TO BUILD l.EVEES.
Congress viii Appropriate Be.
tween Three and Four Millions
To Strengthen the Banks of the
Mississippi.

This is the Decision of New York Herald
Special Correspondent in Washington
After Careful Investigation---PIant ers
Along the River Need Have No Further
Uneasiness.
New YORK, May 21.-A Herald spe-
cial from Washington says:
After careful investigation in both
houses it may now be stated definitely
that the Fifty-irst congress will appro
pirate for levee improvements on the
Mississippi from 81, ,OOO, 900 to "a, 600, ,0O0
The appropriations will be made in
time to allay alarm and to save some
valuable property. There need be no
further uneasiness ON the part of plant
eTs and others residing along the great
stream. l have been advised all along
that the measure would probably be
adopted, but elements of doubt entered
into the matter and prevented so posi-
tive statement as that given above.
This statement is not made upon the
simple basis of kind things said to the
visiting delegation nor upon the enthu-
siasm of the friends of the Mississippi in
either house of congress, but is founded
on comparison of views and informa-
tion derived from several sources. There
will be strenuous opposition in both
house and senate to the measure, not
withstanding the ease with which the
81 10000 joint resolution passed the
former body, but the levee system will
cCme out more than conqueror.

has given every feature Of the case close
study, and proceeded according to the
suggestion as to the action needed by
congress to enable each state to deal
with the liquor question as is sees fit.
AS result, the bill and title were
amended and reported in the following
form:
"A bill to limit the effect of the regu-
lations Of commerce between the several
states and with foreign countries in Ger
tain cases. That no state shall be held
to be limited or restrained in its power
10 prohibit, regulate, control or tax the
sale, keeping for sale or the transporta-
ton, as an article of commerce or other
WISE to be delivered within its own
limits, of any fermented, distilled or
other Intoxicating liquids or liquors, by
reason of the fact that the same have
been imported into such state from be-
yond its limits, whether there shall or
shall not have been paid thereon any tax,
duty, import or excise to the United
States

Home Patronage 81 american Art.

WASHINGTON, May 1T is not gen.
orally known that Washington is grow
ing as an art center, and is already
proving to be good agency for Ameri-
can artists The Corcoran art gallery
exists for the promotion of American
art, but does not provide salon for the
benefit of our home artists. Recently
Mr. V. Fischer, an art dealer here, took
things in hand and in three exhibitions,
where only American artists exhibited,
the sales were prompt and the prices
realized were liberal Among the pur-
chasers were Senator Stanford, Con-
gressman Flower, Mrs Harrison, Speak
er Reed and Mrs. Hit. In fact, most of
Washington's representative citizens
were heavy purchasers, and in this way
promoters and supporters of home art.

Peter Jackson Unable to KNOCK Out Ed
ward smith in FIVE Rounds.
CHICAGO, May 81 Six thousand peo-
pie witnessed rattling five-round
match, with four-ounce gloves, between
Peter jackson, the colored Australian
champion, who is to fight John L. Sui
livan, and Edward Smith, the champion
of Colorado. Much interest was taken
in the question of Smiths ability as
against Jackson's, owing to the fact that
the Colorado man has been trained by
Sullivan's noted helper, Muldoon, the
wrestler, and to the further fact that
Smith recently knocked out Mike Cleary
in one round.
Smith made decidedly good showing
against the big colored man, standing
up the five rounds without suffering a
Knockout. Smith appeared timid in
the first round, and was foored three
times, but in the succeeding rounds raj
lied, and, though at a disadvantage
from Jackson's long reach, landed re-
peatedly on Jackson's jaw and wind.
Both men were groggy when the COM
bat ended. Muldoon offers to back
Smith for $1,000 to finish against any
man in the world, barring Sullivan, Nc
Auliffe and jackson.

sUBTERRANEAN FIRES.
All Work Suspended at the Ninglewood
Mine, at North Lawrence

Mine, at North Lawrence.
MIssIILoN, o., May 21.-Fire has con-
troll Of the Minglewood mine at North
Lawrence, seven miles west of this city.
The regular daily rule of the miners be-
fore quitting work is to fire shots with
powder cartridges. which brings down
the coal to be loaded in mine cars the
following day. When the men entered
the mine last Friday morning two of
the rooms were found ON fire. The
flames have steadily advanced since and
now hold possession. The mine being
perfectly dry renders the situation more
alarming, and the direst possible, and
the probable money damage is simply
appalling.
The mine is the largest in the valley,
employing 800 men, and all work has
been suspended All the entries and
rooms being filled with smoke prevents
all efforts at suppressing the trouble
from fear Of suffocation. A force of
fifty men were put on duty Monday to
check its progress, if possible, but the
squads can do but little, being unable TO
combat with the smoke more than a
few minutes at time. The slope ex-
tends three-quarters of a mile under
ground.

