Natchez, Miss, March 24.-Sycamore
levee is now being strengthened from
the rear and dykes to drain off the
sipage are being arranged. The river
rose two-tenths in the past twenty
four hours, reading 49.7 on the gauge,
or one-tenth lower than the highest
stage in 1897. This rise does not allay
the feeling of uneasiness, and planters
in many places are preparing for
every emergency.
Steamboats, are required to exercise
every precaution and to steer clear
of new leVee work. These instructions
are hampering them in their relief
work, as provisions and fodder must
be delivered and the only way to do
it, is by Tightening 1t on barges. In
these cases the barges are towed to
the land by skiffs.
Alarming reports as to the con-
dition of the leVee four miles south of
Arkansas City, Ark, reached this city
to-day, but late. reports from the in
terror points were to the effect that
the levee. which had been caving in
badly. would be held in by the forces
employed there.
Sam Goherty, a prominent planter
of Raccourci Island, La, arrived in
the city to-day and says that the is
land, which includes nine fine planta
lions, is entirely under water.

BUSY ON The LEVEES.
FORCES Are Working Hard to Make
Them Hold.

New Orleans, March PA north
wind kept the river here stationary.
and there were no new developments
anywhere along the Louisiana line.
Something like a gale prevailed dur
ing the night and caused much APP
prehension concerning the safety of
the levees, though the days reports
have brought no news of crevasses. 1t
is believed here that the river is now
carrying OFF much of the food that
caused the overfows in North Mem
phis and in Arkansas. There is no
change whatever in local conditions.
No attempt is to be made to close
the break on the La Fourche. The
damage it can do has been discounted,
and planters likely to be affected have
large forces engaged in throwing up
side and back levees to protect their
plantations.
The bayou has fallen two and a half
feet at Napoleonville. The Southern
Pacific trains on the main line have
not been interrupted
The hardest fight on the river is
now being made in the la Fourche
and Pontchartrain districts. which
cover the front south of Baton Rogue
on both sides of the Mississippi river.
Large forcees of men are steadily en-
ployed on both banks. These levees
as rule. are among the best in the
state. and with the continuance of good
weather, the engineers expect the crest
to pass without mishap notwithstand-

BY r. NJ. Larner.

Washington, March 24.-An indefinite
delay in preparing the plans and draw
ings for the Marine Hospital building
at Savannah is threatened unless
better understanding between the sur
geon general of the Marine Hospital
Service, Gen. Wyman, and the super
vising architect of the Treasury is
reached. 1t appears there has been no
official communication from Gen. Wy
man to the Treasury officials, since it
was decided to go ahead with the
work, without waiting to acquire the
additional part of the square in which
was the original site for the new
postoffice.
The officials of the Treasury De-
partment assert that after the question
of the site was disposed of, Gen. wy
man sent a brief communication that
the work should be advanced on the
site coded to the government by the
Georgia Legislature, at It's recent ses-
sion. He also added that, there need
be no delay because the government
had not secured the entire square, as
originally proposed. He failed, how
ever to impart to the officials of the
department his ideas of what style of
building he thinks most desirable, and
made no suggestions which might have
aided the experts in drawing the plans
and specifications.
1t is customary for the surgeon gen.
eral to make certain recommendations
or suggestions, as to the sanitary ar
rangements, the size of the rooms, the
character of the building and other de-
tails which may enable the architect
to draw his plans to meet, as far as
possible, the requirements of the serv-
ice, and at the same time harmonic
with the opinion of the surgeon gem
eral on the subject.
The pressure of other business may
have prevented Gen. Wyman from sub
hitting his recommendation concerning
the Savannah building, for whenever
the subject has been called to his at

PRETTY GIRLS PICTURES
USED IN ARGUMENT.

