SALISBUEY IS A SICK MAN.
Trouble is Tellins on Him and His
Lieutenant, Mr. Balfour.
GLADSTONE AXD THE IRISH DILL
The English Government is now being
conducted without ornaments, as the Queen
and leading members of the royal family,
as well as Lord Salisbury, are abroad. The
Premier is pale and haggard, and evidently
needs rest. Gladstone will make a vigor
ous attack upon Balfour's Irish land bill.
;bt cauls to the dispatch.'.
Losdon, March 29. Copyright. The
Prince of "Wales has been treated right roy
ally in Berlin this week, and left for Co
burg last night. His loving nephew, 'Will
iam, saw him off, and there was much fare
well kissing at the railway station. The
Prince's mother, Queen Victoria, is at Aix
les Bains; his eldest son, Albert Victor, is
on the high sea, and England's Prime Min
ister is at this moment speeding through
France on his way to the Mediterranean in
search of health.
Constitutional sticklers are much worried
over this unusual state of things, maintain
ing that the sovereign, the heir apparent,
the heir presumptive and the premier ought
not to be absent from England at the same
time, but the Governmental machinery
manages to run smoothly enough without
ornamental adjuncts. Queen Victoria has
gone to Aix les Bains in the hope of curing
her rheumatic troubles, and to-day she
commenced a course of sulphur baths.
A QDEEK AT I.EISUEE.
She has registered as Countess of Bal
moral, and goes about in the free-and-easy
manner habitual with her when out of En
gland. She has a donkey-carriage in which
she takes much outdoor exercise. It is not
known whether the donkey is the same ani
mal which used to suffer so severely during
Her Majesty's stay at Florence two. years
ago. It so, he will have discovered by this
time that his royal burden is some 30
pounds lighter than in 1888.
Princess Beatrice, who accompanies her
mother, has started a course of 21 baths in
the hope of reducing the stoutness which
causes Her Koyal Highness much discom
fort. She is carried to the baths before 8 in
the morning in a funny looking sedan chair,
and the bearers, presumably, are watching
the experiment with considerable interest,
as the l'nncess weigns ziu pounds or there
abouts. Lord Salisbury was very mysterious about
his trip to Nice. The special carriages
marked for his use were surrounded by
small crowds at Charing Cross and Victoria
stations, but he slipped away without using
either. The reason is supposed to be that
the Prime Minister does not care to have
the general public know that he is in ill
health.
SALISBURY IS SICK.
He lias lobt considerably in weight and is
pallid and haggard. Both in his house and
his office he has the rooms heated to a de
gree that is overpowering, and when he goes
out he wraps himself up as if for St. Peters
burg in winter. He has recently conceived
a great dislike of crowds and never walks in
the streets.
Balfour, too, is looking haggard and care
worn and developing eccentricities. Yes
terday he did not appear at the Cabinet
meeting called at noon. A messenger who
was sent for him found him at break'ast in
his house at Carlton terrace reading a
novel, having entirely forgotten that a meet
ing was to be held that day at all. "When
he was told that Her Majesty's Ministers
were waiting his appearance he sprang trom
the table as if dazed, and then, rushing into
the hall for his hat, was out of the door and
into the street before the detective who dogs
his steps to prevent his being slaughtered
Dy irishmen could follow.
Balfour ran the entire length of Carlton
terrace to the Duke of York steps and across
the Horse Guards' parade before he noticed
that a crowd was following him, and then,
discovering that he had become an object of
popular interest, he stopped in front of the
Horse Guards' clopk and set his watch, as
if that had been his purpose in coming.

fBY CABLE TO Till DISPATCn.l
LOXDOS, March 29. The Sultan's purse
has been painfully depleted this week by
the necessity of doing honor to the Italian
Crown Prince, who, being young and fond
of fun, requires a good deal of entertaining.
He has been in Constantinople nearly a
week, and shows no present inclination to
cut short his visit. The Sultan has been
much annoyed by the furious denunciations
of the English Liberal newspapers of his al
leged misgovcrnment of Armenia,and for the
cruelties perpetrated by his Pashas in Crete,
and talks oi prohibiting the circulation
within his dominions of all European lit
erature He has heard, too, of the establishment in
London of a special committee to keep the
anti-Turkish agitation going, and has
ordered his ambassador to luruisb a special
report upon the prospects of the Liberal
Government attaining power. Should the
report indicate a probable early change the
Sultan will begin to think about reforms.

Lcmjdok, March 30. No definite infor
mation has yet been obtained with regard
to the disability of the City of Paris. The
only news from Qneenstown to-night is that
she is iu tow of the Aldersgate, a London
ireight steamer, instead of the City of Ches
ter, as was at first reported.
