The Round Bale Cotton Gin has
gwen the contract for the sinking OF
q we'll, necessary as a boiler supply,
to the Hart Well Co., of PLAGUE
mine, La. MIR. Hart arrived here on
last Thursday morning, by water
route on the steamboat Daniel and
started his work Of preparation at
once. In order to get the necessary
water supply with which to DO his
work, he had to partially dam some
Of the large bitches IN the vicinity
not enough however to cause any
serious trouble or injury to anyone
else. The work will be pushed TO
completion al once, Mr.. Hart promis-
ing the best character in results.
The sinking OF this well will be
watched with the keenest interes-
by many of our citizens. as the quail
lty of water procured may govern
the sinking of many other wells in
this neighborhood.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From our Regular Correspondent
The Chinese Government is
either throwing off the mask and
defying the powers or is making a
gigantic bluff. It's notice to the
powers that the foreign ministers
at Pekln could not be allowed to
send or receive cipher messages is
an acknowledgement that the
ministers are prisoners, held as
hostages, and instead of resulting
in stopping the march of the allied
army to Pekln, is likely to hurry it,
if any thing can conquer the inter-
national jealousies and chickering's
sufficiently to hurry it. The War
now knows that the press dis
patches announcing the starting
Of the army for Pekin, were pre-
mature. It also knows considerably
more about the situation at Taku
and at Tien Tsin, as it has receiv-
ed two long message from Gen.
Chaffee, which it was deemed in
advisable to make public.
Inview of the strong and aggres-
sive attitude this government has
taken in demanding it's treaty
rights in China, it becomes import
ant for everybody to know just
what those right are. First and

Mr.. Harry
Seipel Freed,
From His Long Confne-
ment in
The Parish Jail on We'd
nesday Last.
Granted Our Reporter an
Interview.

Mr.. Harry Seipel was liberated
from his long Imprisonment, last
ing almost year, on Wednesday
morning at about 9 O'clock.
At about 2:3O p. m. one Of our
reporters saw that gentleman
seated on the wooden settee,
corner of Main and Iberia streets,
and appr roacEing, shook hands
with him.
Mr.. Selpel looks well. He seemed
to be pleased to be enjoying the
fresh air, and the privilege to come
and go at his own sweet will.
During the course of the talk,
Mr.. Seipel said that very naturally
he was pleased to be at liberty.
That while in Jail he was treated
very well indeed, Sheriff Hender-
son, Deputy Points and Mr..
Frank Patin doing all they possi-
bly, could do under the circum-
stances to make his situation pleas
ant.
The fact that he was located in
the same cell as Mr.. MOrinas Du.

epilepsy and has attacks very fire.
quently, but at the same time Mr.
Seipel expressed himself as glad to
be with him at the moments when
the attacks came on as he could
render very material aid
This gentleman said he expects
to remain permanently in New
iberia and he may go in the loan
and collateral business, although
this is not yet determined upon.
He feels that New Iberia is the
place for him to locate and to live
down the trouble he has had here.
Undoubtedly, he said, great
injustice had been done him, but
he proposes to let that die. He
expects his mother and sister du
ring the latter part Of September.
His mother is now in India with
his father, who is in the petroleum
oil business, and she will come to
America during the next few
weeks. Persons here thought it
strange that his friends did not as
sist him in his trouble, but he did
not let them know anything of it.
Mr.. Seipel says he is feeling
very we'll and that his health was
good while in Jail, and he enjoyed
the meals sent him from the Eu-
reka House. He has made some
warm friends who have proved
friends indeed during his troubles.

Says Police Jury Can Col
lect from Delinquents.

There was not very much eXcit-
ing news about the court house
this week still there was some
little.
Both cases in which America
No > were plaintiffs were decided
in their favor, but will be carried
to the Appellate court.
The case attacking the constitu-
tiOnality of the per capita tax
was tired and submitted; Judge
Foster has it under advisemcnt.
In the Sheriff's office, Sheriff
Henderson said he had revoked
all the commissions of the road
tax collectors, appointed by the
police jury and deputized by him
at the request of that body. He
did this because, he said, he found
that some of them were favOring
some persons, hard on others and
were using the offices for political
effect. The Sheriff also said he
would collect all taxes from those
who came to his office to pay and
the police jury can attend to the
outside taxes themselves.
Five persons were arrested and
jailed on Thursday for refusing to
pay their road tax.
In the Assessors office the usual
routine work goes on. The rolls
for the 9TH ward are now being
made out.

The Steamer Daniel arrived

Thursday morning, just after mid
night, with the well boring appa-
ratus Of the Hart Well Co., on
board. She left the wharf at Plac-
quemine at 2 p. IN. on Wednesday,
came down Bayou Plaquemine,
through Grand Lake and up the
Teche, arriving here as above
stated after about a 10 hours run.
Could the boat have come up
through the route Of the proposed
CharentOn Canal she would have
had to travel less than half the
distance she did cover-thereby a
great saving in time.
The above is a great object les

may come into use before this
