THE WORK AT HYMELIA.
Effort Being Made to Keep Ends
 From Crumbltug Away.

New Orleans, April to.4-A force of $50 men remained at Hymelia crevasse to- day sacking the wings of the cribbing and attempting to make secure the broken ends, but no further attempt was made to close the break and 1t is prob able that the water vii run until there Is a sufficient fall in the river to warrant further exertions.
 Little confidence is felt as to the prac- disability of using sheet piling to retoin the cribbing because the river is cutting out a deep channel and work of this character is dificult. If the wings last. however, there Is no fear that the ere vase in the levee will enlarge. It Is variously estimated that between siOo. 900 and $20OO00 has been sunk in the work at Hymelia The Texas Pacific will be forced to use the Southern Pacific rails for It's through traffic until the water re- cedes.
 Arrangements are again being made for back ievees to keep the water out of the towns on the west bank of the river. Algiers and Gretna. The river here to- day dropped to 1s.s. a fall of two-tenths. or four4tenths lower than the maximum this year The decline Is thought to be in part due to the reopening of Eymelia. It is generally believed that so far as New orleans and vicinity are concerned, the worst of the flood situation is over.

Amsterdam, April lo.-lrhe workmen'a defense commAtfee decided today to pr x claim . cessatinu Of the general strike at midday, Ths strike vas never really efkective.i
 The worlxSnen's defense committee has issued a.manifssfs nxplaaning that coI>- tinuance of the strike would ouit &1~ pose the strikers to the vigorous penal ties of the new anti-striike bili which has almost become law. The committse has therefore. decided to leave their trade union free to act as 1t thinks best. Tho calling off the strike has resulted in tla holding of angry mass meetings of striH~ CTS. The anarchists and socialists are busy exploiting the situation. urging tho men to ignore the committee and to con- tinue the strike. The men are inclined to follow this course, finding themselves conA fronted by dismissal and too deeply ccna- mitted to withdraw. Some rioting occurs red at the gas works tonight. the polica charging Q mob of strikers who were in< timidating the non-strikers.

 the Negro went Down
 In Defeat.

New York. April io.-(speciai. .)-There Is much comment and some newspaper discussion of the significant part taken by Robert C.. Ogden in the discussion last night at the Union League Club in this city.
 Hon. Warner Miller and John s. Wise of Virginia were Instrumental in having a series of resolutions introduced calling on Congress to restrict the representa- ton of the Southern States. endorsing the policy of President Roosevelt and protest ing against the sufferage provision of tho South
 Robert c. Ogden led the opposition to the resolutions and after earnest and protracted debate he succeeded in defeat ing them.
 Hon. Cornelius N. Bliss. Secretary of the Interior under President Mckinley. presided at the meeting.
 Mir. Ogden was supported in the tis- cussion by Mfr. whitlock of Baltimore and Clarence W. Bowen of New York. Mir. Ogden stated that he had been a fife long Republican. having voted for the Republican candidates from Abraham Lincoin on down. He saad that he fully and emphatically accepted the federal constitution in all its parts, but the pas- sage of the resolutions criticixing the South would be interpreted as an .act of .Northern interference" would work in- fury to the negro and might disturb the peace of the South and of the country at large.
 Mir. Ogden's cogent and impassioned defense of the best forces of the South had called forth vtry general approval and appreciation in this city.

 B. wed Necessary Protocols Will Be Quickly Negotiated! Bainbridge of Iowa Selected to Act as Commissioner for the United
 States to Adjudieate

Washington, April 10.-News was re- ceived today from Venezuela to the eff. feet that President Castro would remain nrm and sustain Herbert W. Bowen, Ven ezueias pienipotentiary. in the attitude he mas taken respecting the settlement of the claims against Venezuela and in fla vor Of referring the question of, prefer ential treatment of the blockading pow CTS to The Hague for determination.
 The same statement contained the in- formation that no overtures have been made to- President Castro directly by the representatives of the allied governments for settling the controversy. But over lures with this object in view have been made to the Government by some syndi- cates.
 MT. Bowen has opposed bitterly any settlement through financial syndicates, and President Castro has sustained him. It Is believed by Mir. Bowen that now this matter is settled, the protocols re- maining to be- agreed on prior to a refer ence to The Hague will be concluded be- fore long.
 News also was received here today that Senor Pulido. the Venezuelan Charge d'Affaires at Washington, who was sent to Venezuela by MT. Bowen with letter to President Castro to block the proposals of the financial syndicates, is to return to Washington.
 As the time approaches in which. ac- cording to the terms of the protocols. the members of the mixed commission to sit at Caracas to adjudicate the claims of the various nations against Venezuela must be appointed, considerable interest attaches to the personnel of these bodies. Mir. Bainbridge of Iowa, it is under stood, already has been selected to act ss q commissioner for the United States and the names of Frank Partridge of Yer mont and Robert c. Morris of New York have been mentioned in connection with other places, which the. President will have at his disposal aay. ysss sas
