roii iiomi: AMI I.IVK8. Thnttannrin Working; Alone the I.cre Thnt Arc About to tilvo Wny. C.kCKXVILI.r:. Miss.. March 2. The pauffo reads 4S.6. a rise of four-tenth. within the past twenty-four hour. The weather Is warmer ami partly cloudy, livery hour has been utilized by la tor on the levees. No time Is Ieing lost while the weather remains good. Some may be praying, but all realize the fact that they must watch and Tiork as well as prny. Nearly one. thousand men are at work upon the levees for the ten miles covering Greenville front. An army of five hundred new laborers' fresh from the plantations will arrive here tomorrow. The Greenville sawmills are at work to-day with full forces of men. while barges are being loaded with lumber and packs to be jscnt to weak point?. The boats Kthridge. Mitre Tarker, Videle. Mayflower, Kuth. Annie Laurie. Urown, Chicot. Tourist and Greyhound are being used exclusively for transportation of material and men to strengthen the levee. Kvery energy is being used to prevent a crevasse, with hop?s Of success. While the water is above the regular levees in some places, dirt, lumber and bags of sand have been used to elevate the embankments above the water. Everything is intact to-night. Th government boat Mississippi, with the river commission aboard, stopped here thl3 morning, and in an Interview Judge Taylor, of Indiana, member cf the commission, and one of the oldest men in the service, said that of the miles of levees with this unprecedented flood, less than seven miles have given way under the terrible pressure, only one-half of 1 per cent, of the system. U thinks it possible that other breaks will occur during the next few days, as he expect one more foot of water for this section. To be prepared for the rise yet to come Is now the purpose of those In authority here. If the weather continues Kood it Is believed that the entire line of levees along the Arkansas side of the Mississippi river a continuous line of nearly four hundred miles will be made to hold. Several weak places reportcl south of Oreenvllle last night are now under control. The Arkansas levees opposite Greenville are said to be In fair condition. ' Governor A. J. Mcliurin. vvho has been in the delta for several days, left for Jackson this morning, but paid before leaving that his services were at the command of the people here. Ueutenant II. . Newcomer, with headquarters in Memphis, in charge of the government work in the third district, is here and doing all In his power. The crisis 1 on this Fection now, the situation U grave and the strain on the levees and the people is severe. Ilnmoretl IlreuU In the Levee. KOSEDALE. Miss.. March 28. Wild rumors are heard here at a late hour this afternoon th-nt a break occurred In the Issaquena di.-frict. but confirmation has not befn received. The only point along the Mississippi line to-night seriously threatened is Longwood. fifteen miles south of Greenville, the situation there being considered -ery severe and the water Is reported running over the top in several places and there are several bad sloughs. The Yazoo Valley passenger train reached this place at p. m. with the necessary material and a hard tight at this hour is being waged with turbulent waters of the great river. Some apprehension la felt for the levees to-night on account of a strong wind prevailing and extra guards have been put on. As far as the eye can penerate little specks of light can be seen dangling in ths glocm of the night, showing that every man is doing his duty as a guard. Any threatened point in the levees brings men by the hundreds in a marvelous short time. No breaks have teen reported on the Arkansas side to-day. but the strong wind blowing from the southeast will put an additional strain on these lines. Increasing Anxiety. VICKSBURG. Miss.. March 2. The dayhas been one of increased anxiety for those depending on and protected by the levees. Orders for sacks and other material have teen plentiful. Major Willard. United States engineer, sent a boat out this afternoon to meet the demand for sacks and shovels that came from Greenville. The river at Vleksburg has risen fivetenths -since last evening, and is now 4S.6, idx inches below the highest water since The most that can 1 said is that the levees are being held on both sides of the river under circumstances little short of desperate. ' Government bulletins to-day announcing more rain in the upper valleys are most depressing. President Maxwell, of the Fifth lAuislana Lievee Board, urges planters to send labor and teams to the levees Immediately. The supply of sacks here Is exhausted, and he has ordered tifty thou sand from New Orleans, which left by special train this evening. The state convicts at Diamond Island will be sent at once to lllawara and Pitcher's point levees, which are In danger. Cotton Ilelt Inundated. FORT WORTH, Tex., March 2S. The rainfall following to-day's storm was the hardest for years. The water Is over the city several feet deep In some places and much damage has been wrought. No casualties are reported, but advices come in from the suburbs detailing severe damage to dwellings. The cotton belt country for miles around Is Inundated. The railroads running Into this city are completely prostrated. Falling nt Memphis. MEMPHIS. Tenn., March 2S.-The flood situation around Memphis is unchanged. The river is slowly falling, the gatiso tonicht registering C?.3 feet. Many of the refugees are returning to thir abandoned homes In Arkansas, and altogether the outlook Is more encouraging than at any time since the Hood set in. FORECAST FOR INDIAN A TO I.I S.

