| A Mandalay, India, dispatch of Tues
day says: One of the embankments of
the Irawaddy river burst in this city yes
terday. The break was 200 yards in
length and so rapid was the flow of water
that in few moments the whole district
was flooded from four to twenty feet deep.
The result will be the approach of famine
among the homeless population. Fifty
thousand persons are to-day homeless in
the city, their houses and possessions hav-
ing been either destroyed or submerged.
The number of persons drowned by the
sudden inrush of water is estimated at
1000.

lady hailing from Newark last Sunday,

The much abused Cutting has been
freed by the Mexican authorities, they
deeming it imprudent to detaln him any
longer in the prospect of fight with the
United States if they didn't release him.
Cutting has published an address to the
people of the United States, in which he
thanked the people of Ell Paso, the press
of Texas, and particularly Consul Bing-
ham, for interest taken and the assistance |
rendered him during his Imprisonment.
He says the main issue, that of the Mexi-
cans right to extra territorial Jurisdiction
over foreigners, is not at all settled by his
release. He winds up with the vilest
abuse of Mexico and her institutions. He
hopes that the United States will soon in
wade and conquer the whole country.
The Rev. Thomas E. Green, pastor of
the St. Andrews Protestant Episcopal
Church of Chicago, sees great evil in the
public schools there as now conducted.
He said from his pulpit on Sunday that,
just as sure as the secular tendency of the
schools prevailed, atheism and infdelity
would flourish in the land, leaving the in
svitable fruits of anarchy and communism.
He thought the secularization of the
schools largely responsible for the growing
evils of the social and business world.
Without Bible, without Christ, without
eligion, almost without morality, they
Gould not but breed atheism and wicked
less. Mr.. Green proposes to establish
,arochial schools in bis parish, to in some
Measure counteract the baneful influence
# the public schools.
