 Professor Hasse is not satisfied with material satisfaction. He wants a spe- cial act of expiation. l should like to know what the Professor had in nina. Does he wish President Castro to send an expiatory prince7 admit got enough with the Chinese expiatory prince.'
 Loud laughter followed the Chancellor's last remark.
 Continuing, the Chancellor rejected Lord Rosebery's statement in the Brit ish House of Lords that Germany got two-fold more from Venezuela than Eng land got. He added:
 Roseberry is Wrong.
 Lord Roseberys calculation was math- ematicaIly and politically incorrect. The advantages have been pretty equally dis tributed generally, and in the Venezue- Ian affair in particular. According to my opinion we got all out of Venezuela that circumstances permitted"
 Professor Hasse and Herr Certel made sharp attacks on our representative al Washington" continued the Chancellor 'T had already caused denial to be printed in the North German Gazette that Baron von Sternberg used the language attributed to him, especially that he dic not say Prince Bismarck's policy was antiouated The journalists misunder' stood Baron von Sternberg as he explain. ed in his report to the Foreign Office. must judge the member not to attack the German at so important a post al Washington for matters which later prove untrue.
 Professor Hasse also mentioned thai Baron von Sternberg married an Ameri' can lady. Petitions of our ministers te marry foreigners have been treated dif' ferently at different times, which Is only natural. Such cases cannot be all de- cided by the same formula. The. prin' ciple has been held, especially under Count won Caprivi, that a German diplo matist must only marry German wo man. Prince Bismarck emphasized tns same principle. but he permitted numer' ous exceptions"

When he arose to speak he was greeted with the University yell
 He went into all the details of the In- dianola affair and when he concluded asked his hearers whether it would not have been better for the President to have kept the office open and punished tn few hot-heads that caused the trouble than to have punished the entire com munity by closing the office. When he concluded he asked those who believed the office should have been kept open to raise their hands. Only a few put up their hands.
 In the main his address was much like other recent utterances of his on the same subject. He condemned the negro to eternal inferiority to the white man.

Arkansas City, Ark.

New Orleans, March 19.-A special to The Picayune from Arkansas City, Ark, says:
 Your correspondent returned from Med ford and Red Fork. on the Arkansas River, where he went as the guest of As sistant Government Engineer T. S.. Shields, on board of the Government steamer Vidott, whose mission was to carry 10000 sacks to be used by the Red Fork levee board in holding intact the Arkansas River levee from Pendleton south. The Red Fork levee board is composed of Major A. Wynne, Robert Peage and NJ. F. Quilting. with Norman Moore as secretary, who, with the good citizens along the line, have made a no- ble fight and now have the situation well in hand. These levees along their line are in very good condition, and with a falling river will give them but very little more trouble unless heavy rain- fall should occur along the upper Ar kansas during the next few days. The planters say they each had over 100 bales of cotton yet in the fields un- picked, and they expect to have hands picking cotton in one part of the fields this spring while seed was being planted in another. The Arkansas River had shown a fall of over two-tenths at Med ford and Is on a stand at Red Fork. The condition along the Mississippi River levees in this district has not been materially changed. very thing if reported as being in good shape. but lit tie seepage water seemed to be coming through from the extreme high stage oi water. The line of levees is being pa. trolled by a well-organized guard. The Government gauge at this point regis | ters 51 20, showing a rise of .04 during the past twenty-four hours. We vii get our highest stage at Arkansas City about Saturday or Sunday. which will reach 52 feet or a fraction over. This can be held without any trouble with fa- vcrabIe weather.

Washington, March ls.-The Weather Bureau this morning gave out the follow ing river bulletin:
 The stage of water this morning at Memphis is forty feet, a rise since We'd nesday of 4 feet. This rise was prob ably due to overflow water from the Arkansas side as the Mississippi has Tall en above Memphis. While further shsh' rise Is possible the decline may begin al any time. It Is impossible to estimate inc amount of water yet to come from the west side.
 The condition continues critical below MemDhis and previous warnings are re heated. as more rain Is expected tonight and Friday. Every precaution should oe taken and preparations continue fol stages in excess of those of 1897.
