CAUCUS NOT BINDING
MANY DEMOCRATS WILL VOTE
 FOR TREATY,
Pleased With General Outlook and Think Republicans Will Cause Trouble for Themselves by
 Forcing an Extra Session.

Washington, March 1e-tSpeclal.) .)-All the Democrats were at the conference to- day except Senators McIaurin. Cuiber. son. Morgan, Dubois, Clarke and Gib- son. Senator Bailey, who had returned from New York. was present
 The agreement to support the Money Monroe doctrine amendment and the Bacon substitute for clause 8 of the canal treaty was entered into with the under standing that individuals of the party would not thereby be bound in the final vote on the treaty itself.
 Most of the Democrats will vote for the ratification of the treaty, despite rumors to the contrary of railroad lobby in- fiuences being brought to bear to defeat 1t.
 Senator Bailey took a brief part in the executive session discussion today. Sena- tor Carnack 1t is said. made a strong speech of ten minutes.
 Indications tonight arc that the Senate will reach the adjournment point before the week Is over. notwithstanding the fact that Senators McEnry, Teller and Patterson. all very capable long distance takers. are infating their lungs for exercise on Cuban reciprocity. It is said that Senator Foster of Louisiana who has never made a speech in the Senate. win deliver himself against the treaty.
 All the Democratic amendments to the canal treaty will be voted down. Demo- cratic Senators are content to let the end of special session come with the Repub- licans carrying the responsibility which must in the shape Cuban reciprociy will assume, result in the calling of an extra session of Congress in the early fall.

At Vicksburg, Miss.

Vicksburg. Miss, March 16.-A slow and irregular rise in the Mississippi River con tinues at this point The gauge at D. m. register 4S. g a one-tenth rise for twelve hours, compared with six-tenths for the preceding forty-eight hours. Officials of the Fifth Louisiana Levee Board returned today from a tour of inspection and their reports are optimistic. Engineer Robin son said:
 "Our entire levee line, and. as far as have seen OF this trip, those of Missis- sippi and Arkansas also, are in fit con- dition, believe. to hold all the water that may ocme down on this rise; that is pro vided the rains in the upper valley should stop long enough to allow the present water to get out of the way. We have our lines well guarded to prevent cutting and I am inclined to think we are safe

So Far Breaks Around New Orleans
 are of Little Consequence.
 New Orleans. March 16.-Another ideal day enabled work in strengthening the levees and the line in the city and along the river is reported In good condition. The guage tonight reads 19.2 which Is a tenth below last night. but the weather bureau says that the rise at Memphis is yet to come and the twenty-one foot stage will reach here.
 The Bougere levee in Concorda Parish, in the northern part of the State. close to the Texas and Pacific tracks. Is re- ported weak tonight, but General Mana ger Thorne is up the road and will put an army of men to work there.
 The first real break is reported in the Buras district some sixty or seventy miles below the city. It Is said to be several hundred feet wide, but can do no harm, as the territory Is close to the gulf and few interests will be damaged as the water will run Into the Mexican sea. The Arlington levee. about which there was so much apprehension. Is being held nicely, although 1t will take twenty days to complete the protective measures there. The engineers feel very much en- couraged. and Captain Cromwell. the United States engineer, Goes not even think the Bougere break serious.
 President H. c. Leake of the Pont- charatrain board, who Is in charge of the section between here and Baton Rouge protecting the Illinois Central Missis- sppi Valley tracks. win start a patrol train out tomorrow morning with labor and material aboard and make daily in- spection of the district. This plan will also likely be adopted by the Texas and Pacific on the opposite bank.

HERB DOCTOR SOLD POISON
 TO MANY WOMEN.
Philadelphia Police Officials Direct the Opening of 34 Graves, Be- ieving Negro Responsible
 for That Many Deaths.

