SPOONER HAS THE JOB
WILL ATTEMPT TO ANSWEF
 SENATOR MORGAN.
In Secret Session the Alabamian At tacks Attorney General Knox's Opinion as to Validity
 of Title.

Washington, March 13.-(Special.) )-One of Senator Morgan's series of pamphlets OF the Panama Canal which embody for public reading very much of what he has to say in the executive sessions of the Senate the Senator having adopted, 1t is believed that methods of saving his views from innocuous oblivion, related to At torrey- General Knox and the law of the case.
 Today in the secret session. the Senator devoted himself to discussion of that text and attacked with characteristic vigor MT. Knox's opinion as to the valid ity of the title to the Panama canal property, especially in the failure of the opinion to deal with the Jurisdiction of the French courts which have passed upon the canal company's title. He also attacked President Bo of the French company and his attorney, William Nell son Cromwell of American counsel for their conduct, which finally ended in the overthrow of the Nicaraguan canal prof ect. They had been insolent and pie- sumptuous, the Senator declared in press- ing their claims.
 Senator Spooner will be put forward Tuesday to close the argument for the treaty, when general debate will be had before the vote on that day. Spooner is to try himself on making a complete an- swer to Senate Morgan.

SLEW SIX PASSENGERS
BANDTTs HOLD UP STAGE IN ARIZONA.
Wealthy Mexican Was Aboard and t the Highwaymsn Thought He Carried Large Sum
 of Money.

Los Angeles. Cal. March ls.-A special from Tncsln, Ariz.. says:
 Mexican bandits held up the stage which runs from Potam to Toran on the Yaqui River in Sonora last Tuesday night, killing all of the six passengers. includ- ing three women.
 Among them was Filberto Alvaredo. a wealthy Mexican who owns a number of Mexican ranches along the Yaqui River.
 The authorities at Guayamas were at once notified. Alvaredo and his wife had taken the stage from Pottam to Toran and the bandits thought he carried a large sum of money with him. The hold up took place about half way between the two towns, but just how the stage was attacked probably never will be known. as all the passengers and the driver were killed.
 They were picked up the afternoon of the tragedy and the circumstances give evidence that they put up fight.

OFFICIALS KEEP UP NERVE
Evident, However, That They
 Fear the Worst.
Many Plantations are Submerged and Industries are Threatened by the High Waters-Rail-
 roads Inconvenienced.

Vicksburg, Miss, March 13.-Gauge at D. m. reads 48.1, a rise of two-tenths since Il a. m. The flood situation in this section is steadily growing worse. It is greatly intensified by the continual heavy rains. While the engineers and of fcials of the levee boards are keeping up a brave front 1t is plain to be seen that they fear the worst.
 4assS P. Robertson, assistant engineer of the Fifth Louisiana District Levee Board, who has established headquarters here, received telephone message today from Commissioner Lansier from Lake Provi- dence saying that he had just returned from an inspection of the levees from Providence to the Arkansas line and found the embankments in fairly good shape. Colonel Hotter, United States En- gineer has placed the snagboat Colum- bia at the disposal of President McClel- lana of the Louisiana Board and that steamer will leave at daylight for Lake Providence with a full cargo of lumber and wheclbarrows. In later message Commissioner Lansier says: While the situation is serious we feel confident oi holding the entire line"
 A new short levee just north of Lake Providence is causing the most concern
 On the lower Yazoo several of the finest plantations in this (Warren0 county are submerged, including the Willis. Allen and Short places.
 Specials from Donaldson and Baton Rouge tell of intense excitement prevail ing at those points as the Arlington levee near the Louisiana capital Is feared to be in grave danger. Every able bodied man white and black Is being pressed into service and rushed to the danger point in special trains and steamboats'
 Tn vicksburg the tracks of the Yazoc and Mississippi Valley and the Alabama and Vicksburg Railroads are imperiiea by the rising waters. The water works plant the two congresses and several oil mills are in danger and rise Of one 1oo' more will force them to suspend.

VERDICT OF ACQUITTAL
JURY SIDES WITH NEWMAN
 AND LYMAN.
Wealthy Cotton Men of New Or leans Accused of Embedding from Their Customers-His-
 tory of the Case.

New Orleans, March 13.-The trial of Henry Newman and Harris Hyman for embezzlement ended tonight in acquittal.
 They were at one time perhaps tho wealthiest and most prominent cotton firm here, and are still doing a large business.
 A year ago Colonel Bucker, a leading cotton planter of North Louisiana, acci- dentally discovered that some cotton which he had consigned to the firm and which their return to him showed had been sold at IA cents a pound, had really brought 1-2 cents.
 He came to the city post haste and ask ed a settlement to cover all his dealings for years. The firm paid him $25, ,OOO and endeavored to keep the matter quiet. But 1t got out and not only were other claims made but the cotton exchange expelled them and then the grand jury indicted them.
 This was the trial of the first case and attracted great interest. besides giving employment to an array of lawyers. The defense was that the money was paid to avoid litigation. as the firm had a mill lion dollars outstanding among cotton planters, and not to cover any wrong doing. The firm also claimed that when cotton was sold in bulk at a uniform price it was averaged. the cotton worth more getting above the sale prices It held that some cotton sold with Buck ner's at 1-2 was paid for at the rate of 3-4. while Buckner's was worth only 1-4 and was so credited.
 The State held that the transactions were separate, the returns falsifed and offered similar transactions by the firm to nrove system and intent. The jury nromntlv acquitted the accused.

