. Washington Letter
, Washington, D. C., April 258.
. President Joseph E. Ransdeli of
the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress, Senator-Elect from
Louisiana, has returned from his
plantation along the Mississippi
with sorrowing tales of loss of
- life and destruction of property
due to the awful "flood of the
mighty river which must still
further be heid in leash thasg life
and property may be saved from
a continuation of these tercible
‘visitabions of Providence. Con
gressman Ransdell with his usual
celerity and forcefulness so
wrought upon the members of
Congress, with the aid of his col
leagues living along the *‘Father
of Waters” that the Senate has
passed an emergency joint resolu
tion making immediately available
" $1,500,000 of the amount that will
be carried in the river and harbor
bill for the Mississippi = River
levees to the end that the levees
destroyed by the flood may be at
once rebuilt and threatened levees
®trengthened. The House Com
mittee on rivers aund harbors has
reported favorably a similar reso
lution but now that the Senate has
taken primary action the House
will substitute the Senate resolu
tion for its own and before this
letter appears in print a miilion
and a half dollars will be made
immediately available ltor the
Board of Engineers to begin the
business of closing up the crevi
ces made by the mad waters. The
flood, the greatest in our history,
Bs swept away houses, destroyed
millions of dollars worth of pro
perty and hundreds of lives and
has rendered homeless, it is esti
mated, more than 100,000 people.

when icebergs were likely to be
encountered, During a meeting
of the House Committee on Mer
chant Marine and Fisheries a let
ter was read to the Committee
thas was written by Thos, Ismay
the father of J, Bruce: Ismay,
President of the International
Mercantile M arine Company
which owned the Titantic, in 1876,
in which he urged upon a confer
ence of foreign steamship owners
that they enter into an agreement
whereby all the lines should send
their ships over the more southern
but safer route at dangerous sea
sons of the year. Ancther letter
from Mr, Thomas Ismay to the
same effect, written 1n 1889, was
also read to the Committee, to
show that the danger from the
shorter northern route had always
been recognized by steamship com
panies. The letters in question
were among the files of the Com
missioner of Navigation, and were
furnished by him to the Chairman
of the Committee, Representative
Alexander of Missouri.
An interesting lecture was pre
sented recently at the rooms of
the National Press Club by H. D.
Slater, of Kl Paso, Texas, who
illustrated his talk with lantern
shides made from photographs of
battles in Mexico taken during the
recent engacements there between
the rival Mexican forces, The
rumors that have been curient that
intervention by the United States
might become reeessary to protect
American propertv has quickened
pubiic interest in all Mexican
matters, and these pictures gave a
graphic presentation of many in
teresting phases of conditions in
the sister Republic on our south
ern border. :
