o 2 THE ‘SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14 come arrapgements could be made with the estute whereby the house would keep afioat. “Qur creditors are business men who want their money. We have money enouch due us on our books to offset,our linbilities, and have lots to spare; but, of course, that is not the pcint—thatdges not satisfy the creditors. Just what the \atter are going to do with me Ido not know. It is my misfortune, end I guess | I will have to stand i It is understeod that the majority ofthe | creditors favor an immediate adjustment and a settlement at so much oo the dol- lar. The Board of Trade has no particular interest in the disaster, because the greater portion of the creditors are not members | of that body. 1If a settlement, such s has | been sug-ested, be agreed upon, it is be- | lieved that 25 cents on the dollar, or pos- | sibly a little better, will be the basis. | A'creat deal of sympathy is expressed | for Mr. Pike among the business men. He | is very popular with them, and hasalways been noted for his fair business methods and his ability generally. The opinion prevails that he bas met with a misfor- tune which he could not avoid. LEVEES GIVING WAY. Further Calamities From the Continued Rise of the Big Rivers—U.ter Despair of the Sufizrers. | VICKSBURG, Miss., April 13.—A tele- | gram was received this morning from | Ashwood, La, asking that boats and | barges be sent at once to Davis Island, | twenty-five miles below Vicksburg, and’ stating that the residents had given up all | hopes of saving the levee around the | island, which protects it from the back- | water of Lake Palmyra. The principal plantations on the island cover 8000 acres of the richest land in the Mississippi Val- ley. A telegraph message from Brunswick, raceived at noon, asked that boats be sent to Australia Island to remove stock. This valusble tract of land is owned by Asbley & Co. There are over 10,000 a.res on the piantation in a high state of culti- vation. The isiand was protected by a complete protection-levee, which gave way this morning. The water is fast covering | the property. The levee had withstood all previous floods, baving a record of be- ine the only one above the high water of 1852 on the river from Memphis south- ward. The Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Rail- road can no longer run trains north. The entire line is covered with cars to keep the track from floating aw NEW ORLEA LA., April 13.—The rapid rise of the river from Vicksburg to the gulf during the last three days has been far greater than expected and leaves little hope of saving the ievee. The riseat Vicksburg has been one foot and one- tenth. There is no indication of any re- 1 Senator Cordill, one of the best | levee experts in the State, telegraphs from St. Joseph that the people have given up in despair. A great crevasse is inevitable on the Louisiana line. The Mississippi bas broken its recora at mnearly all points be- yord the Yuzoo in the last iwo days. The | river at Vicksburg is above the famous high-water mark of 1863, which destroyed nearly the entire levee system and wrought damage which it took a quarter of a century to recover from. At New Orleans the river is now 18.2 feet and ng at the rate of two-tenths of | a foot a day. Thibodeaux, in Lafourche parish, the outlet of the Mississippi, is one | and one-balf feet above the highest ever known there, and it is considered certain | there will be some breaks. These heights represent the average condition of tue river from Vicksburg to the guif. The next twenty-four hours will prob- | ably settle the question whether the Lou- | isiana jevees can withstand the flood any longer. OMAHA, NEpr, April 13.—More than 100 families here have been forced from | their homes in the lowlands by the floods | of the Missouri. They had to go quickly | and everything was abandoned to the | water. The flood is pouring upon the low- | lands of the East Omaha boitomsin a| stream estimated to be 2000 ieet wide. | One branch cuts directly easiward, | pouring into Fiorence Lage. The mass of water ju the lake has broken up the levees built to separate it from the cut-off iake and is now rushing into the latter. This is the old channel of the river, and many fear that the turbulent Missouri will come back to its former bed. A second braach of the flood is sweep- ing over plowed and planted fields and driving residents from their homes fn North Omaha. 1t is also pouringinto the cut-off lake. Thus the two streams of the flood are both throwing a mass of water into the cut-off lake and gradually eating away the great channels. In the last twelve hours the cut-off lake has risen almost two feet. s STEVENSO) PLEASED. The Ex- Vice-President Talks of the Mone- tary Commission. BLOOMINGTON, IrL, April 13.—Ex- Vice-President Stevenson talked freely to-day about his appointment as one of the Commissioners for the promotion of international monetary agreement. He said: “1 appreciate the compliment paid me by the President, and_will cheerfully ren- der what assistance I can to accomplish tne object of the commission, I regard the restoration of silver to its proper money function as the supreme question of our own country and throughout the world. In this country the increase in the volume of business would be beyona computation. 1In the light of facts the re- habilitation of silver is 2 prime pecessity. Should 1ts demonetization become a settled policy the evil daysupon which we have fallen only dimly foreshadow the the consequences vet to come. As to the probabulity of the success of this commis- sion, it is known that the trend of public sertiment in Europe isundoubtediy favor- able to bimetallism.” —_—— TEANSFEE OF GRANT'S BODY. Preparations for the Dedication of the Jionument Progressing. NEW YORK, N.Y. April 13.—After several days of toil tbe delicate task of opening the steel case in which General Grant’s coffin is inclosed will be com- pleted to-morrow. The cover will not be raised except in the presence of those who are witness to the transfer of the body irom the old tomb to the new. This trans. fer will, at the request of the Grant family, be made quietly and without ceremony. its exact date being kept secret. The military chiefs of the monument’s dedica- tion parade will meet to-morrow to com- plete arrangements, Applications for places from the militis in other States are still pouring in. g Inspection of ths Naval Academy. ANNAPOLIS, Mp., April 13.—President McKinleyvisited the Naval Academy offici- olly Saturday.