German Emperor Promised Them
Lieutenan ts as Their Dance PART
ners.
Berlin, March 24.-The photographs
of twenty of the prettiest girls in Gre
field have now become part of the
Reichstag record, as tangible argu-
ment why Parliament should appro-
pirate funds for the erection of a bar
racks at Crefeld, so as to enable the
girls to have lieutenants as dance part
ners. The Emperor, at a Crefeld party
one night, was surrounded by a num-
Der of girls and said to them:
you like to dance with my lieuten-
ants, don't you?"
Alas! your Majesty" replied one of
the girls, there are no lieutenants"
mo lieutenants!" exclaimed the En-
peror. Then l will send you a regi-
ment."
Thereupon he directed that a Hus-
sar regiment be transferred from Dus-
seldorf to Crefeld. as soon as bar
racks could be built for the soldiers.
Since then there has been a warm con-
test before the Budget Committee be-
tween Dusseldorf and Crefeld, the
former opposing the transfer of the
regiment, and during the contest the
photographs of the pretty girls were
officially presented and filed.
Herr Theodor Dirkish, the DusSel-
dOrf member of the Reichs tag, con-
tended that his town had just as pref
ty girls as Crefeld, and offered to sub
init their portraits, but the committee
said ii was not necessary.

to-day to listen to an open-air address
by President John Mitchell of the
United Mine Workers. on the subject
of strikes His remarks bore directly
and almost entirely on the situation in
West Virginia at this time. He said,
in part:
The capital and labor question de-

tigation of the American public. 1t
is the paramount subject of the Amer
lean thinking people and all chimeras
and theories must bow before the
great facts pressing for solution and
settlement. a.
II am not an advocate of strikes.
but there are times when they are nee
essary to clinch the argument of truth
in the interests of the laboring people
of this country. Strikes are a feature
of civilization, and they are merely a
means to an end in the great social
evolution that is now confronting the
American people Barbarous. countries
and states have mot strikes they are
unknown there. Strikes are the
sledge-hammers that weld the con-
Meeting links of labor and capital and

ploye, and we come with offerings of

NOBODY HURRYING

Responsibility for the Delay in Getting the Plans

General Wyman.

tention he has evinced the keenest in

desire to give that city a handsome,
well equipped two-story stone or brick
building, which will not only be an or
nament to the city of Savannah but
will also be a comfortable resort for
such patients as may be sent there for
treatment.
He has expressed these views to me
more than once, but unfortunately, it
seems, that he has not confined the
views in detail, officially, to the Of
ficials of the architects office. In the
meantime the architects office is not
hunting up new projects, as it is UNI

at reasonable figure. That question,
however, has been eliminated from the
controversy by the decision of those
in authority to go ahead and construct

Amory at the hearing on the charge
of criminal libel made by him against
II. H. sXreeland of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company, declared to-
day in the Centre Street Court that
his only business for a year had been
investigating the financial condition of
this company. He admitted that ne
did not hold any stock or bonds of
the company.
The charge made by Mr.. Amory is a
result of a statement issued by Mr.
Vreeland, after publicity had been Civ
en- to an attack upon the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company, in which IT
was alleged the annual statement of
surplus was false, and that dividends
had been illegally paid. In this state

CATARRH CURED BY DRY AIR.
Hyomei 'Medicntes the Air You
Breathe, Kills the Germs and Cures
the Disease.

Hyomei cures catarh thoroughly and
permanently, because it reaches the
smallest air cells in the head, throat
and lungs, kills the germs, causing the
disease and drives it from the system.
Hyomei goes to the root of the disease,
destroys the cause, and makes perma-
nent cures which can be effected in no
other way. Breathe it for few minutes
four times a day and benefit will be
seen at once. Continue this treatment
for a few weeks and Hyomei will have
cured you.
The Hyomei in the inhaler furnished
with the outfit dries and sterlizes the
air you breathe. 1t is a local and direct
treatment for Graduating all catarrh
germs in the mucous membrane and
tissues and in this way cures catarrh
in any part of the system. Used in
connection with Hyomei Balm it has
been successful in curing the worst
and most deep-seated cases of ca
tarrhal deafness.
A. w. Clark of Everett, Mass, writes:
Il have spent a fortune on different
treatments for catarrh and could not
hear across the table. After using
Hyomei and Hyomei Balm for eight
days 1 can hear as we'll as ever"
Stronger than any claims that can
be made in an advertisement is the
fact that knights Pharmacy Co. will
give their personal guarantee with ev-
cry Hyomei outfit they sell to refund
the money if the purchaser can say
that Hyomei has not given satisfac-
ton.
