NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 22.-The Illinois,

district court, seeking to compel the
Orleans Levee Board TO grant their pc
tition TO go forward With the vast har-
Dor improvements planned by the roads.
The grant already has been approved
by the City Council but the concurrence
of the Levec Board is essential. The
suit is the result OF an ambiguity in the
new State Constitution. 1t is thought

litigation in thirty days.

CALLED TO POWER.
Roosevelt Tragically Elevated to
Chief Aagistracy of the Nation.
Took tho Oath OF once in Buffalo Thir-
teen Hours After the Death Of VIII
liam McKinley-N0 Extra Ses-
sion Of Congress,

Buffalo. N. Y, Sept. 16.-Theodore
Roosevelt, who Saturday was tragi-
cally elevated to the chief magistracy
of the American republic by the
death of President Mckinley, entered
this city of mourning after remarkable
and perilous journey from the heart
of the North woods. He had been
president under the constitution and
law of the land since the minute
the martyred president ceased to live.
All the duties and powers of the
Office had devolved upon him, but
he was as powerless as the hum
blest citizen to exercise one of them
until he had complied with the consti-
tutional provision requiring him to
take prescribed oath to support and
defend the constitution and laws of
the United States. He took that
oath at $3.50 Saturday afternoon. in

responsive echoes Of distant sienala
were heard and answered, and grab
ually the scouts and the Roosevelt
party came within hearing distance
of each other. When Col. Roosevelt
was reached and informed OF the
critical condition of the president, hs
could scarcely believe the burden o.
the messages delivered to him.
Startled at the serious nature OF the
news, the vice president at 5:43
o'clock at once started back for the
Tahawus club. In the meantime, the
Adirondacks stage line placed at his
disposal relays of horses covering the
IS miles to North Creek. A delugina
thunderstorm had rendered the roads
unusually heavy. Without any delay
he moved as rapidly as possible in the
direction of North Creek. the north,
ern terminus of the Adirondacks rail-
road, where his secretary, William
Leob, Jr., and Superintendent C.. "a
Hammond, of the Delaware & Hudson
railroad, with a special train. were
awaiting his arrival. Soon after Col
Roosevelt started, night came on and
made the trip very difficult and dan
gerous, as mile after mile was trav
eled in almost impenetrable darkness
but the expert guides piloted the vice
president safely to his objective point

the library or the residence OF Ans
ley Wilcox, a personal friend, with
whom he stopped earlier in the week,
when the physicians thought Presi-
dent Mckinley would recover from
the. wound inflicted by the assassin.
The scene was most affecting one.
The new president had just come
from the Milburn house, where his
predecessor lay cold in death. Over
come by the deep personal sorrow he
felt, in his Characteristic impulsive
way, he had gone first to the house
of mourning to offer his coincidence
and sympathy to the broken-hearted
widow. Secretary Root, who 90 years
ago had been present at similar
scene when Arthur took the oath
after the death of another president
who fell victim to an assassin's bull
let, almost broke down when he re-
quested Mr.. Roosevelt, on behalf of
the members of the cabinet of the
late president, to take the prescribed
oath. There was not a dry eye in
the room.
The new president was visibly
shaken, but he controlled himself.
and when he lifted his hand to swear
tit was as steady as though carved
in marble. With the deep solemnity
of the occasion full upon him he an
nounced that his aim would be to be
William McKinley's successor in deed
as well as name.
The great and far-reaching signifi-
canoe of his pledge to continue the
policy of the dead president, an
nounced at the very threshold of a
new governmental regime, profoundly
impressed his hearers, and President
Roosevelt's first step after taking the
oath was in line with it's redemption.
His first act was to ask the members
to retain their portfolios in order to
aid him to conduct the government
on lines laid down by him whose pol
icy he had declared he would uphold.
Rough Nights Ride
Albany, N Y, Sept. 15.-Whep Theo-
dore Roosevelt and his guides left
Tahawus club early Friday morning
on hunting expedition, the vice
president fully believed that Presi-
dent Mckinley was entirely out Of
danger and on the rapid road to re-
covery. The hunting party moved in
the direction of Mount Marcy, the
highest peak in the Adirondacks re-
gion. They had not been gone over
three hours when mounted courier
rode rapidly into Tahawus club with
messages to the vice president, stat
ing that President Mckinley was in q
critical condition. The messages had
been photographed to North Greek
and from there telephoned to . point

win Involve Mighty Changes.
Washington, Sept. 15.-The death Of
President Mckinley and the. success
sion of Theodore Roosevelt will in
volve mighty changes in the political
situation. Ever one Of Mr.. NcKin-
ley's chief appointees at home and
abroad will resign. This will include
not only his cabinet and minor heads
of departments in the United States,
but the ambassadors, ministers, con-
sui generals and all other prominent
officials who have been assigned to
duty abroad. The vast patronage
that will stand at the disposal of the
new president and the stupendous
amount of power that it will involve
is apparent. Wisely distributed, this
power could make him the next pres
idential nominee beyond peradventure
of a doubt.

Greenup., KY, Oct. 13.--A case that
probably without a parallel in the coun-
try took place just on the lines of Car
ter and Greenup counties. In two
little hamlets have lived for years the
quartette who make up the persons in
this drama. They are John Lilies and
Edith Lilies, and George Danner and
Lizzie Banner. For thirty years these
couples lived as man and wife, and APP
parently happy. But somehow, Cupid,
in fit of mischievousness, proceeded to
work confusion. 1t soon became ap-
parent that Danner had lost his heart
to Mrs. Lilies, while Lilies and Mrs Dan
ner had also changed affections. As
soon as it became apparent TO all they
took business view of the case. Mu-
tual divorces and remarriages were pro-
proposed and carried out. In effect the
two men traded wives. This took
place several years ago. A few years
ago old affections were revived and Gu
pid reversed the SPELL The men want
ed TO trade back and the women were
willing. And again there were divorc
