LOUISIANA ELECTION
BLANCHARD TICKET MAKES CLEAN SWEEP.
Little. Interest Taken, the Lily Whites Making Contest Mere
 ly for Purpose of Maintain ing Their Organization.

New Orleans. April 19.-1n an unin- terestfng general election the Demo- crats to-day swept the State. electing their ticket headed by former Justice N. c. Blanchard for Governor, and practically a solid representation In both houses. of the Legislature.
 Former Mayor W. J. Behan, an ex- Confederate soldier and prominent su- gar planter. headed the opposition tick ct of Lily White Republicans. The regular Republicans put no ticket in the field and practically no negro votes were cast. The Lily Whites control the Federal offices here and their contest to-day was simply to maintain their organization.
 comparatively large vote was poll ed in New Orleans, giving Blanchard a majority estimated at 12,000. but there was great apathy in the State. except in a few fusion districts. Indi- cations point to a total vote of ap- proximately 50.000, with Blanchard's 8 majority conservatively estimated at 25,000. In the January primary, the Democrats boiled 72,000.
 The elo,tion was peaceable, the only exception thus far reported being at Gonzales. in Ascension parish, where Captain Sam Moore, prominent mer- chant and planter and leader of the Republicans, was instantly killed by Deputy Sheriff Ed Smith. Moore at- tempted to post dodgers containing pictures of two negroes holding minor positions under the Democratic admin istration. Smith interfered and shot Moore dead when the latter attempted to draw a weapon.
 The Legislature elected to-day will choose a United States Senator. Sem ator Murpry J. Foster having been nominated in the primary, will receive practically the solid vote of both houses
 The ticket elected to-day follows: Governor-N. c. Blanchard. Lieutenant Governor-Jared Y. San- ders.
 Secretary of State-John T. Michel. Attorney General-Walter Guion. Auditor-Martin Behrman. Treasurer-J. M. Smith. Superintendent of Public Education -J B. Aswell.

EIGHT DEAD IN WRECK.
Fast Passenger Train in Mexico Lnmns the Track

Mexico City. April 19.-The northbound fast passenger train No. 1, which left here last night, jumped the track about four kilometres north of Zacatecas today resulting in the death of eight passen- gers and the injury of many others.
 The train was bowling along at high rate of speed when a defective rail pre- cipitated the locomotive, the express and baggage cars, and the first, second and third class coaches down an embank- ment. totally demollshing them.
 The two Pullmans were the only cars which did not leave the track and those occupying them escaped injuries beyond a severe shaking up.
 It is impossible to secure a list of those who lost their lives in the wreck. but 1t is understood that among the dead are the Mexican fireman and the express messenger and the engineer. both Americans.
 The conductor of the train was seri- ously injured and others who sustained injuries more or less serious include those occupying the second and third class coaches. numbering between thirty-f1ve and forty passengers.
 Wrecking crews were sent out at once by the dispatchers office and traffic was not seriously delayed.

REPORTS ON THE CROPS.
Weekly Summary of the Weather
 Bureau,

"eehly summary or the weather
 Bureau.
 Washington, April 19.-The weather bu- reaus weekly summary of crop condi- tions is as follows.
 In nearly all districts east of the Rocky Mountains the week ending April IS was unseasonably cold and very un- favorable for germination and growth. Farm work, however, in the Missouri Valley and Southern and Middle Atlantic States made very favorable progress. Severe drought continues from Central to Western Texas to the South Pacific coast.
 Preparations for planting corn have been. active under favorable conditions in the Missouri Valley and Middle Atlantic States. Tn the Southern States low tenn peratures have proved unfavorable by checking growth and germination.
 In Illinois winter wheat has made lit- tie growth and its condition is less prom fsing than ten days ago. In Ohio a large acreage will be plowed up for other crops.
 Over the Southern portion of the sprins wheat region the seeding for spring wheat is nearly finished.
 Tn the Central Mississippi and the low CT Missouri Valley oat seeding has been active and is wen advanced. In the Southern States the crops also on the whole are doing well but are in need of rain from the Carolinas to Western Texas and Oklahoma.
 Cotton planting has progressed rapidly throughout the Central and Southern portions of the belt and has begun in the northerly districts. Tn portions of Georgia and Texas, planting Is nearly finished and chopplng has been begun in Florida and Southern Georgia. Through out the belt the weather has been much too cold for germination and growth the reports indicating that considerable re- planting will be necessary in portions of the central and western districts. Fruit has experienced a week of trying condi- tions throughout the central valleys and middle Atlantic and Southern States. and while the reports indicate that much injury has been done by frosts or freez- ing temperatures, good prospects. due to the lateness of the season. continue in many sections.

