Chinese Minister Discussed Manchuriau
Matters With Secretary.
Washington, May 6.-The Chinese
minister called upon Secretary Hay at
the state department and discussed the
Manchurian situation with him. There
is good reason to believe that the nego.
tiations have taken a more favorable
turn, and that the Russian coup, which
was expected, has either been abandon.
ed or Indefinitely postponed. 1t is I'M

on the part of the Russian government.
Certain Inquiries were addressed by Nj.
Plancon, the Russian charge at Pekin,
to the Chinese government respecting
the Chinese purpose as to Manchuria..
The Russians hold that these were err
roneously taken for a set of demands.
AS matter of fact, they were nothing
but inquiries, and the Russian govern
ment has decided to carry out its orig.
inal programme for the evacuation OF

TN SPECIAL SESSIOH.
A Consolidation Of Two Departments
Of the City.

1t special session Of he city cOun-
Gil held Friday night the street ~prink-
ling and cleaning department., recently
created at the suggestion of the mayor,
was, on the recommendation OF the same
official, consolidated with he Improve
mcnt department. The street sprinkIing
and cleaning department was expert
mental, and since its creation it has be-
come manifest that economy and eff
cheney could be secured through the
consolidation of the authority necessary
to their operations. Under the revised
plan of operation the street commission
err will be held responsible for its man
agement and he is authorized to smplov
an assistant whose salary is fixed at So
per month.
1t may now be said that this street
sprinkling and cleaning should have
been operated under the authority of the
street commissioner, but there IS s1oth-
ing SO easy as to point out mistakes
which have become visibly apparent %
is always unfortunate that. according to
the old negro's saw: Our 90 sighs is
not SO good as the ind sight" But in
this progressive age we live to learn and
to improve. This move by the council is
in the right direction and will be ap-
proved by the people.

by the Supreme Court, that the Constr
tuition does not follow the flag, the white
people of Louisiana might if such an
outrageous doctrine had been in exist
ence have been kept forever in bond
age and virtual slavery under military
rule. But the people of Louisiana, under
this treaty, were expressly declared to
be entitled to all the rights, advantages
and immunities of citizens, and shall be
so protected and maintained forever.
The centennial of that most important
treaty will be celebrated today in this

the territory was made, and there will
also be d celebration in St. Louis, the
largest city in the limits of the vast ter
ritory that was first known as Louis

There is controversy as to just what
territory was embraced IN the CeSS1On,.
On one side it is held that Louisiana
Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota,
Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Kansas
Nebraska the two Dakotas, Montana,
wyoming and part of Colorado, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon are included
in the grant. On the other hand, it is
claimed that the cession did not extend
beyond the Rocky Mountains
But however all this may be, the
United States thus gained from France
a grand imperial domain which is enor-
me .sly rich in resources and will have
a. vast deal to do in shaping the policy
of the great Republic, and, in common
with the other states, exercising world
wide influence Without the cession of
Louisiana a foreign power would have
owned and held the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi river, and would have cut the
Union off from the Pacific ocean. Today
the great Republic commands both and
enjoys vast power therefrom

His life's record is clean and clear. He
was man, and in every sphere was
guided by principle and duty As others,
when a young man he enlisted in the
service of Our beloved Southland. and
when the hands of the vile usurper, in
the days of reconstruction, had tar
nished the fair name of Louisiana, he
as others, was at the 'front.' in the con-
tention of right against might, The pow
er of the Federal government, which
finally terminated in the triumph of law
and order and the restoration of the
rule of intelligence and white suprem-
acy. While he had been honored with
political recognition, and as a good citi
zen was always active in every move
ment having a tendency to advance the
material interests and the progress of
his section and his State, his life work
was devoted to agricultural pursuits.
He was the father of large family and
as a husband and father he was indul-
gent, kind and affectionate, exemplary
in his devotion to his loved ones In
his friendship he was true and always
considerable But he is no more. y host
of his friends paid him the iass tribute
