New orleans Carnival closed.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 25.-The car
nival closed last night in a blaze of
glory. In point OF attendance of stran-
gers it has been the most successful ev-
er held, while the pageants were on a
scale of great artistic splendor. The
closing pageant was by the Mystic
Krewe of Comus. It's title was "a Leaf
From the Mahabarata," and 1t illus
trated In twenty superb floats the
great epic poem of the Hindoos. The
eliminating society event of the sea-
son was the ball of Comus at the
French opera. The curtain rose upon a
picturesque tableau revealing Comus
on a throne OF light and the masked
Krewe grouped on either side. Comus
chose for his queen Miss Myrtle Stauf-
fer. Miss Alice Roosevelt was present
and again was the object of special at
tention. Admiral and Mrs. Schley and

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Colonel
Theodore A. Bingham, superintendent
Of public buildings and grounds, has
concluded an exhaustive investigation
into the statement recently published
widely throughout the country that
sideboard presented to Mrs. Lucy
Webb Hayes while she was mistress OF
the White House by women Of the w.
C. r. u. has passed into the hands of
Washington saloonist. The statement
was made that the sideboard was pre-
scented to Mrs. Hayes out of regard for
her determination not to permit wine
TO be served at White House dinners.
Colonel Bingham's investigation dis
closes clearly the fact that the pub
lished statements practically have no
foundation in fact. So far as the rec
ortis and a recent voJuminous CORE
spondence with interested parties so
no such sideboard ever was presented
to Mrs. Hayes by members Of the w. G.
T. u, by any other body of women or
by any individuals.
Two sideboards from the White
House were recently sold at auction.
The offer of these, as well as of other
articles from the White House, was
made in accordance with law. The in
vestigation has developed the fact that
the one which was purchased by sa
loonist was bought for the White House
during the incumbency as president of
General Arthur. The other was bought
for use in the mansion at an earlier
date. Where 1t now is cannot be as
certained:
With respect to the criticism that the
portraits of former mistresses of the
White House were hung in the .cellar"
Of the mansion, it is stated by the
same authority that the portraits are
in the corridor on which is the presi-
dents private Office, on which there
are several guest chambers through
which all guests of the president have
to pass, and that the portrait of Mrs.
Roosevelt is hung directly opposite to
that Of Mrs. Hayes.

ITHACA, N. Y, Feb. 25-Dr. Daniel
Lewis, state commissioner Of health,
has arrived here to investigate the ty-
phoid situation. He spent the day con-
ferring with the city and university
authorities and at night addressed n
mass meeting of citizens. DR.. Lewis
said that an examination at Albany Of
samples Of Ithaca water had shown it
to be contaminated and that he be-
lieved the water was the specific cause
OF the present epidemic. He said that
his investigation here showed that the
situation was not as serious as was
generally supposed. DE. Lewis an
nounced that the state board of health
would Immediately promulgate rules
for the protection of the watershed

was no reason why the present water

Eenate Democrats Reject the Compro-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The In
Gianola (Miss.) postofice case occupied
The major portion of the time of the
senate yesterday. Mr., Tillman spoke
Tor three hours in continuation of his
remarks begun on Monday on the race
question and was followed by Mr. Car
mack OF Tennessee.
During the morning hour several bills
and resolutions were passed.
The Democrats in caucus rejected
che compromise statehood proposition
made by the Republican leaders. A
Democratic senator who is a member
Nf the committee on territories on be-
ing asked for a statement of the rea-
sons for the rejection wrote the follow
Ing which, after submitting to several
OF his colleagues, he gave out for pub
lication:
THE Democratic caucus rejected the
proposed compromise statehood bill for
the following reasons: When Arizona
and New Mexico were made terrific
ries, their areas were established for
ultimate statehood purposes, and all
the interests and expectations of the
people OF the two territories have been
In anticipation OF the two states.
1T would be gross injustice to the
people of both to join them in one
state. From east to west as railroads
must be built it would be LOO miles
across them. The proposed state would
be as large as Texas, and Texas is too
large for It's convenient government.
THE people OF Arizona are unani-
mously opposed to consolidation with
New Mexico, and the people of both
these territories should be consulted.
1.-THE Democrats have stood for the
statehood bill as it passed the house.
They believe that each is entitled to
statehood, and they have stood Loyalty
by the Republican minority in their
efforts TO give them statehood But
they will not infict the injustice that
probably cannot be repaired Of forcing
the people of the two territories into
a state so large that it would forever
continue a burden they should not
bear
After the adjournment of the caucus
the Democratic members OF the COM
nittee on postofices met the Repub-
lican members of that committee who
have been friendly to statehood They
decided to ask the chairmen of the
two committees on posto1ices and
agriculture to withdraw the statehood
riders which the committees have
placed on two appropriation bills.
They also decided to continue the fight
for the omnibus bill as 1t came from
the house without amendment, but not
to antagonize appropriation bills or
executive business with it.
The Republicans have decided to pre-
sent their compromise bill to the sem
ate.
The indications are very strong that
the question will receive very little II
any more consideration during the SEES.
