Press Dispatches not True.

New ORLEANS, July III. G.
Schriever traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific road telegraphs from
San Angelo as follows: press dis
patches regarding overflow of Color
RADIO river into Salton Desert have ex-
aggerated and misrepresented the
facts. The Colorado river is falling at
Yuma and the overflow of water will
be steadily reduced from this time on.
Even should it continue at the same
rate as for the past ten days, it would
in three months time reach our rail-
rsad track at the lowest point in the
desert. We would have ample time
to change our line if it was seriously
threatened and lengthing OF track,
caused by the change would not ex-
coed one mile. The company has not
instructed its engineers to make sur
veys or estimates for new line. The
necessity for that is too remote to
warrant serious consideration. At
present there will be no interruption
to traffic on our line on account OF
this overflow.

CHICAGO, July 11.-William F. G..
Shanks, OF New York, is a guest at the
Auditorium hotel. He has been con-
nected with The Tribune of New York for
the past twenty years, and during the war
was correspondent of the New York
Herald. Referring to the Mcclure Nico-
lay controversy he said that of one
thing he was sure, and that
was that Lincoln knew of Johnson 5
dissipated habits as early as October, 1868,
and knew thereof upon the most undoubt-
ed testimo ny. He also said Il think
Colonel Mcclure will find he is in error as
to Nicolay' s closeness TO Lincoln. Editor
Noah Brooks, of the Newark Advertiser,
or John Hay, of Washington, would be
among the best authorities on that point.
Colonel Hay was undoubtedly close to the
