The situation in the cattle region north

alarming, and a repetition of the disasters
of the winter of 1882-83, when thousands
of cattle Buccnmbed, are feared. There
is two feet of snow from New Ox ley

The Great River Is Fifteen Miles Wide in Plac
es Strange Scenes in the Submerg
ed Districts The Worst
Seems Past
Memphis, Tenn., Mprch 14. To-night
the river is up 36.4 teet, the highest
point eyer recorded, and is still rising.
The opinion here is that the levees on
the Mississippi side will be able to with
stand the pressure of the great flood, but
the situation on the Arkansas side below
Arkansas City is far from reassuring, al
though the damage, should the levee
give away, would be slight, "compared
with the destruction which would ensue
should the east bank break.
Passengers on the Louisville, New Or
leans & Texas railroad, arriving here to
day report navel scenes along the rail
road. The lowlands and lagoons in the
Mississippi delta are flooded until the
only dry land visible is the ridge on
whicji the tracks run, and a few promon
tories protruding above the water. These
places afford shelter for hundreds of
squirrels and other small game. The
huts and cabins in the lower lands are
submerged several feet in water. Tied
to the doors are skiffs and dugouts which
afford the occupants the only means of
transit from one place to another. Ev
erything presents an air of desolation.
Between Vicksburg and Lula, Miss., the
water is highest, and farmers who have
not already moved are making every
preparation to do so. Along the line of
the Memphis & Little Rock railroad the
same state of affairs exists. Unless the
waters in the Mississippi and Arkansas
resede more rapidly than before, the un
fortunate people will suffer great priva
tions. A correspondent of the Appeal
telegraphs from Arkansas City to-night
that the condition of the levees between
Memphis and that place was not alarm-
ing. The Circle river, back of Laconia,
he says, will break before Tuesday next
There are 2000 people living inside the
circle, nine-tenths of them negroes. The
destruction to the stock and property
will be enormous. The levees on the
Arkansas river are washing away.
m New Obieass. Maroh 14. The oondi-
tnoncies, aiaeu Dy me fscnvcraao,
strengthened the weak places in the le- j
vee and constructed temporary levees of
bags filled with earth, from St Louis to
Hospital street and other points, but
from St Louis street to Canal, where so
mnch water came in yesterday, nothing
has been done. The levees in this sec
tion were injured more by wind and
weather than by flood. To-day the wind
is blowing from the North with a veloc
ity of thirty miles an hour. Governor
Nichols to-day issued a proclamation re
questing that all steamers keep as near
mid-stream as possible and run as slow
as circumstances will permit during the
present freshet in the lower Mississippi.
The wares have done a good deal of
damage to temporary work on the
levees.
A dispatoh from Greenville, Miss., late
to-night, says the situation there is much
improved, and that the weak spots in
the levee have been strengthened so that
fear of breaks is much lessened. The
Arkansas levees, opposite Greenville are
also all right
jmewpobt, ate., Maroh 14. The river
commenced running over the levees last
night, and the whole town, except Fort
street, is now from four inches to two
feet under water. Business is entirely
suspended. The damage to the adjacent
country is immense. The rise was sud
den and without warning. Everything
movable is gone. The country south of
Newport, which embraces some of the
finest farms in the state is also inundat
ed. Between Helena and the mouth of
St. Francis river there are very few
spots of dry land, and a rise of 2 feet
will certainly cover everything. In
some places the river is from five to sev
en miles wide.

REDUCTION OF TOBACCO TAX
increased Tariff on Tin Plate Steel Rails Be
daced Agricultural Products Not
Produced at Home, Free
Except Sugar.
The special correspondent of the Port
land Oregonian by telegram to that pa
per, gives the present status of the new
tariff bill, from whioh is taken the fol
lowing: Washington, March 13. The house
ways and means committee is still work
ing hard trying to get together on
the tariff on sugar, and it is
now asserted that an agreemen t will be
reached so that the bill may be reported
to the house certainly not later than the
first day of April. The other schedules
of the bill have been practically arrang
ed and agreed upon. There will be a re
duction of i $42,000,000 in the tobacco
tax. The lioense tax will be abolished,
and restrictions in the way of special tax
on the sale of leaf tobaooo by producers
removed.
The duty on steel rails will be reduced
from 817 to $13 per ton.
An attempt will be made to give an
impetus to the production of tin plate by
increasing the duty on that artiole from
1 to 2 oents per pound, in the hope that
it will afford protection enough to put
the new industry solidly on its feet.
It has been praotieally decided not to

