IN VARIOUS PLACES.

The taste for open-air theatrical per-
formances is by no means confined to
England. The town OF Rezieis. in the
south OF France, has just constructed
huge new arena, after the model OF
those of ancient times. and. to add to
the attractions, it has been decided to
install in it an open-air theater. The
theater Is to be inaugurated by per-
Torrance Of a play the composition OF
which has been inspired by the old
Greek tragedies. on the subject OF De-
janira. wife of Hercules. The words
are by NJ. Gallett. the music by Saint
Saeus.
Norway seems to be the land OF jour
nalists. The state there provides them
with all kinds Of special facilities.
Lately NJ. Loveland the minister OF
public works. has accorded q fresh
privilege to the press in the shape of
two Scholarships worth $3.50 each, Tor
Journalists who wish to go abroad to
study. The minister has also decided
tina: each Of the $50 Norwegian news
papers shall in future have free
ticket over all the state railways The
ticket can be used only for journeys
connected With the affairs CT b news
paper. and the press association is
bound 10 see that this condition is
observed.
Great progress is being made a: the
present time with the new Paris Opera
ComiQEe, which Is bs.i!t On the site OF
the theater burned down eleven years
ago. Already the shell of the building
is assuming a finished appearance. and
the interior will proba bly, be completed
in time for the opening on Oct. Is. In
fact. the only thing which now remains
to be done is the fixing of the sculp-
tural and pictorial decoration, which Is
now ready in the studios OF the artists
charged to execute it. NJ. Benjamin
Constant is putting the finishing
touches to his painting for the ceiling:
the "avent-foyer" will receive the can
vases Of NJ Joseph Blanc and the
foyer" those of NJ. Albert Maignan.
The mural paintings for the "petis foy-
ers" will be by NM. Gervex. Gustave
Toudouze and Raphael Collin. The dec
grafton OF the two principal staircases
will be by NM. Francois Flamerg and
Luc-Olivicr Marson.

TIE DUTY or DEM0cRA rs.

On the 9Th Of November the
voters of this parish will be called
upon to vote for congressman and
a railroad commissioner. We have
no doubt that the Democrats Of
Lafayette will do their duty on that
day as they have always done in the
past. Because the candidacy of the
Republican nominee for congress is
not seriously considered is no reason
why Democrats should refrain from
voting. There is no sort Of doubt
that Mr.. Broussard will carry this
parish, but his majority should be
of such proportions that the scat
tered remnants OF Republication
which vet mournfully linger on this
rock-ribbed Democratic soil will be
swept away like chaff before the
storm.
Messrs. B1cussard and Sims are
the unanimous choice of the Democ-
racy and are entitled to every
Democratic vote which, we are sat
is6ed, they will receive.
Mr. Broussard is well-known by
every voter in this Parish. Mr..
Sims, the party's nominee for rail
road commissioner, who has no Sc
rious opposition, is stranger to
most of the people of this parish,
but his nomination by the Baton
Rouge convention will be accepted
by all good Democrats. proof Of
his fitness for the very important
position to which he aspires.

a NIerlted Tribute.

The following tribute, paid to
Gen. Will H. Tunnard by the Lake
Charles Press, is endorsed by The
Gazette and, we believe, by every
other Democratic paper in Louis
lana:
Through the kindness Of DR.. w.
A Knapp and the Craftsmanship Of
colored man, Gen. Tunnard, the
Pee Gee Inspector who has been here
for several days, was put across
the lake last night in a skif where
a special train, sent him from
Shreveport, awaited him. He was
called home on account Of the
dangerous illness of daughter.
The general, while here renewed
old friendships and gained host
of new ones.
1t is sad reflection on the graft
tude of people and parties to see
this talented gentleman, who has
spent the best part of his life de-
Tending the principles of the Dem
cratic party and the honor of the
people Of his State. forced to en-
danger his life and health in a po-
sition SO trying and dangerous as
health inspector Oh night trains,
and that too with an invalid wife,
blind and helpless, whose only
plea can be derived from family
companionship. The Democrats Of
Louisiana should feel it sacred
duty to give this champion of their
principles, grown gray in their SER
vice without reward, and compe-
tent to creditably fill any Office in
the state, position which would,
at Leaf in part, reward him for the
'slabor of love" which has con-
sumed the better portion of his life.
Gratuitous honors have been show
cred upon Gen. Tunnard in pro-
fusion. but his innate modesty has
prevented that share Of material
recognition which his accomplish
ments justly ensitle him to. The
people of North Louisiana in par
ticular should feel grateful to him.
for during his incumbency as eli
tor-in-c chief of the Shreveport Times,
the leading daily newspaper in that
section, his pen was always welded
in their interest and defence, and no
holder or drawer champion ever es-
poused a cause. Gen. Tunnard is
ajor-general of the U. G. v. of
Louisiana: he is president of the
Louisiana Press Association. They
have recognized his ability and
sterling worth. Now let these two
great factors join issues and pres
ent his claims to material recogni-
ton before the people.

