It is an undisputed fact that the hand
somest vestibule trains that are now
run on the American continent are those
on the "Burlington Route," leaving
the Union Depot in Denver, also St.
Paul, immediately on arrival of all
through trains from the west. The first
and second class coaches are magnifi
cent, h& Reclining chair oars superb,
the Eullniau sleepers extremely luxuri
ant, and as for the meals that are served
in those Palace Burlington dining cars
yum-yum. The next time you go east
to Kansas City.Chicago or St. Louis, if
yon mention to the ticket agent that
you want your ticket to read from" Den
ver or St. Paul oyer the Burlington
Route, you will get it, and.you will al
ways be glad of it.
If you go via the Northern or Canadi
an Pacific, the elegant vestibule trains
of "The Burlington Route," between St.
Paul, Chicago and St. Louis will carry
you along the eastern shore of the Miss
issippi river for a distance of 350 miles,
amidst scenery that cannot be surpass
ed; or, if you go via the Oregon Short
Line or Southern Paoiflc, and your ticket
reads via "The Burlington Route,'' from
Cheyenne or Denver, you will pass
through all the thriving cities and towns
located in what is popularly known as
the ' Heart of the Continent. r or fur-

New Orleans, April 23. In this city
to-day the lake water encroached some
what again north ot Claiborne street,
and some trouble was experienced by
water from the canal flowing over the
banks of ibe old basin. No serious dam
age has been done yet.
News of additional crevasses near Ba
ton Ronge and Bayou Sara lead to the
belief here that the disaster to the sugar
belt will equal that ot 1871, when nine
parishes were inundated, unless. the wa
ter recedes quickly.
Speriutendent Spellman, of the Shell
Beach Railroad, says there are eleven
breaks on the west bank between St,
Sophie and Point a la Roohe. The Lou
isville and Nashville railroad is over
flowed at Michoo station, fourteen miles
from New Orleans, and all trains are
abandoned. Last night's wind caused
the water to aiaiu encroach upon the
rear of this city, but no serious damage
has been done. The Texas & Pacific's
tracks are being overflowed from t
break in the west bank above Port Allen
Texas & Pacific trains will be run over
the Southern Pacific to Oheneville, i
point beyond the submerged disrict.
A Times-Democrat Bayou Sara spe-
oial says : Seven crevasses were report
ed to-day between this place and Water
loo. This makes nine on the Pointe
Coupee front The devastation in that
southwestern parish will be terrible.
The rain continues. Last night it pour
ed down in torrents, causing a freshet in
the bayou and a rise of five inohes ia the
town. This additional rise caused more
damage to goods in stores. The opening
of the orevasses, however, let consider
able water out this evening, and it fell
twelve inches in town. The railroad
trestle has been washed away, and the
ODly communication with the main line
now is by boat.
Bayou Sara, La., April 23. Another
break occurred last night in the Pointe
Coupee levee. Indications are that the
entire Pointe Coupee front will be sub
merged. Water is pouring through the
crevasses at Morganza and the vicinity.
It will overflow the greater portion of
the oountry between the Atohafalaya
and Mississippi rivers, extending from
Old river above to Bayou La Fourohe
below, embracing 700 square miles. No
news is received from the interior of
Pni'ot Crztup. nnrish hnt- re!jr r
are taking care of all hose who reached
the levees. As the critical condition of
the levees has been known for some
weeks, hope is entertained that all have,
in a measure, prepared for the worst and
and that no loss ot life will result from
the breaks along the front.
Plaque.mlne, La., April 23. Rain
came down in .torrents last night, and
for the twenty-four hours ending this
morning six inches of water fell. The
town is filled with people from the coun
try, some bringing in families and cattle,
and others seeking material to fight the
flood. Planters base their calculations
on the flood of 1882, but the water is al.
ready higher than that now.
Houston, Texas, April 23. Continu
ous rains have fallen over Texas for three
days past. The rivers and bayous in
many plaoes are over their banks, bridg
es swept away and travel delayed. A
great deal of stock in the lowlands has
been drowned, but no loss of life is yet
reported.
