DRAINED BY Low TIDES.
Cuff Coast Fishing Grounds In
hnbited by u Rabbit Army.

NEW ORLEANS. March 19.-The
sportsmen and fishermen on the Gulf
Coast of Mississippi and Louisiana re-
port the lowest tide by three or four feet
known In fifty-three years. II not In the
century. 1t was particularly low at the
Rigolets, English Lookout. Lake Cathe-
rine, and Chef Menteau. where the marsh
&c are as dry as chip and many of the
smaller bayOus and streams are dry ditch
eS.
The phenomenon is due to unusually
low tides accompanied by strong winds
from the north and northeast. which have
blown the water out to sea. The effect
is to destroy many of the best fishing
grounds around New Orleans and to cut
down the supply Of fish, an important
matter in Lent.
The usual fishing grounds are covered
by an army of rabbits and fishermen have
dropped fishing for hunting. The prairie
vas set on fire by some hunters to drive
ont the rabbits with the result that thou
sands OF acres of dried marsh grass are
now on fire. Ii will take several weeks
Of south wind to fill the marshes with
water again.

KANSAS MAKES COMPLAINT
The Draining of the Arkansas River
in Colorado Harmful.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 19-Colorado Is
appropriating all the water in the Arkan-
sas River and Attorney General Wood
ard, of Kansas, today began suit in the
Federal Court to restrain the citizens of
Colorado from appropriating the waters
of the Arkansas River for irrigation pur-
poses.
For several years the farmers along the
Arkansas River in this State have been
agitating the necessity of taking some
action against Colorado. The great irri-
CATION companies operating in that State
in the neighbOrhOod Of Rocky Ford use
practically the entire flow of the Arkan-
sas River during the summer months,
when the water is most needed by the
agricultural and cattle interests of this
State.
Concerted action was not reached until
recently, when meeting was held at Ar
kansas City and it was then decided to
ask the State to bear the expenses of a
suit against Colorado to prevent the de-
pletion of the water supply of the river
1t was urged that unless some action OF
this kind was taken the agricultural and
cattle interests of the State would be per-
manently injured as the low stage of
water in the river during the summer
months made IL difficult TO raise crops
even in the bottoms and prevented cat
tlemen from getting water for their stock.
The Arkansas River flows through the
great Kansas wheat belt. and its waters
supply great herds OF cattle.

that Marshalrs successors should stand

expect that Mr. Mckinley would at once,

the doctrine of the fathers. If, provi-
dentially, his course in this way should
be made clear, it is due to his inherent
respect for public virtue and equity, as
we estimate the same, to say that he
would not in future permit his policy or
conduct to be governed. swayed or in
any wise affected by the interests, de-

place in the public esteem of his own
day. nor of the verdict of posterity.

MANY ACTS OF INJUSTICE.
The BASIS of the American Claims
Against Morocco.

The claims of the United States against
the Government of Morocco, which Mr..
Gummere the Consul General at Tan
gier will presumably lay before the Sui
tan when he goes to Morocco City, are
many and diverse. The claimants are
nearly all American citizens of Moorish
nativity, engaged in farming and other
occupations in Morocco. They have been
treated badly in a great many instances
and the Sultan's Government has failed
to assist them in obtaining justice.
Some of the claimants are Moors who
have never become American citizens,
but who are employed by citizens of the
United States. While in such employ
ment they hold "seimsars' or certificates
of protection. signed by this Government,
and are regarded for the time being as
having the rights of American citizens.
This condition is recognized by the treaty
between Morocco and most of the civil
lied nations, including the United States.
Some of the claims are based on thefts
of cattle. sheep. and crops by bands of
Moorish nomads. One claim is for the
destruction of a mill and others are for
the amounts of promissory notes given
by subjects of the Sultan. The aggregate
of the claims is comparatively insignifi-
cant. 1t Is the principle of compelling
Morocco to give justice to American citi-
zens that the State Department seeks to
emphasize in sending Mr.. Gummere to
Morocco City with the armOred cruiser
New York at MazIgan. the nearest port,
to back up his demands

Circulation Statement.


