The river Ctiuge marked 40.2 feet here today, the highest ever recorded, the former blgn mnrk being 40.1, made In 19o3. Reports fsdrn Hollybush, Ark., today say the levee tre continues to hold. ; For muny oVys the labor of hundreds of ; men has been concentrated upon the re inforcement of this strip of low, soggy levee, extending half a mile .above Holly bush, and as the waters climbed. Inch by Inch, the workmen built the embankments higher. A telegram from Helena says the situa tion there is unchanged. The only trouble has been the collapse of a small protection levee, which flooded the negro section. Several city blocks In Memphis are under water because of the giving way of an auxiliary levee yesterday. Many people went to work this morning in skiffs. Street car service has been partially abandoned in the flooded district, but the situation is not regarded as serious. II ill h at Vlrksbnrg. VICKSBURO, Miss., Feb. J.

Mr. Pawkett declared that Fort Worth did not want a rate adjustment that would irive Gainsvllle an advantage of 4 cents over Fort Worth and Dallas. He presented figures to show that the rate from Okla homa points to Kansas City is little over 11 mills In every case, while to Fort Worth rates In every Instance exceed a mills, although the dlstanoe to the latter point Is much less. The charges against the St Louis & San Francisco railway, made by the Texas Cement Plaster company of Quanah, Tex., were next considered. The president of the company, 8. M. Gloyd of Oklahoma City, said that his company was charged $1.60 more per ton oa a shipment of cement to Bt. Louis than the Oklahoma company, although the difference in distance was only IS miles, making a discrtminatfun of 40 cents per ton in favor of th. Oklahoma company. A claim for $!M8.17 overcharges Is made. Commissioner Prouty gave the company fifteen days to file a brief, which will be considered by the commission In Washington.

Men Operating In Sonth Dakota Arc Snld to Have Taken a Thousand Head. SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Feb. 2.-Speclal.) According to Information received by United States authorities here, a gang of horse and cattle thieves, which for a num. ber of years has Infested the Rosebud reservation, In the extreme south central portion of the state, has finally been broken up. Every member of the band, five In number, Is now under arrest. The members of the gang have been unusually bold and daring in their opera, tions. It Is said they have run off not less than a thousand head at horses and cattle. The particular charge on which they are arrested Is the theft of a bunch of thirty-six head of cattle, which they took to the Nebraska siSe of the line and aold. The ringleader of the gang Is Joseph Ferron, who was .arrested several weeks ago and Is confined In the county jail in Sioux Falls awaiting trial at the April term of United States court. Ferron's lieutenant was William Morgan, who was arrested at Fairfax last week, and on di rection of United States Marshal Seth Bui lock was taken te the Lawrence county Jail at Deadwood for aaf. keeping until tils trial. Through th. efforts ' of Captain "Jack" Foster, a government brand lnxpector sta tioned on the Rosebud reservation, the remaining members of, the gang have now been placed under arrest. They were run to earth and made prisoners at the new town of Murdo-McKenzle, on the Chamber-laln-Black Hills extension pf the Milwau kee. Since Ferron was placed In the county jail In this city he was visited by Captain Foster, and It is believed that the officer at that time secured Information which assisted, materially . In the arrest of Mor gan and the remaining members of the band. fiONACDH IS IUSY IN ROME TAFT. TO VISJTCANAL ZONE Secretary of War WIU Go Sonth and to Orient In Fall.

