pose to build to Sabine Pass on the

road to Alexandria if the people of
Rapides parish will give them such
assistance as is desired. Engineers
are now at work locating the route.
Messrs. j. w. Brown, 9. G. Hem

The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1897-11-27

In the Demands of last week is pub
lished a petition asking Clerk w. L.
Shackelford to run as the Populist can
didate for representative in the constitu-
tional convention, which he accepts in q
long letter Of platitudes. studiously pre-
pared to catch those who do not know
chaff from the real wheat. His express
sion OF noble and patriotic sentiments is
of course to be expected in letter of &C.
ceptance, as no man could do less and
hope to retain public respect. He rather
spoils things, however, by broadly inti-
mating that he is the mos. available and
competent man for the place, which is
richness to the knowing ones. That he
is to be the nominee is almost forgone
conclusion, as he is the recognized leader
and dictator in Grant parish. and there
is not another PopulIst in the ranks who
can hope to turn him down. But while
Mr.. Shackelford is congratulating him
self upon his fiat things" in Office, and
eos.ly humming to himself
"ihey are after me, they are after me!
| I'm TIE individual they desired
still there are mutterings in the air
and we understand that Representative
A. w. Stewart, D. B. Boyt, and a numbe'
of other Pops who have borne the brun
of the battle to put Nj. Shackelford il
his Office over other deserving men, yer,
decidedly declined to sign the petition
asking him to accept another good RIP
plum. Also we hear that it ls put 81
job on the part of the boss, to give bin
the chance of declining, and doing tn
"magnanimous act" thus making hin
solid with the "boys," 1t he should Civ
way TO some one else.

men Drowned.
Charleston, S. c.. Feb. 9.-The Fern
and Dolphin of the blockading squad
ron are already in port, and four other
ships are sighted, but cannot yet be
made out. 1t is thought these are the
cruisers Maine, Columbia and New York
and the monitor Amphitrite, which left
New York Thursday morning and were
caught out in the terrific storm which
ragged off Cape Hatteras Saturday. The
failure of the vessels to arrive here Sun
day when due gave rise to rumors or
disaster
The Maine, Columbia and Amphitrite
arrived at noon Monday. The flagship
New York is expected at any time. The
fleet encountered severe gale Friday
night. fifty miles off Cape Hatteras. Six
men of the Maine were washed over
board. three of whom, Brown, Nelson
and Vogel. were drowned. The others
were rescued by a crew under the COM
mand of Cadet Walter r. Gherardi.
The fleet behaved admirably.

sitting Friday to declare him In con-
tempt and take steps for his punish
ment. Mr. Searles was warmly greeted
by the members of the committee.
Before taking the stand, Mr.. Searles,
at State Senator Lexow's request, made
a statement that he only received the
subpoena as he was on his way to take
a train and that he felt it was his duty
first to attend to the business on hand
at the time. Senator Lexow reprovingly
told Mr.. Searles that the subpoena OF
the committee could not be ignored by
the millionaire or the poor man.
"At the close Of your testimony. Mr..
Searles," added Senator Lexow, "the
committee will pass upon the question
Of contempt"
Mr. Searles said his occupation was
the sugar refining business and that OF
bank president and president OF several

That VIII BE Feature of This Weeks
Business in the House.
Washington, Feb. 9.-The feature of
the week in the house will be the cere-
monies on Wednesday of the counting
of the electoral vote and the formal
PRONUNCIATION of the election Of McKin-
ley and Hobart by the vice president
of the United States. 1t is state oc-
casion, but of a very formal character.
Representative Murray OF South Caro-
lima has been appealed to by his asso-
ciates in the house not to execute his
programme of protesting South Caro-
lina's electoral vote, and it is likely that
he will abide by their advice.
There are three contested election
cases-Beattie VS.. Price, from Louis
lana; Hopkins vs. Kedrick, from Ken
lucky, and Bennett VS.. Boatner, which
probably will be decided. In each case
the majority report favors the sitting
member, a Democrat, and little time
will be consumed In disposing Of them.
Senator Thurston will seek the first
opportunity to conclude his speech on
the Pacific railroad resolution; Senator
Morrill, has given notice of his inten-
ton to advance the bill to prohibit the
sale of LIQUOR at the Capitol, and Sem
ator Sherman will ask the senate to go
into executive session early for the pur-
pose Of considering the general arbitra-
ton with Great Britain. AS soon as
these matters will permit there will be
an effort to proceed with the bankrupt
cv bill. and Ii is not expected that there
will be any avowed opposition to con-
eideration
