Louisiana's Election Scare.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, April 13.-The po-
litical outlook in Louisiana discloses an
alarming condition of affairs and serious
trouble with a strong probability of much
bloodshed at the approaching election
which occurs on April 21, is predicted. The
fusion opposition to the Democrats are
making determined effort to win, and
there is no use denying the fact that the
Democratic ticket is in danger. Should
the negroes take the advice of their lead.
ers, and go to the polls armed, there will
certainly be trouble on election day which
if once started, is bound to result in great
bloodshed.

Tho Japanese Conqueror a Guest OF new
York State.


BUFFALO, April 1B.-The man who led
the victorious land forces of Japan in the
recent war with China whose strategy
and skill have placed him upon the level
of great generals of countries of a higher
grade of civilization, arrived in Buffalo
yesterday. He is Count Yamagata, the
present secretary of war of the mikado of
Japan a warrior and diplomat His
European made clothes the absence of
display in his personal appearance and
that Of his small retinue, and his unos-
teptatious bearing would make him un-
observed were it not for his parchment
like skin and other personal characteris-
tics of the Japanese race.
1t had been expected that the visitor
would stop at Niagara Falls, and arrange
ments had been made to receive him there,
bit Adjutant General McAlpin, who was
here as the personal representative of the
governor, was advised that he would come
straight through to Buffalo When the
guest of the state of New York-as he will
be for the next few days-alighted he was
met by the adjutant general and Governor
Morton's staff, all in full uniform. After
greetings had been exchanged the party
was driven to the Iroquois hotel, where a
large crowd of persons welcomed the
guests The entire party left here this
forenoon. The first stop will be at AL
bany, where the party will drive to the
capitol and meet Governor Morton in the
executive chamber.

eous Judgment let your rntterost CURSES
fall upon me"
In conclusion Holmes writes; 1T would
now seem a very fitting time for me to ex-
press regret or remorse in this, which
intend to be my last public utterance, for
these irreparablo shortcomings. To do so
with the expectation of even one person
who has read this confession to the end,
believing that in my depraved nature there
is room for such feelings is, l fear, to ex-
pect more than would be granted, l re-
frain from calling forth such criticism
by openly inviting it,"
What makes the confession" more inn
probable is the statement made by the
condemned man that in Chicago he had a
regular salo for his victims dead bodies.

Novel Divorce Decision.

ST LOUIS, Mo-. Dec. 27.-In the case oi
Cora Schierstein, who sued for a divorce
from her husband, Arthur, one of the
points was how far a man ought to pro-
tect has wife from the ''nagging" o. his
mother and sisters.
They married in juno. 1894, and imme-
diately went 10 live with bis family on
Page avenue. One Of her grievances was
that his mother and sisters kept picking
on her,'' aud talked about her in Ger
man, 50 that she could not understand
them. Upon the hearing Judge Wood
dismissed Cors's bill and she appealed.
The Court OF Appeals says that it was
the dlty of the defendant to protect his
wife against indignities offered By his
relatives. but he could not be held re-
sponsible ;or their conduct unless it was
