Clara Morris, asked by a friend if she was stopping at the new St.

We- were obliged to go elsewhere." As El Paso has but three of four hotels, and small ones at that, hardly sufficient for the ordinary business, people have wondered where the thousands of people who attend the fights will sleep. They can guess when they r- know several hundred sleeping oars are to be sidetracked there. The Pullman Company can send hotels on a wheels to any part of the country. At some of the top-town clubs of Gotham the prices for meals have re- cently been materially reduced. The chef at the Players Club sets a table "d'hote for GO cents every day at half-past 6, and; unless you're promptly in your seat at that hour, regular prices are charged and, therefore, patrons are particular to be on hand at that time.

The Bosetta Gravel Paring Com pany did not figure heavily in the city's accounts before lbTX). Since that time it has crown to be the chief absorber of the city's reserve fund which ia, de voted to permanent Improvements. This sort of thing has gone on until that corporation has secured, despite in many cases the protests of the people, nearly all the public paving contracts, unless for streets compelled to bear heavy carriage.

The forcing of the Kosetta gravel UDon the Dronerty owners, who have to pay a large proportion of the paving contracts, became so unbearable that finally the State Legislature found it necessary to interfere, uy naotinir a law Dermitting the property owners concerned to name the sort of paving desire- -S them. It the gravel paving had proved -useful and efficient, the people who are generally so patient under the impositions and exactions loaded upon them by the City Council could have accepted with some sort of resignation the vast gravel jobbery; but, as a paving material, the most of the gravel has proved wholly worthless, and the proof of It is In the fact that tne uty council is about to pass an ordinance to let out contracts for the repaving of the greater part of the gravel-paved streets. The people of this city have had many outrages perpetrated on them by the present City Council: but there is nothing that is charged to this boodle body that is so flagrant as this attempt to make the citizens pay a million dollars for the repaving of streets, the former paving of which is so recent that the work has scarcely yet been paid for. This is one of the last desperate jobs of a municipal legislature which is the most notorious ever known In the history of this city for criminal cor ruption and jobbery. This public body, which has -earned the title of the "Boodle Council," has only about three months more of existence, and it ought to be anxious to go out of office attracting as little attention as possible; but, instead of that, It -seems bent on as many enormous jobs as possible.

This paving scheme Is so flagrant and outrageous an Imposition that the people ought to hold a mass meeting to protest against It, and, before the job should be consummated, the Citi zens' League shout appeal to the courts for protection for the taxpayers from such bare-faced municipal rapacity. KEW OULEASS' EMERGENCY. Probably no commercial city of the modern world has suffered more from competition in trade than has New Orleans. For years It controlled all the trade of the Mississippi valley, and forty years ago it was as much a cotton emporium as it is to-day, although the cotton crop of the Southern States has since doubled in Quantity. New Orleans owed its early growth and commercial power to its position near the mouth of a great continental river which penetrates the great heart of the broadest and most fertile valley in the world.

Up to a few decades ago, the great commercial highway from the Mississippi valley to the Eastern States, as well as to foreign countries, was by the Mississippi River to New Orleans, and thence by sea. Forty years ago the merchant of St. Louis bought his imported goods in New Orleans, and received them by steamboat up the Mississippi River, and when the same "boat made her downward voyage' she brought to New Orleans the products of the. Northwest, either for distribution in other American markets or for shipment abroad. In 1840 New Orleans was the third city In the Union, surpassed only by New York and Baltimore, and in 1850 the receipts of produce from the interior at this port amounted to SIOO.000,000.

But, in the meantime, the Erie Canal in New York State, and railroads In Pennsylvania and Maryland, were being built to connect the great productive West with New York and other North Atlantic ports, and in that way trade was diverted from New Orleans, while the building ef east-and-west; railroads went on to such an extent that finally cotton was drawn almost from the environs of New Orleans direct to New York, or other eastern points, for manufacture or shipment. Three decades of such hard experience have begun to teach the people something, and they are at last bestirring themselves to meet conditions that have brought so much loss of business. If not disaster, and they are becoming fully alive to the necessities of their situation. They are recognizing that, if the east-and-west railroads hare robbed them of their business, the north-and-south lines, if provided with proper, facilities, can restore much of what was lost and bring more from new fields of supply that "are being made, accessible. In this connection, it Is going to turn out that the free wharfage and the commodious railway facilities that have been recently established at Southport and Chalmette, instead of operating as calamities to the business of this city, will prove godsends, because they have had the effect of waking the people up to the extreme perils of their This awakening is scarcely a fortnight old, but it has produced an excitement that has roused the business community to a red heat Truly it was time" for in half a century New Orleans has sunk from the position of the third city in the Union to that of the twelfth, with a prospect of being still farther left behind.

