GLAD < RACE PREJUDICE
Thanks God of Its Existence
 in the Nation.
Says No Negro Has Been Shot Down in the South Because He Wanted Work, as Was the Case
 in Illinois. ..

Washington, March 1s-(Special.)-Sen- what is regarded as one of the boldest and most striking deliverances on the race question ever heard in the Senate. The Indianola case. he said, was for him a "curtain-raiser.'' The Senator prefaced what he said by the observa- satisfied with the masterly manner with which my colleague (Mr. McLaurin) dis cussed this question, and also to acknowl- edge with gratitude the efforts, able and earnest, which the Senators from South Carolina CTillman) and Tennessee Car mack) gave to this discussion
 MT. Money went into the history and law applicable to the IndianolA case, and boldly declared the incompetency of the black race to participate in the duties and obligations of self-government with the white race.
 Discussion of the race question, pure and simple, was precipitated sooner than 1t would otherwise have been by the ea- gerness with which Senator Foraker sought to entrap the Senator into disad- vantageous admissions Mir. Money boldly met the questioning. He declared the unwillingness of the people of the South for any negro to hold a Federal office, no matter how competent he might be. Every negro in the country over 2l years might have graduated from the finest university in Europe. or America, and would still be unfit to discharge the duties of citizenship under the institu- tions of this country, because this was GfahliShad a white mans for the white man. conquered from the Indians, not for the African, but for the white man.
 MT. Money answered questions by For aker to the effect that individually he was always against allowing negro sol- diers in the American army. He declared with emphasis that the President of the [ nited States had raised the question of social equality. philosopher had said that when the legal bar was lowered the social bar was raised between people living under the same government.
 'If there is anything on earth that God, hope" said the Senator, will protect this country from, it is the idea that there shall be, or ought to be, or ever possibly can be, social equality between the two races"
 Senator Moneys speech elicited the complete sympathy and admiration of Southern Senators.
 Senator Bailey said: '"The bluntness of the speech may incur criticism, but 1t reflected. I believe, the sentiments of Southern people. I always believed that we should tell the truth to the world that it Is a race question with us that causes us to object to negro office hold CTS"
 Senator Carmack said: There are not many men who can handle a question of this kind as admirably as Money, and the speech was one of his best It was strong. thoughtful and philosophical.

No Apprehension Felt So Far as City
 Is Concerned.
 New Orleans. March 1S.-The river at this point continues stationary, although a sixteen miles wind blowing the wrong way banked up thr~s-tenths more at one time. AS the river is not going down and as the Memphis rise is on the way, the weather bureau has gooG grounds for adhering to it's prediction of A feet. The highest previous record was in 1897 and was 19.5. As to the city, there is no alarm, because the already high banks have been reinforced and the line is kept in good shape. So far travel in and out of the city is uninterrupted.
 The location of the La Fourche crevas- ses was fortunate for the Southern Pa ciic and there will likely be no more in that vicinity. The Texas and Pacific was equally lucky, the Bougere crevasse af- fecting a part of the new St. Louis line not yet in operation. The blocking off of the Mississippi Valley near Memphis works little hardship the Arlington levee near Baton Rouge being more import ant.
 As the new levee there had not even been built when high water came. disas- ter seemed certain, but the place is not only being held, but in few days will be secure. The crevasse fifty miles below the city, while affecting small terri tory because of proximity to the gulf. is likely to prove very costly, as it will damage vast oyster fields. Tonight closes with little change in the situation and hope as bright as ever.

The hearing of the case in St- Louis is merely for the personal convent ence of those concerned
 The Four Judges.

THE DAYS SESSION.
MT. Money Speaks Two Hours on
 Indianola Case.

