The Pecan Grove Crevasse.
The flood from the Pecan Grove Gre
vase IN Louisiana has finally reached
Rayville, ia Richland parish, thirty
miles inland, where it has stopped work
on the New Orleans and Northwestern
railroad. The Vicksburg, Shreveport
and Pacific railroad is also threatened
by the water from this break. The
Louisville, New Orleans and Texas rail
road has abandoned trains between Roll

no trains on the Riverside division ex.

from Cahoma to Bensit. These are the
only roads affected by the high water.
A Failure.
The work of closing the crevasse, ex-
cept those below the city, has been a
complete failure.
The Harlem crevasse below has Leen
closed, and that at Bohemia nearly so,
and work is progressing rapidly and sat
isfactorily on the Live Oak break.
All those above New Orleans, however,
continue to grow larger

The danger is most alarming between

TORONTO, Ont, April 14.-At large Christian
gathering yesterday afternoon this resolution.

unanimously adopted:
'sTo William II, Emperor of Germany:
Dear and Honored Sir-As citizens of the
western world who feel the pulsations of life
that throb at this hour in the heart of GERMANY
desire to assure you of having followed your ac-
cession to the throne with grave approximations
and alarm. lest the JesuitS, feeling confident of
the surrender of the imperilled liberties of Eu-
rope to the Pope, had determined to return in
force to the land from which they were banished
in consequence of their implacable hostility to
the government of which the late Emperor Will
liam was the honored head. Equally sad we
have been made by assurances that negotiations
have been entered into which shall recognize
Pope Leo XIII as head of a government which
Is false in fact and hurtful in theory. Germany
is the natural head of Professionalism Luther
of free thought is sweeping into the future To
surrender to Rome is to cut loose from God and
betray the trust committed to the liberty-Ioy
ing people OF every land. Your rejection of the
overtures OF Leo XIII in the spring of 1887: YOUR
loyalty to God and his commands manifested in
your elevated purpose to honor and keep holy
the Sabbath at home and abroad, and YOUR de-
termination to champion the peoples interests
lead us 10 the hope that you have been chosen
by God TO strike Romanism its fatal blow and
to build up the nation of which you are the hon

at the head of the, advancing thought of the
hour. and you shall be more than Emperor of

Dead Body in the Custom House.

New YORK, April IA Copenhagen cable
few days ago told Of the horrible murder of a
factory messenger some time ago by one Phil
ipsen, soap maker, who had confessed and
said he had strangled the messenger for the
money he was carrying, and packed the body in
barrel of lime which he shipped to a fictitious
name at Racine, Wis. 1t is now learned the bar
rel arrived here by the Thingyalla, February t.
1t was shipped and the charges paid by ''Mr
Smith," and consigned to Beresford Bros.
Racine, Wis, Wells Fargo s. Co. being named
as forwarders. The cask was sent to the ap-
praiser's Office, where the head was taken of
and q little of the contents examined, having
resemblance to plaster of Paris. The caslx was
then reheaded and set aside, with the duty fixed
at S205. The express company wrote to
Racine and learned that no such firm
was there. Word was then sent to Mr.
Smith, IN Copenhagen but of course no
reply was received. When Phiiipsen's confess
sion was made the authorities cabled the
Danish consul here and the cask was examined
by the customs officials. A body was found in
it in a fair state of preservation, though those
who opened the eask were driven away before
more than one hand and side of the face had
been encountered. 1t is not yet known what
disposition will be made of it.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Sunday Mercury
prints four columns of expose of the secret of
"the Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine" giving the
secret words and complete and detailed de-
scription of the initiation ceremonies. The mat
ter is interesting although very crudely put to-
gether, beginning with a description of the furni
ture of the temple. The expose says: in the
order of Arabian Mobiles there is one degree
divided into three sections, the first preliminary
the second an actual initiation, and the third
elimination of terrors." The obligation is
printed and the last section of the "culmination
of terrorsn is described. In this there is pre-
tended execution by hanging. The Mobiles are
masked, and hideous noises are made. Then
follows discovery of supposed woman in the

THESILVERINTEREST
The Republican Bills are About
Completed.
ONE CLAUSE ON NATIONAL BANKS
Is Inserted in the Senate Bill Con ernfng the
Ninety Per Cent. Rule-Plunb's
Financial Plan.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 14.-TSpecial tele
gram to TIE HERALD. 1.-The committees APP
pointed by the Republican caucus of the House
and Senate held a long session TODAY and each
agreed upon silver bill. TIE Senate bill au-
tnorlzes the secretary of the treasury to buy
100000 ounces of silver per month and to issue
notes redeemable in bullion or lawful money
The point for which the eastern Senators have
commended is that a limit should be set upon the
monthly purchases. They have secured it in
this bill and this they think is its chief su-
perlorltV over the Window BILL
Inc number OF ounces which it
Is proposed to purchase, would at
tne price OF silver represent about four million
three hundred thousand dollars in value. As the
price of silver rose toward parity with gold
tne value OF the purchases would gradually rise
towards five million nine hundred thousand dol.
lars per month. A proposition which the SEN
ate committee has decided TO couple with the
silver proposition is one that authorizes national
banks TO issue circulating notes o the full
amount OF the bonds deposited as Sc
curity instead of only 90 per cent.
as under the existing law, This world increase
the national bank circulation about I per cent
and retard the present tendency l., withdraw
circulation.
blu containing the same proposition is now
pending N the House, but it is opposed by the
very men who are clamoring for an imitation of
The currency. The Republican committee of
the House has agreed TO the principle of the
issue of bullion certificates upon the
SILVER product of the United States
without limiting the amount, bat has
adopted an amendment making the certif-
Gates redeemable in gold coin, silver coin or
treasury notes. at the option OF the treasury. A
strong effort is being made to unite the party
IN each house upon the plans agreed upon in
committee. It is believed that all Ct the Re-
publican Senators, with the possible exception
OF Mr. Plumb, Of Kansas, and Mr. Stewart. of
Nevada, will stand by the Senate
plan and refuse to vote for free
coinage. The members OF the House [ ommittee
are confident that they can secure an agree
ment. They also are laboring tonight with
their party associates to this end. The Sena-
tors seem comparatively indifferent whether the
House committee agrees with them at the Joint
meeting which is TO be held tomorrow or
whether they stand by their own proposition.
They believe that the matter can be satisfac-
torially adjusted if each house passes its own
measure and the subject is then sent to the
the conference committee.
