Every Lsvee in PointS Coupss Parish and
Many Others Broken -Thousands OF
stock Drowned, and Human life In Dan.
ger. III.
Bayou SARA, La, April 25.---Ruin
and desolation meet the eye on every
side in Pointe Coupee Parish. Not o
plantation is left above water, not o
levee unbroken; while hundreds Of fam
lilies are homeless. Thousands Of stock
have been drowned, and from meager
reports received from the interior it is
quite probable human life has been
sacrificed to the flood. All that remains
now are strips Of levees here and there
showing above the flood. The water
back of the levees Is SO deep now
that hundreds Of lives are in jeopardy.
The small stretches Of levee still stand
ing are crowded with men, women and
children, side by side, with mules and
COWS. At Colonel Claiborne's place,
several miles above Bayou Sara, the
water is waist.deep. At the base Of tho
Ievee in an old raised Clubhouse five
hundred negroes were found huddled
together, while hundreds Of head of
stock were standing in water up to their
breast. The water was gradually ris-
ing, and the blacks terror knew no
bounds. They were afraid for their
lives, and were piteously begging to be
taken to some place of safety.
Tuesday night while the Decotah
was tied up. at Allendale, where
several thousand feet of lumber
and five thousand sacks were put off, the
levee in front of John A. Lobdells place
broke and in ten minutes was sixty feet
wide and ten feet deep. The planters
were unable to do any thing owing to the
storm and rain prevailing at the time.
and looked helplessly upon the water as
it rushed through the break and mum
dated their magnificent plantations.
This crevasse will overflow thirty Of the
finest plantations on the river. 1t will
reach the Techo country several days in
advance Of the Mcrganza water, and Col
onel Rivers says when this water joins the
Morganza it will flood tho entire Atch-
afalaya. La Fourche and Teche coun-
tries. A family named Luke, who resid-
ed several miles above Bayou Sara, were
rescued yesterday morning. There
were fifteen people in the family, all
told. Monday morning they were pros
porous, being the owners Of large
plantation, well-equipped store and
over one hundred head Of stock. To-
day nothing remains above water but
the caves Of their residences. A crevasse
sixty feet wide broke directly in front
of the house Monday at noon, and the
family had a lively time to reach the
levee before six feet Of water covered
the place. The crevasse is now 400 feet
wide.

Five Employees Burned to Death and Many
More Injured
ALLENTOWN, Pa, April 25.-At $50
yesterday morning fire was discovered
in the dye-house Of the Unicorn silk
mill at Catasauqua. The flames spread
with remarkable rapidity and soon en-
veloped the entire building, which was
destroyed together with machinery, q
quantity Of fine silks, plushes, ribbons,
etc. The loss is estimated at $780,
600. Many employees had al
ready gathered in the mill to begin

thirty-five more were injured. Three
or four may die. Some Of the injured

Bethlehem. The cause of the fire is un-
known. Two other dead bodies have
been taken from the ruins, but are uni

THOUSANDS RESCUED
From the Spreading Waters Of the
Riotous Mississippi.
River Failing at Greenville. Miss, Leaving
ABORTION Of the Town.

BATON RoueE, La, April 28.-The
steamer Dakotah has reached here from
the overiowed districts and put of fve
or six hundred people and large guam
tity Of stock. The people put of were
mostly negroes, who found no difficulty
in getting employment. Several plan.
ters from the interior were here for the
purpose of getting labor for their plan
tations. The Dakotah Thursday went
up as far as New Texas Landing, rescu-
ing people and stock along the
route. The boat transported about
1,5O0 people to this side,
and could have brought many more,
but the people said the river was falling,
and they preferred to stay and take the
chances in Pointe Coupee. Captain
Mitchell said the break in Ola Morganza
at 5 o'clock Thursday evening was six
hundred feet wide, while the break in
Grand Levee just below was one thou
sand feet wide and washing rapidly, tho
soil being Of sandy nature. As these
levees are three miles in length, only q
comparatively small portion Of these
great works have been destroyed.
The boat rescued every living
thing from pig to the dogs and
chickens. A refugee was seen on
our streets yesterday with dog tied at
ono end Of a rope and rooster at tho
other. This was his only property. He
carried them alternately in his arms to
give them rest. The Dakotah re-
mained here until p. m, loading sacks
above town to carry to tho Martinez
crevasse. At this hour she left, carry
ing down fifteen thousand sacks Of
earth. The Pargoud is expected down
tonight to carry more sacks to the cre-
vase. When she gets through unload
ing the Dakotah will return to New Or
leans, as there is no longer any demand
for relief boat along the Pointe Coupee
front.
GREENvILLE, Miss, April .G.-A'ter
four days Of incessant raining the sun
came up brightly this morning. The
river fell three inches in the past twen-
ty-four hours, which is the first perma-
nent fall we have had since the begin
ming Of the high water, three months
ago. The same fall was recorded on the
back-water of the town and country, and
since morning the fall has been fully
two inches. Portions Of the streets
which have been covered for twentyfour
days are being uncovered by the reccd-
ing waters, which are watched with de-
light by the citizens. 1t is safe to say
that this fall will be followed by still
greater one in the next twenty-four
hours.

