REsCUING TIE PERIsHING.
Government Steamers Save Plant

Drowning,

Drowning.
ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, April 5.-As
soon as the news of a break at Cat Fish
Point reached here the government
steamers Speed and Graham took sew
eral barges to that point and
brought away about $50 people
and their effects, also lot of
stock, etc. Capt. Tollinger, Of the gov

everything he can to save life and prop
erty. Those who wish to come will be
brought here by the governments boats.
and quarters provided for them. Far
ties who visited the scene OF the dlsas-
ter to-day state that the torrent coming
out of the opening has about spent
its force. Although this is much
the largest break that has
yet occurred on the Mississippi
side, the territory that Will be affected
by it will be comparatively small. Out
side of the Catfish Point peninsula the
water flom this crevasse will reach but
little territory that was not already in
undated by the crevasse at Mound,
Huntington and Offutts, but the de-
struction Of property in this little
peninsula is dreadful. The planters
who owned the plantations around
Catfish Point are almost ruined.
1t is estimated that over
a hundred houses have been washed
away. and there is very little hay, corn
or planting seed left. The planters
will be so badly crippled that they will
meet with considerable difficulty in
making a crop even if the water re-
cedes in time. The food has left al
most nothing. The whole bend was
filed with wateras high as that in the
river within few hours after the break
occurred. To-day the water broke
through the levee at Eutaw landing in
the lower end of the bend, and it is now
running back into the river. 1t is
thought that several lives were lost.

Mormon Convicts ut Sioux Falls
Tired OF Imprisonment.

Special to the Globe
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., April 5.--An ap-
plication for wait of habeas corpus
was made before the United States dis
trict court in this city to-day for the re-
lease of twenty Mormon prisoners, who
were sentenced to imprisonment in
Sioux Falls penitentiary, most of them
year ago. In their application they
argue that they were sentenced to be
confined in the United States peniten-
tiary at Sioux Falls, and by the omnibus
bill their place of confinement was
abolished. and owing to the fact that no
such place as the United States peni-
tentiary Of Sioux Falls now exists, they
petition that cause should be shown
why they should not be given their lib
erty. Money has been sent from Salt
Lake City to fight the case to the end.

doubt of the passage of the Lind bill,

court at st. Paul, Minneapolis. Winona,
Fergus Fails, Mankato and Duluth.
Senator Davis, he says, has been del

head and CroOkston to the bill going
through in its present form. but will
make no effort to have it changed. In
regard to the proposed public build
ing at Fergus Falls, he says the
senators and Representative Comstock
agree that it would be unwise to push
the matter, on the ground that in few
years a large appropriation can be got
easier than small one now. He also
says there is not much chance of the
passage of the bill restoring a United
States land office to Fergus Falls. In
his opinion Senator Davis is looking
forward to reelection next winter
with reasonable degree Of confidence,

Incendiary Blaze in the New York
Custom House.

NEW YORK, April 5.-A fire occurred
this evening in the room on the fifth
floor of the custom house which is used
for the storage of drawback vouchers,
ledgers, etc. The origin of the fire is a
mystery. The flames were observed in
time to prevent much damage to the
building. The books and papers were
scorched, but it is believed that no
records were entirely destroyed. The
firemen very freely expressed their be-
lief that the fire was an incendiary one.
Indeed, they claimed that there was no
other way to account for it. If their
opinion is correct, the incendiary must
have aimed at the destruction of certain

practically indestructible by fire.

sational developments are likely to
occur soon in the famous Beecher-Har-
ned case, in which several prominent
ex-officals of the Port Townsend Gus
tom house are charged with dishonesty
in the government service. The prose-
cution of these officials began duriug
the Cleveland administration and
was continued by the treasury de-
partment after the incoming of the
Harrison administration. 1t is alleged
that number of prominent officials,
including the present attorney general
of the United States and one Of the
Oregon senators, are making an effort
to have the prosecution of Harmed,
Beecher and their colleagues dropped.
EX-United States Attorney White, of
Seattle, discloses information which Sc
rously reflects upon the action of At
torney General Miller. In the language of
Mr.. White, that distinguished member of
President HareiSon's cabinet has put
his foot in itn While w. II. White
was United States attorney for the terri
tory of Washington Attorney General
Miller wrote him, White says, asking
him to drop the prosecution of the
Harned-Beecher case, alleging that they
were being politically prosecuted.
While in Washington about month
ago Mr.. White learned at the treasury
department that Attorney General
Miller had requested that the
Prosecution Be Dropped
without ever consulting Secretary Win
dom, of the treasury, under whose di-
rectiOn it had progressed thus far. The
treasury officials we're surprised to learn
of the attorney generals action. Mr..
White claims he has papers to sub
stantiate these facts, and publicity is
likely to be given in the near
future. Circumstances indicate that
even the president is inter-
ested in the dropping of the
prosecution of the Harned-Beecher
cases, as Scott has n brother-in-law
who is superintendent of the govern
ment building now being erected at
Port Townsend, and is, it is claimed,
making strenuous efforts to assist the
attorney general in getting them
dropped. United States Attorney p. ii.
Winston says he has been written to by
Attorney General Miller regarding
those cases. Miller asked him to i'll
yeStigate them and prosecute if he
thought proper. They are not entirely
political cases, though considerable
