OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
MEETING.

From the posters that were
strewn ever our streets aud tackled
to telegraph poles the public were
notified that there would be held
at the Vendome Opera House on
the night Of the 9th inst, Blan-
chard- Fosters Sanders meeting. Pur-
suant to said posters the Blanchard
Foster Sanders combination APP
pesred on time and very fair
sized audience greeted them con-
sisting Of about 400 people, sc of
whom, we are Informed were JAS
tremski Democrats, rs were minors,
and 10 ladies leaving net follow
| ing Of the combination of about
27O, which we consider rather
poor showing when it is known
that for days the meeting was
heralded and strenuous efforts were
made in al the wards to bring in
delegations from the country. The
meeting was called to order by
Hon. L. o. Hacker aud Hon. Wal
ter ]. Burke was called to
preside, and . large number of
vioe-presidents mostly from the
country. The citizens of New Ibe-
ria were not present in overwhelm-
ing numbers. The speeches of
the star combination did not evoke
much enthusiasm, indeed it was
generally remarked that it was the
coolest audience seen for a long
time, most Of the speakers seemed
to be more intent in defending
their past record and criticisms
on same than in discussing the is
sues that are before the people with |
now and then ripple of applause.
While We are disposed to deal fairly |
in speaking Of the meeting we are
free to say that it was disappoint-
ing in every way and not up to the
level Of what was expected from
The distinguished trio. If this
meeting is considered great sue
csss, the friends of General Jas-
tremski may feel encouraged.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Dec. 31-The first inn
portant step In the extension Of the
drawback system along the lines
favored by Secretary Shaw as substie
tute for tariff revision will be to allow
imported to be mixed with American
grain in the production of flour exclu-
sively for export. Attorney General
Moody, to whom the question was re-
ferred for an. opinion, has decided that
this can be done under the drawback
law. His opinion was discussed and
approved at the cabinet meeting yes
terday and as soon as it has formally,
been submitted in writing, Mr.. Shaw
will issue an order providing for the
extension.
The extension was asked for by the
millers of New York and the northwest
farmers The miliers claimed that il
the extension was not granted they
| would lose their export trade.
Hard wheat can be bought in Canada
for 20 cents bushel less than in this
country and this difference, they said,
would give them control Of the foreign
markets. III ,'.'''
brough led the fight, contended that to
grant the extension would deprive them
Of the benefits of protection.
To this argument Mr.. Shaw replied
that they were promised protection at
home, but not in foreign markets, and
that American protection would not be
interfered with by the extension.
This was the view taken by the cab
met meeting. Mr.. Moody held that
when it "appears, in the language Of
the law, to the secretary Of the treasury,
that all of the -four into which the Ca
madam wheat entered has been exported
the drawback may be allowed, and that
it need not "appear' to the eye, but
to the brain. Inspectors who will keep
track Of all Of the Canadian wheat
will be assigned to all Of the mills which
import grain under the new arrange-
ment. Their salaries will be paid by
the millers. s.

WANT POOLING RIGHTS.
On This Basis Roads Will Yield to-
Government Control.

New York Sun Special Service s
New York, Dec. 3l-There are res
ports in financial circles that endeavors
are being made to bring about COM
promise between the government and
the railroads. in regard to Interstate
traffic on basis Of legalized pooling.
The railroad interests, it is said, would
submit to some more strict form of
control by the interstate commerce
commission, provided they are allowed
to form pools and associations among,
themselves to control and divide traffic.
The president Of a great railroad sys-
tenn, whose name for obviaus reasons
cannot be used, said today:
| NThe government is finding that the
railroads are pretty strong themselves
and are entitled to the same fair con-
siderations given individuals. There
has been a disposition for every govern
ment official to jump, on the railroads
as good game to attack. I would not
be surprised to see settlement Of
some sort.''
The railroads have a strong supporter
in Secretary of the Navy Morton, who
is one Of the foremost champions Of the
pooling system and who has repeatedly
urged that it be made legal. MI
