LABOR TROUBLES IN CHICAGO BREAK IN THE MORGANZA. It ls the Most Important Level om the Mis- sissippi River—The Great Flood. New Onveans, La., May 10.—The news of the breaking of the Morganza levee, which reached hero Inte lest night, caused considerable excitement. This is the most import- ant levee of the Mississipp! river and is the largest in the world. Itia the key levee to the whole state, It is sit- uated near Pointe Coupe, in the very avaiee of Louisiana, Its broak is an awful calamity, for its situation is yuch that it is utterly impossible to close any breach, ‘This levee broke in 1884, when it caused $10,000,000 damage. It was y broken in 1890. The damage will be enormous and in the hborhood of $6,000,000 or $9,090,000. Teche country, the best sugur landw in the eouth, will be utterly destroyed. ‘Thirteen —— will suffer and there can be no crepy year. St. Joseru, Mo., May 10.—Farmers and their families are eneamped on the hill«, where they were compelled to flee with all their Ii tock. All farm work has been entirely al ned, owing cropu have been destroyed, and, un- the rain ceases and bright weatber ensues, ‘the loss will be incalculable. At Oregon, Mo.,the Nodaway river is two and a half miles wide and much stock is perishing. At Farkio, Mo., a steady ruin hus fallen since Saturday night, At Plattsburg the flood has almost entivel cut the city off from the outvide world. Bot! of the railroads are water bonnd. At Agency about 200 yards of track bus been washed out between the depot and tbe river bridge cast of town, ‘The ontire valley from bluff to bluff i now a browd expanue of water and the volume is increasing hourly. A rise of three feet more and the town of Agency will be under water. ‘The river at Louisiana is now seventeen feet above low water mark, only five inches below the reeord of 1888, when the levee broke, caus- ing a loss of over $1,000,000 to the farmers on the Illinois vide. Stock of all kinds is in a perilous situation on the Missouri side. ‘The Misnivsippl river is out of its banks above and below Hannibal, Hundreds of acres of the finest farming lands aro inundated. All the houses in the bottoms are under wate: and the ocenpants have taken refuge on the bluffa, ‘The trains on the ““K” road make only four miles an hour, aa the track is under water, ‘The track of the Wabash road at Chillicothe is inundated. The water is rising slowly and shonld it goa foot higher it will eut off the water supply of the city. Reports from parts of Arkansas, Tennessee lississippi ate to the effect that the rain has been general and in- coasant for twenty-four houre and that much anxiety ig felt by planters. Touepo, Oxto, May 10.—The Maumee river has been higher for the last week than it has been since the big flood of 1888. The heavy rains have swelled ite tributaries, ‘The farmers along the river have suffered much by the wash- ing away of live stock and fencing and the over- flow of their farms. —>——_ CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS. New Haven. New Havex, Coxs., May 10.—The demo- cratic state convention was called to order in the Hyperian Theater at 10 o'clock this morn- ing by Clinton B. Davis, chairman of the state central committee, Indge Walsh of New Brit- ain was then introduced as temporary chairman. Judge Walsh made a speech devoted uininly to state affairs, With regard to the selection of the delegates Tudge Waleh said that they ought te go un- trammeled and unpledged by any instructions or conditions, and if 80 the convention could t that their choice would be overwhelm- ingly approved at the polls at the November election. ‘The committees on resolutions and creden- tials retired at 11 o'clock. CHEERS FOR CLEVELAND. The committee on credentials reported that there were no contesting delegations, Gen. E. E. Bradley of New Haven, who was chosen as permanent chairman, delivered a speech. ‘The mention of the name of Cleveland in Mr. Bradley's speech aroused unbounded enthu- sinem. The delegates rose in their seats, cheered and threw up their hats, and when it subsided three cheers were called for and given lustily to the ex-President. But the echo had not died away when # Hill man called for three cheers for the Senator from 1 New York and then there was more cl enthusiasm which greeted Cleveland's name. There were even some hisses at the name of Hill. The platform demands a revision of the tariff along the lines of the national platfoun o} fand the removal of the dutios on raw materials, It also demands a staple currency of gold, silver and paper, founded upon coined money of the least objectionable fluctuation value, pacmemaswetnes ae TO REPLACE THE STRIKERS. Arrival at the World’s Fair Grounds of More Iron Workers. Cmrcaao, May 10.—One hundred iron workers from Pittsburg reached South Chicago to- day on their way to the world’s fair grounds to take the place of the striking structural iron workers there. Police Capt. Jenkins and ten patrolmen met the party and escorted it to Jackson Park. A demonstra- tion of the strikers had been expected, but the union men gtood silently by and saw ‘the new men take up the work on the manufacturers’ Punentwas a rtquor that a car loed of tron workers from Circinnati on their way to the world’s fair grounds had been switched off at 104th street by union gwitchmen to. prevent their going to work.

