A JUDGE FEELS THE LAW.

A JUDGE FEELS THE LAW.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 30.-Excite-
ment was caused in this city today
by the Indictment of Judge Noise,
of section B, Criminal District
court, for SANDER and oppression
in office. This was brought about
several days ago, when District
Attorney Butler applied to the
Judge for nolle prosequi in the
case of Henry Bier, the convicted
millionaire perjurer. In refusing to
enter the motion, the judge said
had the attorney general OF the
state asked for the nolle prosequi
ne would have granted it. Mr..
Butler took offense and criticised
the Judges criticisms severely,
for which he was sent to the parish
prison for twenty-four hours for
contempt of court.
THE LUCKY CULBERsoNs.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 3d.
Especial. The chief event OF the
small caucus of democrats in the
house this afternoon was the Sc
lection of Culberson, Of Texas, as
chairman of the democratic organ
ization. All ante.congressional
talk about the opposition to ex-
Speaker Crisp because of his free
silver views, is of newspaper origin
amounting to nothing. The caucus
today gave the old house officers
the eppty honor of renomina-
tion. .
THE POPE MAKES A SPEECH.
ROME, Nov. 30.-The sacred con-
sistory was held at the vatican
yesterday, over which the pope pre-
sided. His holiness is in fair
health, and made a speech of some
length, eulogizing the new cardi-
mails whom the consistory has
elected to the sacred college. The
proceedings lasted only half an
hour owing to the pope becoming
somewhat fatigued. The elocution
pronounced by the pope at the con-
sistory was published today. He
alluded to the situation in the east
and said he was fully aware Of its
gravity. The holy see added, he
never was Indifferent to the condi-
tions of the Armenians and desired
to see the various people Of Turkey
governed on equality and with an
equity.
OFFENDED AT sALISBURY'S SPEECH
CoNsrANTINoPLE, Nov. 30.-The
sultan and ministers are painfully
surprised at Lord Salisbury read
ing the sultan's message to him at
a meeting of the National Conser-
vative union on November 18th.
The message was strictly confiden-
tial. The sultan's request for Lord
Salisbury to deliver another speech
is presumably meant he should
make a speech that would neutral
iZe the effect of the speech deliv-
cred at the banquet given by the
lord mayor on November 9th,
without making any reference, in
in fact that the sultan asked him
to do so.
HUNGARIAN BLO0DS TO FIGHT.
BUDA, Pesth, Nov. 30.-In the
lower house OF the Hungarian diet
yesterday, Herr Andriesky re-
preached Herr Won Percsel, Min
lister OF the Interior, for assistance
in electoral abuses. In reply to
the charges made against him,
the minister said the accusation
was insolent, and used language
offensive to Herr Andriesky, and
the house. The president finally
interviewed, and called the minis
ter to order. After the sitting
Herr Audriesky sent to Herr Won
Percscl a challenge to fight duel,
which was accepted. Herr Won
Percsel is temporarily resigning
the ministerial post in order to be
able to meet his adversary on the
field of honor.
SULTAN SAW THE BREACH.
VIENNA, Nov. 30.-The powers,
which day or two ago were not
unanimous on the Turkish ques-
ton, have again fallen into line.
The sultan knew there was hitch
OF some kind, and his obstinacy
regarding the guardship firmans
resulted therefrom. The lesson
will not be lost on the powers.

PARIS, Nov. 30.-It is announced
