He IB \ stalled at Atchison , K . , and misted an engagement at St. Joe Wednesday night. How long it will be before he can get through , is a conundrum for tho'elements and etpecially the rivers Suits , CoGtnmes , Dolmans and Wraps , thousands to choose from , at McDOKALD & HAttlUSOff 't. FALLING AND RISING , The Big Muddy Indulges in a Little Six-Inch Game of See-Saw. A Half Foot Fall at Sioux . City and a Correspond ing Rise Here. Council Bluffs Under Water and Eastern Trains Strug gling to Get Out. "What is the situation ! " at differ ent timca means different things. At this particular moment it means In Omaha ana a large part of Nebraska , what new wrinkle has the Big Muddy taken into its capricious not head , hat channel ? Briefly , the prospect * for the Missouri's "taking a drop" are favorable. Yesterday the water fell BIZ inches at Slour City , and rose six inches here , This means that to morrow it will fall six inches or more at this point , and still continue to go up at some unfortunate places down the rlrer. ALL STJKBOTJKDED. The smelting works , shopi , and every building touched bv the muddy tide , are yet entirely surrounded. More lumber yesterday toppled from the piles in the rcsuective lumber yards , but it was all caught by the booms , and veiy little lost. While the body of water is surely greater , the current seams to be hsj fierce al this point , protabiy dua to the filling up of the vast lowlands * nd basins fur ther down the stream. On this side of the "creek , " with the ercaptlon oi a portion of a bridge from some email stream which floated down among anc became entangled lu the U. P. chop bullrings , there is nothing very new. OSTHEOTHEESIDE , however , there is much food for ob servationand plenty of chances to be oome interested , If you don't hap pen to live there. Higher and furlher the water has crept , until it now touches at one point the base of the bluffs , which hang over the city taking that name. It has invaded about out thousand door yards , and has rushed Into three-fourths as many houies. Many of the inhabitants of these moved out yesterday , as best they could , and took shelter on the higher ground with their benevolent neigh bors' who are doing all they can to relieve the distress ol their unfortunate neighbors. A1J of the depots are surrounded by water at various depths. The Northwestern is reached by means of boats only , and the others are na bet ter off. So great is the trouble to the roads on this account that the Chicago & Bock Island and the 0. B. & Q. trains were the only ones that ventured from even their stopping points out side of the city yesterday. ALL THE HOTELS were yesterday crowded with people from both the flooded district of the city and from the few Incoming trains. Why some of the travelers remained may be inferred from another refer ence to the hotel management pub lished in another column. Tne supe riority of this rise over the one two weeks ago was yesterday shown by the entire Isolation of many buildings that before wore not touched by the water. ' Between the stock'yards and the river channel proper it Is one vast sea , with here and there a faintly descrlbable line of post' tops to show that underneath Is real estate ot other times valuable enough to fence off. Below and among the sidetracks running south of the transfer depot , are a score of can on their sides and nearly sub merged , while hundreds of others are loppling on the washed-out and crooked rails , the water reaching half way up the aides of the cars. Five ; racks were washed away , either en tirely or in sections , and presented a most dilapidated sight. AT THE XHANSFEB. From the dummy train to the depot en more flat cars , making the entire number sixty , were added yesterday. Dwo of these , immediately over the trestle work which spans Spoon Lake , were considerably sunken and yicldad > erceptibly to the pressure of the ravelers' feet , and they looked de cidedly shaky. In the depot were tbont one hundred neatly dressed Jhin&mon , who had been blocked .here on their way to Now York. They scorned to have plenty of pro visions and were apparently as much at ease as could be expected. Most of the passengers from the eastern roads who had got as far as the trans- 'or depot , came across to Omaha. There were also two hundred ( migrants for Montana. These lad come across and quartered themselves in the cars standing at the Omaha depot as best they could. Five or six hundred are reported to be still In Oouncil Bluffs , most of them .a the Emlcrant house. TKAINB TO-DAY. This morning , It is announced , the Dhlcigo & Ilock Island and C. B. & Q. roads will take trains out at the usual time. The ether roads are re ported to be badly cut up by the floods in Iowa , and will not start. The Union Pacific road is running trains as usual , No. 4 from the west