She was expected to arrive in Queens
town about 9 or 10 o'clock Saturday even
ing. but your correspondent in Qneenstown,
who was instructed to send full details of
the accident, has not been heard from up to
4 o'clock this (Sutday) morning. The pas
sengers and crew of the City ot Paris have
been reported all well by signal.

Paris, March 29. In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day, M. Constans, the Minister
of the Interior, said the Government was
solicitous lor the welfare and confident or
the prudence of the workmen, but it mis
trusts the socialist leaders, and for this rea
son had resolved to prohibit the proposed
demonstration on May L
The police to-day permitted a deputation
from the butchers to enter the chamber, but

1ST CABLE TO THE DlSrATCU.1
Loxdox, March 29. The Tories have
been jubilating this week over their victory
at Ayr, a rather uncertain constituency,
where a strong local resident was put up by
the Tories to oppose the Gladstonian, a
very good man, bnt who had no local con
nection. The ducal Argyle family and the
Unionists of Glasgow made every effort to
secure the wavering electorate, and this,
combined with the strong claims of their
local man, brought about the defeat of the
Gladstonian.
The Tories so rarely have any cause for
satisfaction over electoral contests that an
allowance may be made for the delirious
joy they are showing upon this occasion.
They have pained a seat from the Liberals,
but their majority now is only 130, com
pared with 1,175 in 18S6.
AX AGED TORY'S TROUBLE.

tnr CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.!
London. March 29. A Tory member for
one ot the Northern constituencies, Sir
George Elliott, has allowed his amorous na
ture to compromise him in a way which is
not pleasant to his children and grandchil
dren. The worthy baronet, who, according
to Biblical authority, has already outrun
this mortal span, has made himself particu
larly agreeable to n youn widow in polite
London society. But he now declines to
follow this proceeding to its natural issue by
leading the lady to the altar.
The widow seeks solace for her outraged
feelings by an action for breach of piomise,
claiming substantial damages, and the laith
lcss Tory has started for Madcirato escape
from the derision of his friends and the up
braidings of his family.
A BIG DEBATE PROMISED.
Gladstone Will Make a Vigorous Attack on
Balfour's Irish Land Bill.
BV CABLE TO THE Dlfcr.YTCH.I
London. March 29. There will be a
serious fight over the Irish land bill. I am
in a position to state that Mr. Gladstone
will make an elaborate attack upon the
measure and will lay especial emphasis
upon the fact that while money is to be
raised and spent by the million the taxpay
ers of Ireland will be absolutely unrepresent
ed in the department which is to administer
these vast sums.
The bill offers gigantic bribes to landlords
and a certain class of tenants alike, and
even those who will vote lor it admit that it
is based upon lalse principles.
X0 ETIDEXCE NEEDED.
The Farce of a Trial Used to Convict Obnox
ious Irishmen.
IBY CABLE TO TOE DISPATCH.
London, March 29. A case which has
been decided by two resident magistrates in
Ireland this week, is arousing a great deal
of attention. Two men named Kelly and
O'Dwyer were charged with conspiring to
prevent the Smith-Barry tenants from pay
ing their rents. The only evidence was to
the effect that the delendauts were seen con
versing with the tenants.
No evidence was given as to what they
said, not a single tenant was called as a
witness, and yet the magistrates had the
effrontery to sentence each defendant to four
months hard labor.
CHIPS ON THEIR SHOULDERS.
Servta nnd Bulgaria the Cnuse of the Latest
Wnr Scare.
TET CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.!
Londox, March 29. The increasing ill
humor between Servia and Bulgaria is be
ginning to attract European attention and
there has been a half-hearted attempt to
raise a war scare oyer it. The effort has
had a discouraging reception, but it may
be repeated with a better prospect of success
toward the end of April.
Queen Natalie is again squabbling with
the Servian regents and Milan threatens
to visit Belgrade to find out what it all
means.
AMERICAN COMPETITIOiV.
Interfering With the Business of the Local
London Pickpockets.
IBV CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London, March 29. American compe
titors have been seriously interfering with
the business of the local pickpockets here
within the last month. At the preliminary
trial of three American thieves who were
arrested fur an attempt to rob a bank mes
senger, and gave the names of Frank Lack
rose, William Smith and Charles Robinson,
the courtroom was thickly sprinkled with
talent from New York. The three prisoners
were committed for trial.
INQUIRING INTO ITS STRENGTH.
A Pet Measure of Controller Morrow's to be
1'ilt to the Test.
Yesterday a bill was prepared in equity
against the street bill introduced by Con
troller Morrow and passed by the Legisla
ture, throwing some doubts upon its con
stitutionality. The affiant is Isaac
Van Voorhees, who is himself a
lawyer, and has some property affected
under the provisions ot the statute.