Philadelphia, March 16-Seventy letters. found in the home of George Hossey, the negro ''herb doctor," who is accused of being an accessory to the alleged mur- der of William G. Danze.
 These letters. which are said to be of an discriminating nature. vary little in their terms. and, it is asserted, show that Hossey charged $l0O for every case. Some of the letters point to payment of the fee in installments
 The police officials have directed the opening of thirty-four graves. having se- cured evidence that leads them to believe that George Hossey, the negro ''herb doctor" is responsible for at least that many deaths Hossey Is in jail as an &C., cessory to the murder of William C.. Danze. whose widow is charged with hav- ing administered to her husband slow poison furnished by the negro
 We do not know how many poisoning cases can be traced to Hossey." said a police official today but thus far we have secured evidence that has warrant cd us in directing the opening of thirty four graves
 This case Is assuming proportions far beyond the comprehension of those con- nected with 1t at the time Hossey was ar rested. The real investigation Is just be- ginning and before it proceeds much fur ther startling developments will crop out''
 Detectives are searching for a white woman who is alleged to have represented Hossey in the preliminary dealings with his patrons.

SPENCER WILL STICK
HAS NO INTENTION OF RESIGN
 ING PRESIDENCY.
Vigorously Denies That He Will Be Succeeded by W. W. Finley, Now Vice President of the
 Southern.

New York March 16.-(special. .)-Presl- dent Spencer of the Southern Railway vigorously denied today the report that he Is to retire and be succeeded by Vice. President Finley. The report was printed on the alleged authority of Colonel Hen derson, Assistant General Counsel of the road.
 'I wana to deny that story without res ervation." said MT. Spencer. T am not surprised at anything that is printed about the Sonuthern Railway in newspa- pers. as lately there have been a number of bitter attacks circulated for a pur- pose. At last Fridays meeting of the Board of Directors. there was not the slightest mention of the change suggested. I do not believe that Colonel Henderson ever gave any such information to any one. have wired him regarding the re- port and shall make every effort to trace its origin"

LEVEES GIVING TO THE
 MISSISSIPPPS WATERS

Betsy Ann, which arrived up from Bayou Sara this afternoon. The railroad en- bankment had a base of a hundred feet and was built last year. It connected the upper and lower Bougere levees, and it was feared it would give way since the protection levee washed out last week. The ends of the break will be sacked to prevent further caving of the levee.
 This part of the Taxes and Pacific is all new, being the division which is to connect with the New Orleans and North western of the Missouri or Gould sys- tenn The connection was to have been completed within thirty days. when the high water put stop to the work. Thus far the railroad is the greatest sufferer from this break.
 Dr. Robert c. Carter of Concordia Par ish. Louisiana, arrived here this after noon. having ridden horseback over the entire Sycamore levee in this parish. The levee protects Vidalia. the parish site, and was reported as shaky at each end. Dr. Carter said that the levee is low in two places, but will hold as during the past two days of fine weather the levee has been materially strengthend and will be made perfectly safe. A stretch of 1000 feet at one end and 2,4O0 feet at the other are low. but 1t will stand another 1-2 feet in its present condition. An entire levee outfit. including twelve teams and a force of fifty plantation hands un- der the supervision of J. H. Lambdin of the Levee Board have drained the levee at the base to carry off the seapage.
 Superintendent W. A. Wyatt of the New Orleans and Northwestern Railroad took a carload of lumber and carload of sacks to the Sycamore levee yesterday and the levee, which now has an eight foot crown. will be topped at least three feet, thus making 1t good for a 1-2-foot additional rise.
 The weather here is clear and the river is on stand at E.s, or 3-S above the danger line.

CHAMBERLAIN cHEERED.
The Opposition, However, Receives
 Him With Frigid Silence,

London March 16.-Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's re-entry into the House of Commons today was signalized by an un- usual reception from the Conservatives and Unionists while the Liberals and Cen tralists maintained a significant silence. Volleys of cheers from the government supporters greeted the Secretary as he entered the House and lasted six minutes. MT. Chamberlain looked much worn. but was obviously in the best spirits as he rose to inform a questioner that he was afraid 1t would be difficult to collect and publish all his South African speeches. He was ashamed to say he had made about seventy and he had had no time to read them, much less collect them.
 There was voclferous Liberal counter demonstration when MT. Crooks. the new Liberal member for WOolwich, who re- gently won that distinction for the oppo- sition. took his seat.
