BIJstake In Describing the Boundary that Will Can Annoying Delay, fjprclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. April 28. It was ascertained to-day that the bill creating the Territory of Oklahoma contains a very serious error. The geographical boundaries are not described rightly. The President referred tho measure to the Secretary of the Interior, as he received it on Friday last, and asked for a report. . Aa is usual in such matters, the Secretary sent the measure to the Commissioner of Public Lands lor the purpose of ascertaining whether the rights of the wards were sufficiently protected. In the office of tho Land Commissioner it was discovered that in the clause which shonld describe tho eastern boundary of Okahoraa the words "eastern line of Texas" reads "western line of Texas," an error which cannot be corrected except by CongTess, and so the bill is to go back to Congress, it is stated, and be referred to the committees of the two houses for correction. This will delay the organization of the Territory for several weeks, in all probability. . TTOBXD'S-FAIU COMMISSIONERS. Governors Mast Appoint Them Within Thirty Days Members-at-Large.

PROTECTION FOR BRAKEMEN. Argument of 3Ir. Coffin for Compulsory Adoption of Safer Railway Appliances. Washington, April 28. Representative Henderson of Iowa to-day .introduced to the House committee on railways and canals L. S. Collin, of Fort Dodge, la., who, as arespresentativeof the Brake men' 9 Association of the United States, addressed the committee in favor of Mr. Heuderson's bill for the protection of railroad employes. The bill requires all railroad cars to be equipped with automatic couplings and power brakes, so that there will be no necessity for the men to go between the cars. Mr. Colli n presented a statement showing that in the period of one month last year one hundred employes bad been killed and lofi crippled for lack of . these devices. lie said that the brakemen's association had paid outof their scanty earnings last year $C0O.00O for the relief of widows of their members killed between tho cars, Iledid cot favor any particular device, and was not present as a representative of any company interested in the manufacture of safety couplers or brakes. All he asked was that the committee should require the railroads to adopt any system which wonld obviate the necessity lor the men going between the cars in coupling. Representatives of the Master Car-building Association were present at the session of the committee, and supplied information upon the technical points. As the Interstate-commerce Commission now has the subject underconsideration, the committee has called upon it for models of the different devices which have been sub mi ted for approval.

SWOLLEN SOUTHERN RIVERS

Danger of Farther Breaks in the Mississippi Le?ec3 Regarded as Fast Grosse Tete Under Water Damage in Texas by the Else in Trinity and Red Rivers--Senators Debate the Outlet System. SOUTHERN FLOODS. No Fear of Further Breaks A Town and Parish Under Water In Louisiana. New Orleans. La., April 28. Tho river is steadily declining and there is no fear of further breaks. Work is being pushed sight and day upon the crevasses that alalready exist, and within a week all will be cleared. A Grosse Tete special says: The little town of Grosse Tete presents a pitiful sight from, a distance. It looks like a tug wonld in the Atlantio ocean. The protection levee m front and opposite the Texas Pacifio depot gave way this morning, letting the angry waters directly in upon the already inundated and helpless town, which had been under water for several days lrom backwater coming from the Brouquets crevasse, two miles below. A Martinsville special says: The water in this parish is rising at the rate of eight inches every twenty-four hours, and those who reside in the lowland sections near the woods were compelled to leave their homes and moved to the bayou banks. The crops in their section, which were magnificent, are all lost. Cattle are daily driven through hero going. on the west bank of the bayou for pastures. Twenty-five hundred people will suffer in this parish from the Hoods Damage by Flood In Texas. Dallas, Tex., April 23. The sun rose beautiful and clear this morning, but the outlook was the reverse in about four hundred homes in Dallas and the suburbs, from which the inhabitants had been driven by the overflow on the Trinity river. The river at this rise was a few inches higher than that of 18CC, which was the highest recorded within the memory of the oldest settlers. The water last night ran through the windows of the first floor of the Dallas elevator and damaged a large amount of wheat, as well as the machinery and bnilding. Many manufactories suffered like damage. Yesterday as the mail was being transferred from one train to the other on the Texas & Pacific road, a pouch of registered mail slipped oil the hand car and suuk in the switt current before it could be recovered. The city water-work are useless. The damage done by the licod in Dallas will amount to several bundled thousand dollars. Reports from Red river are to the effect that it is higher than it has been forty years. There was thirty-four feet of water at Arthur City this morning. All the lowlands are inundated, and several houses are reported to have been swept away. The occupants had to move out in boats. The loss will be very great. OUTLET SYSTEM VERSUS LEVEES. Question of Great Importance to the Mississippi Valley Discussed by the Senate. Washington. April 2S. In connection with the presentation of a memorial to the Senate to-day in relation to the Mississippi river, a discussion sprung up which was participated in by many Senators, the point turning on the question whether the levee system or the outlet system was tho correct one, or whether there should not be a combination of the two. Mr. Vest gave it as his opinion that the two systems could not stand together, and that Congress should adopt the one system or the other. There was no subject more imperative in its demands on Congress, and none that was in such an uncertain, unsatisfactory and nebulous condition. Mr. Frye, chairman of the committee on, . " . . w i .