Natchez, Miss, April 23. The levee
below Yidalia broke lust night, and wa
ter has flooded the low lands and the
railroads and is backing np toward the
town.
Bayou Sara, La., April 24. The real
condition of- things in the overflowed
district is just coming to light. No pen
is equal to the task of picturing the de
vastation of the country or the desola
tion of the people. The entire front of
Pointe Coupee is under water, and most
of the levee is gone. The water back of
the levee is so deep that hundreds of
lives are in jeopardy. Small stretches
of the levee sti 1 staudiug are .crowded
with men, women and children, side by
side with horses, mules and cows. In an
old raised ginhouse 500 nogroes are hud
dled together. The condition of the un
fortunate blacks is pitiable. They are
piteously begging to be taken to some
place of safety.
The orevasse at Allendale will over
flow thirty of the finest plantations on
the river. It will reach the Teche coun
try several days in advanoe of the Mor
ganza water, and Colonel Rivers says
that when this water joins with the Mor
ganza it will flood the entire Atabafalya,
LaTourohe and Teche countries. The
damage is incalculable.
The distress in the overflowed district
cannot be told. Texas & Pacific boats
succeeded yesterday in saving 200 people
from the back country aronud Morgan
za.
Ruin and desolation meet one on every
hand in Pointe Coupee parish. The de
struction is complete. Not a levee is un
broken, while hundreds of families are
homeless. Thousands of stook have
been drowned, and from meager reports
received from the interior it is quite
probable that human life has been sacri
ficed to the flood.
Standing on the deck of the relief
steamer Dakota last evening, the full ex
tent of the disaster could be seen- Group
ing together on ht'le knolls between the
brokea levees, through which the water
rushed with ungovernable fury, were
scores of people, both wbifrs and black,
some with babies in their arms, while
others had dogs secured by a cord
Many of them had nothin g else in the
wunu except me clothes thev wore on
on their backs. Whenever the Dakota
discovered a scene like this a stage was
swung out and the stricken ones taken
auuuru. jcquaiiv as sad a scene was
poor, dumb cattle standing in the water
actually starving.
A family named Luke, consisting of
15 persons, were rescned by the Dakota.
They owned a laree plantation, a well
filled store, and a hundred head of stock.
A crevasse sixty feet long occurred right
in front of their house Monday, and a
flood destroyed all their property. The
family narrowly escaped but managed to
reach the levee above the break. Many
similar heart-rending eoenes were wit
nessed. When the Dakota reached
Bayou Sara to-day she had 1000 head of
cattle and 500 people aboard. After
landing them she started on another re
lief trip. President Glynn, of the police
jury, says thirteen parishes will be over
flowed in that distriot.
TO THE MEMORY OF WASHINGTON.
8eere!&ry Blaine Explain, to the Disappoint
edSonth What. Delegate Says.
Washington, April 23. The pan
American delegates, accompanied by a
number of state department officers,
paid a visit to Mount Vernon this morn
ing. The Dispatch was at their disposal,
and after visiting Washington's tomb,
thev took a short run down the Potomac
The party returned this afternoon. Sec
retary Blaine accompanied the party. "
Secretary Blaine yesterday directed
the following message to be sent to the
various committees in the South that
had prepared to entertain the delegates
to tie international American confer
ence: Ihe secretary of state desires me to
express his regret that the Southern ex
cursion of the internatronal oonference
had to be abandoned, as there would be
but one foreign delegate iu the party af
ter leaving Richmond and great uncer
tainty whether others would join later,
He thanks you sincerely for the hospi
tality you extended tbem and the trouble
you have taken to arrange for their en
tertainment, and hopes that you will ap
preciate the circumstances and reasons
by which he is governed."