ON the whole. the news regarding the
Chinese situation yesterday evening was
encouraging. that is, compared with what
il has been for several days past Inc
threatened clash between the British ana
Russians at Tientsin has been averted by
the withdrawal OF the former from inc
disputed railway siding. In this connec-
ton it is said that Chinese duplicity, IN
granting concessions covering the same
ground to each of the contestinG Powers
is responsible for the trouble.
Next, we have the declarative state
ment from Lord George Hamilton in the
House of Commons that the understand
ing between Great Britain and Germany
includes without qualification the terri
torial integrity of the Chinese Empire
Accepting this at it's face value. it would
seem to follow that Germany may be
counted on TO oppose the separate ambi-
lions and movement of Russia in Man
churia. Mongolia. and Korea. All TINS
makes for peace, and therefore Is ac-
ceptable But the end is not yet. MOST
of the allied Powers are taking we"
of tl,e subject of Chinese indemnity which
fl is impossible 10 regard as anything
short of indicating a purpose Of general
partition. Everybody familiar with the
subject of Chinese imperial resources Is
aware that the Empire could not pay or
borrow TO pay such damages as popular
report would lead us to expect that Ger
many and France, for example, Will de-
mand. The American Government is us
ing its good Offices at Peliin, and in di-
rect appeals to the several chancelleries.
TO secure an abatement of terms. But-we
are sorry to be compelled to admit it
the United States is no longer an impor-
tant factor in the solution Of the Chinese
question. Our Russian adventure of cut
and scuttle has eliminated this country
from the problem. The world will go on
revolving. Notwithstanding any excur-
sions which the Administration may take
into the realms Of garden seed and pos
tage stamp amateur diplomacy, and, in
the course Of time, the Chinese question
will be settled for good or i'll. In the
interim. America can only act the part
of a looker-on. hoping for the best, and
Justly expecting the worst.

A FILIPINO LEADER YIELDS.
General Diocne Captured in the
Province of Panny.


General Macarthur yesterday cabled
the War Department the announcement
of the capture CT General Diocne. said to
be one of the most active of the Filipino
leaders, and one who has given the Amer
leans a great amount of trouble in Panay
His capture was effected on March 49,
but not until after a desperate encounter
in which the Filipino officer was wounded
three times.
Gen. Robert p. Hughes is accredited
with the honor of having caught Diocne.
General Macarthur states in his despatch
that General Hughes believes that the
capture will end the war in Capiz, Prov
iuce of Panay. General Macarthur adds
that it is his opinion that hostilities will
now terminate in the entire island Of
Panay.
The news was received with much sat
isfaction at the War Department yester
day, following so soon upon the despatch
containing the announcement of the sur
render of Lieutenant General Trias. Of
the Filipino army. The officials believe
now that the war is ended and that the
elimination of Trias and Diocne as OPP
posing factors will greatly facilitate the
work of organizing the civil government.

They have made. he says. no written or
verbal contracts with anyone, but are

cIares that if they were either German or
Irish they would have no difficulty i'll

ditions. but that as there is still pre-
fudice against the Spaniards. discrimi-
nation is made against them.

crime that of refusing to work for an

were demanded. Mr. Gompers said he
did not oppose arbitration, but he de-
clared that the bill was arbitration ''of a
kind that you get at the point of sword
or revolver or a bailims warrant
He thought the momentous question of
arbitration would work itself out in the
course of time. so that 1t would be salts
factory to all concerned and stated that

Last night IT did not appear as certain
as formerly that there would be a gen
eral miners strike in the anthracite re-
gion on April /. The men are getting
fairly satisfactory wages. To drop these
and struggle with starvation for six
months perhaps on a question of trade
sentiment does not appear good policy to
many of the miners. Hence there is a
strong reaction among them in favor Of
allowing the question of union recogri-
ton to drop. 1t is 10 be hoped that II
may be dropped for the present There
does not seem to be the smallest chance
that the coal magnates could be persuaded
or forced to deal with the miners union
as responsible entity. That being true,
the threatened struggle would be merely
a waste of money and energy which might
better be conserved against more con-
venient season.
