trious Daniel Pratt, G. A. T.; and he is
about to start on another ten-thousand-
mile trip. 1t is the boast OF his friends
that he has made more speeches to more
people and shaken more hands than any
other man than now is or ever was in
the world; and still his voice is unworn,
and his digestion is unimpaired, in spite
of dollar dinners.
He believes in the Chicago platform
and in any additions to it that may come
handy. He is for congenial annexation,
but finds the Philippines uncongenial.
He holds that the Filipinos are capable
of self-government, but not capable
enough to belong to the United States.
Militarism makes him sad, although he
has been warrior bold. He trembles
at trusts and will keep on shaking as
long as they are able to produce goose
flesh in ANYBODY else, and not one mo-
meut longer. He has fits at the word
''imperiaism," but what and where
siimperialism" is, so far as the United
States are concerned, nobody has been
able to find. 1t is good enough Nor
gan for the Colonel, and that is all.
Col. Bryan has called on Moses to

LARGE AMOUNT DUE IN TAXES
Delinquents Owe the City se' en-
Thousand Dollars.

In submitting the quarterly report
of the city clerk and treasurer, publish
ed yesterday, the finance committee of
council make the statement that the
back taxes of delinquent taxpayers
amount to about seven thousand dol
lars, and recommend that City Marshal
Feagin proceed to collect the same.
This would be hurculean task, no
doubt, but the greater portion of it can
be collected and Marshal Feagin will
proceed as directed. It is not known
whether all this amount is due for last
years taxes, or includes other years as
we'll. This deficiency represents about
twenty percent of the entire amount
usually collected for municipal ex-
penses.

QUIET FOLLOWS THE
KILLING OF CHARLES
Officers Have the Situation
Well In Hand.
NEGROES LEAVE THE CITY

Indiscriminate Shooting of the Past
Few Days Causes Many 20 Seek
Homes EIsewhere-SIayer of Police
man Day Positively Identified.
New ORLEANS, July 28.-Contrary to
expectations the night passed with lit
tie disorder. The prompt action Of the
mayor in distributing squads of men
through the city and the fact that
Charles is dead seems to have had a
good effect in quieting the populace.
The negroes are apparently glad that
Charles is dead.
Mayor Capdevielle, who is worn out
by his long struggle, said thathe thought
it was unlikely that there would be any
further violence.
Much feeling Is expressed against the
police board and there is some talk of
its removal and q reorganization Of the
police force.
With the death Of the negro Charles
the situation here has been vastly i'm
proved and there has been no occasion
to send the militia to any scene of dis
turbance. The troops are being kept in
their armories, but Mayor Capdevielle
has stationed men in every quarter of
the city IN order that he may be quickly
advised Of any further trouble
Arrangements are being made for the
funeral Of the victims Of yesterday s
tragedy and details of police will be
sent to accompany each in order that
no disturbances may attend them.
Whatever doubt there may have been
as to the identity of the negro Charles
has been removed. At 4 o'clock when
the mobs had dispersed the police went
to the parish prison and got Leonard
Pierson, Charles pal, on the evening
that Mora was wounded, and carried
him to the morgue. Pierson, without
any hesitancy, declared that the dead
man was the desperado.
Coroner Richard held post mortem
examination on the body of Charles. He
found that the negro had been shot 48
times, besides having been badly beaten.
Several men have claimed the credit Of
having killed Charles. Men who were
present at the time that Charles was at
tempting to make his escape from the
burning building said that Private An
derson and DIR. @. A. Noiret, q young
medical student, had done the actual
killing.
Thousands of negroes have emigrated
from the city.
