MISSISSIPPI FLOOD
Still Destroying the Levees Along the
River.

New ORLEANS. Mar. Is The Times
Democrat's Vicksburg special says: At
P. NJ. the crevasse at Raleigh or Pecan
Grove was l 900 feet or more wide and the
ends caving so rapidly that it was fool
hardness to approach them. The levee is
nearly 10 feet high and an immense volume
of water is rushing through it in q stream
ten or more feet deep.
The extent of the crevasse and immense
amount of water delivered by it may be
estimated by the fact that in "a hours end
ing this evening the river had fallen three
inches at Vicksburg and four inches at
Lake Providence, though rising steadily
prior to the crevssse. The water from the
crevasse backed up several inches and
flooded some plantations. 1t will overflow
full fourth of East Carroll parish and q
greater part of Tensas and Madison parishes.

WASHINGTON, Mar. l6.-The grand jury
not having been in session today, no further
action was taken in the case of Charles +
kincaid. charged with the killing of ex-
Representative Taulbee. 1t 10 understood,
however, that . presentment has been found
on which the district attorney will prepare
the indictment, and that it will be passed on
by the grand jury early in the week Judge
kincaid vas looking fairly well and in good
spirits this morning bnt last evening suffered
from an attack Of nervous prostration. The
frequency Of these attacks begins to tell on
his general health and his appearance and
actions. and causes come apprehension to
his friends. 1t is more than likely that if
the indictment if not presented early in the
week. and some arrangement is not made
for his enlargement on bail. efforts will be
made for having him placed in . hospital
under police surs sillAnce.

CHIPPEWA INDIANS.
Suferings Of the Tribe in North
Dakota.
The Aalson- -Aleyon Case Comes Up
Again Before Judge Cofett.
United States Troops Will Keep Out
the Cherokee Boomera

PHrLApELLHIA. Mar. l6-Right Rev
John Stanley, d. D., Bishop Of North
Dakota, who occupied the pulpit of the
Cathedral here today, told pitiful story OF
the privations and sufferings Of the Chip
pewa Indians occupying the reservation in
the extreme northern part Of his diocese
His object was to secure assistance for
| their relief. He described most vividly
the condition of these Indians, ~ witnessed
by hinsel during the recent cold weather
when the thermometer marked 40 degrees
below zero.
He charged the government with having
stolen eleven million acres of land that this
tribe possessed when Dskota's territory was
divided between Sioux and Chippewa In
dians. Eleven million acres were stolen
boldly and not one cent paid in return for
it," said his grace. THE owners we're
sent to 4 northern border State, the coolest
and bleakest spot in the country. where
two townships were organized with 900
acres of land. This was filed with bad
timber forests, lakes, swamps and rocks
On these 1000 acres there were put $50
Indians, who are trying to make their liv
ing. These wards Of the United States are
living where one hundred white nen could
scAtceiy RAISE ehOuBu " Aecp tuem awe.
His Grace described q personal visit to
these townships, where, he said, he had
witnessed scenes that would have disgraced
Siberia. The Indians houses are log
huts, constructed by the lndians them
selves, without flooring, sheets and quilts
covering the windows and doorways. The
crevices between the logs are filed with
mud that cracks and falls out by the sum-
mer heat and is blown out by the northern
winter blasts, so that the occupants may as
well be sleeping outside. In these huts it
is not infrequent to find six families living
These $50 Indians cannot make their own
living there. They have never been sup
piled with proper agricultural implements.
Today they are absolutely destitute"
The United States appropriated 81, 900
to these Indians, about 81 so to each one.
This amount was spent in -four and ia,
pork and distributed among them. The
pork is sickening During eighteen months
previous to the lst of January, 1890, out of
400 Indians 100 died. During the month
of January 27 died. The deaths were al
most invariably of starvation.

ALCRYON-NELsoN.
The National Trottipg Association on
Trial for Contempt

BUFFALO, N. Y, Mar. l6.-The order
to show the cause why the National Trot-

| not be punished for contempt for alleged
| violation of the injunction order issued in
| the Alcryon Nelson suits, was argued be.
fore Judge Corlett at his chambers Satur-
cay morning. The plaintiff, appeared by
Attorneys NJ. J. Smiley Of Grand Rapids,
Mich, and Norris Morey of this city; the
defendants by ID. N. Lockwood and VIM.
b. Hcyt.
During the proceedings an affidavit was
read from George W. Arher, President
of the Rochester driving park, a member
of the board of review and one of the
judges in the Alcryon- Nelson SIC, 900 race.
He affirmed on or about October 4, 1889,
after said race. he met Frank l.. Noble at
Murray Hill Hotel, New York City. Noble
being one of the plaintiffs in this action as
the deponent understands, had the control
and management of the horse Alcryon
during the season Of 1889 and at said race
The deponent stated to Noble that it was
fortunate for him that Alcryon threw his
toe weights in the last heat. Noble re-
piled; THAT made no difference; that he
had had the horse shod few days be fore
so that no driver could drive him to win
the race. and if they had taken off the
robens the horse would have lost Just the
same. Noble further stated that before
the race bs gan he had agreed to let Nelson
win the race and had Nelson's check for
$4,000 before the race started; that he
(Noble) won second money and had get
81 800 out of the race. The deponent re-
Piled to him, Don't yeu, think you are
taking pretty desperate chsnces?" Noble
said Don't know, but what could you
have done about it If you had discovered
the fraud at the timer The deponent re-
piled that if they had known Of the fraud
at the time the judges would have declared
the pools and race OF.
Hoyt maintained the whole object Of the
action was to determine whether the N. T.
A. had a right to investigate this charge of
fraud. and the injunction order simply re-
strained them from making such investga-
tons pending action The court gave the
plaintiff attorneys twenty days to submit
their brief and the same period to the de-
fence to answer it, 90 the decision can
hardly be handed down within q month.
