FLOOD HORRORS.
Fifteen Dead Bodies Found in the
Water

Water.
Vicksburg (Miss.) special: The refugees
who came from Davis Island on the gov
ernment steamer, John r. Meigs, and the
steamer Atlanta, report the drowning OF
eleven persons, all colored, on Davis is
land. Homer Moore, Pete Clements and
wife and Henry Garland were drowned
on the Hurricane plantation. The other
seven, who are reported drowned on other
parts OF the island, are women and chill
dren from the Palmyra place. The loss
OF stock on the island has been very great.
The steamer Florence remains at
the island to rescue people and
ferry stock over to the Louisiana
mainland. A special from Natchez,
Miss, says it was thought that all on Da-
Wis Island had escaped after the crevasse,
but fifteen bodies have been found floating
around the old Brierfield plantation,
which was the homestead of Jefferson
Davis. The surviving inhabitants are
huddledin in tents on top Of the levee.
From appearances this overflow will be
worse than ever before known.

near Mount Analysis, between the
Turks and Greeks. 1t is further stated
that the Turks were the aggressors, hay-

Two SOrr Sons OF Their Fathers.
There is no reason in the world why
Colonel Fred D. Grant and John A.
Logan should feel so sore over their
failure to obtain the places they wished
under the new administration. They
aspired to office not on their own mer-
its, but on account of the achievements
of their fathers. The fact that Colonel
Grant and Mr.. Logan are sons of illus
trious sires does not and should not
interfere with their ambition to office
or impair their opportunities of fulfill
ing it. But neither does it constitute
n reason for their appointment to
places for which they have neither nat
ural nor acquired qualifications.-Kan

Absurdity of "A Duty on Coal.

a duty on coal is Il mOnstrous alb

to a distance eats up the profit. The

with this natural course of trade is in
credible folly. We export much more

Their theory is that when one party

body will remember very long. 1t is,
however. very like the theory of the
man who assured Father Noah on A
celebrated occasion that ii is not going
to be much of shower after all, and
that there is no need of being scared,
even if the water is up to ones chin.
There is evidence enough in every
part of the country to prove that this is
no ordinary reaction following the az
duOus labors of Presidential cam
paign. The situation is far more Sc
rious and portends a political revOlu-
ton. All the signs are that the Repub-
licans will be swept out of power
more completely than they We're ever
before.
Many voters have recovered from the
fright into which they were thrown
last November by the senseless cry
that the Democratic party was opposed
to sound money and favored free riot.
They see now what fools they were
made of, and they doubtless have re-
solved never to be used in the same
way again.
The figures of the Chicago election
are particularly impressive on this
point. Such turn over was never be-
fore seen in our politics in so short
time. Mckinley had plurality over
Bryan in November of $4,000. but in
the recent city election Carter Harri-
son, the courageous Democratic son of
a father noted for the same good quail
ties, had Il plurality over both the Re-
publican candidates who opposed him
one regular and the other 'inrv-
21,000, and this in spite
of the employment of the same sort Of
abuse and elaboration of
on the part of his opponents
that marked the Hanna campaign of
last year
The fight in Chicago was against the

hoods un5lushingly and wickedly circu- |
lated last year. of their broken prom !,

md tyrannical conduct generally.

bel:e-ed to be a forger, wanted by the
police of this city, was for some years
tie confidential bookkeeper of the Wall
! street firm of Jones, Kennett & Hopkins.
He was always considered a steady man
until his sudden disappearance on Sept
l, 1891 Upon the examination of his
books. it was found that Stout had forged
the firms name to checks on the Holland
! Trust company of SO Cedar street to the
sum of S16,00O Nothing was heard of him
for some time, until finally it was learned
that he was in London, where he was
doing business with a firm of American
brokers in that place with the firm name
of John Shaw. In London he was known
as Appleton, and il was said made con-
sidera BILE money buying and selling
American stocks. Detectives were sent
to London, but he had disappeared.
He was traced from London to Ant
werD, and from there TO Paris where he
adopted the name of Graham and then
suddenly disappeared.
Several years went by. and nothing was
heard from him. Finally the Holland
Trust company asked the police of tnis
city. a short time ago, TO again take up
the case. and more circulars were sent
abroad and to the police OF every city in
also offered q reward of $3.50 for his ar
rest. but nothing was heard from him
until Friday last, when Captain . Brien
received a telegram from Cincinnati an
nouncing his arrest there. The trust
company who were the sufferers of
Stouts forgeries, were notified of the
information from Cincinnati and c. 1.
Libaire, who knew Stout, was sent to
that city to see if he could identity him.
He identified him as Stout, and also sent
word that the prisoner would come to
this city without the necessary requisition

O'Briens staff left here today to bring

1t is also said by the police that they
think Stout has forged checks on the
Seaboard National bank to the extent of
nearly $4,000, and that they will also
prosecute him.
A reporter called at POI West One
Hundred and Tenth street where Mrs.
Stout resides, and in reply to several
questions she admitted that the man

ative, who is now in this city, thus
unbosomed himself to a representative
of the United Associated Presses to-
night:
There has never been an event in
the history of sport of the same mag
nitude, or one calculated to attract so
much interest as the forthcoming Cor
bett-Fitzsimmons glove contest. Pro-
visions will be made to seat 5000 peo-
pie at whatever point in Nevada may
subsequently be chosen by Mr.. Stuart
as the scene of the fight, and present
indications tend to show that this ac-
ton will be no more than is absolutely
necessary. Sporting Editor Hoseman
of Chicago has wired me to say that
he has arranged for a train of nine
cars from that city alone and Nose
Gunst of San Francisco informs me
that he will invite a party of 100, while
the fact that in the east the weather
during March is generally of the most
wretched description, guarantees a
large influx of sporting men from the
Atlantic Seaboard.
THE question of admission fees will
be taken up when Stuart arrives in
San Francisco, which he is expected
to do toward the end of this week.
Eastern papers are already making
elaborate arrangements to procure ex-
tended reports of the contests.