TWO ADMIRALS 10 BE RETIRED Beardslee and Brown Will Soon Give Way to Younger Men. Commodcre Miller Wil’, on Pro- motion, Take Command of the Pacific Station. Other Changes Include the Placing of S card in Charge of the North Atlantic F.eet. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 13.—A number of important changes affecting officers of high rank in the naval service | bave been decided on by Secretary Long. One of the orders directs Commodore | Joseph N. Miller, who will soon be made admiral, to assume command of the Pa- citic naval station, succeeding Rear- Admiral Lester A. Beardslee. This is an important assignment in view of the state of affairs in Hawaii, through the Hawaiian Government prohibiting Japan- ese immigration. Hawaii is included within the geographical limits of the Pa- cific station. The flagship Philadelphia is on the way to Honolulu, and Milier will relieve Beardslee there. This change in command will probably mark the retire. ment from active service of Beardslee. He announced sowe time ago his inten- tion to retire voluntarily in Februsary, under tbe long service clause, but the admira! held on, and it was supposed he | | would serve the restof the time ailowed | him before compulsory retirement on ac- count of age. Miller is the present commander of the Boston Navy-yard. Commodore Henry L. Howison. Captain Norman Farquahar, who commanded one | of the three American vessels destroyed at Apia in the Samoan hurricane, will suc- ceed Rear-Admiral Georze Brown as ranking officer of the navy in command | of the Norfolk y-yard. Brown will be relieved from duty June 1, preparatory to retirement on the 19th. Acting Rear- Admiral Bunce, commander-in-chief of the North Atlantic station, will change | places with Commodore Montgomery S card, commandant of the Brooklyn Na yard, The promotion of Sicard to the rank of rear-admiral will follow the re- tirement of Bearaslee. Secretary Long has decided upon a grad- ual reduction in the strength of the North Atlantic fleet. tew months he will retire from active service several ships now in commission, both on the home station and abroad. The Secre lary’s programme is to go into effect immediately followinz a review of the fleet in the North River, after the Secretary Long said to-night he had decided on this | pelicy as a matter of economy, not to show the administration be regarded trouble with Spain or any other Govern- ment now as more remote than a year 2go, wien the Government began to plan the placing of the navy on the strongest war footing. All vesseis retired, the Sec- retary says, will be in condition for im- mediate service if called upon. The disintegration of the big fleet be- gins May 1 by the retirement of the triple fiyer Columbia, attached to the bome sta- tion, which broke the record three years ago for vessels of her class. Boon after the Minneapols is to be withdrawn from the European station. Both ships are | sister vessels with three screws and almost too expensive for the navy to maintain in service. The withdrawal of the Min- neapolis will leave the Meditterranean flect but three vessels, as it is the purpose of the department to retire the Cincinnati on the arrival out of the Raleigh, About June 1 or 2 the monitors now with the home fleet will be laid up and possibly some cruisers. By that time the battle-ship Iows, the Helena, Wilmington and Nashville will be ready for duty. The big cruiser New York may also be laid up later. With the Iowa in the service there will be three first-ciass and two second- class battle-ships attached to the fleet. Two of these battle-ships and either the Amphitrite or Terror will also follow the reserve list, so by the middle of summer the greater part of the present strength of the home station will be composed of new vessels to be commissioned this spring. The gradual reduction in “the fighting efficiency of the station wili continue un- til the autumn, when the fleet will be again formed more powerful than ever for maneuvers in Southern waters. Under the appropriation of the last Congress several thousand dollars is to be | expended this summer in deepening the League Island water front so a large fleet can be accommodated the vear round, ready for service on two weeks’ notice and maintained in perfect condition. In laying up these vessels Secretary Long says he will now be enabled to save the Government many thousands of dollars yearly without reducing the fighting effi- cieacy. COST OF ARMOK-PLATE. Captain Sampson’s Hint to the Big Man- wfacturing Firms. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 13.—Cap- tain Sampson, Chief of Ordnance, says he will not approve paying a cent more than §400 a ton for armor. If this is not ac- cepted by the firms he says the navy can shortly begin the manufacture of its own armor without going to she expense ol es- tablishing a plant.” Sampson states that there are six concerns in the country, at any one of which the Government could undertake the manufacture of armor-plate without entailing -any heavy outlays for new machiuery. The process of making armor would not be that nsed at the seth- lehem works, but, according to Sampson, an article equally as good could bs in time delivered. —_—— Eli Yet in th+ Race. WASHINGTON, D.

