CLOSING THE BREAK
ENGINEERS WILL SCORE TRI-
 UMPH AT HYMELIA.
At New Orleans 1t is Believed That the Height of the Flood Has Been Reached-Good
 Weather Prevails.

New Orleans, April 2.-with the sue. cessfuI joining of the ends of the crib work leading from either side of the broken Hymelia levee. an achievement which was accomplished early this fore noon, the critical stage is considered to have been passed In the attempt to close the crevasse. now seven hundred feet in width Only the most unexpected mis- fortune resulting in the carrying away of the cribbinC can prevent the success of the undertaking which. in view of the extent of the break and the conditions that surrounded 1t. is regarded as an un- usual triumph in crevasse fighting.
 Generally the river conditions are con- sidered to be improved in Louisiana. The intervention of good weather has con- tributed largely to the strengthening oI the levee system. Every embankment in the State above New Orleans is holding, except those at Bougere and Angola, where the damage done Is local. and 1t is felt that the maximum flood Is at least in sight. The river here remained sta tionary at 20.l today.
 Unconfirmed reports were received of a further break in the vicinity of the Bo- heunia crevasse below Pointe~a-la Hache, which is over 50 miles down the river. A break there now has no significance, as there Is little If any cultivated land to overflow.

INSTRUCTIONS RECEIVED.
Those to Herbert and Won sterna berg Said to Be Identical.

Washington, April 2--The British Am bassador. Sir Michael Herbert, has re- ceived his final instructions as to th@ amendments to be offered to the yens- zuelan protocol as drafted by Mir. Boz wen. The nature of the changes has not been stated.
 It is understood the instructions to Baron von Sternberg. the German Min- ister, will be identical with those pre- pared in London. The German EmbassY here has been made aware of the instrucs uons received by the british Ambassa- dor and should instructions come from Berlin during the absence of the Minis@ ter, Baron von Dembuschehadenhause the first Secretary, will carry forward the negotiations until the Ministers req turn. Signor Mayor des Ranches. thg Italian Ambassador, will proceed in hare mony with the British and German pro- gram. It is understood that the neeoti@ ations between Mir. Bowen and the rep~s resentatives of European powers will b@ conducted separately.
 Tn addition to Mir. Wayne Macveaghx, who will be the chief counsel for th@ United States and the other peace pows CTS at The Hague, 1t is said to be tho present intention of the Washington ats thorities that he shall be assisted by Mr. Bowen who will continue to act in his capacity as Venezuela's plenipotentiarys and probably by Mir. Penneld, solicitor for the State Department. who conducteo with such success the case of the Unite6s Ststes in the Plus fund last year.

OFFICEHOLDERS FIGHT
SENATOR CLARKE, (ARK.,) , AND CONGRESSMAN BRUNDI0E.
Altercation Occurs in Front of the Capitol Hotel in Little Rock. Neither is Seriously
 Hurt.

Little Rock. Ark. April 2.--A fight oc- cured here today in front of the Capital Hotel on one of the most prominent streets of the city between United States senatos James F. Clarke and Congress. man Brundige.
 The difficulty occurred oyer a state ment given to a reporter by Mir. Brun- dise in an interview several weeks ago. Senator Clarke struck MT. Brundige sev- eral blows on the head. which were promptly returned by MT. Brundige.
 There were a great many members of the Legislature and others in front of the hotel at the time and they interfered before any serious injury was done to either of the combatants. Mir. Brundige went to his room where his bloody cloth ing was exchanged.
 When seen he said that Mir. Clarke had insulted him and that he (Mr. Brun- dlge) had been struck with a hard object in the altercation which ensued.
 No further trouble is expected.

TRIMMING IS BEGUN
RooSEvELT's CABINET FOR
 ULTRA-PRoTECTIoN.
Believed in Washington That the President Has Been Induced to Revise His Ideas of Re-
 vision of Tariff.

Washington. April 2-tspecial 1.-The utterances to the public of the President and his ministry from now on will engage the closest scrutiny of polIticar~ r~sspita, marufaatunsrv-sa. pss<sSA A-
 Secretary Shaw's speech, just delivered a, Peoria, Is regarded in Washington as approximately refiecting the change of President Roosevelt's whilom dream of tariff revision.
 The Treasury chief did not directly ap- proach the subject, but devoted himself mainly to ridiculing the Democratic pol icy of abolishing or reducing the duties on articles manufactured by the trusts. Yet ultra protection bristled all over Secretary shawAs deliverance. Again. Secretary Root in Boston tonight is to ieassure the high tariff interests with the promise that the President will lend himself to resisting the Democratic ef- forts at revision until after the election next year.
 s The policy is to stand pat on hope de- Rerred until the fifty-ninth Congress.
 President Roosevelt went into the White House with well-established con- viction that the tariff ought to be re- vised. He asked for certain changes, but in vain. Extreme pressure was brought to bear upon him that had a distinct con- nection with his chances for nomination next year.
 So President Roosevelt desisted as a tariff reformer.
 It is believed in Washington that he will fight extremely shy of the tariff ques- tion in his speeches.
 Meantime the Democrats. determined upon straight revision along old Grover Cleveland lines. are taking great courage In the situation and confidently expect large gains. especially in the Middle West. where tariff revision sentiment is positive and self-assertive. even among lifelong Republicans.

