AUSTRALIA.

The sensation scare sent out by the
Commercial Appeal yesterday morn
ing concerning a break at Australia il
. fair example of the result of wild
spccuIsti0us and announcements by
Unauthorized and badly Informed peo-
pie The simple truth of the matter
is this. Australia le7ee Is safe and
sound, but being close TO the upper
eud Of the line, The pressure is heavier
han 1t is below. Mr.. VanMeler. g
very capable aud Cool.hesded engineer
has charge Of II, and is working on IL
and strengthening it with sacks and
earth constantly. On Monday night
Mr.. Van Meter teIegraphed to The
Levee Board office here for a large
number Of sacks, and asked that they
be sent up as soon as possible. Be-
fore the order could be sent out an
other message came from Australia
calling imperatiYely for double the
number of sacks, to be sent up on
SPECIAL al once Major Starting
thinking this second message was of |
course sent by Mr.. Van Meteor. imme- |
distely procured the special aud went
up to Australia himself with the sacks.
When he arrived be was relieved and
surprised to find everything serene
aud the levec IN 10 danger. It trans
pred that the scare message bad been
sent by an entirely unauthorized per-
son, who bad siaip'y become alarmed
aud taken It upon himself to order
the sacks. The report got abroad in
GrccuvilIe that Australia was broken,
aud great CONSERVATION onsuoj. 1t is
little short of crime TO start such re-
ports as these. 1t is q time when
men should weigh their words aud
think before they speak or act, and
much more before they telegraph.

THE yorE on the TARIFF BlLL.

Repnbiican 0bjsctsss vfn Not Cast
Their Votes Agafhpt II.
Washin8ton, Mareh d. 4@rAsty feeling
ran shigh during tina last day Of the
tarin debate In the house. Political
speeches were wedged In at every op-
portunity, and there was constant
maneuvering for political advantage.
The opposition directed their efforts, a.
far as possible, toward stirring UP dis
sension on the Republican side, but
they succeeded only in exposing a
single instance Of revolt. That was on
the, subject Of free hides. The Demo-
Gratis pressed the question Of duty on
hides for the benefit Of the farmer with
such vigor that Mr.. Hepburn, an Iowa
Republican, was drawn into the debate
and made a strong plea for dutiable
hides Mr.. Cannon, Of Illinois, also
gave qualified Endorsement to this
demand.
The Republican leaders defended
their bill with yigor. The ways and
means committee held the floor with
their amendments from 10 In the morn
Ing to In the afternoon. About IS
were offered and adopted. Among
them was one admitting free Of duty
books, scientific apparatus, charts,
maps. etc." for scientific and educa-
tional purposes. After that Ave more
pages of the bill were read, making 20
pages in all of the 1852 pages Of the bill.
The voting on the bill will begin at
o'clock today. There is some talk of
number of Republican votes being cast
against the bail, but after investigation
1t seems probable that there will be no
break In the Republican ranks.
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, made a
long speech In the senate on the un-
constitutionality Of tariff taxes beyond
those requisite for revenue. Mr. Allen
severely criticized the trusts and
combinations, which he declared reap
ed the main advantage of the tariff
taxes Mr. Morgan, of Alabama, intro
duced resolution requesting the presi-
dent for copies Of the letters said to
have been written by General Gomez,
the Cuban commander, to Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Mckinley. The senate
spent most of the time in executive
session.

ADVICE ON
.s,
GAS MATTERS.

If your light is poor there is
something locally wrong, as your
gas is the same as is supplied to
any other customer.
II your burners spread the light
like lthe fingers Of a hand, they
should be cleaned out or replaced;
cleaners furnished without charge.
Ifyou have old-iashioned shades
with small openings at the bottom
you should change them at once to
get best results from yourgas.
Ifyour Welsbach lights are not
as good as they were formerly, they
probably need new nantes or
other attention.
lfyour stoves do not give out
heat as formerly,the openings may
wanting clean out.
Architects should plan Tor liber-
al sized gas pipes in in all houses,
even if other illumination is con-
tenplated.
Large gas pipes should be put
In all houses, because gas is used
in more rooms than was formerly
the custom, and because heating
and cooking stoves are largely
used now and are mostly placed
at the farthest distance from the
meter and need a full flow of gas:
Builders and owners OF new
houses should see that gas pipes
are put in every house, because
purchasers or renters will expect
to have the advantage Of COMPETE
tion in illumination even II they
do not want to use gas at present.
Houses will sell better or rent
better if they have gas pipes In
them.
Gas consumers should watch
their own meters so as to be satisfied
with their bills; meters are so SIM
pie that any intelligent person can
read them and thus know the cost
OF their gas as time passes.
Housekeepers should admit no
one to their houses on the pretense
ofbeing sent from the Gas Office
unless the applicant is personally
known or can show the silver
badge and the lettered cap of COM
pany
All houses should have an out
side light burning all night to illu-
inmate their side and back build
ings, and should also keep some
lights burning all night in rooms
and halls to keep off burglars; it is
far better to use few thousand ex
ira feet of gas each year than to
have the house robbed once.
Dollar gas makes the cheapest,
best and safest light, and the most
convenient fuel yet produced.
Now is the time to order Cook |
ing Ranges for Summer; ample hot |
water for family bathing, can be
supplied with them, while the tenn |
perature Of the kitchen is bearable |
and the remainder Of the house left |
cool and comfortable.
For further advice or information
apply at Gas Office, S27 Market St.
where Sample Lights, Stoves and
Ranges can be seen.
