Deputy Sheriff Sullivan received a long list of witnesses. Before balloting for senator began In the Ji.lnt session, the Blackburn democrats asked that the absentees be called and answer "present," as did the botting republicans, showing that they had made up their minds to vote on all roll calls.

THE FLOOD SITUATION. . Omaha, April 14. There is lees dan ger of a cutoff of the Missouri river, and unless there are unlooked-for rises, or high winds from the north. It' Is probable that not much more damage will be done. The dikes were greatly strengthened today and have almost stopped the flow at the most dangerous point. The water Is spread out over a wide stretch of territory and surrounds a few more houses, but the change of the channel of the Missouri has beon averted, for the time at least. The men employed along the levee struck today for double pay. They were getting 15 cents an hour and de manded 30. Their demands were re fused and twenty quit work. Other men were easily procured. On the low, side of the river the water has inundated farms at a dis tance of three or four miles from the stream. Many Ihogs, cattle and horses were drowned. The flood is the worst since the inundation of 1SS1, and is do ing Immense damage to property along the river side. The flood seems to have reached its height and will proba bly fall from now on.

WAR REGARDED AS INEVITABLE Strain Cannot iMuch Longer lie ISora By Either Tarkey or Greece. GREEK PREMIER ASKS CREDIT Te rower Staid aa the fttegrity of Tar key tad Igaort the rropositiot of Greece lor Pacific Settleneat. Vienna, April 14. The. best Jnformed diplomats bera regard war as Inevita ble. Yhey say the strain cannot mucH longer be born by either Turkey or Greece, and that the time has passed for the powers to attempt to intervene. In view of the dangerous position as sumed by Greece, the question h reit erated whether she dots not count on some power coming to her support at the crucial moment. The situation Is regarded here aa analogous to the time when Sen-la at tacked Turkey, in 1878, when Russia and Great Britain saved defeated Ser. via from annihilation. Elaasona, April 14.
