A Second Crevasse.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, May 1.-THE Times
Democrats vicksburg, Miss, special says:
Messages by telephone confirm the report
of a second crevaSse at Brooks Mills, Ark,
on w. e. Kiger's plantation, about
seven miles below Lakeport. 1t was
nifty feet wide when discovered at
six o'clock this morning. The water will
also flow into the Tensas basin, and, taken
in connection with the first creyasse, it is
expected to put it generally under water.
The crevasses last year easily accomplished
this result. Its effects will be
felt from Kiger's plantation to the
mouth of Red river 1t has been believed
by persons who know the Tensas basin
country well that the Lakeport crevasses
water would have been carried of by Ma
con and other bayous with but little injury
TO the country, but with the additional in
flux from Brooks Mill this is impossible.
The destruction Of crops win be enormous,
as the entire country from the Arkansas
line southwark is thickly settled and well
improved.

Fraudulent Pensions.

WASHINGTON d. c., May l4.AIt is stated
at the pension Office that up to last Tues
day the pension examiners now in Nor
folf. Va, investigating claims filed by
Pension Attorney Dewey had completed IA
cases, all of which had been found 10 be ir-
regular or fraudulent The pension office
officials are searching the files for claims
filed by Dewey which have been allowed
and so far 1865 have been found and for
warded TO the examiners at Norfolk. No
computation of the amounts paid on these
claims has been made but as all OF them
were filed under the act of June q, 1880,
which allows sl2 per month as the maxi
mum rate it is probable that the average
will fall below 500 each. Dewey is now
serving one year term in Jail for fraudu-
lent transactions in pension cases.

II the Geary Act II Put In Force Ameri-
cans Will Not be Allowed in China.
NEw YORK, May 14.-The Rev. Dr.
]. s Baldwin, for twenty-five years a
Methodist Missionary in China, and for
nearly a quarter Of a century Secretary
Of the Missionary Board Of the NJ. E.
Church, which has large moneYed inter-
ests Ia China, said to-day that he had
positive information from dighitaries
OF the Chinese Government, and from
his own Chinese missionaries that if
the Chinese exclusion act is car
ried into effect and Chinese are
shipped from this country to China de-
ported simply because they are without
having taken out certificates. that
Americans IN China will be likewise de-
ported from that country TO the United
States.
''If the law is declared constitutional
by the Supreme Court" he said, 81 an
ticipate that there will be a speedy
exodus both Of missionaries aud mer-
chants from China in retaliation for our
sending home Chinese from the United
States.
This is the most perilous time in the
relation Of China TO the United States
that has yet been encountered. 1t is
probable that the Methodist Church
will make an appear to the Chinese au-
thorities in case the deportation is de-
cided upon, in behalf OF the Methodist
missionaries now stationed in all Of the
provinces"

THE COMPLETED FILES" ORDER,


Which Brought Raum Into Disgrace,
Rescinded by the New Commissioner OF
Pensions.
COLUMBUS, IND, May 14.-Congress-
man Cooper, Of this city. received a
private dispatch from Washington to-
night announcing that the new Com
missioner OF Pensions has rescinded
the famous completed files" order OF
Commissioner Raum. This order was
the foundation Of the first series OF
charges preferred by Mr.. Cooper against
Commissioner Raum in the Fifty-hrst
Congress, and it was the making OF the
order at the request OF Attorney Lem
on, followed by Lemons Endorsement OF
Raum's paper the very next day for the
sum of S12, 200, that first brought Raum
into disgrace. The result of the order
was to create confusion in the business
of the bureau and to greatly delay the
cor sideration of honest claims. Mr..
Cooper is very much pleased over the
news OF the revocation OF the order,
not only, as he says, because 1t Is hnal
judgment on Raum and his methods,
but also because it shows that Judge
Lochren has at once grasped the situa-
tion and was prompt in placing his
seal of condemnation on the nefarlous
business.
1t is calculated that under the new
administration a check is going to~be
given to the rapid growth Of the pension
list, even without the assistance OF any
legislation. When the pension appro-
priatlon bill was passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress 1t was expected that
the amount appropriated would be
about fifteen millions short OF the ex-
penditure3 for this fiscal year. 1t was
anticipated that deficiency OF that
amount would have to be provided for
at the coming session. The average
number OF original pension cases passed
on each month Is expected, however, to
be but about one-third what it was un-
der the former administration OF the Of
fee, and that, instead OF deficiency,
there will be a surplus OF about S6,OOO,-
900.

The water will take the same course
as that taken by the water from the
