Speciul Precautions Taken for Pro.
lection of New
Orleans.
New Orleans, April 20.-This was n
day of great activity on the Mississippi
river twenty miles below this city at
Forts Jackson and ST. Philip. Major
Quinn made a trip to the forts last
night with Lieutenant Jervey for the
purpose of attending Immediately to
the laying Of mines and the placing OF
torpedoes.
The electric plate for the shore bat
teries has already been erected and the
expert labor and materials have been
on the spot for several days. a large
number of torpedoes have been re-
ceived from Willett's Point, and these
have been supplemented by torpedoes
manufactured in this city. Under
these circumstances the matter of lny.
ing the mines is only a question of a
very little time. Lieutenant Com.
mander Wadhams, III charge of the
seventh patrol district of the Atlantic
coast, has issued a call for masters,
mates and engineers of vessels and
other ~seafnring men who are familiar
with the coast Of the Gulf of Mexico.
Today he received important orders
from headquarters through Captain G.
f. Goodrich, which gives him contro'
of the movements of no fewer thar
twenty-five vessels. These will be
used as patrols between Galveston ana
Mobile, an approximate distance along
the seaboard of 440 miles.
The Southern Pacific railroad Off
cials received n wire last nightthat The
first detachment of the United State!
troops for this: city were at San An
tonic, being rushed through on a spe
cial train.

New York, April 2O.-Washington
+. Conner says pledges enough are
already secured to make it certain
there will be no difficulty in obtaining,
in the case of an outbreak of HOSTILE
ties with Spain, the required sum of
100000 for the equipment of a Wall
street regiment of 1000 men. No Of
ficers have been selected for the pro-
.jected regiment, he added, but a well.
known military man has consented to
become it's colonel if it should be de-
sired.
From other ources it was learned
the project originated with either
Conner or Theodore Meyers and on be-
ing preached on The floor of the stock
exchange ives received with enthusi-
asm by the brokers, who Immediately
pledged it their support. The regi-
ment will comprise men not affiliated
with the stock exchange as well as ex-
change members and their employees.
Many priyates and not a few officers of
regiments of the national guard who
are engaged in business in and near
the street are among those who have
already sent to Conner or Meyers their
application for enlistment. AS they
r to enter the service of the United
States as volunteers they feel they can
consult their own preferences as to
the organization with which they shall
affiliate as such volunteers. Many
banks have in their employ from one
to half a dozen members of the ma
tional guard, and several bank presi-
dents have said that if those employees
or others should join the regiment
their places will be kept for them and
their salaries would continue during
their absence in the field.

STATE FINANCES
OF SOUTH DAk0Tk
treasurer Phillips Says the State
Was Never in a Better
Condition.
TAXES BEING PAID PROMPTLY
a I.arse Amount OF Money La the
Different Funds With Which
20 Pay Outstanding
Bonds.

Deadwood, April 2O.-State Treas
urer Is. G.. Phillips has returned from
Pierre for a short visit at his home in,
this city. In an interview in regard to
the states finances Mr.. Phillips said:
The state was never in q more pros
porous condition, generally, nor in an
easier condition as regards its finances,
than at h present time. This is dem
onstrated by the unusually large coli
lection for March and thus far for this
month. We have a very large amount
of money in the different funds which
1 will soon pay out for the redemption
Of bonds, distribute among the schools
and disburse for the ordinary current
expenses of the various departments
OF the institutions. The cash balance
on March 81 was $5l7, 539.15, and upon.
April IL it was S595,932. 90. OF the
amount on hand March 81 $16s, T62. 46
is the bond interest and sinking fund
to be used for the redemption of state
S per cent bonds before the LIST of July
this year. A portion of the Az per
cent bonds may also be redeemed. On
the 31st of March the general fund was
credited with $~l15,2OS.47 and the COM
mon school fund with $63,469.44, which
is to be distributed among the schools,
together with the other collections to
come in on June 1. A special sinking
fund is being established for the re-
demption of constitutional bonds due
in 1900. This issue amounts to $780,
900 and there is 500, 272.6o now in the
fund. For the redemption of the $o7,-
900 in bonds due in 1905 there is $16,-
314.59 now in that fund. The collec-
tions for taxes, interest on school
funds invested and from all other
sources for the month of March were
about $350,00o, which was unusually
large. During the months of May and
June n greater portion OF this vast
sum of money on hand will be dis
bursed. There has never before been
such a large amount of cash money on
hand at one time, which is due to the
extraordinarily excessive receipts of
the past two months, while the dis
bursting period has not arrived. South
Dakota's credit is gilt edge. Taxes are
being paid promptly and the state
debts are being wiped out very fast"

Mitchell, April 16.-The democratic
state central committee met here last
evening to select a place for holding
the state convention. About twenty
five counties were represented. Aber-
deem was selected as the place to hold
the state convention, on June %, at the

A resolution was introduced by Har-
ben of Scotland that an honest effort
be made to cooperate with the allied
silver forces for the election of state
officers this fall, and that an effort be
made to secure 4 good representation
of democrats on the state ticket, but
in the event that they were unable to
do SO the democrats would put up n
state ticket of their own.
The resolution was adopted unan-
imously and while there seemed to be
n spirit for fusion the committee did
not propose to be placed in the rear.
Messrs. Temple, Hughes and Barrett
presented resolutions on Cuban mat.
for not acting more promptly, which
were adopted.
A number of free silver republicans
met here last evening and issued q call
for u convention to meet at Aberdeen

viii Leave the ConRtry.
New York, April e0.-When the
Spanish line steannSsar Panama leaves.
for Havana and Mexican ports tomor.
row she will have on board about .
hundred and fifty Spanish residents
OF this city whose departure was ar
ranged by the Spanish consul general,
and ten thousand barrels of provisions
for the Spanish army in Cuba. These
include grain, -four, corn, beans, pork.
bacon, ham, lard and butter. Of 5000
Spaniards in this city only a hundred
and fifty will leave on the Panama.
They are principally those who have
no business ties here and can leave
without sacrifice. A great majority
of the Spanish residents will remain.
Even of hostilities are declared they
feel assured of their safety in this city.
Those who wish to leave but have no
means to pay for the passage will be
transported free of charge. All those
sailing tomorrow will be landed in Ha-
vana but some may be sent later to
Puerto Rico.
The Ward line steamship Seneca will
also leave for Havana and Mexican
ports tomorrow. She will have on
board a quantity of supplies, believed
to be for the Spanish army. The Brit
ish steamship Aloerdno which had
been chartered by the line will sail for
southern ports of Cuba by the way Of
Nassau Thursday. Included in her car
go will be $50 tons of jerked beef
which was brought here from Monte
yido on the Merida April 8. 1t is said
ut the Office Of the line that the ship
ment of supplies to Cuba for5the relief
fund has been abandoned as there is
NO one in Havana to receive the sup
plies since the departure Of Consul
General Lee. Nothing is known at the
Office concerning the rumors that the
government would stop sending pro-
visions to Cuba from this country and
that the Red Cross society had ar
ranged for chartering a Ward line yes,
sci to carry supplies to the
trados.

Maine is again TO enter the list OF
copper mining states. The deposits,
which are numerous and valuable,
were worked more than twenty-five
years ago, but a sudden and great de-
cline in the price of copper made them
Improbable; improved and cheapened
method Of production is the cause OF
resumption of work. Copper is a metal
with which the market is never over
stocked; although consumption in.
creases rapidly from year to year, u
good copper mine is more valuable
than a gold mine.
