RUSSIA WANTS AN EXCUSE.
She RecOuntS the ErOrm;ty of the
ObStinacy of Greece.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 4.-The
journal de ST. Petersburg" (semi- offi-
ciaD, says:
Inc aggressive and progressive atti-
tude that Greece maintains with such
deplorable obstinacy compeis the Pow
ers to blockade the Gulf of Athens
Greece, by keeping Colonel Vassos in
Crete, is exposing the Cretans to all
the disadvantages of a blockade there.
She illustrates the restoration of peace;
she prevents the Powers from learning
the real wishes of the inhabitants of
Crete, which can only be ascertained
by the Powers after the removal of the
influence of an interested pressure.
The reports of the Consuls in Crete
and of the Admirals of the internation-
al fleets show the utter impossibilty at
the present moment of communicating
directly with the Cretans, who are sub
jected to the overwhelming influence of
the Greek detachment in the island
and kept back in places inaccessible to
European negotiations.
Colonel NasSOS has practically de-
clared war against the Powers More
over, certain eXtravagant and habitual
formenters of disorder Historically adj
vocates a declaration by Greece against
Turkey on the sixth of April or on the
date when the blockade of Greece COM
mences.
We refuse to believe that any such
extraordinary act of folly will be COM
mitted, but in the event of it happening
Greece Will certainly have to endure
the most serious consequences If
Greece wishes war at any price, she can
count on the support of no one, what
ever the result may be of a conflict so
wantonly provoked. The Powers will
never consent to the aggressors deriv-
ing the slightest advantage from vic
tory in such a struggle.
After the Powers have exhausted all
possible means at their disposal to
spare Greece the sufferings she has
drawn upon herself they are not bound
to disturb themselves further. Their
complete agreement is the surest guar
antee of the final victory of order, right
and fairness and the best ledge for the
maintenance of the general peace of
Europe even in the event of partial dis
turbances created by Crete, which the
Powers will know how to localize and if
necessary to suppress.

COMMITTEE OF FIFTY.
Its Object in the Investigation of the
Drink Problem Explained.

BOSTON, April 4.-Many references
have been made in newspapers during
the last three years to a committee
OF fifty for the investigation of the
drink problem" but the public for the
most part has a very vague notion
about this mysterious body, and the
people most concerned with temper
ance reform are wondering What rela-
ton the new organization proposes to
hold to their work. The committee is
not a new agent in temperance agita-
ton, does not propose to take any di-
rect part in reform, being simply an
organization in the interest of re-
search. It's work is conducted by four
sub committees on different aspects of
the problem-physiologi legislative,
ethical and economical. Nothing of the
same nature has been attempted in this
country.
1T is not expected" said Charles
Dudley Warner that an organization
or any national power can suddenly
or radically change the habits of the
world. But wise and practical efforts
can mitigate almost any evil under the
sun, can produce a public opinion that
operates in the right direction The
first requisite in any social problem
is to throw light upon it, and this is
the humble Office of the committee of
fifty"

WILL INVESTIGATE JONES.
BOTH FOR HIS ASSAULT AND ON
ALLEGED EXTORTION.
The Nevada Federal Grand Jury Con
venes at Carson To-Day and Will
Look Into Things.

CARSON, April 4.-The Federal
Grand Jury which meets tomorrow is
pronounced one of the most important
meetings of that body ever held in this
State The case Of Charles Jones, the
incumbent Federal Prosecuting Attor-
ney, for alleged assault upon Sam Da-
Wis, editor of the Appeal" win proba
bly, be the first case presented. Jones
has been arrested and is at liberty on
bonds to appear tomorrow.
1t has been intimated that Jones will
also be investigated for an alleged ex-
tortion of money from Dan A. Stuart,
the fight promoter. The statement was
published that he threatened Stuart
with Federal interference if he did not
cash a check in payment for certain le-
gal services rendered during the incip-
lent prize fight arrangements. The case
is a very simple one to handle. The
check passed by Stuart to Jones is in
the Bullion Bank, and an examination
of it will show who cashed it.
1t is argued that if Jones had legal
right to stop the fight he was derelict
in his duty not to have done so, and if
he had no legal right to interfere his
receipt of money under threats to in
yoke a law which did not exist was
wrong.
The case of Trenmore Coffin
the attorney in the mint case, charged
with having corrupted witnesses in the
above case, will probably be talked over
in the jury room. Coffin was indicted
some months ago, but when the case
came to an issue the Indictment was
quashed on a technicality and thrown
out of court. 1t was this that aggra-
waited the Jones assault, Davis having
accused the attorney through his paper
of being under the influence of the
mint ring.

TROUBLE LOOKED FOR.
Charges of BIackmaiIing and Corrup-
ton in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, April At is believed
tonight that there will be trouble at
the municipal election here tomorrow.
Charges have been made that certain
firms have been blackmailed for funds
by agents of bosses" and an investi-
CATION by the State Food Commissioner
and others will follow the election
1t is also charged that corruption has
been discovered in the proposed con-
struction of new water works, to cost
SO. 900 600. One man has been arrested
for falsely registering twenty-six
names, and the registration list indi-
Gates that there will be many arrests
for fraud While this election is purely
local, it will have such a bearing on
the election of members of the Legis-
lature next November that the friends
of Mark Hanna and John r. Mclean,
the candidates for United States Sen
ator, are taking a very active part.
Senator Foraker is home assisting the
Republican managers.

asse is now 300 feet wide, and widening
with each hour. The Hubbard break
is four miles south of the Williamson
crevasse and five miles north of the
Westover crevasse 1t simply adds to
the volume of water which is dew
astating all the Town Island and Old
Town Ridge country
TUNICA (Miss.), April AT 8
o'clock this morning the Flower Lake
levee, where it crosses Yellow Bayou,
gave way under the tremendous pres
sure of water. The crevasses widened
| rapidly and is now 100 yards wide
throughout The water is rushing with
a deafening sound that can only be
compared to that of Niagara Falls. The
levee was twenty feet high at the point
where it broke to-day. The people, not
only on the farms near the break, but
upon those some distance from the
levee back of it, have lost large num-
bers of cattle.
So rapidly did the crevaSSe widen
that the water rushing through it was
sufficient to reach the lake parallel to
| the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Rail-
road at Bushby Station, which is five
miles east of the break, in a remarkably
short space of time and within an hour
had raised the lake eight feet. The
water will no doubt be running over the
railroad al Bushby and Gainesville be-
fore morning. The country affected by
| the break is one of the finest in the
| delta. 1t will cause the submergence
of the entire southwestern and SOUTH
central part of Tunica County.
| The flood will pass into CoahOma
| County, overlooking Lulu and the re-
gion around Moon Lake broadening as
| it goes. A portion of the current will
| travel to Coldwater River through the
Yazoo Pass while much of it will
| travel southwark. inundating some of
the fairest fields in Coahoma County.
Thence it will travel down Cassidy
Bayou and Sunfiower River, finally
reaching YaZoo, traversing almost the
entire length of the YaZoo and MisSis-
sippi levee district. The river at noon
began to fall at Austin, four miles
above, and had fallen four inches at D
p. m. During the same time the river
| fell One-half an inch at the Harris
! farm, eight miles north of the break.
| Above Austin, the levee is from two
! to three feet above the flood plane, but
there are no weak places which threat
en- immediate danger.
