Sewerage or NOT

NEW ORLEANS. LA, June 5.-One of
the most important elections ever held
here will be that of tomorrow. 1t will
decide whether New Orleans is to have
modern sewerage and drainage. increas-
ing the barriers against the Introduction
OF pestilential diseases. or whether the
proposed vast scheme of Improvement

The best of opinion is that the two-mill
tax will be voted by a large majority.
There are no apparent evidences of oppo-
sition, and unless there Is a surprise in
the silent vote. practically the entire vote
cast will be favorable. If drainage and
sewerage win. an effort will be made to
have the Governor convene a special ses-
sion of the Legislature, in order that the
proper authority may be obtained forthe
issue Of bonds. 90 be covered by the rev.
enues obtained from the two-mill tax,
which will run for forty-three years.

were no eye witnesses to the affair. they
had a dispute, during which Harvey fired
four times at Mayo, as there were three
bullet wounds around the latter's
heart and one I'm his stomach. Harvey
then went to the store, and stating that

DEWEY STARTS HOME TODAY,

Declines All Social Invitations.

HONGKONG, June 5.-Admiral Dewey
left the Peak Hotel and returned to the
Olympia yesterday. This morning he paid
farewell calls to the Governor, General
Gascoigne, and the commanders of The
warships in the harbor.
Admiral Dewey's health has certainly
been benefited by his residence at the
Peak. He has refused all social invita-
lions. and has taken a perfect rest. lie
appears somewhat haggard from the ef-
fects of the continual strain he has been
under and of the climate.
The Olympia will sail at o'clock TO-
morrow afternoon, but Admiral Dewey
will not give farewell dinner, nor Will
no accept one. 1t is hoped that the quiet
change and the voyage will quite restore
him to, health by the time he reaches
New York.
The details of the ports at which ne
will call are still undecided. but 1t is
nrobable that stops will be made at
eipanore and Colombo. The Admiral
seems anxious to avoid all display, and
n,erelv 20 seek rest. His officers and
crew are elated at the prospect OF return

Schurman, Of the Philippine Commission
The conference prepared some instruc-

Safe was called into the conference by
the President Is taken az an indication
that the subjects discussed were not
purely military in character. but related
in some manner to legal questions OF
policy connected with the Philippines
perhaps relating again to some fresh over
lures from the insurgents. The matter
is said to be In such shape that publica-
