FLOOD STILL RAGING Many Lives Lost and Much Property Destroyed by the Miss issippi Flood li reeks to the Number. of 30,000 Threaten a Revolt in Constantinople Inad equate Means for Relieving; the Sufferers From the Flood of the Miss issippi Washington, Marcn is). This was a stormy day in tbe house of represen tatives. Tbe republican leaders, be fore adjournment, secured the adoption of a special order fixing tbe limits of tbe taritt debate, and two of the regu lar appropriation bills which failed to become laws at-the last session were passed and sent to the senate. Tbe other two will be passed tomorrow, so that, as Cannon remarked today, all the driftwood of the last congress will be swept away before the Btruggle over the tariff begins. After a good deal of crossfiring be tween Dingley and McMillin, it was finally arranged that 5000 extra copies of the majority and minority reports, and also 5000 copies of a comparative statement of the tariff, should be printed. Dalzell, from the com mittee on rules, piesented the special rules under ch the house was to operate during tbe tariff debate. The rules provided ibat general debate begin on Monday at 10 o'clock and continue to and in cluding Thmsday, March 25, with night sessions, after which - the bill should be open to Amendment under the five-minute rule (committee amend ments to have precedence), until March 31, when the bill, with pending amend ments, should be reported from the committee of the whole and the pre vious question be considered ordered, on the third reading and final passage of the bill. The rules also gave leave to print for 20 days. DEATH JN TH FLOOD. Fifty Negroes Drowned on the Lowlands of Tennessee. Meajpbis, March 19. Sensational rumors are afloat today as to the break ing of levees above and below tbe city, causing serious damage to property and stock. . So far these reports have not been verified in full, but sufficient is known to warrant the statement that before nightfall an additional 200 square miles of territory will be sub merged. ' In the territory covered by life steamers appalling facts came to light this morning. Drownings of negroes are officially reported until the num ber now reaches almost half a hun dred. The relief committee thus far has ample funds to feed and clothe all the afflicted in the city. Telegrams from points 65 miles south of this place ask for steamers to rescus tbe people left by the last trip of the boats. Two steamers .were despatched east and west, and are expected to return at midnight with several hundred per sons. A dispatch from Washington author ized government engineers to lend men to further the protection of life and property. The river is still rising. A family of six found a watery grave by the capsizing of a dugout while making for his land today. Two were infants. Along the Memphis levee, for half a mile, there is a congregation of negroes awaiting- their turns for re lief. No one is refused. No Relief in Sight. - Washington, March 19. The heavy rains of tbe past 48 hours in central valleys will cause a continued rise of the Cumberland, Tennessee, Lower Ohio and Mississippi rivers and inten- s.ry the threatened nooa conditions n.eviously announced. It is probable the floods in the Lower y ?-issiDPi valley during the next ten ys or two weeks will in many places equal or exceed any previous year. Additional warning is given resi dents in the threatened districts of Louisiana, Arkansas and West Missis sippi to remove irom tne region ot danger. . An Alleged Greek Plot. liONDON, Mrch 19. A special from Galataz, Boumania. says it . is an nounced there in police circles that a plot is being 'hatched among the Greeks at Constantinople, where 30,000 well armed Greeks live, to revolt against the government. There are few Turkish troops now in Constantinople except tbe Sultan's body guard, and it would be impossible to hurriedly recall the trooos from the Greek frontier in the event of a revolt. Lane County Stock Suffering. Eugene, Or., March 19. The cold storms are killing cattle and sheep on the ranges, and heavy losses are re ported from all directions. Tbe feed supply is completely exhausted, and the stock are so reduced in strength that they cannot withstand the severe weather. The losses are heavier than for years. - At a Comfortable Salary. Tacoma, March 19. J. J.Anderson, fo. inerly chairman of the Puyallup In- d'an. commission, returned today from Washington bearing an appointment as ene of the United States inspectors of Indian schools, at a salary of $2600 a year. He received the appointment from Secretary Francis, just before tbe