Thousands of Acres of Land Reported
Under Water.
Little Rock, Ark, April 1S.-Re-
ports from the lower Arkansas river
say the levees are breaking in many
places on account of high water. A
message received here from the peni-
tentiary told of a break in the levee
above the state farm.
Hundreds of convicts rushed to the
break, and aided in closing it.
The levees opposite the farm viii
have to be cut in order to save them,
as the water is pressing against the
tops. This is caused by the con-
struction of additional levees, confin-
ing the river within its banks above.
Thousands of acres of land are report
ed under water where the levees gave
way, and were cut.

Its now thought that means will
possibly develop by which both
John Sharp Williams and Varda-
man may be delegates at large
from Mississippi to the Denver
Convention of the Democratic par
ty. This by Senator Money who
is that infirm that he may not care
to take the trip standing aside
and his kinsman, the ex-governor
to be sent in his st "a. The Gus
tom prevails of making the two
U. S. Senators, of the State two of
the three delegates to the National
Convention. Williams great prom
inence in State and National affairs
will properly entitle him to the
third birth in the delegation.
Both of these statesman should be

resentation when it sets foot in the

ing the policies and participating

Asked IL it We're better than Nor

"If of two evils | We're to choose the

where several wives are taken a t once.
to progressive polygamy, as practice1
by divorced people who remarry. In
the former case the wives apd chil-
dren are provided for, and in the lat
ter the wives are often sent adrift and
exposed to every danger, whereas the
children, If there be any, are deprived
OF the protection and care which the
natural law itself dictates that they
should receive at the hands of their
parents. Moreover it is hard to see
how the children of divorced people
can escape the stigma which must
necessarily attach to those whose par
ents have been separated from each
other as very often happens on az
count Of some misconduct either of
the father or the mother"
The cardinal made 1t plain that the
efforts of Prince de Sagan and Anna
Gould to obtain Papal sanction to
their marriage would be without avail.

TO DEFENSE OF STEWART
Itnyner Offers RESOLUTION to See II
President Illus tight to Punish.

WASHINGTON, May 11.--senator
Raynsr to-day introduced Il resolution
"autliorizing the President to convene
a court OF inquiry" to consist OF five
officers OF the army. to Investigate
charges and accusations against Col
onel William +. stewart Of the army,
who has been detailed to serve until
retirement at the abandoned military
post at Fort Grant, Arizona. Mr.. Rayner
Will speak upon the resolution to-mor-
row. He gave motive that he expected
the Senate to take action at that time.

tor Rayner and Senator Stewart, OF
Vermont. declaring that, es command
er- In chief, the President Is supreme
in all matters pertaining TO the army
and navy.
The resolution by Senator Rayner
declares in the preamble that charges
and accusations have been filed with
the President OF the United states af-
fecting the qualifications and status OF
Colonel Stewart as an officer. and that
he had not been. served with copy OF
the charges. 1t is pointed out that the
officer onstwo occasions has asked Tor
court of inquiry. and that his re-
quests have been denied, and that he
has been without opportunity to de-
fend himself against the "ex Darte ac-
cusntions' on which he was assigned
to deserted post a Fort Grant, Ari..
without command. later transferred to
a post without command. at ST. Au-
gustine, Fla. and recently ordered back
to Fort Grant.
1t is declared that this punishment"
has been inflicted without Colonel
Stewart having been afforded the
slightest opportunity to secure inform
alton concerning the charges.
The resolution, II adopted would
compel the War Department to pro.
duce all of the charges and accusa ;
tions on file at the department and
with President Roosevelt. The officer
would have the authority to confront
his accusers and to be represented at
the court with counsel.
In addressing the Senate tomorrow
| Senator Rayner will confine his argu-
ment TO the question of whether the
President has the right to condemn
an officer to punishment without the
| court of inquiry guaranteed to every
officer by the articles OF war The
Presidents letter to Senator Rayner
1t is said, In several instances, de-
clares that the officer merited the
| punishment" bestowed, and shows that
the President himself regards Stewards
