SPLIT OF Lou1sIANA's c. o. p.
The Lily whites and Sugar Planter
Element Unable to Agree.

New Orleans, Oct s.-Many conferences
have been held recently between the
Lilly White or Sugar Planter" re-
pubicans and the regular republicans
with view TO harmonizing their differ
ences and agreeing upon a joint state
electoral ticket and congressional can
didates. The conferences have not re-
suited in anything except increased irri-
tation between the factions and harmony
is further off than ever.
1t may be stated once for all there will
be no agreement reached, said a prom
inent republican leader to-day to a South
ern, Associated Press reporter. 1.-The
sugar planters do not care for harmony
They would like to have the credit Of
electing members of congress from the
First, Second and Third districts, but
they have no interest in anything else
me regulars will not help them to do this
to the exclusion of other party interests,
so there you are"
The decision of the democratic election
supervisors not to give the sugar plant
ers representation at the polls is causing
the planters much worry. They will try
to obtain redress in the courts. They will
hardly succeed.

Eloquent Tributes to the Deceased
Member by librarian Spof.
ford and Others.

The first OF the fan and winter series
OF meetings OF tue library Association of
washington city was held last evening at
Tie Columbian University. There was
iair attendance and President Cyrus Adler
al ihe Smithsonian Institution was III the
chair, with Miss Clark of the document de-
pariment as secretary.
The feature OF the meeting was a
memorial address on the late DR.. j. NJ
Toner of rtis city by Mr.. a Il. spofford,
congressional librarian. A constant in
tercUurse lasting over fifty years with DR..
Toner, said Mr. Spofford, led him to the
conclusion that in every way he was
man Of marked individuality, whether
viewed as student, physician, citizen,
public bencfacior, phiianthrcpist or book
collector.
He was man of strong opinions but
WAS entirely free from bias aud a a ply
sician possessed all those qualities which
20 1" make IA successful ana popular praC-
tItioncr.
Wh,ic a mau of maikeu Intellectual in
dustry, he was, SAID Mr.. Spoff"rd, one
of the few scholars who could not spell
correctly and III conversation. sometimes,
50 fast would his ideas form that his words
would tumble out pell-mcli, with no mean
ing.
AS a public benefactor his name is well
known. He donated his library, which he
spent n lifetime in collecting. to Congress,
provided for the Toner lectures at the
Smithsonian Institute and gave the Toner
medal to Georgetown College.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Spofford's adj
dress President Adler related some Incl
dents of the life of Dr. Toner. Several
of the delegates who attended the confer
ence of the American Library Association
held In Cleveland in September, gave a
brief history OF the work of the convention
in its various branches.

The first horseless carriage ever expert

Witnesses 10 the affair assert that while

passengers also formed very picturesque

Ii Frederick, himself. is Il skilled lock-
smith and hence his early discovery cf the
key to the problem OF the shortest line be-

Mr. Frederck's calculations were all
right except that he did not make any
allowances for Willie Collier, who was out