The Morgan City Review makes
the ominous prediction that some
day William, Pitt kellogg will be
governor of Cuba. If he ever does
it isNsafe to say that the Cubans will
be sincerely sorry, that they were

Between Spanish tyranny and Car

ably better.

ONE DETIES A THOUSAND
INF URIATED Mf GRO. SOL IERS' ATTEMPT A
LYNCHlNG.
Marsha R, an'and Squad Of Men Wrest their
Prey from Them, and Ryan Holds
Them at Bay.

Atlanta. Ga, August IA serious riot
was narrowly averted this afternoon ar
Fort Mcpherson and but for the prompt
arrival of the corporal of the guard and
Il large squad of men, together with the
assistance of Marshal Ryan. of Oakland,
one man would in all probability have
been lynched by an Infatuated mob of
soldiers. A fight took place between n
negro by the name of McGinnis and one
of the negro soldiers stationed at the
post in which the latter was dangerously
if not fatally cut.
After the cutting. a crowd of negro sol
diers made for McGinnis, who immediate
iy fled to Il house and crawled under
Il bed to escape the mob that was in
pursuit
i. The crowd. which by THIS time num-
bcred nearly Il thousand, surrounded the
house. a number of the soldiers entered
and discovering McGinnis under the bed,
pulled him out and began beating him
with sticks and rocks. Lieutenant Hill,
with a large squad Of men, arrived on
the scene, and entering by way of win
dow. attempted to rescue the negro
from his captors. McGinnis who was
bleeding profusely from n score of
wounds. made Il dash for liberty. but was
met at the front door by Marshal Ryan
who caught the negro and held him.
When the crowd saw McGinnis on the
porch of the house. an effort was made
to take him from the Marshal and cries
of kill him." 'lynch him" We're heard
on every hand and for a time it looked
as though they would make good their
threat. Bricks, rocks. clubs and other
missiles were thrown by the mob at the
prisoner and those who had him in charge
and Marshal Ryan received a painful
blow on the right leg from flying brick
The crowd was pressing the Marshal and
those with him to such an extent that
it became necessary for him to draw his
revolver and with this he held the mob
at bay until reinforcements arrived from
the barracks.

INSURGENTS IN THE WAY.
But for Them Manila Would Surrender
at Once

London, August "A correspondent
Of the Times at Cavite under date of JULY
10Th. says:
THE arrival of General Merritt has
given a great stimulus to military ac-
tiyity, chiefly in Camp Dewey. where
General Green's brigade has been rein
forced by troops from Merritt's trans
port.
General Green, who directs the active
field operations, has established his head
quarters near the sea shore, under the
guns of the war ships.
The situation at the front is most
extraordinary. Each force is guarding
its own lines. but the insurgents are lit
tie better than an armed rabble. They
pass freely through the American camp
and mingle with the troons, but they
render no assistance and are. indeed.
rather hindrance to the operations. The
insurgent leaders are aggressively NJ
rogant and make no move toward recog-
nizing American authority.
1.-THE attitude of the insurgents is the
only difficulty in the way of an immedi-
ate settlement of the whole matter
1T is an oDen secret and / have in
formation confirming the report from the
best possible sourcest--that Manila IS
willing to surrender and may do so pro-
Vided assuranc is given that the inhabit-
ants will be protected from the insurgents

The Spaniards made no reply. In the

saw two masts and chimney, evidently
of a steamer sunk by the Spaniards to
block the passage.
The Dixie arrived at Ponce Saturday
evening. where she found the Columbia,
the Massachusetts, the Cincinnati, the
Gloucester and ten transports.
The armored cruiser New Orleans ar
rived here yesterday Sunday accom-

off the harbor, the New Orleans signall-
ing her not to enter, as the cruiser would
not be permitted to take her coal.
Later in the day the collier proceeded

THE EMBASSY'S STATEMENT.
Washington, ID. c.. August lat the
French Embassy the following author
lied statement was made today:
''When the French Ambassador went
on Saturday to the White House, he
went fully enabled to discuss, Mt the
Spanish Governments point of view, the
proposition of the Government of the
United States. These views of the Span
ish Government were received by NJ
Cambon subsequent to his first visit of
Tuesday to the President
The foregoing constitutes all that the
French Embassy would say with au-
thority on the subject, and it is the only
statement obtainable from an authorized
source, other than those Of an Anonymous
character, which will give an under
standing of the measure Of the Ambassa-
doris authority in representing the views
of Spain on the settlement of peace.
