While thousands nre working nnd lending every energy to save the levees, their labor threatens to be of uo avail. Slowly but' surely the waters continue to climb, except when brief respite is given from time to time by new breaks in the levee. Tho situation Is gelling ib be one of terror from tho fctacdpolht of the food supply and tho horrors of fam ine actually stare some sections in the face.

COMMUTE IN WASHINGTON Seeking Aid From the National ' Treasury. WORKING HARO TJ SAVE THE LEVEES. Memphis. Tenn., April G. The prediction made In these dispatches Friday that great disaster to the Mississippi Delta would follow- the breaking of the levee nt n point on the cast side of the river north of He'ena, Ark., has bccnteiribiy realized. The break at Flower Lake, whicli occurred yesterday morning, has it rapidly grown from u dozen feet in length to n thousand. Til's was the is conditloDof the crevasse 3 citcrdny af a ternoon at I o clock, when an Associated Press representative left the leveo north of the break. Effort is being made to tie each end of the levee, but owing to the dilllculty in getting material from the railroad, it live miles the success of the effort is doubtful. This crcynsso is at the bead of tho delta, and will eauso an ovcrllow of the northern tier of counties in Mississippi, with the exception of a part of Tunica. of The question that now confronts the planters is the duration of the llood. If the water is out of the delta 13' May 5 n crop of cotton can be grown, but cotton planted as late as May 10 has l.ttle chance of maturing before frost. There is still another danger. These crevasses of must all be closed before the June rise or there would be a second over-How. is The delta country produces annually no lc) than half a million bales of cotton. The river at Memphis was a last night. Much suffering is rcpoitcd from the oversowed regions. Relief sieatnciS arc making daily trips into Arkansas nud Mississippi, rescuing hundreds of people nnd bringing them Memphis. Tho local lcl'ef committee is doing everything possible for tho unfortunate refugees. At a meetiug of the committee late afternoon it was decided to ask other cities for help. The following appeal was issued : The cit3 of Memphis lias beeu providing for lho distressed llood sufferers ft oui tho ovcrllow ed districts of and Mississippi with some little outside assistance for several weeks. Few Tenncsseeans are iu of need, but the demands on Memphis for others are very great and are increasing every ihre. Indeed, the demands on our pco le have grown to to such proportions that we feel unable uuet them alone. Heretofore we have attempted to on this work without soliciting contributions from ulli r cities, although main- cities have generous given us voluutary aid If the kind people of other towns and cities now feel deposed to lend a helping hand this matter all donations received liv the relief committee will be highly of appreciated and judicious' managed.

THE 1887 RAILR?AD BONDS. Tho City PnyH $1,000 n ycr In- Which Will Ho Saved. MEANS A GR:AT DEAL TO TH: CI1Y. Councilman Livingston was seen today relative to his request made iu tlio council last night for the appointment of a committee to investigate the validity of the 8100,000 city bonds owned by the Chicago, St. Louis and Paducah railroad. He stated that he had already investigated the matter thoroughly.and had discovered the issue was illegal, as the vote authorizing the issuance was contrary to law, bonds for two railrcads being voted on the samo day. The Kentucky statutes expressly forbid that city stocks, bonds, etc., for any . two railroads, .. or anvthiti!? f o else, snail uo voted the fcamu dar. This would render the issue null and void, apparently. The ci y has $100,000 in stock in uic roao, ami pays I 'a per cent, per annum on tlie bonds. Since 1887, when the bonds were issued, about $35,000 has been paid out of the city treasur3'. If the council decides that the bonds were notlegalby issued this will exempt the city not only from the further payment of interest, bit the piincipd as well and will save 51,500 annunlb. The stock is not worth II fty cents on the dollar. "1 have explained the matter to several,'' said Mr. Livingston, "and only one said anything about being repudiation. I say it not repudfa'iou any more ban where a bank discounts note with Livingston & Co.'s sig nature and when it is presented to inc 1 say it is a forgc. We are not responsible for the mistake nnd the city was not legally authorized to issue the bonds. Hence if it is illegal is unjust, and the city's money should not be paid out unless it is tLjht and legal to pay it out." Hlight of Turkish Itule. A look at the history of the Island Samos since its cscapo from direct Turkish rulo is proof enough that the struggle of the Greek race everywhere to shake off Turkish oppression is justiflc I by every moral and material reason. Samos is much smaller than Crete and contains only 150 square miles, with n population about 00,000. Hut the same unconquerable spirit that exists in Crete found in Samos, and it won virtual t nutonoun' from the Sullnn nearby fifty years ago. Iu tho Greek revolution of 1821 Samos took determined part, and for nine years defied the Turkish forces. After the battle of Nnvarino, which established Greece as nu independent nation, the Powers decided that Samos, for geographical reasons, should still belong to Turkey nud be subject to n Turkish overlord. The Samians refused to submit for two years, and it was then arranged that thoy should be granted tho light to elect the'r owu couucil, with a president jo.ninatcd by the Sultan but a Greek in leliobn. lteyoud this, the island was required to rsy to the M'llan an nnuual subsidy of S1G,500. '1 Ins nnaucmcut was submitted lo unl'l 1S9, when a fresh outbreak was threatened in Simiios on account the abuses and exactions of the Turkish representatives. The Sultan had no relish fur another contest with the islanders, and further lights govern ihemsclves were granted. These included the clect'on of a nssembty, empowered to choose iheir own pieddent. A senate also was formed, of whom the Tuikish p-'nee named one-half. Public wera taken fiom lho priuce ami turned over to the native council.
