sgou1 CITY, April lS.-Dispatches
from Pierre, $. d., says the Missouri
river is nearly out of its banks and rap
idly rising. AT Chamberlain it has
overtiowed and many people have had
to move to the bench lands. Here the

the government work, which seems to
be of little avail against the swift cur
rent.

OF the Mazet legislative investigating
committee yesterday Richard Croker

left last evening for Albany, he had in
structions to prepare papers adjudging
Mr.. Croker and John r. Carroll in con-
tempt.

quiry yesterday about the first thing
brought up was resort known as the
Broadway garden, which had fourished
in the upper Broadway district for some
time. In this place the alleged robbery
Of the former mayor Of Trenton, Frank
Mcgowan, took place. Simon Buttner,
the former proprietor of the garden,
made some startling charges against

rated in part his testimony. Assembly,
man Hoffman offered resolution to
have certain prominent men summoned
before the committee, because of a
rumor that q certain law firm ssby and
with the assistance of other persons, by

Swezey was twenty-six years old and a

1T has been a mystery ever since the
famous scandal came out what influence
was being brought 10 bear, and from whom,
to delay so long the execution of the sem
tence of the court-martial II has not
been known locally, at least. 1t is now
rumored that Captain Carter is engaged to
a daughter of a Pennsylvania Railway Of
fetal and that this has been source OF
strong political influence for Clemency in
Capt. Carters case. The fact is disclosed
that prominent politicians. including
United States Senators from Pennsylvania,
Delaware, and New Jersey. have been in
terested in the case of Captain Carter and
have urged Executive clemency.
This is the secret of the mystery, and
the source OF strong influence on William
Mckinley. President of the United States;
John W Griggs, Attorney General, and
Russell \. Alger. Secretary Of War. To
this source may possibly be traced the rea
son for the review OF the papers in the
case by former United States Senator Ed
munds. There was, OF course, no money
in the United States Treasury to pay for
the review of the case by that attorney
and it is stated that it was furnished by
the Atlantic Contracting Company and that
the costs of review were So 000.

an Oriental Empire.
More Popular Than Amy Queen of
the Realm Now Governed by
Her Royal Husband.

New York. Feb. 23.-The "Herald's' Eu-
ropean edition publishes the following from
its correspondent in Calcutta:
Within the few weeks that Lady Curzon
has been in Calcutta her affability and
open heartedness have secured the esteem
and love of all classes of the Queen EN-
press subjects, and to an extent never at
tanned by the consort of any previous Vice
roy.
Quite a number of state functions have
been crowded into the short time that their
excellencies have occupied Government
House. notably Lord Curzon's first leyee,
Lady Curzons first drawing room, the
state ball. a visit in state TO the races, a
fancy dress ball in aid OF the Women S
Friendly Society, and innumerable gather
ings. at all Of which Lady CurZon display
cd indispensable dignity and affability.
The fancy dress ball came off on January
-. The Town Hall and the approaches
10 the entrance of the hall were brilliant
ly illuminated. Some 200 guests were
present. which is by far the largest as
semblage of any similar character The
vestibule was decorated with the Royal
Standard. hanked by the Union Jack and
the Stars and Stripes.
About 1890 O'Clock Lady Curzon and
the Government House party put in an
appearance. Her EXcellency was received
by the ladies' committee and, Immediately
after being presented with a handsome
bouquet. was conducted to the ballroom.
Lady CurZon's personal appearance was
much enhanced by the beauty of her toilet
pale blue empire dress, with a magnii-
cent diamond tiara.
After an hours stay her Excellency and
party left.
On Saturday Lord and Lady Curzon at
tended the races. after which they left by
special train for Barackpore, a pleasant
military station on the river side, fifteen
miles from Calcutta. where there is an ex =
ceodingiy convenient viceregal lodge, re-
plete with every comfort.
Lord and Lady CUrzon will give an en-
tertainment on Government House grounds
on Wednesday evening next. and all who

invited 10 bring their little ones with them.
ON Tuesday a very large gathering OF
the elite of Calcutta assembled TO witness
the first tie in the Bengal polo tourna-
ment. Lord and Lady Curzon were early
on the ground.
There are two excellent golf clubs and
also ladies' club. but all is quiet at this
moment in that direction. In fact there
are so many other engagements on foot of
which Lady Curzon is the centre that il is
difficult 10 say what the day may bring
forth.
The latest is a suggestion by a native
journalist that her EXcellency may give a
party and invite Hindoo ladies only This
Will certainly be quite a new departure il