Trenton, n. J., Jan. 31.-Mrs. Bal
lington Booth, formerly of the Saliva
ticn army, and head of the American
volunteers, is a visitor at the state
prison here, with the object of securing
members from among the convicts for
her organization. She delivered two ad-
dresses, one this morning and the other
in the afternoon. in which she eX-
planned to the prisoners the character
of the work she was now engaged in.
Her audience in each address consisted
of about 500 convicts, and there were
present besides, as invited guests, Mrs.
Emily Williamson of the State Char
ties Aid association; Mayor Yard, of
Trenton; Senator Voorhees,, of Union
county; Speaker Macpherson. of the
house of assembly, and a few others.
Mrs. Booth informed the prisoners that
eight months ago she had dedicated
the remainder of her life to the service
of men and women in the prisons of
this country. She loved them and
could and would help those who wanted
to lead better lives. There were outside
the prisons many people worse than
those inside. Her organization she ex-
planned, was the Volunteer Prison
League. Homes would be established
for eX-prisoners or graduates" as she
preferred to call them and detectives
and policemen would not be permitted
to cross their thresholds. In New
York she had established a Hall of
Hope, in which she expected to shelter
many graduates
She expected about 100 of them down
from Sing Sing next April.
Rev. George Maddox, chaplain of
the state prison and the prison quar-
tette. took part in the exercises and
nearly 800 prisoners declared their in
tention of joining Mrs. Booths league.
Tomorrow, Mrs. Booth will go into
the cells of the prisoners for individual
work. which is even more effective. She
intends visiting, in turn, all the great
prisons. Financial help will be forth
coming, she says, for the establishment
of several homes similar to the Hall of

His Theme Was Liberty"

Fort Monroe, Va, Jan. S1.-Founder's
day, the birthday of the late General
S. c. Armstrong, founder of the Hamp-
ton institute, in Virginia, was cele-
brated at the school yesterday evening
by exercises in which the students,
negro and Indian, took part, and today
by an address by Professor Woodrow
Wilson of Princeton university. He
took for his theme Liberty liberty
according to its meaning in different
ages and by different people, and as it
is understood today by the most en-
lightened people. His tribute to Cen
eral Arfnstrong's character and work
was simple and graceful, and as a
native himself of Virginia, he
claimed, if not of General Arm
strong's birth. his life work was
for the state already noted for
it's great men. The Rev. DR.. Nc
Vickar of Philadelphia spoke in the
evening. Quite a large party from
Philadelphia was present and many
from Fortress Monroe and the town of
Hampton.

BOLT TRUST BUSTS.
Prices Have Fallen Twenty Per
Cent Within Three Days.

Chicago, Jan. 31.-A morning paper
says: The bolt trust has collapsed and
prices have fallen 20 per cent within
the last three days. The market is still
demoraliZed with values uncertain and
irregular and there are prospects of still
further decline next week.
The bolt trust included in its control
the manufacturers of machine and car
riage bolts and nuts and lag screws. 1t
was formed shortly after the nail trust
and J. II. Parks. of Boston, as com
missioner" drew a subsidy of ) cents
a keg on the entire output of the manu-
facturers as long as prices We're main
tained. Though the combination ad
vanced prices 80 per cent it did not so to
the extortionate lengths of its sister or
ganization and for that reason has lived
longer.
The Shovel trust which was formed
about the time of the bolt agreement is
still working satisfactorily. Prices are
30 to- 100 per cent higher than before
the agreement was formed. but it is gen
erallv conceded that the shovel and
spade men now in the combine were los
ing money at the prices which prevailed
previously. The plant of a Pfttsburg
manufacturer, the largest in America,
which burned down just before the trust
formed. has been rebuilt put has not
been put in working order. In trade
circles it is known that the trust pays
to keep the plant idle. and. as a local
dealer expressed it. the plant makes
money but no ShoVelS.

SPANISH WEST INDIES.
Queen Regent Christina Agrees to
Grant Reforms.

London. JAN 31.-The Standards S
Madrid correspondent telegraphs that
Queen Regent Christina will on Thurs
day next sign at a meeting of the cab
met the prime minister's scheme for
reforms in the Spanish West Indies.
The scheme was devised after several
conferences with the leading conserya-
tive senators and the Marquis de
Apezteguia, the leader of the Cuban
conservatives, who is now in Madrid.
The reforms will go into operation in
Cuba as soon as the pacification of the
island will permit. The scheme will
state that the government is willing to
entertain suggestions as to West In
dian tariff reforms and the subsequent
Improvement of commercial relations
with the United States. The whole
matter will be handled cautiously. The
correspondent adds that it would be
premature to suppose that the scheme
will effect in Cuba autonomy similar to
that enjoyed by the Australian
colonies and the Dominion of Canada.

Outlaws Are Doubtless Known.

Roseburg, Or. Jan. Sit is believed
by the authorities that the outlaws
engaged in Thursday nights Southern
Pacific hold-up near here are in town.
The outside search for the present has
been abandoned, and the suspects are
being so closely shadowed that it is
impossible for them to get away. To-
day the fact was also disclosed that
during the past week considerable dyn-
amite was stolen here, which presum-
ably was used in the contemplated
robbery.
The authorities will give nothing fur
ther for publication for prudential rea-
sons, but it is believed that the out
laws belong in this locality and that
sufficient evidence will be accumulated
in a few days to warrant arrests.
