FRENCH OPINION PERTURBED
 AT RECALL OF GEORGES LOUIS

in connection with the suggested medita- ton in the Turco-Italan war.
 Another result of the discussion is To make it impossible for France to 'allow the immediate transfer or retirement ol Ambassador Louis from St. Petersburg.
 An inspired dispatch from St. Peters burg to the Temps denies in the most categorical form the insinuation that there is divergence of views between France and Russia. According to the dispatch Russia is anxious to bring the Turco-Italian war to an end as it IS causing immense losses to Russian ship ping Nevertheless the Russian govern ment does not harbor the slightest de- sign against Turkey nor IS It exercising pressure on Turkey. Russia likewise is anxious to preserve the existing condi- tion of things in the Balkans for which purpose 1t has reached understandings with Austria and italy, These understand ings are not inmical to France which Russia hopes will not be influenced by the attempts of schemers to destroy the solid Franco Russian alliance.

subject of inquiry at the second investi- gaton.
 The sensational account by former State Representative Charles A. White of re- ceiving Lorimer election money was pro- nounced as pure fabrication, so far as it relates to the election of Senator Lori mer."
 From a most exhaustive examination and painstaking consideration of all the testimony in the case,' the report de- clared the committee finds that White was one of the 53 democrats who felt jus tified in voting for Mir Lorimer in order 10 break the deadlock which had existed in that body for so many months, and that Whites attempt to enrich himself at the expense of his own reputation was the result of an afterthought and of pur- pose which he had conceived at a time when he had reached the lowest depths of degradation
 Advance New Theory
 The committee advanced the theory that instead of Senator Daniel w. Holstlaw having been paid s25OO for having voted for Lorimer it might have been paid by liquor interests to defray his election ex- penses, although posing as a dry"
 From a consideration of all the cir cumstances,' it was explained, the com mittee is satisfied that Holstlaw was the candidate of the liquor interests in his senatorial district and was elected by them; that he was subjected to large campaign expenses. and money being dearer to him than his reputation, and , felt convinced that he would not be likely to incur such expenses unless assured that he would be reimbursed. It IS con ceded that liquor legislation has been one of the prominent and continuing elements
 
 Broderick being saloonkeeper in the city of Chicago, was naturally repre- sentative of the liquor interests, and money passing from him to Holstlaw is a feature of the case so suggestive in the absence of any other consideration tor it's payment. as to raise strong presump- tion at least that it's payment had some connection with the election of MT. Holstaw to the senate of Illinois.
 Everything connected with the evs- dence given by Senator Holstlaw indi- cates that his love of money is a consum- ing passion; that it dominates his judg- ment deadens his conscience, and de- stroys his regard for truth"
 Taken altogether. the committee said. the testimony indicated to it that Mi. Lorimer's election was the result of po- itical conditions and not attributable e. the corrupt use of money. It dwelt upon the statement that not single witness had reflected upon Senator Lorimer per sonally and that no testimony existed as to a single indiscreet remark or improper action on his part.
 As to general corruption funds in the Illinois legislature. it was said that ''witf,- out definite proof of the existence of a specific pack pot, the committee can only report that a general belief exists among many classes that corruption funds have been more or less common in connection with legislation in that state

DEATH OF MANUEL BORNIO AT NEW OR
LEANS ON SUNDAY NIGHT,
Veteran Citizen Passes Away at Age Of Eighty Six
Years-Was Father of DR.. D. Bornio, Sum-
mer Resident of Bay St. Louis.

