Breaks, and an Immense Aroa will ho
oVsrdoWed.
WCRsBURG. April 1G.-The informa-
tIon that the BigGs levee has broken
has been confirmed and the people nou-
fied to get out OF the reach Of the flood.
BIggs Is sandy leyec, generally
speaking, though # cannot be asserted
that this Is the cause OF the erevasse.
Its Importance may be estimated by
the fact that such efforts have been
expended to maintain Il. Since II o'clock
the river at Vicksburg has fallen more
than one inch, additional evidence OF
the rise OF the break. Madison parish,
whose interior is thus invaded by the
great food, is one Of the richest and
most populous parishes in north Louis
lana, in the highest state Of cultivation
and Astounding In stock. Little OF the
latter has been removed up to the pres
emit time, though the situation was rec
ognlzed as very grave indeed. The Gre
vase Will overflow an immense area.

LARSEN ENJOYED THE DUCKING.
HE CLUNG CALMLY TO THE CENTREBOARD
AND REFUSED TO BE RESCUED
WITHOUT HIS BOAT.

John Larsen is cool one lie Is Swede. and
the owner Of an eghteen-foot sioop. and yesterday
when John hshed out Of the water by the tug
Nmrod off Norton's Point. Coney Island. he amply
demonstrated the truth OF h!s oft-repeated decla-
ration that TO him the Is like a backyard to a
cat He has grown up II and in II and II has
no terrors for him. He had saved enough from
his seafarng voyages to buy sloop. and so he
settled himself on the shores Of Sheepshead Bay
and turned his talents TO eking livelihood out
Of fishing
Yesterday morning he started out as usual with
a fair breeze blowing from the south. He worked
away till time. making rather poor haul.
when he found the breeze freshcnng. His prac-
tised eye al once told him that there more
than a capfu of wind coming In from the south
before sundown and he thought harbor would be
the safest place to seek SO he hauled in his lines
and started home. running easily before the con-
stanty freshening breeze.
OF sudden when a mile off Nortons Point. a
sQuall caught his sail aback jbed II and sent the
heavirg sloop its beam ends. The water pour
Ing In quickly filed and overturned her. Then
Larsen's fun began. He easily swan around his
boat even In the heavy that running In .
serted his fingers in the centreboard sl0; and
settled himself to hang there until assistance ar
rived He felt comfortable, as his grip good
and the water not cold. Moreover. he expert
onccd alarm TO the ultimate outcome of his
really precarous position.
soop bobbed up and down on the waves before they
were sighted. The tug Nimrod saw Larsen at the
latter hour and bore down on him Then Larsens
fun increased and his Of humor overcame
entirely the seriousness Of his predcament. The
OF the Nirnrod threw him a rope in which he
became entanglcd. and ne was yankod from his
perch. The tug stopped for fear of pulling him
under and Larsen untangled himself took the end
OF the rope in his teeth aud swan back his boat
IIe carefully tied the line to the bowsprit and
yelled 10 the captain of the Nimrod:
Now. go ahead. You can't get me ashore with.
out the boat and she has got TO 20 with you now.
With this he roganed his clutch the centre
board slot.
The Nimrod's captain looked at Larsen for q
minute in amaZcment. and with chuckle Of
appreciation gave the signal to "go ahead" lie
finally beached the sloop NCrtons Point with
Larsen still clinging To II. and left him there.
When the aptain toll the story last evening TO
a Tribune reporter he said he had never seen a
cooler proceeding In the face Of real danger in his
life. "I.arscn." he said. seemed to enjoy dis
comiture when instead of saving him. as we were

SAVED ON SECOND DIVISION ON THE
DIRECT-TAX QUESTION.
Paris July 12-The Government had a mar
row escape from defeat ir the Chamber OF
Deputies to-day. The Ministers desired to post
pCne until autumn the discussion Of the bill
for the readjustment Of the direct taxes. the
passage Of which would chiefly benefit the peas
antry.
The Opposition. led by NJ. Millerand. Socialist
urged the immediate discussion Of the meas
ure.
IN the first division the Government was de-
feated by vote of 80 TO 24J.
NJ Ccchery. the Minister Of Finance, made
clever reply to NJ. Millerand and his supporters
saying that this vote implied a preference on
the part Of the Socialists for the existing sys-
tenn A scene Of wild confusion ensued, the
Socialists rising to their feet, shouting and
shaking their fists.
Another division was finally taken. and NJ
Mil!erands motion for the Immediate discus
sion Of the bill was lost by vote Of 21O to 251.
The trouble largely due to the detection Of
a section Of the Rightsts. Should this occur
again Tomorrow when the usual bill renewing
the direct taxes Is introduced, another critical
division is possible.
The downfall Of the Ministry the Of
President Faure's visit to st. Petersburg would
be most unfortunate.