The slowness of New Orleans In realizing and rising to an emergency is in strong contrast to that of some other places. Everybody remembers the great public parade which was made last summer ton the occasion of the opening by the German Emperor of a ship canal from the North Sea into the Baltic Formerly ships had been required to round the' peninsula of Denmark, passing through the Straits of the Skagerrak and Kattegat, This circuit around Denmark made Copenhagen a port of great importance and the real entrepot of the Baltic The Copenhagen people, realizing that they were going to be cut off by the new canaL at once set to work to make their city a free port, and to create as many, business'f acilities and "attractions as posslblle, so as to force competition with any place on the Baltic waters. A free port has been described as ct terrilcrx the in-' land. It Is a harbor basin with a certain land area, all sides by high fences which constitute the boundary between the free territory and the inland. Within the inclosed area vessels can unload their merchandise and store it in the warehouses free of all tariff duties, or inspection of custom-house officers.

Factories may be located there and use imported, dutiable raw materials without paying any duty; they may export their, manufactured products, or send them inland; in the latter case the. duty must be paid. Whatever passes the boundary line must pay all dues as if coming from a foreign country. But what is stored in transit only, what is lost by leakage and evaporation, waste of raw ma terials from the factories," "pays. nothing.

The freedom of a free port usually refers to tariff duties only; but in Copenhagen there is not only this relief from customs tax. there is really a free harbor, all harbor dues having been done away with: It is, therefore, one, of the cheapest harbors at which a vessel can "call. The enterprise of Copenhagen is worth attention. There should be no question as to the necessity of taking promptly every measure possible for the reorganization, rehabilitation arid the restoration of the trade of this city. But wisdom counsels that In taking such steps 00 dangerous and trade-strangling monopolies shall be created, It has been too much the case with this city, when It wanted some improvement, to throw itself into the arms and jaws and claws of a.

greedy monopoly. Let this be guarded against with the greatest care and the utmost jealousy. THE EXTENSIVE MOVEMENT OP" CORN. The Picayune has already referred several times to the fact that the corn exports this year have so far been rery large, and 'also to the further fact that several phenomenally large cargoes have cleared for European ports. The shipments of corn during last month reached.

the large total of 3,500,000 bushels, and within the past few weeks two' cargoes have been cleared which exceeded two hundred thousands bushels each. Yesterday was another big day in the way of corn shipments. Seven foreign steamers cleared for European ports with cargoes aggregating altogether 501,602 bushels of corn, in addition to much other freight. This grain movement was, with a single exception, the largest on record for a single day at this port, and was probably the largest day's exports of corn, the record breaker in the way of grain shipments having been in wheat, and exceeded the movement of yesterday by a few thousand bushels only. It should be remarked that the very large movement of corn this season has' been nearly altogether handled by the railroads and the stationary elevators which they control; Comparatively little grain has arrived by river, owing to the low stage of the water.

In former seasons of large grain movement the 'grain has been brought here mainly in barges by river, the railroads not having at that -time the facilities for moving grain in sueh vast quantities as have been handled this season. The fact that the extensive corn shipments this year have been handled almost entirely by the railroads and the stationary elevators, therefore, emphasizes very strongly the revolution in the grain trade which has taken place at this It is also very apparent that, were the river open to St. Louis the year round, or at least during the busy the facilities for handling grain' at this port would be superior to those of any other tidewater port in the country. The celerity with which large cargoes are loaded into the ships arriving here under charter to take grain has been matter for favorable comment among the shipping interests, and as New Orleans cargoes have arrived in Europe in excellent condition and graded well, the port has acquired a high reputation as a gram-shipping point, a fact which cannot fail to bring business in this direction during future seasons. New Orleans now possesses three large elevators of modern construction, eligibly situated for handling grain promptly and in large quantities.

