Attempts to Close the Breaks in Baton

Attempts to Close the Breaks in Baton
Rogue.
BATON ROGUE, La, April 25.-Both ends
of the Martinez crevasse below this place
have been secured and determined effort
will be made to close them. The water is
rapidly filling the country to the rear, and
made its appearance in Shannon's canal
this morning. The northbound Mississippi
Valley train, due here at noon yesterday,
reached here at Q o'clock last night. The
chances are the tracks of this road will be
submerged. The break at Lobdell's, the
old parish levee as it is called, eighteen
miles above here on the West Baton Rogue
side, is 800 feet wide. The people of Crosse
Tefe and West Baton Rogue are leaving AS
fast as possible and bringing their stock
and cattle over to the hills for safety. Only
hills or high places will escape the over
flow.
The Texas and Pacific steamer Wheeler
that has been doing relief work around
MorganZa has arrived Her commander,
Capt. Scoville. says: I'VE went as high as
the mouth OF Red river in search of all that
needed assistance. We brought down some
people, and the stock steamer Henry Marks
proceeded down the Atchafalaya TO see if
any assistance was needed there. So far
as can see there is need for any further
relief boats. The people refuse TO leave
their homes. SO far there has been 10 loss
of life reported, and the damage thus far
in the overflowed sections at and in the
vicinity of Morganza has been confined al
most exclusively to crops in the field.

The Doom Sealers.

SAN Francisco, Cal, April 25.-The earth
quake shocks yesterday morning caused
the greatest excitement among the Doom
sealers in this city and Oakland. In East
Oakland whole families rushed out of their
homes in their night robes shouting prayers
and ran toward high ground. A number
of women tainted. Tillie Jensen, Swede
girl, broke her leg in jumping from sec
ond story window. 1t Is not improbable
that the little earthquake will start the
whole excitement over the prophecies
again.
number of persons are reported to be
leaving their homes and the number of
passengers on outgoing trains is considera-
bly, greater than usual. John Phillipson
announced this morning he had had a rev.
elation in regard to the prophecy yesterday
morning. The shock, he said, was merely
the first symptom of the upheaval that is
sure to come He says God will not now
reveal the time for the destruction of the
cities and that the only way to escape is to
leave San Francisco and Oakland and
never return.

Exempting Labor from Taxation.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 25.-The discussion of
a petition addressed to Hon. Carroll D..
Wright, United States commissioner of
labor, occupied the Chicago single tax club
last night. The petition which was unani.
mously adopted asked that an investigation
be made with reference to change in the
system of taxation which would exempt all
the products of labor from direct or in
direct taxation, substituting these for
a single tax on the value Of land exclusive
of improvements. This inquiry is to be
made with view of establishing the prob
able effects of such a change having espe-
cial regard for effects in opening up natural
opportunities for labor and capital on
wages and business prosperity on the dis
tribution of wealth, etc. A letter was read
by President w. w. Bailey in which Com
missioner Wright intimated that he was
willing to undertake such an investigation.

General Statement Of the Condition of the
Business Of the Counry.

General Statement Of the Condition of the
Business Of the Counry.
NEW York, April 25.-R. G. Dun & Co. IS
Weekly Review of Trade says:
The markets are all influenced by the
prospect of an increase in currency, based
on silver. SILVER has advanced about &c
per ounce, wheat 24c per bushel, oats &c,
coffee and oil half cent each, cotton one
sixteenth, pork 25c per barrel, and stocks
have been stronger. The average of prices
for all commodities were over 1 per cent
higher from the 10Th to the 22d, but has
since declined as much.
Trade reports this week are favorable
except from the region affected by the al
most unprecedented floods in the Missis-
sippl valley. Three of the trunk lines are
interrupted, and their losses will be con-
siderable.
AT Galveston trade is dull, too much rain
having affected crops unfavorably, but real
estate is very active because of the pros.
pect of harbor Improvements.
In Florida business is very dull and no
encouraging signs are perceived, but at all
northern centers of trade the situation is
very satisfactory. The volume of business
is large and collections are fairly prompt.
and while the money market is easy and
fairly supplied the demand at most points
is but moderate.
At Boston fair weather has stimulated all
trade.

