leading spirits in federal Offices. II
President Roosevelt and Postmaster
! General Wynne knew the composition
of this cabal as well as it is known in
Louisiana they would accord scant
consideration to either recommends
tons or protests coming from that
source; and it seems apparent that
they have done this very thing, mas
much as the statement is made on the
| alleged authority OF the postm aster
general that the sole tangible objec-
ton to Gen. Behan's appointment is
| the fact that he has not been legal
| resident of New Orleans for several
years. While it is true that he has
maintained legal domicile and voted
in the parish of Iberville during that
period, he has actually resided in New
| Orleans quite as much as on his plan
tation in the country, besides keeping
an Office, owning property and con-
Quoting business in the city. To all
intents and purposes he has been a
citizen OF New Orleans, thoroughly
identified with her interests, and it is
understood that even the technical OBJ
lection to his eligibility on this score
no longer holds good.
From political and party point Of
view Gen. Behan is quite as worthy OF
the administration S confidence and IA
vor as he is in other respects. He &C.
cepted the Republican nomination
for governor last year solely from
sense of principle and duty, and al
though leading a forlorn hope, can
vassed the state with as much earnest
ness aud vigor as If the reward of
success awaited his efforts, paying the
larger share Of the campaign expenses
from his own purse, and rendering in
valuable service to the party by secur-
ing-in the face of overwhelming odds
and obstacles unknown 10 states where
the laws regulating suffrage and cleo
tions are fairly administrators SUI
ficient percentage OF the total vote to
entitle the Republican organization to
a place on the official ballot in sue
ceeding elections.
Hons. Frank B. Williams, chairman
of the Republican state committee, and
Henry Mccall, collector of the port at
New Orleans, visited Washington this
week and held conferences with Presi,
dent Roosevelt and Postmaster Cen
eral Wynne, as result Of which it is |
announced that the reported decision |
to 'sturn down" Gen. Behan has been
recalled and that further consideration |
Of his claims to the appointment as
postmaster will be accorded. The
Chief is sincerely of the opinion that
the president will do the right thing In
this case, as is his habit, and that
Gen. Behan will therefore continue to
hold the position in the federal service
which he has filled with such dis
efficiency and credit for the
past year.

Death Of Edward Christensen Lundsgaard

Death of Edward Christensen Lundsgaard
The Chief records with sincere sorrow
the death of Edward Christensen
Lundsg aard, better known as Edward
Christensen, which occurred in New
Orleans on Wednesday, the 4th in
slant, ct 2:l0 p. NJ, as the result
Of an operation for appendicitis. We
have no further particulars OF the
sad event than are furnished by the
mere notice of the demise and inter-
ment printed in the New Orleans daily
papers. Mr.. Christensen was formerly
resident OF Ascension. where he man
aged Gem plantation for the late Ben.
Gibson, but for number of years
past he has been employed as manager
of E. G. Morgan & Sons Fairfield
plantation, in the parish of Jefferson,
where he was uniformly successful in
making as good crops as the varying
conditions of the seasons permitted.
There were few men in his occupation
who achieved better results than he in
the cultivation OF the soil, the handling
OF labor or the harvesting of crops,
and his loss will be keenly felt by his
employers. In all the relations of life
he was an estimable man, and none
who knew him intimately could fail to
regard him with respect and affection.
He was native of Denmark, aged 81
years, and Is survived by his wife, nee
Marie Weber. Mr.. Christensen had
been for more than twenty years
member of Lee Lodge No. S, A. o. u.
w, of Donaldsonville, and has a
number Of friends here besides the
members of that organization who will
learn of his death with sadness and

which period 81,815.18 tons of cane
we're ground, an average of over 1000
tons per day. When the fact is taken
into consideration that % hours con-
stitute days run at Salisbury it will
be realized that the record established
for the season OF 1904 is an excep-
tionally fine one. The amount of
sugar manufactured was lO,9O2, 057
pounds, the average yield per ton of
cane being 1881 pounds. OF the cane
sent through the mill, 16,51515 tons
we're produced at Salisbury on $50
acres, of which 1901 acres were de-
voted to plant cane and 1851 acres to
stnbble. The plant cane yielded 81. 98
tons to the acre and the stubble 254
tons, the average yield being 29.7