TALE OF THE ST. NAZAIRE

o.m: or Tim ivrkckkd steamship's BOATS TAKHX TO i:GLAMl. Thirteen Ilnlf-Crnzed Survivors Snvett ly the Yannrlvn Seeond Captain AuolaIs nrratle. LONDON. March 2S.-The British steamship Yanariva, Captain Weston, which left Newport News on March 10, for Glasgow, arrived at Greenock to-night. The captain reports that on March 12. while in latitude 31. longitude 71, he picked up a small boat containing sixteen survivors of the steamship Ville do St. Nazaire, of the West Indian line of the Compagnie Gencrale Transatlantciue, which foundered In the great storm of March 7, off the Virginia capes. They had been without food and water for four days and were in a state of extreme exhaustion and were bordering on madness. The officers and crew of the Yanariva did all in their power for the unhappy vic'vlms of an ocean horror, and iinally learned their pitiful story. They say that four boats were launched, iwo containing twenty-nine each, the third seventeen and the fourth six. The boat picked up by the Yanariva was one of the two boats that took off twenty-nine. Thirteen of the.se had - uccumbed to exposure, hunger and thirst. Ihe last the survivors saw of he other ooats was on the day the vessel 'foundered, when they sighted two of thtm lashed to gether and empty. For some time after the rescue tne cap tain of the Yanariva kept an ollicer at the masthead, sweeping the horizon with a. glass In the hope of getting some trace of the other boats, but there was no sign or them. As niuht was fallinc rapidly and th." sea and wind increasing, with mist and rain, the Yanariva proceeded. The second ofHcer of the Ville De St. Na zaire Is among the rescued, who wiil be taken in charge by the t rench consul at Glasgow. According to the list of the crew of the Ville De St. Nazaire originally published, the "second captain" was Pierre Nueoli and tho first Lieuttnant Andre De Aiuirds. Nueoli is probably the otticer rescued by the Yanariva. Tho circumstances under which the res cued boat was picked up by the anariva were most thrllang. The captain and third officer, who were on the bridge, saw a dark object on the water several miles away. The steamer was put about, and in less than an hour met the lifeboat of the Ilie de St. Nazaire. The sea was running rough, but the Yanariva's crew managed to haul the boat on board. They found, to their amazement, the occupants lying absolutely helpless in the bottom, ana two of them raving crazy. The only sign of food was one sinail tin of biscuits. Three days passed before the rescued men had s'iniciently re covered to take solid food. The survivors of the original twenty-nine are the second captain Pierre Xoulai; tje second engineer, Germain Glraud; the third engineer. Prosper lxrezettl; Nicolas Siuuviantll. of I'ort-au-Prince, liaytl, and twelve seamen from Martinique. becond Captain rsuolal says that on the fth of March the vessel sprang a leak. A violent hurricane blow that night and during the following day. On the morning of the Mh the vessel had sunk so low in the water that it was necessary to take to the tioats, although the storm was still at Its height. The Ville St. Nazaire had a complement of eight lifeboats. Tho lirst four launched were dashed against the side of the vessel and pounded to pieces. Tho other four got clear, but soon parted company. "Our boat." said Second Captain xuoiai, "did not ship a drop of water when getting away from the vessel. This was due to the promptness with which she sheered off. The weather continued very bois terous, and the waves sometimes half swamped us. We kept bailing for our lives with our caps. After a while we rigged a sail and kept the boat running be fore the wind as well as we could. w e were drenched and our sufferings were terrible. In spite of every warning some soon betran to drink the salt water, several or these went mad and Jumped overboard. Those who refrained from drinking fared the best and they held down others who went mad until their strength failed. "We keit a constant lookout for a sail. but saw none until the morning of the 12th. when we sighted a steamer. She was too far away for us to signal her. W watched with mad anxiety as we saw her steering for us. At that moment we had only four inches of free board on the boat. Kvery instant I expected she would go to the bot tom. At last the lanariva reached us and we were hauled on to the deck." A Fnnatic'n Illoody Deed. LONDON. March 28. Tho Daily Mail prints a dispatch from Bombay which says that the fanatical Mohammedans there display the bitterest opposition to the measures taken by the government for suppress ing tho bulKjnic plague. For Instance, on Saturday a Mohammedan, while leaving the city with his wife, refused to allow her to submit herself to the prescribed in spection. The ollicials insisted, whereupon the Mohammedan suddenly drew his dagger and stabbed her to the heart. Then he stabbed Cie official physician and attempt ed to kill n.mself. Ihe plague is spreading rapidly in Hulsar and Gujorat, where its ravages are terrible. Minister Terrell Asks for Gnnrd. CONSTANTINOPLE, March 2S.-Owing to fetrs of further disturbance in the Villayet of Sives, United States Minister Ter rell has asked the Porte to resume the mil itary guard at the residences of the Amer lean missionaries. There is a feeling of un easiness here because of tho rumor that the Armenians, who participated in the attack on the Imjerial Ottoman Rank, have returned to the city. The fact that the authorities have materially increased of late the military precautions against outbreak. Indicates that they share in the feeling of apprehension. Will Fronecnte Deputies.