Many Office-Seckers A-e Eurly on the Scene—Nsw Rules Restricting Call- ers Go Into Effsc’. WASHINGTON, . C., Aprit 13.—The ‘White House was again a scene of polit- ical activity to-day, being the first time sin ce Wednesday Jast that the public has ‘When hand looking for office. After 1 o’clock, however, but few people applied for ad- mission, as the rules restricting callers to morning hours went into effect for the first time, Only persons with whom the Presi.ient makes sppointments will be re- ceived afternoons, B:veral appointments were made to- day butnot sentto the Senate. A large batch of nominations will probably be sent to-morrow, when it is believea the Commussioner of Indian Affairs will be named. This place seems to have been aliotted to ex-Representative Pichler ol Scuth Dakotz. He was at the Interior Department this afternoon and had a long conference with Secretary Bliss. Senator Platt called early, bringing up the question of the successor of New York’s Postmaster, Dayton, and of As- sistant Treasurer Jordan. Hanna and his colleague, Foraker, were among other callers. The latter was be- sieged by office-seekers laboring under the delusion that he has some magicinfluence | with the President. It was reported this afternoon that the successor of Wade Hampton as Railroad | Commissioner would soon be named. General Hampton has been lying at deati’s door for the past fortnight, bul is now better. - OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. Representative Loud Does Not Intend to Resign Fram Congress and Seek the Postmastership. WASBHINGTON, D. C., April 13.—It is reported in the California colony here that Representative Loud will oppose the appointment of Joe Spear as Surveyor of the Port. THE CALL correspondent en- | deavored to see Mr. Loud to-night, but | was not successful. Therefore, until the Congressman is heard from, the report may be regarded merely as an idle rumor. The nomination of James Martin of Vermont to be Assistant 8. cretary of War settles the fate of Colonel H. G. Otis. It was given out some time ago that no as- sistant secre:aries would be appointed from any State that had a representative in the Cabinet, but Colonel Otis’ friends still clung to the beltef that President Me- Kinley would finally reward him by ten- dering him this appointment. Colonel Otis was not a candidate for any office, and is not now. Nevertheless, if the Pres- ident had complimented him with this appointment ne would have accepted. It 15 the understanding among the Califor- nians here, however, that President Mc- K.nley feeis very grateful toward Colonel Ous for the vaiuable services performed by him before and during tus campaign, and will soon offer him some post of honor. Senator Perkins to-night received a tele- gram from Louis Parrott, vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce, respect- fully urging him to give especial attention to ihe protest against the abrogation of the Huwaiian treaty. The protest is now | on its way. Senator Perkins was asked by THE CALL correspondent to-night for his opinion as to the probable passage of Senator Nel- | son’s bill, introduced to-day, providing for the treaty’s abrogation. He said he bad no means of knowing the disposition of the Senators upon this subject, but would give the matier his immediate at- tention. There seems to be no truth in a report printed in S8an Francisco to the effect that Representative Loud will resign his seat in the House if he can be appointed Post- master to succeed McCoppin when the latter’s term expires. It was stated in the newspaper article that Mr. Loud realized that he would bave a hard fight for re- romination to Congress and would ask for the Postmastership. Mr. Loud is not thinking of such a step. He will con- ticue in Congress as long as his con- stituents desire 10 keep him there. He bas now reached a point where he is a commanding and conspicuous figure in the House of Representatives, He enjoys not only the confidence and intimate friendsh1p of Speaker Reed, but of all the leaders on the Republican side. He is chairman of one of the most important committees of the House and 1s recog- nized as one of the strong characters in that body, and has no desire to leave Con- gress so long ns his constituents wish to honor him. M. F. O’Donoghue of San Francisco, one of the chiefs of the General Land Oi- fice, draws a_salary of $2000 a year. His wifeis n clerk in the Navy Department. Still O'Donoghue is not_satisfied. He is endeavoring to have Mrs. O'Donoghue promoted to a position in the State De- Enrtment_ He is also trying to secure for imsell a position as one of the assist- ants of Attorney-General McKenna in the Department of Justil George W.