Kincaid Returned to Prlsion Pending an In
quest
Washington, March 11. Ex-Congress
man Preston Tanlbee, of Kentucky, who
was shot in the head by Charles E. Kin
caid. correspondent of the Louisville
Times, in the house wing of the capitol,
on the afternoon of February 28, died at
4:45 o'clock this morning at Providence
hospital. Tanlbee had been unconsci
ous for some time before his death and
the end was painless. Kincaid who had
been out on bail, was arrested a very
short time after Taulbee's death and
locked up to await the action of the
coroner. He announced his intention to
surrender to the authorities in oase the
shot resulted fatally.
A reporter visited the station house
soon after Kinoaid's arrest, and found
bim looking pale and sickly. He seem
ed entirely oblivious to his surroundings
and is a wreck of his former self. Kin
oaid's condition is serious, and it is the
opinion of manv of his friends that he
will not live to stand his trial-
Further Discount in Sugar.
! New Tobk, March 14. Jobbers of su
gar and first hand buyers throughout
the country will be gratified to learn
that competition between trust and in
dependent refineries in placing refined
sugar, has brought about a further oon
cession in their favor, in that beginning
with to-day the discount will be made
per cent, on purchases, instead of per
oent. as formirly.
Vicksbukg, Miss. March 14. The

Mississippi levees wefe down. Great
gangs of men are hard at work trying to
save the levees.
Cairo, 111., March 14 The width of

CUBAN PEOPLE RESTLESS.
They Want Independence or Annexation.
Havana, March 12. The agitation
favor of annexation of Cuba by the
United States has at last reached a cris
is. Journals whioh have been openly
advocating annexation have received a
warning which has checked their utter
ances. La Pordo, which has been con
spicious for its vigorous denunciation of
the government and advocacy of inde
pendence or annexation, oapped the cli
max last week by saying: "TheJSpanish
government, by its disgraceful
administration of affairs in this island,
has done more than anything else to
throw Cuba into the arms of the United
States. The editor of the paper was ar
rested two days ago and is still in pris
on. Other journals are now more cau
tious, but the agitation is stronger than
ever.
per oent per pound on olothing and
oombing wools over the present law.
The senate bill which passed January
22, 1889 proposed 4 cents on carpet wool
whether trashed or unwashed, but the"
rates of the proposed bill of 3J, cents on
unwashed, with higher rates on washed
and scoured, make it muoh better for
wool-growers than the senate bill, be
sides which the restrictions of Major Mc
Kinley's bill, in connection with his ad
ministrative bill, add muoh to the. pro
tective features as to all wools, and in
these respects are much better than
those found in any other tariff law. We
now respectfully urge the friends of pro
tection of Amerioan industry all over the
country to appeal to their representa
tives in oongress to give their support to
this measure and not to surrender any
one of the features of its protective provisions.

