Indian Territory with Senator Stewart,
chairman OF the committee. gives out tho
following: THE negroes in the Creek
nation arc selling their lands fora song
and spending the money rapinly. They

their lands at ridiculous figure. There
are only l.O00,000 acres in the nation and
we found one white man in control of

that it took him nine months to get the
land und that it would take congress nine
years to get it away from him."

Indinna Floods sRbstdfng.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April D. While the flood situation throughout southwestern Indiana has considerably improved the heavy rains have almost duplicated the flood stages of last week throughout central Indiana. White river, near this city, has risen thirteen feet above the low water mark and is still rising. Manufacturing interests and many homes in the river district are menaced. At Portland only three or four business houses are above wa ter, and at Delphi the Wabash railroad is washed away in two places. The suburbs of Alexandria are threatened by the high water, and the inhabitants have abandoned their homes Rock vile is isolated. At Marion, Muncie and Newcastle the situation is almost as bad as last week.

IN WAR
THEY ARE AN IMPORTANT FEA- TURF IN PRESENT CONFLICT.
Russia Has the Most Powerful Vessels of This Glass In the World on Her Ice-Bound
 Waters.

The subject of ice breaking steamers is of very great interest at the present moment. While Port Arthur Is always an open harbor, at Vladivostok the Ice may attain a thickness of 36 inches. At this latter port there is usually stationed an ice breaker, the Nadeshny, which keeps 8 channel open so that Russian warships can pass in and out Again, in the Baltic, thanks to the Ermack and other ice breakers, there is no difficulty in putting to sea for the Russian fleet, which usually winters at Cronstadt.
 On Lake Baikal are two ice breakers the Baikal, the largest ice breaking railway ferry steamer in the world, car ryfng locomotives and trains; and the Angara, which conveys passengers only. If the ice Is too thick for these vessels, the crossing has to be made by means of sledges.
 Lake Baikal lies northeast to south
 west, and all round the southwest cor ner of the lake the Tartar mountains impinge on the lake itself; and to make this railway round the corner of the lake meant some 500 tunnels and bridges, more or less; and as the valleys are very steep, and work can only be car ried on during the open months, the engineering difficulties are apparent. Also. landing from the lake is out of the question, as the debris from the mountains and valleys prevents this, and, as very strong gales blow without warning on this stretch of water (prin- cipally from the northeasD the lake | heinz ROO miles I0np and nearly 000 feet deep-dangerous seas get up, mak- ing it impossible for vessels to lie at the southwest corner. i. Until lately, all crossing Lake Baikal in winter was by sledges over the ice, and, as severe blizzards and fogs are common, it sometimes happened that an unfortunate traveller, driver, horses and 1 sledge would go down one of these cracks. The distance of the ferry across the lake is 52 miles. The ferry vessel is 290 feet long, and 4,200 tons displace- ment, and her draught, under ordinary

BACHELORS CLEVER RUsE.
By Which He Kept the Good Opinion of His Landlady and Played
 Poker. t.

James was confirmed old bachelor had been for long time-and will prob i ably remain single all his days. A gay boy always, 3 polished gentleman of the old school. often seen at dances and receptions. and yet he never mar ried. Folks thought he was stony hearted, and yet he was not devoid of ] sentiment, relates the Philadelphia Tel { egraph.
 For 25 years he roomed in the same l house, and he had that reverence for his landlady that doting son has for l his mother. He fairly worshiped the ! old lady, and any man who said any, thing about her that was not compli- mentary might as we'll get ready to | fight if James was within hearing.
 James was an inveterate poker player, and that means staying out late at night. And yet the old bachelor wouldn't have his revered 1andlady know this for anything. For years it had been his trial, his study, to make her believe that he kept good hours, and how he had to scheme to keep her in ignorance of his true life.
 Many a time he reached his bedroom at daylight, too Hate to lie down, and how he. would toss up his bed to make his landlady think that he had spent the night at home. And she, the dear old soul, thought he was a model man, and she often spoke of his good be- havior and advised young men to fol- low in his footsteps. And yet the bach elor continued in his deception, as his greatest ambition was to stand high in the opinion of his landlady.
 One night James became involved in 8 poker game, and so absorbed was he that he never thought of the time un- til it was eight o'clock in the morning. Here was pretty predicament. He was due at his place of business. and would be unable to go to his room.
 What did he do but engage a mes senger. who, upon receiving certain in- structions, repaired with great haste to the apartment of James, and. after tossing up the bed departed quietly without even being seen or heard.