Kxceptlonal advantages in the way of a good track are offered tne riders and the confident exectatlon is that some records will be broken. There will be an effort to bat the record recently made at Chicago of 1.7SS miles, and some of the enthusiasts hope to see one or more of the riders ap proach Teddy Hale's record of l.'JlO miles for 142 hours. Ihe men are In excellent condition and made a tine showing as they commenced their work this morning. Alberts tok the lead when the pistol was fired, but Shock crossed the tape line In the lead at the end oC the first mile. At 12:20 a. m.. most of the riders had made six miles or slightly over. The track i? considered one of the finest ever constructed and is ten laps to the mile. Liberal prizts are offered, being in the aggregate '.) per cent, of the gross receipts, the winner receiving 4i per cent, of this and the second man 'Jt pr cent. The affair is tinder the control of David Towers, the manager of Convention Hall. The score at I a. in. was: Shoch. 22 miles; I.awson. 21 miles ami 7 laps; Alberts. 21 miles and 1 lap; Colden.

There has been much speculation as to the 1 'resident's outlay. Mr. Ogle speculated thus: "lie probably gives twenty-five state dinners during the long sessions of Congress, and fifteen at the short sessions, being an average of twenty dinners annually with forty guests for each. If we allow $2 to each guest the annual dinner will be VK Twenty atate dinners would, therefore rc-

quire $1,600. The sum of 52 for each guest

U a very' liberal allowance, and within a few francs of the price paid by Iuis Phi lippe. King of the French, the richest monarch in the world, to his purveyor, for providing the most sumptuous banquets at the Tuilleries." This calculation will bo amusing to all who have had to deal with the successor of Jjouis Philippe's purveyor the modern chef. I shall not attempt to answer the question, how much of his salary does the President expend? Hut those who think he can live at his ease after his retirement on the Income from his pavings should take ac count of several things: First, that the net Income from safe investments does not exceed 4 per cent.; second, that the amount invested in a home yields no Income, and third. that he must have a private secretary, for his mail will be so large that he cannot deal with it himself. A son of one of our most eminent Presidents who had lost all of his means told me that It was pathetic to see his father, who was in ill health, lalwring beyond his strength to answer the letters that came to him. Rut If the President retains a fair measure of health he will take care of himself. If he was ever capable of directing the affairs of the nation he may be trusted to adminis ter his own business; and If he has won the esteem of his fellow-citizens and has right ly valued it he will not barter it for riches. To any avocation from which a man may be suitably called to the presidency he may suitably return. 60,000 MEN MAY STRIKE ItFSlIT OF .OTICi: WHICH MGAXS A LOCKOUT TO STKAM FITTFHS.

