great tract the Southern Pacific had
selection privileges. Authority for the

Situation At New orIeansT Takes on
More Hopeful Aspect. :.
New Orleans, March 16.-The gauge
here at night reads little over 1913,
which is only two-tenths below the
record Of 1897, but the sudden change
from stormy weather to sunshine has
given renewed hope all along the line:
A week ago it was thought there
would surely be crevasse at Arling-
ton, a short distance below Baton
Rouge. There had been a cave in in
the old levee and a long new. levee
was started in the rear. This was In
process OF construction when the high
water came. The new levee was then
abandoned and smaller levee was
built around the cave proper. Several
thousand convicts and other laborers
were kept busy, the river was held
back and the task finished when the
storm was at it's height. Governor
Heard went there during the day and
is satisfied the danger is past.

Cromwell, the attorney for the Pan

of $2,O00,0 900 if the treaty is passed by

opinion of New York lawyers and
finds general credence. Cromwell's S
arrangement with the canal company
IS reported to be on the basis of per
cent of the amount realized for the
sale. With smaller figures this
amount would not seem exorbitant,
but the Panama company expects to
receive $40,000,000, and Cromwell's
fee is therefore enormous.
