To Dissolve parliament2

Manchester, Eng, March S.-The
Dispatch prints a statement " hich says:
"1here is very good authority for saying
that Premier Balfour is determined to
dissolve parliament almost Immediately.
He has been induced to take this step
by the complexities OF the present sitaa-
tion." There is no corroboration Of
tais report except the general feeling
that Premier Balfour has been made
sick by worries of his Office, the Irish
troubles aud resignation of George
Wyndham, the Chief Secretary for Ire
land, and that the continued antagonisn
of the Ulster unionists to Sir Antony
MacDonnelI has badly shaken the
cabinet. Mr.. Balfour is finding the
greatest difficulty in securing any one to
take the eart-breakiDg task of filling the
position of Irish secretary.

Carnival day opened in New Orleans
Yesterday with the skies overcast, and
rain threatened, but before the parade
started the sun came out and The pleas
ure of the vast crowds on the streets was
uninterrupted. The pageant Of Rex on
st. Charles avenue was four hours in
traversing its route. His majesty chose
for his subject, '1dealistic Queens, " and
treated it in twenty highly decorated cars.
Miss May Parkerssn, the queen of Pro-
teus, and her maids, and The queens Of
Rex and Comus, with their mazda, wit
messed the display from the Boston and
Pickwick clubs, at which Rex stopped
momentarily to pay bis respects. The
king of the carnival was inpersonated
by David Hennen Morris, of New York
and New Orleans.
The carnival eliminated with a bril-
liant display of Comus last night, and
the Mystic Krewe in the evening delved
deeply into classic lore, telling in a
series of twenty gorgeous floats the story
of the search Of the lost pleiad. AT
the conclusion of the parade Comus
entertained at a ball at the French
Opera House, which attracted society
leaders from all sections Of the country.
A popular reception was given by Rex
at Washington Artillery Hall, which
for the occasion was converted into an

Destructive Fire.

The plant of the American Cereal
Company, at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the
largest of its kind in the world, compris-
ing two entire blocks OF brick and iron
structures, was destroyed by fire last
night with the exception of small
group of cooper shops, storage, and pack
ing rooms. The loss is estimated at
81, 500, 900, with insurance estimated at
nearly $1,000,000. Two persons are
known to have lost their lives in the tre.
II is feared several others lost their lives.
A man who was seen at window fell
back into the flames.
The fire started in the hpll grinding
room Of one of the elevators, and sheet
of fame enveloped that structure. Ia
ten minutes more the flames had crossed
the avenue to the mill group Of build
ings, and the fremen we're powerless to

ward against the wind slowly in the
milling group and southward with the
wind in the elevator group with fearful
rapidity. Fiye-story brick walls crum-
bled and fell with a roar heard for many
blocks.
Clouds of embers were driven by
strong wind over an area six blocks
square, and large number of men with
small hose and buckets were drenching
the roofs of the buildings, while in the
vicinity Of the fire there was an exodus
of families from dozens of houses.
The cereal mill employed in the neigh
borhood of 800 men, and the loss will
be a serious blow to the city.

of the northeast corner of Madison
Square Garden last night, shortly be.

JrpGE REAGAN, of Texas, who died
Wednesday, was credited with having
held Office nuder four national govern
mepts-the Republic of Texas, the
limited states, the Conlederacy and
again the United States. As heretofore
stated he was the Confederate Postmaster
General and the last survivor OF the
Confederate Cabinet. The principal
feature of his SIX terms in the House OF
Representatives was his persistent fight
for a law regulating railroads. When
Congress acted, however, it passed Sena'
,or Cnllom's interstate commerce bill.
Judge Reagan spent four years in the
Senate and for fourteen years had served
on the railroad commission of his State.

Gov. Montague and the President.
A dispatch from Winchester says
According to an intimate friend oil
Governor Montague who attended the
Inauguration with the governor Presi'
dent Roosevelt intends to consult the
governor and other representa- ie
Southerners, irrespective of party af-
flations, regarding federal appoint
ments in the South. II has just leaked
out that President Roosevelt told Cover
nor Montague at the inaugural ball
that he (RoosevelD was no meddler and
that be was determinedto give the South
its share OF the patronage.
A dispatch from Washington says :
"Mr. RoesevelPs reported remark to
Governor Montague is considered as
confirming tie change in Mr.. Roose-
vslt's attitude toward the South. Since
the recent election, in which every
section except the South gave the Presi-
dent its Endorsement, he seems to have
made special efforts to win over the
Southern people. His appointment of
i. E. B. Stuart as collector Of internal
revenue for the Eastern district of Vir-
ginia, and of Gen. T. l.. ROsser as post.
master at Charlottesville, as well as the
naming of the the grandson of Stonewall
Jackson as a cadet at West Point, are
taken as indications of his changed
attitude. The generous representation
Of the Southern States at his inaugu-
ratien is probably another thing that
has pleased Mr.. Roosevelt. Many
observers believes that Mr.. Roosevelt
appointed a negro as internal revenue
collector for New York in order to show,
the Southern people that be is at least
consistent on the negro question, no
matter how much he may differ from
them.
