Banki Tlircatens Railroads.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 12. There Is
little change In the river situation tonight,
.and, although the rise today has been
slight, the situation" is considered grave
and the stage of more than SS feet is still
expected. The gauge tonight shows S5.S, a
rise of .2 since midnight last night.
The levee two miles south of Caruthers
vllle Is caving badly, and the greatest dan
ger is looked for at this point. The coun
try for 60 miles around Caruthersville Is
flooded, and railway traffic has been sus
pended. Another weak spot In the levee
system apparent now is at Vancluse, Ark.,
near Greenville, Miss. A "sand boil" ap
peared there just back of the levee Tues
day between the horns of a bend in the
river west of Lake Chicot. The "boll"
was promptly suppressed, but its appear
ance indicated an underground fissure that
may prove dangerous.
Private dispatches from Caruthersville
say the situation there is practically un
changed, and that the embankments will
hold a stage three feet greater than at
present.
Captain Iucas, in charge of the flrst-and
second districts, left here today for Helena
to personally investigate conditions in the
"White River' district. Supplies and men
were also sent there to strengthen the
levee. Supplies and men also have been
sent to Cat Tsland, where the rush of the
waters through the 17-mlle gap in the levee
is causing uneasiness, and to Pekan Point,
where the strengthening work is in prog
ress on the embankments.
No news has been received today from
the area in Mississippi County, Arkansas,
which was reported flooded yesterday by
water percolating through the embank
ments. The engineers here say the crest of the
rise probably will reach Memphis Sunday,
unless there are further heavy rains gen
eral over this area. They predict a record-breaking
stage of water on account
of the fact that the levees are holding
against the flood.
LEVEE IN IXDIAXA BREAKS.
"Water Ponru Over Great Area of Rich
FnrmiiiK Land.
VINCEN'NES, Ind., March 12. Although
the Wabash River is slowly falling at this
place, reports continue to be reclved of
the rise of White River, and with them
come stories of suffering among tho
poorer classes and those who failed to
heed the warning that high -water was. a
certainty in this section.
Tho levee at Red Cloud gave way and
let a vast amount of water Into the sur
rounding territory. The levees protected
thousands of Acres of land planted in
wheat, and was built along the White
River in the lower part of Knox County
The water came Into the fields with i
rush, and people had no time to battle
with It. Many school children were res
cued in boats.
Near Hazlcton thousands of acres of
land are covered with water and dozens of
homes abandoned.
LEVEES HOLD BACK FLOOD.
Constant Vigilance on Lower River
Gnards Against Flood.
NEW ORLEANS, March 12. The Mis
sissippi River reached a stage of 18.S feet
at S o'clock tonight, having risen one
tenth of a foot In the past 12 hours. In
spite of the high stage of the water, how
ever. Captain Bromwell. United States
Engineer, and the State Engineers say
that there has been no trouble anywhere
and that the 'levees are in good condition.
Guards are on duty everywhere, and there
are men and mllltla at convenient points
to be rushed to any point where danger
may arise.
An increased force of men was put to
work along the river front today, and
sacking is now to be carried on all along
the line.
RED RIVER MILES WIDE.
Another Grent Rufih of Water Is
Feared in Arkansas.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.. March 12. Dis
patches from towns of the state on. tho
interior rivers show that there is a great
rush of waters yet to come, and that In
many places there will be great loss of
property. At Garland City the Red River
is eight miles wide and rising. It is ris
ing rapidly at Fulton and it is thought
there will be another flood in this stream
os great as that of 1S92.

EVANSVILLE Ind., March 12. The be
lief this morning is that the greatest dan
ger from the flood at this point has passed.

decline of two-tenths feet in 24 hours. Un
less there are more general rains within