Washington, March 18.-The race dues- ton again was discussed in the Senate today. Mir. Money spoke for two hours. his remarks having direct reference to the action of the President in closing the Indianola (Miss) postofice. Mir. Money explained at Ehe outset of his remarks that If he could secure unanimous con- sent for leave to print, he would not take up the time of the Senate. The senti- ment of the Senate seemed to he that remarks not delivered should not be spread in the Record. He thereupon pro- ceeded and delivered himself of some se- we're strictures of the President. saying that MT. Roosevelt was not the President of America, but the President of the Black Belt.' At times he was closely in- terrogated by Messrs. Foraker and Spooner.
 In accordance with his notice previously given. Senator Money began to speak on the Indianola postoffice affair as soon as the Senate convened at Il o'clock today.
 It was the inherent and constitutional right of a great community, said MT. Money, to have its mail handled regu- larly. Letters. he said. which have been addressed to important county officers re- siding at Indianola have been sent to Greenville. and this. he declared, was an unwarrantable interference with the liberty and rights of the people of h. cianola.
 Sufficiently Punished.
 If'it was intended to punish the people of Indianola, in his opinion. the punish ment had gone far enough. The depart ment had shown to the world its author ity. and nobody had disputed 1t. He de- clared that the Postmaster General should do all he could to heal the breach and not continue stubborn and vindictive
 "The department has made the people hate the administration" said he.
 Directing his remarks to President Roosevelt, he said that in the South it was believed that Mir. Roosevelt when he succeeded MT. Mckinley would make an American instead of a sectional Presi- dent. but a change had come over this dream.
 He is not so much an American Presl- dent" said MT. Mooney. "as he is the President of the black belt" and he ad- ded with some feeling: ''Wo do not con- slider him a great American President"
 He declared that of all the appoint ments made in Mississippi. none has given such general disgust as those made by this administration, and he said the President had raised the question of social equality between the two races.
 There is a race prejudice in the South" |" he said, and I thank God that there is."
 The prejudice against the negro, he as- serted. is not local. but Is prompted by a universal sentiment.
 Answering Mir. Foraker, be said thaA

ALARM AT vICKSBURG.
Fear That a Break Would Occur at
 Duvalls Landing.

Duvall's Landing.
 Vicksburg. Miss, March 1S.-Alarming reports ss to the imminence of a crevasse at Duvalrs Landing in Issaquena County caused considerable excitement here to- day as a break there would mean the flooding of the richest section of the Va zoo- Mississippi delta. These fears were not allayed until afternoon when the government steamer Arthur Hider with Captain Arthur Hider, United States En- gineer, aboard arrived in part from above.
 Captain Hider reports that the fears for the Duvall levee are unfounded as the embankment there Is intact and shows no signs of weakness. Even if the outer levee did give way there is an inner line of greater strength.
 Telephone messages tonight from points along che Louisiana shore report that everything Is intact and standing the strain splendidly.
 Along the river front in this city a rather serious condition of affairs exists as many warehouses and a number of residences are flooded with the water steadily climbing higher and merchants are removing goods to places of safety cotton are being carted to the hills as the river has invaded the compress yard. The waterworks plant is also threatened and 1t Is feared that a shut down will be enforced.

HossEY SAYS NOT GUILTY.
Declares Authorities Can Prove
 Nothing Against Him.

-
 Philadelphia, Pa. March 18-From his cell in the central police station, George Hossey, who Is accused of conspiring to poison William Dang has given out a declaration of innocence. This says:
 What has come about my killing or poisoning people is untrue in every re- spect and I want to contradict 1t. un- derstand they are trying to get evidence against me, but they cannot do 1t, be- cause did not do It."
 Eleven druggists have been examined in the district attorneys office. None of the party nor any one connected with the district attorneys office will discuss the matter.
 Declaration by Frederick Shoyer, assist ant district attorney that detectives have found where Mir. and Mrs. Williams ob- tnaied arsenic is thought to have some relation to the Hossey> case. It Is now known that the search for evidence in the Williams child murder case unearthed Hossey.
 Some of the authorities apparently see some significance in the connection of a company of spirftualists with both MT. and Mrs. williams and Dang.

At Helena, Ark.

Helena. Ark, March 1S.-The flood situ- ation here is still of the gloomiest char acter. The river has risen six-tenths in the past "A hours and now stands at 4S.7. A large force of workmen have been en- gagged in trying 10 repair the North Helena levee, but a small break occur red there today before noon. The break was eight feet wide when discovered, but was kept from growing larger and was soon stopped with sacks of dirt and pill ings of lumber though the water Is still going through into the already flooded dis trict in dozens of places. There is very little hope of holding this small levee unless the rise by tomorrow night is suf- ficient to send the water over the top of the levee and fill up the entire valley protected. North Helena is separate and distinct from the city proper, which is in absolutely no danger from the flood, be- ing protected thoroughly by the Walker Street levee The residents of the over flowed section are largely negroes, though there are many white families owning homes now under water. The most disturbing feature of the situation today was the receipt of telegrams this after noon by the three resident directors of the St. Francis Levee Board from Presi- dent O. N. Killough, stating that the en- tire St. Francis levee system was in a critical condition. but that he hoped 10 be able to hold them without another break If the wind and water conditions were favorable.