working conditions, is about IS feet. She has three sets of triple-expansio engines one at the bow and two screws at the stern. The principle of subdivi- sion is carried out in the highest de- gree, and a large number of compart- ments would have to be pierced before she would sink The vessel has luXur- ious accommodation, and promenade deck for the use of passengers, while they are making the passage across. During the winters that this enormous steamer has been at work, she has proved herself to be most successful in keeping the service open under dif1- culties of ice navigation that were un- known, and therefore even unthought of, during her construction.
 The vessel has three lines of rails, en- tered from the forward end; the center track is very strong, to carry the loco- motives. which on this railway weigh, loaded with tender, from 94 to 104 tons. Her consort, the Angara, is fine ice breaker, Having one screw of 1,50Oi. h. D. triple-expansio engines and loco-bo1l- CTS. These boilers were adopted so as to get over the difficulty of tranship- ment from St. Petersburg to Lake Baf- kal. She is a most successful ice break CT, making her passages with the utmost regularity with mails and passengers.
 The strongest ice breaker in the world is the Ermack, designed by Ad- miral Makaroff, now commanding the Russian fleet in the Pacific. This mag nificent piece of naval architecture is 335 feet long, n feet beam, and has a displacement (with coals on board) of 5000 tons on draught of 22 feet
 Her bow engine, though successful in one-year-old ice, has been removed, as the shape at the bow to admit the pro- Deller was not suited to the requirements of the polar ice. Her speed through A Inches of solid ice, with to12 inches of snow on the top of it, is nine knots an hour, and she can charge and demol- ish packs of ice 20 to 5 feet in thick ness. IT polar ice the speed has to be kept at about two and a half to three and half knots an hour, as one is apt to lose control of the vessel in this enormous ice, and the local shocks be- come very severe when she is charging about at her own "sweet will' amors, the palaeocrystic ices. She has proved herself to be of enormous use on hes station on the Baltic coast of Russia, where she can conquer any ice, and can safely bring out of danger all steamers that she goes to assist. In one shogs season she rescued and assisted the shipping of over s10,000,000valu

Half the City Under water.

FINDLAY, O., April 2.The most destructive flood in the history of Han cock county is sweeping down the Blanchard river and overrunning it's banks for over mile. The high wa ter mark has been reached, and the water is still rising. Main street for nearly a mile is running stream. Nearly half the city is covered with water, and hundreds of families are homeless. The courthouse is partial ly surrounded, the water covering the sidewalks. The rural districts are suf- fering great loss. A large number of cattle has been swept away and many farmers compelled to leave their homes. Thousands of dollars worth of merchandise in the flooded base ments on Main and adjoining streets has been destroyed.

s. J. Haydon, a Suicide, Fell
 Twenty-one Stories.
EVERY BONE IN HIS BODY BROKEN
CaInnly Climbing Out of Window, He Pushed Himself om Seven Inch Ledge-NO Cause Assigned For
 Self Destruction.

NEW YORK, April 2.-Calmly climb ing out of window on the top floor of the twenty one story skyscraper which has entrances at 42 Broadway, Sydney Johnson Haydon, about forty five years old, who lived at the Hotel Bailey, late yesterday afternoon pushed himself out from his seat on the ledge on the New street front and leaped into space. His body struck the sidewalk 25o feet below. Every bone was broken.
 It was shortly after o'clock when Haydon took the terrible plunge, and in the street there were a number of persons passing to and fro. The body struck just beside little newsboy, who, like others who witnessed the desperate act, stood rooted with horror The little fellow recovered first, how ever, and ran to Policeman Gray of the Old Slip station, who called an ambu- lance.
 Haydon, dressed as a prosperous business man, entered the building from Broadway about 4 o'clock and went direct to the elevator. He asked directions of none and went at once to the top floor. Although the offices are unoccupied, the elevator man thought that the man he had just taken up was prospective tenant come to look at his office.
 Despite the fact that Haydon was so far above the street several persons in the street saw him climb through a window on the New street side. With some difficulty apparently, for he was heavy man, he drew his body up and his feet after him as he sat on the ledge, which is about seven inches wide.
 An umbrella which he had carried he left on the window ledge and then, with his hands behind him, pushed himself from his dizzying seat. As he began to fall his head dropped back ward, and in it's swift descent the body turned several times.
 When Dr. Gould arrived from the Hudson Street hospital be found the body terribly mangled. He said he be- lieved that every bone in the body had 1 been broken and that it was possible that Haydon was dead before he struck the concrete paving. The body was carried Into the building until it was TeulOV0u tO LAc pOllce Skdl4OA None knew who the suicide was until a search of his clothing brought to light card bearing his name and a Washington square address. No cause is given for the self de struction.
 Haydon was apparently sane. but was probably Respondent over i'll for tune in stock speculation.
