Washington, May 2I.-The govern

Havemeyer, the president of the
American Sugar Refining company.
Mr.. Johnson of Philadelphia, the lead
ing counsel for the defense, moved
that the judge instruct the jury to
find the defendant not guilty on six
groundS-tIst, that the question as TO
the local and state contributions Of the
sugar company was beyond the juris-

If the witness were to be held recusant
1t was the duty of the committee to

THE FLOOD At Ell PAsO
People Moving From the Endsn.
GereL Parts Of the City.

FL Faso. Tex, May ~. - The Rio
Grande continues to rise, and an army
of men are strung out on Sixth street
working on the new levcc that was
thrown up when the old levee broke.
The levec in front Of City Recorder
Patterson's residence has broken. The
waters rushed into the house, almost
drowning Mr.. Patterson and a friend.
The recorder had just moved his fam.
lily out. The house vas washed away,
together with Il dozen others in the
neighbOrhOod. Every wagon in Ell
Paso is engaged moving people from
parts of the city endangered by the
Hood. Several hundred poor Mexican
citizens who resided on the river front
have had their houses washed away
and are camping out. Most of them
saved nothing. barely escaping with
their lives from their crumbling adobe
houses. so far as can be learned nc
lives were lost in the food. 1t is
feared that the FL PaSo street levee
will break tonight. If so a portion Of
the business part of the city will be
flooded.

CHAPTER XII.-CCoNTISUED,.
OF SENTTIS S/CW "
RAND. NEWLY & CO.

St1hI Elt
But when the I'd ana Sd OF May had
come and gone and still not a speck
was visible upon the vast expanse OF
ocean around them, he took a more
serious view of the matter, and thought
1t his duty to speak about 1t.
"Johnstone." he said, when the others
had retired for the night. have you
taken your bearings today? Do you
know where we are?"
Yes, sir: within an easy days sail
of the island"
Then we shall have been twelve days
coming a thousand miles. How's that?'
The other was silent.
IT told you" Dick continued, that
should hold you answerable; now l give
you warning that I'm not satisfied so
far"
I'll warrant you'll be satisfied enough
by his time tomorrow" grumbled
tombstone, in a low voice.
Estcourt turned away, pretending not
to hear this remark. which. however.
in the sense In which he took it, struck
him as being a just enough retort.
That night the wind rose again, and
the sky next morning was once more
completely overcast; about noon wet
squalls began to strike the ship.
When the rain ceased for a time, to-
ward sunset, tombstone came down to
the saloon to tell them that the island
was in sight.
Dick and Camilla went up together
on deck.
There" he cried, as he stepped from
the main hatch. she's on the larboard
bow. 1 knew the fellow had gone wide of
his course
And in fact the island, which should
have lain before them to the right, was
visible just upon the lefthand side Of
the line of the bowsprit.
Camilla scarcely heard his exclama-
ton. She was standing motionless,
with one hand on the capstan to sup
port herself. gazing aloft at a small
flock of birds that were wheeling swift
ly round and round the topmasts.
Dick turned to speak to her, and start
ed to see the look OF bewilderment upon
ward, and was wen more amazed.
"St. Helena!' he murmured. Great
heaven, what can this mean?" And he
ran downstairs to find tombstone, shout
ing for him by his name.
The voice of NJ. de Montaut answered
him from the captains cabin; h door
was aJar, and he stepped hastily in.
On one side stood tombstone and the
colonel, on the other side lay the cap-
tain's berth; it was empty.
"Where is Worsley?" he cried, in
fresh establishment.
tombstone laughed; the colonel held
Gp his hand to rebuke him
What Ices all this mean" Dick *
claimed. I'VE are at st. Helena!'
My dear Estcourt." said the colonel.
II nave long owed you an explanation;
if you will come into the saloon / shall
he happy to give it you"

made at 7O5c. Moderate selling for Liv-
erpool account was again a feature, and
after the opening prices sagged until
March had sold at 7.01c. The receipts were
small. and if there Were speculative de-
mand there was also little or no pressure
to sell and the market closed steady with
7.02c bid for March. The transa ctions on
the exchange to-day were lighter than on
any previous day in the recent dull spell"
New York, Feb. 2.-The Sun says of cot
ton: ''The speculation in cotton to-day al
most came to a standsull. The trading
was intensely dull and featureless and the
fluctuations in prices were few and unm-
portant, while the total sales for the day
were a mere bagatelle. Prices declined
slightly during the morning session on
disappointing Liverpool advices and SELL
ing by local longs. Before the close part
of the loss was recovered, owing TO the
absence of pressure to sell. The compar-
atively small interior movement for the
week was a favorable factor and induced
some buying. New Orleans bought here
and Liverpool 10th bought and sold. 1t
was reported that the plan to curtail the
production of 3,500,O00 spindles at Fall
River for thirteen weeks had gone into
effect, but this had little if any influence
upon the market, as it is estimated that
curtailed production will lessen the con-
sumption of cotton only 5000 bales maxi
mum for the thirteen weeks.
