THE PAN-AMERICANs.


 Report of the Committee on Commer. cial, Postal and Tele graph COmmuni- cations.
 WASHINGTON, D. O., March 10.-At the Pan American conference to-day g report was received from the committee appointed to consider the best means of extending and improving the facilities for commercial, postal and telegraph communications be- tween the several countaies that border upon the Gulf of Mexico and the Carrihean sea. The committee says the telegraphic service meets all requirements and is to be considered satisfactory. Cable communication is by two lines from the United States to the re- publics of the south. Present rates make it practically impossible to do business over these lines and the committee recommended that steps be taken to secure a moderate tariff.
 This failing, then charters should be granted to independent cable companies, the maximum tolls to be fixed in the charters. | The report shows the line of steamers con- meeting the several countries and an appen. dix furnished by the postofice department gives the amount of mail transported and the compensation paid by the United States during the year ended June 30, 1889. This shows five line to Mexico, seven lines to Gen tral America, three lines to Columbia, two lines to Venezuela, two lines to Hayti and four lines to Brazil.
 The total amount paid for transportatinl United States mails during the last fsca ] year was $58, ,208. The committee says tha plans have been discussed by capitalists ii this country for the establishment of direo j and rapid steamship service between Tampa Fla, and Mobile, Ala. ,and the ports of Colon Port Lima Costa Rica) and Greytown, ,Nics rsgua. Such a line would shorten the tim of transportation of mails from New York ( Chicago to Colon to six and half days, th , steamers making stoppaRes en route at Po Lima and Gr6 Iwn.

A HORRIBLE FIND.

The Decomposed Body of . Woman
 Found in . New York Cellar-Part
 of . Letter Found In Her Pocket.
 NEW YORK, March 10.-The partly deoom- posed body of . we'll dressed woman about twenty-five years old was found day in the cellar of No. Eldridge street. The head was cut and bruised and tied up in cloth. A pair of gold rings were in the ears. The murder was probably committed several days ago. The features indicate that the woman was of the Hebrew race. The whole body is terribly bruised as if by kicks. The nose and jaw are broken and the ekull fractured. Shreds of human skin clinging to the finger nails indicate that the woman fought hard for her life.
 The beginning of letter was found in the woman's pocket. It contained the words 'February 1s, 1890. My dear Freda." This was written in Hebrew. The remainder of the letter had been torn off. The upper part of the house was some time ago occupied by Hebrew school. The janitor was Isaac Jacobs, the man who on February 16 shot and killed Herman Rogosinski, badly wound cd Mrs. Rogosinski, shot at their son and finally committed suicide. Jacobs had very bad reputation in the neighborhood aud was said to have had trouble with several women The police think he was the murderer.

THE WORLDS FAIR.

A Delegation From Chicago in Gem
 sultat1on With the subcommittee
 Some of the Points In she Joint
 Production.
 WASHINGTON, March 10.-The committee of Chicagoans who have been in consultation with members of the worlds fair committee for several days past to-day presented com pleted bill providing for holding the fair at Chicago to Messrs. Hit and Springer of the subcommittee in charge of the bill. The bill is really the joint production of the ideas of the sub committee and the Chicago dele gation. While it contains some changes rad icalIy different from the original bill it is provided that there shall bs a corporation under the laws of the state of Illinois with power to elect its own officers and to have control of all receipts and disbursements of moneys subscribed. This corporation will have power to select 6 suitable site and erect buildings.
 These buildings are to be delivered to . government commission to consist of two commissioners from each state and territory, one to be republican and one . democrat, these commissioners to be nominated by the governors of the states and appointed by the president. The local corporation is to have executive control of the fair, while the gov ernment commissioners are to allot space to exhibitors and appoint judges of award, who shall have control of the prizes. etc., to be given at the expense of tho United States.
 The date of holding tho fair is left blank in the bill and will be decided on at the next meeting of the full committee. The Chicago delegation told the sub committee that this was a matter that they were not concerned about as Chicago could be ready to hold the fair in 1899 ss we'll as at any other time. They agreed, however, to leave the point for the action of the committee, several members of which are in favor of holding the fair in 1893 and celebration in 1899.
 When the corporation assures the president that it has at hand $5, ,000, ,000 capital, and that $5,000,000 additional can be had il necessary, he is to appoint the government commission which will proceed to Chicago and make preliminary arrangements fo, holding the fair. The section providing fol a government appropriation of $1,5O0, ,00( was not changed.