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 13.—The Japanese legation has received advices from Tokio and Hawaii which discredit ths somewhat sensational stories growing out of the refusal of the Hawaiian Govern- ment recently to permit the landing of a party of Japanese at Honolulu, One hundred and forly-six members of this party were contract laborers, and against the returnlof these the Japanese Consul- Genera! made no protest. But the others were voluntary passengoers, and were ex- cluded because it was alleged they did not possess $30 each in golu. Against this action the Consul entered u strong protest, as upon investigation it was found that they had the requisite amount, and that they were denied the right of employing counsel and of appeal to the Hawaiian courts, which is guaranted by treaty. The officials of the legation deny that the situation is one threatening serious international complications, as the only question which can arise is one of indem- nity. The Japavese Minister says the position of his Government should mot give rise to any apprehension, as the Japanese havé none but the kindest sen- timent toward that republic, and have no designs upon its independence. But one Japanese man-of-war has been sent to Honolulu, and that not for the purpose of menacing the Government, but 1o assist in preserving order amons Japanese resi- dents who might become excitea. Tkt e Tellow Fever Iireaks Out at Panama, WABHINGTON, D. C., April 13.—The United Btates Consui-General at Panama sent a cable message to the State Depart. ment to-day containing one word, *Yel- low.” The officers said this meant that _| yellow fever had broken out at Panama, MORGAN ARGUES FOR BELLIGERENCY Cubans Have a True Friend in the Senaior From Alabama. Eut Action on the Joint Resolu- tion of Rccognition Is Postponed. Lindsay Makes an Address in Support of the Bankruptcy Bill Pre- pared in Committes. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 13.—The fourth*day’s speech of Morgan in support of his joint resolution recognizing both | sides to the war in Cuba as belligerents had very few auditors on the floor of the Senate to-day. At one time the number of Senators was reduced to five Republi- cans and nine Democrats, and even on these few the speech fell on unheeding ears. This was because the speech was read from manuseript, and because much consisted of tesiimony, correspondence and documents. Morgan’s explanation of these citations was that the Senate could not afford (o pass such a joint reso- in.ion without having a profer founda- tion under its feet. He had, therefore, devoted a great deal of time in placing on record the facts which had not yet faily ana authentically appeared, some of which were entirely new. He claimed he had shown in parts of his speech already made that ciuizens of the United States have been subjected to unlawiul | and barbarous treatment by the Spanish; that the rights of the United Btates as a naiion, under the treaties, have been openly, irequently and reckiessly vio- iated. The Spanish Government, he declared, ought 10 be compellea to recognize the fact that war exisis in Cuba. The war bas been caried on by Spain with sword | and torch. He expressed a fear lest American people would cross the Gulf of | Mexico as the Greeks were crossing the Mediterranean to avenge cruel tortures | which only the Turks and Sp:\mards) oould inflict upon innocent people. | “We had,” he said, "France to help us in our travail, but Cuba has found no France. That Cuba will be free is written in the stars that glow in the unfailing light of the Southern Cross, to whickh her children turn their eyes with hove that grows brighter as the night of their sor- rows grows darker.” Morgan stated that other Senators had decided to speak to-morrow on the joint resolution and hoped to get a voteina few days. The question of retroactive duties as provided in the Dingley bill was touched upon by a report from the Treasury De pariment, stating that orders had been | given Collectors of Customs on the sub- ject, and by a joint resolution, introduced by Vest, declaring such orders to be with- out authority and in,yiolation of the stat- utes, the matter comes up to-morrow. Chandler introduced two bills to enable the Government to use the armor plants of the Bethlehem and Carnegie companies for the manufacture of armor plate for battleships. The bills were referred to the | Committee on Naval Affairs. Notice was given by Davis of Minnesota, acting chairmsn of the Committee on Foreign Relations, that he would ask the Senate Thursday to proceed to the consid- eration of the arbitration treaty. i ‘I'ne bankruptey kill haviug been taken up, Lindsay addressed the Senate in its defense, criticizing the substitute offered