tlers within the next sixty days about
one million acres of land iu California.

made to the Atlantic and Pacific rail-
road by an act of July 1866

Schenectady N. Y. March 14. —The
master carpenters have refused to ac-
cede to the demands of ths Carpen-
ters’ union for an increase in the
scale from 35 cents an hour to 40
cents an hour and on April 1 accord-
ing to the plans of the carpenters a
general strike will be instituted to
enforce the demand. The lathers
doubtless will join issues with the
carpenters against their common em-
ployers thus effecting a tie-up in
building operations.

ments for the conference looking to the
amalgamation of the two commercial
telegraphers' unions namely the In-
ternational Union of Commercial Tele-
graphers and the Order of Commer-
cial Telegraphers to be held in this
city tomorrow have been completed.
The lioard of arbitration has been
selected and the conference will be
held in conformity with an agreement
reached between the two organiza-
tions. Each organization has selected
two arbitrators and the four thus con-
stituted will select a fifth. The <l**
c'slon of this board will be final with
locals of both organizations. The
idea of the consolidation of the two
bodies lias been discussed for some
time and it was with a view to grant-
ing the requests of the members of the
two organizations that the conference
was arranged. Whichever one of the
two organizations absorbs the other
the new organization will be chartered
under the American Federation of
tabor. The main point to be settled
at the conference is the selection of a

SITUATION MORE SERIOUS
RAIN CONTINUES AND RIVER IS
STILL RISING.
Laborers at Work Piling Sacks Along
the River Front—Strain on the Big
Levees Continues and Feais for
Safety Increase—Bulletins.
Washington D. C. March 14.—The
weather bureau issued the following
special river bulletin today: Lower
Mississippi river—The condition was
anticipated somewhat more serious
this morning. The rise has been more
rapid than for some days past and the
rain that is now falling although as
yet light will tend to increase the
gravity of the situation.
The stage at Cairo this morning was
50.5 feet a rise of 3 feet since Friday
morning; at Memphis 36.8 feet a rise
of 7 foot; at Vicksburg 48. Z feet a rise
of 4 foot; at New Orleans. 19.2 feet a
rise of 4 foot.
The Ohio and Arkansas are general-
ly falling except that the former at Cin-
cinnati was still rising slowly and is
slightly above the danger line this
morning. No changes from previous
forecasts arc yet indicated.
A Break Feared.
New Orleans La. March 14. — The
river here has risen nearly a half foot
in tile past 24 hours and today stood
at 19.2 or within three-tenths of the
rec<|d made in 1597. Spasmodic show-
ers continue through an occasional
burst of sunshine today raising the
hopes of those who are carrying on a
fight against the steadily swelling
stream. Hundreds of laborers continue
to pile sacks along the river front and
every preparation is being made for
the maximum height promised by the
bureau though it is believed here that
a break higher up the river cannot
long be averted. That will naturally
have the effect of decreasing the flood
here though it will lengthen the period
of high water. All the Louisiana levees
on the Mississippi river front are re-
ported as having held through the
night.
Warning at Memphis.
Memphis Tenn. March 14. —The
flood situation remains practically un-
changed from yesterday. The river
is rising steadily the gauge at noon
marking 36.8 feet. As the great strain
on the levees continues the fears of
those dependant upon them for safety
naturally increase. So far none of
the big embankments have shown any
signs of giving way although grave
fears are expressed concerning the
safety of a few. At Ashland near
Natchez a break in a private levee
is widening and a vast area is under
water.
Special warning balletins have been
issued by the United States engineers
to captains of steamers requesting
them to run slow. The steamers will
remain away as far as possible from
certain points which are subjected to
the greatest strain. Reports from
Caruthersville Mo. north of here
stale that the levee is holding and
that there is no immediate danger.
Chief Engineer Pharr of the St. Fran-
cis levee board issued an order that
no one be allowed on or about the
levees after dark. A violation of these
warnings will result in danger to the
trespasser as the guards have been
armed.
Refugees continue to arrive in Mem-
phis on every incoming boat. All
steazners that went out this morning
announced that they would not at-
tempt to handle regular business but
would pick up refugees and their be-
longings.
Record Breaker at Vicksburg.
New Orleans. La. March 14. — A
special from Vicksburg suys a rapid
rise in the river there threatens to in-
undate the lower compress and 5000
bales of cotton are being hauled to a
place of safety. Refugees are flocking
into the city. All indications point to
a record-breaking flood.
Lowlands Under Water.
Natchez Miss. March 14.—Reports
from Ashland in Jefferson county
state that the water has covered all
the lowlands lying between Rodney
and Churchill a distance of thirty
miles. Twelve well cultivated planta-
tions are covered and some stock has
been lost.
Cut in Glass Prices Coming.
Pittsburg Pa March 14. —The ac-
tion of the American Window Glass
company in shutting down all of its
plants today for an indefinite period is
attracting much attention in glass
manufacturing circles. The company's
action is taken irrespective of what
the other companies may do. The
American Window Glass company has
arranged to put a large force of men
.it work next week equipping all of its
plants with the new glass-blowing ma-
chines. it is said that all the factor
ies of the company will be equipped
with the new machines which will do
the work of the skilled labor by ma-
chine and remrße from the glass fac-
tory the highest priced skilled labor
known in the country. It will give
the company glass production at a cost
of less than one-third of the cost un-
der the hand labor. It is believed tho
move presages a g?neral cut in glass
prices. The action of the company in
closing its plants and installing its
machines is said to be its answer to
the independents who have refused to
come to any agreement concerning a
uniform closing of plants this spring.

