the Indian trouble this morning reports
that Captain Gagnon, with a seven~pound

UNEXPECTED CREVASSE.
Break i'm the Levee at COnrad's Point,
Below Baton Rouge.

NEW ORLEANS, May 60. - A crevasse
resulting from overconhdenoe and relax
alton of vigilance occurred at o'clock
this morning in the leVee at Conrad's point,
four miles by rail below Baton Rouge on
the east side of the Mississippi river. At
o'clock this morning information was re-
ceived at Baton Rogue that the levee at
Conrad's sugar house was leaking badly
and that creVasse was likely to occur
at any moment. There had been a feeling
of almost perfect security throughout that
section, and the thought of crevasse had
not entered into the calculation of things
liable to take place. There We're no labor
ers within call, as they had all been dis
charged and sent to their homes. The
levee authorities at Baton Rogue hastily
gathered together force of men, placed
them on bargeS of material which happened
to be anchored along the front of the Bur
ten sawmill, and by o'clock tug was
the scene of danger. At o'clock shortly
before the barges arrived at the plantation
the levee burst with q loud report, and
the water in a stream forty feet wide and
seven feet deep, began pouring through the
break and spreading rapidly over the fer
tile lands in the vicinity. The officials of
the Pontchartrain levee district and of the
Illinois Central Railway are on hand with
large forces of men and unlimited supplies
of material and will no doubt succeed in
closing the break before any very serious
damage is done to the adjacent planta-
tionS.
The latest news received from the Gre
vase tonight reports that it has .widened
to $50 feet and that the water is going
through about five feet deep. Several plan
tations have already been submerged and
the water is spreading in every direction;
Governor Foster has visited the break and
will have all state forces available imme-
diately concentrated there ana every effort
will be made to close the crevasse as soon
as possible. Mr.. Herman, of the leVee
board who accompanied Governor Foster
to the break thinks it can be closed, as
they have enough money, labor and ma
tefial for the purpose, though it may take
three or four days to complete the work.

Picnic in Honor of Henry Bauer and
Carl Mold Raided by Police.

PITTSBURG, Pa. May 3O.--An Anarchist
picnic at a grove near Glenwood was raid
ed to-day by the police and forty-seven

amount of bullets We're captured which, the
men said were to be used In a shooting
gallery which had not been erected at the

Bids for CIothing Reiected.

NEW YORK, May 30.-The World to-
morrow will publish the following: Com
missioner of Indian Affairs William A.
Jones said yesterday that he will reject
all bids received on. the Indian clothing
contract for the fiscal year 1898 and issue
new specifications and call for new bids to-
morrow. Commissioner Jones says that it
was found when all bids had been received
that only one firm was able to furnish the
goods in accordance with the requirements.
The specifications call for a particular
quality of satinet that is manufactured by
only two firms in this country, and their
stock had been exhausted when the invita-
tion to bidders was extended. Commission
er Jones will conduct an examination to
fix the responsibility for what he regards
as a most peculiar condition. The clothing
contract amounts TO 100000. In regard to
this Commissioner Jones said: Il have de-
cided to throw out the clothing bids and
reopen the whole business. This has been
determined upon with the full sanction of
Secretary Bliss. l do this because L want
fair Dlav and honest competition"

Wheeler, May Recover.

MONTPELIER, VT, May 30.-It now
seems possible that Mildred Brewster, who
shot and killed Annie Wheeler yesterday
and attempted suicide, may recover,
though she has a S2-calber bullet in her
brain. Drs. Chandler and MCGUIRE last
night tried to remove the bullet, but failed
to find it. Miss Brewster however, during
the last twelve hours has grown stronger
and reganed consciousness this forenoon
Being asked by DR.. Chandler if she re-
membered what she did yesterday, she re-
piled yes" and inquired if Annie Wheeler
was alive. When told she was not she
closed her eyes, but said nothing. The
doctor asked her if she still wanted to die
and she said she did

DURRANT TO HANG JUNE H.
Death Watch Placed on the Murderer
of Blanche Lamont.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, May sO.-Theodore
Durrant will hang June H. one week
from next Friday. Governor Budd this
evening telephoned that much in effect to
Warden Hale, of San Quentin, at the same
time ordering the death watch placed on

ing the message to Warden Hale the Gov
ernor was driven in a carriage to the depot.
where he took the train for San Francisco.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Governor
has made known his decision and that the
telephone message has leaked out, the same
secrecy Is being maintained regarding the
statement which the Governor has pre-
pared; and the statement will not be given
out till tomorrow.

CRUELTY IN AFRICA.
MutiIatiOn of Natives Admitted by the
Governor of Congo.

Governor of Congo.
LONDON, May Ex-Governor Wahis, of
the Congo Free State, has column letter
in the Times this morning controverting
the statements recently made by Mission
ary Sjobloms in this city at public meet
ing at Exeter Hall, where the subject of
western African Christian missions was
under consideration. He admits the truth
of many of the charges, such as the mu-
tilation and the severing of hands by the
soldiers, which, he says, is a native Gus
tom extremely difficult to eradicate. He ad-
mits that an attack was made on the viii
lage of Mandakavagigs, and that many
cruelties were pracuced there, but he de-
clares all these oftenses have either been
punished or are being investigated. The
letter is, on the whole, less a denial of the
offenses imputed by the missionaries than
a justification of the Congo administration
The Times, commenting editorially on the
reply of Governor Wahis, thinks il incom-
plete and expresses regret that the charges
aaginst the Congo Free State cannot be
submitted to d full and searching inquiry

Decision That knocks Out Postmaster
Garber's Proposed Appointment.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-The policy Of
the Postoffce Department as to the ap-
pointment of minors in the postotfices has
been definitely fixed and they will be de-
barred from chief clerkships and deputy
postmasterships, except in few of the
third-class offices where circumstances urge
their peculiar fitness. Even then they will
not be allowed to become acting post
masters on account Of the legal declara-
ton that contracts made by minors are
Voidable. This effectually bars them from
being even temporarily poStmaSterS so far
as the assumption of the real responsible
ties of that office is concerned. An instance
is at Madison, Ind, where NJ. G. CARRIER
applied for the appointment OF person
less than eighteen years old as chief clerk
and deputy postmaster An inquiry from
the postmaster has deduced the statement
that it is inadvisabe for town Of the size
of Madison having about 1000 population
to take such action. Inc department. re-
CARDS it as against public policy and the
interests of the service to appoint minors
though, except as to actual duties as post
masters no legal inhibition minors
generally is cited 1t was only short
time ago that a name was submitted for

strongest character but it was found that
the candidate was only twenty years old

Sideration.