arriving last evening all right , al though two hours beklnd time. The break this side of the Elkhorn has beea temporarily , and will soon be permanently , repaired. XASXEBX MATT.S , Fully ten tons of mail matter came over the river on the seven o'clock transfer train last night , and much delayed correspondence may be looked for this morning. There was no bag gage of the passengers , as it was Im practicable to get It down from the Bluffs. At the transfer hotel every thing was running smoothly. Among the guest ? yesterday were the wite and son of ex-Gov. Fenton , of New York , and Chief Justice Peck , of AVyomlng territory. They were eastward bound. LATEST r&OM THE BTVEB. At three o'clock this morning the river had risen only two laches from the report at C o'clock , and the total height was twenty-four feet above low water mark. It is doubtful If even the aborigine ) ever saw such a high water mark before. WILL IT NBVEE STOP ? INCH BY INCH THE 1UVEB STEADILY RISES. From Saturday Ertn nj'a Bea. "Tho River" is the all absorbing topic of conversation to day on every hand , and indeed the gravity of the situation can hardly be over-estimat ed. Every additional inch of water in that steadily advancing tide means not alone additional peril to the great Industries which are threatened and partially submerged on th'a ' side of the river , but it means new floors flooded , additional dwellings desolated , and hundreds of families made homelesa.at points on the othersidethis side , above or below. Fortunately , the snail like pace at which the water Is rising robs It of the loss of life by which it would bo marked , and gives time for the saving of much property otherwise this mighty flood would rank also as B mighty disaster. THE JUVEK VIEW. A BEE reporter stood this morning east of the depot and for an instant took in the remarkable scene before him. To the north could be seen an unbroken plain of water far aa the visIon - Ion could reach , fringed on the west by half submerged manufactories , chops , dwellings and railroad tracks. The busy workers in the lumber yards , a hundred men or more , added life to the scene. Batween the Union Pa cific shops and barn & large steamer was placidly floating at anchor. To the south wore Her's distilleries in the foreground , all the yards transformed into sheets of water , and barrels , staves andltlmber afloat. Boyd'a pscking house in the distance stood with the muddy water about much of its foundations. Be yond all this , above and below the bridge , was the | boiling , foaming , eddying current , marked here and there by byA A MIKIATCBE MAELSTEOJC , and moving swiftly onward with a might which seamed Irresistible. The eastern embankment of the bridge farmed a black line , disappearing be neath the water at the point where the transfer hotel could be discovered. The east bank of the river , for some distance above the bridge , formed a long island , on which could be seen a half dozen houses , some still high and dry and others partially sub merged. "Jump'on ! " shouted a voice behind the reporter , and he turned to behold a "hand.car , " on which was an official of the telephone company and several wire repairers. "Where are you goIng - Ing ? " "To the transfer , " and a mo ment later the reporter was on and the little car glided swiftly forward. The scene sceneAT AT THE TRANSFER was more serious than before. T > .o temporary bridge of flat cira was still in place , but a deep and powerful cur rent swept savagely underneath it , just touching the floors of the cars at many points and perceptibly jarring them. None of thesn stood at a level , but all had been firmly fastened to each other with powerful planking , forming a continuous bridge. Several long lines of cars stretched away through the water to the stock yards. At one point the track on which these stood had been washed out and several cars had toppled over ISTO THE FLOOD. A small telegraph and switch house had met with a like fate. The trans fer train stood at the east end of the fiat car bridge awaiting such passengers as had ventured the passage of the water In a row boat from the Bluff * . The emi grant house was found with Its plat form about eight inches above the surface of the water , the main floor being some four Inches higher. Its forty or fifty inmates last night were departing for Omaha and it was evi dent that this building would not long accommodate anybody. The transfer hotel wcs dull and cheerless and Its guests had departed. On THE RETURN TRIP the reporter learned that one gentle man , apparently an Englishman , had come in on the Northwestern train last evening and had reached the Bluffs ay wagon from a point three miles above , where there Is a serious wash out , and ha 1 secured a boatman to mug himself and baggage to the trans fer. The gentleman remarked that t was not a pleasant time to travel and described a little experience in a ate visit to Manitoba , whence he had come. He bore evidence of his expe rience in being hardly able to walk , 'rom rheumatism , and remarked that f he were a young newspaper man , Ike the reporter , he would undoubt edly have enjoyed the experience , but hat that time had passed with him. 