THINKS LEvEEs WILL HOLD.
Parham, However, Says the Worst
 is to Come.

is to Come.
 Natchez, March 2S.-Messrs. J. H. Lambdin. Dan Snyder and D. B. Par ham of the Fifth Louisiana District, re- turned today from an inspection of he Concordia Parish levees, their inspection ending at Greens, eighteen miles below Concordia. MT. Parham expressed the opinion of his party by saying that they are inclined to the belief that the levees will hold, though he is satisfied the worst Is not over. He says the water going through below Greenville will come back to the river through the Yazoo and it will come down here. He further stated
 The Sycamore levee Is considered the most dangerous levee in our parish at present. but MT. Lambdln. the local com missioner ,is in charge and is given his whole time and attention to strengthen ing and raising 1t. He has done a great amount of work n a very short time and in few days 1t is believed that the levee will be in condition to stand all the wa ter we are likely to get''
 The water is now tapping the new ground thrown on top of Sycamore levee. which shows that the work there was not commenced any too soon. MT. Lambdin has issued instructions to the steamer Betsy Ann not to land at Torras
 The steamer St. Joseph came up from below this morning with a full load of passengers and stock from the flooded district. The officers report daring res- cue of three men who were found adrift in Black river. One of them men was on log and the other two in trees. They had been washed out by the crevasse at Bougere and had been without food for three days.
 A number of deer are in corral under the hills. driven up by the water, and one ran through the streets of Natchez today.
 The gauge Is BOA, a rise of one-tenth for twenty-four hours ending at ( p. m.

PRESIDENT IS SATISFIED.
Dewey Says Newspaper Man Quoted
 Him Correctly.


 Washington. March 2s.-At the instance of the President, Admiral Dewey called by appointment at the White House to- day and made full explanation of a recent newspaper interview in which the Admiral was quoted as saying The Car ribbean Sea manouvres were an object lesson to the Kaiser, more than to any other person."
 The Admiral assured the President that he had no intention of refiecting in the interview upon Germany. her emperor or her navy and that while the statements credited to him were substantially what he said. he neglected to caution the in- terviewer against quoting him.
 At the close of the interview the Ad- mlral returned immediately to his Rhode Island Avenue home. The admiral de- clined to make any statement for pubn- cation. At the White House 1t was said the Admiral's explanation was satisfac- tory to the President. It is not believed that further official notice will be taken of the incident.

At Vicksburg.

Vicksburg. Miss. March 2S.-As a result of the crevasse at La Grange and Abe marie. trafic on the Vickshurg- Green vile and the Riverside divisions of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Road has beer entirely suspended an order an- milling all trains having been issued this morning. Water from the break has spread rapidly and there is hardly a dry spot between here and Greenville. Under such conditions and with large negro population which lives from hand to mouth, much suffering is sure 10 fol- low. Conditions in the overfiowed dis tricts are deplorable in the extreme.
 The river here fell two-tenths during the twenty-four hours ending at p. m., but this fall will be checked in a day or two as the water from the LaGrange crevasse will find it's way back into the Mississippi at this point through the Yazoo River.

OPERATORS TAKE ACTION
Prefer Suspension to a Fight
 With the Unions.
Textile Workers Consider That Strike is Now in Progress and VIII Raise . Large De-
 fense Fund.

Lowell, Mass. March 2s.-In preference to fighting the textile unions of r.ovsir. the agents of seven big cotton mills to- day ordered an entire suspension of wort Tor an indefinite period.
 TWO days ago these agents officiallv au- nounced that canvass of the help show- ed that upward of SO per cent. were nou- union and were opposed to A str,,s rh,. sentiment changed. yesterday. and when a second canvass was taken of the loom nxers, ca-ders. nappers. weayers ana peamers this morning, 1t was sesn th.s the textile council was able to fulfli tts threat and strike in the mills Mondav- "i1nout delay notices of shut down. .o take effect at once. were posted On the gates and as piece hands compretad their work they were told to leave. whar speed went down at noon fully l7.ooo op. eratives had been forced into idienezz
 May Last Many Weeks.
 The length of the shut-down ia proh- Iematical. but 1t Is likely to last many weeks. as the unions have been pronaised nnancial support from the United Textile workers Of America, the National Mrala Spinners' Association, the American Fed. eration of Labor and from the local trade. ana Labor Council, composed of forty- five unions.
 Agent W. s. Southworth of the Mas- sacnusetts Mills, Secretary of the Man ufacturers' Association, says that pf the mill people think that the shut-down will be for fortnight. they are greatly mis- taken. It will last, he says. until the agents are positively told that all the operatives want to work, and when this time comes the agents will consider the matter of resumption.
 President Conroy, of the Textile Coun- ell. who stands as the strike leader, aays.
 The action of the mill agents sin1pll- fies matters. They have simply ahtirE4 pated us. If they had not declared h shutdown we would have tied them up anyway and they know it. This makes 1t easier for us to handle the men. I cannot say what will happen. There may be trouble any way"
 17,Oo0 Primarily Affected.
 The shut down will affect primarily the H,00o operatives. In a month many hun- dreds of operatives in small industries supplying material to the big mills will join the army of the unemployed and the longer the enforced idleness the greater the paralysis of the industry hereA
 The area covered Dy the MassacnuSettas Boot. Merrtmec, Trent and Suffolk and Lawrence mills is about a mile in length by three eighths of a mile in breadth. bordering on the Merrimac River. The Appleton and Hamilton mills are nearer the geographical centre and are embraced in an area about half mile square. The product of these mills ranges from the coarsest of grain cotton to the finest of dress goods and all through all grades of print cloth. sheeting. shirt, nainsool<ss dimities, blankets. towelling table linen and silk warp goods.

WILL LEVY ASSESSMENT.
Textile Workers Consider That a
 Strike is Now On.

Fall River. Mass. March 8.-omcials of the United Textile Workers tonighe said the position of the Textile Workers towards the employees would be the same as though the mills were forced to close by a strike. Secretary Hilbert will Monday levy the assessment ordered by the council on 200 unions. which will amount to about $20.000 weekly.
 President James Tansey of the Textile Council tonight defined the position of the United Textile Workers In the coming controversy as follows:
 '"The Lowell operatives have commenced an agitation for an advance in wages. They have made al! arrangements and still have full control of the situation. There has never been any intention on the part of the Fall River union to force an issue in Lowell and there will not Dc any. The work of carrying the agitation in Lowell to a successful Issue involves only the operatives of the Lowell union. VI

THE BREAK AT HYMEL1A, LA
So Far No Effect Has Been Seen at
 New Orleans.

New Orleans, March 2.-Though great torrent of water is pouring through the break in the levee at Hymelia planta- tion. the river here shows little tendency to decline. Much consolation. however is derived from the fact that since the crevasse occurred the rise has ceased The early morning reading was 2ol. By nightfall 1t was POP. In explanation of the slight effect the break has had. the fact Is pointed to that the current pouring into Hymelia has not yet cut a channel fin the batture and only a surface flow Is going through the break. If the efforts to close the crevasse are abandoned, the levee. built of river said. will doubtless melt rapidly and produce a crevasse rival ling that of Davis in 1884, when the river here fell with considerable rapidity.
 Work at the crevasse progressed stead iIv during the day. Early in the morn ing some of the cribbing at the lower end yielded to the force of the current, but the line was recommenced and good head way made. The lower end of the broken levee Is washing badly and the crevasse is said to be over 300 feet in width. but it is hoped to arrest the crumbling as soon AS 1t is felt safe to begin sacking One hundred thousand feet of lumber and 5O,- 600 sacks of sand went to the scene early this afternoon by barge.