Cleveland administration ended. Rua Without Appropriations. Salem, Or. Marph 21. State insti tutions continue to run as of yore, notwithstanding the lack of appropria tions. It is the custom of the state to pay quarterly. The end of tl e first quarter of the year will come with tbe end of March. At that time, there will be a demand for money on their claims; but the first general demand will be at the close of the quarter. There is no doubt money will be ad vanced on valid cliims, as it has been done already. t or all claims hied wiDh the secre tary of state, a duplicate of the voucher is furnished the claimant as evidence of indebtedness. As much as 75 er cent of their face value has been ad vanced on claims by Salem banks. SHOOTING OF HALL. Inqnest Over the Remains of tbe V'mpqna Trapper. MEDFORD, March 21. Coroner Marchuessner and District Attorney J. A. Jeffrey returned today from Elk creek, where they were called to bold an inquest on the body of Gustav A, Hall, who was found dead near his cabin Monday. The trip was anything but a desirable one, as a good portion of it was through snow knee-deep, by way of mountain trails. Tne scene of the shooting was the Umpqua divide, 50 miles nor heast of this city. Upon tne arrival or the coroner, a jury was empanelled, and an inquest held. The jury found that the man came to his death by a gun-shot wound and tbe gun was fired in the hands of Lee Par sons, a young man living in that local ity. Parsons was placed under arrest, and taken before Justice A. J. Willard and after a number of witnesses had Deen examined he was held to appear before the grand jury. Parsons is a boy about 20 years old. and lived with his uncle a few miles from tbe scene of the shooting.

Postmas ter-General Gary will continue the old policy as to distributing patronage of the post-offices and be announced to tbe Associated Press today that he would not deviate from the practice followed by past administrations. This, as a general rule, gives to every sena tor the privilege of recommending a postmaster for his home postoffice, and allots to each republican senator the large postofllces in his district, which, however, in the case of a senator not of the republican faith, will go to the republican committee or other referee. With these exceptions, the republican representatives aie "usually permitted to name the postmasters for their re spective districts. In democratic dis tricts, the selection is left to a referee, and perhaps to a. republican congres sional delegation, who will have to keep themselves posted as to the dates of expiration of terms of postmasters, as the old custom of the department of sending notices to senators and repre sentatives of expirations of postmas ters' commissions, which was stopped by Postmaster-General Bissell, will not be resumed.

Ex-Governor McG raw Was Short In His Account When Sheriff Democrats in Federal Office Will be Re tained Vntll Their Terms Expire. Canea, March 21. The situation in Crete today may bo described as one of expectancy. This morning the fact that the blockade had formally begun was generally communicated from Canea to all points in the island in tle telegraphic circuit. Pillaging still continues. Three Turkish soldiers who were caught in the act of pillage Saturday night at Hal e pa fired on the gendarmes, who returned the fire, killing one of them Some doubt is now expressed by of- fic'als here as to whether Colonel Vas- sos, commander of the Greek forces in Crete, will be able to hold out Ion;, owing to the scarcity of provisions. It is denied by the officials that tbe-.e is friction between the admirals and tbe consuls. APPARENT SHORTAGE. Discovered in the Accounts of Ex-Sberiff M'Uraw, Seattle, March 20. As aside issue of the investigation now going on at the county courthouse to discover the exact condition of the road and bridge fund, from which it is claimed much money has been stolen by road super visors and their confederates, expert accountants have reported an. appar- nt shortage in ex-Sheriff John H. Mc Graw's accounts of between $8000 and $9000. Ex-Sheriff McGtaw is now ex- Governor McGraw, In talking of the alleged shortage to the a380ciated pre98 correspondent to- night, the ex-governor said that up to the time he had been afforded the. op- poi lunity of making a hasty examina tion of the experts' reoort, he had im plicit confidence in the thoroughness and integrity of his deputies and clerks. He said, however, that he was inclined to think that there was a shortage, and be would take immediate steps to see that it was covered. The amount claimed to be due from