commerce, spoke ot a hearing: wmcn mat sary to see that organ, but nocommittee had given last Thursday to the where else. The Persian minister and

friends of the outlet system, and said, that it had left his mind in greater confusion than ever. The friends of the outlet system had taken the ground very strongly that the levee system had raised the bed of the river and was continually raising it, and that the outlet system was the only "vay to relieve the river. He had not the remotest idea what ought to bo done on the subject. Mr. Keagan said that he had given the subject great attention when a member of the committee on commerce in the House. His investigations bad convinced him that the levee system was a failure, as it had proved to be in the Yellow river, of China, where the bed of the river had been raised, and devastating overllows had taken place, causing the loss of millions of lives. It seemed to him that the plan laid down by Col. Ellet, titty years ago, for an outlet system, was tho true kind of relief for overflows of the Mississippi. Mr. Berry said that every engineer, except one, perhaps, who had had anything to do with the river had reported that the levee system was the only true system. Ninety-uino of every hundred men who were familiar with the river were in ravor of the levee system and opposed to the outlo f'titcrQe Mr. Washburn spoke of the deep interest he felt in the subject, of the thorough examination which ho bad given it as a member of the House committee on commerce, and said the conclusion which he had reached had been that the levee system was the true one. But he was frank to say that he was to-day in doubt on the subject. Mr. Harris said he had believed in the levee system, but that the events of the last two months had greatly shaken his confidence in it; and he suggested the apE ointment of a commission of scientists, to e charged with the duty of a thorough investigation of the subject in the light of the experience of the whole planet. Mr. Kustis thought it a very inopportune moment to discuss the question. In tho lirst place, ft had come up unexpectedly; and in the next place, he did not think any Senator had the requisite information on the subject. Steamboat captains, who ought to know a pood deal about tho river, were nnanimouslv in favor of tho levee system as against the outlet system. Mr. Hawley said the levee system wonld never be got rid of. because Congress had . no constitutional nower to prevent planters from building levees for the protection of their property; but be also believed that the outlet system had been undervalued; and he thought that Congress should finHv nettle down on combining tho two systems. mi. ulthall said that, as far as he knew or believed, the. people along the river every man of them had absolute faith in the leveo system, and were generally, if not universally, opposed to the outlet system. He bad not tho shadow of a doubt that, if the outlet system was adopted, it would not be long before the Mississippi river would become absolutely useless for the purpose of navigation. - Mr. Vest asked him what would be the eilectof the Lake Borgne outlet on the Mississippi jetties. Mr. Walthall replied that there was no doubt that the river below the Lake Borgne outlet would shoal, just as it had shoaled, a few years ago, below the Bonnet Carre crevasse and the Belle crevasse and that the whole theory of the Kads system would be defeated. Mr. Washburn inquired whther the Atchafalaya outlet had that result. Mr. Gibson, in reply to Mr. Washburn's question, said that, in spite of the great Atchafalaya outlet, which carried od" onefourth of the water of the Mississippi, the river was higher now than it over had been. This ended the discussion for the dayGovernment Relief Measures. Washington, April 28. Secretary Proctor has received several replies to his telegrams asking for information in regard to the extent of snficring in the oversowed districts of the South. The Governor or Louisiana said that the ten-days' rations for 25,000 people should be tent to New Orleans for distribution throughout the State. The Governor of Mississippi said there are probably 20,000 persons in that State needing assistance, and the Governor of Arkansas said that 00 people in Phillips county and a considerable number in Desha county

are in great need of relief.' Lieut. Jas. 1 Wilson. Fourth Artillery, at Jackson Barracks. Mississippi, has been directed to report to Captain Weston, acting depot quartermaster at New Orleans, for temporary duty in connection with the relief of the flood sufferers, and Major-general Howard, at New York, has been directed to detail such other assistant as may be required. Captain Weston has been instructed to use his own discretion in regard to the isrne of green shoulders and corn-meal, instead of bacon and flour, aud to do at once what he can for the relief of all who need it. He has been given ample powers in the matter of transportation and the employment . of assistants.