The agreement with the Master Fitters' Association has to run until September, and In the new agreement the men Intend to demand an increase of W cents a day. Should a sympathetic strike be ordered it would include the whole of the trades affiliated with the board of walking delegates, and J0,uoj 'men may be called out. It is claimed that the men violated tho agreement by the strike against the plumbers in connection with the doing of ther mostatic work In the new Columbia College building. To Move Gins Worker IleadQunrtem Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., March 2S. The Western members of the Window-glass Workers Association are making a determined effort to secure the location of the president's hcaduuarters in the Indiana natural gas belt, and, as two of the members of the wage committee reside in Anderson, this city is looked on as the most favorable location for the home of President Hums. The Anderson members of the association are Charles Pryant and George Perkins. A majority of the window-glass workers reside west of I'ittsburg, and business would be expedited by a change in the location of the executive. Refore the discovery of natural gas the glass industry was confined almost exclusively to the Eastern States. Order for n Miner Strike. PHICLIPSBURG. Pa., March 21 At a mass meeting of miners in this city to-day resolutions were adopted declaring against any acceptance of a reduction in the mining rate and calling on the men who have ac cepted a reduction to quit work. A request is also made to all the miners in all the soft coal regions, whose coal goes to tho Eastern markets, to send delegates to the creneral conference to be held at Clearfield next Wednesday. Local operators say that unless the miners consent to a reduction they will either have to introduce machines In the mines or suspend operations entirely for the present. STATE OF MANHATTAN. New Y"?k legislator IlcRinnlng to Conwlder It Seriously. ALBANY, N. Y., March 2S.The proposal to establish the State of Manhattan, includ ing within Its boundaries the territory now Included In the greater city of New York, Is before the Legislature. Assemblyman Tralnor last week introduced two bills with that end in view. The proposition is not entirely a new one. It was first proposed in the days of William M. Tweed. The bills are tho sequence of threats made by Democrats and Republicans alike who have rep resented for the last ten years tho city of New York that unless the city was relieved from paying to per cent, of tho entire taxa-. tlon of the State it would ask to be sepa rated from this State and made an individual body. Since Mr. Tralrior introduced the bills, and since the laugh went around ut their Introduction, there has been a de cided change of sentiment, and there will be a very serious hearing on Thursday next, when the Assembly committee will listen to notable persons advocating the measure.

THE LAURflDA RETURNS

FILWI STFIl SAFELY I) E LI Y EKED HER CARCiO TO ISl RtiE.XTS. General RoiofT Wnn In Chnrge, and the Ammunition Wn for Carda, Second In Command. PHILADELPHIA. March The famous filibustering steamer Laurada arrived In the Delaware last night, after having suc cessfully landed the mo3t Important expedition yet sent from this country to Cuba, and to-night is anchortd In the river below Wilmington. It was shortly after dusk when she slipped past the United States revenue cutter Hamilton and immediately disappeared In the darkness up the bay. The Hamilton had been watching at the breakwater for some time for the slippery filibuster, and shortly after the Laurada had passed In she got under way and to night is off Lewes, Del. Although making no signals, the Laurada came near enough to the reporting stations at the breakwater to be Identified. She had been off the capes all day, but was evidently afraid of the Hamilton and waited until darkness enabled her to slip by unseen. Hope for the Luurada's safety had been practically aban doned by all except those connected with the Cuban Junta. The Laurada left Balti more on Feb. 27 for this city, and when near Cape Henry four boats were taken on board, to be used in landing the war material. Ihxee days afterward she met the schooner Donna T. Brlggs. of Stonington. Conn., and the steam lighter Jennie 11., from New lcrk, loaded with war ma terial, which was transferred to the Laurada's hold, twelve miles off Barnegat. The vessel's prow was then turned toward the West Indie?. The expedition was In charge of Gen. Carlos Roloff. the insurgent minister of war. There were forty others on the Laurada whfn she left, and in her hold were stowed 7.CMJ rifles." 1.7U0.O00 rounds of am munition, twenty-five tons of stick dynamite and a large supply of food and medi cine. The entire expedition was ttttetl out by tho Cuban Junta for General Garcia, tho second in command in the Cuban army, and was landed in the province of Santiago do Cub;i, where a large force had been sent to meet and convey the supplies to the Headquarters of the army in the interior. The Laurada's supply of cor.I ran short. and she was obliged to anchor In the West Indies while waiting for a fresh supply, which was sent to her on the tujr Monarch. from Mobile. Upon receiving the coal she at once started for this city. Among those on board are Mrs. Hughes, the wife of the commander of the vessel. Two detectives, also, are said to be on board, who are be lieved to have kept a daily log of the ves sel's movements. They are thought to have gono in tho guise of hremen. Dalregon' Deutli Invextlfcnted. HAVANA, March 28. The officials an nounce that they have investigated the cir cumstances of the death last autumn at Cartagena of Henry Dabregon, a civil en gineer and a British subject, which original ly was described as a brutal murder com mitted by the Spanish soldiers. They deny tne statement that shortly before he was killed Dabregon had threshed a Spanish of ficer and that the clew to the killing was to be found In the affray. The officials de scribe Dabregon s death as a common crime which has been "Investigated In competent tribunals, and declare that no ill-feeling exists here among the British subjects because of the inactivity of the consular authorities In the matter. Valuable Help for Cuba. WASHINGTON, March 2S. Senor Quesada, of the Cuban legation, to-day stated that he had received official notification of tho landing of a filibustering party on Cu ban soil.

