NEW ORLEANS. May S.-The distribution
of rations out Of the S150,Go0 voted oy Con
gress for the relief Of the overflow sunerers
on the lower Mississippi Is already causing
trouble. Governor Stone OF Mississippi mas
refnsed for his state, to accept any aid what
ever from the federal government, declaring
that it is not needed. The governors OF
Louisiana and Arkansas have accepted gov
ernment aid for their states, and the ratlons
are being distributed to the negroes. Thls
has the effect Of inducing laborers on the
Mississippi side of the river to cross over In
to Louisiana and Arkansas, where they can
get free provisions. Government aid has al
ready demoralized labor in Baton Rouge, and
the planters there find themselves short OF
field hands. The impression Is very strong
hare that more harm than good has been
done by the assistance of the federal govern
