Capt. T. P. Leathers, an old steam
boat captain and pilot, stated to the
committee his objections to the levee
system, which, he seid, had resulted in
raising up the bottom of the river. The
Eads jetties, he SAID, had not in his
opinion, improved the navigation of the
river above New Orleans one bit.
Gen. j. r. Chalmers told the commit
tee that in his opinion the levee and out
let systems ought to be used in connec-
ton with each other. One alone was
not sufficient to deal with the difficult
ties of the situation.
Capt. Cowden addressed the commit
tee at length in support of the bill. He
exhibited great number of maps and
drawings to illustrate his assertions.
Chairman Frye asked: "Do you be-
lieve with Capt Leathers that the bot
tom of the river has been rising with the
leveesY Y'
"No more doubt of it than there is
that am talking to you"
The captain named several places In
the river where rocks that were known
to the old pilots were unknown to the
new ones, being buried out of sight.
AT his old home, where there was no
levee when he was a boy, there is one
now six feet feet high, and there is not
as much water in the channel as there
was then. BY the construction OF the
Lake Borgne outlet, Capt. Cowden said,
the flood waters of one-quarter of the
area of the Mississippi valley could be
diverted from the present channel, at
fording great relief to the inundated
districts.

RECOGNITION.
The Striking Carpenters of the
Windy City Demand 1t.
viii Agree to a Settlement on
No Other Basis.

President Rowland Estimates That Unless
the Eight Hour Demand is Conceded
100000 Carpenters WIN BE on strike
in This Country by May Labor News
from Elsewhere.
CHICAGO, April 90. The joint com
mittee of the striking carpenters, the
new Boss Carpenters association and the
citizens arbitration committee, sent a
note to President Goldie, of the Build.
ers' and Trades Exchange, asking him
to appoint time for meeting, with a
view to settlement of the pending
strike. Mr., Goldie replied that he, to-
gether with the directors and some of
the members of the exchange would
meet and confer with the citizens COM
mittee at noon Saturday with the new
Boss Carpenters committee at 2 p. M,
and with the carpenters committee at
8 p. M, in the Builders Exchange
The new Bosses association, which
claims to have an employing capacity Of
4,5OO men. The strikers say that, in ad-
dition to these, the owners of buildings
in course of erection are ready, when
notified to do SO, to take the contracts
from the old bosses, and turn them over
to the carpenters for completion, and
that in this way work will be furnished
for 800 additional men. They say
that, allowing that the new bosses can
permanently employ 5000 men, this
would leave them with only 800 men
idle, whom they could easily support in
definitely.
President ROwland's Estimate.
President Rowland, of the Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners of Amer
lea, estimates that unless the demand for
eight hours is conceded. at least 10000
carpenters will be found on strike in this
country on May /. The chaotic condi-
tion of tho eight-hour movement at pres
ent may lead to resuscitation of the
eight-hour association which controlled
the similar agitation in 1886, A meet
ing will be held, at which an effort will
be made to unite all trades in one cen
trail organization, for the purpose Of
pushing on the eight-hour day move
ment.

THE APPROACH OF MAY DAY
Preceded by Feeling of Uneasiness and
nrnna rrI,rounl, l,,.A AunA..in

Preceded by a Feeling of Uneasiness and
Dread Throughout Austria.
AS May Day approaches the feeling
of uneasiness and dread increases
throughout Austria, and the authorities
are overwhelmed with appeals from the
law-abiding element for protection
against outrage and violence. Though
the military has thus far been used
sparingly in quelling disorder, greater
degree of activity is observable in the
various garrisons, camps, ETC., and
many of the weaker ones have been con-
siderably reinforced.
Indeed, it may be stated that the gov
ernment now fully shares in the general
alarm felt at the enormous proportions
which the so-called labor movement
threatened to assume. and has entirely
abandoned its policy of non-interference
with the work of the civil authorities in
preserving order which characterized It's
attitude with reference to the recent
Vienna riots, ON which occasion the
military was not called out until the
police had demonstrated their utter in
efficiency, and then only in small
force.
The action of the strikers in making
their differences with their employers a
pretext for engaging in anti-Semitic
warfare has greatly incensed large
proportion of the better class of people
against them, and the May Day move
ment as labor demonstration is thus
deprived of much of the public sym
pathy which it otherwise would have
had.
1t is asserted that commanders of gar
risons are already in receipt of orders to
fire upon disorderly gatherings on May
Day upon the very first indication of
their determination to offer resistance to
the authorities, and throughout the two
kingdoms arrangements are perfecting
to deal with rioters in the most sum
mary manner.
In the disturbances that have thus far
taken place, and particularly those of an
anti-Semitic character, the most violent
of the rioters have been women. the
fury of some of whom was almost in
conceivable. In many instances they
marched ahead of the men, defying the
soldiery and committing acts of cruelty
and fiendish brutality that their male
companions visibly shranS from.
