Louisiana Authorities Are Expected to
Take Their Cue from the Course
Pursued by Roosevelt.

Washington, May 15.-As the president

Crowder has decided that he can not in

authorities will seek to pake any issue in
the Federal courts by undertaking 10 do

POLICY OF MCBRIDE
Washington's New Governor Scorns
the Railway Influence.
A FIT COLLEAGUE OF VAN SAINT
Buys His own Tickets and Believes
in Party Supremacy-The
SenatOrship.

Special to The Journal
Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 4.-The irony OF
fate which removed by death demo-
cratic governor, and places at the head
of state affairs republican successor,
aire candidate, has split the party in this
caused much speculation.
Governor Rogers was unique in having
been reelected to second term, when
everyone else on his party ticket went
down to overwhelming defeat. Now that
he is dead, his friends and enemies are
inclined to say nothing but good Of him.
ceeds to the goyernorship,, was an ar
dent advocate and supporter of State
Senator Preston, the father of the rail-
way commission bill. The governor buys
5000 mile mileage tickets, and during his
official career has never accepted passes
or favors from the railroads. He be-
lieveS absolutely in the effectiveness OF
railway commissions. There is nothing
of the mugwump about him, and he will
wipe the appointive slate of the late gov
ernor entirely clean. $50
1t is expected that in his opposition to
the Northern Securities company, Cover
nor Mcbride will be even more pro-
nounced than is Governor Van SAINT, of
Minnesota. He has no sympathy with the
ambitions of ex-senator Wilson, nor will
he do anything to further the candidacy OF
the banker candidate, Levi Ankeny.
Governor Mcbride will probably pro-
mote the candidacy of State Senator
Preston, the anti-railway candidate, il he
does not take q hand In the manipulations

A NEW LIGHT
Of a Gas and Electricity
Makes 1t.
NeaU Yor7, Sum Special Sevrtoe

Makes 1t.
.Ne.V YorR, S,I3. Special Sevrtce
New York, Jan. 4.-Over the entrance
to the house Of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, at u West Thir-
ty-first street, there hung last night
what looked like column of cold, blue
white light, about four inches in diam
eter, and about four feet high. 1t gave
brilliant illumination to the street for
nearly half block. Inside the house the
auditorium was lighted by five similar
lights, but of lesser diameter, and the
light Of the hall was almost like sun
light. Beneath these lights, which looked
like big candles sat several hundred
members of the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers, to listen to the
reading of a paper on Electrical Gas
Lamps and Gas Electrical Resistance
Phenomena" by the young inventor Of the
lamps, Peter Cooper Hewitt, son Of Abram
S. Hewitt. E.~ ....
Mr.. Hewitt's lamp consists simply of a
glass tube, with bulb at one end, into
which he introduces the gas generated
from mercury. The tubes, when filled.
are connected with the ordinary electric
power in any buildings and the current
turned on. The gas acts as. the conductor.
and as soon as the switch is turned, the
tube is flooded with light.
