The High License Question.

P1LErTE, La, Nov. 16, 1898.
To the Lafayette Gazette:
Il defend without hesitation and
preamhles the true principles of true
Democracy. 1 shall be short, clear
and precise in my answer: In pro-
testing against the action of the
Police Jury we have done what every
American should do, i. e., protest
against any law tending to favor
those who need not be favored.
Let all friends of this cause renew
their allegiance to it. If we are right
as believe we are, we shall yet
triumph.
On my stand in opposition to the
high license I will say that: :Deus
ofiniqutties" have been seen outside
of our bar-rooms; they have been
seen in all lines of avocation and
profession. We have seen whole
families ruined by being lily advised
by lawyers in their greed for spells
and notoriety: but, all are not to be
blamed for few who might be en-
shaved by Satan; for there are gentle
manly thieves as we'll as ruffian rob-
bers. hope that More Anon does
not belong to that clique dressed
in salvation army garb.
Yours truly,
r. H. BRoussARD.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening STAR
NEW YORK, July o.-The volume Of
legitimate business dwindled to minimum
proportions this morning, and the profess
sicnal element vas mainly interested In
operations for the decline.
The weakness in American Sugar and
some evidence of inside selling in Rock ISL
ana unsettled the general list, but tie de-
ciines were kept within the customary re-.
actIonary limits.
The gloom which followed Sundays milf
tary advices has left an impression upon
The speculative mind which the subseo,5ent
victory Of the navy has not fully expelled.
Consequently, a decisive victory for the
army will be essential to the revival Of en-
thusiasm
Ultimate results are not in doubt, but in
market that has Indicated more than 80
per cent OF the predictions made concerning
IL, attention must be given to present con-
oitions. The expected having happened in
the matter Of increased or extra dividends
ana prices having doubled, in some in
stances, curing the expectant period II is
natural that waiting condition should in
terVene before the hitherto neglected ISSUES
are taken up and made to reflect their pro-
portion OF the general prosperity
Inc War condition very materially causes
some nesltancy at this juncture and ouin-
ION is divided as to whether peace would
advance or depress prices. International
complications may not follow in the wake
OF our new territorial possessions bur
~ will. SUI
Another factor which must sooner or
later come TO the front will be deyeloneI
from the ef1ux of speculative and adven-
turous capital to Cuba. American enter
prise ana American capital are certain TO
appTeclate the opportunities of the new
neid, ana wan street may lose for a time
certain following which has OF recent
years made turn in each account during
every season. e
Reasoning in this way conservative

be introduced and considered in committee
and = 1t y esteemed proper bill win pass
the House.
II confess that am of those who do not
believe any further legislation in regard to
railroads is profitable. Our previous exper-
ience In this kind of legislation has not
been reassuring. The Pattison commission
used the following language in their re-
port: Nearly every obligation which these
corporations assumed under the laws of the
United States, or as common carriers has
been violated. Their management has been
a national Disgrace
THE Wilson committee spoke as follows:
Every precaution that Congress had taken
Tor the proper management of these great
properties has failed of Its purpose
"By further legislation you will only
complicate matters. Let there be a fore
closure snd sale; at the sale let anybody
bid who wants to buy the roads, and then
we should be sure of get ting the full value
or the property. Then the government will
have no further interests in railroads, and
the railroads will be out of politics.
Adopt this scheme and the country will
nave railroad politics as long as the debt
lasts. They will be here within year ask
ing for modihca ton of the plan. Let US
end the matter and get rid of IT as we
rld OF the Union Pacific and the Kansas
Pacific.
Il want to deny in most emphatic man
ner that the people of California are for
the government ownership of these rail-
reads.
may favor the ownership of the railroads
by the government, but the people of the
state do not ask nor expect that the gov
ernment should own the roads and run
them for the benefit of California What
they are striving for is competing line of
railroad. One company now controls all
the railroads which cross the continent and
reach the middle and northern part of the
state. Our people believe that competition
viii be beneficial to them, and they. have
been waiting and praying for a rival rail-
road If this amendment is adopted their
hopes will be blasted forever. For that
reason am opposed to the amendment"
Mr. McRae tArk) opposed and Mr.. Grow
CPa-) adv coated the amendment, the latter
giving review of Pacific railroad iegisla-
tlcn from the inception of the scheme to
| build the line. He contended the govern
| ment would not lose cent by reason of
the proposed settlement.
The conference reports upon the bills to
increase the force of the ordnance depart
ment and to protect harbor defenses and
| Notifications against injury were adopted.
Mr.. Newlands (Nev), in opposing the
railroad amendment, declaring his opposi-
ton to any funding proposition as tending
to perpetuate monopoly now enjoyed by
the Pacific roads.

MIGHT SAVE THE COLON,
Wrecking Steamer to BE Sent to the
Cuban COoSf.

The Navy Department is already making
arrangements to recover as much of the
valuable Spanish fleet as can be saved
Today an arrangement was closed with the
Merritt & Chapman Wrecking Company
to undertake the salvage of as much prop
erty as possible from the wrecks. The
companys wrecking steamer J. j. Merritt
left New York yesterday for Newport
News, Va, where she will take on coal and
needed supplies and proceed directly to
Cuba A report from Commodore Watson
seems to show that when it was sent there
was a possibility of saving the Cristobal
Colon, the most powerful vessel of the
Spanish squadron and one of the best
armored cruisers Of her type In the world
This was the last of the Spanish ships to
succumb to the American attack, going
ashore at a point about sixty miles west of
Santiago.
The news which has reached here through
the press that violent tropical cyclone is
raging on the south Cuban coast causes
the technical officers of the department to
fear that the Spanish ships will be entirely
destroyed before the wreckers can get to
work on them. as their thin hull plates
would quickly be torn to pieces on the
rocky shore.

in tow, About 8 o'clock that even
ing, three miles away, Third Mate
Stewart heard guns and saw three
rockets go up and blue light, the
signal OF distress, burning. The
Grecian signaled to the Cromarty-
shire that she was going to assist the
vessel signaling. In few minutes,
however, the ligh. disappeared, and
no more guns or rockets were dis
charged, the vessel certainly having
sunk. Professor Lacasse, one of the
survivors, is of the opinion that there
was third vessel in the collision, as
he saw the Bourgogne sink within
ten minutes after the collision.
The Cromartyshire, Capt Henderson,
sailed from Dunkirk on June for Phila-
delphia. She is a fu1l-rigged three-masted
ship of 1852 tons register. She was built
at Glasgow in 1879, and is owned by w.
Law & Co. of that city. She is 24S feet
long, has 81 feet beam and is 22.S feet deep.

NEW YORK, July 6.-La Bourgogne was
built in 1856 at La Seyne. She was a four
masted, ship-rigged screw steamer, of
1885 tons gross register, and of 5000 horse
power. She was 4945 feet long, had 522
feet beam and was 34.6 feet deep. She
was built of steel and iron, had twelve
water-tight compartments and carried
water ballast
The officers of La Bourgogne were:
Deloncla, commander
| Dupont F'r), second CAPTAIN,
Pichard, first officer.
| Delinge, second officer.
Rempler, third officer
| Dalido, chief engineer.
| Brissac (Ch), second engineer.
| Gautier, third engineer.
| Laisne, fourth engineer.
| Durand, purser.
| Scol assistant purser

| La Bourgogne was in collision before
| She collided with the steamship Alisa near
| New York on February %, 1896 No lives
were then lost.
