THE NITA CREVASSE.
Result-Damage TO Fish and Oyster
Industry Great.


Special to tie Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La, May 30.-The
Nita crevasse in St. James parish threat
ems to annihilate important fisheries of
Mississippi sound, of the gulf coast of
Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama IN
less promptly closed, and has already
proved more destructive than the some
old. Water pouring through the break
is twenty five to forty feet deep and two
thirds Of mile wide, and runs through
St. James and st. John parishes, spread
ing out iu the form of a fan and cutting
of two of the most important railroads
into New Orleans, the Mississippi Valley
aud Illinois Central. 1t has also filled
up Lake PontchartraIn with river water,
not only driving out salt water
fish but causing the lake TO
overflow the banks and flood
the river districts of New Orleans. This,
however, is not the worst injury done,
for the damage is only temporary,
whereas in Mississippi sound 1t is perma-
nent.
Since the closing of the Bonnie Care
crevasse the oyster industry has become
most important on the gulf coast.
Oyster reefs have been planted and cul-
tivated and oysters produced are of
high quality. Some six or eight oyster
eanneries have been established at
Biloxi, Mississippi City and other points
on the coast, and thousands of
cans are shipped to the interior.
The industry promises to be severely
crippled if not destroyed by the crevasse.
Muddy river water filled with sediment
as Pouring into Lake Pontchartrain and
the&ce into Mississippi sound, burying
ofsters under mounds of mud and sand.
scent examination has shown that
Thousands of oysters are already de-
stroyed-smothered to death-Rnd that
the greater portion OF the oyster beds
threaten to be ruined unless the erevasse
is closed at an early day. Even as it is
it viii take oysters two or three years to
recover from the dose of mud and fresh
water they have had. The crevasse has
also driven pompano, Spanish mackerel
and other salt water flsh from the sound
and has caused very great damage along
the entire coast.

Correspondence Hamburg Qowa) Democrat.
have just spent three weeks looking
over the situation in Texas. I have
visited the principal cities in the state,
and think 1 can give q few points
to the tourist. If you expect to invest
your money what 1 say here may be
of benefit to some one. would not have
you think that Texas Is all flowers, for
there is the thorn of discomfort and dis
Rppoiutm ent here as elsewhere, but
when 1 take into consideration the many
advantages to be found in Texas, the
climate, soil and its varied productive
ness, 1 must say that it is the best coun-
try on Gods green earth. They grow
profitably all the cereals of the North
west, also many plants not known in q
cold climate. Cotton is the most pro-
duotive staple grown in the world-all
nations use it. No government has ever
leeislated against the importation of
cotton.
Let me give you a few figures in regard
to the production of cotton. A fair crop
is half bale per acre; good crop is one
bale per acre. In some places more is
raised. At ten cents per pound. 500
pounds per bale, you have $50 per acre.
These are facts, aud yet there are mill
lions of acres of the virgin soil of this
great empire that invites you TO come.
The farmer need not confine himself to
the cultivation of cotton, as he can raise
all the cereals raised in the gram
growing Northwest. Any man
that can cultivate and take
care of grain crop. can take care of
cotton crop. If you go to Texas you will
go to Fort Worth. as all roads go there.
You will find a city of 90, 900 people,
electric motor cars, waterworks, also 200
artesan wells, furnishing the best and
pur st water. l am not much in favor
of going to q city for health, but the
sanitary condition is SO perfect, the
water so pure that would not be afraid
to go to Fort Worth for health. The
people are aggressive and progressive.
Just think OF q city hardly in its
teens housing and feeding 20. 900
strangers, preachers, doctors, prohibit
tionists, Sunday school delegates and
others, with the Spring Palace visitors.
Hundreds OF palatial residences were
thrown open to care for the public. That
is the way Fort Worth did IT. All praise
TO the noble, blg-hearted psople of the
most prosperous city in the state. There
Is not q vacant business building or o va
cant residence TO be found in the city.
New buildings are going up on all sides,
and l confidently believe that IL 500
buildings could be erected at once there
would not be vacant building for rent
in ninety days. 1 saw this place ten
years ago, and in ten years from now l
expect the census enumeration will put 1t
down 100, 900 people, and some of the
outside additions to be heard from. Very

WASHINGTON. May 30.-A secret meet
ing was held last night at Senator Ed
munds' house to determine the order OF
business for the rest of the session. The
senators are alarmed at the fact that the
session is slipping away without anything
being done. 1t has been determined
among the leaders, therefore, that ac-
ton must be taken toward passing q
tariff bill and a Federal election
bill before adjournment. The sem
ators have been unable to do
this, however, because they could not
stop the flow of speeches by the free
coinage men, and at present the outlook
for any important party legislation is
not at all encouraging. The row over
the tariff question has added to the per-
plexitY of the party leaders, although
they say the programme arranged by
the finance committee insures the pas
sage of tariff bill at an early date. 1t
is stated tonight that the result of the
caucus will be the early consideration of
the silver, tariff and election bills
in the senate aud house Is
party necessity. In view of
the prospect OF great DELAY in the con-
sideration OF the tariff by the finance
committee, some of the Republican sem
ators are talking up proposition for
recess of congress from the first of July
TO the first of October. The idea Is to
give the committee during the recess
time to get their tariff bill in shape, and
then to take it up in the senate when they
come together in October.
CHINESE LANDED.
United States Consul James Viosca, at
Lapaz, Mexico, in letter to the state
department dated April 81 reports the ar
rival OF the steamer City of Sidney at
Mazatlan on the 18th of April, with 1872
Chinese destined for the various guilt
ports of Mexico. Twenty-seven OF them
were landed at MaZatlan and eighty-hve
trans-shipped on the Alexandra for
Guaymas. From authentic information
received from the officers of the Aleiau-
dTo, Mr.. Viosca says there is no doubt
that the eighty-fve Chirese going to
Guaymas are going with the intention of
being introduced through the frontier
into the United States, and it is even in
simulated that they are on their way to
Ohio. A number of them speak the
English language, having resided in
Australia.
