MEMPHIS, T1SNN., cMarch 20,-Tho
foellng of hope that was produced yes?
terday and last nlght by the Mlsslssippl
Rlvor comlng to a stand at thls point,
with 40.1 feot on tho gaugo, was dls
pelled to-day by tho occurrcnco of two
addltional breaks In lho St, Francls
levoes north of tho flrst crevasse at
Trlco'a Landlng, Ark., nnd tho grave
roports that aro bolng received from
Mlsslssippl as woll as by a rise of-one
tenth horo.
' To-day tho St, Francls leveo gnve way
at Random, Shot and Shawneo Vlllngo,
Ark., tho llrst about , forty-ono mllos
,from Memphls nnd tho second about
thlrty-llvo mlle.', Both crovassos aro rc
portcd to bo serlous, tho one at Shawneo
belng tho worst of the threo. The situa?
tlon, thoreforo, ln Arkansas is'' much
compllcnted nnd made more grave than
t nny tlme during tho flood. Just whnt
wlll bo tho extent of tho damage and
sufferlng wlll not bo known for several
dhys, and tho calamltles havo come so
' thlck and fant that relief mca'sures havo
been and must be for sovoral days.com?
pletoly inndoquate. The Ipng llno of
lovees thnt protect tho vast and fortllo
della. reglon of .that Stato are reported
to bo in critical conditlon at many
polnts. At many places the water ls
swceplng through tho embankments,
floodlng Iands and vlllagea, and ln othor
places tno embankments nro overtoppod
by the floods and enormous c'|uantltlcs
of water 'aro being dlschargcil Into the
country behlnd the embankmonts. The
most encournglng feature is that the
rlver hore has remnlned statlonary all
day,
NI5W MAX.IMUM.
The stago thls morning was 10.1, a rise
of 0.1 In twelve hours. Tho stnge has not
changed during the day. Thls ls the grcat
est recorded and sets a new maxlmum.
It ls hoped that tho fail will bogln to
night or Jto-morrow. The two breaks
on the Arkansas shore are thought to bo
exertlng a groat Infiuence on tho flood.
ns a large amount of water Is escaplng
through them.
Refugees are crowdlng into Memphls
nnd tho facllltles aro too llmlted to care
for them. Secretary of War Root hns
nnswerod to nn appeal that he wlll do
what he can to glve relief to the (lood
BUfferers. Tho government wlll Issue
tents for the refugeos. These tonts wlll
bo pltched on vacant lots, nnd eommls
eary Buppllos wlll bo Issued to tho suffcr
ers. so that thoy wlll dot lack for neces
Bltlea.
Out of the refugco situatlon thero Is
growlng a grent hardshlp to tho clty ond
to tho planters of tho reglons that nre
not as yot flooded. From tho protected
Bectlons ablo-bodlcd negroes and thelr

though tho varlous systems that hrivc
had tholr tracks washed away by tho

aro Bparlng no money to open thelr

ls stlll complotely suspended, and that
no predlctlons of tho tltnh of relief enn

to-day may tend to compllcnto tho situ?

thls new rpotirlng ln of water wlll destroy

the west of tho present gaps,
By roundnbottt ways tho rallways are

Tho meotlng waa called for tho purpose
of consldering tho roport of tho Flnanco
Commltteo In Its recommcndatton that
tho Ilquor llcenso of tho clty bo Incrensed
to ?ltfj, lnstead of $30, as lt now stands.
Chalrman Wakefield called tho moot?

dealers and thelr representatlve, Mr, Er
nest H, Wolls, bo heard, aftor whlch the

There was no cecond to thls motlon,
and Mr. Bradloy offered an amendmont
that tlio wholo mattor go over to tho
next regular meotlng ln April.
Mr. Bradley gave as hls reason for
maklng thls motlon that the action ot
tho Flnanco Commltteo of tho Leglsla?
ture, ln lncreaslng the State llcense 100
per cent., had materlally changed the
conditlon of things. Hg folt that no
hasty dctlon should bo taken on the re?
port of tho commltteo, as he dld not, and
ho dld not thlnk any member of the
Councll dld, desire to put tho Ilquor
dealers out of buslness. He sald that
Councll should take no action In the mat?
ter untll the Leglslature had acted, and
he thought that such action wouid be
taken bofore tho next meotlng of Coun?
cll.
Mr. Sampson soconded Mr. Bradley's
motlon, and Mr. Pettit nsked .that the
Ilquor dealers state tholr posltlon on the
motlon to- postpono.
On txAalf of tho dealors, Mr. Wolls
sald that he wouid be glad to havo a
postponoment, ns he thought that Coun?
cilmen wouid be better prepared to vote
upon the subject after thoy had consld?
ered tho action of tho leglslatlve com?
mlttee.
Mr. Pettit nlso secondcd tho motlon
made by Mr. Bradley, and it was carried
unanlmoualy, nnd upon motlon of Mr.
Owen Councll adjournod.
In convorsatlon with Tho Tlmes-Dls
patch representatlve sevoral members of

