UCHLAND RECLAIMED
General Ernst Has Prepared General
Review Of What Has Been Done by
the Mississippi River Commission
Will be Used in Connection With Bill
Before the House.

Washington, April A general re-
view of what has been accomplished
'by the Mississippi river commission is
to be printed for use in connection with
the consideration Of the bill now on
the house calendar, which extends the
jurisdiction Of the commission fifty
miles north of Cairo. the present nor-
thern boundary of the commissions au-
thority. The review is given by Gem
eral Ernst president of the commission.
He says that since the levee work was
begun in 1879. the total amount spent
by the general government on levees
for the Mississippi has been s1s,465,o09.
The levees have resulted in reclaiming
and protecting 26,950 square miles, or
seventeen million acres of land. In some
places the river. before the levees were
constructed, was fifty miles in width.

powIE SHOWS FIGHT.
Orders Voliva Dismissed and Says He
Will Return TO Zion

Will Return to Zion.
Chicago, April 4.--Late last night a
telegram was received from Dowie by
Judge Barnes, head of the law Depart
ment of Zion City ordering him to re-
woke the power of attorney. Dowie had
given Overseer voliva, the present head
Of Zion City. Barnes was ordered to
confer the power of attorney upon
Fielding H. Withite, secretary of the
Paradise Mexican plantation, Dowie's
latest venture. In this telegram Dowie
said he was starting for the City of
Mexico and that he expected to be In
Zion City early next week.
Confident of the legality of the trans
fer of Zion City interests and the COM
.pleteness of the overthrow of the rule
of John Alexander Dowie. leaders in
the north shore community yesterday
decided upon a radical departure IN
the conduct of the theocracy and its
industries. Sanction was given at a
conference of the leaders to PROPOSE
ton to invite outside industries to the
hitherto exclusive city. The import
ance of this move as indicated by one
of the overseers. is such that the Lead
ers expect to bring about a speedy
rehabilitation OF the commercial inter-
ests of the community and draw to
the place many big factories.
Certain restrictions will be placed
upon the outside industries-the prod
ucts Of the factories must be absolutely
pure. Nothing shoddy will be permit
ted No church restrictions will be
placed upon the employees of the fac
tories.
Dowie Makes Statement.
Ocolon, Mexico April 4. - A state
ment was made by John Alexander
Dowie for the Associated Press last
night He said he has been treated
with contempt by six of his overseers,
headed by Voliva: that he has official
ly dismissed Overseers Voliva, Piper,
E0ell, Brasfield, Cantel and Speicher;
has Cancelled Voliva's power of attor-
ney: has dismissed Granger from the
office of general financial manager; has
appointed Deacon Fielding Wilhite as
Granger's successor. and has given him
power of attorney: has taken the nee
essary legal steps to protect his estate
and the interests Of Zion.
He will probably give further In
formation today, and in the meanwhile
asks his friends thruout the world not
to be anxious concerning Zion or him.

Courrieres, on March 10. was brought
out of the pit this morning.
The finding Of another miner alive
after twenty-five days entombment.,
caused intense excitement. The man
is in good condition. According to his
statements he suffered less than the
preceding rescued men. AS the news
spread thru that region it caused ex-
treme evaporation against the engi-
neers who have been directing the
salvage work. M. Leon, state engi-
neer, was surrounded by a crowd Of
people who cursed and swore at him,
one woman even striking him.

OWNERSHIP WINS
But Chicago Voters Refuse to Endorse
Proposition for the City to Take Over
Control Of the Street Railways -
Mayor Dunno Disappointed.

Chicago, April 4.-Following are the
correct figures on the election:
The total vote cast on the question of
municipal ownership was 231,171. OF
of municipal operation of the street
railways and 110,260 against 1t. In or
der to become binding the proposition
to operate the railways should have re-
ceived 13S,703 votes. 1t, therefore, fell
short of the required number by 1892
votes.
The proposition to issue $75,0O0,00 in
street railway certificates was carried
by vote of 110,00S against 106,669.
The question of public policy was car
ried by vote of 111,S6 to 108,025.
Mayor Dunno construed the passage
of the s75,OO0,O0o certificate and public
policy propositions as victory for
municipal ownership, but expressed his
disappointment over the defeat Of the
proposition for municipal operation. He
said:
81 admit that I am disappointed be-
cause the victory is not complete. The
important proposition, however, at the
present time is for the issuance of the
certificates and this has been carried.
l regret, however, very much that we
did not get the necessary majority to
enable US to legally operate the street
railway lines But this will not prevent
us from again going before the peo-
pie after we have the street railway
lines and asking for the necessary au-
thority to operate. The people will
vote for operation with big majority
at the proper time"
Party Lines Ignored.
The election was one of the most
interesting to Chicago voters that has
been held in many years. The vote
was much larger than had been expect
ed and all day the contest for and
against municipal ownership was bit-
terly fought. Party lines were largely
ignored and the eligibility Of candidates
depended more upon their attitude to-
ward municipal operation of street
cars, and high licenses for saloons than
upon their party records.

MAYOR ROSE BEATEN.
Milwaukee Executive Defeated in Con
test for Recollection.

Milwaukee Executive Defeated in Con-
test for Re- election.
Milwaukee, April 4-Sherman NJ.
Becker the wealthy young alderman
whose spectacular campaign during the
last few weeks has been the wonder
of the politicians. was elected mayor
of Milwaukee yesterday over David >.
Rose by a plurality of 1900 or more.
His election Is due to the enthusiastic
support which he received from the
young men of the city, and to the feel
, ing that Becker stood against all kinds
of graft, while Mayor Rose has been
an apologist for the grafters.
Another element which entered into
Becker's success was the failure of the
social democrats to make the gains
which they expected. From the looks
of the returns the young men of that
party. as we'll as others, were captured
bv the younger candidates, and swept
aWay with the tide which set in for
Becker.
Old Friends Fail Him.
Mayor Rose met with serious losses
in wards which always have been con-
| ceded to him. In the Fourteenth and
the Twelfth wards, which are largely
Polish, he met with severe losses. the
Poles splitting badly, going from him
to Becker and to Arnold. the social
democratic candidate. Only in the
Eighteenth ward did the Poles remain
firm to the mayor. There and in the
Second, Third and Fourth wards he
received good pluralities The third
ward. rotten borough, went to Rose
by 500 to 900 plurality. Everywhere
else the mayor met Waterloo in his
attempt to be elected for the fifth
time

British Lords Told Only Hope Lies in
the Government Reforms.
London, April 4.-Replying to ques-
ton in the housa of lords yesterday
whether the government intended to
lay On the table any consular or other
official reports concerning the recent
outrages of Jews in Russia which 1t
may have received, Lord Fitzgerald,
under secretary for foreign affairs for
the government, said that to do so
might be regarded as an illegitimate
interference in matters with which
Great Britain has no concern. The
government, the speaker said, was de-
sirous of cessation of the outrages,
but considered that the success of the
reforms introduced by the Russian
government was the only hope of end
ing long standing expressions. Any
ill-timed intervention, he added, might
effect increasing oppression. The arch
bishop of Canterbury indorsed the gov
ern1nent's attitude.
