Rapidly— Greenville Inundated.
Me sinus, March 31.— The disaster In the
Mississippi Valley increases. The fifteenth
crevasse opened on the lowlands early
this moruiug. The levee gave way at
Austin, Miss. The opening started at
five feet, and by 7 o'clock had increased to
400 feet. All efforts to close it have beeu
in vain, so far. No lives were lost, but
many head of stock; were drowned. The
main levee at Greenville broke to-day,
leaving the inside levee liable to go at
any minute. The crevasses in the. .levees
commencing first south of this . city
are -with the date of the break, and
width, as ftillowsV.-Austin, "March ."Ist, 400

I Millionaires, clergymen, professional men
and negroes work side by side night and
: day. - From now until nfter the river has
fallen :to its natural banks breaks
- will be of almost daily occurence, and even
at points where the, levees are said to be
in, strong condition it will require hard
• work to hold them. Government-r elief
.- boats are at work about Laconia Circle,
'.where there is the greatest suffering.
Greenville, Miss.," is shut out from the
outside world and Mayorsville is entirely
under' Water. All the . levees standing
• are • wavering, and there must bo a
general break. A circus boat came to
grief 'in the storm nt Island
No. 8, above this city. The people
'.and-.' wild .. animals and circus
•paraphernalia are -all' vp the bank and in
; nieily eiteiimf tarii^i. r Tun fiirix short cl '.
■ food." The animals have hisa '-.ing to eat .
for three days, and ate crazed with hunger. !
; There are six women <r'n the party and
eight or ten men. The boat Isa total wreck.
The snow-storm tore off the cabin and blew
the stern foremost on to the bank. Ono
Cage of tigers and three performing dogs
-were lost, hut none of the people were hurt.
• Lain has fallen in torrents since
last night. The Mississippi River is
again risiug, and it is probable that
all the lowlands below Helena will be Inun
dated. A break In the levee occurred at
'midnight at Austin, Miss., and this morn
ing, widened to 300 feet. There is no possi
ble way to close the gap, and it may in
crease to an unlimited extent. All the
'plantations in the vicinity are being rapidly
submerged. ....
J- Tenants are leaving without saving any
of their effects. - :. . • - ' ■ •_
J Caiko (111.). March 31.-The Ohio River
is rapidly rising. The present indications
: aro that the river will reach fifty feet here.
The Iron Mountain* and St. Louis nnd the
"Arkansas and Texas railroads are again
shut out from Bird's Point, and are trans
ferring their trains by Belmont.
Helena (Ark.), March 31.'— The river is
st a stand at 47.-feet9 inches. This it 3%
: inches below Uie high-water mark of 1886.
Steamers leaded with provisions have
• reached laconia Circle. The unfortunate
peopl<Hu that district are being relieved as
las', as possible. The levees around Helena
' '""still in good condition and a more con
fident feeling prevails.
" Nkw Obleans. March 31.— Advices from
various points ' regarding the Mississippi
levees show no marked change to-day, ex
cept in the vicinity of Skipwitb, where the
, water is steadily advancing, In the towns
of Mayersville.Fitiers and llay»y people aro
moving their goods as rapidly as possible.
There is no danger to human life, and most
of the stock ha« been taken to safe grounds.
In Madison parish ' the lotto bank •is
crumbling rapidly, but a new one is being,
built and may be completed in time to save
the country. The railroads In tiiat vicinity
aD d all along the river are the heaviest suf
ferers. Some divisions have been entirely
abandoned and others will bo soon unless
the situation improves. The town of Kay- J
ville is in imminent danger and a four-inch
rise will flood it.
_£\A new break has occurred at Huntington
! and the water in the town is now risiug at
' the rate of an inch aud, a half an hour, /ill
I railroads there have been abandoned. ■"'.♦•»■ *

Among the articles placed on the free list

Mr. Van lever said to-day in relation to
the Tariff Hill that he was considerably dis
appointed thai the Committee on Ways and
Means had not seen lit to fix the tariff ou
fruit at a higher average rate. Among other
growers Mr. Yandever appeared before
the Ways and Means Committee and in
short but decided statements asked that the
present tariff upon oranges should be in
creased, He is perfectly sutifi.-d with the
tariff on other fruit as fixed by the Ways
and Means Committee, but feels that in
stead of S- 50 per thousand on oranges in
bulk, the duty should havo been fixed at $.">
per thousand, as in the present coudition of
the tariff it Is more than likely that the
growers of Messina, Palermo and Havana
oranges will ship their entire crop of oranges
In bulk instead of in packages.