THE WAR IN CALIFORNIA
NORTHWEST LEAGUE MEETS WITH
SCAXT EX'COURAGEMEXT.
Ncvrspapers Apparently Caa See
Xothias hat Defeat for lacai,
Dosdale and McCloskey.
Henry Harris, commander-in-chief of the Pa
cific Coast Organization, which Is the new
title of the California League, figured that the
people-who have 'been keeping the sport going
by paying their money at the gate would like
to see fresh faces and more variety to the race
of 1903. He played his cards accordingly, and
annexed Portland and Seattle to his circuit. .
This cut two paying fields' out of the Pacific
Northwest League and developed belligerency
In the breasts of President Lucas and others
high in the councils of the Invaded organiza
tion. They called upon tbe National Association of
Minor Leacues. of which they were members
and Harris was not. to come to their aid. They
crifd that they were being crushed by an "out
law" league, and that a blow had been aimed
right at the Jaw of organized baseball.
Messrs. Hlckey and Sexton, two of the
6hrewdcst executives In the game, came West
and viewed the state of affairs. They told
Lucas that the case was hopeless; that Harris
held ;all the good cards. .
The Northwest inornate refused to heed the
doctors advice, and demanded & fight to the
death.
Harris says he will oblige.
The opposition has Its grounds, and says that
it has the players. It declares that so far as it
is concerned money is nothing.
The opposition up tonow hasn't named a man
that will wear Its clothes. Its one chance of
living through the season Is In the players It
can get. If it can turn out a superior class of
the pastime it will get the crowds."
Anybody that, knows the difference between a
sacrifice and safety also knows, that Lucas.
with all the xatycey hat was ever wasted in
ine ousiness, cannot, get we penormers mat
already are shaping up to work for the Pa
cific Coast proposition. ' '
Hlckey tried to make McCloskey see these
facts the other day. McCloskey Is one of Lu
cas' lieutenants. He comes from Butte, which
Is in Montana.
Hlckey said: "The trip from Montana to Los
Angeles will bo making you toll for glory; you
can't play In San Francisco every week with
only eight clubs and at least 12 clubs of terri
tory to cover; they hav6 as much capital- as
you have; they have grounds that are paid for;
you have to buy yours; they have the players;
where are yours? they have the confidence of
tho people; they are in their own field; in short.
everything is their way."
McCloskey was not ready to deal with facts.
His reply nearly resulted In a serious quarrel.
He screwed up his nose, cleared his throat, and
simply asked:
"How much has Harris paid you!"
Hlckey stepped toward the man. There was
menace In his attitude. Others Interfered and
the police were not called. San Francisco Ex
aminer.
The opposition baseball team In San Fran
cisco was hit In a vital spot Tuesday, when
Harry Hart and John Coleman, reputed back
ers of the club, wavered as the time came to
put .up the hard cash necessary to insure the
starting of tho scheme. Tne publication on
Sunday morning of the names ot tneae. men
and the plans which were hardly completed
had the effect of giving Coleman and Hart a
lot of information on the subject of competi
tion in baseball and the chances of financial
failure of this particular project. Before the
entire affair had been kept in the dark, and
the advice was, therefore, not forthcoming.
When It did arrive, there was such ah ava
lanche ot it, springing from disinterested
sources that Coleman and Hart wobbled la
their Intention to place the money in bank for
John J. McCloskey to use as he saw fit In fur
nishing a ball park and engaging a rival team.
San Francisco Chronicle.
What a busy lot of pkencilpushers there
are In San Francisco. No wonder they are
constantly being beaten up for telling the
news as it comes their way. Wouldn t
McCloskey, Lucas, Dugdale et aL be will
ing to tae a punch at the busybody who
told all about the threatened gun play
between McCloskey, the bluffer from
Butte, and the man with the peace pro
tocol. Hlckey.
It Is not to bo wondered at that Mc
Closkey wanted to make poor Hlckey a
subject of the Coroner's solicitation when
he suggested that an effort should be
made to restore peace before the "dogs
of war" were turned loose. It's dollars to
Chlnei?e yen that McCloskey, if he were
asked what The Hague stood for, would
reply, "Graft." That Is why he was so
ready to accuse the inoffensive Hlckey of
having been "seen." McCloskey knows
more about graft than be does about
peace; it would be a safe bet to make that
he even knows more about craft than he
does about baseball. In passing. It might
be well to say that this is nothing more
than natural, for who la there that ever
lived in the neighborhood of the Clarks.
and the Hclnzes that did not know more
about graft than anything ,else. Its in
fluences were eyen 60 far reachlmr that
a gentleman of the cloth gave to the world
a new definition of a lie.
All this being so, no wonder the theater
of the baseball war ia Just now centered
In San Francisco. McCloskey has said all
the baseball trouble Is brewed at the Bay
City. There must be something In this
or else W. H Lucas would not have' called
him there as his assistant. Lucas knows
what a great bluffer he Is. He was needed
and he went, Now Lucas, with McCloskey
as a bouncer, has driven Hlckey to the
Winter blasts of tho East, arid he wanted
a man with brains. That Is why he sent
a dispatch, to D. E. Dugdale. He Instructed
"Dug" to drink four bottles of "brain
food" and come on right away. When
Dugdale arrives in San Francisco, here
will be the line-up: Lucas, the figurehead;
McCloekey, the bluffer, and Dugdale, tho
brains. Looks good on paper.
Dugdale will send his eagle eye over the
Pacific Coast League situation, set the
wondrous cogs of hla brain to working
and then the fans can expect to hear
things. It may even be that "Dug"' might
suggest peace. Wonder If McCloskey- will
accuse "Dug" of having been seen"? At
any rate when the trio have done with
looking at "things" they will return to
meet at Tacoma.
Here Is the way the Seattle Times has
the situatlen sized up:
Perhaps Dttga hurried departure was brought
4-about over the action of P. C L. men In Los
Angeles. They met and voted $10,000 add!
tional with which to fight their battles. They
have also asked the league directors to change
the schedule so that they will play in Los
Angeles at the same time the P. N. L. plays
there. Good move, too. The "Native Son"
proposition is coming to the front strong down
in California. The fans and newspaper boys
all like the old order of things, and they will
stand by Morley, Harris and Mlque Fisher.
There isn't a paper there, at least not one that
reaches the Times office, that isn't standing by
the P. C L. We may be away off. but we
venture the prediction that socner or later one
ot the leagues will Quit, To begin with, the
P. C L. has a reserve fund of $30,000. against
the reserve fund of the P. N. L. of ?S000. In
addition to that. Los Angeles has voted $10,000
more, and San Francisco, Seattle and Portland
will follow suit. That will make an even $50,
000 against 53000, with Sacramento and Oak
land still to be heard from. Now If there is
going to be a fight, and there may be one, take
the above figures and solve the problem.
Unless Sexton is able to point out to the P.
N. L. the financial errors of their several ways,
a meeting of the Coast League directors will be
held in the very near future, and shying their
little old $50,000 into the ring, they will so ar
range their schedule as to parallel that of the
P. N. L., so that in Seattle. Portland. San
Francisco anS" Los Angeles they will play ball
every day their opponents do. One day extra,
too. by the way. because the Coast people will
play six games per week, while the old league
will play but five.
HAS GROUNDS IX NEW YORK.
American League at Last Ready for
Club In Metropolis.
NEW YORK, March 12. President Ban
.Johnson, of the American League, an
nounced tonight that the New York
grounds will be between One Hundred and
Sixty-fifth and Qno?Kundred and Sixty
sixth streets. Eleventh avenue and Fort
Washington avenue. The president of the
New York American League team will
be Joseph Gordon, a builder and coal and
wood dealer, a member of Tammany Hall
and of the New "York Athletic, Demo
cratic and Tiiden Clubs. Associated with
him will be John B. Dry, the old baseball
man. once president of the New York Na
tional League team.
According to a statement given out by
President Johnson tonight; the grounds
are the largest In the country, averaging
"SO by 630 feet. Until the subway is com
pleted next year, patrons will be com
pelled to use the surface roads, -which
pass within a block of the grounds. The
contractors will begin work tomorrow
preparing- the grounds, and work on the
stands will follow within e few daya
There will bo a "seating capacity of 1S.00O.
The property belongs to the New York
Institute for the Blind and has been leased
by the American League club for ten
years. Mr. Johnson's statement says: -
"By force of circumstances vrc were
compelled to. place the cart before the
horse. That la to say, we were forced to
isign all of our players for tho New York
club before we got grounds or backing
here. In order to do this, the American
League voted to foot all the bills until sat
isfactory quarters had been secured, in
New York, and as tho money was quickly
forthcoming, little time was lost In secur
ing the necessary players. It took a
great deal of money to land this team,
which I have every reason to believe will
rank high among the leaders In the Amer
ican League race."

