New Orleans, May 15.-Attorney Nc
Closkey, of the New Orleans Levee
Board, submitted a legal opinion on
the proposition of the Texas and Pa
cifc and the Illinois Central railroads
to build a stretch of levee twenty feet
high from Louisiana avenue to the up
per part of the city, and from there
to Metric ridge which would forever
insure the city from overflow. The
work would cost about 100000 and in
return the railroads ask the privilege
of constructing a double track on this
levee to be used as belt line.
The proposition was received with
universal favor and the matter was
referred to committee Of the board
and that committee asked it's attorney
for a legal opinion. McCloskey's re-
port throws cold water on the propo-
sition. 1t was lengthy as we'll as ex-
haustive and the main point was that
in accepting the proposition the board
would be sacrificing it's police powers,
its mainstay in carrying out the pro-
NiSlohS VI tic act CIedllHS Ine DOdIQ.
1T is not within the power of the
'levee board to barter away its police
power. The building of levees is an
exercise of police power, and it is too
elementary for discussion that the Boz
lice power cannot be bartered away
and contracting for rights, as sought
by the railroad company, in consider
alton of the expenditure by them Of
certain sums for levee purposes would
be bartering away of the police pow
erof the state and this cannot be done.
AS already stated the levees are the
banks of the Mississippi river. They
are inalienable; no fixed rights can be
granted therein and no element of
ownership can be granted therein.
The banks are dedicated to public pur-
poses and as yet could not concede an
exclusive grant upon the banks of the
Mississippi river for a fixed time. You
certainly cannotgrant said rights for
ever to-wit; In perpetuity.
The report was received with dis
appointment by the railroad represen-
tatives and by the community gener-
ally.

Austin, Texas, May 15.-The House
had no session today having adjourn
ed on Friday evening until Monday
morning at $50 o'clock out of respect
to ex-senator Coke and in order that
some of the members might attend his
funeral.
The Senators met as usual however
and had a brief session transacting
some important business.
Among the most important measures
passed was the bill allowing the La
Porte and Galveston and Northwestern
railroad to consolidate.
The Senate retrenchers also got in
the saddle and proceeded to ride the
horse strong and to such good
effect that all the employees of the SEN
ate were fired and the president was
instructed to appoint a force of neces-
sary employees only so as to save the
state a needless expense.
The House joint resolution providing
for the support of old soldiers at home
instead of forcing them to come to
this city to the home here raised con-
siderable discussion, Senators Colquitt
and Cough both opening the debate in
opposition to the resolution saying that
they would not favor the creation Of
a pension system in Texas such as was
contemplated in this resolution.
Senator Presley spoke warmly in
favor of the resolution on the line of
patriotic duN.
Senator Tillett also spoke in opposi-
ton to the resolution .basing his oppo-
sition on the grounds that he did not
want the state to go into the pension
business.
After some further discussion and
the consideration of numerous amend
ments the resolution was passed to a
third reading.
AS predicted would be done the
Senate this morning passed over the
governors veto the bill leasing the
Supreme court stereotyped plates to
H. P. N. CANNED The members
were not all pleased at the governors
action in the matter and the Senate
took the first opportunity to even mat
tiers up and sit on the governor. 1t
now remains to be seen what the Hous
is going to do about the matter.
Some of the members of the House
are of the opinion that they will be
able to adjourn sine die about next
Thursday.
Quite a number of the anti-fee billers
say that they are going to quit their
side and take a bill that will assist in
an immediate adjournment.
The text book men in the House say
that as soon as they pass the text
book bill they will take the general ap-
preparation bill as originally reported
70 their bosom with all the ardor that
they would a long lost brother. With
the general appropriation bill out of
the way an early adjournment is an
assured thing and that is what many

test against the appointment based on
the charges on file, which are support
ed by the affidavitsof other persons,
but he did not sign the charges them
selves y not having personal knowl-

Notwithstanding the rumor that all

The strikers in Camp Isolation, Plum
Creek, made a large gain from the ranks
of De Armit's miners during the early
morning. The thirty men who came from
Export, Pa. were interviewed while on
their way TO the pit, and the result was
that they agreed TO quit work in the
Plum Creek mine. They refused to go
into the mine and most of them have
returned 10 their homes.
