Jordan Pump Controversy Settled
The controversy between the Or
leans IIevee Board ard the New York
Dredging Company over the Jordan
avenue pump is at an end, and the
dredging company have come out VIC
torious. That is, they will get oil that
is coming to them and the $1,000 that
the board irten.lel holding back until
II could be satisfied that the pump
did all that was required Of it will be
refunded TO the dredging company,
and the entire price Of sthe contract,
$4,000, will be paid over to them.
Certain facts We're presented to the
board at its regular meeting held in
New Orleans Friday in relation to this
controversy, which, had they been
presented q month ago, would have
avoided all trouble and would have
d me away with the little ill-feeling
that has arisen between all parties in
terestea. The facts in question were
nothing else than map--a blue print.
1t was on this map that the New York
Dredging Company did the wo.k, and
had the board seen this self same map
when the contractor was ready to turn
over the pump, there would not have
been the slightest wran Gle over the full
fillment of the contract, and the mat
ter would have been ended at the first
meeting.

FROM ACROSS THE POND
A Correspondent Says Germans
Are Weary Of William.
THE CELEBRATION FELL FLAT
Death OF Two Emperors Has Made Room
for Strangely Different
Sovereign.

London, Jan. 19.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Times, in the course of
long special article recalling the SPLEEN
did enthusiasm of the victory of 1874
says:
Can 1t be said the heart of the Ger
man nation responded yesterday with
the same enthusiasm, or that in many
minds the splendid memories of the past
were not to some extent dlmmed and
marred by disappointed expectations
and uneasy apprehensions? The death
of the two emperors has made room for
a sovereign of strangely different
type, of whom all that can be said safely
is that in this year of his age and in the
eighth of his reign his chief character
tistic Is his youth"
The correspondent then proceeds to
refer to the absence of Prince Bismarck
the king of Saxony, the grand duke of
Baden and General Blumenthal from
the fetes; and, reviewing the interna-
tional troubles and the menacing out
look abroad he says: Few Germans
can look forward without apprehension
to the issue of the great conflict upon
which it is universally felt the destinies
of this young empire still hang. Between
the lines of the dithicambric leading ar
ticles one may read even today some
thing of the disappointed WEAKNESS and
uneasy restlessness which have been
cast over the glorious memories of the
past, the shadow of the anxious future

KENTUCKY SENATORIAL ELECTION
Forces OF Both blackburn and Hunter
suspicious and Determined.

SUSPICIOUS anu btteTmiUSu.
Cincinnati, Jan. ia Commercial
Gazette special from Frankfort, Ky,
says:
The city Is filing up tonight with
friends of Blackburn and Hunter. AL
though the leaders of both parties had
agreed there should be no balloting for
senator until February 4, or until after
the successor of Wilson had qualified,
yet the nominees of the caucuses seem
to be so suspicious of each other that
they are marshaling their forces here
for balloting in both houses separately
on Tuesday, and friends of Hunter are
claiming he will be declared elected
Wednesday.
Some republican senator's insist they
will join the democrats in postponing
the election until after Wilson's success
sor arrives. Some of Hunters most ar
dent supporters think the scheme to
postpone the election of a senator was
a trick in the interest of Bradley or
Verkes and that they shall therefore
not abide by 1t.
I'm addition to the opposition from
those who want to stand by the com
promise agreement. Populist Poor has
become estranged from Hunter, but
says he will never go to Blackburn, so 1t
does not seem possible for any election
of a senator to occur this week. A dead
lock between Hunter and Blackburn
with their fighting friends on the
ground is expected to make trouble.
Both sides are very determined and sus-
picious.'

CHARGED WITH TREASON
John Hays Hammond to Be Put
on Trial at johannesburg.
FATHER SHERMAN INTERESTED
Wires an Appeal TO senator sherman
and General Miles TO Use Their
Influence.

