Run OUT OF PARIS,
An English Labor Leader Lacks
Courage of His Convictions.


An English Labor Leader Lacks the
Courage of His Convictions.
PARIS, FRANCE, May 14.-Tom Mann,
the English labor leader, who has been in
Paris since Monday agitating tie organi-
zation of trades unions, was to address a
large meeting tonight. This morning
Mann was notified by the police that he
would not be allowed to speak and must
quit the country within twenty-four
hours. He promptly showed the white
feather and left without more ado.
Mann has been boastng greatly for
some time past that he would stir up the
Parisians so that there would be plenty
of trouble before long. He even went so
far as to intimate that the days Of 1889
might be repeated. The police have been
watching him for some days past. They
did not want him to cause any trouble
nor did they wish to arrest him until. they
were absolutely forced to do so. Because
of their inaction Mann thought that they
would let the matter drop and would al
low him to speak. He found out to-day,
however, that he was mistaken.

EXTRA PILOTS
Steamboat NaVigatorS
Liable to Be Shot
by Guards.
Desperate Measures Adopted
to Protect the Southern
LeVeeS.
Damage Done by the Floods in
Louisiana Not as Great as
at First Reported.

NEW ORLEANS La, May 14.-Simon
Leblanc, Levee Commissioner of Iber-
vile Parish, in notice published in the
papers, warns the steamers Ouachita,
Leathers, Speed and others that he has
instructed day and night levee guards to
open fire on any steamboats, coming too
near the levee or travelling too fast.
Boats are advised to provide extra pilots
so as to have them ready to take the places
of regular pilots in case the latter are shot
by levee guards. The pilots reply that in
case one of their number is shot it will
assure crevasse as the boat will become
unmanageable. dash against the bank and
destroy the Ievee beyond all question.
The Tensas and Black rivers and the
backwater of the Tensas basin swamp
have all come 10 a standsJill, indicating
that Biggs crevasse has reached maxi
mum and done all the harm it can. From
this time ON there will be decline not
only of the river itself, but in the over
flowed section.
1t is now possible to estimate the dam
age in Louisiana caused by the overflow
and it is much less than was first estl-
mated. The actual area of cultivated
lands overfowed was: Madison. 80 per
cent; Tensas, Is per cent; Concordia ia, 20
per cent; Catahoula, Is per cent. AL
though Biggs crevasse is the largest ever
known in Louisiana, the pecuniary dam
age IS far behind many previous years.
The actual amount OF cotton destroyed by
the overflow will not exceed 280O0 bales,
and it is probab BILE some OF the land over
flowed can yet be repIanted in cotton.
The greatest loss was inflicted in the Tensas
district. Nearly the entire working popula-
ton of the Tensas district has been taken
from farm labor to work on the levees. The
consequence is reduction in the acreage
planted in all crops. Crops meanwhile
are later than usual because of the over
flow, not in so good a condition as usual
and very much neglected.
Captain Derby, United States engineer,
in command of the district from Vicks-
burg to the gulf, says: 'In our district
the levee boards have raised about 225
miles of levees in this fight. This has
been an expensive fight. costing $500, 600. !"
The New Orleans Levee Board has de-
cided to borrow another $100, 900 in antici-
patton of the revenue of 1893. When the
flood began the board had $50, 600. This
has been spent. Four weeks ago it bor.
rowed $780, 900 on this years revenue.
Nearly all this will be exhausted to- m or
row and the board wants 10 borrow $780,
600 more, thus putting it in debt for two
years 10 come.

FLORIDA NEW SENATOR.

EE- Congress man Mallory Is Elected to
Succeed Call.
TALLAHASSEE. Fla. May 14-The
long struggle for the United States SEN
atorship was ended to-day BY the cleo
ton OF ex-Congressman Stephen Russell
Mallory of Pensacola on the twenty fifth
ballot Mallory received So votes and
Chi olev As.
Mallory is a pronounced silver man.
lie was born in Pensacola November 9,
1S48, and when only 16 years of age en-
tered the Confederate army. A few
months later, early in 1865 he was made
midshipman in the Confederate navy.
At the end of the war he entered the
Georgetown College, District of Colum bia,
was graduated in 1869, taught in the col
lege until 1871 and 4 year later was ad-
mitted to the bar in Louisiana. In 1874
he removed to Pensacola, where he has
ever since pra cticed law. He served three
terms in the florida Legislature and rep
resented his State in the F.fty-second
| Congress. He is son of Stephen Russell
Mallory, Secretary OF the Navy of the
Confederate States.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 14.-The
election of Stephen Mallory as Senator
from Florida to succeed Call surprised the
Senators. Mallory served in the House
during the Fiity-third Congress-, and his
failure to secure denomination was under
stood to be due to his opposition to the
free coinage of silver. If he has not
changed his views he will make the fourth
gold Democrat in the Senate-Grav, Lind
say and Caffery being the other three.
Mallory's election leaves but one vacancy
in the Senate-Oregon. Corbett claims
the seat by virtue of his appointment by
the Governor. the Legislature having
failed to organize.
This afternoon Burrows, Chandler and
Hoar OF the Committee on Elections and
Privileges had conference of an hour re-
garding this case. 1t was decided that
Burrows. acting chairman of the commit
tee, should call meeting of the commit
tee to consider the Corbett case. 1t is not
expected that the result will be different
from that reached in other cases OF like
character, which was that the Governor s
appointee cannot be seated. An informal
canvass of the Senate has developed the
fact that the vote against seating Corbett
is likely to be larger than in the Montana,
Washington and Wyoming cases.

WINCHESTER, KY. May 14-A thirty

Rainey, the young man who was to hang
for the murder OF Aaron Adams. It is
said that Rainey has made quite favor
able impression on some religious people
who were visiting him. They liked him
so much that they promised to make a
minister of him if he should be pardoned.
There is small hope, however, that Rainey
will be pardoned.
Despite his recent protestations OF re.
ligion. the prison officials look on him as
a thoroughly hardened and depraved
criminal, and they have been watching
him very closely to see that he did not
escape. They assert that Rainey is two
faced fellow, who assumes religion with
the people he wishes to deceive, while he
is entirely different with secular people.

FRENCH TABLES THAT SPEAK.
Stories About Tslks With Famous
Persons Who Have Passed Away.

From the New York Herald.
A table tipping fad has taken possession
of Paris. Occult influences cause the fur
nitre to oscilate. Mysterious raps slow
ly jar out words of messages from famous
persons long dead. These things occur
in the most fashionable families. If half
what is heard is true, Napoleon is thor
oughly UP to date on the affairs of the
world, and Louis XIV. knows just what
is taking place in republican France.
SO firm a hold has the new idea taken
that invitations to table tipping parties
have become as frequent as a request to
join a friend at dinner Any day one is
likely to receive this sort of a note:
Monsieur and Madame request
Monsieur -- to pass the evening OF -
with them. There VIII be table turning. -

Suddenly one OF the tables lifts at ono
side and then strikes the floor. The still.

Then the tables tip and tilt raoping upon
the floor In curious signal fashion. These
raps have a meaning like the ticks Of the
telegraph one rap means A, two raps b

whose hands are not on the tables to tn
