ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPA7cHt
NEW ORLEANS, March 29.-The pre-
diction of Sergeant Dunn. Signal Service
officer at New York, telegraphed over the
country, that New Orleans would be badly
flooded by the river with probable loss of
life, created the greatest indignation here,
and it is likely that some action wM be
taken to secure Dunn's removal as sensa-
tionalist. The prediction seems to have
been accepted by great many people
throughout the country, and to have created
a very panicky feeling as to New Orleans,
and it has undoubtedly severely affected bus
iness.
ALL WERE ANXIOUS.
Between 600 and 1000 kilograms were re-
ceived to-day asking about the condition of
the river and whether the danger was as
great as reported Several cotton merchants
received orders to sell cotton and to take no
chances of flood, and shipments of flour
from Cincinnati were stopped by shippers,
who were frightened by Dunn's predictions.
The latter received no credence here and
local securities of all kinds advanced.
Sergeant Kerkam, Signal Service officer
in charge, declared the predictions wholly
unreliable and the river situation was bet
ter than it has been for some time past. a
meeting has been called at the Board Of
Trade to ask for the removal of Sergeant
Dunn on the ground that he has entailed
considerable injury on New Orleans by his
assertions and predictions, and a strong
petition will go from here to General Greely
against him as a dangerous, irresponsible
Signal Service official
THE RIVER is FALLING.
The river here fell one-tenth of foot to-
day. and is now foot below the high water
mark reached March 13. The levee in the
meanwhile has been raised feet and can
easily stand 214 feet more, but it is not
thought by experts that it will reach the
high water mark again this season. Above
the levees have been somewhat weakened by
the wind storms of the last two days, but
otherwise the situation is favorable and
all the tributaries are falling. It
is feared that the crevasses that have oc-
Cured will keep the high water up longer
than expected. They will increase the
danger for the levees around Vicksburg,
where the Yazoo is swollen with waters
from the various breaks pouring into the
Mississippi.
Some fear was felt for Morganza, the
most important levee in Louisiana, and
toward the defense of which the Mississippi
River Commission has contributed LIBERAL
ly, but it is reported all right to-day. 1t is
not probable that any of the breaks IN the
leyee can be closed before the river
falls. Altogether five parishes in Louisiana
and five counties in Mississippi are more or
less flooded by water from these breaks.
But little harm has been done as yet by
these crevasses beyond the drowning Of
some stock, and the damage will depend
largely upon whether the water runs of in
time to allow planting.

where strong local resident was put up by
the Tories to oppose the Gladstonian, a
very good man, but who had no local con-
nection. The ducal Argyle family and the
Unionists of Glasgow made every effort to
secure the wavering electorate, and this,
combined with the strong claims of their
local man, brought about the defeat of the
Gladstonian.
The Tories so rarely have any cause for
satisfaction over electoral contests that an

the people are not discouraged. They have
gone to work, and this morning timers and
masons were at work on numerous houses.
At the houses the owners have gangs of
men at work clearing up. and at some of
them repairs have begun. The Strause
House is already being rebuilt, and George
Pau is busy getting his property in order.
The damage in houses, furniture, etc., will

all of q serious kind. Many OF the build
ings standing will have to be torn down and
rebuilt. Not less than 200 houses were
wrecked or damaged.
