DIPLOMATS WE'RE PLEASED.
Appreciation of Courtesies at the
worlds Fair Dedication at St.
Louis Expressed.

Washington, June 13.-The diplo-
matte corps have shown. in very
substantial manner, the appreciation
of courtesies they received during
their recent visit to St. Louis. Friday
Allen V. Cockrell, Washington repre-
sentative of the Worlds fair, received
a letter signed by all the diplomats
who attended the dedication, stating
their great enjoyment of the celebra~
tion, and assuring him that every de-
tail was managed perfectly and was
thoroughly enjoyable.
The letter compliments Mr.. Cock
rell upon his success as their escort
and this written statement is accom-
panied by magnificent gold cigar
ette case and match box. The former
Is massive, and, in addition to Mr.
Coclrells' monogram in relief the
case is engraved with facsimiles of
the signatures of the diplomats pre-
senting the gift.
The manner in which the testimo-
nial is given should set at rest the
falsehoods circulated in some eastern
papers that the diplomatic corps did
not enjoy their visit TO the dedicar
ton

Suicides In Chicago, After Con-
Tossing an EmbexxIement.

Chicago, June l3.--Iiaying confessed
to an embezzlement that probably
will amount to $4,000, Ernest Naoraji,
native of ceylon, shot and killed
himself in the safety deposit vaults
of the Prairie State bank. where he
had taken his employer to reimburse
him as best he could with the small
savings he had there.
Naoraji was cashier for Edward
Reub, a commission merchant. lie
was % years old, and came to Chiea-
go from Ceylon six years ago.
The cashier frequently received re-
mittances from Europe, in addition TO
liberal salary, and had told fellow
employees that he was the scion OF a
royal family in India. He was well
educated, and declared himself a
graduate of English and East Indian
universities. He was confirmed
gambler.

vent the Conviction OF Jeft aud
White mt jackson, ky.

Jackson, Ky, June 13.--When the
Marcum murder ease was resumed,
Saturday, Commonwealth Attorney
Byrd stated that the detail sent out
Friday night TO arrest Henry Free
man, badly wanted witness. had
returned without the man. Lieut..
Cannard and Deputy Whitaker, sent
by the commonwealth, stated that
Goodloe Combs. who went along on
the orders of Judge Redwine, to the
surprise of the soldiers, when within
a hundred yards OF Frceman's house,
ran ahead and fired two shots. He
claimed that he saw something in the
road. When the soldiers arrived at
Freeman's house he was not there.
Evidences that he had run away when
he heard the shots were that some
garments had been left behind and
his imprint In the earth was fresh.
His wife admitted that he had been
there, and she was held, but Judge
Redwine refused TO have her as a
witness. The anti-Hargis people say
that Freeman is an important wit
ness, and they feel that he has been
hired to remain away from court. Mr..
Byrd says he would have TO close the
case without Freeman, and submit
ted the case Of the commonwealth.
Attorney O'Neill. for the defense,
moved for peremptory instruction
disnissing the defendants Judge
Redwine excused the jury TO hear the
arguments on the motion, which was
subseuuently denied.

Pushing to the Front.

Even the president Of the United
States cannot check Southern prog
ress and advancement. Though he
undertook to put crimp in the on
ward march of Indianola by depriv-
ing her citizens of postal facilities,
he has failed. The Sunflower town
is rapidly pushing to the front in an
industrial way. A cotton compress,
new oil mill and number OF lesser
enterprises are being built, and the
new railroad--the construction of
which through the county is contem-
plated-will undoubtedly be given a
liberal support.

THE FLOOD IS R[C[D|NG.
The Situation at East st. Louis, ILL.,,
Is Gradually Improving as
the Waters Fall.
WORKING TO KEEP THE DRY SPOTS DRY.
Mayor Cook Has Ordered the Dis
misxaI of Paid Inborers ON the
DiLes and VIII Trust 10 Nolun-
teer Help Ia Guard the Emsani.
nrnis From Now ON.

81. Louis, June 13.-The stage OF
the river Saturday morning was 81;
feet. fall of 2-5 inches from Friday
night.
In East ST. Louis the situation i.
much improved. AT the Relay station
and vicinity the flood fell six inches
during the night, and IL also fell IN
the flooded section south along the
Broadway front.
II has gone down foot since Fri.
day morning.
At Lansdowne, in the northeast
part OF East st. Louis, water, which
has been pouring in at Hunters sta.
tion through a gap in the Baltimore
4 Ohio right-of-way, rose an inch
over night.
Ahalf mile west of Lansdownc, where
the roadbed of the baltimore q Ohio
is chiefly constructed Of cinders, the
current is seeping through. The
endangered point is 100 yards in
length. and has been reinforced by Il
wall of sandbags. Because of the ex-
ira danger, an extra force of militia
has beeen stationed to keep sight
seers away.
rhe water at the Relay station Is
still rs inches above the street level.
IT is seeping through the low places
between Broadway and Missouri AVE-
nue. and Missouri and Illinois avenues.
Broadway is still closed. Traffic on
the Suburban line TO Belleville was
closed Friday night because of the
encroachment of water over the
tracks between Lake station and Je-
rome station.
1t was resumed Saturday morning
by using wagons TO transport pas
sengers over the flooded portion,
where IL ranges in depth from eight
to ten inches. The ears ON each side
run TO the edge of the flood, and the
wagons are brought into use in con-
Meeting the gap.
Superintendent Bramlett of the
electric line says that the power
house is In no danger, as 1t has been
surrounded by wall of sandbags,
which affords ample protection.
Mayor Cook is so encouraged over
the improvement in the situation that
he has ordered all the paid laborers
on leyee works TO be laid off
He says the volunteer help will be
sufficient to guard the cmbankments
now and reinforce the weak points.
The chief work along the leyee
front Friday night, was done on the
Belt line at Lansdowne and on the
rock road near Lake Bridge.
Everything is quiet and orderly in
East ST. Louis, and long lines of per-
sons were in front of the relief office
in the Arcade building to receive dis
tributions Of clothing from the re-
lief committee.