the ex-sheriff Is $8890, and he will put up that amount on the condition that, if the claim is excessive, he will be allowed a rebate. Of course, this is subject to tbe provis ion that an investigation shall show that there is an actual shortage. . CUBA WILL BE FBEE. The Opinion is Now Generally Prevalent in Havana. New York, March 22. A Wo-ld dispatch from Havana says: Only a few i of the more excitable Spanish officers refuse to admit that Cuba is lost to the crown. Resident Spaniards confess they can see no other outcome. In fact, evidences that Cuba may in the end be freed by Spanish residents themselves . are many and strong. The calmest minds pred'.c the end of Spanish rule within two years. Some say not so soon; otners say within a year. The proposition of Cisneros and Gomez, sent in writing to the Ne York World, to buy the island, is growing in popularity here. Its warm est advocates are Spanish residents here, loval to the crown. They are tbe active financial and business men of the island, the owners ot eight- tenths of its wealth and its sources of wealth. Tbe Spanish element is condemning with more and more emphasis tbe fruitless, exhausting policy of General Weyler. They see his idea of naciflca- tion is depopulation; his plan for peace, devastation. Farmers, laborers and all wealth-producing classes in the country are driven to their graves or to the rebel ranks to destroy what re mains. Wealth aiready produced is given to flames. They see that Cap tain-General Weyler is making no military progress. The Cubans are being left more and more in possession of the country. They frequently sack small towns close to Havaua. They are in force in cities of the fourth and third class once or twice' a month. Such things grow more common. . BLOCKADE IS VBELE88. - Greek Army of Occupation Cannot be Starved Out. Constantinople, March 22. The opinion prevails here that the blackade of Crete by tbe fleets of the foreign powers, which commenced yesterday, will be useless, as Colonel Vassos, commander of the Greek army of oc cupation, is wall supplied with pro visions. It is thought the best means to accomplish the with-drawal of the Greek troops from Crete would be to withdraw the Turkish troops. Edhem Pasha, Turkish commander in Macedonia, has telegraphed to the minister of war not to send any more reinfo"cements on account of the scar city of provisions. The commander of the Turkish squadron, which justmade ready for sea, received sealed orders, but it is not believed the warships will leave Gallipoll. The Turks at Tokat yesterday at tacked the Armenians in a church. Fifteen were killed. It is feared this outbreak marks a renewal of the mas sacres. BKUAlt TRUST WON. Arbuckle Bros.' Famous Suit ia Decided Against Them. Toledo, O., March 22. The long- exoected decision of Judge Morris, of the common pleas rou-t, in the suit of Arbuckle Bros., against the sugar trust, was delivered this morning. It is in favor of the latter. The suit was brought by Thomas J. Kuhn and the Arbuckles, owners of minority stock in the Woolson Spioe Company, and leading stockholders in t,he American Sugar Refining Com- pany, for the appointment of a receiv er for the W oolson Company, a ma jority of whose stock had been bought by tbe Ilavemeyers, of the trust. i he plaintiffs declared the sugar trust purchased this stock to injure Arbuckle Bros, and keep them from going into the sugar refining businexs, that business being run at a loss, and therefore the protection of the inter ests of the minority stockholders re quired that a perpetual injunction be made against the Woolsons for selling coffee at a loss, and that a receiver be appointed to conduct the business. Judge Morris holds the matter of the price at which the company may sell its coffee strictly pertains to the inter nal agreement of the concern, and as long as they act in good faith tbe di rectors cannot be interfered with by the court, which cannot restrain a cor poration for selling at a low price. even though a minority of the stock holders can show that sound business discretion wou'd dictate a different policy. The testimony, however showed that the Wool son's were sell ing at a fair margin of profit. The ap plication for jperpetual injunction is, therefore denied.

The new schedule would increase man ufacturing, aid woolgrowera and ulti mately increase the revenue. .The sugar schedule would increase the rev enue and encourage sugar production in this country. Dingley estimated that during tne second year the bill would yield $103, OOO.OUQ increased revenue. In con clusion, he u"ged the need of prompt action.