As Viewed in New work

New York, April 19-Colonel w. P Clough. Vice-President and General Coun- sel of the Northern Securities Company, when informed of the denial by the United States Circuit Court at St. Paul of the pe- tition by Messrs. Hartman and Pierce regarding the proposed stock distribution. said the result was just what he had ex- pected, but beyond that statement he re- fused to express himself.
 The news aroused interest in financial circles, although few of those more di- rectly interested would express any opln- ions in the matter.
 One of the counsel for the Northern Sc- curities Company said the decision will merely throw the application for an h. junction out of court and any appeal would not carry with 1t a stay of proceed ings because if 1t did so such a stay would practically give the injunction. The same is true, he declared, in the decision against the Continental Securities Com pany, rendered at Jersey City yesterday.
 Northern Securities stock advanced a point and a half on the news that the petition had been denied. Some $500 shares changed hands in tha first hour.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-04-20

In the general market Union Pacific de- clined to a fraction under last night s closing. but recovered and then again de- clined.
 A representative of the Hartman inter est said that the decision is just what they expected 1t would be. The suit was brought In the United States Circuit Court merely as a matter of form so as to give Minnesota an opportunity to exer- else Jurisdiction in the case if it so de- sired.
 ''We did not expect that Mrl Harri- mans petition would be granted and after learning the attitude of the Attorney General. we were sure that the applica- tion would be denied. Our attorneys, however. thought 1t a matter of legal decency to bring suit there. We shall now institute new proceedings, but just of what nature or when, has not yet been fully determined"
 It Is probable that any new action will be brought in the courts of New Jersey, in which State the Northern Securities company secured United States charter.

 Second-No one but the United States can successfully appeal to the court to enjo1NA the execution of that plan on the ground that 1t Is in violation of the Sher- man antitrust act. and the United States expresses satisfaction with the present decree.
 Third-rhe stock of the two railway companies is not in the custody of the court.
 Fourth-An intervention is not neces- sary to enable the petitioners to protect any pecuniary interest of equity they have.
 Judge Thayer delivered the opinion of the court.

JIM PARKER SPEAKS
NEGRO WHO SAW MCKINLEY
 AsSASSINATEO.
He Gives Graphic Description of Ma tion's Great Tragedy to Small
 Audience at Old Ship
 Church.

James B. Parker, the negro who was the first man to reach Czolgosz and disarm him after he had shot Presi- dent Mckinley at the Temple of Mu- sic in Buffalo, September 6. 1901, dur ing the Pan-American Exposition, gave graphic description of the trag- edy in a speech to a small crowd of negroes at the Old Ship Church on Holconnbe street last night.
 Ills audience was appreciative and frequently applauded the speaker. Par ker is a negro of intelligence, which coupled with some knowledge of the world gained by travel, gives him a pleasing address. He presented his sub ject in an interesting way. He tells his story in a straightforward but modest manner. but shows that he feeis proud of the part he took in the affair. He is a big negro. probablye six feet six inches in height and Is built in proportion to his extreme height. He is of a light color and says that Indian, American, African and Cuban blood flows in his veins His mater nal grand gTother, he says. was a full blooded Cherokee Indian and his grandfather was a white man. His paternal grand mother was full biooded African, and his grandfather a Cuban.
 Parker was born in Atlanta, Ga, but has lived about the country for a number of years. He served as deupty sheriff In Georgia for several years, then went North and served as a mail carrier. as a waiter in hotel at Saratoga Springs, N T., later as a Pullman porter and was employed as waiter in a Buffalo restaurant at the time he became known on account of his brave and timely assistance to the late President Mckinley.
 He said he. like the thousands of other people. wanted to see the Presi- dent. and while the head-waiter's head was turned. he slipped out of a rear door and made for the depot where the President was to arrive. He tells tn detail the story of the assassination from the time he caught sight of the President to the time he lost sight of him as he was driven rapidly away to the hospital.
 In his scuffie with the assassin, Czol- gosz, Parker said he struck him sew er=I blows with his fist and that if

THE STATE COMMITTEE
IT WILL MEET IN MONTGOMERY
 TODAY.
No Contests But Walker County Will Ask for Increased Representa- tion in Democratic State
 Convention.

The State Executive Committee of the Democratic Party will meet to- day at noon in the City Council cham Der. The committee meets to wind up the affairs of the general primary of April II.
 The advance guard of the commit tee which reached the city last night was not as large as usual. Some fear was expressed that a quorum of mem bers would not respond to roll call when the committed assemblies to-day. The meeting of the committee will be held, however, even if it is necessary to telegraph some members of the committee to come to Montgomery to enough members to make a quorum will come in on the noon trains.
 Chairman H. s. D. Mallory of Selma reached the city last night, and Is staying at the New Mabson.
 The principal business, of the com mittee to-day will be the canvass of the returns and the declaration of the results of the races for State officers. No nomination depends upon the &C., tion of the committee. All contests were settled in the primary. So far as was known last night, no contest of any sort will be brought before the
  tee is expected to be largely routine.
 A feature, of the meeting will be the appearance before the committee of MT. B. McCollom. Lomax Smith and Walter c. Davis of Jasper. asking that the committee allow Walker county a larger representation in the State con- vention. Walker county at present has only five delegates. The county has been allowed five delegates since 1890. Since 1890 1t is claimed that Walker county has doubled its population, but its representation in the State conven- ton remains the same. Messrs. Smith McCollum and Davis will ask that the State Committee increase Walker representation to ten delegates. They will claim that Walker county is en- titled to at least that representation either upon the basis of population or upon the voting strength.
 J. D. Christian of Perry county, a member of the committee, said to a representative of The Advertiser last night that he had been surprised tc read in the daily papers of the State specials sent out from Marion stating | that the Perry county delegation tc the State convention was in favor oi
 Hearst for President This special he
 said. was an error. The Perry county delegation, he said, was not for Hears and so far as he knew not a single man on 1t favored Hearst's nomina | ton.