CiiEERS FOR CHAMBERLAIN
RETURN OF ENGLAND'S STATES-
MAN FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
He Was Given a Rousing Welcome at
Southampton — Union. Jack and
Stars and Stripes Intertwined—Mrs.
Chamberlain Cheered.
London. March 14.—‘Southampton
welcomes home the British
Statesman." in huge letters sur-
rounded and intertwined with Union
Jacks and Stats and Stripes was the
motion that first greeted Colonial Sec-
retary Chamberlain and Mrs. Chamber-
lain on landing at Southampton today
from South Africa.
Quays elaborately decorated ships
dressed in rainbow fashion and rounds
of cheers and blowing of whistles anil
sirens greeted the liner Norman as she
passed up Southampton water with Mr.
and Mrs. Chamberlain accompanied
by Lord Selsborne first lord of the ad-
miralty. standing on the promenade
deck. As soon as the steamer was
warped to her dock Mr. Chamberlain
and family went on board the Norman.
They shortly afterwards were followed
by the mayor and corporation of
Southampton who welcomed the trav-
elers.
The mayor's daughter then handed
a bouquet to Mrs. Chamberlain and the
procession was formed with Mayor and
Mrs. Chamberlain leading and Mr.
Chamberlain and the Mayor's daughter
coming after them and walked through
the cheering crowds to the reception
hall.
Mr. Chamberlain was bronzed but
looked very thin and considerably
aged. He showed evident pleasure at
the welcome and the party then enter-
ed carriages and drove through the
thronged and decorated streets to
Hartley hall the scene of so many pre-
vious functions connected with the
South African war.
There was an address of welcome
presented to Mr. Chamberlain who in
the course of his reply warned the
country not to over estimate the re-
sults actually achieved. He was hope-
ful and even confident that much of
South Africa would hereafter loyally
take its place as part of the empire to
which it now belonged but it is not to
be expected that the long record of
vaccination and weakness which led
to the war will be wiped out in the
tw inkling of an eye.
Subsequently Mr. Chamberlain and
party took a train to London where a
large crowd awaited his arrival. Pre-
mier Balfour and practically the whole
cabinet were present at the Waterloo
railroad station to meet Mr. Chamber-
lain.
The greetings which he received
everywhere were most cordial. Mrs.
Chamberlain came in for a full share
of welcome. Special cheers were given
for her and in greeting the deputation
from Birmingham which went out to
meet the Norman she was specially
mentioned.
Referring to this in the course of his
reply to the Birmingham delegation.
Mr. Chamberlain said; “I thank you
very much for including as indeed you
should the name of my wife. It is In-
deed true that her companionship has
been the greatest assistance to me. In-
deed I hardlv know how I could have
got through the great task I undertook
but for her co-operation.”

Salida Colo March 14. —The em-
ployes of the First National and Sali-
da State bank of this city armed with
Winchesters are scouring the country
around Salida for two men who suc-
cessfully victimized the banks by
means of forged checks securing $3300
in cash.
Two checks for $2000 and $1300
bearing the names and endorsements
of local business men were presented
to the banks and on telephonic com-
munication were paid. It develops
that a confederate of the man who pre-
sented the checks at the banks had
answered the calls on the telephone.
When the deceit was discovered a
posse of citizens and bank clerks head-
ed by cashiers of the two banks heav-
ily armed and mounted started in pur-
suit of the guilty man and later re-
turned with two men who gave their
names as Mendenhall and Macfarland.
Mendenhall was subsequently releas-
ed Macfarland being held as an ac-
complice. A search is being made for
two men who have been In Salida for
a week or more and made the place
of business of one of the men whose
name they forged their headquarters.
MARCONI IS ON HIS DIG.
Resents the Doubts Thrown on His
Messages as an Insult.
New York March 14 —Signor Mar-

