nouncement of his desire the part OF the political
aspirant. For fight to secure nomination becomes

The popular belief as to the adeptness of the re-
publican warwick, who would now make himself king,

been published in few newspapers in full and para.

THE BRITISH SUPPLY DEPOT AT NEW ORLEANS

General Pearson the representative of the Beers
the United States may lay aside his lantern. He need
no longer play Dogenes. He has found the man for
whom he has been looking in Hon w. w. Heard, the
governor OF Louisiana.
It has long been notorious that the British have
been not only using the port of New Orleans as ship
ping point for mules and horses supplies Of war for
the South African but have actually established
regular supply station at Chalmette, few miles below
the city. This supply station recently inspected
by Major General Sir Richard Stewart X @. NJ G. and
K c. b. of the British army accompanied by his aide
de camp. Colonel Holland OF the Royal artillery Gen
Sral Stewart made secret OF his mission and before
going to New Orleans made sojourns in New York
and Washington.
Now, General Pearson the Boer representative has
not been idle. Like a true burgher his hands have
been itching for British supplies. He declared pub
ucly that II given permission by the United States au
lhorites, he would lead force of armed men and At
tack the British camp at New Orleans But first he
proposed to exhaust all peaceful measures and applied
