Government Sends Aid.
Jfemphis, March ‘23.— The feeling of
hope that was produced yesterday and
last night by the Mississippi river com*
ing to a standstill at this point was dis­
paile* 1 today by the occurrence of tw
additiomial breaks in tbe St. Francis
levee north of the first crevasse at
T rice 's Landing, Arc., and tbe grave
reports that are being received from
Miss: ssippi points as well as by a rise
o f pne tenth of a foot here. Today the
St. 1 rancia levees gave nay at Random
Shot and Shawnee village, Ark., tbe
flrat about 42 and tbe second about 36
miles from Memphis. Both creviiBaes
are reported to be serious, the one at
Shaw nee being the worst.
The two
breaks will probably increase Blightly
the water in the territory of the Arkan­
sas! which was flooded by the break at
Trice’s landing and in addition they
are flooding a vast scope of country
which has thus far been free from any
large amount of water. The situation
therefore in Arkansas is more grave
than at any time during the flood. Re­
lie f measures have been and must be
lor several days completely inadequate,
the long line of levees that guard the
river front of Mississippi and protect
the vast and fertile delta region of that
state, and which have thus far stood
firm against the great Hood, are report­
ed to be in a critical condition at many
points, and news of disasters from that
•country will not be burprising.
At
points tbe water is sweeping through
thei embankments, flooding villages and
plantations, and at other places tbe
embankment is overtopped by the flood
and enormous quantities of water are
being discharged into the country.
The most encouraging feature of to-
night is the fact that the river has re­
mained stationary all day and that a
falling stage is reported from St. Louis,
Cairo and other points on the Missis­
sippi and its tributaries.
The stage
this morning was 40.1 feet, a rise of .1
in 12 hours.
The stage haH not
changed during the day.
It is hoped
that the fall w ill begin tonight or to­
morrow. Two new breaks ton the Ar­
kansas shore are thought to be having
a considerable influence on the stage
and the water being discharged through
themjtnd the first crevasse could bold
the river in check here. For this reas­
on thè standing stage is not received
with the satisfaction that it might oth­
erwise give.
BEEF TRUST ROASTED.

•OBfter proceedings brought by the at­
torney general of Missouri against the
a llv e d beef combine last summer, were
ifined $5,000 each in the Missouri su­
preme court today and ordered to pay
thefecosts of the case, which amount to
$5,000. Unless the fines and costs are
paid within 30 days the defendants
w ill be ousted from th e ; state, so the
court orders. The decision of the su-
**MÌne court, which was announced by
Judge Marshall, was unanimous. The
-opikion says:
"T h e testimony introduced by the
was abundant to show that the
indents (packers) were members of
ibination or pool to fix and main-
prices.”
e opinion holds that the evidence
ined at tbe hearinvs shows conclu-
that there was a combination of
ackers to maintain trust prices on
in Missouri; that the represents-
of the packers met on certain dates
,x the prices for the week; that re-
jng was done; that the same prices
ailed at all the coolers at the same
; that no competitor could enter
field against the packers because
combine would undersell tbe new­
er out of business,
ihat opinion does not take up the
ge made in the proceedings by the

the companies did sell diseased

of the state.
To Organize General Staff.
Washington, March 23.— The war
rtment today issued a general order
vening a board to meet in th i. city
ch 30 to recommend the detail of
officers from tbe army at large to
‘ stitute the personnel of the general

sion, appointed by President Roosevelt,
have filed with the president unani­
mous recommendations and a final re­
port.
Although the commission’ s re­
tort w ill not be made public until to­
morrow, enough is known of its recom­
mendations to permit a review of the
material features.
Not only is an increase of 10 per cent
in wages granted to the miners, bnt
new regulations in weighing coal, it is
said, will reallv make the increase
much larger, as the] w ill preclude men
from being compelled to mine more
than a ton to get pay only for a ton,
as at present.
Another point decided by the com­
mission is that the mine operators must
fix the day’s work at eight houra for
every miner.
The miners also gain another point
of their contention in being recognized
with checkers of their own for coal as
mined.
By the system of dockage
the miners assert the operators hereto­
fore have overburdened the workmen
with rebates, which materially re­
duced their actual income.
Bo the real issue raised by the miners
when they went on strike is granted by
the commission. Less work, more pay
and less interference on the part of the
mining operator's sums up this feature
of the commission’s report.
The report also contains a provision,
it is said, for the settlement of all fu­
ture troubles between
miners and
operators by adjudication by a commit­
tee of the two parties to the contro­
versy.
By this provision, it is under­
stood, the Miners’ union is directly re­
cognized, and this again is regarded as
a victory for President Mitchell and
organized labor.
The commissioners
condemn the boycott.
BIQ SHIPS FOR PACIFIC.
Two Great Steamers Bought by Pacific
Mail Steamship Company.
Philadelphia, March 20.— The two
largest steamships ever laid down ou
the Delaware river have been bought
from the International marine company
by the Pacific Mail steamship company.
They are the Minnelora and the Minne-
kahta, each between 12,000 and 13,000
tons burden and 26,560 tons displace­
ment.
They are sister ships of the
Minnetonka and Minnehaha, of the
Atlantic transport company.
They were ordered from the New
York shipbuilding company abont a
year and a half ago, before the Atlan­
tic transport company’ s absorption by
the marine combine.
The price at
which they were sold to the Pacific
Mail steamship company has not been
made public, but it is understood to he
an advance over that paid for the A t­
lantic transport vessels, which is be­
lieved to have been $1,600,000. It is
expected that one of the ships w ill be
launched in June and the other in Au­
gust. Both will be ready for service
before the end of the year.
The new steamers will undoubtedly
ply between Ban Francisco and Hono­
lulu, Manila and Japan. In all proba­
bility their names will be changed
when they are launched.
OPPOSITION IN COLOMBIA.
All W ill Not Be Smooth for Canal Treaty
In Their Congress.
Colon, March 20. — The ratification
of the Hay-Herran Panama canal con­
vention by the United States senate
has caused much jubilation among tbe
isthmians supporting
the
Panama
route. There are, however, many cleai
indications from the department of Bo­
livar and other points in the Colombian
republic that the ratification of the
treaty will certainly meet with strong
opposition in the Colombian congress.
A memorial adverse to the treaty,
addressed to congress, which w ill meet
toward the end of May, is now being
signed by influential men at Carta­
gena.

