The resolutions were about to go
through with rush, when Rev. DIR.
Berry offered the following amend
ment:
Resolved, That we have learned with grent
satisfaction of the ofTlclal action of tho cabinet
OF the league Of the Methodist Episcopal
church in ordering Its exhibit removed from
the grounds OF the Columbian exposition; and
we heartily congratulate our common Metho-
dism upon this wise and consistent action.
This brought on merry war. A
dozen men were on their feet in favor
OF the amendment and as many more
took the floor in opposition, all striving
to be heard Mt once. Finally after a
long and heated discussion the amend
ment was carried by vote of 551 yeas
and 472 nays The convention then
voted on the adoption of the resolu-
tions, and carried the question with
what seemed perfect unanimity. The
session then closed with a song and
benediction.

DEATH IN THE FLOOD,

A Crevasse 800 Feet Wide Opens on the
New River Basin, In Louisiana Ten Per-
sons Lose Their Lives and Many Others
Impcrillcd.
New ORLEANS, July 3.-Suddenly,
and almost without warning, the re-
lentless waters pouring through the
Rescue crevasse, now 500 feet wide,
swept down the New river basin Tues
day night, carrying destruction and
terror in their path, not only imprison-
ing the unfortunate people in their
houses and cabins, but driving them
into the garrets, and in many instances
to the roofs of the buildings. There
many of them are yet huddled, endur-
ing the pangs of hunger, for they have
no means of cooking food, and it will
be fortunate, indeed, if all are succored
before starvation and exposure find
victims among them. In addition to
those already overwhelmed and
drowned in the flood, so far as reported
up to last evening, ten lives have been
lost-a white girl, three colored men,
one colored woman and five eolored
children. The white girl was brought
in skitf to the head of New River
lane, and just after stepping from the
boat to the railroad embankment she
fell to the ground and died; doubtless
from the combined effects of fright,
exposure, nervous and physical eXhaus-
tion.
The New river country has frequent
ly suffered from overflow, but no pre-
vious flood has compared in depth, eX-
tent or the suddenness of its coming
with the one that now covers it. Places
that We're wholly unaffected by the
crevasses of 1882, 1891 and 1892 are sew
eral feet under water; and localities
heretofore believed to be above over
flow, are submerged to-day. Presum-
ing that the water would rise gradual
ly as has been the case in former sea-
sons of inundation, and that they
would have week or more within
which to remove their families, stock
and household belongings, n large ma
jority of the people of this unfortunate
section had made no preparations
whatever for the terrible visitation
that came upon them in a single night.
An idea of the extent and depth of the
Hood may be formed from the fact that
there is from five to seven feet of water
at Dutchtown, and that Capt. Henry
Doyal's house is the only ono along the
entire extent of New river settlement,
distance of some twenty-five miles,
with its floor still above the surface of
the flood.
The first news of the fearful condi-
dion of affairs on New river to reach
Donaldsonville came Thursday night,
in letter sent by special messenger,
from II. Il. Hart, of Donaldsonville.
| Mr.. Hart's information was derived
from Leufroy Boudreaux, one of the
oldest and most respected citizens of
the overtlowed country, who had with
much difficulty made his way to the
river in search of means to rescue his
family and neighbors from their alarm
ing predicament. Measures of relief
were at once instituted. 1t is thought
! the two feet of skitfs sent, added to
the considerable number previously
in the overflow or gathered from other
points, will be sufficient to accomplish
the work of bringing in ah the people
of the flooded section to places of safety.

A Terrible Mistake.

CHAsKA, Mimi, June 29.-John Wo-
john, of Chaska, was shot Tuesday
night by farmer who lives near Wa
coma. Mr.. Wojohn having made a long
journey on foot is supposed to have sat
down in the road and fallen asleep.
The farmer coming along and thinking
he saw wolf or bear, ran home after
his gun and returned accompanied by
his brothers. They fred and then dis
covered their awful mistake. Wojohn
only lived long enough to tell, his name
and home. Officers will thoroughly in
vestigate the story.

CAN WATERRUN UP HILL.

