The Atchafalaya.

Representatives Broussard re-
Gently introduced bill in con
gress creating a board of eDgi-
neers to consider the abvisability
of divorcing the Mississippi river
from the Red and Atchafalaya
rivers.
In the dispatches this week, re
porting river conditions, it is indi-
Gated that we may expect the
"Father of Waters" to be taxed
to its limit by the coming floods.
1t is in such periods that the
Mississippi has made its many
changes Of channel, showing a dis
position in nearly all cases to
shorten its course to the Gulf. 1t
has repeatedly been pointed out
that should this great river once
find the favorable opportunity OF
breaking through the apparently
slight barriers at the mouth of
the Red-or Old River-the
changed conditions that would
swiftly follow would be serious
and extensive in effect.
From the mouth of the Red to
New Orleans IS some 200 miles
and the Mississippi has to contin
ue some 100 miles more to reach
the sea. From the mouth Of the
Red, through the Atchafalaya and
lakes, to the Gulf is about 200
miles. This latter route would
shorten the course of the Mississ-
ippi by fully 100 miles-a great in.
centive IN itself for the river to
make the change. The only ap
parent reasons why the great riv.
er has not gone this way before is
the bar at the mouth of the Red;
the usual flooding of the Red
simultaneously with the Mississ
ippi, thereby the waters of the
former checking any disposition of
the waters of the latter entering
the Atchatalaya channel; and
the want of sufficient channel IN
4 the Atchafalays.
This last named feature is prom
Using to be no barrier at no re
mote date The Atchafalayer
has been broadening and deepen.
ing itself for years, as though IT
was growing for this very work
of taking care Of the Mississippi.
Mr.. Broussard's steps in this
matter are both timely and high
ly cOmmendable and We trust that
Congress will, at DO remote date
see the wisdom Of acting for the
preservation of the Miss ssippi in
its present channel.
In this issue We reprint q 1a:ircu
lar on this subject, which was is
sued some months ago by Capt
E I. King, who has made a care
full study of the tendencies of the
rivers for years. o 1t contains
much valuable information.

piles Of white material close to
the Adeline central sugar factory.
These heaps are bagasse, which,
to the amount of 1000 tons, as
weighed on coming from the AIDE
line mill, was saved for and sold
to the Southern Fiber Co., which
company is now erecting a card
board factory on the Southside
plantation, in Jefferson parish, for
the manufacture of card board

CURIOUS LEGAL POINT.
Shall Cremated Corpse Pay Same
Rate for Carriage as Body
in Coffinp

Paris.-A curious case now before
French tribunal invokes a point
which has not yet come up for legal
settlement. A certain New York doc
tor, whose name thus far is withheld
recently accompanied wealthy west
ern American to Italy, where his pa
tient after lingering illness died.
In order to avoid the trouble and
formalities of carrying the body to the
United States in a coffin the doctor on
his own authority had the corpse ere
mated. The ashes were placed in a
small urn, which was then packed
carefully and shipped as ordinary
freight on which he paid the usual tar
iff according to weight.
The doctor landed on the American
side all right, but the steamship COM
pany discovered his secret and de-
manded the price of carrying a dead
body in coffin, which amounts to
nearly $3.50 more than the doctor paid
for the urn's transportation. This he
refused and the case must be decided
at Paris, since it was at French port
that the urn was shipped. The impress
sion here is that the company will lose
the case.

TO DUPLICATE EVERY GUN.
sary by the Naval General
Board.

Washington.-Ever gun in the navy
will have its duplicate to guard against
any emergency and accident, if the
recommendation of the naval chief OF
ordnance is carried out.
The naval general board, it is be-
lieved, thoroughly approves of it, and
consequently the naval estimates to go
before the next congress may contain
a formidable item to cover the cost of
producing the new guns.
Such accidents as have happened in
recent years, particularly to the big tur-
ret guns of the battleships, would COM
pei the ship to go into action in disabled
condition or be laid up for months in
a navy yard. The idea is to keep spare
guns in stock at convenient points to
Immediately replace the damaged ones.

BERLIN, Oct. 19.-The German for
eign office denies reports to the effect
that Baron Speck Won Sternburg will
not return 20 Washington as Germany's
ambassador on account OF the disease
which has affected h.s car.
The statement made at the foreign
offiee Is that he VIII shorty resume
his duties and will continue the negoia-
tions affecting the commercial relations
of Germany and the United States.
Disease No Worse.
His disease Is no worse. There Is no
prospect of his quitting the post which
he has filed with great success
When Baron Won Sternburg goes to
Washington. he VIII carry full instruc-
tons from the Kaiser as to Germany's
desires in the matter OF a new CONNER
cial treaty and will be fully informed
as 20 what concessions in the matter
or tariff Germany is willing 10 make.
Sails Tuesday.
He was in conference with the Kaiser
for several hours yesterday and is to
see him again on Friday. He will leave
Berlin for America on Tuesday.
There is good authority for the state
ment that the matter Of commercial
treaty was by no means the only topic
discussed between Won Sternburg and
the Kaiser. His majesty Is extremely
anxious Tor the development OF more
friendly feeling toward Germany. on
the part OF the American people.
Kaiser Anxious.