BALFOUR'S IRISH LAND BILL Landlords Beginning to Pick Flaws in the Measure and Show Discontent. They Say It Offers a Premium to Tenants Who Disturb Thfiir Neighbors, and that It Is More Compulsory than Voluntary. DISSATISFIED IRISH LANDLORDS. Their Objections to Certain Features of the Balfour Land Purchase Bill. London, April 28. The study of the Irish land purchaso bill clauses is producing considerable discontent among Irish laudlords who have no trouble with their tenants. They now see that the voluntary principle of Mr. Balfour's bill is an almost irresistible 'compulsory power. If on oue estate tenants are paying tho 80 and buy their holdings, while on tho other estate 100 is exacted byte landlord, the principle of competition wiffNnlace the latter' s tenants at such a disadvantage that a demaud for the reduction of their rent will follow, as a matter of course. If that reduction be granted, the landlords will lose one-fifth of his property at a stroke. He can avoid the commission only by ollering to sell. If he offers to sell, the money which the tenants pay to him will be limited to the amount which the state will advance, and as that is only twenty years' purchase, the Irish landlord, whoso relations with his tenants are agreeable, wants to know where the justice of the proposal comes in. He is also disposed to mako the complaint, which was oddly enough lirst heard from the Kadical side, that the bill offers a premium to the tenants who disturb the peace of their neighbors. ! Mr. Balfour and Mr. Goschon had a conference to-day with the Irish Land Commission in regard to the expediency of the adoption by the House of Commons of a part of the proposals made by Mr. Parnell relative to the purchase of land in Ireland. In the House of Commons this evening Mr. Chamberlain said he fully agreed with the suggest ions of the Parnell i tea relating to the establishment of a cheap land regis tration and transfer. He did not object to state aid, but thought the state had a right to make conditions to prevent districts from relapsing into their former positions. Mr. Parn ell's scheme could not safely be substituted for the government's, but the government might limit the bill to holdings of less than 50. THE SQAU'S WIFE. Her Bodyguard of Eunichs Resent an Oculist' Defiance of Persian Customs. Vienna, April 28. Society here is greatly excited over the circumstances attending the visit of the wife of the Shah of Persia to the Austrian canital to take advantage of tho skill of a leading oculist. When the day for the operation arrived the clashing of the western customs and eastern prejudices occasioned several curious scenes. The throe eunuchs of the lady's suite insisted on remaining in the room, and almost assaulted the oculist when he asked the lady to remove her veil. The eunichs proposed that the veil should be cut around the eve when it was neceseunuchs had to be removed by force before the operation could be proceeded with. The eunichs fought savagely, and it . will now be their duty to report to the Shah the indignity to which his wife has been subjected, and which, according to Persian law, is punishable by death. The invalid is forty-five years old and of a rather delicate frame, and lost her right eve some four years ago from glaucom. The disease made Its appearance in her left eye, also, about three months ago, and sbe was strongly advised to come to Europe and obtain the best treatment to be bad. She refused to mako the journey, however, until her sight was entirely gone. She is now totally blind, but is determined at last to resort to every means to regain her lost sight, if possible. GENEltAL FOREIGN NEWS. Dr. Adler's Views on the Question of Judaism Now Hetng Agitated In Hrltaln. London, April 28. The declaration by Dr. Hermann Adler on the critical question now agitating English Judaism, has served to give it an increased prominence. Doctor Adler has, apparently, no great sympathy with the desire for a system of popular control of "representative boards" or local synagogue committees in preference to the jurisdiction of the chief rabbi, and does not accept the idea that the alleged inditferentism is principally due to the lack of sympathy between worshipers and the established ritual., He, indeed, rejects tho charge that lethargy is a characteristic of Anglo-Judaism. He points to the evidences of activity which exist on all side, and quotes the saying of a highlycultured German Jew respecting the fervor of the English Jews for charitable works and their creed." Do not, he adds, "delude yourself with the thought that a mere change of ritual can rouse the sluggish and work a religions revival; do not crave for violent or drastic changes' Yet the Doctor is not quite satisfied with the . the synagogue service ns now performed, and the agitation is gathering inliuence. A petition, just presented to the council of the United Synagogue in favor of reform, reveals that the movement has a very remarkable following. There- is no doubt t hat the preseut is a singularly critical moment in the history of English Judaism. Traitor Secretly Shot. London, April 20.

