 ID NEW ORLEANS

New York,-It is stated In New York today that the Hoadley-Shaw syndicate has purchased from the Busch Everett company and the Mississippi Valley Gas, oil and Pipe Line company the right to their requirements for handling gas in the Caddo gas fields, Louisiana, and has also purchased the franchise for distribution in New orleans. It Is reported that sub scriptions to the amount of $6,000,0oO have been obtained through Henry H. Belville and Canadian associates, Cecil A. Gren- fell and associates of London, Senator James F. Shaw and associates of Boston, and large St. Louis interests identified with many investments in the south. An 1S-inch pipe line of 320 miles will, 1t is said, be immediately laid from the gas fields to New Orleans in order to occupy the franchise for distribution at that point. MT. Joseph H. Hoadley, when asked as to the correctness of these re- ports. confirmed them, and said:
 Work Is to be commenced immediately and 1t is contemplated gas in these fields will be in New Orleans within the next IS months. This means that New Orleans will be one of the largest manufacturing cities in the United States and the great est shipping port in the country outside of New York"

BUILDING ROADS
 IN OLD MISSOURI

While most of the roads In New Eng. land are of hard rock macadam, many of those in the Carolinas are of sand clay and most of the states or sections have their own peculiar kind of road, depend- ing upon the geological features. Mis- souri, for the same reason, has adopted many kinds of roads in different sections of the state: sand, clay, gumbo, chert, gravel and different kinds of rock being the different materials available. Among the rocks used is the so-called ''silica," which Is local name for rotten rock running high in silica found in Cape Girardeau county and vicinity and which makes excellent roads for light or medium travel. Chert, grave and rock are found in Green county, each of these IS used where most accessible. Convicts furnish the labor to a large extent, es- pecially on the stone macadam roads. In St. Louis county most of the roads are macadam or Telford macadam. There are hundreds of miles of river bottom lands where sand and gumbo mixed seem to be the only practicable road material, and excellent roads for farm wagons have been constructed with them on the principle of the sand clay roads.

HOG CHOLERA
 DOING DAMAGE

Jackson Miss, May 22.-(Special)-Hog cholera in very malignant form is re- ported to have broken out In Wilkinson county. near Fort Adams, and one farmer has already lost 55 head of good porkers, while several others in his bunch have the disease.
 Wilkinson was one of the very first counties in Mississippi in which the Mexi- can boil weeviI made his appearance about three years ago, and the farmers, having been driven away from cotton have taken to hogs, cattle and other live stock as naturally as duck does to wa ter. They have just gotten good start at the business of. raising hogs. the es- tablishment of the packing plant at Natchez having proved great incentive, and are making money right along.
 The live stock sanitary board has been advised of the outbreak, and it is under stood that experts armed with large quantity of serum are now on their way from the Horticultural and Mechanical col leee to the scene of the trouble. Vaccina- ation has been found very efficacious in nreventing the cholera, and in some in- stances it has cured the sick if adminis- tered in time. Thus the state, assisted by the general government is doing every thing possible to encourage hog raising in the south, especially in the boil weevil districts.

 Governor McGovern recalled that 1t was Captain Green. of the Third Wiscon- sin, who conducted the Confederate offi- cers defending Vieksburg to the head quarters of the union army under flag of truce
 well might President Lincoln declare, upon receiving tidings of the fall of vicksburg: Signs look better; the father of waters now goes ruvexed to the sea. Thanks to the great northwest for it.
 "Vicksburg is pre-eminently the proper place for the Wisconsin monument" Governor McGovern continued. "In no other campaign were so many of our troops engaged. The Badger state was here represented by seventeen military organizations. among them many distin- guished sons of Wisconsin"

 Governor Noel spoke from a southern viewpoint. This is Wisconsin's day. he said; its governor has spoken from it's standpoint in voicng some of their feelings of the long ago. Had birth cast his fortune in our state or our section he would have seen our side of the is sues eliminating in war and would have followed the flag of the south and would have been on the inside instea1 of the outside of the Vicksburg fortifications, nobly sustaining it's defense during the memorable siege, sharing our convictions and our fortunes"
 But all feeling iJ past and we are of such a forgiving nature that we could even forgive Wisconsin her great prosperity Governor Noel concluded. We are all of one country now, under one flag"

Donelan Declared Unseated

Cork. Ireland May 22.-Captain An thony J. Donelan, the nationalist whip, who defeated William O'Brien in the east division of Cork county at the last general election, was unseated today by the court hearing the petition against his election.

CLAIMS NO POPULAR DEMAND
 FOR DIRECT ELECTION EXISTS

Washington, May 22.-No popular demand exists for a change in the con- stitution so as to deprive Congress of the right to supervise the election of United State senators. So asserted a minority of the members of the Sem ate committee on judiciary in re- port filed today.
 The report ordered the withdrawal of such right of supervision from Con- gress as is contemplated in the plan for the selection of senator4by direct vote of the people. It was signed by Senators Clark, Wyoming; Nelson, Dill ingham, Sutherland. Brandegee and Root all republicans.
 The report ignores the report of df- rect elections and deals entirely with that of supervision, which is declared

to be the more important feature of the house resolution for election which Is now before the Senate on a report of the judiciary committee.
 The exercise of that national power over the popular election representations meets with no objection and the proposal is to continpe." says the report. "The proposed change from legislative senators to popular election of senators furnishes no reason whatever for destroying the uj- innate power and control over the elec- ton of senators which the national Con- gress has now under the constitution"
 Condition Is also made that the posses sion of power, which it Is proposed to strike out, Is essential to enable the na- tional government to act effectively in case 1t should have ever occasion to en- force the provisions of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitu- ton.

HUM ----~-~~~---~-~-----~--- -~-----~-~-~-----~-~---~-~ word from Judge Carbajal that Fran cisco I. Madero had finally approved the cabinet as suggested. So soon as Madero's acceptance of the cabinet is received it may be assumed that Pres ident Diaz will present his resignation to the chamber of deputies. On the as- sumption that this acceptance will be made within the next 24 hours, 1t has been pra ctically agreed that this most interesting document of the revolution will be made public on May "A. No effort Is made now to disguise the fact that General Diaz will leave the country at an early date. It Is expected that he will spend several months visiting Eu- rope and 1t Is reliably reported that a passage has already been arranged for him on one of the boats of a French stea mship line.

 labor The total number of kilometers on the National Railways put out of commission by the rebels is estimated at 3970.
 Although the public manifested appro- val of the signing Of the peace, there was evident no enthusiasm.
 Alphabetically the people read the news in the morning papers. It was like the receipt of the news following an election where the result is foregone conclusion. For days the victory of Ma dero has been accepted as a fact al- most accomplished, lacking only of the confirmation. Business men expressed the keenest satisfaction over the suc- cessfu termination of the war which has cost the country so many millions of pesos. They see in the immediate fu- ture a continuation of business depres- sion, but feel confident of the reaction which they consider bound to follow.
