A PECULIAR SUIT
Before Judge Bienvenu Grows
Out of an Effort to Abolish the
''LaGniappe" Custom.

number of merchants doing
business near the Southern Pacific
station entered into an agreement
some time ago to abolish the time
honored custom of giving ola
gniappe." In order to make the
agreement binding upon all parties,
it was stipulated that any violation
of its terms would be punished by
the payment of $40, the amount to
be divided among the other parties.
In accordance with the provisions
of the compact the little boy who
made his purchases about the de-
pot felt that one of his dearest priv
ileges had been ruthlessly taken
from him by one of those remorse-
less trusts which had even dared to
trample upon a sacred and lnalien-
able right Of the American youth.
The 'lagniappe trust" worked
the small boy had hardly surren-
dered his inestimable right of hold
ing up the grocery man when 1t was
whispered on the avenue that AIcide
Naome, one of the trust magnates,
did not adhere to the conditions Of
the agreement.
Last Monday a suit was filed in
Judge Bienvenu's court charging
Naome with a violation of the COM
pact and suing for the payment of
the penalty of $40. The case has
been fixed for trial tomorrow. The
result is awaited with much interest.
by the merchants who
would welcome means of getting
rid of the lagniappe custom which
they consider great nuisance.

"Dear Sir--We have your valued
favor of the 25th instant, and note
that Mr.. Baker, your editor and
manager, would like some special
information on the subject of a new
paper factory to be started in Crow
ley.
'rhe facts are.that we have la
bored long and earnestly to. secure
the location of such an enterprise
in our city, approaching the bene-
fits that would accrue to our rice
growers If they were placed in a
position where they could dispose
of the thousands of tons of straw
that are annually burned up on
these prairies. To this end we
have, on several occasions, tried to
interest parties In the matter. At
one time we baled a carload of this
straw, sending it to Dayton, O., for
experimental purposes, the results
of which were extremely satisfac-
tory, but on account of lack of
capital, up to the present time, we
have been unable to secure the
coveted price, We have now at
our command about 100000 of
Eastern money to carry on the
work; our people here will take
$4,000 worth OF the stock. 1t is
to organize a stock
and build a plant that will
consume fifty tons of rice straw per
day, makeup in various kinds of
paper, including print and book
paper as well as wrapping and blot
Ting paper. We have every assur-
ance in the world from some of the
best expert paper makers in Amer
ca that the plant as we have out
lined it, will be successful. 1t has
been thoroughly investigated by
Eastern parties, and the men who
are putting their money into it are

CHAFFEE AND HALDERSEB
The General Gables a Report on
His Protest Against Looting.
Evidence That Some Very Plain Ian
guHEc Was USed-The Incident
Likely te Gene Up again

The War Department has received by
cable from Major General Chaffee. gen
eral statement of his protest to Field Mar
shal von Waldersee against the looting Of
the Imperial Palace in Pekin by allied
troops. While the text Of his note to the
German commander vas not transmitted
by General Chaffes. lis statement Of its
contents is full enough to justify The as
sertion in press dispatches from abroad
that some very plain language was used.
In making his protest General Chaffee
said, according to his teIegraphie report,
that the looting had not been done by the
troops who had shared in the sacrifices
and hsrdships OF the campaign for the re-
lief of the legations. but by those troops
who came after
This was presumably construed by Count
Won WaIdevsee as a slap at the German
contingent. most of which reached Pekin
after the city had been taken. In some
official quarters there is feeling that
the language used by General ChEree
was somewhat too brusque. but the Gov
ernment endorses his action in protest
ing against Iooting. More viii probably
be heard Of the incident. as 1t brings up
the question Of the relations Of the Ameri-
can troops to the allies as a whole The
present American force in China consists
merely OF a legation guard. which has no
connection with the allied forces.

Mr.. Payne explained that when the origi-
nai War Revenue bill was presented to the
House. IL 1898, the Committee On Ways
and Means estimated that the bill would,
in the aggregate yield from $50, ,0GG, 0O0 10

The actual additional annual revenues

1900 $1G5. .3T4 227- 80
Mr.. Payne said that while the war for
which these additional taxes were levied
IS ended, the train OF extraordinary ex-
penditures has not terminated with the
close of actual hostilities Il was still
necessary to maintain an army Of 1G6. 600
men until law and order are fully re-
stored IN the American possessions. The
Committee on Ways and Means, he said
would like to have found it feasible to
remove ali war taxes, but It could not
see its way clear TO do this.
