BURLINGTON, Ia, May 1.-THE situa-
ton here in regard to the floods is Il lit
tie better. The river has fallen about
three inches, and it is believed that the
worst is over. The st. Louis, Keokuk
and Northwestern trains ran over their
own line today. but We're from one to
two hours late. They passed through
two feet of water at Alexandria, Mo.
The trip through several adjacent lii
nois counties showed deplorable situa-
ton in farm lands. Much water is
standing in the fields, and the crops of
wheat and oats are looking sickly in the
lowlands. 1t is still raining, and reports
from Iowa points show some distressful
conditions of things.

The International Executive Board in
Session at Pittsburg.

evening. Nothing of importance was
considered last night owing to the non
arrival of A. w. Wright, of Toronto,
Canada. Congressman John Davis, of
Kansas, arrived last night and will par
ticipate in the deliberations.
In an interview this evening Mr.. Pow
derly stated that for the present his
political interests and those OF the
knights of Labor were with the Peoples
party, ms its platform embodies the ideas
OF the working classes. When asked the
probable name of the coming presiden-
,Tial nominee he smiled and said face
'tiously: Il can hardly do that as the
presidential lightning might strike my
self, and | don't fancy talking much
about 1t; however, am with the Peo-
pies party and our course is contingent
with the action of the Democrats or Re-
publicans. We have drawn up our de-
Caration of principles and will support
the party that enbodies the most of
those principles in their platform. If
the Democrats or Republicans ignore
our cause, we will hold a convention in
Omaha and nominate II man for presi-
dent. We favor unlimited coinage of
silver and everything calculated to in
sure relief for the people and the decen-
tralization OF wealth"

college, and said its abolition was sought
fby the new party, as was also the abol-

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD.
No Trouble Anticipated at St. Louis
and New Orleans.


ST. LOUIS, May 1.-THE Mississippi
river is still booming, and from all in
dications the crisis has not yet been
reached, and the probabilities are that it
will not be in the next twelve hours
The river at this point has reached the
2S.5 foot stage, the highest point since
1888, when 1913 was reached. The Mis-
souri, river is rising very rapidly. A
survey of the conditions on the upper
Missouri, Illinois and Mississippi do not
indicate that the food will reach the
danger line-thirty-two feet
New ORLEANS, May 11.-At noon yes
terday the river at this point rose three
tenths of an inch, and the water is now
running over the wharves and through
several of the down streets. The old
levee at Carrollton is washing badly,
but the new levee that protects New Or
leans from overfiowing is holding well.
No apprehension as yet is being felt as
to the safety of the city, and it is be-
lieved that by tonight the crisis will be
passed. Reports from up country state
that the levees so far are intact. The
report that the Morganza levee had
broke is a canard.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 11.-An autograph
letter has been received in this city
from Archbishop ireland at Rome,
which, it is believed by his friends here
settles beyond cavil the attitude of the
vatican towards the socalled Faribault
plan. The letter says: "The socalled
Faribault plan is now formally allowed
in spite of Germans and Jesuits. The
decision is 'tolerari protest, which
means economically, is fully allowed.
A letter addressed to me in the name of
the propaganda brings out the full prac-
tical meaning of the words. The plan
is, of course, a departure from the ideal
and in case of a departure the canon
ical language is 'tolerari protest. But
they imply for practice full approval. :"

DEFINING CONFESSES.
Acknowledges His Crime, but Says
That Emily Mather Commits
ted the RainhiIl Murders.

MELBOURNE, May 11.-Deeming has
confessed that he made four attempts to
murder Emily Mather. The first at
tempt was made in London soon after
their marriage. The second attempt
was made at coffee house in Mel
bourne. Two other attempts were made
in Andrew street, Windsor. Three
weeks after taking the house in Wind
sor he tried to cut his wfe's throat while
she slept, but she awoke and thwarted
him. On the following day, at Q
o'clock in the morning, he awoke and
found his wife peeling an apple with
large claspknife. He seized this weapon
and with it cut her throat.
He then fled from the house terrified
at what he had done in obedience to his
mothers spirit. At daybreak he found
himself on the pier at St. Kilda. Here
he found a man fishing and gave him
ElO to bury the body. He knew moth
ing of how the woman had been buried
until he heard of it in western Australia.
He cannot account for the purchase of
the cement beforehand, nor the wounds
on his wife's head. He says that some
times he was not himself. He repeats
the story that "Old Ben" is the man to
whom, ut Rainhill, he alleges, he gave
$50 to procure the disappearance of his
first wife. He asserts that Emily Mather
finally committed the Rainhill murders.
A knife found in his luggage agrees with
the description of the clasp knife.