BAYONETS COULD NOT STOP IT.
Frightened Herds or Cattle Flee Before the '
Hushing Boomers.
An Oregonian dispatoh from Arkansas
City, Kan., dated March 14, says;
Yesterday afternoon all was quiet
among the boomers. Sir hours later a
scene of excitement was witnessed equal
ing that which accompanied the inva
sion of Oklahoma a year ago. News
had been received from Washington that
the Oklahoma biU had passed the honse.
The wool men have been told that they
will get all the protection they ask for
A leading member of the committee says
that the biU was being prepared with a
view to meeting as far as possible the
desires of the agricultural interest, keep
ing in mind at all times the necessity for
reducing taxation as much as possible.
To this end the free list will be enlarged
by placing upon it all products not pro
duced in this country, and in other ways
the free list is to be extended so as to
bring -about tho desired reductions in
revenue made possible by the committee
not to abolish altogether the tax on to-
acoo and sugar.
It is now stated emphatically by the
men who are engaged in making np this
bill, that there will be no provision in it
for suspension of the operations of the
sinking fund act .
David Harpster, president of the Ohio
Wool Growers' Association, and Jndge
Lawrence a member of the same associ
ation, have prepared for publication the
following statement explanatory of the
wool schedule in the tariff bill now nnder
consideration by the house committee
on ways and means:
We have examined for the first time
to-day the schedule providing duties on
wool and nanufactures of wool. It pro
poses a duty of 11 cents per pound on
clothing wool, double on washed and
treble on scoured ; on combing wool, 12
cents per pound, and treble on scoured
wool; on unwashed carpet wools valued
at 12 oent s or less, inoluding charges at
the last port for export, the duty to be
a cents, and if washed, 7 cents, if
scoured, 8 cents ; for carpet wools val
ued at over 12 cents, thf duty on un
washed is 8 cents, double if washed and
treble if seonred. It provided that stan
dard samples be deposited in custom
houses and contains provisions as to
round lot frauds, sorting frauds, admix
ture frauds, and defines washed and
scoured as to so-oalled carpet wools.
The provisions are much better than
ever incorporated in any tariff law as to
these wools that just now are injuring
the wool industry of the United States,
more than any other. We learn upon
reliable authority that under the law as
it now stands 75 per cent of the carpet
wools being imported will make excel
lent clothing, snch as was used by onr
soldiers during the war, and if shaggy
goods continue to increase in fashion as
they have during the past two years 75
per cent, of the oarpet wools imported
will be used for clothing,) and further, if
clothing wool can be imported as car
pet wool at 2K cents, the duty of 11
cents on clothing wool will not be oper
ative. If the oost of merino is too far
above the cost of oarpet wools, manufac
turers will abandon the use of merino
wool to some extent for cheap oarpet
wool, thus bringing down the price of
merino wool.
The farmers of the United States and
the people generally whose prosperity is
dependent on the sucoess of our agri
cultural industries are to be congratu
lated on the fact that Major McKinley
and those co-operating with him on the
committee on ways and means have pro
posed a measure of suoh immense value.
The proposed duty is an increase of 1
over the border.
The sun was just rising when the first
team started. The invasion came with a
rush. No one expeoted it, even the set
tlers themselves. The tenants of the
strip, the Cherokee Live Stock Associa
tion agents were taken entirely unawares.
The Cherokee Indian police force was
too insignificant to oppose the invaders.
The government so far as known, had
taken no precautions to arrest a possible
movement of settlers, and it was not un
til early this morning that the military
appeared upon the scene. Captain Bor
bank, in command of a small force of
troops at Oklahoma City, marched on to
the strip late last night to stay the pro
gress of the boomers, but so far as known
this force had no effect in retarding the
movement.
On entering the strip the cattle graz
ing there looked upon the unusual scene
with alarm, a stampede ensuing, which
the cowboys in charge were nnable to
check or oontrol. The cattle fled five or
six miles before the invaders from the
North, where they were met by boomers
coming up from Oklahoma. Between
these two fires they were driven east and
west Arriving on the strip the settlers
staked their claims.
Advices from Iowa state that 500
boomers started there. Just as the
wagons were ready to move a big prairie
fire was discovered raging in the outlet.
It is thought it may have been set by
the cattle people to drive back the set
tlers. So anxious, however, were the
boomers that not even fire could stop
them, and they proceeded, avoiding it by
making a detour.
Five hundred more went in from Cald
well, while Guthrie, which a year ago
was the objective point of the noted rush
into Oklahoma, was to-day the starting
place for 800 boomers bound for the
strip.
Hunnewell, Kan., reports that 800 to
1000 moved from there.
The American Turf bon
Cincinnati, March 14. The American
turf congress elected Judge Perkins, of
Latonia Club, president; vice President
McGibben, deoeased ; Col. L. Clark, vice
president; and B. G. Bruce, secretary.
Nothing definite in the way of legisla
tion was accomplished. The question of
barring Western Union wires from traoks
was discussed vigorously, but not acted
upon. The discussion proved a senti
ment in favor of preventing pool rooms
from securing information by which
they could throw races, or afford oppor
tunities for disreputables to resort to
trickery.
One hundred and three horses,
valued at $200,000, were shipped
from Senator Stanford's stables at
Palo Alto, Cal., last week by
special train to New York. Thirty