An Erring Daughter.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, April pa. N. Burks,
who resides in the Indian Territory, came
to the city last night in'search of daughter
who left home several weeks ago. Before
starting an elder daughter had received a
letter from her sister asking her to come to
Gainesville as she had good situation and
was making 500 week. After making
diligent inquiries he was unable to find the
daughter and placed the matter in the
hands of the police who found her in a
house of ill-fame in the western part
of the city. Burks went to his daughter
and implored her to give up her life of
shame and return home. This she con-
sented to do and came down with her
father, but before reaching the depot she
changed her mind and in spite of her old
fathers pleading and tears she returned to
the rendezvous of disgrace from which she
had so recently been taken. Her old heart
broken father returned to the depot and
boarded the train for home.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
AN OUTLET FOR THE FLOOD.

AN OUTLET FOR THE FLOOD.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Captain John
Cowdeu, promoter of the scheme to open
an outlet for the flood water of the Missis-
sippi river through lake Borgne, from a
point ten miles below New Orleans, which
he has been urging npon congress for the
past ten years, and others interested with
him, were given hearing today by the
senate committee on commerce. A bill
authorizing Captain Cowden and associ-
ates to proceed With the work, pending be-
fore the committee, provides that they
shall be paid the sum of 900 for every
foot of flood level of the river that shall be
reduced, the figures to be ascertained by a
commission appointed by the president,
which shall report to the secretary of war.
In case the outlet shall not be successful in
reducing the flood level, no payment is to
be made by the government.
Capt. L. 2. feathers an old steamboat
captain and pilot stated to the committee
his objection TO the levee system, which he
said had resulted in raising up the bottom
of the river. The Eads jetties, he said, had
not in his opinion improved navigation in
the river about New Orleans one bit.
Gen. j. r. Chalmers told the committee
| that in his opinion the levee and outlet
| system ought to be used in connection with
each other. One alone was not sufficient
| 10 deal with the difficulties of the situation.
Capt. Cowden addressed the committee
at length in support of the bill. He ex-
| hibited great number OF maps and draw
| ings to illustrate his assertions.
Chairman Frye-Do you believe with
Capt. feathers that the bottom of the river
has been rising with the levees2
Capt. Cowden-No more doubt of it than
| there is that am talking to you.
The captain named several places on the
| river where rocks that were known TO old
pilots were unknown to new ones, being
buried out of sight. At his old home,
boy, there is one now six feet high and
there is not as much water in the channel
as there was then. By the construction Of
the Lake Borgne outlet Capt. Cowden said
the flood OF waters on one quarter of an
area OF the Mississippi valley could be di-
verified from the present channel, affording
great relief to the inundated district.

TEXAS WEATHER AND CROPS.
Report of Condition of Crops Throughout the
State.

State.
GALVESTON, April 25.-The weekly crop
bulletin of the Texas State weather service
for the week ending April %, was issued
this afternoon. 1t is as follows: The rain
fall for the State was above the normal,
and from reports received from twenty four
stations has been generally and well dis
tributed. The temperature for the State
has been about normal. Sunshine is re-
ported below the normal, the greater
portion of the week being cloudy. The
seasonal rains during the week have
resulted benefcially to all planted
crops. Some sections in a measure felt
need of some more, especially in the
counties bordering on and adjacent to the
Rio Grande. The drouth there having been
of some duration. Stock of all kinds
were suffering from want of rain. Now
the water courses and holes are full and
will stand for some time. The temperature
and Sunshine conditions have been
most favorable for all growing
crops. Farm work, such as blowing,
may have been retarded on account OF rain
but the farmers feel amply repaid by the
| benefits accruing to the young and growing
ops.
Corn is in similar condition. Oats and
wheat will under the impetus given by the
rain render an average crop. Gardens are
in fine order with promise of good yield.
The fruit crop seems to have recuperated
from the effects of the freeze, and the trees
are budding nicely and with favorable con-
ditions will yield fair average crops. Farm
ers on the whole are sanguine and conf
dent.
