half hours before his absence was dis
covered. Officers are in pursuit, and
he is sur: to be recaptWed If found
across the line he will be extradited.

Memphis, April 20. Another break
IN the leveeson the Louisiana side is.
reported from a point twenty miles
below Natchez, Miss. Tie details at
this writing are meager and the extent
OF the break cannot be learned. The
situation at Biggs, where the water
is rushing through the crevasse in tor
rents, is growing worse Madison par
ish is fast becoming inundated and
the water will extend to other parishes,
destroying thousands of acres Of new
" planted crops. Vicksburg, Natchez
and other river points are crowded
with refugees and everything possible
is being done to alleviate the suffering
Of the poorer. classes. Calls for aid
have been sent out from sections Of
the overlooked Mississippi delta, and,
While the waters are slowly receding,
the suffering and restitution increases.
The situation throughout the delta is
about the same. 1t was beautiful
day in the flood stricken section, and
the planters hope that the waters will
be carried away in time to make a
good crop. At Memphis the river is
slowly falling and at Cairo decided
fall is reported. The Memphis relief
committee has issued the following:
''The executive committee Of the food
sufferers relief committee of Memphis,
after returning =. thanks to a generous
public at home and abroad for liberal
contributions, beg to state that owing
to the action of the general govern
ment the calls on the Memphis relief
committee have been so reduced that
in the judgment Of the executive COM
mittee, the funds Low in hand will, in
all probability, be sufficient for de-
mands, and the contributions to the
Memphis committee should cease. If
any future emergency should arise the
public will be adyised.'' ~.

PRICES Co WILD.
Wheat Markets Affected by the
So Eaate rn War.a ~ 8asEal.s.s. -


4 New York, April 20. The announce
ment that war had been declared be-
i tween Turkey and Greece set the
wheat market wild On the heels Of
saturdays 4-cent rise in prices came
another jump of cents, May opening
all the way from SO 1-4c5 to gS3 Lie, SO
intense was the excitement prevailing
at the outset. For an hour the market
was in a furore, with values fiuctuating
so wildly that it was next to impossi-
bic to follow their course. May reached
SO 7-Sc ON one of its wild spurts, which
proved to be the high water mark for
the day. Suddenly foreign houses, lo-
cal traders, outsiders and everybody
who had clamored to buy wheat at the
opening turned sellers. Large profits
were represented on most of the wheat
thrown over ana at midday the unload
ing process was in full swing with
prices going down hill as fast as they
had assembled. May tumbled to 80 7-Sc
before the selling movement could be
checked. From this point there was
later rise to So 3-Sc, followed by Set
back to 81 1-4c and subsequent rally.
the close being extremely nervous. At
the best point May was 12 Bic above
the bottom and S1-Sc higher than the
closing of Thursday.
Chicago, April 2O.-After very ex-
citing opening at an exceptionally
great advance in the price wheat sim
mered down to about"its usual nervous
ness. The final outcome was that May
closed at 75c and July at ~ 7-Sa75, as
compared with 73 3-4c and 731-2c re-
spectiyely Saturday afternoon. The
other markets had a somewhat sim
liar experience, except in the case Of
provisions no advance was estab-
lished for the day. The outbreak Of
hostilities between Greece and Turkey
overshadowed all else in its influence
on the markets. May wheat, which OH
Saturday closed at 70 3-4c, started in
one mighty bound from 31-4c to 1-4c
higher. There was a difference of 1c
per bushel in price between the first
transactions made simultaneously in
different parts of the pit. Both May
and July were bought at from tic to
II 1-2c, with few sales as high as 7Sc.
So utter was the confusion and haste
to do business during the first few ex-
citing moments that men standing
alongside each other in the pit We're

A SEA OF WATER.