San Francisco, April 23. M, M. Estee,
delegate to the pan.American conference,
returned to this city to-day. Being ask
ed for his opinion upon the results of
the great historical convention, in which
he has lately participated, Mr. Estee
said:
Apparently the Pan-American congress
has accomplished more than I ever ex
pected it would. W7hat has been done,
cannot in my judgment, fail to foster
friendly relations between the United
States and other American republics. It
cannot but result in building up the
oommerce of this nation and furnish a
more extended market for American
pi Jfrrnu.r Bevnnd all . dnnbf f lip rela
tions estumiuuea or tuo iniuii-uuiuo oi
tbe delegates to the congress, will be of
great advantage, not only to us, but to
oar Southern neighbors.
The South Amerioan lepublics pro-
dace many things that we must buy,
Bu- b as coffee, India rubber, chincbona,
etc. We manufacture many things they
mast have, and they must purohase of
us or go to Europe. At present we are
their best customers. Last year we
bought 36 per cent, of the entire exports
of the South American republics. There
seems to be no reason why they should
not be our best customers. At present
the trade is largely against us. In my
opinion the congress will result largely
in establishing an equilibrium. Com
posed of all the best men ot South Ameri
ca, their influence when they return
home cannot fail to be felt everywhere.
IN THE SENATE.
To Secure Honest Election Land
Grant
Forfeiture.
Washington, Apr 24.The bill to trans
fer the revenue service to the treasury
derailment was taken up and the com
mittee's amendment agreed to.
Pending consideration of the revenne
cutter bill the committee on privileges
and eleotious reported, as an original
measure, the bill to amend and to sup
plement the election laws of the United
States, and provide for efficient enforce
ment of such laws. Plaoed on the cal
endar. Pugh said every democratic member
of the committee opposed a favorable re
port qp this bill, which he sid appoints
republican supervisors to oversee state
officers, thereby insulting and degrading
these state officers. It is subversive of
the fundamental principles, of self gov
ernment. If the bill beoomes a law its
execution will insure the shedding of
blood and the destruction of the peace
and good order of the country.
Hoar replied:
The bill is in substance a modification
and perfection of the system which has
been a law of the United States many
years, and which has secured in the main
honest elections and honest counts in
the city of New York, where before it
60,000 fraudulent naturalization papers
had gone out from two judges in three
days before an election. The bill is but
an assertion of the constitutional pow
er expressly asserted that the United
States may regulate the manner of elect
ing members of its own congress or
alter the regulations of a state.
Consideration of the revenue outter
bill was resumed, and Sherman opposed
it.
The land forfeiture bill was taken up
as unfinished business, and the amend
ments reported from the committee on
public lands agreed to.
Berry moved to amend the first section
of the bill by striking out the word
"now" and inserting the words "within
the time specified in the act of congress
making the grants." The effect of the
amendment, he said, would be not only
to forfeit portions ot land opposite the
the lines not now constructed, but would
forfeit all the lands granted railroad
companies where the lines were not pom.
pleted withi the time fixed- in the aot
and in snbseqnent extensiqn of it. Af-
ter some debate the amendment was re
jected, the republicans voting in the neg
ative. Some other amendments were consid
ered and laid on the table, and the sen
ate then adjourned.
PETER AND JOHN.
The Black
Accepts Promptly The White
Makes No Response.
San Francisco, April 23. President
Fulda this morning telegraphed John L.
Sullivan as follows:
The California club has voted a $20,
000 purse for youself and Jackson. Do
you acoept
The colored champion was also sent a
similar message.
Chicago, April 23. The fact that the
California Athletic Club bad agreed on a
$20,000 purse was telegraphed Peter
Jackson to-day, and the answer came
promptly: "I accept those terms." Sul
livan's answer is now awaited.
San Francisco, April 23. President
Fulda, of the California Ateletic Club,
reoeived a dispatch from Peter Jackson's
manager this rfternoon, stating that
Jackson accepted the club's offer of $20,
000 for a fight with Snllivan.
Boston, April 23. The announcement
of the final offer of the California Ath-
letio Club to make a purse of $20,000 for
Sullivan and Jackson was received by
the ohampion without especial interest.
