net session to-day was of two hours dura-
| ton. The principal subject under con-
sideration was with the relation to ap-
pointments of persons to office. After
confirming a few nominations. the
Senate in executive session this after
noon discussed for more than an hour
the order of business and agreed TO the
following arrangement: The Hawaiian
reciprocity treaty shall be laid aside until
Wednesday, on which day its considera-
tion shall be resumed. The Senate is to
meet tomorrow and proceed with
the consideration of the Pinch back
resolution with definite understanding

ports that at Hickory and White Castle
there is imminent danger of crevaSseS,
and that III Waterproof the new levee
has begun to cave in for distance Of
nearly 600 feet. At Omega and Milli-
kens Bend the levees are in danger of
breaking away, and at the Bonnet Carre
crevasse the water is running TO depth
of three feet, while Il volume
two feet deep is pouring
through Morgansea break. Gen. Thomp-
son saws that there need be no fear OF II
general food below the mouth of Red
river, as long as Bonnet Carre and
Morgansea remain open, but that above
those points some levees are bound to
give way under the pressure of high
water. The work of constructing one
million cubic yards of new levees, as
ordered by the Levee Company, is nearly
completed, but it falls far short of the
amount of reconstruction actually neces-
ssry.
