PERKINS WHEREABOUTS.

Lake Charles, La, June o.
There are no new developments in
the Sheriff Perkins case.
Nothing has been heard of his
whereabouts, although many be.
!ieve he is still in the parish,
though reports OF his having been
seen at Marlin, Texas, are in cir
culation.
1t is reported here that p. o.
Moss, cousin of Congressman Pnjo,
has been appointed provisional
sheriff.
D. J. Reid has mandamnsed the
governor to force him to Issue his
commission. His action here is
considered 10 mean that the COVER
nor has decided not to issue the
commission.

MANDAMUS IN REID CASE.

A new phase developed in the at
tempt of Kinney Reid to secure his
commission when late yesterday after
noon Judge Clegg filed request for
writ of mandamus against Governor
Blanchard, directing him to issue the
commission Judge Brunot signed the
papers and made them returnable on
Monday. They will be served on
Governor Blanchard to-day. The ac-
ton taken by Judge Clegg followed a
conference with Governor Blanchard
and the suit is understood to partake
somewhat of the nature of all amicable
proceeding.
Judge Clegg's grounds are that Gov
ernor Blanchard has only minister
ial duty to perform, that Mr.. Rerid
has been elected, that there is NO rec
ord that he is defaulter and that the
must issue. 1t is antic-
pated that Judge Brunot, upon hearing
of the.case, will require the commits
sion to ISSUE Governor Blanchard
may then appeal to the supreme court
The case would be a preference one and
Judge Clegg said he felt that he would
be able to get decision before the
close Of the present term of the gu
preme court. 1t is generally agreed
that If Reid gets the commission he
will immediately qualify. His bond
has already been made aud that fact is
stated in the application for the man.

ROOSEVELT PROGRAMME.

The London Express is informed
by its American correspondent that
the programme of Mr.. Theodore
Roosevelt is to fill the Office Of
President until 1912, and the third
term obstruction is to be cleared
away by the plausible argument
that the three years already served
by him are really part Of Presl
dent Mckiuley's term, hence the
election Of Mr.. Roosevelt in 1904
and 1908 would not violate any
precedent. The friends Of the
strenuous Theodore laugh at this
as sensational rumor, but the
country has good reason from what
it has seen of the character OF the
man to believe that it is the truth.
1t has seen him during the last
three years devoting himself with
tireless energy to the one task of
securing his nomination aud cleo
ton to the presidency for another
term. He has shown the most
convincing evidence of the fact that
he is absolutely infatuated with
the office and the power it gives
him, hence the people have little
reason to doubt that if he is elected
this year he will not be atished
but like Oliver Twist, will want
more Of the presidential pie, The
New York Evening Post says of
the report regarding the Roosevelt
programme that the intention is
to make no public declaration for
the present, and only the hint is to
be circulated quietly, aud it adds:
''Ths country is entitled, how
ever, to be told the truth. Putting
the third-term tradition one side,
we have right to know whether
Mr. Roosevelt means tn he a real
president during the next four
years or Ouly candidate for
another nomination. He has
avowedly been governed for three
years past by consuming desire
to be reelected. His friends admit
that nothing in the way of refrOm
measures can be expected form
him until after election. But
suppose that the LATTER election"
is next to be moved forward till
1908f That would be a long time
TO wait for a president who should
pass upon public questions i'm
partially and with judicial mind,
instead Of with an eye single to the
effect upon his personal fortunes.
This aspect of the matter will be
heard much of during the cam
paign, unless Mr.. Roosevelt gives a
formal denial to the rumored pur-
pose to kecl, him yet eight years in
he White House."
We are quite sure that if the
country really thought it was to
lave eight years more of Roosevelt
t would suffer nervous Collapse /.
rom which i, would have much
lifticnlty in recovering, but the
'are prospect u enduring such an {
infection we think will be sufficient I,
o cause the Roosevelt programme :

A GENEROUS OFFER.

Prof. B. G. Caldwell. President of
the State Normal School at Natchi
toches, arrived in the city yesterday
from Baton Rouge, where he spent a
few days in the interest of the Educa-
tional Bill.
I'VE are all very much interested
in the prospects for the million dollar
bond ISSUE said Prof. Caldwell yes
terday evening in the st. Charles Ho-
tel. I'm Baton Rouge talked to the
Educational Committee and to the
Committee on Appropriations, and l
found among the members very
strong educational sentiment.
"A matter that appears to me urg-
ent, and that l hope the legislators
will take wise position upon, is that
the money should be spent on primary
public schools exclusively. All the
rest of our educational institutions,
normal schools, high schools and in
dustrial schools are pretty well up
with the times and very well repre-
sent modern methods of education, but
the primary schools, especially those
in the country, are far behind the age
in which we live In the dstribu-
ton of this money my idea is that
after allotting an equitable share of
the city all the remainder should be
spent ON primary country schools.
1.-THE school people are feeling very
good over the prospects of this new
deal We all feel that we have the
best man for Governor from an educa-
tional point of view, and likewise the
best man for superintendent of Educa-
tion. And back of them there is a
widespread interest among the people
in favor Of education. l think that
there never was anything in Louisiana,
or in the Southern States, TO compare
with the present popular enthusiasm

II came down on the train the other
night with saw millman who talked
about schools from the businessman 8

He said that he would give 800 for

Knew three other saw millmen who
would join with him in giving 500 to

BIG DEAL IN IRON.
Steel Corporation Takes 10000 Tons at
Thirteen Dollars.

The United States Steel corporation
on Saturday last closed a contract
with the Bessemer Pig Iron Associa-
tion for 10000 tons OF pig iron at sl3
per ton at the valley furnaces.
Directly and indirectly, this will
employ 5000 men. 1t will require all
the combined output OF all the furna-
ces In the Mahoning and Shenango
valley, some of which have been idle
for six months. The price at which
the pig iron was sold Is an advance OF
about 80 cents per ton over the price
prevailing in January.
Every blast furnace owned by the
United States Steel corporation in the
central west is now in full operation
and the material contracted for Is in
addition 10 its output. The feeling
among iron men in Cleveland was dis
tinctly optimistic, many expressing
the opinion that the period OF de-
preston. experienced in some quarters
during the last several months, has
run its course and that the prospects
for season Of renewed prosperity in
the iron trade are now exceedingly
good.
The starting up OF the Mahoning
and Shenahgo valley furnaces will
stimulate the demand for coke, IL is
said, and the single order given by the
Steel corporation will require at least
100000 tons OF coke and from $4,000 to
$4,000 tons OF limestone.
The contract just closed will result
in taking the Bessemer output out of
the open market for some time TO
come.