Something Abont the Course 81 the
mississippi River.
In an article published some time ago.
It was stated that since the source OF
the Mississippi river is about three
miles nearer the center Of the earth
than its mouth is, therefore the water
Of the river runs up hill. This state
ment produced wrong impression,
which It is desirable to correct 81 1t IS
[true that the waters Of the Mississippi,
In flowing toward the equator, gradu
ally recede from the center Of the
earth, because the earth is not q sphere,
but spheroid fattened toward the
poles. But this recession cannot be aez-
curately described as a flowing up
hill,'' because that would imply that the
water disobeys the law Of gravitatIou-
The direction Of gravity is always at
a right angle to the surface of still
water, and if the earth were completely
covered with water, that surface would
not be in the form Of a sphere, butt Of
sphereoid, having substantially the
same shape as that Of the solid sur
face Of the earth taken as a whole.
This is the form assumed by the sun
face Of the ocean, which is called q SUE
face Of equilibrium, because, without
some disturbing influence, the water
has no tendancy to flow in any direc-
ton, and q plumb line hangs peEpen-
dicular to it at every point But owing
to the fattening of the earth toward
the poles, the plumb line does not point
toward the center of the earth any
where except at the poles and along
the equator. ,.."... -,
1t follows from these facts that If the
Mississippi valley did not slope toward
the south below the level which am
ocean covering that valley, and having
its northern edge at the source of the
river, would assume, then the river
would be in equilibrium from source to-
mouth and would not flow at all. =
In fact, as the article referred to
stated, the valley does slope, So that
while its lower end ought to be. about
three and half miles farther from the.
earth's center than it's upper end is in
order to correspond with the general
form of the planet, yet in truth it is
only about three miles farther from the
oSAAS\A"
resents the true "hill' down which, not
up which, the Mississippi flows
The source Of misapprehensdon in this
case seems to lie in the overlooking Of
the fact that the oceans, having a mo-
bile surface, which cannot be perma-
nently deformed by local causes, meas
ure the true level Of the globe, while
the continents are simply elevations
thrust UP above the level. It is the di-
rection of the plumb line, and not Of
the center Of the earth, that determines
the level Of water and the course Of it's
flow.
On the other hand, it must not be for
gotten that centrifugal force" plays a
part in producing the present surface of
equilibrium of the earth, and that if
the rotation of the globe should cease
there would be a change in the direc-
ton Of the plumb line, and then the
waters of the Gulf Of Mexico might
overflow the valley of the Mississippi

SAILED OVER FoRTrY YEARS AGO


The First Race for the Americas
Cup md the Americans Victory.
The first race for the cup now known
rs the Americas cup, was sailed around
the Isle Of Wight on Aug: %, 1851,
sfys the Philadelphia Press. Of the
yachts that sailed the seas in hose5days
the gallant old America, full Of years
and honors, is probably the only. one
now in commission. The Royal Yacht
Squadron had offered cup open to
| competition by yachts of all nations.
The America was lying at Cowes, and
her owners were anxious to get
match race with a representative Brit
ish yacht. Commodore Stevens entered
| the America in this open race. There
We're six scllooDers, one a three master
| of 1872 tons, and eight cutters III the
race. The America was the last yacht
! to get off. She ran wing-and- wing,
| her main sail out on one side ana her
| foresail out on the other, and Every
soon had sailed 81 ardly through the
feet, reaching the schooner Beatrice
| and the cutters Aurora, VolanteS and
Arrow, which were leading; Finally
the America, by very skillful dodging,
managed to get intost the lead. e.
| The Yankee boat, with the windsfree
| had shown superiority over the English
vessels. And when 1t came to wind
ward work she proved that she#was
equally superior She worked to wind
ward so speedily that .by the time the
point was reached there was not a
yacht in sight from her decks The
| wind now died down and q strong head
tide was encountered, against which the
America made little Roadway. This
gave the feet, which had not yet caught
the full strength Of the tide, a chance
i TO creep up on her. The little c1tter
Aurora and the cutter Arrow nearly
caught up with the America, but the
rest OF the fleet were miles astern.
i AZ st. Catharine' s. the Arrow went
aground and was out of the races but
the little Aurora chung to the America
admirably. The wind now freshened
again and the Americ drew awaTsrap-
!dly from her plucky little rival. After
getting by st. GATHERINGS the America
had a leading wind, and easing Oh her
sheets tore through the water In mag
uificent style and swept toward Caves,
q remarkable winner. The defeated
English yachts We're two days altogeth-
er in getting into port. The dislnay Of
! the English yachtsmen and all Great
Britain at the terrible Gefeat given by
the little black Yankee is almost q mat
ter Of international history. Z.
Comm Odore Stevens had tried before
the big race for "a match, very hard
and had posted In the Royal Squadron Is
castle a challenge to sail against any
Il yacht for from ], 900 to 10000 guincas,
but the English were afraid of tile
Yankee from his first appearance and
the challenge was never accepted.