IRISH APPEAL TQ LONODN Rules (or Examination of Girl, for Scholarships at Londonderry Not Satisfactory. DUBLIN, Feb. 2. (Special.) It will b. news to many people that the city of Lon don Itself haa an Irish question to deal with. Nevertheless this Is strictly speaking the truth. Deputations are being organized In Londonderry to wait upon the court of common council, and, falling redress In that venue, threats are being made of an ap peal to Parliament Itself. The trouble has arisen, in this - way: The corporation, through one of Its committees, known aa the Irish society, owns and administers large estates In Ireland. These possessions, which Include the city of Londonderry, have belonged to the corporation slnco the time of Charles II. Out of th. revenues arising the Irish society makes cer tain annual grants for educational and charitable purposes. Among these is the sum of tl.Ouu to establish scholarships ten. able In Trinity college of this city. These scholarships are awarded to girl students belonging to Londonderry who obtain the highest marks In the yearly examinations conducted by the Board of Intermediate Education In Ireland. The program of the Intermediate board which governs second ary education In Ireland was selected by th. Irish society as forming the most fit ting test of merit., and It appointed a local woman's committee In Londonderry to ar range the details relating to the award of the scholarships. Then the trouble be gan. The population of Londonderry Is made up of 18,000 Protestants of various denominations and 26,000 Roman Catholics. In some way the committee was constituted without any Roman Catholic being In cluded. This was the first grievance. The second was that the woman's committee made the scholarships tenable only at Trinity college, Dub'ln, a circumstance which excludes Catholic girls as completely a if the Irish society had made "Catholics not eligible" a condition of Its grant. Fuel was added to the Are when the committee proceeded to exclude marks given for pro ficiency In the Irish language from the total of marks qualifying for the scholarships ana a vigorous local agitation haa sprung up in consequence. The opponents of the committee'! deci sion argue that as the Irish society se lected .the program of the intermediate board as the test which was to govern the winning of the scholarships the whole of that program should be Included and not a portion chosen by a committee represent ing only a section of the community. The question Involved is at best a somewhat serious one for those girls who take up a study of their native language, because th. Intermedial board allots the same num ber of marks for Irish that It does for French or German. A girl, therefore, who takes IrUh as one of her subject may be shorn of a large proportion of her qualify ing marks and thus be hopelessly left be hind in the scholarship competition. The Irish society was appealed to at Its recent "visitation'' of the Irish estates, but it de. clined to interfere with the discretion of the local committee. The Roman Catho lics of Londonderry, together with a sec tion of the Protestants of Londonderry who take an Interest in the study of Irish, now propose to appeal from the decision of the Irish society ' to the full court of the common council, with a request that for Irish girls the Irish language should be held with equal Value with French or Ger man. . . CATHOLICS ARE UNDER BAN One Capo Colour School Board Devise. Plan to Make Trouble for Members. CAPETOWN, Feb. 2. (Special.) They have a way of securing unanimity in pub lic matters at Sutherland, Cap. Colony. An election recently took place for the local school board and two Roman' Cath olics had the audacity to be returned, to the unconcealed annoyance of the majority of the members. Rev. B. R. Hattlngh is the chairman of the board and he opened the first meeting with prayer as became his clerical calling and closed in the sain, wsy. Th. Roman Catholic members ab sented themselves from this ceremony, so the board passed a three-horned resolution of this kind: Any member leaving a meeting before being present for twenty minutes at least, will be cumtldered as not being present. Am pmiiibu leaving a uieeUiig wlUiout the consent of the chairman or refusing to obey the rules of order under the regulation of the chairman will be liable for suspen sion. The chairman can refuse permission to leave the meeting to any member. If the unfortunate Roman Catholics miss the first clause of the resolution they are tolerably certain to be hooked by the sec ond and third. Representations are likely to be made to the board of education on the subject SERVIA NOT IN FERMENT Premier Wrltea Journalists to Visit Country and See Condition, (or Themselves. VIENNA, Feb. 2. (Special.) The Servian premier, M. Pasitch, recently invited, a number of Austrian journalists to visit the country to convince themselves that the people are content under the rule of King Peter. "The king," said the premier, "Is a living model of an economical private life. Ho rises at 6 o'clock In the morning and after a light breakfast spends his time till mid day with state business. At noon he re ceives the ministers and then drives out or takes a walk among his people. ' "In the early afternoon his majesty, like other old-fashioned citizens, takes a sim ple dinner of two or three courses. After spending several hours In reading and In muslo he takes a simple supper In the evening and goes to bed at 10 o'clock." The premier adds that his majesty's per. sonal expenses do not exceed 22 per day. Both he and his sons are teetotallers. LONG WAY AROUND QUARANTINE To Reach Point Fifty Miles Away Tenerlffe Woman Travels Three Thousand Miles. LONDON, Feb. 2. (Spectal.)-The humor) of quarantine law, which remains In a very vague and little understood ' state, have been Illustrated by the experiences of a Tet .ffe woman who arrived at Southamp. ton by the steamer Bruxellesvllle the othei day. The woman wished to get from Tenerlffe to Las Palmas, a distance of fifty miles. Quarantine regulations made It practically Impossible to make the voyage direct, how. ever. A way out of the difficulty was finally found through the Bruxellesvllle's passenget coming to Southampton and returning from that port to Las Palmas. She left by the Unlon-Castle Intermediate steamer German and on her arrival at Las Pal ma was found to have covered 3,000 miles In order to travel fifty miles. Hlaalas Is Better. OLEAN. N.
