The latest advces to the State De-

further details respecting the amount
Of the indemnities claimed from China
By the powers. Is appears that these
claims have been much exaggerated in
some statements, though The sum
total is still far in excess Of the
amount of money it 10 believed that
China can raise. 1t is the belief Of
the State Department that the total
claims should not be allowed to exceed
$3.50, 900, 900 or 600, 10000

MR.. CAFFERY OPPOSED TO
THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.

Two weeks ago The Gazette ex-
pressed the opinion that Senator
Caffery would be found among the
opponents of the ship subsidy fraud.
The views of Mr.. Caffery relative to
this measure had not been made
public, yet we ventured the opinion
that the senator would surely oppose
Hanna's scheme. We are pleased
to state that we were not mistaken,
as is shown by the following charac-
teristic expression from Senator CAT
ferv. Speaking to the Washington
correspondent of the Times Demo-
crat, the senator said:
ssI am unalterably opposed to- the ship
subsidy bill, and am putting in my leisure
hours evenings in collecting data of which
intend to make use in a speech in opposition
to the measure when it comes up for consid-
Grafton in the senate. 1t is, in my opinion,
an iniquitous bill, which should be assailed
and shown up, and I will spare no effort to
contribute to it's defeat if it is possible to
do SO.'

VIII Plant Rice.

Messrs. Overton Cade and H.
Theall, of Royville, were in La
fayette this week. Mr.. Cade in
formed The Gazette that he and his
son, Smedes, are going to plant
sever al hundred acres of rice this
year. They will use wells to irri-
gate theland. The Messrs. Cade
are the first in Lafayette to engage
extensively in the cultivation of rice
and it is to be hoped that they Will
make a success Of it. Diversity of
crops lnsures the prosperity Of any
country, because, while one or two
crops may fail, 1t. is not probable
that all will prove unsuccessful.
That the soil of this parish is
adapted to rice culture is reason
ably certain, though it has not yet
been given a fair trial. Should the
Messrs. Cade succeed in this un-
dertaking it is safe to say that
others in this parish will follow their
example. The use of wells as a
means of irrigation enables farmers
to plant rice IN sections where
there are no canals to furnish the
water.

PACKAGE OF MONEY
Disappears MysteriOusly-PaS
age Contained Nearly Two
Thousand Dollars.

The officials of the Southern Pacific Rail
road and of the Wells-Fargo Express Com
pany are greatly puzzled over the disappear
ance of package of money containing
$1,000, which was shipped from Lafayette
on January II. The news of the mysterious
affair reached New Orleans Immediately, but
the railroad men and the express officials kept
the matter very quiet, and only yesterday did
the story leak out.
Up to date the investigation, which is bein &
made for the purpose of trying to trace the
missing package, has been conducted by the
express officials, the railroad is safe.
guarded by the receipt of the express mes
senger to whom the agent at Lafayette turned
over the package. Several of the Wells-F Fargo
people, including Assistant Superintendent
Mckenzie, whose headquarters are in Hous-
ton, and Auditor OFT, have personally visited
Lafayette and made Investigations from every
standpoint, but so far they have cleaned no
facts definite enough to warrant action. Mr..
Mckenzie, with Auditor OFT, was in New
Orleans yesterday, and three-cornered con-
ference was held with J. c. Stuart, the agent
in this city, upon the subject.
B. ]. Pellerin is the agent at Lafayette of
both the Southern Pacific and the Wells
Fargo Company. On January II he had
four packages of money for New Orleans,
including the package which disappeared.
This package contained $1,000, to be shipped
to New Orleans for account of the railroad.
He delivered them to Messenger Page, of the
Wells-Fargo COMPANY, and Page duly re-
ceipted for them. When the train on which
Page was running reached Iberia, twenty
miles this side of Lafayette, Page wired back
to Pellerin that he could only find three pack
ages, while the bill called for four. Accord
ing to Pages story, develo ped by the in
vestigation, he discovered that there were
only three packages of money soon after
leaving Lafayette. He claims that only three
packages were delivered to him. Agent Pei
lerin, however, holds Pages receipt for four
packages, the responsibility for the loss
seems to rest on the express company.
Ever since the loss of the package the
special agents of the express company have
been working day and night to try and clear
up the mystery surrounding the case. The
Southern Pacific officials have the most i'm
plicit confidence in Peilerin, and Page
joys the confidence of the WELSH argo Off
cials. A solution of the affair is eagerly
awaited.-New Orleans Picayune.
1t Is needless to say that the
many friends of Mr.. Pellerin in La
fayette have not the least doubt of
his innocence in this matter and
accept his version of the affair. Mr..
Pellerin has been the railroad com
pany's agent at this place for some
time and it is but doing him simple
Justice to say that his manner of
conducting the business of the com
pany has given general satisfaction
The Gazette hopes that the final
outcome of the investigation will
solve the mystery and that no un-
deserved reflection will rest upon
the good name Of any one.

s.Old Etienne," aged 100 years,

also learn from good authority that
the carpenter who built the house
is still living on Johnson's Bayou
anG that his name is Jean Baptiste

THE INSTITUTE BUILDING
Nearing COmpletiOn-Mr. ROy's
and Other Homes to Add
to the Appearance Of
the Locality.

Contractor A. E. Mouton is un-
usually happy these days. After
many months of constant work he
is on the eve of seeing the compile
ton of the main building of t. In
dustrial Institute. A few more days
and the elegant and spacious struc-
ture will be finished. Aside from
its great architectural beauty, this
building has many exceptional ad-
vantages possessed by few others in
the country. 1t is thoroughly mod
ern in every respect, and now that it
is about completed, one may have
an idea of how well it was planned.
That the plan was Conscientiously
executed there seems to be no doubt
All, the president, building commit
tee, architect, contractor and every
body else connected with it, tried to
give the State good job, and the
building itself is the best evidence of
the success of their efforts. 1t is a
grand structure which will stand tor
ages as an eloquent monument to- the
intelligence and skill of the builders
and to that enlightened spirit Of
progress which the people of Lafay-
cite displayed in their efforts TO have
the institution located here
The cost of the building is about
$4,000. In this are included few
extra improvements not stipulated
in the original contract, amounting
to little over $4,000.
AS soon as practica BILE the dormi-
tory and other buildings will be
erected, preparatory to the opening
of the first term next Septemb-r.
An engraver is working on the
cornerstone. The lettering origin
ally made on the stone was not sat-

The residence of Mr.. J. A. Roy
near the institute is very handsome
and commodious structure, and adds
greatly to the appearance of the sur
roundlngs. The building is the work
of Contractor Ross.
We are informed that Dr. Moss
and other citizens of the town intend
to build fine homes in the neighbor-
hood.
Mr.. Geo. K. Bradford, of Ravne,
was at work during the week survey
ing Mr.. Girard's land, with a view
of laying it out in lots. We under
stand that 1t IS Mr.. Girard's inten-
tion to sell these lots.
Surveyor Charles S. Babin has

If the landowners will exert them
