STRUNG It's Provisicas.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.--The difficult
.ties encountered by the department OFF,
GERS in constituting the provisions of the
ssight-hour law continue. Acting Secre-
larry OF War Grant has requested the at
.orney general to render an opinion as to
whether the eight-hour law applies to
work of the levees of the Mississippi
river. General Grant has little doubt
himself that the law does apply to such
work. but Congressman Catchings, of
Mississippi, who preferred the request
originally, thinks not and said he would
be better satisfied if the attorney gen.
eral would render an official opinion on
the subject The matter is one Of vast
Importance to the people Of the Missis-
|sippi river valley, as with the present
appropriation at eight hours for q days
work, less work would be done for the
same money.

HIS SERENE OLD AGE.

How Ex-senator Evarts Passes His de-
clining Years.
William Maxwell Evarts, In his old
fashioned residence near Gramercy park,
New York city, is the beau ideal of re-
tired statesman. On any fine morning Of
the season he may be seen to issue from his
door, walk with slow but steady steps to
his tAvorite seat in the park and there
drink In the pure air and bask in the pleas
ant sunshine, IL the weather is not too
warm, for hours The birds and the trees,
the gentle life and movement all interest
him, and occasionally the antics Of children
move him to hearty laughter.

WILLIAM MAxwELL EyARTs.

His face is rugged and almost gothic In
outline, but still full Of power, still almost
handsome. There Is a certain pallor about
it, and the burrows are deep, but it is still
the face of the senator, the orator, the
great advocate. One can still gaze on it
and realize how he thundered against the
.'Cleopatra, filibusters in 1851, and de-
Tended President Johnston In 1868; how he
nominated Seward in $780, and explained
the Alabama claims at Geneva in 1872; how
he defended Henry Ward Beecher, advo-
Gated the electoral commission, served in
the senate. delivered the Centennial ora
tion and welcomed the statue OF Liberty

He Was born In Boston Feb. @, 1913, and
Is therefore but seventy -four years old,
but he was never physically strong, and
was frcm youth an untiring worker; 80
he has the appearance OF great age. He
was graduated from Yale in 1887, was ad-
mitted to the bar in New York city In
1871, and soon won his spurs as assistant
district attorney for the state. In 1860 oc-
CURED the great legal battle between him
and Charles O'Conor, the latter being
counsel for Virginia In the famous Lem
mon slave case.
Almost every great question OF constitu-
tional power during the war was argued
by him rs attorney for the government,
and his opinions are now the established
law. His services as secretary of state to
President Hayes and United States sem
ator for New York are still fresh in the
public mind. A journalist who recently
called upon him gives this description:
Before me stands man, slender, bowed
with age: his face IL pale and shrnnken:
his eyes are small, gray and keen, but they
glow with force nearly spent. His splen-
did intellectually still remains. Age has
softened the once proud consciousness OF
power. but the look of power remains"
He often goes to his Office down In the
city and does considerable work, chiefly In
the way Of suggestion and declaring the
law as he remembers it In old and long ad
Indicated cases. He has various souvenirs
Of nearly all his great cases, and these
alone would make quite n museum. In
will cases involving immense sums his adj

PANAMA, via Galveston, Aug. 3i.-It
Is reported here that Asiatic cholera ex-
lists in Venezuela. The long continued
rebellion has caused sanitary conditions
to be more or less neglected, and this,
together with the bad and impure water
supply, and the great scarcity of proper
food, is said to have aided the disease in
its progress after its introduction. Vel
low fever is still epidemic in Venezuela,
especially so among the soldiers Of both
the government and Crespo, the rebel
leader. The mortality among the troops
Is very great.

stricken at Liverpool with what appears
to be cholera. They were sent to hos
pitfalls and the cases are being watched
to see If the disease Is Asiatic cholera.
Other emigrants are being closely in

and because the steamship companies
are anxious not to carry any who are