 An Unexpected Disaster-The Tensas
 Basin at. she Mercy of tho Waters
 Highest Point on Record Reached
 at New Orleans-The Father of
 Waters Rising From Cairo to she
 Gulf.
 ARKANSAS C1rY, Ark. March 10.-Ths levee broke at sappington Hoop, six miles above here, at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The crevasee was forty feet wide and still widen- ing at the time of the last reports received last night. The break occurred at place where the levee was built largely of sand. The water backed @ foot and half, being clear up to the top of the levee at the time of the break.
 The break was a complete surprise, there being no appearance of weakness in the levee up to within few minutes of the hour when it occurred. Within twenty four hours the whole of the river front from the crevasse to the Louisiana line will be flooded. The whole of the Tensas basin of Louisiana, consisting of four or five parishes, will unquestionably be completely submerged.
 The river here is rising rapidly and the people are panic stricken.
 ST. LOUIS, March 10.-Reports from the lower Mississippi are to the effect that the flood in that stream has become alarmingly high sll along the coast; that the, levees are breaking at various places, and that there is great apprehension that large section of the country on both sides of the river will be in- undated. Within twenty-four hours the whole of the river front, from the crevasse above Arkansas City to the Louisiana line, will be flooded. The whole of the Tensas basin of Louisiana, consisting of four or five parishes, will undoubtedly be covered by water. The river at Arkansas City is forty- seven feet fve-tenths on the gauge, four- tenths above high water mark, and is still rising. The present outlook is that there | will be at least foot more of water, and that there will be heavy loss of property. NEW ORLEANS, March 10.-The river in front of the city has passed up over the high | water line of 1874 and now is at the highest point on record. It is rising from Cairo to the gulf. News was received here last even- ing of break which occurred in the upper end of Chicot county, Ark. The river was a foot and half below the levees at the place of the break. but the levees were built of sand, which caved suddenly. The crevssse is now forty feet wide and growing deeper and wider. The whole river front from the cIevasse to the Louisiana line will undoubt- edly be flooded within twenty-four houre, and also the whole of the Texas and Louisis- na basin, including five parishes. The height of the water is unprecedented from Arkansas to New Orleans.

A Squeeze in Reading.

NEW YORK, March 10.-The big squeeze in Reading to-day is said to have been caused by the fact that l. & s. Wormssr, who have been acting as agents for the bull pool, were called upon by the pool to give the numbers of the certificates they claimed to control. No satisfactory answer being given, it is said the pool transferred its interests to Moore & Schley and called on the Wormsers to trans- fer all pool stock to that firm. The Wormsers are said to have been short 30, 900 shares for the pool and 3o,0OO on their own account, and were forced to enter the market as heavy buyers. Two per cent. was paid for the use of stock for one day, and there was an ad- vance of AZ from Saturdays close.

COLLIERY EXPLOSION.

Three Hundred Miners Entombed in . Mlne-Al Believed to Have Perished.
 LONDON, March 10.-A terrific colliery ex- plosion occurred to-day in the Morsa colliery in Glanmorganshire, Wales, which it is feared will be attended with much loss of life. One hundred miners are entombed and all communication with them is impossible for the present. It is feared that all of them have perished.
 Later advices from the Morsa colliery are that three hundred miners were entombod, but that many have been rescued from the workings nearest the main shaft. Most of those taken out are unhurt, but several have received fatal injuries. Heavy falls of rock prevent the explorers from reaching the more remote workings. The choke damp is spreading and it is estimated that at least one hundred and sixty lives have been lost.
 Eight bodies. shockingly mutilated, have been recovered from the mine. Great excite ment was caused at the pit by a rumor that appeals for help could be heard. "he res cuers are constantly succumbing to the ef- fects of tke gas.