Many of the Finest Farms Around
;s5 st. Vincent Are Under Water.
St. Vincent, Mimi, April 2O-The rise.
in the past twentyfour hours has
been five inches. This morning the
river became stationary and later fell
two inches. AS far as can be seen
across North Dakota is a sea of water.
Farmers on low lands who built their
houses, granaries and stables on the
highest knobs have now deep water
all around them, and it is impossible to
team out their grain, and a further rise
will ruin it all. Many Of the finest
farms are several feet under water.
Stock is driven to high spots upon
which the water is still rising. Fur
niture, supposed to be slowed safely
away is now under water. Families
have moved up stairs and those living
in cottages have moved out Farmers
with stock and grain are in pitiable
state.

While Mr.. Ingalls, is in the main cor
rect in his statement to the effect that
pugilism Is not a learned profession, 1t
comes, nevertheless. very close to it..
AS conducted nowadays pugilism re-
4uires a knowledge Of anatomy, ora
tory, pneumatics, journalism, calls
themes, bag-punching, head-punching,
Chesterfeldian etiquette, letter-writ-
ing, Authorization, and mastication,
and various other accomplishments
more or less important. Modern sci
ence demands great deal of versatility
on the part of the pug, and, If Yale
confers a degree on Mr.. Corbett, pugil-
ism may yet claim a place among the

toltuatlOn IN the East, Copyright, 1897,
by the Associated Press.
London, April 2O.-The situation on
the frontier has not, according to the
latest advices, been materially modi-
fed. AS detils come in it becomes
more and more apparent that the fight
ing in MilOuna Pass was Of the most
stubborn and savage character. The
Turks fought like devils and the
Greeks resisted in the spirit of their
ancestors. The most ineXplicable fact
IN connection with the whole engage
ment is the comparatively small num-
Der Of killed. All the special cor
respondents agree to this. The Turks
appear to have fired as wildly with
their rifles at Milouna Pass as they did
at Arta, where the fighting consisted Of
an artillery duel between the rival bat
teries on each side Of the river, last
ing about four hours in the afternoon.
There they fired only one out of five
shots with any effect and their bat
teries were soon silenced by the Greeks,
whose marksma nship was very much
superior. The Turkish losses at Aria
are believedto have been very heavy.
On the Greek side there was not man
killed. Gen. Smolenitz, ex-minister Of
war, is in command of 1900 Greeks at
Revena, not far from Tyrnavos. At
this point Edhem Pasha, closely
pressed, was nearly taken prisoner.
His plan was to force the Pass Of Re-
vena, to enter the Plain of Larissa, to
cut off the retreat Of the Greek army
with his cavalry and thus take Larissa
without resistance. But this plan was
defeated. Gen. Demopoulos, at the
head of one Greek division, forced the
Turkish line close to Tyrnavos and
Gen. Mavormochale broke through at
Koniskos. The two generals united
their troops near Damasi. The news
Of this success at Revena and of the
imminent fall of Prevesa has changed
the dismay caused at Athens by the
loss of NIilouna into the widest re-
joicing. The latest advices are that
the Greek troops are advancing to re-
occupy their positions at Milouna and
at Gritzovali, the latter of which, it is
alleged, was abandoned owing to a
misunderstanding by the general in
command who interpreted as an order
of retreat what was really intended as
an order of advance. The Greeks re-
port that the Turks lost 1000 killed and
wounded at Revena, but this estimate
is probably excessive.

In a United States court at Phila-
delphia, recently, several applicants for
naturalization as American citizens
were before the bar. Judge Butler
questioned each one of them to see
what evidence there might be Of his be-
ing attached to the principles of the
Constitution of the United States, and
well-disposed to the good order and
happiness of the same" To one appli-
cant he said, What privilege will you
get by becoming citizen of the United
States?" IT would get license, sir"
answered the man. In Philadelphia, 1t
seems, no one can obtain license to
sell Intoxicating liquor unless he is q
citizen of the United States, and this
man had truly betrayed the fact that
the secret of his attachment to the
principles of the Constitution" was his
desire to poison the people with alco-
holic liquors.! One purpose OF our laws
relating to naturalization should be to
exclude from the privilege men whose
motives are of this type. They are al
together too common among the appli-
cants for citizenship.