Controllei Morrow has still the mo t im
plicit confidence in the constitutionality of
hia pet measure, and said he is rather
pleased than otherwise to see it tested, fully
relying upon its standing the brunt of trial.
John S. Lauibie was asked what he
thought of the bill in question, and how the
case at issue would affect the Diamond street
widening and several grading mea0ures now
under consideration. He replied that the
matter was one that could not be momentarily
answered. The Supreme Court has already
decided that cities had a right to grade,
pave and widen streets, but that the methods
of assessment were wrong. This had been
decided in a Philadelphia case where the
same style of assessment prevailed as here.
The matter was one that needed caretul con
sideration, and until the action was tiled
and the act thoroughly examined, he would
not venture to give a sidewalk opinion on
the subject.
A STRIKE AVOIDED.
Jones & Lanchlins' Workmen Aro Promptly
Grnntrd Their Drmnnds.
The probability of a strike at the Ameri
can Iron and Steel Works was avoided by
the action of the firm in promptly and cheer
fully granting the demand of their em
ployes. A joint meeting of the two lodges of pud
dlers and finishers of tbe mill was held yes
terday, when it was decided to request
Messis. Jones Sf Laughlins to relieve the
puddlers and heaters of the task of carrying
their tools to and from the blacksmith shop,
ami have the laborers perform the work.
They asked this because many of the men
had to carry the heavy tools three or lour
blocks.
The request was readily agreed to by the
company, and the objectionable work will
herealter be perlormed by laborers who will
be supplied with buggies" for the purpose.
FOR MALARIA
Use Hereford's Acid Phosphate.
Dr. E. G. Davies, De Sraet, Dak, lays: "I
have used it in slow convalescence and preven
tion from malarial diseases, trbere the drinkinjc
water was bad; I believe it to be beneficial in
orevtnting summer complaints; also one of tbe
best agents we have to rectify the bad effects
of tbe drinking water upon the kidneys and
bowels."

offered he would advise its acceptance.
Mayor Jacob received many telegrams
yesterday from all parts of the country,
offering help and financial assistance.
To all of these the Mayor responded on be
half of the citizens of "Louisville, thanking
them for their kind offers of aid, and stating
that money only could be used. Many
offers of food, clothing, medical attention
and nurses were offered, but the Mayor felt
that Louisville could house and feed her
wounded and distressed and bury her dead,
so all offers of this nature were kindly de
clined. Messrs. Teft. "Wcller & Co., a large New
York mercantile firm, telegraphed authoriz
ing Mayor Jacob to draw on them for
S10.000, which was done. Hon. George F.
Tanner, President of the Indianapolis Board
of Trade, telegraphed to the same effect as
the above, and the Mayor also drew on him
for 510,000.

COAL BOATS SUNK.
THE CYCLONE WRECKS SEVERAL
PITTSBURG FLEETS.
Ferry Dock Goes Down Tbe Clerk Escapes
by Swimming Ashore Lnrgo Qanntltlea
of Coat Lost Laborers Deinnndlng Big
Wnges.
Louisville, March 29. The river is
strewn with floating debris from the storm
from Tenth street to the water works, and
hundreds of skiff are plying about collect
ing tbe splintered wood work. All floating
crafts are in the best ol condition this morn
ing. All day yesterday the foam-crested
wind waves rolled eight feet high and
vessels were, in consequence, compelled to
hug the shore for safety. Large and strong
lines bound them securely and on account
of the alertness of the masters none suffered
much.
The ferry dock at the foot of First street
was tossed about yesterday by the gale and
finally sunk. George Hitter, the clerk,
was the only person aboard, and he escaped
by swimming ashore. She can readily be
pumped out. The most damage was done
at tbe pumpkin patch, where six pieces were
lost, and at Captain Duffy's landing, where
one small boat of coal, belonging to Wood
& Son. of Pittsburg, was sunk. The boat
contained about 8,000 bushels and was
valued at 51,500.
At Cook, Hoffman & Co.'s landing were
sunk three boats belonging to Thomas Faw
cett & Sons, and two barges of S. S. Crump
&Co.,bothof Pittsburg, loaded with coal and
containing 11B.UUU bushels and valued at
$18,000. The coal and boats were owned by
Pittsburg parties, and it is thought will
prove a total loss, as also the boat sunk in
Captain Duffy's fleet.
Captain John Hoffman, of Cook, Hoffman
& Co., brought tbe tug Wash Gray to the
wharf late yesterday evening and tried to
secure 50 laborers to so up to the fleet for
the purpose ol pumping out the large num
ber of boats and barges that are anchored
there, but his trip proved unsuccessiul. He
offered laborers 25 cents an hour, but they
wanted 50 cents, and were not anxions to
work at. that. He finally succeeded in se
curing eight men. Captain James T. Duffy
also had some trouble in securing help; he
hired fully 500 men, and out of the lot only
eight reported for work.
