A CRISIS IN LOUISIANA.
The Louisiana Main Levee system
Has at Last Given Way to the Fear
ful Onslaught Of the Missis-
sippi River.

Memphis, Tenn, April IA crisis hat
arrived in northern Louisiana. The
mighty force of nature has won the fight
Last night at 10 O'Clock workers on the
levee at Biggs, four miles below the delta
Louisiana, we're Mortified to see sudden
bulge in the embankement, and small
yellow stream began to trickle through
the aperture. moment later there was
a crash. The Louisiana main system had
at last succumbed to the fearful onslaught
of the Mississippi river. A general
alarm was sounded and the inhabitants
of the vicinity began moving their most
valuable effects. In thirty minutes the
orevasse had increased from dozen feet
to so yards, and the water. was pouring
through the opening with fearful
velocity.
This is strip of swamp about two
miles wide immediately behind the levea
where the break occurred, and beyond
that are many of the finest plantations of
northern Louisiana. Unless the crevasse
can be stopped the overhowed area will
include all the lower half of Madison par
lsh, and all of Tensas and Concordla
parishes. The water will then flow into
Tensas river, and should that stream
prove unable to carry the great volume
of water into the main channel the flood
ed area will extend to franklin and a
part of Oatahula parish, and take the
Fifth district levee, where the board has
concentrated nearly 1000 men.

APOLOGY AND RE TRACTION,
The New York sun Makes Retrac-
tien or Charges Published Against
Frank K. NOyes Of the washing
tDn star Two ears Ago

New York, April 1.-THE New York
Sun this morning CONTAINS the following
editorial statement: ION February %,
1895, the Sun published an editorial ar
ticle entitled, "The Work of Rascals," in
which certain severe structures we're made
on Frank E. Noyes of the Washington
Star. We desire to correct our statement
referring to Noyes,. and to withdraw the
remarks rejecting either upon his per-
sonal or business integrity. The article
was written under q misap pprehension as
to the facts in the cass, and we regret its
publication in the Hun as doing grave 10.
Justice to gentleman whose character is
above rsproach." The foregoing pub
lished apology and retraction follows the
publication Of an editorial In the 6un two
years ago, intended % serious rsfec.
tion on the Associated Press and It's man
agemsnt. The gist Of the article WAS
that the Associated Press would inevit-
ably fail in its purpose as news 0rgani-
cation, owing to the supposed disclosures
thus made.
The statements and predictions therein
made since have been entirely disproved
BY The inexorable Law Of time. In the
Snn editorial, Frank b. Noyes, one Of the
owners Of the Washington Star, and d.
rector Of the Associated Press, was Sin.
glsd out for personal attack, without ap.
parent motive, other than malice. The
grand jury Of the District Of Columbia
returned indictments Of criminal libel
against Charles a. Dana and William r.
Laffan. The United States oircuit Judge
at New York City refused 10 extfadite.
Noyes then instituted action for libel 10
the U. 8. Circuit court Of New York, and
the CASE Was TO hsss come up for trial
this week, but the 6un offered, Instead OF
going 10 court, 70 publish an aisqua
rstraction, and 70 PAY Al COSTS.

ing from the Penitentiary to the
Territorial Insane Asylum
at Las Vegas.

Colonel Bergman, superintendent of
the penitentiary, upon Recommendation
of the prison physician, this morning
transferred Remigio Sandoval and Pedro
Malta from the penitentiary to the New
Mexico insane asylum at Las Vegas.
Sandoval, known as convict 100, is serv-
ing life sentence from San Miguel
county for murder, and Pedro Malta,
convict 957, is doing year from Grant
county for assault to murder. They have
been giving the penitentiary officials a
great deal Of trouble for some time past,
and there can be no doubt that the insane
asylum is the proper place for them.
The men were taken to Las Vegas by
Guards William Hogan and Jesus Tapia.

A PROSPEROUS HOUSE.
Something About the Big Mercantile
Establishment Conducted by
3. y. Beatty.

Mr.. s. s. Beatty is one of Santa Fe'f
most prosperous and enterprising citi
zens and holds high place in mercantile
circles, having been in business here
since 1879. He is native of Ohio but
as young man he removed to Kansas
and for IA years in that state he was a
successful contractor and builder. In
1879 he came to Santa Fe, N. M., and
shortly after arrival here, he opened a
produce store on small scale by way of a
feeler. He considered the outlook pros.
porous, and accordingly added stock of
general groceries to the line that he had
commenced with. The business to which
he gave his whole time, and his best en-
ergies, expanded rapidly, and from time
to time side lines were introduced in
stock, until the business came to embrace
greater variety than any other mercan-
tile establishment in the city. At the
present time, in addition to full stock
of staple and fancy groceries, he carries
provisions, hay, grain, lumber, etc. He
does wholesale business in -four, grain,
and general produce. The grocery trade
is principally retail. A bakery and lum-
ber yard are branches of Mr.. Beaty's ex-
tensive business.

Cause for Alarm.

st. Louis, Mo-, April 1.-THE river
here this morning showed decline of 3
Of foot for the past "a hours, and the
prediction is that it will change but little
during the next two days. Above here,
however, slight rises are marked on the
Missouri at Bonneville and Kansas City,
and on the Mississippi at Hannibal, Keo-
kuk and Davenport. The local weather
observer at Frankenfeld thinks the Mis-
souri, will continue to rise slowly, and
that the upper Mississippi will also rise
gently, but that no danger is indicated
south of Keokuk, with water now in