respondent regards the challenge
which has been thrown down to him
as an insult and speaks contemptuous-
ly of the skepticism which has been
expressed as to bonaflde wireless mes-
sages between Poldhu and Cape Bre-
ton. He states that since the message
from President Roosevelt to the King
many others have been sent both ways
and cipher messages also transmit-
ted. laird Kelvin is convinced that
Marconi has really succeeded in send-
ing messages between North America
and Cornwall by an enormously strong
application of electric power. Asked
for an opinion regarding the suggested
tribunal to tost the question—four
New York editors and four London
editors —Lord Kelvin replied ”1 think
it a very roundabout and nonsensical
way to try to solve a scientific prob-
lem.”
REV. LORIMER'S SCARE.
He Sees Two Lily-White Parties and
Blood Upon the Moon.
New Y'ork March 14. —At a meet-
ing of the Patria club of this city the
Rev. Dr. George Lorimer pastor of the
Madison Avenue Baptist church deli-
vered an address on “Liberty in Amer-
ica” in the course of which he said:
“The negro question Is rapidly near-
ing a crisis. It is likely to result iu
the forming of a Lily White party in
the North as well as in tile South. The
proclamation signed by Abraham Lin-
coln gave freedom to tho while man
as well as to the black man. That the
latter is on the border of a serious
complication is due to « hat. is termed
the massing of the colored vote. Once
you get the negro convinced that be
has the balance of force at eiection
time ho will demand power from the
political party to which he is allied.
He will also demand great conccssi jns
nnd the two Lily White parties will re-
sult. When this comes to pass we
may look forward to what wo are all
anxious to avoid—race antagonism
throughout the land which will rend
this country and cause untold suffering
to the negro.
Magyars to Celebrate.
Chicago. 111 March 14—The Mag-
yars in all the American cities. 50.000
of whom live in Chicago alone are
preparing for a national celebration
tomorrow. The fifteenth of March is
a memorable day in the hearts of all
patriotic Hungarians. It is the anni-
ersary of the freedom of the Hun-
garian press' and also of the achieve-
ments of 1848 which were accomplish-
ed under the leadership of the great
Kossuth and which transformed Hun-
gary into a modern parliamentary
state. This was a revolution accom-
plished in the first place without the
shedding of blood although when the
king afterward refused to fulfill his
promises to the revolutionists not long
after the memorable 15th of March a
bitter struggle broke out and still
Ilves in history as the great revolu-
tion of 1848. and which undoubtedly
would have resulted in the complete
independence of Hungary had not Rus-
sia come to the aid of Austria in the
conflict.

INTERESTING LAW POINT.
A Burglar’s Case Who Killed a Man
While Escaping Capture.
New York. March 14.—“1s a burglar
who atempts to escape when discov-
ered in an attempt to break into a
house and kills (When opposed by
torce at some distance from the scene
of the attempted burglary guilty of
inuraer?”
This question has been raised by
Judge William J. Gaynor of the Su-
preme court in Brooklyn in an opin-
ion wnich he handed down with a de-
cision to the effect that Duncan
Young convicted of having killed
George Eberhard in this city several
years ago was entitled to a certificate
of reasonable doubt and a new trial.
Young was tried before Judge Foster
last November convicted of murder in
the second degree and sentenced to
twenty years in prison. Judge Foster
charged the jury to return a verdict
of murder or acquittal. He refused to
cnarge (with request of Young's law-
yer) that the jury might find the de-
fendant guilty of manslaughter.
“When the way defendant was being
bunted as already described is con-
sidered.” says Judge Gaynor “and
tnat he was being fired at from the
yard below while the deceased was
striking at him with a stick from
above and he may have been imper-
iled of being knocked off the fire es-
cape and shot ft is difficult to see
how the trial judge has the right to
decide as a matter of law that he may
not have had intent to kill; and such
intent was a necessary element of
murder unless the defendant was with-
in subdivision of the station of the
penal code which describes murder in
the first degree ’engaged in the com
mission or an attempt to commit
felony.’ ”
Judge Foster charged that Young
was so engaged if the identification
by the wtnesses was sound and he
was attempting to enter the house
for the purpose of robbery when dis-
covered.
“But he was not at the time of the
homicide so engaged.” Judge Gaynor
says. “On the contrary he had de-
sisted and was a considerable dis-
tance away viz at the other end of
the block trying to escape. If he cun
be said to have been still engaged
In the burglary how far would ho
have had to be away before he would
not have been engaged in the burg-
lary?”
Wall Paper Concerns Merge.
Glens Falls N. Y March 14.—The
directors and managers of the Stand-
ard Wall Paper company of Sandy
Hill and the Liberty Wall Paper com-
pany of Schuylersville. are entertain-
ing a proposition to form a new com
pany to buy the present factories and
operate them together under one man-
agement. Meetings of the stockhold-
ers of the various companies will be
held March 28 to vote on the proposi-
tion to sell. The name of the new
company is to be the Standard Wall
Paper company and it is understood
that the present board of directors
of the Standard. together with some
members of the present Liberty board
will constitute the new board.
A MYSTERIOUS ARREST.
Man Taken From Telephone Booth and
Handcuffed.
An arrest was made in Appmann’s
drug store on East Commerce street
a few evenings ago which is shrouded
in mystery. A man went into the tele-
phone booth to use the long distance
telephone and upon coming out he
was accosted by an officer from some
outside district who inquired. “Are you
Mr. of Waco?” Upon being ans-
wered in the affirmative the officer at
once clapped a pair of handcuffs on