Captain Dave Penny, of the City of
Owensboro, of the Louisville and Evansville
Mail Line, which arrived in port last night
from Evansville after a rough voyage, re
ports that a dwelling bouse at Knob Creek,
owned and occupied by a Mr., Jennings,
was blown to tbe ground and entirely de
molished. He and his family succeeded in
getting out without being hurt The con
tents of the house were all destroyed.

TOE COURSE OF THE CYCLONE TRACED
IN BLOOD.
Other Towns in Kentucky nnd Tennesseo
Devastated by the Storm Returns Just
Coming In Jinny Persons Killed. Addlac
to tho Already Long List.
Louisville, March 29. A dispatch
from Hopkinsville, Kentucky, says reports
of a most distressing nature continue to be
received from this and adjoining counties
that were swept by the cyclone. In some
places entire farms, houses, barns and
fences were laid waste. Loss in property is
beyond computation. The town of Cale
donia was entirely destroyed. A great deal
ol valuable stock was killed in every section
of this county. There are also reports of a
number of persons being injured by falling
trees and houses. A dispatch from Gallatin,
Tenn., says: The news of the terrible
storm of Tuesday night is slow to obtain,
and it will be to-morrow before full list of
dead and injured can be had. It is known
that every house and building between
Bledsoe and ITulia, in the path of the storm,
are blown away, and hundreds of people are
injured and without food and shelter.
A Town Wiped Out.
It is reported that the whole town of Dixon
SpriDgs, in Smith county, 35 miles distant,
was swept out of existence by the angry
cyclone. Wire communication is inter
rupted. Those injured by the storm near Gallatin
are doins well and all will probably re
cover. Business in Gallatin is temporarily
suspended while the people discuss the fear
ful disaster. In the path of the storm are
to be found horses and cattle lying upon
the gronnd in great numbers, killed
bv fallintr tiees and other debris.
The Chesapeake and Nashville road suffers
greatly. In two places about 600 feet of
high trestlework was destroyed and two 300
ton iron bridges were blown from their
and ninth on main.
pillars and wrecked. A mile of track was
torn up by the cyclone. The loss to
other property in this district is estimated
at 52,000,000.'
Eighteen Lives Lost.
A dispatch from Marion, Ky., says that a
laree portion of that town was destroyed and
18 lives lost. A family, consisting of Mr.
and Mrs. Jacob Montague and four daugh
ters and the mother of Mrs. Montague, liv
ing in the country eight miles from Marion,
were crushed to death by the falling of their
dwelling.
At Enterprise! Ind,, the Methodist church
and four dwellings were demolished but no
lives reported lost. A dwelling at the
mouth ot Race creek and two farmhouses
near Scottsville, Ind., were destroyed.
A family boat moored about five miles
above the mouth of Green river was dashed
to pieces against a tree and a man named
Frazier and wife and sister were drowned.
Webster County Ilns 50 Victims.
For several miles in Webster county, Ky.,
it swept everything away. Houses and
barns were totally destroyed; beds, furniture
and clothing have been found all along the
road irom Morganfield to Dixon. The
killed and wounded at Webster will number
not less than 50.
At Cloverport, Ky., the storm of wind,
rain and hail passed over the city Thursday
nicht about 9 o'clock, doing considerable
damage to property. The roof of the South
ern Methodist Church was blown off and
considerable damage was done to the build
ing. A Marion. Kv.. SDecial savs: All dav
fresh reports have been coming in adding to
the sad story of the destructive cyclone that
swept through this county west to east at
sunset Thursday.
The track of the storm is a quarter of a
mile wide and it traveled 30 miles across the
country. Mr. Carenac Moreland and two
children are dead. Mrs.Morelaud is seriously
injured. Their houses were blown down
and burned.
Increasing tbcLongLlst of Fntnlltles.
Berry Rich's wife and child are mortally
wounded and their house was blown to
atoms. J. H. Robinson's daughter was
killed and the house and contents scattered
over the country. The large two-story frame
house of Hutch Sullineer was carried away
aud himself and wife were badly hurt, and
their children were found several hundred
yards away safely lodged in the houses. The
wounded will reach 55 or more. The physi
cians of this place was fatally injured.
At Sulphur Springs the storm did con
siderable damage. Gid Combs' house was
blown to pieces, killing onebf his daughters.
E. N. Fitzhugh wascrippled and is likely
to die. Considerable otherdaraage in other
parts of the county is reported.
