NEW ORLEANS OFFICIALS
WE'RE OUT FOR THE STUFF.
the City Has Been swindled
Out OF Millions.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 31.-The
report to Judge Noise OIL the municipal
scandal. 1t is as follows:
The presentments made by US
during our term have doubtless in
dicated that the main object of
our investigation has been in the ad-
ministration of the government of the
city of New Orleans. Ii our work WAS
fruitful of these indictments we are
convinced that many transactions remain
yet for probing by our successors
with promise of revealing the existence
OF criminal misconduct. The report
shows that the prices paid to the city
OF New Orleans for the several fran
chiSes by the purchasers at the sales
were: City railroad, 800. 200; Crescent
City railroad. S15o,0O0; Judath Hart
railroad, Sl24,00O.
Our examination Of the books of the
New Orleans Traction company reveals
the startling fact that the actual COST OF
these franchises to that corporation, as
shown by the franchise account on their
books, was 81, $50, 900. The franchise OF
the New Orleans City d Lake railroad
was sold to Henry Blair for s70O,000.
The Traction company furnished him
with the collaterals on which he Sc
cured the purchase money. They paid
him $S00,000 for the franchise which
he had purchased with their money for
S700,000 aud then paid him SS0.000
in first mortgage bonds as his commis.
sion. No one knows where The extra
100000 went. but tie belief is that it
was used to secure the franchise
in the usual way" The grand jury
report is quite lengthy, and it shows
equally crookedness in Rosetta
gravel, street and paving contracts and
i'll the garbage contracts. Two indict-
ments for bribery also accompanied the
report. One was again 81 Dan A. Mainar
for proposing to receive a bribe of $780,

CROAKERS CALLED DOWN,

The Chicago Herald sent reporter
through the wholesale district to inter-
view the merchants on the condition of
trade. He sums up the results and
condenses the numerous inlerxiews as
follows:
Business is generally compared with
that OF two years ago, at least by job
bers. since last year was disappointing
one with them almost disastrous in
some cases. The figures are reported
as showing all increase of from 25 to 80
per cent in volume for the present
month over that of 1892. While the in :
crease has been most noticeable during
the past two weeks, since it became ap-
parent that the taiiff uncertainty was
at an end.there seems to have been a
feeling since the first of August that a
settlement of the disturbing question
was near at hand, according to the
opinions of those seen yesterday, and
the fall buying set IN at that time. 1t
was slow at first, and limited to neces-
sites. When congress finally turned
the bill over to the president, caution
gave way to confidence. and when
Tuesdays sun ushered in the revised
era Of tariff taxation, thousands of
orders which had been locked up in
safes were dispatched t6 this city. and
the doors were opened for the shipment
OF goods that had been closed for many
tiresOme months.
We commend the statement to the
croakers and calamity shrekers, and
especially to those who are just now
preaching the new Reed gospel of the
paralysis of disquietude."

I
The county convention yesterday was
thoroughly Democratic. Every man
having an opinion he cared 10 express
vented il, Indifferent whether it met the
general approval or not. If it did, we'll
and good; if it did not, he had had his
say. Differences tenaciously held, were
| fought ont on the floor of the cOnven-
ton. Republicans. amazed at the free
dom of speech and its earnestness. gath
cred the idea that the convention was
hopelessiy rent by faction. From their
point Of view they were right. They
are so accustomed to the cut and dried,
TO the submissiveness of all to the lead
ers, that they cannot comprehend a
healthy Democratic contest of clash
! ing opinions. Were such scene to Oc-
cur in Republican conventional would
be an lnfallihle sign of an irreparable
split.
| 1t was Democratic in other things. 1t
insisted on the representation Of the
ward, the present unit of organization,
i'll the state delegation, apportioning
the delegates in proportion to the votes
Of the several wards. The move to
have the oelegates appointed by COM
mittee, purely and truly paternal
| plan, found no place. and never should
find place in Democratic convention.
! The delegation to the state convention
Is thus representative of the whole
body of the Democracy of the county
and OF the various opinions enter
tanned by the members of the p. ty.
1t was Democratic, too, in its sinstrnc-
tions to its delegates to oppose any
proposition of fusion with any party,
and the convention made Judge Willis
the Democratic candidate by instructlng
the delegation to secure his nomination;
an easy task, we feel sure. in state
convention made up of delegates who
have all, at one time or another, heard
the eloquent Judge in his many cam
paignS.
But it was Democratic to the back
bone in the resolution it adopted indors-
Ing the action of the president and the
house of representatives in their en-
deavor to carry into execution the COM
mand OF the national party, and in its
reprobation of the handful of senators,
falsely styled Democrats. who conspred
to obstruct, and, as far as possible, de-
feat those efforts. AS all illustration
of the spirit that animates the rank and
tile of our party, its earnestness in the
| great cause Of freedom in which it is
enlisted. and as rebuke to those who
have imagined because Democrats were
dissatisfied with the final action of con-
gress that therefore they were abandon
ing the cause, the resolutions are timely
and excellent.