WILL TRY TO KESTORE LIFE Resuscitating Apparatus to Be Applied to Kemmler After His Execution. Everything in Readiness for the First Attempt to Kill Murderers by Electricity The Fatal Chair and Its Appliances. Auburn, N. Y.t April 2S. Kemmler's last Suuday on earth was spent in much the Bamo way as previous days of his year's life if life it can be called in solitary confinement.' He never sees a living soul outside of his two guards, his spiritual adviser and occasionally the warden's wife. He occupies his time between meals in studying his pictorial Bible and writing his autograph on cards, of which he has dashed off a great many. Dr. Fell, a Buffalo scientist, with a patent resuscitating apparatus, has arrived, and is the guest of Warden Dnrston. He is here at the request of the wardeu, to see that everything goes oil smoothly. The Doctor tried his patents on the animals which were put to death by electricity at the prison in January last when the machinery was first tested. It failed at the time to resuscitate the subjects, aud went far toward convincing the electrical commission that death aud not mere suspended animation was produced instantaneously. It is understood he will also try the apparatus on Kemmler after the latter has received 1,000 volts. Warden Durston has yet to let fall the firi t inkling as to the precise day of Kemmler's taking off. It is generally believed Wednesday will be the day, but certainly no later than Thursday. It is also thought the execution will take place at a very early hour in the morning, perhaps before daylight. But these are mere surmises. New York city newspaper men are here in great force. The warden is as unyielding as adamant in shutting out press representatives, but some of the doctors or guards at the execution may be prevailed upon to talk after it is all over. The condemned man has not manifested the slightest concern as to his last day on earth, while the score or moro newspaper correspondents that haunt the hotels and pribon corridors are consumed with curiosity on the subject. The warden adheres inflexibly to his resolution to permit but two newspaper men, representatives of the two press associations, to witness the execution, and nothing will move him. The chair of death, about which so much has been written and so little known, was to-day shown the - Associated Press representative by Warden Durston. It was found stored in the State shop of the prison, and the entire mechanism of thismyterious accessory was fully explained. The chair is a large, highbacked, comfortable-looking atlair, and but for the numerous ominous-looking straps attached to its arms and sides, seemed to invite the spectator to be seated and enjoy a siesta. Uuo of the party sat in the chair to represent Kemmler. while the warden proceeded to strap the man about the body and limbs, and adjust the electrodes to the top of the head and base of the spine, and pronounced him ready for the deadly volts. In the same room were two other cbaiia of similar design and material. They were all manufactured within the walls of the prison, nnder tho direction of Warden Durston, and are intended for use in the two other places where electricity is to be ued in executiug criminals Sing Sing and Dannemora prisons. In the room adjacent to the one where the chairs were stored two convicts were working, indus triously applying a coat of black-walnut stain to a mysterious-iooking box. The warden was asked what it was, and he replied Keininler's coffin. , The chair has now been removed to the room of execution, and the coffin will follow to-morrow. The interment will be in the prison grave-yard. It is given out that all communication with tho prison will be suspended to-morrow, and all telephone and telegraph wires cut out. This probably means that the officials will be too busy preparing for the event to attend to business, but it may mean that the execution is to take place that day, aud it is this speck of doubt that worries tho watchers. The Western Union haa established a branch office across the road from the prison, to expedite business, and facilitate the transmission of the avalanche of matter that is now put upon the wires nightly. The latest news about murderer William Kemmler is that ho is still alive, and no one knows definitely at what hour or on what day the shock of the law's thunderbolt will be sent through his body.. It had been almost settled upon that the execution was to take place on Tuesday, but the machinery of the death-room had not been put in final order when working-hours were over this evening, and it is now believed that the arrangements will not be completed until late to-morrow. Warden Durston, who is in absolute charge, said this afternoon that the execution certainly would not occnr during the next twenty-four hours. Of course, in compliance with the law requiring secrecy, the warden will not divulge the exact time, yet it is understood about town that it will be some time on Wednesday. The contract which Mr. Brown, ,the electrician furnishing the dynamo, ban with the State is for one year from May 1, lbbU Mr. Brown's relations with the State authorities do not appear to be of the most harmonious kind, and there is a well founded rumor to-night that he wonld willingly see the execution deferred until after Wednesday Should it be delayed until after that day. and should anything go wrong in the working of thoapparatus. Mr. Brown would not be technically responsible. Perhaps because the authorities desiro to hold him responsible it will be determined to have the killingdone before the contract expires. Mr. Brown left New York on Sunday night, presumably for Auburn. When asKea in tho Grand Central Station by the newspaper men, who were bound for here, if ho were goiug to Auburn, he said: "Oh, no. 1 am going to Syracuse, Ithaca, and some other places on personal business." It may thus result that, after all. be will not move the instru ment which will make Kemmler a dead man. He is sensitive about acquiring that notoriety. lhis question of who will act as executioner is anotner 01 tne many that are puzzlingall inquirers. A train this afternoon brought District Attorney C. M. Quimby, Dr. C. M. Daniels and Dr. A. P. Southwick, all of Buffalo. where tho murder of Mrs. Tillie Ziegler. Kemmler s mistress, was committed. Dr. Southwick is the man who first gave strong impetus to the movementio substitute elec tricitv for the rope. He was opposed to hanging, aud one day, when a mau in Buffalo was killed accidentally by an electrical shock, the idea of tins new method of death was stitrirested to the Doctor. Mr. O nimby is the district attorney who prosecuted the case against Kemmler. Dr. DanieU is one of the physicians who will assist at the autopsy. These three men and a squad of reporters were taken this afternoou to the death-chamber, by Warden Durston. Dr. Southwick, as the lather of the new method, and as a member of tho Gerry Electrical Commission, was much inter ested in seeing the chair in which Kemmler will sit. It is of heavy wooden framework, with a moveble cross-piece at the too of the back. This cross-piece may be shoved up or down, according to the height of the occupant. Throneh a hole in it a wire will pass to the electrode cup under neath which will tit on the victim's head. Down the back of the chair another wire will pass, connecting with auother elec trode at the base of the spine. Saturated soonees will be placed between, the elec trodes and the body to preent burning. The whole chair looks like a clumsy barbers' chair, except for the projecting cross-pieces at the top aud the broad leather straps fastened to the back and arms. Ono strap will pass Around tho abdomen and auother around the chat. There will be two binding each