A sample of coke recently made from the coal of Crow's Nest Pass, in the Canadian rockies, has reached the Canadian Pacific Railroad offices here. Kxperts claim that it is fully equal. If not superior, to that made at Connellsville. Mr. Shaugheqessy. vice presi dent of tho Canadian Pacific Railroad, claims that with the Crow's Nest Pass cut off built by themselves, the Canadian Pa cific vill be able to supply the furnaces in British Columbia with this coke at $. per ton. as against a cost of $Jfi at the present time. At Great. Falls, iont., coko today costs $11. CO per ton.

Many are of the opinion that wages will have to be cut. and It is possible that a strike will occur in consequence. ins 1 : x c 1 : l li : x c v lint One American Has the Right to the Title. Leslie's Weeklj. When Mr. Henry White, who has just been appointed first secretary of the em bassy In London, returns to England he will feet much more that he is going hmo than h3 felt four years ago. when he came back to America. Mr. White served a lonir while at the American legation in Iondon. and be doubtless made himself exceedingly useful to the various ministers to whom he was assistant. But Mr. White never succeeded in being even half-way popular with more than about one-half of 1 iK-r cent, of the Americans he came in contact with. He was more English than the English, and 'kowtowed" to the nobilitv in a fashion which seemed to his olservant countrymen as absolutely servile. That was all right in Mr. Henry White the man, if it pleased him, but in the secretary of the American legation it seemed to many as rather humiliating. This was. however, a minor matter which concerned Mr. Henry White more than anyone else. and which did not. in all probability, seriously interfere with his usefulness. But Mr. White had another little habit which hurt his countrymen who had correspond ence with the legation to the quick. When he wrote of the minister he always spoke of him as his Excellency. "Excellencies. as all travelers know, are dirl cheap In Europe, for every liln-ral man rs so called bv all the servants and peasants In Italy and the other Iatln countries, a larger gratu ity thn usual will suffice to promote "his excellency" Into "milord." But "his excel lency comes high in this country', and only one American at a tlm. of all our seventy odd millions. Is entitled to be ho called. That person Is the Governor of Massachusetts. He is ?o by a constitutional provision, of the Commonwealth. Not even

the President of the Fnited States is entitled to be so addressed, though we believe Mr. Charles A. Dana used this form when

applying to Andrew Johnson for an office. This matter was settled more than a century ago in the convention which framed our Constitution. It ousht to have remained settled fcr all of us. including Mr. Henry White. The new embassador. Colonel Hay, is however, so genuine in his Americanism and so sound in his knowledge of American history that it is not likely that he will Irmlt any objectionable practices at the embassy during his term of office. THE WORLD'S WHEAT CROP. Secretary of Anrrleultnre Makes It -Ms,::;i::,ooo linsheU for 1KM1. CHICAGO, March 2D. The Times-Herald Washington special says: The world's wheat crop for lS'JG is 2. 42,393, 000 bushels. This fact will be officially announced by the secretary of agriculture In a report to be issued this week. This important re port will also cover the quality and distri bution of the corn, wheat and oats grown in the United States during the past year. Although- the total wheat crop is IIS.COO.COO bushels less than in 1S05. it is larger than earlier estimates indicated. This is large ly due to an increase of G9, 000,000 bushels in European Russia, as shown in the final estimate of the central statistical bureau over the November estimate of the minister of agriculture of that country. Crop for Is the smallest for six years. The figures given by the Agricultural Dejvartrnent in these tables are official wherever available. Regarding the distribution of the wheat crop of the United States for the report will state: The Increase In price which began In the fall of lsyG .so stimulated s-ales that many parts of the country are )ow left with only guiHcient for feed. All sections re port an exceptionally small per ctntage on hand, the general average being lu.b, against 2G.3 last year, arid showing but lOwj.Ow) bushels in farmers' hands March 1. Cnusually little of the crop or lWo remains but o per cent., against 4.7 per cent. of the 1SU4 crop so held a year ago. A larger proportion that usual must be retained for home consumption. The average percentage so retained is 4S.3. against 41.5 last year, when the inducements to export were weaker. REMNANT OF A MAN. GeorRe II ti rn n t. SnrprlHe to the Ilealdentn of Bedford. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BEDFORD, Ind., March 20.-George Burns, of Philadelphia, stopped over night in this city last night, a physical wreck.

