Sudden Stop in the Southern Ex-
cursion of the Pan-Americans.
WASHINGTON, Special.-The secretary OF
state to-day telegraphed Capt. ..Bourke, in
charge of the special train that was carry
ing the Pan-Americans on their Southern
tour, to return to Washington from Rich
mond. This was done because so few of the
delegates desired to make the excursion.
Thirteen OF the foreign delegates accepted
the invitation. but only two of them, DIR.
Martinez-Sylva of Colombia and DIR. Zegar-
ra of Peru left Washington with
the party. The others sent let
ters of regret giving various reasons for
withdrawing their acceptance Some were
detained by important business, some were
called to New York by telegraph, others
had decided to sail at once for their homes,
and the rest were i'll or too tired to make
the journey. Several promised to join the
excursion at Ricmond to-day, but We're un-
able to do so, and the secretary OF state de-
cided that the number of those going would
not justify the expense OF the journey. The
foreign delegates have now been in this
country for seven months and some of them
even longer, and are anxious to return to
their homes as soon as possible. They are
grateful ior the hospitality extended TO
them, and very much regret that they CAM
not accept it.

Mrs. Greeley,s Patience.

There are an endless number OF
stories hinging upon the peculiarities OF
the late Horace Greeley, most of them
having to do with his pennanship.
But we know next to nothing of his
home life and what Mrs. Greeley did
with the great journalist. While living
at Chappaqua he formed the habit ol
taking guests home with him unex-
pectedly, and, as may naturally
be supposed, much to the annoyaace.oi
his wife. Thackeray told with glee
how he walked into the parlor after
the placid Horace, and how the iourn-
alist tried to assure pleasant welcome
by greeting his better half with an
elusive smile, He had no sooner
dropped his hat on the center table
than she picked it up and threw it out
OF the winslow. thus mildly expressing
her disgust. Having eased her mind
she saluted the distinguished guest with
becoming gravity and all was well.-s

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
Senator Pettigrew to-day reported favor
ably the bill making appropriations aggre-
eating nearly 500, 600, 900 to enable the gov
ernment to carry out the agreements made
by the act of last year and the COM

had secured the passage of reso-
luton by the committee on Indian affairs
instrueting him to ask immediate action.
He did this and with amendments favored
by the committee the bill passed the senate.
The amendments are in the details of ex-
pending the money appropriated, none OF
the amounts having been changed ana
many of the promises made the Sioux by
the commission being abridged The bill
carries out the old treaty provisions CIV
ing them pay for the ponies taken
from loyal Sioux when Gen. Crook dis
mounted the entire nation, and provides
for the erection of school houses on the
reservation, In round numbers the gov
ernment proposes to appropriate 81, $3.50, 900
for these purposes, which is considered very
liberal, treatment. 1t is about all the In
dians esked for when they visited the
capitol last winter. One change in
the bill provides that portion OF
the schools shall be- industrial
schools which is following out the policy
of the Indian department.. The bill also
has a compulsory educational clause, under
which the secretary of the interior is to re-
quire the attendance of all children be-
tween six and sixteen years of age to attend
school at least nine months each year as
soon as the government fuTnises school
facilities. The secretary of war is instructed
to purchase cattle, grain and hay from the
Indians as far as practicable when laying in
supplies for the military posts on or near
the reservation.

resistible Flood.

BAYOU SARA, La, Special.-Aiter most
heroic struggle to save our city from the
flood we had to surrender to the great Faith
er of Waters at 1890 a. m. At that hour the
guards reported that the leyee had given
way at the loot of Fountain street. A gen
eral alarm was sounded and the
people responded promptly to the
call. This break. was closed, but
OH examination it was found that the rising
river was running over the front levee. All
that human efforts could do had been done.
and at last the solemn cry went up all
along the line 'Give up men; we ere gone,
and che confusion of the people can be bet
ter imagined than described. Every inl-
promptu boat and raft was brought into
requisition. Lanterns could be seen every
where, and the cries of men, women and
children attempting to save their effects
was a sight that was sickening. Not
house in town has escaped. The
home of Mayor Irvine, supposed to be the
highest is submerged. Our town is in
ruins-nothing but chaos and destruction
meets the eye at every view. To-day it
rained hard, which made the picture more
gloomy. The water is also running over a
large extent of the Pointe Coupee from the
Taylor levee, which has given way, and the
Fanny Yoor crevasse will probably prove
very serious one. The large levees from
the last accounts are intact, but things look
critical.
THE SITUATION DEPLoRABLE.
WASHINGTON, Special.-In accordance
with the request of Representative Coleman
of Louisiana, Secretary Proctor has trans
mitted to the house report of Quartermas-
ter General Robinson in regard to the con-
dition of affairs in the overflowed district of
st. James and Ascension parishes,
La, Gen. Robinson says that
in pursuance to orders he went to White
hall and Convent, st. James parish. Con-
vent is at the lower edge of the great Nlta
crevasse; Whitehall, above it, is further
back in the country He says the situation
is deplorable and hundreds of planters have
lost their crops, while thousands OF labor
ers will soon be thrown out of employment.
At Grande Point, where there were probably
sixty to eighty families, the people escaped
in skiffs and the whole precinct is under
water. Opposite the levee break at Nita
numerous poor whites and colored people
lost all but their lives. He recommends in
slant action tending to the relief of the suf-
ferers by the United States. There is liable
to be in St. James, st. John and Ascension
parishes total of 5000 people destitute
within month.

An over Abundance Badly Clogs
the Government Mac hinery.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
State Auditor Braden of Minnesota is of
the opinion tonight that the red tape of
the government ties things up very tightly
and that good deal of energy is needed to-
loosen it up so that the regular speed of the
machinery can be increased. On Saturday
morning last he talked with the officials of
the interior department about Minnesota
swamp lands, and got many promises that
reports and other documents would be at,
once looked up and gotten together;
so that they could discuss the issuing of
patents on large tracts with all data at hand.
Especial attention was to be given to the
Minnesota lands and some important ques-
tons settled. To-day Capt. Braden kept
his appointment, but found that in spite of
promises nothing had been done in the
case. Apparently nobody had given the
subject a thought after he left the depart
ment building Saturday, and so tonight
the swamp land questions are no nearer a
settlement than ever. The state auditor,
however, will remain in the city some days
yet, and give his energies to getting what he
is after and the department will hear from
him again tomorrow.
