LOUISIANA LEvEES HOLDING
TEMPORARY WORKS ERECTED In
FRONT OF NEW ORLEANS.
Situation at Memphis and Above I'm
proving, as the River Is Now
Stationary or Falling.

VICKSBURG, Miss, March pa new
danger point has appeared on the Missis-
sippi river, rather serious reports coming
to-day from Everton, three miles south of
Rosedale, in Bolivar county. The main
levee at that point is said to be sloughing
and leaking badly. A special train, with
several hundred laborers, was rushed to
the danger point from Greenville. High
northwesterly winds have prevailed to-day,
adding another element of danger to the
situation.
Scores Of refugees, many of them desti-
tute, came yesterday and to-day. and the
problem of what to do with them is be-
coming severe. Forty or fifty negro fam
lilies living in the lowlands at Kolinston,
this county, had to flee from their homes
this evening, a small protection levee hav-
ing given way.
The gauge here tonight registers 51.1. a
two-tenths rise since morning.
NATCHEZ, Miss, March 23.-Sycamore
levee, ten miles above Vidalia. over which
there has been so much uneasiness, is now
a foot higher than in 1897. Work ON 1t has
been pushed rapidly. The Natchez gauge
tonight stands at 49.5, or 5.5 above the
maximum, in 1897, and is rising.

LOUISIANA WELL PROTECTED.
No Fresh Crevasses RepOrted-Still
Rising at New Orleans.


NEW ORLEANS, March 23.-With all the
Louisiana levees on the main stream hold
ing, the river continues to rise slowly here.
To-day the gauge registered 20.1, a rise of
a tenth in twenty-four hours. If the pres
ent rate of rise is continued, the Weather
Bureaus prediction of Il will be realized.
The temporary levees that have been built
along the commercial front are now high
enough to stand this maximum and consid-
erably more.
No news of fresh crevasses reached here
to-day. AS a matter of fact, beyond the
trifiing break sixty miles down the river,
the damage from which is inconsequential,
and the Bougere break, in Concordia, all
Louisiana levees along the river have sus-
tanned the strain against them. The most
encouraging information comes from the
Fifth district, where the largest levees in
the State exist. The line there promises
to hold firmly until the crest of the flood
has passed. If it does, however, the strain
will be increased In the lower reaches of
the river.
The effect of the break in front of the
handsome colonial residence of Internal
Revenue Collector Howell, in La Fourche,
has been TO greatly add water to Bayou La
Fourche. The bayou is down over three
feet at Thiboudeaux to-day. 1t is feared
the Howell residence will go. The town of
Thiboudeaux will not suffer. The Southern
Pacific does not expect its main line to be
interrupted by the water from this break.

A Good Deal Has Been Said That II
Unfair to the College.

Unfair to the College.
Leslie's Weekly.
In view of the adverse criticism and I'M
founded charges that have found currency
in the public press concerning the action
of the faculty and the board of trustees of
Cornell University during the course of the
terrible epidemic of typhoid which has
visited that institution, it is but measure
of justice to state some of the facts and the
truth of the situation as they have come
to our knowledge from unprejudiced and
authoritative sources. President Schurman
and the board of trustees. acting In COM
plete and hearty accord, have, in fact, met
the crisis with promptness, wisdom, eff
cheney, and humanity, and have left moth
ing undone which the best available sources
of modern sanitary science and medical
knowledge could provide in caring for the
sick and preventing the further spread OF
the disease. President Schurman, the man
on whom the brunt of the attack has
fallen, and the burden of meeting the ca
lamity has most heavily rested, has kept
Ito use his own words of admonitiOn to the
students) "a clear head and a generous
heart throughout these trying weeks. He
has calmly and wisely met each emergency
as il rose and at the same time looked
forward, providing for the future. II Is the
testimony Of nurses called from outside to
care for students, and who are not in the
pay of the university, that the provision
made for their work has been most wise
and generous the poorer students being as
carefully and tenderly looked after by the
university authorities as the richest and
most influential. 1t has been President
Schurman's expressed desire that every STU
dent should have the same care that he
should wish for his own son, and this de-
sire has to the utmost practicable extent
been carried out. All of this would go with
out saying among those who know of the
character of DR.. Schurman and of the men
who compose his board of trustees, but
since the situation has been represented
otherwise, either in ignorance or malice,
it is well that these facts should be thus
stated.