uatlon as presented by tho Leglslature,
they wouid not agreo to an Inaroaso of

FINANCE COMMITTEH'S ACTION.
Tffe dlscusslon of thls matter, In the
Common Councll's speclal meeting Thurs?
day afternoon, and the refusal of the
body to follow the course suggested by
the Finance Committee, was much talked
of about tho City Hall yesterday. Chalr?
man james R, Gordon, of the Finance
Committee, was seen last nlght. by a
Tlmes-Dispitch reporter, and asked as
to the rcaeons that Influenced tho com?
mittee to ask that the payment of the
money provlded ln tho budgot be with
hold. Theso are the facts aa glven by Mr.
Gordon:
Long before the present Councll came
into power there was passed an ordlnanco
authorizing thn constructlon of a new
clty Jall, to be bullt under the supervls
!on of th. Comtnlttoe on Grounds and
Buildings. An approprlation of $6S,-00 was
mado for the purposo, and the clty en
glneor drow plans and speclflcatlons.
Tho contract waa awarded to the Stew?
art Iron Works, of Cinclnnatl, and, the
work was undartakon. lt was to bo
completed wlthln a stated tlme, or, so the
Finance Committee thinks, the cjty was
to b.-reimbursed for any extra expendi
tures on Its part for the rontal of a sult
abl. bulldlng ln whlch to contlne tbo
prlsonors.
The work was delayed, flrst for one rea?
son- and then another, untll long after
the tlme tlmlt had explred. but during
tho constructlon numbors 0f changps were
mado In the plans, and extra expense wao
entailed upon the controctors, so they
clalm.
Flnally, tho prlson was completed, ana
the questlon of extra compensatlon for tho
contractor camo up. It was adJuBted by
aws-rcling >5.S27.22 for the extra work, and
tho Grounds and Bulldlngs Committee re?
ported a resolution to tho Council, ask
Ing that this amount be npproprlated to
pay tbe additlonnl expense, No reduc
tion was made for tbo mon?y expended
for rontal by the clty.
The resolutlop was sent to the Councll
ana referred, as usual, to tho Flnanoe
Committee. At tr^e same tlme the budget
wns nearlng coijipletlon and tho. depart?
ments of Wio clty were more or I.hb Idle
for the want of money with whlch to
carry on tho work,

not embrnce any reductlpn for the delay

the city.
Tho resolution nsklng, for the money.

sum of $10,000 hnd be_n lnsorte<j on the
statement of Mr, Warron, aftor ho had

In the meantime, after jpassing the
budget, the Finance Committee held its
rogular monthly meetlng, and prlor to the
session Chalrman Gordon, as is hls ln
varlab.le custom, looked through tbe pa
pors to bo takon up. Ho camo to the one
in regard to'the ettra warfe and mnde
kiqulries to ascertaln lf any raduction
had beon made for nddltlonal Wxpense
incurred by the clty, and whlch wan occa?
slonod by tho dolny on th6 bulldlng.
Clty Engineer Cutshaw informcd hlm
that It had not, and Clty Attorney Pol?
lard held that< the elty had an equitable
clalm whloh could bo logally collected
So a speclal meotlng of the committee
wns called. and these facts lald before
them, wlth the result that a resolution
wbs adoptod and sent to the Councll
rocommendlng tliat tho' Audttor be in
struet.d not to Issuo a warrant for the
payment for tho oxtras untll after the
Finance Commltteo had Had an oppor?
tunlty to lnvostlgate.
At the speclal meetlng of the Councll
Thursday aftornoon this rosojutlon cre?
ated long and cxcltlng debato, It met
wlth bltter opposltlon from the Grounds
nnd Bulldlngs Committee, and the Fi?
nance Commltteo was severoly crlticised
by membors of the former body. The
resolution waa lost.
Followlng tho actlon of the Council ln
rejectlng tlho rosolutlon, the FJnnnca Com
mltee heid a meeting, at whlch the recom
mendatlon t,hnt the extra sum bo appro*
printed wns talten up. Thls resulted in
a report belng formulated to tho effect
tliat the approprlation be rejected, on
six grounds, whlcb were set forth yes?
terday In The Tlmos-Dlspatc'n. This now
goes to tho Councll.
Tlio chief reason tho Finance Commlt
tse has for recommendlng tihe rojoctlon
of tha approprlation Is thnt thore Is n
dlstlnct alfference of oplnlon betw;een the
Gtounda and Bulldlngs Committee on the
ona slde, and the Clty Engineer and Clty
Attorney on the other, ns to Justness of
th. clalm for extrns. Tho Cfty Attorney
nnd Clty Engtnoer hold that the clty U
entltled to an offset for tho expense oc
caploncd by tho delay in completlng the
Jall.
SAYS ~7VLiU BE PAID.
There ls a dlfforonce of oplnlon as to
whether rjr.not.the money can now be
pald to tlho contrnctors'. A member of
tho GroundB nnd Bulldlngs Committee sald
last nlght'that the clalm of tho contrnc

bo pald wlthout consnltlng tho Councll or
nnybody else, Mr. Gordon waa of Jus*
the opposlte oplnlon. Tha di?lay in com?
pletlng /tho jnll was accounted for ln
tho maln by the Groun'ds and Buildings
member by clmngos mado In tho plans
nfter tho contrnot for the buildlng was
awarded.
Colonol Cutshaw waa seen, but he do