The face strap ia slit no as to leave Le rvic,tim's nose projecting. This device t&krs the place of the black-cap, and conceals the last look of anguish that passes over a man's countenance when he is within an instant of execution. It was asserted to-dar that the current used to cause death wonld bo of between two and three amperes ia volume and between 2.500 and 2. .00 volts in force. Thi will bo obtained by running the dynamo a. more than its usual commercial speo. This voltage would supply about one thou sand lights. Warden Durston also exhibited tbe chair which electrician 13rown had furnished, but which was rejected. It is like a steamer chair, made 6olidly.of planks and too rough in construction to be considered of possible service. Dr. Daniels was strapped into Warden Durston's chair; and tried to move. He could not. It is possible that aftr tho shock has been administered there will be a relaxation of the muscles, but tho hed cannot escape from tne eiectroiie. Dr. Southwick discussed the two chairs, and said tho Warden's was much better, though he thought there was too mucu complication in tbe strapping. t Th death-room adjoins Keraralera cell corridor. It looks out on the front yard of the prison, and has nothing in it now except the switch-boards, and wires and meters. The dynamo is on tbe other side of the piison rectangle, nearly one thousand feet away. The names of the twentyseven men who will be present at the killing have not all been announced. Elbridpe T. Gerry, of Mew York, and Matthew Hale, of Albauy, who, with Dr. Southwick. formed tho commission that recommended tbe Legislature to adopt the electrical method, are expected to-morrow. Dr. bpitzka and Dr. Flint, of New York, who are to assist in the autopsy will probably come at the same tiino. Kemmler has passed the day in about the same way that ho has the hist week. Ho has read his llible as well cs he could and listened to his religious keeper. Daniel Mc Naughton, Dr. Houghton, and Chaplain Yates. He made his will to-night, giving a pictorial Bible to keeper McNanghtcn; a 'pis in clover' puzzle to Kev. Dr. Houghton, a Testament to keeper Wemple. and a slate covered with autographs to Chaplain Yates. Mrs. Durston left Auburn to-night so as not to bo in the prison during the execution. She Iias done mors than any one else to convert Kemmler. Tho Child Not Kcsponslbl. Boston Transcript.