The offer of the California to make the
purse $20,000 is entirely satisfactory to
him, and although he declines to talk
yet, it is well known to his intimates
that he will fight Jackson on the terms
named.
EARTHQUAKE IN CALIFORNIA.
Clocks Stop, Dishes Break, Walls Tremble,
t nimneys Fall and Bridges Settle.
San Francisco, April 21. Probably
the severest earthquake experienced in
San Francisco since 1868 was felt at 3:35
this morning. No damage has been re
ported. Reports which are coming in
show that the shook was felt north
south and east of San Francisco for a
distance of eighty miles.
In banta Clara county there were two
shocks at Los Gatos and Mountain View
Clocks were stopped and crockery brok
en at both places.
At Cilenwood, Santa Cruz county,
there were several light shocks besides
the big one. The sky became blaok and
a slight shower of rain fell. The ground
was craoked in several places.
At Boulder creek, in the same county,
the shock is reported as having been
particularly heavy, breaking dishes and
rolling babies oat of their cradles.
A number of people in the Paoific
Ocean bouse at Santa Cruz ran out Into
the street.
Many panes of glass in stores on Pa
cific avenue were broken. The brick
wall of Wood's business college was
cracked and the moulding in several
stores was shaken down.
At Watsonville, chimneys were shak-
the Southern Paoific railroad, was shak
en out of plaoe so that trains could not
cross this morning.
At San Juan the wall of the Catholic
convent, containing about ninety chil
dren, was thrown down. No one was re
ported injured or killed. The old Cath
olic mission church at the same place
badly cracked and damaged, as
were numerous private residences.
Along the wharves the effects of the
two decided shocks were very appreci
able, and caused great alarm. JUBt be
fore daylight there are usually but few
people about, and only one or two of the
all-night sajoona and three or four resr
taurants are open. A speotator was
walking along the street when the first
trembling of the earth was felt. He Baid
that before the succeding shock oame
every saloon and restaurant was emptied
of its occupants, who tumbled out like
shot from a gun and rushed into the
street, some of them being greatly fright
ened.
On the water it is said the effects of
the repeated shocks were as noticeable aa
upon the land. A sailor of the United;
States cruiser Charleston says the great
cruiser trembled like a leaf from stem to
stern, and many of the crew hurridiy
came upon deck, aroused by the move
ment ot the vessel and supposing a
storm was passing over the bay. "The
water," said the sailor, "was sensibly dis
turbed, and the waves washed against
the cruiser's sides for a little time and
then fell again. A four-master nea.r hy
was observed to sway during the shocks,
but the effects lasted but a few moments.
Wooden wharves seemed to rise and fall
again in an alarming way, and parties
who were describing their experiences
said they fled for their lives to the solid
road, as they thought the wharves would
certainly sink.
THE CHINESE PUZZLE.
How Can the Government Guard the Frontiarr
Washington, Aprjl 23. In view of the
defeat of the Chinese census enumeration
bill the facinc coast representatives are
consulting as to what will be the next
best thing to do. Many senators who
voted to cripple the enumeration bill by
amendments have since stated that they
objected to the tagging of Chinese like
dogs, but would favor an out-and-out
exclusion bill. These expressions make
it probable that the old Morrow bill, ab
solutely debarring all persons except di
plomatic officers and agents of the Chi
nese government from entering the conn-
try, will be taken up and pushed. It
was introduced on January 20 last and
referred to the foreign affaire oom-
mittee of the house, where it has sinoe
slumbered undisturbed.
Important Arrest of Counterfeiters.
Chicago, April 24. An important ar
rest of counterfeiters was made to-day.
Robert Thompson and William F. Fur
bert were caught in the act of passing a
dangerous counterfeit silver certificate,
purporting to be issued by the German
National Bank, of NewYork, with which
portions of the country have been flood
ed for months, the counterfeiters out
witting the detectives everywhere.
Thompson and Furbert had, oyer ?i00
in bogus stuff qn their persons when
caught. They were passing the billa on
saloon-keepers, who have identified the
men.
