\ EW ORLEANS, Aug. 16.-The big
IN storm has practically subsided
here. and both the river and the
lake are falling.
The water has rapidly receded from
the section of the city which was over
flowed yesterday
Large bodies Of men have gone to work
to repair the damage done at the lake
resorts, which bore the brunt of the
storm.
Little news has come thus far from
the Mississippi sound. The Louisville
& Nashville railroad is still badly Grip
pied. No trains have been moved since
night before last.
The subsistence of the water, however,
makes it probable that traffic will be re-
sumed by tonight.
A large number of business men are
still tied up on the coast and unable to
get to their offices.
The Cromwell line steamship Comus
arrived in the city today. j. N. Thomas
OF the quarantine station boarded the
Comus near the mouth of the river and
told Captain Franklyn that it was dan
gerous and that small boat had been
wrecked in that vicinity and six lives
lost.
At Shell Beach the wind has ceased.
but the water is rising and there has
been considerable damage to crops. Rice
has been damaged considerably down the

REFORM METHODS
New Docking Facilities for London
At Cost Of Ten Million
Dollars.
President Baker Of the Atlantic
Transport Line Would Save
q Fortune
(By Associated Press.)


n Jew YORK. Aug. 16.-In an inter-
IN view President Baker of the Allan
tic Transport Line announces that
plans have been completed for providing
new docking facilities in London at a cost
of $10,000,000. President Baker says in
part:
England is far behind America in its
facilities for handling freight, particu-
larly grain. At present the freight is un-
loaded into barges. then taken to a place
where it is weighed. there unloaded and
weighted on another barge for delivery.
The wharves are poorly arranged for
the storage of merchandise and the ware
houses are 40 or so feet from the edge or
the wharf. English capital is being
pressed by the American and Germans.
Owing to the old fashioned methods it
cost about shillings per ton to handle
the freight after it arrives in London,
while it costs only shilling per ton here.
The Atlantic transportation company
will carry to London $4,000 tons Of freight
every week, or about 2,500. 900 tons year.
and it will be readily seen that the saw
ing by the use of American methods
which we shall introduce will-be very
great.
II estimate that by the use of new
docks or basins by the company and the
Atlantic transportation lines on. the COM
munity plan, even If only l shilling per
ton is saved. we will secure an income Of
l2h to Is per cent on capital Of e.
10000. -

STEAMER COMBINE
Leyland, Atlantic Transport and
American Line Will be Under
One Head.
]. P. Morgan to be in Control, and
Great Saving Will be
Accomplished.
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Conservative
~ advices received here from Liver
~ pool contain the definite statement
that an alliance is contemplated between
the Leyland, the Atlantic Transport and
the American lines. The Leyland line. it
will be recalled, was recently purchased
by J. =. Morgan, at the head of SYM
dicate.
The fact that the Atlantic Transport
and the Leyland lines We're to be oper-
ated in harmony has been known for
some time. There have been at various
times reports that the American line was
part of Mr.. Morgan's interest, but thus
far the reports have been denied.
The community of interest plan will
thus be extended to the steamship inter-
est. The relations between the lines will
be of close character ana the new di-
rectors of the Leyland known to be
friendly will be chosen.
The consolidation of the three fleets
will not destroy their identity. but they
will be operated separately. At the Of
flee of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., no in
would be given on the propos-
ed alliance.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-News has
been received in this country in-
volving Venezuela, Nicaragua,
and Ecuador in the attempt of Gen.
Rafael Urebe. Colombian rebel leader,
to overthrow the government of Colom-
bia.
A year ago it was known to the CO.

General Urebe was receiving material
assistance from these republics, and
recent developments and information
received by Colombia secret agents
confirms the belief that these coun-
tries are preparing for Simultaneous
attack on Colombia.
1t has been said further that plan
for attack has practically been agreed
upon. Large numbers of Nicaraguan
soldiers have already joined the rebels
in the present campaign and it will be

This clause might, however, be con-

might be taken to mean that in case
the Russian sugar producers should be
able to meet the competition of the
world without the payment Of the tax
refund. the government would be
authorized to withdraw this favor. It's
intention was to prevent the possible
expectation of such quantities of SUI