 The cable dispatch of Mir. Knox accept ing the offer of the company to sell the canal property is given. February ls President Bo sent cable to MT. Knox saying William M. Cromwell was charg- ed with transmitting the response Of the council of administration.

Natchez, Mis-, March 13.-It will be inn possible to secure further news from Ashland, where the levee is overtopped by the river before morning. The relief boat St. Joseph is there now picking up oOO head of stock.

have to be built and early in the summer the contract was let. The contractor went to work, but his work was delayed by bad weather so much that little work was done. When 1t seemed that the con- tractor would not get through in time to prevent danger from the spring floods, an extra force was put to work on the pro- lection levee behind the old one. The earth has been kept constantly wet and spongy and rains have interfered with the work, but if we succeed in holding the old levss twenty-four hours, or until tonight, the new levee will be stout enough to stand the rush of water that would be thrown up against 1t if the old embankment were to break.
 we expect with the convict force and the 10000 sacks sent there to have things in good shape by tonight. If the old levee holds out until then water will be pumped between the old and new ievees with syphons and when the rush comes from a possible break the force will not be so great"

FLOWING UP STREAM.
if Wind Changes Conditions Will
 Improve.

Improve.
 Nov OrIeans March 13.-Tonight's wsuga is 19.1. which is only 0.4 below the bighest watsr in 1897, and the weather hureau predicts that q feet will be reach cd in three days. It also predicts that weather conditions will remain unsettled. This is the gloomy side of the picture but the engineers are just as hopeful as lyer. The long line of levees Is In per- feet condition, and the weak spots have been strengthened until they are stronger than the rest of the chain. Men and ma Ierial are everywhere and even false alarms are promptly answered. Guards ars kept on duty day and night, not only to detect danger spots. but to stop any tampering through malice or fear There is little apprehension felt anywhere ana even if the record for height is broken all are confident that the banks on which Government, State and city have spent millions. will come triumphantly through the ordeal.
 A change of wind, which will permit the How into the gulf instead of backing up and preventing the river from emptying itself into the great outlet, is expected to work wonders in the way of relief. The wind and weather are both more favor able tonight.

DID NOT FORESEE G0RMAN
R0Osevelt'S Prestige as a POli-
 tical Seer is JOlted.
May Call House and Senate Into Special Session in October in Order to Get His Meas
 ures Through.

Washington. MaNch 13.-(SpeciaD- D-Presi- dent Rooseelt is pestered.
 Time and again he has threatened an extra session if Congress did not do to suit him, and his natura Intention to have 1t on hand to tell 1t what he wanted 1t to do has so far been so vigor- ously opposed by all theRepublican lead CTS that he has had his lessons in politics forced upon him.
 When the Fifty-seventh Congress end ed, he fondly hoped to have the Senate in brief special session promptly dispose of the business for which he had sum- moned it in his special message. He did not at all count upon the closing up of Democratic ranks and the bold and posi- tive front that would be presented by the minority Senators led by Mir. German.
 Panama and Cuba.
 Now he sees the Panama Canal treatyl. if ratified at all, determined to come out in a shape very different from what he would have had.
 He sees Cuban reciprocity long deferred. This of all others has been his pettest hobby.
 In the speeches he made last summer he vehemently asseverated that reciproc- ity had to come as soon as Congress met and when Congres met he plainly told it what it must do.
 Congress has never done his behest. Now he has again to fact the utter re- pugnance of all the leaders of his party to an extra session and again his political lesson is compulsory instruction.
 The President has been pestered all day and from report tonight his condition is unchanged.
 Away back wonder in the spring of 1900. the Cubans were assured by our powers that be that reciprocity was as good as settled since they had adopted the Platt amendment.
 History is playing havoc with MT. Roosevelt's prestige as prophet as well as a power in his party.
 But something must be done to get the treaty out of the way and yet not em- barrass the next regular session.
 So 1t is probable Congress will met in extraordinary session about October.

Proves That Washington Had Re-

 Hartford, Conn. March 13.-It was re- gently decided that what was left of the Washington Elm. so known because of the story that Washington stopped under it when he visited Captain Jeremiah Wadsworth on the occasion of the con- ference with Rochambeau. must come down and many persons went to get pieces of the elm. Superintendent of Streets Hausting, was asked about the story which gave the tree it's name: Why If that tree could speak it would prove it"
 A moment later he picked up a limb some four inches through and there at the cross section was a perfect profile of Washington like a miniature in sepia. It was made by the brown heart of the limb. officers of the Connecticut Historical So- ciety pronounce 1t a marvel. MT. Haust- ing will have it mounted and handed down to succeeding generations.

WORKMAN TELLS OF ACCIDENT.
Ensign on Trial Before Naval Court
 Martial.

Pensacola, Fla, March 13.-In the Court martial of Ensign Ward K. Wortman to- day the accused continued his testimony begun yesterday. He related to the court detailed account of the explosion on the battleship Massachusetts. So far the only point brought out against the ac- cused was the fact that he was not in the turret and supervising the loading of the piece nor was he cognizant of the fact that the gun had been primed for percussion firing instead of electrically, as ordered.
 Wortman was on the outside of the turret and did not notice that one of the gunners had primed and loaded the piece for percussion firing until the gunner stepped back. Then he ordered the man to change the electric firing and in at tempting to ease down the lock the gun ner allowed 1t to slip from his hand with the piece partly open and the powder be- came ignited. He had received orders to fire electrically.
 The foregoing is the substance of Wort mans testimony today.