raised a storm :of indigusttia throughout'

As soon as the news reached here
to-day the Shoe and Leather Association
called an extraordinary meeting to consider
the situation. Representatives of 920,000,000
invested capital assembled, and resolutions
were drawn up deuuunc ing the committee
in every conceivable term for surrendering
to Western cattlemen. McKinley's ears
must have tingled. It was decided to at
once start a monster uetition demanding
free hides, to be sent to the House
of Representatives to fight the bill
there. A committee well supplied
with money will accompany it. It was at
the same time decided that the Legislatures
of Massachusetts, Maine and Connecticut
pass unanimous resolutions praying Con
gress to drop the tariff and ■ pre
vent jeopardizing Republican control of
the respective States by spreading the cause
of tariff reform. A canvass of the Legisla
ture and the leather trade resulted in the
unanimous opinion that the imposition
of the duty will drive GO per : , cent
of the leather trade iuto Canada,
where bark and labor is much
cheaper than here. The Democrats are
greatly tickled over the split in party
opinion here.
The big manufacturing towns to-night
are holding indignation meetings to adopt

Numerous petitions were presented favor
ing the free coinage of silver and opposing
the employment of aliens on public v. orks.
Reagan addressed the Senate on tin hill
for the issue of Treasury notes on deposits
of silver bullion.

the country from the effects of the Srarse

RIVERS AND HARBORS.
Tlie California Delegation Urges the Neces
- - 7. ~ sitj -cl- Appropriations, g J
Washington, March 81.— A large delega
tion of ban Francisco aud Sacramento men
appeared before the Committee on Rivers
and Harbors this afternoon and urged with
considerable emphasis the necessity for the
improvement of the San Joaquin, Feather
and Sacramento rivers. The delegation was
present at 10 o'clock this morning, but a
quorum of the committee failed to make its
appearance and the hearing was postponed
until 2 o'clock this afternoon. Several
members of the delegation were introduced
by Mr. McKenna, and by their practical
suggestions seemed to have heartily won
the respect of the , members of the commit
tee.
Chairman Henderson presided for a time,
after which Mr. Herrnian of Oregon took
the chair. The arguments were of a nature
such as already have been presented many
times before the committee, and urged the
necessity of appropriations for the clearing
of hydraulic mining debris from 260 miles
of the navigable stream of Sacramento
River, and the necessity of the clearing of
Feather River so far as was practicable.
Most of the entire afternoon was consumed
by the committee in hearing these argu
ments, aud the Deputy Chairman of the
committee, Mr. Hermann— himself a Coast
man— stated that there : was a strong dis
position to consider everything filed by the
Pacific Coast delegation now that hydraulic
mining had been entirely suppressed.
Mr. Vandever appeared before the com
mittee on Saturday and in his usual em
phatic : style impressed on the committee
. the necessity of appropriations for the
harbors of the Pacilic Coast south of Sau
Fraucisco. Ho especially gave his atten
tion to the harbors of San Diego, Wilming
ton and Sau Luis Obispo. He has been as
sured to a remarkable extent that the
8400,000 asked for by the army engineers
for the harbor of San Diego will be granted
by the committee and that Wilmington and
San Luis Obispo will be given a reasonable
amount to start the work necessary. " J
.-.>;; Mr. Vandever was most emphatic in his
remarks in asserting that Southern Califor
nia, with her large growth of cereals and
fruit, must eventually be • considered > as
having water rights by which she may com
pete with the railroad traffic, which she is
at present necessarily dependent on. Tlm,
building up of these > parts must of J.'sefKl
help Transatlantic railroad tr & so far ai-.i.
Pacific commerce is coiiceiued, but he was 1
especially desirous that his own people
should have lor the jjttrpcse of slow train? J
the benefits of water transportation. -

on account of his war record and also as an
Indian fighter and perhaDS also because he
