In Louisiana.

NEW ORLEANS, La, January IA =
fhe usual fscflonsr Contest between
the republicans OF Louisiana, that IN
variably follows the advent Of a new
republican administration, will be
inaugurated at the special meeting, this
afternoon, Of the state central commit
tee.
Since the recent death Of Chairman
Cage, the control has been in the hands
OF Vice. Chairman Boothby, and who
was recently instructed by the commit
tee to issue a call for a meeting,
to-day. Instead of doing so. however,
he set the meeting for two months
hence. Thereupop, two-thirds of the
committee, to total Of thirty, Joined
with State Secretary Joubert in calling
to- days meeting, and at which Hon.
P. F. Herwig will be elected as the late

Boothby chairman. The Boothby
crowd were supporters of Mr.. Reed,

ILLINOIS CONTEST.
The Most Bitter Senatorial Fight Ever Known
In That State.

: SPR1NGF1E4FB,, HAiliiaaeiissy j asxary IA
The most bitter senatorial fight in the
history Of Illinois is likely to be set
tied, late this afternoon, when the
republican members Of the senate and
house will 60 into caucus.
This morning, the hotels and ou.-
side headquarters Of the various can
didates, are crowded with politicians
from county bosses to ward -heelers,
and who are plugging for all they are
worth in the interest of their respective
candidates. Two thirds of the mum.
Der, however, are enrolled under the
banner of Martin Madden, the IN.
savory candidate Of the machine, and
whose chances, Notwithstanding the
character and ramifications of the fight
that has been made against him, are,
this morning, regarded as excellent.
Ex- -Congressman William E. Mason Is
his only formidable opponent; but the
latter, although he has good follow
ing, cannot by any possibility make
any gains from the Madden forces,
aud the contest therefore resolves itself
down to the Chicago alderman or a
dark horse.
So far, there have been no indica-
lions that the incoming national ad-
ministration has exerted its influence
for or against anyone concerned In the
contest; although prior to the st. Louis
convention, Madden was one OF the
noisiest and most vindlctive anti
McKinleyites in the state.

UNDERLYING MOTIVES.
Why Justice Hawkins Was SO Bitter Agslns 4
Lady Scott.

NEW YORK, N. T., January H.
A London dispatch says;- Half-a.
dozen stories are in circulation con.
oerning the underlying motives that
prompted the bitterness and severity
manifested by Justice Hawkins toward
Lady Scott and her co-defendants dpr-
ing the now famous trial last week |;
but the nature OF one and all of them
is of character that forbids their
finding their way into print even Ia
CLOSED language.
1t seems to be generally accepted
that strong influence antagonistic to
the defendants was brought to bear
upon the court at the instance of cer-
tain parties in high station who had
reasons to fear that their own families
would become involved, were Lady
Scott acquitted, and thus practically
given free license to 60 still deeper
into the scandals of which Earl Rus.
sell is the center figure, and only the
outside crust Of which, it is asserted,
has so far been touched.
As it is, however, she was compelled
before the passing of sentence, to give
an undertaking to stop her stirring the
hideous mess, and as a consequence
there are many people that breathe
easier So far as Earl Russell is con-
cerned, the outcome, instead of being
regarded as a vindication, is generally
considered an additional condemna-
tion. The earnest assertions of Cock
erton and Aylott that everything they
had stated against the ear. was true,
reiterated, as they we're. moment
before sentence was passed, and with
the knowledge that the iDsistence OF
the defendants might add to the sever
ity of the sentence, have created pro-
found impression; and hereafter, except
to his own small circle Of intimates,
Earl Russell will be very much OF an
Ishmaelite
