THE RACES.
New Orleans Results.

New Orleans, Feb 22-A holiday crowd of fully 5000 people celebrated Washing tons birthday at the race course this af- ternoon.

The pro- gramme was not a specially sensational one, still Roosevelt in the mile handicap reeled off a mile in 1:41%. beating Terra pin nose in hard drive. Jockey Hill again distinguished himself by riding three winners-Bloomer Rouble and Master Fred. On the first he had about all he could do to get home first, but Master Fred was very clever In the sec ond race Roltair, 50 to 1, was winning easily, when his boy went to sleep, and the favorte, Parmesan, just pulled the race out of the fire in the last jump. At a sale of race horses here today s. T. H. Shannon gave $700 for Royal Choice and Al Rouse bought several others for the race meeting at the City of Mexico. Sum maries:

SECRETARY MORTON shows that - per cent. nearly throe-fourths of the farms of the country occupied by their owners are free of incumbrancc of any kind. Three-fourths of the farm mortgages represent money borrowed to buy the farms or improve them. This state of affairs does not show that our farmers as class are being eaten by debt or that their condition is going from bad to worse. Nor does it appear that farmers pay largely more than other people pay fo- the money they borrow. The secretary or agriculture shows that on the average they pay less than one per cent more than is charged on residential prop crty, a class of realty usually turacd in the market more readily than farm property.

 On the 20th ut. MT. Wm. Broderick. recently yardmaster at Guaymas for the Sonora railway. removed Co Los Angeles, Cal, with his family, and has entered the United States railway mail service, having taken a run be- tween Los Angeles and Fl Paso.
 MT Guillermo Robinson, son of Judge Robinson, of Guaymas, a young gentleman well known in Nogales. who has been at La Barranca some months engaged in mining, and who recently came home for visit, Is now quite ill with fever. He had termi- hated his visit at home and started on his return to La Barranca when he was taken i'll and was obliged to turn back to Guaymas. He has since been very i'll, but is now reported im- proving
 Mr. Wm. Lund has two vessels en route to Guaymas, the Tampa from San Francisco and the C. w. Wall from Puget Sound. They are both laden with lumber. and the Zampa also has tue tank stuff for the tanks that are to be put mp at Mlnas Prietas for the extensive cyanide process which the Creston. Colorado Co. will erect. To meet the requirements of hts large and rapidly increasing lum- Der business Mir Lund has recently imported team of large and power ful draft mules with harnesses and wagons of the most substantial dcs- cription.
 Mir. ". II. Bently, an employe Of the Anglo Mexican Mining O., at San Jose de Gracia, arrived at GuaYmas Sunday evening returning to Sinaloa aster visit of five months at his home in Illinois. He reports that he is recently in receipt ofa letter from MT. Phillips, manager of the company conveying the intelligence that in new workings below the main tunnel level in the Jcsns Maria mine a new and very rich body of ore has been devel- oped contrary To the opinion of all the experienced miners in the camp The company is erecting a cyanide plant to work the large deposit of tailings which has accumulated.
 The American colony in Guaymas complain of having been lately "touched'' very deftly by number of genteel hobos who have visited the place. They were well dressed, well educated, with elegant manners, smooth way of doing things generally, and always with some entertaining scheme to divert the unwary stranger and put him in complacent frame of mind in which he could be successfully asked for loan. One gentleman who was up from Sinaloa on business re- gently confessed to a couple of friends that Tn couple Of weeks time he had been 'done to the tune of l50 adobes, and that one man had got sixty of them, while another had succeeded in wheedlng him out of board, lodging and whlskey money for several days. The latter fastened himself upon q San Francisco gentleman stopping in Guaymas temporarily, and induced the latter to agree t0 pay his way to Mazatlan and Manzanillo, whither he was going: but he began to 'get unto the combination" and saw that to take the man with him down the coast would saddle upon himself an unend- ing expense; so he invested in ticket to Phoenix the money he had intended using to pay the passage to Manza- nillo, and giving that to MT.

that at times the sum thus raised has
been a very large one. Under the
new law nobody will have to pay tax
for protection, nor for influence in get
ting a license, or in keeping it. The
more reputable liquor dealers, mean
ing by that those whose places are not
the haunts of the dissOlute, will be in
terested in assisting the authorities in
preventing illegal selling, and infract-
ions of the law.
1t was discovered that in Pennsyl-
vania the prediction was made that the
Republicans would be overwhelmed by
the adoption of the high license law.
But the maiorities of the party were
maintained and increased. So, too, IN
Ohio and Massachusetts,, and popular ap
proval will be obtained in Connecticut,
which has not had a general election
since the high license law went into
effect.
1t has seemed worth while thus to
make rather an extended report of the
circumstances attending the passage OF
this law, because it is really the most
important legislation the State will
have to consider this year, and because
elsewhere a great deal of interest has
been manifested by the politicians.

WHANN'S LIST PASSED.
Levy Court Took the Books as They We're
Presented.
). p SMYTH.
SECRETARY.

The Levy Court last week accepted
the assessments list of the Third Dis
trict, Wilmington, as presented by
Charles Whann, the Republican asses
sor, and thus ended all the cry of fraud
which was raised. Nothing was said
in the court about the acceptance.
For some time the Democratic lead
ers have been considering the matter,
but decided that they could do moth
ing. First, the Democratic County
Committee presented protest to As
SCISSOR Whann, but he paid no attention
to the claims of the Democrats that the
list was padded. Then the matter was
carried before the Levy Court and
there was much talk of purging the
list
The Morning NelUS called attention
to the decision of Chancellor Sauls-
bury, given some years ago, when the
Republicans sought to purge the lists.
The decision was to the effect that the
Levy Court must accept the lists as re-
turned by the assessors and could not
change them. The Republicans, with
this precedent, were not afraid to go
into court in the Whann case. 1t did
not take the Democrats long to see
that they were bound by this decision,
and they at once began to delay mat
ters. The consideration of the assess
ment was put off as long as possible
and then taken up. In the meantime
it had been found that the assessment
must stand and it did stand. Mr..
Whann claiming that it is substantially
correct.
'"This," remarked Willard Sauls-
bury of the county Democratic com
mittee to a reporter of EUery EUenillg
twill put much greater labor on the
Democrats to prevent fraud at the
registration and election. / think we
will be able to prevent any great fraud
by reason of the padding of the lists.
In addition to all of the negroes they
could find that ever lived in the State
they have large number of fictitious
names, which they hope to supply with
voters when the time comes. Our en-,
deavor will be to prevent this. +"