Plans for the Coming Reunion of Con
 Federates.

New Orleans. April 2.-Preparations for the Confederate reunion, which begins May 1S. are now well under way. Every body is taking hold, and there is no doubt about the success of the greatest reunion ever held in the South.
 A number of novel features will be in- troduced. Each State division will have a band preceding 1t in the parade. Four teen young ladies of the highest Con- federate standing will ride in beauti- fully decorated tallyho at the head of the parade, and will be known as heralds They will be dressed entirely in white and will have banners denoting the State they represent and the coats of arms of the States will be wrought in flowers on the sides of the tallyhos. The States have already been asked to name the young ladies. They will be accompanied in the tallyho by a New Orleans sponsor as hostess.
 The tallyho will be preceded by the Memphis bugle corps of forty-five pieces, composed of society young men who have been training for the purpose.
 The reunion parade will form on St. Charles Avenue. with the right at Mel pomene. and will move around Lee Circle down St. Charles Street to Canal where 1t will disperse after passing down that magnificent street. No place in the

Caracas. Tuesday. March u.-Congrssa. in a secret meeting. has authorised Cas- tro to fuifiil the obligations embodied n the British; German and Italian protocols. but only as an extraordinary act. with out giving them legal sanction, 70 e no4 to establish a precedent.
 The resolutions adopted by CongreGau and which are still unknown to the vsns esueian House, are as follows:
 The Congress of Venezuela, consider. ing that the protocols settled at washs ington February. 1s. by the reprssenkas tives of Venezuela and those of Ger- many. Great Britain and Italy. were agreed upon and subscribed to in tho midst of q period. during which foroe was exercised upon the republic in c manner as unforeseen as it was unnat~ ural. and that such documents cannot be considered in the form for dipiomatio negotiations which are regularly inittsteds pursued and terminated.
 Resolved. To rescind, with respect to the said protocols. from the constitu- tional consequences relative to dipiomatia Go4dco anu " AtnsiL AtN 4SttoA WASn A~% spect to the said protocols to authorize the Federal Executive to put them into execution. without any of their ciausea establishing the least precedent in tho life of the Venezuelan nation.F
 The Italian Treaty.
 .'The Congress of Venezuela. considers ing that the interpretation given in tho protocols signed with Italy r'enrt1ty A4 to the treaty of June lg. 1sst, 6hd tho amplification or modification of some o4 It's clauses render impossible the cons tinued existence of this treaty. since such action is in flagrant contradiction 10 eona& of it's original stipulations and with atha principles which, py virtue of the treakyg have been fully observed by both par- ties.
 Resolved. To call on the Federal Ex- ecutive to exercise with the shortest pos-' sible delay the power contained in Arr ticie 27 of the said treaty with respect to its denunciation."
 Congress then adjourned as a protest of indignation and patriotism against the protocols. The Senate today voted to authorize the Government to contract ona or more loans. specially devoted to the conversion of venezuela's internal and external debts.

Christian.
 Copenhagen. April 2.-Emperor William arrived here today. The Emperor. who was in the best of spirits, was warmly welcomed by King Christian and replied most kindly to the latter's remarks.
 The speeches which King Christian and the Emperor will deliver at the gala din- ner at the palace tonight will not be of political character.
 The population turned out en masse to welcome the German Emperor. When the imperial yacht. Hohenxollern. an- chored at o'clock. the Danish warships and the forts fired salutes. There was great cheering. the bands played the German anthem and the artillery thun- dered salutes when Emperor William. wearing an admirars uniform. stepped on the landing stage. where he was met by King Christian. who was accompanied by the Princes of the Danish royal fam fly. King Christian embraced the Ger man Emperor, kissing him on both cheeks.
 After inspecting the guard of honor their niajesties drove in a carriage drawn by six horses to the Danish royal resi- dence. the castle Amalieborg. escorted by detachment of hussars. The route was thronged by cheering crowds who in the warmth of their demonstration at one point broke through the police cordon.
