AWFUL sUFFER1NG.
Nearly All of N. T.. mississippi Is
Under Water.

VIcKsBuRG, May 29.-Therc are at
least 10000 homeless and hungry people
in East Carroll, Morehouse, West Carroll
and Madison parishes, and the suffering
and privatious they are undergoing are
appalling. With exception of n few small
elevations the whole of the Northeastern
portion of the State is under water.
Forty -four negroes were rescued from a
perilous position near Swan Lake, East
Carrolton parish, Sunday night. They
were almost insane from hunger, having
been without food four days. Two chill
dren died Friday from exposure. Their
bodies were wrapped in blankets and
thrown into the raging waters. there
being no dry ground in which to bury
them. An old hermit was rescued four
miles from Swan Lake who had been
without food three days. When found he
was sitting astride the roof OF his house

THIS XS GREAT.
A saving of $I5,ooO,OOO to the
Country.

WASHINGTON. May 29.-PIobably the
most important decision ever sent from
the office of the Secretary of the interior
to the Commissioner of Pensions has just
been filed. 1t is believed by those high i'll
authority in the Pension Bureau, that it
will reduce the payment of pensions
under the act OF June 27, 1890, between
SIS, 100000 and 100000. 1t in
wolves the repeal of an order passed by
Gen. Raum and approved by Assistant
Secretary Busy and a return to the lam
guage of the statute requiring disability
when not of service origin, to be such as
to prevent the applicant from earning
support by manual labor.
Raum's order, No. 164, dated June 27,
1890, requires that all cases showing
pensionable disability under the act oi
June 81, 1890, should be rated as OF ser
vice origin. The case that brought this
about was that of soldier to whom
a pension was granted under the law o.
| 1890, for slight deafness, but who is il
sound health and vigorous body ant
who had no record of illness or injury o
any kind during his army service.