He was thought to be dead, but recovered, except that his heart was transferred from the proper place. and has since been located In the left 6ide, directly under the arm. During the war he serveil as chief engineer on the man of war Essex. Among various Injuries sustained he was shot, tne bullet entering his side. After carrying the bullet all these years. It has come to a position where by surgical operation It can be removed without any risk of losing his life, and for that purpose he is now on his way to a hospital in Chicago. He sustained in juries about the head, necessitating a silver plate of five inches in diameter just over the left ear. ihls he has carried lor many years, leaving him subject to occasional fits, but otherwise unharmed. His right -leg is crippled to the extent that the knee cap, instead of being in front is behind. Four of his ribs in the left side have been re moved, and his left arm injured to the extent that he has only the rise of the thumb and index linger, the rest being paralyzed. He is sixty-three years old, apparently happy and enjoying the surroundings. BLEW OUT THE GAS. Fate of Harry OWell mid Jovepli Mar ker lu 1'ittNburg; Hotel. PITTSBURG, March 28.

UNITED PRESS "BROKE"

GREAT COI'IHACY THAT WAS STARTED TO CORNER ALL MIWJ. Three BIk .ew York Taper Deliver the Death Blow. LenvltiK It wIGi $SOOtOOO of Debt. XEW YORK, March 2S. The World today prints the following account of the fall of the United Press: "The Xew York Herald, the Xew York Tribune, the Xew York limes ami the Evening Telegram withdrew from the Uniteel Press yesterday and signed ninety-year contracts for the news of the Associated Press. An hour later the Philadelphia Record, the Philadelphia Ledger and the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph also deserted the "United Press and joined the Associated Press. This means the absolute collapse of the United Press, Its disappearance, its annihilation. "The Xew York Sun. discredited by the public and bound hand and foot by the shackles of financial slavery, which it has vainly struggled to place upon other newspapers, stands to-day as the only guarantor of the United Press, the only responsible member of a dead news association, having upward of SSQO.OOO of debts. The downfall of the Uniteel Press marks the end of what 1 was Intended to be a "great news trust, which was expected by its projectors to control the dissemination of news in the United States and strangle such publications as would not bow to its will. "The triumph of the Associated Press, on the contrary, is a victory for honest cooperation in news-gathering and distribution under a system which entitles each member of the association to a' fre'e Held and no favors, and makes every newspaper thoroughly responsible for the accuracy of the news furnished. The United Press has been fought aggressively by the World and Its fellow-members of the Associated Press. The end of the battle, which has been a fierce one for tho past three and a half years, is a Waterloo for those who have sought to pervert the powers of a free press. "It has been a disastrous campaign, too, for those who have been supporting or who have been beguiled by the United Press. The United Press has sunk over $SW.U.0 in three and a half years. The burden of this has fallen upon four guarantors. The management of the United Press, which .now ends In complete elisaster, has elevolved upon Charles A. Dana, as president, and William M. La (fan, as manager. Each of the four New York newspapers has sunk about JIGO.OUO in the United Press, which, being conceived in avarice and coercion, was bound to fall. In addition to that the United Press to-day owes the Western Union Telegraph Company about ?207.O0. For months the United Press has been disintegrating, in spile of the efforts of its siHnsors. Almost daily representative papers In the East, South and West have been withdrawing support from it and going ovir to the Associated Press. Most of the 2C7 newspaper subscribers, which it claimed, gave up the service, being certain of the inevitable collapse of the concern. "The last blow for the United Press came with its abandonment by the leading newspaiers of Xew England, the Bobton Herald having led the way last week. This desertion of the United Press by the Xew Engand newspapers was the result of the per sonal work of Victer F. Lawson. president of the Associated Press, anel Melville E. btone. general manager of the Associated Press, who have led in the battle against the United Press sine-e its inception. The Xew England Associated Press, to which the newspapers of repute in that sec tion of th country belong, did business with the United Press unuer a contract which bound it to take the service of the United Press as long as the Xew Yerk Sun. tho Xew York Herald, the Xew York Times and the Xew York Tribune stood a patrons of It. Tho withdrawal or three of the four guarantors the Xew York Herald, the Xew ork Times and the Xew York Tiibune opens the way for every member of the Xew l.ngland Associated