WILLIAM X. VANDERBILT.
Has Blossomed Out as Cotillion
Leader.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30-William K.
Vanderbilt has bfossomed out as
cotillion leader, and society claps It's
gloved hands in demure appreciation.
The innovation means that the most
sprightly and by far the most popular
member of the Vanderbilt family mas
finally cast beyond him the matrlmo-
NAL griefs which found their climax in
the divorce court. 1t means that the
owner Of superb town and country
houses and of the renowned yacht
Valiant has foresworn sackclotf ana
ashes in favor of a beau's career 1t
means that the most elaborate eaten
in the marriage market has definitely
placed himself in rivalry with the
bachelors. And society is at loss to
name any bachelor who can compare
with Mr. Vanderbilt in wealth., good
looks, jollity and personal character

NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-A correspond
ent Of the Herald" has returned to Ha-
vana after having visited the camp OF
General Gomez.
After a long and perilous ride through
country infested with Spanish troops
he reached Gomez camp on December
18th, and found the General in excellent
health and spirits. He was able Tor
the first time in many months to mount
his horse and to make long journey OF
inspection of the various camps into
which the men under his immediate
command were divided.
The correspondent put before General
Gomez the programme of autonomy, in
order to secure his opinion. The Cen
eral smiled contemptuously after
glancing over copy of Havana paper
containing the terms, and said:
There is no use wasting time in dis
cuss.ng these terms. 1t makes NO diff
ference whether they may be regarded
as liberal or not. The fact remains
that We are not fighting for autonomy
but for independence. This Spain seems
utterly unable to realize.

At one time ovcralls, blouses.

found it no easy task to make

Grave Apprehension Exists Along the

MEMPHIS, April 23.-No new Gre
vases have appeared in the levee to-
day but the current of the river is
still beating against the southern en-
bankment with fury that causes the
gravest apprehension.
The break at Delta has inundated
1900 acres of the finest plantations in
Northern Louisiana, and the water con-
tinues to pour through the opening and
is rapidly spreading over a greater
area.
Reports from Greenville are not en-
couraging. While the water is slowly
receding in the overlooked districts of
the Yazoo delta, yet it is almost GER
tam that the planting of this years
crop will be thirty days late The ne
gro Iaborers are in a fearful state OF
restitution throughout the delta, al
though the Government relief work
Is being carried on energetically.

The Supreme Court Affirms the De-
CisiOn of the Lower Court.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-The Su-
preme Court has affirmed the decision
of the lower court of Alameda County,
which pronounced the death penalty
against Benjamin L. Hill for the muir
der of his wife, Anges, in Oakland on
January II, 1896.
Hill was a railroad man, and on ac-
count of scarcity of work had been in
Oregon for some time, leaving his wife
and child in Oakland. On his return Hill
met his wife on the street, asked her to
live with him, but she refused, and he
alleged that she had been unfaithful TO
him. He claims that she admitted the
charge of infidelity Thereupon he shot
her, from the effects of which she died
in few minutes.
Upon his arrest Hill acknowledged the
act and asserted that he desired to have
the law take its course. He afterWard
changed his mind, and fought the
charge of murder against him. The
jury brought in a verdict of murder
without recommendation. and Hill ives
sentenced to be hanged. He appealed
upon the ground that the jury had been
improperly charged; that testimony
against him had been improperly adj
mitted but relied for a reversal prin-
cipally upon the fact that the court did
not provide a blank form of verdict of
guilty of murder in the second degree
for the jury. The court, meeting this
contention, says that if the jurors con-
clude upon a verdict other than one
furnished to them they have the power
to write a verdict in conformity with
their opinion.

The Floral Parade a rIost Brilliant
Affair.

LOS ANGELES, April 23.-To-day
was Floral Day of La Fiesta Such a
lavish display of flowers and such
wide variety of design and color have
never before been seen at the carnivals.
"A high wind prevailed during the day,

pied the commanding place, and before
the throne the long line of flower be-
decked equippages passed in review.
Immediately the last OF the line had
passed the Queens stand. the battle of
flowers began, and the field was soon
strewn with flowers ankle deep. The
merrymaking was kept up for a long
time and then the line was reformed
and the march through the streets of
the city began.
The crowds along the streets We're
greater than ever to-day. Many Of
the surrounding cities and towns took
part in the floral parade. and large
delegations from every place were here
to see and hear the praises of their
respective homes
The line was formed with the Amer
icus Club of Pasadena at the head
and then came the Queen and her court
in carriages. escorted by the Queens
Lancers. In the second division was
the Floral Queens float and twenty liv-
ing bouquets. This, with a six-horse
coach from Pasadena, completed the
division. The Jonathan Club in a six
horse coach and several six and four
finland coaches made the third divis-
ion. Two-horse rigs. novelty teams
tandems and single rigs comprised the
fourth division, and the following di-
visions contained also the horseback
riders, pony riders, dog carts, ladies'
on horseback and the children's rigs.
The caballeros and cyclists came in the
rear.
The water carnival was held tonight
at West Lake Park. The Queen was in
attendance and reviewed the wonderful
illumination. A reproduction of the ia

Fair was one of the features. There
was also a great dragon with living
