Difficult to Repair Breaks.
NEwELLToN, La, March 5-Your
correspondent has just interviewed w.
j. Hardee. United States assistant en-
ginerr ps to the condition of the leVees
in the upper part of the par
ish, and obtained the follow
ing facts; The old Point Pleas
ant leVee, three fOuTths of nile above
Buck Ridge Landing, has slOughed on
the land side at the point where the
levee crosses the slough, There were
about fourteen feet of water standing
against this levee on the front, and it
is surrounded by several feet of water
on the land side. which makes it quite
difficult to obtain dirt to repair
the dangerous points. Dirt cannot be
had at a less distance than 300 yards.
There are some who regard this levee
as being in very dangerous condition,
but Mr.. Hardee assures your CORES
pOndent there is no immediate danger.
He has seventy-tive men at work and all
necessary material, and thinks this point
will be secure by tomorrow night.
There is mile and half Of level
below Buck Ridge that is quite low, and

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The presi-

notice:
To Whom 1t May Concern: The lands
known as The Cherokee strip are not open to
settlement. The bill pending in congress
and intended to provide civil government
for the country known as Oklahoma does
not provide for opening the Cherokee
strip, or outlet, to settlement, and has not as
yet received the vote of the two houses OF
congress or the approval of the president.
The entrance of settlers upon these lands is
unlawful. and all persons are hereby warned
against entering thereon. When these lands
shall become open to settlement prompt pub
lie notice will be given of that fact; but in
the meantime it is my duty to eschide all per-
sons therefrom, and those who enter unlaW
fully will only involve themselves i'll I'M
profitable trouble, as they wilt be lmmedi-
ately removed. BENJAMIN HARRISON.

VICKsBURG, Miss, March 15.-A tele-
gram from President f. l.. Maxwell It
Talluiah received at 10 o'clock tonight
states that the break in the Raleigh
levee. which occurred at 5 o'clock this
evening, is now 400 feet wide. Mr..
Maxwell also requested that the resi-
dents of Louisiana in Madison and Ten
SaS parish be notified by telegraph and
to warn them of the serious results.
The water from the break will go di-
Tectly back about ten miles into Bear
lake, and thence by two outlets into the
Tensas river, one directly west from
the break, and the other through Lake
One aud ROundaway bayou into Bayou
Vidal and Mill bayou into Tensas
river, in the western portion Of TenSas
parish. At Old Richmond about TWO
miles west of Tallulah, Busway bayou
runs into and from that into Round
away bayou. The water will here flow
into Bushaway and from that into Wal
nut bayou. where it will
OVERFLOW THE GARDEN SPOT
of Madison parish, and will seek the
l0wlands in Diamond point and the
lower portion of the parish. Much Of
the water will drift southward over the
rich farming district back of Omega
and MilIikens' bend. and will also find
its way into the headquarters OF Walnut
bayou by that route. The extensive
plantations of the M SSrS. Richard
son and the famous Ashley panta-
tion Of Mai. G. G. Waddill will doubt
less be inundated. That portion of the
Y. S. &y p. railroad between Tallulah
ana Tensas river Will get the full force
of the flood. The break is about thirty
FIVE miles above on the Louisiana side,
and about the parish line OF Madison
and East Carroll. Later telegramS state
that the volume of water going south
from the break is about 400 feet wide
and an average depth of eight feet.

Invaders of the Strip Retrace

KIowA, Kan, March 15.-The laugh
is on the ''sOoners." That is an eX
preston of the sentiment with which the
presidents proclamation was received
here. The boomers who had the good
sense to refrain from joining yester-
days invasion are doing the laughing,
while their hot-headed companions,
some of them already returning disap-
pointed, look upon the matter as any
thing but laughable. Those who staked
claims just over the line have already
returned to Kansas. and will await
patiently, as near their claims as posi-
bic, the formal opening of the strip.
A third, perhaps. of the whole num-
Der of the boomers who crossed
the line yesterday have already re-
turned or are on their way TO this place.
They come struggling back with good
deal of their impetuous energy lost, to
await. as near their prospective claims
as possible, the formal opening of the
strip. AS yet no military force has ar
rived to eXpel the settlers, but it is re-
ported that troops are on their way
from Fort Supply and will arrive here
tomorrow,

BISMARCK, N. d., March 15.-The
day has beena busy one in the matter
of passing bills. There was very little
of sensational nature in the proceed
ings to-day, the chief contest in the
house being over the bill regulating the
salaries OF the state officers. The salar-
les were given general cut to Sl,500,
the governors being the only one placed
above that amount, the amount in his
case being fixed at $500. The railroad
commissioners were reduced to $1,000.
The bill appropriating money for the
payment of the expenses of the investl-
eating committee was indefinitely post
poned, as was the bill compelling state
institutions that burn coal to use the
native coal. Attorney General Good
win has written denial OF the state
ment that he furnished the Pioneer
Press with information against Repre-
sentative Stadler.

O'clock this morning the Queensbury
span of the old QueenSburyM MOreau

it. Nothing but the flooring was left,
and the supports had been put under

men were taking away side beam on
the upper side when the supports gave
way. The whole span rolled over and
fell into the falls below. Nelson San

below. Before assistance could reach
him he rolled over into the river. He
was seen to rise twice, but was drowned.

with three men cinging to it. The body
of George Carr, veteran South Glenn's

is prospect that the height of the
rise from the Arkansas and White
rivers will pass this point be-
fore the crest of the rise from
the Ohio reaches us. AS long as it does
not rain and these places i'll the levee
which may be too low can be raised
faster than the waters rise. as they will
be limited in numLer and extent, so
that unless some terrible storm or hid
den weakness in the levees causes
crevaSSe. there is nothing To
prevent our holding the leveeS
through this hish water without
break. Even should we nave further
rise of foot or two it will require the
strcJest vigilance and untiring energy
to preserve so long line for SO long
time, but the people are wide-awake to
the danger, and feel very conf
dent of a successful termination Of
the struggle with tile waters. The
never has been any rational cause for
alarm at Greenville, or even at Mayer
