MILLIONS FOR LEVEES. ' Why Mot H. a Portion of This Waaay fur ltrviMr.r The hiatory of levee construction on the Mnisiaidppl river has been a long one. The tlrat levee was begun in 1717, which was, when completed, on mile long, erected to protect New Or leans, then a mere village. This levee was tour feet hiuh and 18 feet across at the top. It was not, . howxver, until after Louisiaua had been ceded to tbe United States that levee construction was begun on a large scale. A the work progressed u'p the river and addi tional basius and 1 Kit torn s were en closed, the levees necessarily iuoreased in height. The average height of the levees in Louisiana above New Orleans, Is now between 18 and 18 feet, and this heigh, proved insufficient in the great Hood of 1807. This Hood indicates to the otticial engineers that three or four loot additional will be required. ' Fortttitts Appropriated. Million and millions of dollars have been appropriated by the federal gov ernment for the building of these levee and other constructions intended to protect the surrounding country Irom floods, and millions more must be ap propriated by every congress to come uuIbks other steps are taken to prevent these floods. These measure ot the government are merely palliative; they do not go to the root of the evil. The report of Captain Hiram Chittenden, of the government engineer ooips, how ever, shows that there 1 a way to strike at the trouble itself, and largely prevent the flood instead of trying to enclose them between bank alter they have become such. Storage Kfsrvolrs. He shows in his oiiicial report that, by the building of a series of great storage reservoirs at the head waters of tns Missouri, floods can be prevented through the diverting of the excess of water into these artificial lake. Surely this is something for congress to give its attention to. Here is a practical plan. An ounce of preven tion is worth a ponui of oure. Con gress will go ahead appropriating mil lions every session for flood prevention without a question, but it will not ap propriate the same amount lor a plan, which, according to the government's own engineers, promises far greater re sults. Of course, the storing of ttase reservoirs would mean tho reclamation ol lurge tracts of land to irrigation; but this need not worry congress, even its Eastern members, for the Kastern merchants are already alive to the situ ation, and realise that the reclamation of the arid West would open to them the finest market in the world. GUY E. MITCHELL. Confessed to Kobberr. " San Francisco, Oct. 8. A man giv ing the name of Frank W. Travers bas surrendered himself to the police, al leging that he robbed hi brother, D. ;.

A FURTHER CONCESSION, till tbe Miners tufas to Ketura ta . Work. Philadelphia, Oct. 6. -There were no developments of special importance today In th miners' strike. An in teresting feature was the Reading Com pany's notice to it employe that in addition to its offer of a 10 iei cent in crease, it was willing to enter into arbitration with them relative to any grievance they may have. None of the strikers, however, ha yet indicated sn intention to return to work. Af fair were extremely quiet today throughout the anthraoita legion.

There remains but one regiment, a buttery of artillery and a company of mounted troops. A secret conference of the leading officials of the miners' organization was held at Hazleton. At its conclusion, President Mitchell said the question of calling a joint convention had not been considered. He 'added that out of 143,000 mineworkers, only about 6,000 Sr at work, and these, he aaid, would be out in a short time. The time limit of the Lackawanna Company's offer of increased wanes will expire tomorrow, but strikers generally express their determination to pay no heed to th offer. BATTLE IN ASHANTEE.