by Nelson of Minnesota. There wasnoth- ing in the committee bill, he said, which compared in harshness with the insol- vency law of Minnesota, under wkich, as Nelson had admitted, the people of that State had lived without making com- plaints. There were twelve or thirteen States, he added. which had involuntary bankruptey acts far more drastic than the committee bil; yet Nelson’s subs:itute would subject debtors to those State acts. Lindsay declared the pending bill one not demanded by the creditor class, as had beer suggested, but by the debtors who, on account of general financial troubles, were laboring unde: loads of indebtedness they could not meet. It would be a relief | to them to have a court to which they could apply to take their property and pay | their debts, unshackling their hands so they might go to work again and become | useful citizens. 1 Aftera short executive session the Sen- ate adjourned until to-morrow. The Senate confirmed the following nominations: Alfred E. Buck, Georeis, Minister to Japan; James Boyle, Ohio, Consul to Liverpool; Wat T. Beall, Reg- | istrar of the Land Office, Leadville, Colo.; | Natban P. Johnson, Indian Agent, Sis-| seton reservation, South Dakota. | | AN RXPEXINENTAL TANK. To Test Miniature Warships in the Wash- ington Naey-¥ard. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 13.—An experimental tank in which miniature warships will be tested will scon be con- structed at the Washington Navy-yard. The tank is the first of the kind in this country and the largest under cover. Its dimeasions closely approach those of the big drydocks and its depth will be suffi- cient to float any of the smaller cruisers. On ali sides it will be covered. It will be | just 500 feet long, 50 feet ucross and 14 feat deep. Running across and close to the | water will be a carriage, upon which will | be ‘attached a dynamo-meter to register | the resistance due to towing s model through the basin. Models, varying from ten to twenty feet, of every new ship will be attached to this machinery, drawn through water, the wave motion noted and the resistance carefully calculated. The models will bs plain affairs and constructed only with a view to presenting closely the actual lines of the thips. Through these periments it is estimated that the plans of all the proposed vessels can be im proved and valuable information gathered. Tha cost of the tank will be $100.000. The use of such tanks abroad is common. The tank will be ready in about ten months. s o BECRETARY G 6r EXPLAINS, Gives Authority for Bis Civcular to Col- ectors of Customs. W ABHINGTON, D. C., April 13.—In re- plying to the inquiry of the Senate re- zarding the authority for anticipating the Dingley bill by his circular of April 5, di- recting all collectors of customs to delay until further orders final liquidations of entries of merchandise which were not purchased or shipped prior to April 1 (the retroactive date of the Dingley bill), Sec- retary Ga, the circular was issued under the law autkorizing him to “direct | the superintendence of collections of du- ties on 1mports as he shall judge best.” he order was issued, the Secretary ex- plains, ‘“for prudential reasons,” and while it might inure to the sdvantage of the Government, it did not impair the in- terest of the importer or in any manner obstruct the importation of merchandise. ———— S FURTHER AKMY CHANGES. Betirements and Promotions Cause a New Assignment.of Stations. WASHINGTON, D.C., April 13.—The contemplated changes in the army will cau-e a further assignment of stations. Col.[Shafter, who succeds Brigadier-Gen- eral Wheaton, is at the Ebbiit House. The corimand of the Department of the Dakota and St. Paul' was vacated by the transfer of General Brooke to the command of tue Department of the Missouri at Chicago, The command of the Department of Colo- rapo at Denver will become vacant by the retirement of Major-General Wheaton early next month. also result in the promotion of General Brooke to the grade of major-general and the promotion of either Colonel H. C. Merriam of the Seventh Infantry or Col- onel James F. Wade of tue Fiith Cavalry to the brigadier-generalship. It is supposed that the assignment of departmental commander wiil be deferred until these promotions are made, and that then Genersl E. T. Otis, commanding the Departmentof the Columbia at Vancouver, will be transferred to the command of the Department of Colorado at Denver; that General Shafter will be assigned to the command of the Department of the Columbia, and that the next brigadier- general appointed will be assigned com- mand of the Department of the Dakota at St. Paul. groag o TUNN3GE TAX REDUOTION, Bill Reported to the Senate by the Com -~ merce Committee.
