New Orleans. La, JAN 29--Tne VIC
torv Of Lieutenant Governor J. Y. San
ders In Yesterdays Democratic prima-
RES for the Governorship of Louisiana,
was conceded tonight by every un-of-
feiaI count made public.
The complete official count will not
be known for possibly two days but In
the oficiai returns SO far received,
sanders has gained over his opponent,
Theodora s. wilkinson. Sanders car
RED New Orleans by about 10000 votes.
In the country districts. the race was
more even, but so far the countAis in
Sanders's favor. The total city and
country vote was estimated at about
100, 900.
The wilkinson campaign managers
today made charges of fraud against
their opponents. and predicted that they
will be able to throw out many ballots
which they claim were Illegally count
ed for Sanders in the New Orleans pre-
oincts. Upon these claims of fraud they
saw they hope to cut down Sanders's
lead sufficiently to make the race very
even.
Returns counted up to a late hour
tonight made Sanders's victory certain.
The Indications were, however. that he
won principally on the plurality that
New Orleans gave him. No definite
fgures were received up to midnight

Alexander City, Jan. tSpecial)--
This morning about o'clock Captain
y. +. Sandlin, one OF the most promi-

mitted suicide at his home by pistol
shot through the head.
Captain Sandlin was n City Councii@

and well established firms in East Ala

shock to every one who had known his

eircumspect dealing. In fact his whole
life was looked upon as 1lodei.

'overworked himself at his business un-
til last summer when HIS nerves gave

Secretary Corteiyou deemed the issue
of Panama bonds and Treasury certf-
fcates by saying that II was advisable
to take some strong and resolute step
which would convince the public, both
at home and abroad. that the Govern
ment was thoroughly alive to the situ-
alton and determined to give its aid In
every possible legal and proper form.
Bonds Afforded Privileges.
Their character was such that Il
was anticipated most OF the subscrip-
lions would come from national banks;
that the per cent bonds afforded such
privileges to national banks as a basis
OF note circulation. that there were
strong Inducements to the banks to out
bid private investors, who would find
In the bonds nothing more than the
best form of security paying only per
cent per annum. and that 1t was ex-
pected--and this expectation was full
hlled--that the bonds would be used
chiefly as basis for additional bank
note circulation. Even IL there had
been no other justification for turning
subscriptions TO national banks. this
consideration--that the bonds would be
used to meet the pressure of currency
would. in the opinion OF the DEPART
ment. have justified an absolute restric-
ton of the awards to national banks.
THE legal right of the department
to make allotments OF the bonds and
securities 10 such persons and banks.
and in, such amounts as II might see

IN view OF the fact that the circular
offering the Panama bonds contained
this distinct provision: The depart
