ORDERS FOR THE FLEET
IN HONOR OF THE MEMORY OF
GRANT
An Imposing Display Of War ves-
sells Of Our Own and of For
eign Nations

NEW YORK. April 21.-Admiral
Bunce today prepared general orders
for the fleet.
The United States men-of-war will
leave Tompkinsville at o'clock Sun
day morning and proceed to their anchor
age in North river, opposite the Grant
tomb. 1t is thought thai the foreign ves-
sells will be at anchor on the day before
the review. The United States revenue
cutters and lighthouse tenders will be
at anchor astern of the men-of-war by
1880 p. M, April 27. The merchant ma
rine will start on the parade from off
Red Hook at 2 o'clock, and will reach a
pointsopposite the tomb at the same time
that the land column reaches it. At a
signal from near the tomb, when the
marching column halts before the
structure the flagship New York will give
the national salute of 21 guns. At the
same time merchant vessels will salute
by dipping their flags for half a minute.
The national salute Of 81 guns, at inter-
vals OF four seconds, will be given by the
United States ships in turn, following
the flagship. Admiral Bunce will invite
the foreign vessels to take part In the
salute, and 1t is possible that all vessels
allowed by the regulations to fire salutes
will participate.
After the salutes by the merchant ma
rine, that division of the fiotilla will pass
up between the two lines of warships and
around stake boat about half mile
north Of the New York. 1t will then pass
down to the west of the vessels, saluting
them by dipping flags as the head of the
column comes abreast of the New York.
The fleet Of war vessels will be draped
in rainbow fashion, with string of
flags extending from stem to stern over
the mastheads.
j. G. Sobral, naval attache to the Span
ish legation, has announced that the
Sapnish warships Maria Teresa and In
fanta Isabella will be in port on April "a,

By Continuous Breaking
of Banks
THE PROMISED LAND LEVEE
LEAVES MAYoRsvILLE AT THE
WATERS MERCY
Large Portions of Four Mississippi
Counties Are Already Under
10 Feet of Water
Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
GREBNVILLE, Miss, April 21.-
There was another break in the levee
on the Mississippi side at Shipland, or
the Promised Land levee, at 10 o'clock
this morning, forty miles by rail south
of Greenville.
The break will cover $4,000 acres of
land near the flood district, and will
add to the volume of water covering al
most all of the land in it's vicinity. The
levee is ten feet high and the break is
fully 300 feet wide. There was foot
on the inside of the levee when 1t gave
way. The break will entirely submerge
Mayorsville, the county seat of the coun-
ty, a town of 400 people. The town is
situated twelve miles north of the break.
From Mayorsville south to the Yazoo
river, every plantation in Issaqueena
and thirds Of those in Sharkey,
besides a number of others in Yazoo and
Warren counties, will be put under
water from ten to twenty feet deep.
While this section was in q large
measure already overfiowed, there were
hundreds of farm houses and cabins
and numerous ridges and mounds and
hastily erected scaffolds which still af-
forded protection to man and beast.
These are now being rapidly abandoned
and terror reigns.
SAVERS SCHEME
WASHINGTON, April 21-Repre-
sentative Sayers of Texas, who was
chairman of the appropriations commit
tee in the last Democratic congress, and
who has had much experience in deal
Ing with government works, suggests a
plan for a comprehensive settlement
OF the Mississippi river problem. Mr..
Sayers would have the United States
government ask the engineers of the
world to consider the problem of con-
trolling the Mississippi and to present
reports for a permanent system, so
that he government might adopt the
ideas of the best engineering talent.
For this purpose he suggests that a
competition might be brought about
by an offer of prizes, perhaps $4,000
for the plan which should be considered
best and 5000 for the second best,
Inducements sufficient to attract the
best engineers in the world. those who
have dealt with such works as the Suez
canal and the dykes of Holland.
RELIEF MEASURES
vICKSBURG, Miss, April 21-Three
thousand flood sufferers were issued
rations here today and this total will
be considerably increased, it is be-
lieved.
Government supplies were sent out
tonight by steamer. both up and down
the river. This will check the tendency
to congregate here. Tents for 1000 per-
sons were received today, and arrange
ments will be made to erect them. They
will relieve a state Of unhealthful over
crowding.

MONTANA BANKERS
Still Under Bonds, Charged With
Embezzlement

SALT LAKE, Utah. April 21.-A Tri-
bune dispatch from Helena, Mont, says:
United States Circuit Judge Bellinger Of
Oregon today quashed the indictments
of embezzlement against e. D. Edger-
ton, former president of the First Ma
tional bank Of Helena, and against As
sistant Cashier George H. Hill and e.
w. Beattie. who were charged at the
last term OF court with misappropri-
ating and permitting the fnisappropria-
tion of valuable securities from the
bank. Judge Bellinger decided on two
points-the permitting of Examiner
Flynn in the jury room while other wit
nesses were being examined and the
fact that the defendants were examined
without being informed that it was their
own conduct that was under investiga-
ton, saying that both are fatal to the
indictment. The defendants were or
dered to give $4,000 bonds each to await
the action of another grand jury, which
was sworn in today

the woman's trouble was starvation.
They ordered that she be temporarily
housed in the county jail and we'll fed.

The charge made by the Engineering and Mining Journal of New York, that the law requiring safety cages is ignored in Butte, is denied by State Mine In. spector Byrne. He stated that few of the mines in Butte are not equipped with safety cages for the reason that the mines Tn question would probably change from cages to skips ct an early date and on that account the inspector had not pressed the matter of compel ling the owners 10 place safety sppli- ances on the cages now in use The claim has been made that the new safety cage would not work successfully in some of the shafts of the Anaconda properties. The miners at some of the Anaconds mines object to riding in the enclosed cages and would prefer taking their chances with the open cages With shift inclined to get ont of plumb the miners say that the enclosed cages would become death trap.

The product of the Edison low grade magnetic irou ore plant at Edison, N. J., will very soon be placed upon the market. The works are completed and ready for operation. It is the hope of MT Edison that the furnace men in the North Atlantic states will be able to buy this ore at a price 50 low that they will be enabled to com, pete successfully with the iron products of the lake region aud of the south. It is daring hazard and the eyeut will be watched with close attention by the vast iron interests of tue country. Mir. Edison in undertaking this problem of ore separation has been compelled to work along new lines, and the massive and intricate machinery his years of toll and invention have produced are at least monument to his genius and unhsggiDg zeal.