ATTEL HAS BEST OF TOY.
Fight Between Clever Man and Big,
Htyiky One.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 12.-After 20
rounds of fairly good fighting. Abe Attel,
of this city, was awarded the decision
over Eddie Toy. .
It was a case of an exceedingly clever
man against a strong, husky fighter. In
but one round did Toy have Attel at
disadvantage. From the first to. the 13th
round the men fought a clean and clever
contest, but T.oy, seeing that he could
not hurt Attel to any extent, commenced
to rough it, using his head and shoulders
to hustle Attel around the ring. In the
17th round Attel put a terrific right to
Toy's Jaw, and from that on to the fin
ish Toy fought to save himself from a
knock-out.
Attel had his man going on several oc
caslons. but lacked the punch necessarv
to finish him. Toy entered the ring fully
10 pounds heavier than Attel.

Many Men Treated for a "Weakness
Which Xever Existed.
Not Weakness; Symptoms!
By far the greater number of patients, how
ever, seeking rellef.for so-called "Weakness"
is furnished by healthy and robust men. On
examination, we nnd a Prostate Gland which
has beta damaged by either a contracted dis
order or early dissipation. These patients have
no weakness at alt. Prematureneas, Loss of
Vitality, etc. are the -symptoms, or disordered
function, of the chronically inflamed prostate
Eland. We find by curing this inflammation
that full visor at once return;. It should be
understood that tonics, electricity, etc., might
cure a real weakness, but would do harm in
