London, April 14.--Truth says: TT is
doubtful If Lord Salisbury's health will
permit him to retain the posts of pre-
mier and secretary of state for foreign
affairs. Under these circumstances
many Unionists are suggesting Lord
Rosebery for secretary of state for
foreign affairs. 1t Is pointed out that
when in office Lord Rosebery showed
entire accord with Lord Salisbury's for
eign policy. and he withdrew from the
Liberals because he disapproved of
their action in foreign issues, while
his views on home rule are in accord
with the Unionsts."

CHANGING ITS CHANNEL.
The Missouri River Threatens De-
struction to Valuable Property.
TIE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD VICTIMS.

Six Thousand People Now Wholly De-
pen lent Upon the Government Re-
lief, Which Is Being Expeditiously
Distributed by Army Officers.
Omaha, April 1.-THE Missouri river
is changing its channel past Omaha,
and in doing so threatens to destroy
property to the value Of several million
dollars. Monday night the river broke
through its hanks about mile above
where 1t left the old channel 20 years
ago, and is today running two broad
streams across which were two days
ago fertile market gardens. These
streams run into Florence lake, relic
of a former cutoff. From Florence
lake the water is pouring into Cutoff
lake, and 1t now seems only ques-
tion of few hours until East Omaha
is moved into Iowa and all the prop
erty in line of the flood Is swept away.
The government gauge records rise
in the Missouri river of but nine-tenths
of a foot in "a hours. Five miles up the
river from the location of the gauge Is
where the Missouri has broken its
banks in two places. This discharge of
the flood accounts for the meager show
ing of rise on the government gauge.
The first break in the banks occurred
a little more than mile above the
original channel. that left Florence
lake in the old cutoff, and the water
sweeping down a stretch of land that
has been transformed from most fer
tile gardens into stream of 1000 feet
wide and five feet deep The market
gardens of North Omaha will be swept
away, IL no further damage results.
The people of that section of the town
nearly moved out Monday night, and
were busy getting away their effects
in boats yesterday.
Cutoff lake is filling up rapidly, and
may soon overflow, sweeping down
through the upper railroad yards and
extensive plants in the north bottoms.
Reports from up the river are en-
couraging, and 1t is likely the extern
sive damage now threatened will be
averted. Should the river complete the
cutoff 1t has threatened East Omaha,
with extensive factory plants. includ-
ing the great Carter White Lead works,
will be moved into Iowa, and the 49,
900 bridge of the East Omaha ter
minal company will be left across a
slough, while the thousands of dollars
expended by the government in pro-
tecting the banks of the river along
the great bend will have been wasted
on a cutoff lake

BIG INSURANCE SWlNDLE.
Thievfng Pittsburg Banker Tainted
when Placed Under Arrest.


Pittsburg, April 14.-A colossal at
tempt at insurance swindling was un-
earthed yesterday, when C. Linwood
Woods, of c. l.. Woods & Co., bankers,
was arrested in his office in the Park
building. The information was made
by c. Il. Harper chief of the revision
department of Mutual Reserve Fund
Life association, of New York, charg-
ing Woods with procuring policies with
intent to defraud. When Woods was
confronted by the arresting officer he
fell in dead faint. On recovering he
acknowledged that he was "treed" and
was committed to Jail In $4,000 bail.
Later he made written confession, in
which he gives the details of his
scheme. He says that with a former
agent of the Mutual Reserve he entered
into conspiracy to defraud.
His mode of procedure was to insert
advertisements in the local papers for
old men to act as collectors. He would
ask the applicants for bond, but kindly
waived the bond If the applicant would
sign an application for insurance on
his life. This was generally secured,
and then Woods would get some ire
sponsible man to sign a promissory note
to the Woods G. Co. banking firm, filled
out with amounts ranging from $4,000
to $4,000, so that consideration for the
insurance policy at death could be
claimed to be the debt established by
the note. 1t Is not known as vet how
the applicants passed the medical ex-
animation.
In Woods desk were found 65 policies,
with himself as beneficiary, aggregat-
ing 100000. Some of the policies were
issued by the Provident Savings COM
pany of New York the Fidelity of Phil
adelphia and the Mutual Reserve Fund
of New York In the latter there were
policies amounting to $150,O0O, the other
$4,000 being in the first two named
