THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD.
The River Manifesting a Disposition to
Change Its Channel

HELENA, Ark, March 14-The gauge this
morning shows forty six feet two inches, a
decline of one inch during the night. A
line Of skiffs has been put on between this
point, Jamestown and Oaksdale, Miss. and
flat-boats are delivering goods back through
the country inaccessible to steamers. The
Pacific and Southern express companies re-
sumo regular runs over the Iron Mountain &
Southern railroad, and business generally is
resuming. For the first time in many years
there is a swift current coming down shore,
indicating a disposition on the part of the
river to change its channel again in this
vicinity, and should this occur, the big bar
in front of Helena would be greatly dimin-
ished, if not washed entirely away, whilst
the old river, the present channel, will again
fill.

A LARGE A \ SUIT.
A Contest in Which Three Thousand Square
Miles of Land are Involved,

A Contest in Which Three Thousand Square
Miles of Land are Involved
WASHINGTON, March 4.-The case OF Will
liam C. Walsh, commissioner of the general
land office of the State of Texas, against
William Preston, argument on which was
concluded in the Supreme Court of the
United States to-day, is a suit which involves
the title to nearly 5000 square miles OF land
within the limits of what is known as
MERGERS Colony, situated in the State of
Texas, between the present city of Dallas
and the Indian Territory. along the head
waters of Trinity river. William Preston,
the appellee, who represents he joint stock
company known as the Texas As
sociation,'' claims the lands in controversy
under q contract made in 1874 between the
Republic of Texas and one Charles Fenton
Mercer, and he seeks to restrain the Land
Commissioner from issuing certificates for
these lands as If they were part of the public
domain, and thus invading the vested rights
and clouding the title of the Texas Associa-
ton. The Land Commissioner, on the other
hand, maintains that he is acting in the line
of his rightful official powers, for the reason
that the lands have been reannexed
by competent authority to the public
domain, and are, therefore, under his
exclusive jurisdiction and control. He APP
peals from the decision of the court below on
the ground, first, that the United States Cir
cult Court had no jurisdiction of the case,
because it is in effect a suit against the State
of Texas; second. that the colonization con-
tract of Jan. %, 1874, was void, because I'M
constitutional, and for fraud on the part of
President Sam Houston in making it; third,
that it is not proved that Mercer and his as
sociates induced 1856 families to settle in
said colony; fourth, that said colony's con-
tract was forfeited by reason of the failure
of Mercer to perform his covenants
hereunder; fifth, that it was forfeited by
subsequent legislation or constitutional or
dinance of the State; sixth. that it was can
celled and annuled by a Judgment rem
dered Oct. %, 1913, in a certain suit in Navarro
county, Tex. styled "a. c.. Horton, Acting
Governor, against c. F. Mercer and His I'm
known Associates" and, seventh, that the
claim of the Texas association is barred by
the statute of limitations and lapse of time.

THE FLOOD SUFFERERS.
Observations of Mayor Jacob-Diffsrence
Between Indiana and Kentucky.

EVANSVILLE, March 14.-Mayor Jacob, of
Louisville, passed through his city to-day on
his return from a relief trip down the river.
He says that the greatest suffering is among
the farmers, and not in the towns. The
farmers are thoroughly discouraged, and
many of them entirely destitute, particularly
in the neighborhood of Caseyville and Union
town. He says that there is great difference
between the two sides of the river in the
feeling of the people. On the Indiana
side all are cheerful and ready to
go to work and repair their losses.
In many instances they refused
all aid, telling the committee to use the
money at other places where the need was
greater. On the Kentucky side OF the river
the people are much more discouraged, and
are in detected spirits. He considers Casey
vile and Uniontown the most needy of all
the points he visited. AT these points it is
mostly farmers from the neighborhood who
are in the greatest need of relief. He says
the people along the river speak in the
highest terms of the prompt action of the
Indiana Legislature and the New York Her
aid relief fund.

The Interest VIII Not Be A%nticipated-No
Additional Call.
WASHINGTON, March 14-Assistant Secre-
tary French, who is now acting as Secretary
of the Treasury, said to-day, in response to
inquiries, that he did not think that the pres
ent state OF the public treasury would justify
an anticipation of interest on the called
bonds which will mature on the first of May
next, He said, also, that he would not call
another bond unless specially directed to do
so by Secretary Folger. The latter is known
to be opposed to making another call at pres
ent, and also to anticipating interest on the
bonds embraced in the last call if it can be
avoided. He will, however, accent the prop
osition of the comptroller of the State of New
York to surrender for redemption, on the 1st
of April next. So, 900, 900 of bonds included
in the last call, with the understanding that
the interest upon them shall ce ase on that
date.

GOULD, THE EX-KING.
The Great SpeculatpF a Physical Wreck,
who viii Never Again Rule the Street.

New York, March 14.-A gentleman init
mately acquainted with Mr.. Jay Gould said:
Some time before leaving, Mr.. Gould con-
suited a physician whose name has become
quite prominent in connection with the
Swedish-movement cure" That gentleman
told him, after a brief examination, that he
must let go of everything like business and
go away for a time, otherwise a breakdown,
physical and mental, was inevitable. Gould's
decision to leave the street and all
business for a time was not finally made
until he had visited his W
physician, who, 1 am told, fully agreed
with the conclusions and advice of
the other. That is how Gould came to
go away. He wanted to be allowed to break
off by degrees, but the situation was too
urgent, and besides, the doctors didn't be-
lieve he could do it successfully in that way.
He was always buoyed up by the excitement
of speculation, and lived on it. Nervous to
a degree, the condition of affairs wore on
him, and lately he suffered much from in
somnia, which is always an accompaniment
of nerve disorder"
"When do you think he will be able to re-
turn?' was asked.
THAT mus depend entirely on his health.
Should he regain strength in Florida or else
where, we may see him here again in the fall,
or even earlier. But one thing is certain: he
will never be the same Jay Gould who used
to rule the street, and whose very name was a
host in the speculative field. He will pay
less attention to the conflicts of the bulls
and bears hereafter, and some new and ener-
getic rival, with less brains probably, but a
stouter frame and better digestion, will step
into the shoes of the deposed monarch of the
money market. Who knows but it may be
Jim Keeue?'
