New Orleans, April 8--A committee
waited upon Capt. Derby, United states
engineer in command of this district, to
day, to ask assistance in closing breaks
in the levee on the coastof the Mississippi
1t was stated that unless this was done
the river would certainly destroy the
Louisiana oyster fisheries, worth millions
of dollars Capt Derby refused 70 give
anything, declaring that the. $3.50, 900 gel
aside by Congress for work on the river
could not be used for closing crevasses
1t was intended for fighting the flood, but
the moment break in the levee occurred
the work of the United states ceased, and
il could do nothing more.
The grand jury OF Piacquimine parish
has decided to investigate the reckless
manner in which vessels are running in
the Mississippi, endangering the leyeeS
and the lives OF people protected by them,
and if it can do so will indict the pilots
and captains Of the vessels going at too
rapid a rate or too near the shore.

TO RESTORE FREE LUNCHES.
Frcquenters of New York Saloons
TO Be Nude Happy Again.

Albany, n Y, April S-The saloon free
lunch abolished by the Raines liquor law
last year VIII be restored. This has been
brought about by great pressure upon the
legislative committees having the excise
amendments to the law in charge, Mr..
RaineS, the author of tie bill, has approx
ed the change. The law at present pro
ihits liquor dealers throughout the State
from giving any lunch free to patrons.
The law has been Obeyed generally, but
saloon keepers were overwh elmed with
protests from patrons. Pressure to re-
store the free lunch was then brought to
bear upon the lawmakers, ard it has been
so strong that the saloons were unable 10
resist it.
The restoration of the free lunch was
inspired also by the demand of the pro
duceis of cheese, crackers and bologna, that
they be given an opportunity TO dispose of
their product.
Since the Raines law went into effect
the rural cheese producers have lost the
substantial revenue they used to derive
from the sale of their product TO the New
York saloonkeepers.

FAVOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
New York Has the Option of Buy
ing Two Car Lines.

New York, April 9.-The committee on
franchise OF the City Club wrote "a letter
to Mayor Strong today advising him to
have a bill prepared for the legislature
permitting the city to issue bonds Tor the
purchase of the Sixth and Eighth avenue
street car lines. The letter said that the
present was a peculiarly opportune time
TO apply the principles embodiedtn tue new
Greater New York charter in relation TO
the ownership of franchises, and that the
situation with regard to the Sixth ana
Eighth avenue roads presented ';lnex-
pectediy and auspiciously" an opportunity
for the mayor to naugurate the sound
policy of preserving these valuable rights
which it's growth has created and its tX-
istenee made possible.
Under the charter of the roads the city
is entitled to buy the roads at II fair
valuation.
i number of men who represented tie
Knights Of Labor and other labor organiZa-
ttons, talked to Mayor Strong today about
the proposition to have the city buy the
roads.
Several prominent citizens and lawyers
also urged the mayor to favor the purchase
of the tines. He said he would consider
all that had been said to him.

alists, who wouIdI like TO see free trade
within the British empire and a tax placed
on all American produce entering Great Bri-

ment in the Globe today from its Ottawa
correspondent, to the effect that: AL
though the government guards its tariff
proposals with the Utmost WatChfulness, it
becomes more and more evident that the
pressure of public opinion In favor of pro-
British trade policy Will prove irresistible
and that when the tariff comes down, it
will be found to make much greater re-
ductiUns in the classes OF goods mainly
imported from Great Britain, than on those
mainly imported from. the United States.
The majority of the members favor closer
relations with our greatest export market
and ultimately TO something very near alb