The death of Mr.. Manuel Bornio, res
ident of New Orleans, is noted with deep
regret.s
The deceased was father of DIR. D.
Bornio, prominent and influential citi-
zen and physician at New Orleans, and
summer resident and property owner of
Bay ST. Louis and one of the best known
members of the summer colony here
from New Orleans annually.
The elder Bornio was notable and
conspicuous figure in the uplifting and
upbuilding of New Orleans. His home
paper, the Daily Picayune, contains the
following obituary notice. which we
give space to, as follows:
A life spent in doing everything pos
sible for the uplift of the city, in which
be had lived practically all of his ca
reer, was closed Sunday night when
Manuel Bornio, S6 years, answered the
| final summons.
OF a well fortified constitution, Mr..
Bornio, despite his advanced age, wa
able to fight off grip and pneumonia for
more than twelve months, only to sue
cumb to more common ailment-indi-
gestion.
Some twelve days ago his loved ones
realized that his life was fast ebbing
away, and from that time he sank ra-
pidly until 1890 o'cloaE Sunday night,
when he lapsed into peaceful sleep.
Mr.. Bornio was born at Saragossa,
Spain, but left his native heath at the
tender age of 4 years, when his parents
moved to Havana, Cuba. The family
resided in C"Na for five years, when
they came to this city.
He accompanied his father and broth
er, Domingo, to Germany shortly after
the family came to New Orleans to re-
side, and became enrolled as student
| in one Of the leading universities, from
which he graduated seven years after
ward. Young Bornio then returned to
Cuba and became bookkeeper in the
largest pharmacy in Havana. He was
also employed for time as paying tel
Ter in one of the Havana banks.
| Leaving Havana some years after
wards, he returned to New Orleans, and I,
| with his brother as partner, bought
from their father the cigar store imme-
diately in the rear of the ST. Louis Ca
thedraI, in Royal street. The two young
men paid their father $4,000 for the
right to operate the store. This did not
include the stock and fixtures.
Mr. Bornio was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Dolores Vargas
Machuca, and to this union were born
four children, all of whom survive.
They are DR.. D. Bornio, Mrs. r. F
Fornaris, of New York; M. Bornio.
cigar merchant; and Miguel Bornio.
of Mexico City, who is connected with a
Mexican mining company. Deceased
was married the second time to Miss
Mathilde Levy. No children blessed
this union.
Besides his children, deceased leaves
thirteen grandchildren and seven great
grandchildren.

"I guess, while I have chance, will
try to crafty the evident desire OF you
all as to my position in this great era
of reform which is sweeping everything
before it. AS you well know, cut
wide swath in affairs, and know where
of l speak. I'll tell you first of all;
there's no use to ARGUR with me on this
question, and it will be advisable for
our friend CLAMP to shut his jaws.
"My friends, this is the day OF re-
form, and we can't STRETcHER round
it; and we don't care to side-step the
issue?
(Great applause from the Tin-ware
shelf.)
"You'll ind it RULE obtaining in
this business where every fellow is used
as a Tool to BRACE up somebody's in
terest a BIT. Very little of our trade
is founded on the LEVEL, and | regret
very much the conditions obtaining.
ssThe time has arrived, friends, when
it behooves US to BRACE up and NAIL
our standard of morality and truth to
the staff of much higher PLANE; and
I know that if we TRI- SQUARE methods,
we will rid ourselves forever of the WISE
that has put a LOCK on our morals and
CHAINED us down to the Level of pill
fering RABBITs!
(Violent applause from Wash-boilers
"The matter of our future HINGES
only on the possibility of our utter ref
ormation.
"Nobody ever saw anyone CHIsEL per-
feet features out of the dry sand! If we
,ay PLAN, we must HATCHET; we must
call a SPADE a SPADE, and not be con-
tent until we have put the SCREWS to
our i'll tempered manoerisns! We must
STEEL ourselves against corruptions, and
not be LEAD to deceive an optimistic
public!
"Like a boat sailing at sea, no matter
what TACK we go on, there will be
wind to fill our SALES, but it must be a
STAPLE wind if we would drive our bark
into the harpor of public approval
"Our policies must be backed up by
| well TEMPERED consistency We must
| all get together; RAKE up the ashes OF
our past; SHOVEL forth the good BITS
| MAUI ourselves into submission IN the

Attorneys Lionel Adams and Joseph
Generelly, who have been retained by
the Biloxi Commercial Club to fight the
constitutionality of The oyster LAWS OF
Louisiana, particularly as regards the
shipping of oysters in the she'll out OF
that State, appeared Thursday morning
in the Criminal District Court, and filed
before Judge Chretien of Section B a
demurrer.
This demurrer attacks the validity of
the oyster laws of Louisiana, especially
with regard to the shipment of oysters
in the shell from that State, because, it
is conteuded, it is violative of the third
subdivision OF Section of Article of
the Constitution of the United States,
being an interference with interstate
commerce.
The article aforementioned sets forth
that Congress shall have the absolute
power to regulate commerce with for
eign nations, Indian tribes and between
the various States of the Union. Judge
Chretien fixed Friday, February 2, as
the day for hearing of arguments in the
matter.
The demurrer filed by Messrs. Adams
and Generelly Thursday morning at
tacks the information filed against L.
j. Ferrandeau, of New Orleans, who
was charged before the Criminal Court
with violating the oyster law by ship
ping barrels of oysters in the shell from
New Orleans to a canning company IN
BILOXI, Miss. The outcome of the case
before the Criminal Court of New Or
leans will be watched with keen inter-
est, as the Biloxi Commercial Club has
big cash fund which it is using to
good advantage in fighting all legisla-
tien having tendency to irjure the
oyster and fishing interests of Biloxi
and the surrounding country.