Denver, Jan. 19.-Father Thomas e.
Sherman, son of the late General w. I.
Sherman, who is engaged in mission
work in Denver, today received from j.
l.. Houghteling, of the Chicago firm of
Peabody & Houghteling. a telegram to
the effect that the trial of John Hays
Hammond for high treason will occur
at johannesburg tomorrow, and urg-
ing him to use his influence to avert the
heavy penalty that is likely to follow
Hammond's conviction.
Father Sherman and Mr.. Houghteling
were classmates of Hammond at Yale.
Father Sherman at once wired an APP
peal to his uncle, Senator Sherman, and
to General Miles, who is also a relative,
to use their influence with the admins
tration to interfere in Hammond's be-
half.
Hammond was recently arrested by
the Transvaal government on a charge
of high treason in connection with the
recent difficulties. He is well known in
nearly every mineral producing state In
the United States as a mining expert
and is under contract with Cecil
Rhodes, late premier of Cape Colony, at
a salary of 5000 a year.

IDAHO ASYLUM ALSO AN ALMsHouse
Psopie Sent TO Biackroot Only Because
They Are Paupers.


Boise, Idaho, Jan. 1S-Major Cava-
naugh, one of the directors of the asy-
lum for the insane at Blackfoot, has re-
turned from a meeting of the board.
He states that as a result of the inves-
legations of DR.. Moore, the new super
intendent, they are satisfied that many
persons have been sent to the asylum
who do not belong there. Some of these
are individuals who should have been
sent to the county poorhouse. In other
cases the examining physicians and
probate judge have carelessly permitted
persons to be sent to the asylum who
were not insane.
The reason for those who instituted
the proceedings against these is only
conjectural. but 1t is significant that
now, when the superintendent wishes to
discharge the patients, their friends
show that they wish them to remain
there. The board has no funds to send
such people to their homes, it can not
turn them out, and it is thus placed in
an awkward position. In some aggra-
waited cases an effort will be made to
compel husbands or others to send for
patients, and some sensational develop
ments may follow.

SYMPATHY FOR THE ARMEkIANS
A Big Mass Meeting of Citizens at Chi.
cagO Yesterday.

Chicago, Jan. ia largely attended
citizens mass meeting was held this
afternoon at Oak Park for the purpose
of giving an expression of sympathy for
the suffering Armenians in the Turkish
empire and taking up collection for
their benefit.
Resolutions were adopted and trans
mitted to the president and congress to
the effect that. while the meeting recog-
nized the right of every government,
when properly exercised, to forcibly re-
press rebellion within its borders and to
restrain and imprison political agita-
tors seeking to incite revolt, yet any
government which can not exercise this
right of self-preservation without oc-
casioning the slaughter of thousands
of women, children and innocent citi-
zens does. either by its imbecility or it's
cruelty, place itself entirely outside of
the pale of civilized nations, and forfeits
its right to exist.

CINCINNATI is STILL VERY ACTIVE
Failing TO Get the Convention, She Now
Wants the Nomiuatiou.

Wants the Nomination.
Cincinnati, Jan. 19.-Since this city
did not get the national democratic con-
vention, now a movement to get the
nomination has been started. 1t Is ar
gued that no effort was made to secure
the republican national convention, as
Ohio had candidate in Mckinley, and
If the democratic convention had been
held here no local candidate could have
been consistently presented.
The Cincinnati delegation that went
to Washington last week to present the
claims of this city to the national dem
ocratic committee was headed by Mel
vile E. ingalls,, president of the Big
Four and other railways, and he is the
man that a combination of business
men and politicians are considering as
a candidate who would command the
confidence of business interests in these
stringent times.
The failure of James L. Campbell
again to become governor and of Calvin
S. Brice to be returned as senator at
the last election is cited as clearing the
way for the ingalls, men to get a solid
Ohio delegation and then the support of
other states.

FIGHT THE RAILWAY FUNDING BILL

San Francisco, Jan. 18.-The state
convention to protest against the pas
sage of the Pacific railroad funding bill
called by Mayor Sutro, was not largely
attended at its first session. The alb
sence of many expected delegates was
ascribed to the shortness of the call for
the convention, and it was first pro-
posed to postpone the meeting for
week. A committee of 10 was appointed
to draft resolutions. The convention
adopted a strong resolution protesting
against the Pacific railroad funding bill
and directing that "A copy of the mes
age be sent to congress. Five delegat as
were elected to go to Washington and
work against the passage of the fund
ing bill by congress.
