friends Of the convention depended tc

the convention a majority Of lS,5oO
votes, but a smaller vote was polled
in New Orleans than had been ex'
pected, and with the heavy majorities
piled up against the proposition in the
country, where the vote was three to
one against the convention, the Oppo'
sition carried the day.
The country polled a light vote, but
the balloting was sufficient to spell
the defeat of the convention. With the
exception OF less than dozen par
ishes little or no support was offered
the convention plan, and over the
state, exclusive Of Orleans parish, on.
ly 1853 voters cast their ballot in its
favor. The opposition polled 1913
votes outside Of New Orleans. The
New Orleans vote opposing the con-

as high as 100, and only in isolated
cases was anything like an even
break recorded.

Rare objects and costly jewels were collected from the palaces and from the various officials, and were carried thither and stored in huge quantities.
 "Artificers were ordered to construct mechanical crossbows which, if anyone were to enter the tomb. would immediately discharge their arrows.

 Naturally nc one knows the exact amount of treasure in the tomb, but it is known that the total is enough to stagger the imagination. At the time it was built every precaution was taken to keep every thing connected with it secret. But in later years historians searching through the provincial records found many items telling of gold and silver and jewels sent from cities as contribution. Thus it was found that the ancient city of Kaifeng contributed a half million ounces of gold and five million ounces of silver; that Zayton, great city which flourished then and has since disappeared gave similar amount, supplemented by a cart load of the precious jade and hundred cart loads of silk.
 Multiply these contributions by hun dreds and one will probably have a fair idea of the great treasure the tomb con- tains.