Explosion Ruins Mine.
CardiB, III., March 20.— The fire
resulting from the recent explosions in
the CardiB coal mine has burned the
shaft timbers, and creeping to the sur­
face has destroyed the engine and ma­
chine room. The mine is flooded and
w ill be abandoned. No attempt will
probably be made to recover the re­
maining bodies. The loss to the Car­
dia coal mining company by the ex­
plosion and abandonment of the mine
will be upwards of $76,000. Four hun­
dred miners were employed. The pay­
roll of the mine was $30,000 per month.

when the result was annrunced, so
that only tbe senators themselves and
a few confidentai employes were pres­
ent. All the senators announced them­
selves as gratified to have the long
struggle terminated, bnt none of them
manilested his appreciation by cheers
or handclapping. On the contrary, all
of them were more concerned about get­
ting away from the chamber than any­
thing else, so by the time the senate
could adjourn, which it did almost im­
mediately after the result was an­
nounced, most of the senators bad left
their seats and some of them had
donned their hats and overcoats.
The day was given up almost entirely
to general debate on the treaty, and, in
addition to the set speeches made under
the agreement by Morgan and Cullom,
there were many short addresses and a
rather long speech bv Daniel of Vir­
ginia. The only party vote of the day
was taken on tbe substitute for article
IV , which was agreed uopn by tbe
Democratic caucus, and had reference
to the acquisition of territory in Cent­
ral and South America by the United
States.
There were a number of
speeciies on this amendment, but it was
voted down by an almost two-tbirdi
majority, the ballot footing up 51 ayes
and 25 noes.
When the senate ad­
journed at 7 o’clock,, there was a gen­
eral belief that the business of the ses­
sion would be completed in time to
permit final adjournment today. Some,
however, placed the date 24 houra
later.

are entered through tall Venetian doors.
The hall Is 16 feet wide and opens at
the rear on a wide gallery, on which
the wings also open. The room to the
right as the hall Is entered from the
front was Miss Winnie’s room. What
a Mecca this room will be for the veter­
ans, and how they will cherish every­
thing that belonged to the “ Daughter
o f the Confederacy.”
Equally distant from the mansion,
east and west, are quaint little cot­
tages. Originally there was only one
room in each, surrounded on the four
sides by wide galleries. Later one and
two sides have been Inclosed, giving
two additional rooms. It Is about the
east cottage that the principal interest
centers, for it was in this that Mr. Da­
vis studied and wrote, and where Miss
Winnie did much of her early literary
work. The main room of this cottage
was Mr. Davis’ private library. The
walls are lined with book shelves, and
a little gallery runs along the upper
shelves. This was reached by a small
ladder. Near the fireplace Is where Mr.
Davis’ desk stood, and the door beside
it Is spattered with Ink thrown from
his pen when he was writing his book.
“ The Rise and Fall of the Confederate
Government.” The east room has been
enclosed, and in this room the chieftain
was wont to recline and rest on a sofa.
Back of this was a tiny room where
Miss Winnie wrote. It is a real girl’s
den, and Is yet quite characteristic of
the former fair occupant.
The west cottage was occupied by
Mrs. Ilayes, the older daughter, and
her children when visiting her parents.
The Beauvoir home was bequeathed
by will to Jefferson Davis by Mrs.
Sarah Anna Dorsey, of Louisiana.

MINERS REJECT TERMS.
Would Rather Have Eight-Hour Day Than
Increase In W ages.
Altoona, Pa., March 19.— The coal
operators of bituminous district No. 2
submitted their ultimatum to the min­
ers today. It was briefly an offer of an
increase of 12H per cent for pick min­
ing, an increase of 14 per cent for ma­
chine mining and a nine hour day at
$2.70 per day for drivers, other mine la­
borers to receive proportionate in­
crease. The miners promptly 'ejected
tbe offer.
In refusing a nine hoar day on a ba­
sis of $2.70 a day and insisting upon
an eight hour day on a basis of $2.5«
a day on a tonnage of 28,000,000 tons
annually, the miners voted to relin­
quish $1,100,000 in wages annually to
enforce the eight hour day.
The opposing sides will meet in joint