Professor of Yale Law School Says
 the Judges Reputation Was Not Good in the .ity of Jacksonville.

Washington, April 19.-John Wurts, a professor in the law school of Yale Uni versity. gave testimony today against Judge Charles Swayne before the sub committee of the House Committee. Judge Swayne was present and will cross examine Professor Wurts tomorrow.
 As to Judge Swayne's reputation in Jacksonville, Professor Wurts said:
 Judge Swayne's reputation in Jack sonville was that of a judge who was open to influence and whose decisions were governed by other consideration than the law and the evidence" The witness testified that Judge Swayne had a private car of the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West Railroad at his disposal for something like two years during the receivership of Mason Young, who was appointed by Judge Swayne During the summer months, from May to December, he said Judge Swayne would come to Jacksonville from his northern home only on dull days. On those trips, which took place about once a month. the witness said, the judge would use his private car.
 According to Professor Wurts, the Flor idc Central and Peninsula Railroad fur nished Judge Swayne a private car for himself and party to go to the Pacific slope This trip caused much scandal ous talk in Jacksonville and the witness said on his return Judge Swayne told him that the only expense the trip had been to him was the provisioning of the car.
 The appointment of John King, a young man without legal knowledge or training, az master in chancery In a pending suit involving the Florida Southern Railway was another of the accusations brought forward by Professor Wurts against Judge Swayne.
 King, he sad, was reputed to be rel ative of the Judge He received a salary os S125 a month for twenty-five months under his appointment and finally fee of $13,506 for closing up the business and selling the road. This was declared to be an exorbitank fee.
 Professor Wurts practiced law in Jack sonville, Fla, from 1884 to 1894.

the officers had not interfered and had let him have one or two more licks at him, a judge would not have been needed to try the man. As 1t was, he said, the frenzied people gave him a pretty substantial beating in their ef- forts to get at the assassin. not know ing whether he was the right man or not. He told of how. after he was rec ognized as the man who it was then believed had saved the Presidents life, people crowded about him and asked to buy his clothing for souvenirs. With a happy smile, Parker said, he sold the buttons off his coat and vest for $5 and $10 each, his hat. his coat and vest and his shoes until he was obliged to purchase new clothes. He
 said as he was leaving the place, a
 white lady stopped him and asked him if he didn't have something to sell her He told he No" and she asked for a lock of his hair.
 T haven't got any locks" he said he replied, but If you want one of these kinks, you are welcome" He spoke of a visit later to Wash ington when he was taken to see President Roosevelt and spoke highly of the President. saying that he was one of the best friends the negro had in the United States.
 Parker said that he was negro ana
 that he knew his place. Tn talking of other matters, he said what the negro wanted was not equal social rights
 with the white man, but equal rights
 before the law, the right to protect his
 home and to worship God as he be-
 Iieved right. The white man. he aver
 red. would give the negro work. some
 thing to eat, something to wear and a
 little money. but the negro had his
 history to make himself. He said in regard to the idea suggested by some
 for the negro to go to Santo Domingo and live there.7 that 1t was no good. He said that he was an American cit
 izen and. that he expected to live and
 die in the United States. If the negro will take hold of the advantages at his disposal he believed all would do
 we'll.
 Parker spoke for a little over an
 hour and closed by saving that he
 would have been glad to give his life
 to have saved that of President Mo
 Kinley.
 He will go from here to South Ala
 bama and will return here from Pen
 sacola. where he is to speak, and re-
 peat his lecture in the Old Ship Church
 on Friday night of next week.
 As a speaker Parker is above the av-
 craze for a negro. He made a good
 impression on his hearers.

 It is evident Hearst strongly desires to capture West Virginia.

Bryan Discusses Action of the New
 York Convention.

Lincoln, Neb.. April 19.--W. J. Bryan to- night gave the papers the following state ment concerning the action of the New York Democratic State Convention:
 "I do not think the instructions will give Judge Parker any additional strength, but the platform adopted by the convention ought to prevent his nomina- ton, unless the Democrats when they they assemble at St Louis, decide to at tempt confidence game on the public"