The Secretary of the Troasury bas been put fn @ somewhat embarrassing position in the matter of the Kock Cree Park payments. At the instance of tha cbairman of the House appropriations 4 few days ago opon tbe notii 8 resolution of inquiry is pending, the Secretary suspended payments for the property to be tuken by the government.

WHAT JUGDE HOLMAN wavs. Speaking of the decision of the court in the Rock Creck Park matter Judge Holman said that he supposed that the Secretary of the ‘Treasury woutl withhold the payments for a reasonable time and sce what Congress would do xbont the investigation. Of eonrse, he suid, it is mot to be supposed that the Secretary of the Treasury will with- hold the payments for the purpoxo, merely, of seeing whether or not Congress will re- the law. Hy said there was only one prece- lent for withholding the payment, and that was in the case of the purchase of the’ grounds for Fort Brown. In exorbitant price had been authorized to be paid and by the action of Congress the price was reduced and no title could be given so the matter hung up and the War Department refused to spend the money until Congress should decide definitely what should be done. Judge Holman said that next Monday, which is suspension Monday, he would attempt to = the resolution for an ‘investiga tion of the Rock Creek Park under suspension of the rules. ‘The Fort Brown case, to which Judge Holman referred, is in no sense analogous to this par- ticular case. ee FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ‘The following are the opeulug au prices of the New York Bigck Market ‘special ‘wire to Carson & Macartney. ez closin reported 19 F street.

Various joint resolutions were passed, among them one providing for priiting 10,000 addi- tional poo of the thirtelath anual report of the director of the geological survey: for print- ing the eighth annual report of the United States civil service commission, and for pri ing the eighth and ninth annual reports of the bureau of animal industry. THE PRINTING COMMITTRE NOT EXTRAVAGANT. In speaking to one of those measures Mr. Richardson (Tenn.), chairman of the committee on printing, defended that committee from the charge of extravagance. During the fiscal year ended June 30 1891, the ex) itures for pub- lic printing had been $3,674,759. Of this amount but $315,896 had been recommended by the joint committee on printing. so that the members of that committee were not respon- sible for any undue expenditure. ‘The estimated cost for the printing ordered by Congress during the present fiseal year was, according to the public printer, 643,892, THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. ‘The hour given to the committee on printing having expired, the House went into committee of the whole, C. W. Lester (Ga.) in the chair, on the sundry civil appropriation bill, general debate being limited ‘eave hours. Mr. Holman (Ind.) stated that the amount appropriated by the bill was $25,157,787, against an estimate of $35,188,955 and an appropriation | for the current year of $88,395,363. THE REDUCTIONS ATTACKED, Mr. Cogswell (Mass.) said that the bill was supposed to carry appropriations for the sun- ary civil expenses of the government for the | fiscal, year 1898, It this session shoul be the average length of a» long session this bill was fully three months in ad- vance of its usual time. Whether it was reported thus prematarely in order to shut out appropriations for expenditures which Congress might see fit to authorize and thus re- duce the amount the bill carried for r party pur- poses pending @ presidential election le utter disregard of public interest, was for the majority of the committee the bill to explain, It was claimed that bill re- duced the expenditures carried by the exist- ing law some $13,000,000. But this reduction had been made by refusing to the country ap- propriations which were absolutely necessary. The reductions in the bill were in many cases arbitrary, unwarranted and inst the opinions avd catimates of thore best ac- qauinted with the needs of the service in the dificrent departments, and the reductions could hardly be justified except on the ground of dire party necessity, $ Take the nage “for rey tion of pubis buildings.” that the Hootie buildi: wits and requi irs and preserva- Tt was Kotcrions 4 were in constant need excuditures for their pro crvation. of the Seer ge the dled tor of tho Secret ‘Treasury called for $320,000 for theeo items; yet the bill struck from, the cetimate by one stroke of the pen 81: ), which was simply wasie and de- struction because it left thoee buildings withcut adequate provision tor care aud preservation, increased the cost of in the end an hastened the time when the buildings must be replaced by new and much more expensive ones.