Press, or for that organization as a whole, to fret itself from all further obligation to the United Press. A receivership may be found necessary to seme mo eie-uis ot tne uniteel l'ross. " A M Hill CA X PAT K I OT I S M . YiNitlnsr Englishman Observed It Manifestations vtlth Pleasure. Ian Maclaren, in the Outlook. Xo cne cah see the emigrants of virile and high-spirited rac?s cngrafte-d into this new and exuberant stock, or the une-du-eatcd and vicious refuse of Europe deodorized in this strong life without admiration and gratitude, for this is both an evolution and a regeneration of our Western race. Great value ought to be assigned to the undeniable and unflinching patriotism of tne American peoiIe. Englishmen, with their dislike of display and their insular re serve, may make merry over Americans carrying tiny flags about their person and producing tnom on moving eccasions, such as entering Xew York harbor, and may sneer at the custom, to my mind most useful and becoming, of hoisting the stars and stripes on the public schools every morning when the scholars assemble. Manv Americans would themselves consider that tne star-spa ngleil banner is perhaps too much in evidence in smooches and in the national feeling, and might even envy those ancient peoples wno aro so sure of themselves that they do not need to protest in public, but who carry their flag in their heart, and cannot imagine that it could be j forgotten. Ba it remembered, however, that it is a gigantic and critical effort to receive so many foreigners with old traditions into a nation's midst, and that it Is of vital importance to cremate and even inflame the spirit of patriotism, that in its beat with some blaze and smoke, if you please, you superfine people on both sides the various elements may be weldeel Into a national unitv. With vast distances, different Interests, discordant elements, without a court, without neireantrv. without long traditions, a nation needs some symbol vnicn may oe everywhere dispiajeel and round which these scattered, diverse, often anti-pathetlc masses can rally, and It has lKen found in the llacr. where everv Ktnt.. has its star and all frm one constellation. One also is reminded very forciblv in th country of what he has before learned, that American patriotism is fsomtihinj; more man tne waving ot a flair and einouent words. Xo one can viit lioston and Wash ington and allow his historical imagination lull play without realizing after a very vivid fashion with what a price of blond and sacrifice and patience and sore dis couragement this lie public first achieved her independence and afterwards maintained her unity. Twice has this whole people leceived the baptism of blood within a century and within their own borders; twice have they given the last pledge of devotion to their land in the gift of their own children to death. Yet if one were challenged to mention the most convincing illustrations of the patriotic spirit, cleansed from any trace of the war virus, he might fairly point to the attitude of the people after the civil war and their action at last election. Xo doubt there was left much bitterness of feeling in the sixties, and the women of the South may 1- excused for neither forgiving nor forgetting; but one can see that the best men and th mass ef the people must have set themselves to bind up the ope-n wounds of tho Xatlon and to bury out of sight the very memory of a most lamentable tragedy. Xo novelist of any importance has taken the tempting theme of the civil war le st he should make his brethren wince. The elaborate accounts of the war which appear from tlmo to time in the magazines, such as that of (Jen. Horace- Porter, are studiously fuir and void of all often?", and the lafge statue erected nn the bluff above Xew Haven to commemorate the soldiers of that district killed in the war is not. as one would guess on his approaeh. Victory with a laurel leaf, but Peace with an olive branch. If It was patriotic to preserve the political commonwealth unbroken at a great cost it was still liner patriotism to renew the social commonwealth by generosity, forbearance and brotherly feeling. It is also Impossible for a stranger traveling in th States during the last election to resist the conviction that the final Judgment ef the people was based on patriotism. So many w re no doubt hoi estly In favor of Mr. Bryan because, to their mind, he represented the masses, poor, hard wrought, helpless; so many were In faver of Major Mckinley because he represented order and stability; and between these parties It might have been a elrawn battle. The Republican party cbtalred its majority because a large numb r of quiet, sensible, well-doing people belleve-d that the honor of the country was In danger, and resolve-d that, whatever In the end might be the Issue of disputed QUistlons between labor ei.d capital, the I nlt.d States must never do what would be unworthy of h-r name, and that a fractional payment of debt, under any excuse, would be most unworthy. This class, which Is not usually bound uu

