begin to think that he Is, a bit more

New Orleans, La., March 17.—M. J
Sanders, president of the Progressive
union, sends the following statement
to the Associated Press:
"As president of the New (Jrleaus
Progressive union, I desire to contra
dict absolutely and unequivocally the
sensational stories which are at pres
ent being circulated by some corre
spondents of newspapers In this city
to their principals in other parts of
the United States In reference, partic
ularly. to the high water situation In
the Mississippi river and Its possible
effect upon the city of New Orleans.
As a matter of fact, there Is not,
and has not been for a great many
years prst, the slightest risk of any
damage to the city of New Orleans
proper from a high river. All along
the commercial front of the city there
Is no longer the usual levee, hut the
streets and the property behind has
been gradually graded up to the height
established by the engineers as the ex
treme grade for levees, making a solid
embankment of earth In many cases
for several hundred feet back from thA 1
bank of the river. The city In addi
tion la surrounded by high levees, so
that should there be any break In the
levees In the country above the city
or below, not one drop of the water
can possibly penetrate Into the city.
The very utmost that could happen by
a still further considerable rise ta the
stage of the river would be the possi
ble overflow of some small portion of
water which would merely run down
the gutters of the streets and to the
darlnage canals, beneflttlng rather
than otherwise. In no sense Is there
any anxiety regarding their personal
safety or the safety of their property
on the part of the citizen* of New Or
leans, who are perfectly well aware
that there la absolutely no danger of
harm to the commercial Interests of
the city from the alarmist reports
which are being circulated and which
In many cases, are so absolutely ex-
aggerated as to bear the earmarks of
gross negligence.”

At Memphis the flood situation la

Authorities Have Been Investigating
Life Insurance Phase of Myatory.
Buffalo, March 17.—Tho authorities
have learned that Mrs. Edwin T. Bur
dick, had assigned a portion of the in
eurance held by her husband. In the
first place, it is said, half of the estl
mated $25,000 was made payable to
tbs children.
It Is understood a portion of this
and it Is understood a portion of this
was assigned by Mrs. Burdick to her
husband. The assigned polices there
upon became part of hta estate. All
she will receive from his estate is &er
dower In one-third of his realty and
the small amount of Insurance made
payable to her that she did not as
sign. The authorities will not say
whether the assignment was made be
fore or after the divorce proceedings
were begun.
The Inquest In the Burdick murder
case will not begin this afternoon until
3 o’clock. The district attorney de
clined to say this morning who would
be the first witness, but as from the
outset, he has been questioning the
members of the Burdick household,
and as Mrs. Burdick Is the only one
familiar with or connected with the
house, who has not been on the stand,
It is presumed she will be the first
witness,

the region Is not entirely barren of veg-

Another peculiar freak of weather
we must be thunkful to escape Is the
“wllllwau.” ‘This form of storm Is
confined to that faroff Island Tlerra del
Fuego. The coast Is Indented with
deep fiords crowned with high moun
tains. Down from their gorges drops
the "wllllwau.” A low, hoarse mutter
ing Is heard In the distance. Sudden
ly, without the leust preliminary puff,
a fearful blast of wind drops upon the
sen. The water is not raised Into
waves, but driven Into fine dust. For
tunately the shock lusts but teu or

wind for even half a minute. During

them, Half a dozen may he seen danc