EXCESSIVE DAMAGE ESTIMATES.
The Loss to Properly Not so Grent an at
First Supposed.
Louisville, March 29. A good many
of the estimates of damage to property have
been very much too high. The actual loss
from a financial standpoint will not be so
great as was supposed at first. On Main
street, for instance, the damage to Moore,
Bremaker & Co.'s, wholesale house was
placed at 520,000. B. W. Creel, a
member of the firm, stated this morn
ing that the building was injured to
the extent of 52,000 and that the damage to
the stocc would not be more thau 5500.
The Todd-Dpnigan building was said to
have suffered to the extent of 515,000, but
Mr. Todd said to-day the loss would scarcely
reach $1500. The tobacco warehouses were
not hurt to the extent stated. Nearly all of
those which were demolished wejje old build
ings, and a comparatively small sum will
put tbe new ones in repair again.
The great demand now is lor bricklayers,
and it is hoped that surrounding cities will
supply all that are needed. Probably 1,500
of these can be given employment and con
tractors announce that they will pay them
S4 50 a day. It was rumored this mornlne
that the local bricklayers would demand So
a day.
OBSERVED BY A SCIEKTIST.
The Appearance nnd Coarse of the Death
Dealing Storm.
Louisville, March 29. The cloud ac
companying the cyclone was observed along
almost its entire course by Dr. Lyon, who
resides at the Falls. He says tbe cloud ap
proached up the gap in the Knobs through
which the Ohio flows. It was balloon
shaped, twisting an attenuated tail toward
the earth. It emitted a constant fusillade of
lightning, and seemed. to be composed of a
lurid snake-light mass of electric currents,
whose light would sometimes sud
denly be extincuished for a kw brief
moments, making an almost intolera
ble, horrible darkness. It was accompanied
by a fearful roar like that of a thousand
trains crossing the: big bridge at once. It
could be seen to strike Louisville and then
with incredible rapidity rumbling awfully,
the awful mass leaped the river, changing
it into white foam as it came toward the
Indiana shore. It appeared to cross near
the Louisville bridge, just over the falls.
Mr. Lyon is a centleman of scientific at
tainments and a close observer, and watched
thestorm witha view of ascertaining certain
points in the cyclonic movement.
MORE STORMS PREDICTED.
Amateur Weather Sbarps Prophesy
Bad
Things for April.
St. Louis, March 9. Eev. Ira E.
Hicks of this city, who has achieved much
more than a local reputation as a weather
prophet, and who predicted the last storm
with wonderful accuracy now gives a fore
cast for April which includes numerous
marked changes in temperature ana three
distict storm periods. He says the month
will open with a summer tempera
ture aud vernal storms will occur on
the 1st and 2d, especially on the 2d.
The Gth, 7th, 8th and 9th are designated as
danger days, when there will be heavy
storms of lightning, wind and hail with
snow in northern sections. About the 13th it
will be cold with much frost. Active and
violent storms will again occur on the 19th,
20th and 21st, moving from the West to the
East. From this on there will be the usual
April showers, and the' month will go out
with a high thermometer. The dates of
greatest earthquake probabilities are given
as the 5th, 19th, 20th and 21st.
Prof. Gsorge Eoot, of Canton, Mo., an
other successlul weather prognosticator,
predicts a tornado period from the 20th to
the 25th of April, and says it will be the
worst storm period of the year. He says
this has not been predicted by any other
meteorologist, and asks 'hat phenomena
occurring between the dates named be spe
cially noted by weather observers and re
ported to him. He thinks it will establish
the existence of the Nero planet Uranus.
JEFFEESONYIMiE WRECKED.
Two Hundred Dwellings Mnst be Repnlrcd
or Rebuilt.
Jeffersonville, March 29. Jefferson
ville, while not officially seeking assistance,
can find many places where aid will be of
the utmost importance. Many are ren
dered homeless and penniless, some are
thrown from comfort to poverty among
these notably, Eev. T. S. Bosley, who loses
all. There are many others like him. But
tbe people are nut discouraged. They have
gone to work, and this morning tinne'rs and
masons were at work on numerous houses.
At the houses the owners have gangs of
men at work clearing up, and at some of
them repairs have begun. The Stranse
House is already being rebuilt, and George
Plan is busy getting his property in order.
The damage in houses, furniture, etc., will
be large. More damages developed to-day,
all of a serious kind. Many ol the build
ings standing will have to be torn down and
rebuilt. Not less than 200 houses were
wrecked or damaged.
A PANIC STK1CKEN CONGREGATION
Led Safely Oat of a Falling Church
by a
Brave Pasior.
Louisville, March 29. A thrilling
scene occurred at St. Lucas' Evangelical
Church in Jeffersonville, where Eev. H.