with any party, and rejoice in the memorable name of mugwumps, asserted itself, and, being reinforced by Democrats who lored their country more than their party, held the? sca!os in its hands and did righteousness. When men aoandon their, party and others shake t :T political indifference in orJVr to avert a threatened danger to the commonwealth they have given undeniable pledges of patriotism, and deserve credit. What, however, every friendly observer of American affairs must deeply regret is the marked abstinence from polities, federal and municipal, of the leisure! and cultured classes In tho States. If there be any greit crisis they bestir themselves and take part; but In ordinary circumstances they pre for to look out on public life through the leopholes of retreat. Ort gathers that they dislike the company Into which ioliticians are thrown, and the work they would have to do. and the personalities to which they miht ln exnsed. aJid the sacrifices of taste they would havj? to make, and even the rewarJs they would be offered. They refuse te touch public service with their linger-tips. and so it Is too largely left to place-hunters, wire-pullers, and professional politicians, with results which may not be so corrupt as some candid critics allege, but are at legist less than ideal. The patriotic spirit in America, and far too much in ether places also, seems to exercise Itself over great crises, foreign or domestic, and to be indifferent to the conduct of ordinary affairs. When it has it due influence, patriotism will move all classes, without exception, to give ihemselves to the good of the commonwealth, whether In city or national government, without any thought cf personal gain, and it will then cleanse politics from self-seeking and base ir.tticuing and everv ignoble method. In that day and its dawn is In the eastern sky the political "Uiss" who makes and unmakes the rulers of the country at his will coming in between the democracy and their rights will disappear, to the great good both of politics and the nation: and. on the whole now that the civilservice has been reformed.) the worst feature in American politics Is the "boss." who is the power behind the throne, and of whom no one says any good thing.

March 2S.Iol iceman John Clark, of the Harrison pelie-e department, attempted to dislodge a dangling telegraph or telephone wire which rested against an iron post, on Harrison avenue, this morning. When he touched the wire it swung towards him and hit him in the fne-e. The next moment he was a corpse, in the arms ol Sergeant Kennedy, who had Inen standing behind him. The wire had been ' resting against a live electric-wire above, and ejlark received the full shock of about live thousand volts. He did not utter a groan, so quickly did death come. Tho only mark 1 ft by the wire was a livid streak across the left cheek. An to Hallway Pooling. To the Editor of the Indianai-olls Journal: I find this paragraph In the editorial columns of to-day's Journal: "Jf. with the approval of the Interstatecommerce Commission, competiiiR lines ef railroad should agree upon rates for carriage betwe-en certain points which should be reasonable and yet high enough to enable the corporations to pay fixed charges and a moderate return on the actual Investment, what injury could it be to the business of the country? There can be no real gain to anybody in a competition which practically destroys values in railroad proierty." The principle involved Is all wrong and against economic equality. It is not the business of government to decide what U or what is not a fair price for anything. All corporate bodies should be subject to the natural trade law of the survival of tho fittest, sucty as all other unfavored business Interests contend with. Xo interference with natural economic trafiic laws can safely be permitted in their behalf. Hallroads, esiec!ally, are continually asking5 special legislation, amounting in effe-ct to chartered monopolies, w hich, if granted, always throttles competition. Justice Peckham. In his recent opinion, aptly declared "that a reasonable rate cannot be maintained if competition is barred." Theso great moneyed cemcerns, such as peols, trusts, etc., exercising an undue power in politics, have, through legislation and, in some cases, through technicalities of courts, escaped their fair obligations to the State and secured advantage to which noiKKiy else is entitled. While It is "no real gain to .anybody to have railroad values destroyed by competition," yet competition always has been a necessary .self-adjusting, natural commercial law that iinally works out results beneficial to all, but when restrained or barred, the power controlled by a few able men has usually been grossly abused to the injury of the publie at large. Restraint of competition is a forced and unnatural condition. Artificial and unjust legislative props to established monofwily Is an outrage on the rights of the citizen, feeding: the iires of riotous anarchistic Populism, which, if Ioiik continued, will finally end In disaste r to orderly government.
