The drought in North Louisiana

The terrible effects Of the drought
in North and especially Northeast
Louisiana can scarcely be appreciated
by the citizens of this section who
have been blessed with frequent re-
freshing showers during the entire
summer.
The Monroe Bulletin gives a most
narrowing account of the condition Of
the people in dozen parishes, and
makes an earnest appeal to the mer-
chants Of St. Louis and the West for
help, calling attention to the fact that
two years ago Louisiana and other
Southern States carried generous re-
lief to the victims of the drought in
Nebraska. The Bulletin says;
"We travelled from Ruston to Far
merville, and from Farmerville to
townsville, and the sights we saw
were enough tochill the blood. Fields
of corn that will net make grain to
the acre. Fields of cotton that will
not make pound. And every other
crop has failed. There is no fruit,
no vegetables, no potatoes, no sorghum
no cane, no peas, no hay and no meat
in the woods. Everything green has
been burnt up by the sun and by for
est fires.
'It has come to question of bread
and meat. Starvation with it gaunt
feature is peeping in at the doors of
white and black.
"Not half of the story of want and
destitution has been told. No Ian
guage can describe the awful results
Of four months drought.

that all legitimate bids Mt rate above

1t was expected by the treasury Of

to exercise some discretion in the &C.
ceptance of bids, and, therefore, would
be In position to give the preference,
to parties who would agree to obtain
their gold from abroad. The fact
however. that all bids higher than
that made by Mr.. Morgan must be- ac-
cepted precludes the possibility of his
making any discrimination whatever
except In rare cases where the bidder
shows that he has foreign gold ON the

sion OF time in which to make his de-
posit. In cases Of this character It IL
believed the secretary will grant tho

New York, Feb. S.-The storm of
rain and wind which began last night
is the most severe that has visited this
vicinity for many months, and al:
though the velocity Of the wind has
moderated some the the rain continues
to come down and the sky shows no
signs of clearing. At times during the
day the wind blew at the rate as sew
enty-two miles an hour. ard n,thing
like it's wild swOop up Broad way and
through the long avenues has been,
seen in this city for years. Women
and children were blown of their
feet into the streets in many cases:
At least dozen people were taken til
their homes or a hospital by patrol
wagons, suffering from cuts and
bruises inflicted by flying timbers and
umbrellas. Brooklyn Jared worse:
Two men are dead and another dying
as a result of the collapse of the three

blew down the grand stand at Acque-
duct, Queens county racing grounds.
At Rockaway the wind blew at the
rate of eighty miles an hour. Consid-
cradle damage was done at the beach
by the heavy sea which was on. Boats
were torn from their mornings and
carried away. Trees were uprooted
and the roofs Of small houses were
also torn off, but no serious damage
occurred.
The storm was especially severe in
Westchester county and caused sew
cral was'louts along the railroad lines.
At Mount Kiscoo the sand was two
feet deep on the tracks and a licomo-
tive was derailed. Several tons of
earth fell upon the tracks just north of

seems to have been general over New

done everywhere.