M. Gersman was holding services. A fine
congregation was present, mostly ladies
when the storm strnck the city. The build
ing, a handsome brick, swayed and rocked

AWAITING THE OW.VERS.
Men's Hats and Wrnps Piled Up in tbe Tem
porary Morsuc.
Louisville, March 29. The morgue
temporarily secured at Links barber shop,
1113 West Market street presents a fearful
scene. Being directly across Irom tbe Falls
City Hall, all the bodies from that building
were first taken there and afterward re
moved to the undertaker's.
In one corner of the room, for the chairs
had early been removed, was a pile of lads
and gentlemen's hats, canes, shoes, wraps,
etc. They had been found upon some of
the bodies takeu from tbe ruins, and it is
not known whether or not the owners were
killed.
THIRTY FUNERALS FOR TO-DAY.
UacUmen Taking Advantage of the Grent
Disaster.
Louisville, March 29. The undertakers
have more than they can attend to for to
morrow. In all there will be at least 30
funerals. Of this number Dougherty &
Keenan will have 14.
Their shop is located just below the ill
fated Falls City Hall. As a consequence
carriages, hacks, etc., had to be secured, and
when the owners here began charging 510 an
hour for their vehicles, the firm was forced
to go to New Albany and Jeffersonville for
supplies.
A LIFE CONVICTS DONATION.
He Sends 820 for tbe Relief of the Louis

Louisville, March 29. The generous
donation of Melville Butler, a convict in the
Kentucky penitentiary at Frankfort, was
much commented on to-day. Butler was
sent to the penitentiary for a long term for
killing a man named McCoy on Jackson
and Gray streets several years ago.
A letter was received from Butler yester
day by Mayor Jacob containing four crisp
55 bills, which the donor directed to be used
in the relief of tornado snfferers.

A DELAMATER CLAIM.
His Friends Positively Assert That
He Has Already Secured
SUFFICIENT DELEGATES TO WIN.
Quay Will Confer With the Philadelphia
Leaders at Once.
HASTINGS WILL STUMP THE STATE
In the Interest of His Rival it His Own Aspirations
Are Blighted.
Senator Quay is expected in Philadelphia
to-night or to-morrow to consult witn the
local Republican leaders. Delamater's
friends claim ,that he has now enough dele
gates to insure the nomination for Governor.
If Hastings is beaten he will give a hearty
personal support to his rival.
rsrXCIAL TEtKOBASI TO TIIB DISFATCH.l
Philadelphia, March 29. Senator
Quay will be in this city to-morrcw night
if he can so arrange it, and if not he will be
here on Monday. The Senator has seen and
talked with a number ot the prominent Re
publican leaders at Washington, but be is
anxious to meet the local leaders and to dis
cuss with them the political situation, and
it is for that purpose, as well as to look after
some business matters, that he is coming.
Senator Quay has to his intimate political
friends spoken in the highest terms of praise
of the able manner in which the local Re
publican leaders managed the spring elec
tion. He admitted that the large majority
received by Captain Taylor was a surprise
to him, and to his friends expressed the
hope that the present organization may be
able to do as good work at the fall election.
After finishing his business here Senator
Quay, instead of returning to Washington,
will go to his home at Beaver.
getting beady for 'WORK.
It is known to be his desire to see and
converse with all of the activeleaders in the
several county organizations and to impress
upon them the necessity ol getting the party
into good shape for the fall election. Col
lector of Internal Eevenue David Martin,
who is Quay's recognized Philadelphia lieu
tenant, returned from Washington to-dav,
where he had been for the purpose of visit
ing Senator Quay. g,
When questioned reearding Senator
Quay's preference for the Republican nom
ination for Governor, Mr. Martin, with a
meaning smile, replied: "Senator Quay has
been so long away from Washington and
from sources of information on things polit
ical that I imacine he will first see his
friends throughout the State before
making known his wishes. You know
that Quay when he has been away for awhile
at once upon his return begins to ask all
manner of questions from those who call
upon him, and he gives but little conversa
tion in return. Before leaving for South
Florida Senator Quay announced his policy
of non-interference in the matter of making
nominations, and my belief is that he will
continue to pursue the same line of policy.
He has so many friends' that he can scarce
afford to take sides in a battle for the nomi
nation, but bis interest in the party's success
will bring him to the front to assist in the
election of those who will be named by the
conventions."
A DELAMATBB CLAIM.
It is recognized that the contest for the
Eepublican nomination for Governor lies
between Senator Delamater and General
Hastings, but shrewd party leaders declare
that more than a sufficient number ot dele
gates to the State Convention have been
already chosen in Delamater's interest, and
that there is no question as to his securing
the nomination for Governor. Delamater's
friends point to the fact of his haying se
cured tbe delegates in Quay's absence as an
evidence of his popularity among the active
party men.
