Beka creyasse closed-0ther Breaks.


The second attempt to close the
| break IN the Beka levee, a few miles
below Algiers in the parish of Orleans,
was brought to a successful issue un-
der the direction of Chief State Ep-
gineer f. M. Kerr. and the achieve
nent may be elassed as one Of no
ordinary character, inasmuch as there
are few instances on record of the
stopping of such breaks when the wa.
ter was at an extremely high stage and
rising. Comparatively small damage
will result from this crevasse because
of the prompt measures taken to pre-
vent it from becoming enlarged and
the short time 1t was permitted to re-
main open.
The Mississippi river levees are
holding well all along the line, and as
the crest of the flood is believed to
have passed increasing confidence is
felt that no further breaches in these
entertainments will occur this season.
Two ereyasses have occurred near
Alexandria, both in private levees on
Bayou Rapides, and unless they can
be closed d large area of fertile coun-
try in Rapides, St. Landry and
Ayoyelles parishes will be inundated.
Red river has reached the highest
stage in its history at Alexandria and
is still rising. There are many dan
ger points along the stream and fresh
disasters are feared before the flood
subsidies.

NO TROUBLE WITH WADDELL
Manager McAleer Denies that Rube

Eccentric Pitcher VIII Be Used in
Game Against Athletics Either
Tomorrow or Tuesday.
sueeial 70 TIE Washington Herald.


Philadelphia, May l6.-"Rube' Waddell
is in town. "Rube" has been here before,
but this time special interest attaches to
the event because he is now a member
Of the st. Louis American League Club
and not the chief strike-out artist OF the
Athletics
Thousands Of Philadelphia fans had
been hoping that Waddell would be sent
in against his old teammates this after
noon, but this long and eagerly awainted
event will not take place until Monday or
Tuesday. Thus the greatest event of the
season goes over until next week
Of course, Waddell couldn't come back
to his old home without a rumor preced-
ing him Waddell and Dame Rumor
Joined fortunes long ago. and she is still
keeping him company. This time Dame
Rumor had it that Waddell had deserted
the St Louis club.
Such a thing as a desertion wouldn't
worry "Rube' any, for he has taken
French leave of a team so often that
he long ago stopped counting.
Manager McAieer. however. denies that
Waddell had jumped his club at Wash
ington as reported. Mr.. 8IcAleer said that
"Rube" had come here with the team
from Washington and that he hadn't
skidooed 70 parts unknown.
"Rube's conduct has been excellent, and
/ have not had the slightest trouble with
him" declared McAleer.