A General Surprise.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-Great sur
prise was occasioned by the failure of the
senate this morning to take up Quay's
resolution fixing an order Of business.
1t was not only a surprise to the public,
who filled the galleries, and to the news
paper men, many Of whom were on hand
to report the progress of the discussion,
but to many of the senators, who fully
expected the debate of yesterday to be
resumed. Senator Quay, whom asked
the reason for the postponement, said:
"some OF our friends thought It best not
to take 1t Up to-day. 1 shall, however,
call it up Tomorrow.
Further than this he de clined to say
anything.
Senator Henderson said It was felt TO be
done among the Republicans to do it In
private and not in public.
''That means a caucus,'' suggested
the reporter. ''Not necessarily, - he
responded, "but conference may be
held. -
Immediately after the tariff bill was
taken up and Senator Coke began read
ing a speech the Republican senators
deserted their seats and gathered in
knots to discuss the situation. What, IL
anything, will be done Is q matter OF
conjecture, but 1t is evident that an
earnest effort is being made to agree
upon an order of business that can be
supported by the whole Republican vote.

Republican Senators Settle Their
Differences in Caucus
Quay Resolution Amended Fixing Day
Next Session for Consideration
of the Election Bill
Vote on the Tariff Bill VIII Be Had About
Sept and Adjournment Reached
the Middle Of Next Month.
To Fight In Private.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-The Repub-
lican senators have decided not to wash
their dirty linen in public. This is the
reason why the Quay resolution did not
come up in the senate to-day. A plan is
arranged to come to an agreement in
conference. To this end caucus will
be held tonight at the residence of Sem
ator Mcmillan. An order of business
will be arranged that will be satisfactory
to the Quay, Hoar, Edmunds and Frye
factions. The new order will be sub
stantiaily the Quay resolution with an
amendment fixing day next session for
consideration of the election bill and pos
sibly date also for vote upon it. OF
course the Democrats will not vote for
this, but 1t will be q caucus agreement
and may therefore get the support of the
Republicans. It is not yet determined
whether TO insert a provision fixing
date for vote as 1t Is feared there ars
enough anti force bill senators to pre-
vent it. If this provision is not made
there will not be much chance of the
ultimate passage of the bill as the DEM
ocrats can easily talk it to death in the
three months session. 1t ia understood
that after to-night's caucus the Demo-
Gratis will be told OF the postponement OF
the force bill and consulted as to a date
for voting upon the tariff bill. 1t is
thought this can be had about Septem-
Der and an adjournment reached some
where about the middle Of the month.

He has no more faith in such measures of
political strategy now than he had when he
defeated the force bill fifteen years ago.
Then Hoar was a disciple of Blaine. Now
Hoar is frightened by Lodges senatorial
prospects, which are very bright, and he
has abandoned his conservative course
for rash and bitter partisauship.

Coke on the Tariff.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Coke

Special 10 the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Crowds as
sembled in the senate galleries at 10
o'clock to-day expecting 10 see a great
political battle. Quay WAS moving about
with uuusal activity, and the senate
chamber resembled a great political con-
Ventiou. Quay was bolstering up the
courage of the weakened and appeal
ing to his friends TO stand by him. Hoar
opened the discussion with long winded
partisan and tiresome haraugue. Mr.
Frye delivered q vigorous speech and dis
closed bad state of affairs IN the Re-
publican camp. The fight in which
there is the most bitterness is that among
the advocates of the election bill,
equally earnest in its support who differ
on the question of
THE CHANGE OF RULES.
He uncovered the caucus secrets with
great freedom, and the revelations made
were startling. He scored Edmunds
fearfully for sticking to the old methods
OF dong business, and said that coward
Ice never won battle or even friend.
The Vermont senator retorted that cow
N'NlN0 "Oi . Oohhio ASA ANOSSo -
man, insinuating that the sort of courage
Frye spoke of was that which assaulted
men and took their property. This was the
most dramatic and significant feature of
the discussion. The notice given by sew
era senators that there were many yet
who wanted TO make remarks on the
subject, threatens a long struggle.
Meanwhile great effort will be made
TO BRING ABOUT A COMPROMISE
by which q date may be fixed for vote
on the election bill at the next session.
The intensity OF the feeling between the
different factions does not give promise
OF harmony or agreement. The discus
sion after Mr.. Hoar's speech was prac-
tically an admission that the election bill
has been killed, and a dispute as to who
had done the killing. Some surprise
was manifested at Frye's speech and the
position he assumed, but he is now act
ing in accord with Blaine. The cause of
this conril,ation lies in the sudden growth
as a political power of Reed. This has
forced the trIumvirate which so long
controlled politics IN Maine to come to-
Rether again for mutual support and
common safety, and hence Blaine, Hale
and Frye are
PULLING TOGETHER.