These, -together with the floating elevators, afford ample facilities for handling the existing business; but It may safely be assumed that additional elevators will be built at no distant date, particularly when free wharfage has been secured. THE DRAINAGE FUND AND FREE WHARVES. There appears to be only one question, in regard to the proposition to use a portion of the drainage fund for the. purchase. of the wharf lease.

Can the money be lawfully used" for such a purpose? The cash In question was set aside by an ordinance of the City Council as a "sacred fund" for drainage. Unless a contract, was made with another party to that end, there Is nothing in the ordinance that another ordinance cannot nndo. In examining the court proceedings in the litigation in which the $700,000 received bf the city for: sale of the franchises of the City and Lake Railroad figured, the record shows that the case was dismissed by Judge Monroe, of the Civil District Court, on the motion of Mr. James Wilkinson, of 'counsel, who stated to the court that a compromise had been made with the oity by which the money in litigation was to be devoted to drainage. The court then dismissed the case, without conditions or limitations, so that, as far as appears, there is no legal bar to the diversion of the money from the drainage; but it must be devoted to permanent Improvements: Of course, the parties at whose instance the cause was dismissed by the court can revive It if they think fit RAILROAD TRACKS ON THE RIV- ER FRONT.

-v--. While it is absolutely necessary that the river and the rail handling- the commerce of this city should enjoy the closest connection, so that trade may be facilitated in every proper way, there is great danger, now that the good people of this city are; awake to the importance of this proposition, that railway privileges on the levee may be given away improvldently and imprudently. Beeause great mistakes have been raadala tie rrtt, tt the city, that Is no reason why any more mistakes can be excused. Cm the contrary, this' city can afford to make no more mistakes in granting further privileges on the river front, and in this connection the Picayune urges that no more exclusive trackways or rights be given to any corporation; but it should be distinctly provided that for belting on such tracks the cars of every connecting railroad shall be moved, without, discrimination or unreasonable delay, at a. like rate of ex-, pense for alL and that' a maximum charge, which shall be as small; as possible, shall be fixed for such ser vice.

Any giving of exclusive, privileges will, only create more of the monopolies which' have so long been the bane of this city. In granting switch "privileges to cotton presses and factories, the least possible damage should be done to the. other uses of the public highways, and the parties controlling such switch tracks should be specially made liable for damage to private property thereby caused. THE NATIONAL NAVAL RESERVE. The Naval Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives have airreetl to increase the appropriation for the maintenance of the Naval Reserve in the naval appropriation bill from UOO to $50,000 per annum.

It has been found that the numerical strength of the naval militia has Increased to such an extent that the former appropriation no longer served to provide the most necessary arms and equipments. lhe Navy Department. after several years of close observation, has come to the conclusion that the Naval Re serve militia, if properly equipped, could be made of the greatest practical value, and strongly favors the enact ment of additional legislation which will make the relations of the reserve to the regular navy better defined. A bill has been introduced in Congress which aims at clearly defining the status of the Naval Reserve, and which empowers the President, In the event of war, to enlist in the regular service any portion of the Naval Re-, serve, or the entire force, without special act of Congress, and to commission the Naval Reserve officers. The Increase of the appropriation, and the efforts to establish closer relations between the regular navy and the Naval Reserve, are very strong indorsements of the naval militia movement, and should encourage the maritime States in maintaining the fine naval battalions some of them now possess.

The breach of promise case of the gaiety girl, MIm Birdie Sutherland, against the duke of Marlborough's cousin; the Hon. Dudley Jdarjoribanks, is in full bloom, on the other elde. Dudley does not deny the actual promise to marry, was made verbally and also in writing, bat he pleads that tbe promise was rescinded by mutual consent. His father. Lord Tweedmou'th, had obtained an assurance from the young peosle that they would put off the mar- "rlr for two years, and bad himself declared that if, at the end of that tin, the lovers were still of the same mind and M1se Sutherland had proved her adaptability to the eoclal position that lay before her, he would 'raise, no objection match.

After this. Dudley" left for America, with ate mother end while in Canada, etaylng with his aunt, Lady Aberdeen, he wrote to hie fiancee, asking her to consider the engagement at an end, a letter from Lord Tweedmonth to the same effect 'reaching her about tbe. same time. It wa thereupon that Mis Sutherland decided to Institute her suit against the fickle heir of Lord Tweed-mouth. GUIDE BOOK TO NEW ORLEANS.