Friends of General Hastings declare that
ih the event of Senator Delamater being
nominated General Hastings will make a
tour of the State in his interest. They
maintain that Quay, Hastings aud Dela
mater have understood from the beginning
of the contest for the nomination that it was
to be solely a fight for supremacy without
any of the bitterness which usually attends
such contests, and that the defeated candi
date was to leave nothing undone to assist iu
the election at the polls of the victorious
candidate.
SOON TO BE SETTLED.
The time for the holding of the Eepubli
can primaries for the election of State dele
gates has not yet been fixed lor this city, but
it is given out that a conference of the ward
leaders will shortly be held for the purpose
of fixing a date which will be satisfactory to
all elements. None of the city leaders, with
the exception of Mayor Fitler, who has de
clared for General Hastings, have given any
expression as to their preference for Gov
ernor, bnt it is believed that the ward lead
ers as a rule will have themselves elected as
delegates on account of the importance of
the nominating convention.
The statement that Senator Delamater has
already secured tbe election of more than a
sufficient number of delegates to bring about
his nomination has tended to rob the local
contest of tbe interest which would other
wise attach to it, but the local bosses who
seem ready for the swim will be on hand at
the State convention to assist in making tbe
nomination.
THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION.
The Democrats appear to-be at sea regard
ing tne nomination ot tneir candidate lor
Governor. Prior to Senator Wallace's de
parture for Europe it was generally be
lieved that he would be named as the can
didate for Governor, but just before and
since his return there has set in an under
current of opposition which threatens to
cause him considerable trouble in the event
of his making a fight for the nomination.
Messrs. Scott, Coxe, Hensel and other
prominent Democrats are credited with 'be
ing opposed to Wallace's nomination, and
it lias been given out that tbe main reason
the Bellevue conference was held was for
the purpose of forming the opposition to
Wallace, and to present it to his friends in
order that Senator Wallace might be made
aware ol the fact that what is known as the
Cleveland element of the party were not sat
isfied to have him chosen as the party's can
didate lor tioyernor. xne story has been
quietly circulated in quarters intended o
have "effect that Wallace, if allowed to as
sume the leadership of the party, which
would naturally come to him as its candi
date lor Governor, that he would quietly
arrange a slate of delegates to the National
Convention in the interest of the nomina
tion for President of Governor Hill, of New
York, instead of favoring Cleveland's re
nomination, which the masses of the- party
throughout the State are declared to favor.
AN ANNOriNG SILENCE.
What is causing the anti-Wallace men
the greatest concern is the persistent silence
maintained by the Clearfield statesman and
bis refusal to disenss even with the leaders
themselves any other political question but
that of the present coudition of the party or
ganization, and the effect of the last two
Philadelphia elections upon the minds of
the people of the State. Wallace's anxiety
regarding the organization is accepted ti
mean that he has already made up his mind
despite the opposition to become the candi
date for Governor, and his friends unhesi
tatingly declare that if such be his intention
he can easily secure the nomination.
The interviews with Captain Skinner, of
Fulton county, and Captain Clay, of Elk
county, in which both declare in favor of
Wallace's nomination, is pointed to as an
evidence that the Democratic soldier ele
ment of the State will rally round tho ban
ner of tbe Clearfield leader,becauseof his ac
knowledged qualities as an organizer and
fighter. Captain Skinner says: "With
Wallace as our leader we would have at our
head a fighter who knows how to fight, and
an organizer against whom Quay's methods
would count for but little."
THE M'COKSIICK BOOM.
The latest story is that an effort will be
made to have Harry McCormick, of Harris
burg, the well-known iron manufacturer,
made the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor. It is said that the majority of the
leaders who are opposed to the nomination
of Wallace or any of the candidates who
have been identified with factions in
the past are in favor of Mc
Cormick's nomination, it Dcing argued
that he would make Dy far the strongest
candidate. W. L. Scott." of Erie, prior to
the Bellevue conference, was set down as
favoring the nomination of ex-Governor
Pattison, bnt at its close be said in a talk
that he was neither for nor against Patti
son's nomination. Since that time the Erie
connty friends of Scott have been in this
city, and it has been discovered that their
business here was the booming of McCor
mick for the nomination.
Benjamin F. Meyers, of Harrisburg, who
has always been classed as one of Senator
Wallace's mnst intimate friends, presented
McCormick's name to tbe Democratic State
Convention in 1886, when Black and Wal
lace were the candidates for the nomination
which was won by Black, and McCormick's
friends are claiming that Meyers stands
ready to perform the same service again.