ThE COLOR LINE
Causing Trouble In the Louisville Grand
Army Posts.

New YoRK, May 81. "A special from
Louisville to The Herald says the color
line is causing trouble in the Louisville
posts of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. As result the posts have refused
to unite in Decoration Day services.
The trouble grew out Of the selection Of
department commander Capt.
Winter, of Louisville, was elected at the
encampment few weeks ago by ma
jority Of 0 votes, and it is charged that
he got his election by making pledges to
the colored troops. White veterans have
become so stirred up over the matter
that movement is now ON foot to force
the negroes into posts Of their own, and
to prevent their admission 10 the meet
ings of the whites.

sNch Is the Feeling in the Army and It
Usually Goes.
LONDON, May 91.--St. Petersburg ad-
vices represent the feeling Of the Rus
sian army as strongly in favor Of war,
not with anybody in particular. but with
somebody. The only public opinion in
Russia is that of the army, and despotic
as the czar is in theory, he, like his pred
ecssors, finds 1t difficult, if not iinpossi-
Bile, to resist the army influence.
Getting Troops Together.
Coupled with the maneuvers near the
Austrian border, which will draw to-
gether an immense force of troops from
different parts of the empire, is the hos
tile tone assumed by Russia toward the
porte, and the virtual threat Of an in
vasion of the Turkish dominion in Asia,
should Russian demands remain unsatis-
fled. These circumstances, and the agi-
tation melted by Russia in Servia and
Bulgaria, arouse great anxiety as to the
probable turn of events IN the near
future.
Commercial Treaty with Persia.
The Novoye Vremya, Of st. Peters
burg, states that the new Russian am
bassador to Persia will conclude new
commercial treaty between Persia and
Russia. This, 1t says, has become neces-
sary as every year over 100,000,000
roubles worth of English cotton goods
with Persian trade marks are imported
into s-Caspian~Russa.

sTANLEY,s RELICS.

The Explorer Greatly Annoyed by Relic
Hunters and Curiosity Seekers.
LONDON, May 21.--Stanley is suffering
from the arrogances to which all men of
great prominence have to submit, in the
matter Of relic hunters and curiosity
seekers. There is also strong compe-
tition among managers Of exhibitions
and museums in the effort to gain pos
session of some of the effects belonging
to the African expedition. Stanley has
received no less than forty-two applica-
tons from wax work proprietors, etc,
for the old suit in which he was clothed
when first reached by Europeans.
Indeed, some enterprising managers,
among them New Yorker, even sent
agents to Zanzibar. Their efforts
have all been in vain, how
ever, as the explorer donated what
ever he would spare to the Stanley exhi-
bition under his patronage in London.
Stanley's officers and companions have
been subjected to similar solicitations,
though, of course, in lesser degree.
Stanley has suggested to the commit
tee in charge of the Stanley exhibition
that the money raised be devoted to the
equipment of steamer to ply ON the
Victoria Nyanza in the service and for
the benefit Of the tribes in that region.

In answer to the communication in the
last JouRsAL 10 regard to the school law
it is but fair to say that there is some cause
for complaint on the part OF the poorer
townswbich might be remedied by raising
q portion OF the school tax by . county or
state tax, and as II is the policy OF the
state to provide the means OF ed ucation for
al its Inhabitants we think such modifi
cation OF the law would be fair and equit
able.
The commission which was appointed
to investigate the matter before the new
law was passed found that one cause for
the decadence OF the schools was poor
teachers. To remedy the difficulty the law
was framed TO demand higher qualifica
tions on the part OF teachers, and it was
expected that this would for time, cause
= scarcity Of teachers and higher scale OF
wages. This has happened, but the dif-
iculiy is not likely to DO OF long duration
II was expected that teachers would take
more pains to fit themselves for service
and this result is being attained, although
1t must necessarily take time before the
the full benefit Of the change 10 the law
is secured, Though there may be e1cep.
lions yet on the whole we think there is
already considerable improvement, and il
the law Is continued with some slight
notifications We think the improvement
will be much greater 10 the future Less
than two years gives hardly time for fat
test OF the law.