CHICAGO. Aug. 31.-Chicago paper
syndicate has purchased all the paper
and pulp mills in the Fox river vail ey.
of Wisconsin, and thereby made CON-
bination of that trade in the West.
At the Office of the Chicago Paper
company it was stated today that the
promoter, Butterworth, who is said to
have negotiated the deal. has been
around Appleton for some time. calling
upon the different manufacturers. He
has not made any propositions. but
has simply asked for options
on the different plants in
that vicinity. All he intends to do is
tn get the figures and send them to Lon
don for the inspection of the capitalists
who employ him. If the figures are
satisfactory something HAY come out OF
the work. but so far there has been no
deal made. Mr.. Butterworth has not
secured single option. but he is likely
to get prices On all the mills.
This Tells Another Story.
APPLETON, Wis, Aug. 81. Paper
makers generally decline discussing
the reported purchase Of all Wisconsin
paper and pulp mills by all English
syndicate. But none will deny the
pendency or negotiations or that they
have agreed upon price. A few corrob-
crate the statements printed yesterday,
and acknowledge that they have agreed
to sell. 1t is said $4,000 has already
been spent in the work of appraising
the properties. The plans of the syn.
dicate include the establishment a: Chi.

Close Watch Put over Him for
Fear of an Attempt to Escape.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 81. - United
States Marshal Barry Baldwin has made
up his mind that Gen. Antonio Eze
has planned to escape. He has doubled
the guards around him, has him cooped
in room in his MOTEL, where he is de-
MED to visitors, the doors are locked
and the windows barred. No condemned
felon was ever more closely guarded.
When Gen. EZeta was first placed in
the custody OF the marshal it was under
stood on all sides that he was to bs
courteously treated, as became one OF
his prominent Station, and that while a
careful surveillance was to be kept, and
no chance left for escape, all
efforts should be made to make
the prisoners as comfortable as possible.
with this understanding the general
and his companions were allowed to
take rooms at the California hotel at
their own expense, being guarded con-
Stantly, however, DY two deputies. He
was notified, i'll general way, that he
would be allowed the liberty of the cor
ridor Oh the sixth floor, under the
watchful eye OF a deputy. This was. of
course, With the idea of giving him
cnance TO exercise. For his own part,
and for his companions, Gen. Ezeta gave
his parole of honor as soldier and a
gentleman that no attempt would bs
made 10 escape. This arrangement
went along without clash. Several
times during the first few days the gen.
eral took short walks Oh the streets
and got some sort of glimpse
at life in San Francisco. Now the gen.
elal has been notified that he will be re-
CURED to keep himself closely to room
62O, being allowed to leave 1t only at
meal times, Tor room COZ, where the
dining table was set. There are to be no
mere strolls OH the street, even in TIE
care OF deputies. He explained that he
thought this rather IA peculiar order,
considering that his word as a soldier
had been given that no attempt would
be made to escape. His attorney eX-
poStulaLed in the same vein. but to no
avail, and 10 room GO the general has
since been confined. An extra guaid
mas been placed inside, with the door
locked Oh the outside and another
deputy placed there to see that no at
tempt is made to sortie through lnat.