With the exception of these who have been
instructed to work and vote for Eobert S.
Fattison's nomination for Governor, the
city delegates refuse to express any prefer
ence, saying when spoken to in reference to
tbe subject that tne time for holding the
convention is so far off that there is lots of
time to thoronghly consider the situation
before declaring in favor of any particular
candidate.
A DOMESTIC QUARKEL.
Its Termination Will I'robnbly be Fatal to
One of the Participants.

HIS PREDICTIONS HURT TRADE
At Jiew Orleans, 'Where the River is Nw
Slowly Falling.
NO FURTHER DANGER APPREHENDED.
The Damage Caused by the Breaking Lsiees Caa 3ot
let be Estimated.
The New Orleans Board of Trade will de
mand the removal of Signal Service Officer
Dnnn, of New York. His prediction of a
disastrous flood is said to be wholly without
foundation, but it is affecting business. The
Mississippi is now reported to be falling.
rSFZCXAX. TEtECnAM TO THK DISPATCH.!
New Orleans, March 29. The pre
diction of Sergeant Dunn. Signal Service
officer at New York, telegraphed over the
country, that New Orleans would be badly
flooded by the river with probable, loss of
life, created the greatest indignation here,
and it is likely that some action win be
taken to secure Dunn's removal as a sensa
tionalist. The prediction seems to have
been accepted by a great many people
throughout the country, and to have created
a very panicky feeling as to New Orleans,
and it has undoubtedly severely affected bus
iness. ALIj weee anxious.
Between 600 and 1,000 telegrams were re
ceived to-day asking abont the condition of
the river and whether the danger was as
great as reported. Several cotton merchants
received orders to sell cotton and to take no
chances of flood, and shipments of flour
from Cincinnati were stopped by shippers,
who were frightened by Dunn's predictions.
The latter received no credence here and
local securities of all kinds advanced.
Sergeant Kerkam, Signal Service officer
in charge, declared the predictions wholly
unreliable and the river situation was bet
ter than it has been for some time past. A
meeting has been called at the Board of
Trade to ask for the removal of Sergeant
Dunn on the ground that he has entailed,
considerable injury on New Orleans by his
assertions and predictions, and a strong
petition will co from here to General Greely
against him as a dangerous, unresponsible
Signal Service official.
THE KIVEK IS FALLING.
The river here fell one-tenth of a foot to
day, and is now a foot below the high water
mark reached March 13. The levee in the
meanwhile has been raised 2 feet and can
easily stand 2 feet more, bnt it is not
thongbt by experts that it will reach the
high water mark again this season. Above
the levees have been somewhat weakened by
the wind storms ot the last two days, but
otherwise the situation is favorable and
all the tributaries are falling. It
is feared that the crevasses that have oc
curred will keep the high water up longer
than expected. They will increase the
danger for the levees aronnd Vicksbnrg,
where the Yazoo is swollen with waters
from the various breaks pouring into the
Mississippi.
Some fear was felt for Morganza, the
most important levee in Louisiana, and
toward the defense of which the Mississippi
Kiver Commission has contributed liberal
ly, bnt it is reported all right to-day. It is
not probable that any of the breaks in the
levee can be closed before the river
falls. Altogether five parishes in Louisiana
and five codnties in Mississippi are more or
less flooded by water from these breaks.
But little harm has been done as yet by
these crevasses beyond the drowning of
some stock, and the damage will depend
largely upon whether the water runs off in
time to allow planting.

In Tlmt Section.
ISPICIAL TELEGRAM TO Tnit DtSPATCH.l
Memphis, Tenn., March 29. No cheer
ing news comes from the flooded district.
On the contrary, the outlook becomes more
gloomy. The only ray of hope is that the
breaks in the levees at Toppington Loop,
Offuts, Skipwitb, Easton and Hunting
don will have a tendency to relieve
the pressure below, and already a slight de
cline has set in which can only be attributed
to this course. To-night Greenville is re
ported to be in imminent peril. It is pro
tected by the river levee in front and behind
tbe city runs a protection levee which
has hitnerto kept out the backwater
Last night the backwater, which has coma
across country from the breaks at Easton
and Huntingdon, is rising at the rate of two
inches an hour, besides which the rapid cur
rent in tbe river is threatening the main
levees, and it is predicted that the leveea
cannot live through the night.
In that event the entire town will be
flooded. The breaks are still increasing in
width. To-night tbe Offuts crevasse is 700
feet wide, Skipwith's 750 feet, Easton's 900
and Huntingdon 600 feet. The Skipwith and
Easton levees are rapidly crumbling away.
It is conceded by tbe most conservative now
that the entire country from Lake Bolivar
to Warren Hills will be flooded, something
that is without a parallel.