'Yon are A JOURNALIST , thea ? " "Yes. On the other side of he water. My name la Forbes. " It suddenly dawned on the reporter hat the plain , nnassumlng and riendly Individual of some forty roars before htm was Archibald Forbes , the famous war correspondent of the London Daily News , who has represented his journal In twelve wars , and whose long and perilous journey n bringing to the coast the first information mation of the massacre of the English soldiery in Zululand , is an achieve ment In which all journalists take > rlde. The reporter had a long and nteresting Interview with Mr. Forbes , who left at noon for San Francisco , where he is soon to lecture. IX THE LUMBER YARDS. The situation on the river bottoms on this side baa not materially chang ed. Lumber ] from the yards is accumulating against the booms which still endure the strain. In the case of the lower boom , on which there Is now not less than 200,000 feet of umber , It seems Impossible that t can much longer endure ; he strain. The lumber piles n the different psrda continue to fall , until nearly all are in the water. Fos ter's office has partially left its founda tions , the north end being reared up ward some two feet , but tha weight of au immense quantity of sash stored in the upper floor still keep it in itsplace. Savcral smaller buildings have floated from their fonndationa. RAILROADS AND MAILS. Matters remain about as yesterday with the railroads and the mails , ex cept that the Union Pacific company repaired its Elkhorn bridge last night and its train left soon after noon with a heavy load of passengers , followed soon after by an extra. The Chicago trains are running to and from Oouncil Bluff * , aa Is also the Wabasb , but no arrangements are made for the trans fer of baggage and mails , and but few pissengers take tie row boat line. Omaha is still practically cutoff , ex cept to the west , from all points , though a few mails have been got through by Chief Clerk Vandervoort and Special Agent Furay. THE STEAMER BUTTON nearly paralyzed the old settlers at the Bluffs this morning'by striking boldly for the transfer depot and anchoring a few rods from that struct ure , while her officers made an at tempt to procure coal for their en gine , securing a smsll amount. They then proceeded to the U. P. shops on this side , anchored over the tracks in the yard and made arrangements to secure the much needed supply from the adjoining piles of the railroad company. Such a feat was never bc- fjre known , bnd it is rumored that soma of the old cottiers will call an indignation meeting. STATIONARY. The river was stationary at one o'clock and then stood at 23 feet and 4 inches , according to the signal ser vice office measurement , above low water mark. At three o'clock this was still the height This Is 1 foot and 5 inches above the highest rise ever known. PLATTSMOUTH. PERILOUS CONDITION OF TAU1LU3. BpecUl Dispatch to Turn Uo. PLATTSMODTH , April 23. The riv r is twenty inches higher than duri the last flood at this point. Pacific Junction and the entire Iowa bottoms opposite are from two to four feet under water. Farmers on the bottom are in destitution. The clty authori ties are doing everything in their power to rescue them. Already seve ral women and small children have been rescued. Several families are starving and drowning and must bo saved to day , if at all. The steam ferry here , although disabled greatly , is doing good work and through its ef forts many will be saved. HOTEL GOBMORAUTS. One of the Features of the Council Bluffs Inun dation. Council Bluffi may be a pleasant place to live in , if you own your own habitation ; but for a stranger and a traveler , If the reports received yes terday from persons recently come from there be true , it is by no means an enviable place to stop. It is al leged by travelers on the trains arriv ing in that city during the past few days that the most shameful practices have been resoited to by hotolkeepers , boatmen , and all classes coming in contact with the arriving passengers from eastern trains , in the way of ex tortion and misrepresenting imagina ble. One instanra illustrates , BO the travelers say , scores of others. Mr. H. P. Pettingill , of this city , travelIng - Ing for Heed , Jones & 0. , says that on Saturday he arrived in Council Bluffs from the 0. B. & Q railroad. At the deaf and dumb asylum , where the train was obliged ts stop , he says that the railroad company had wagons waiting to convey the passengers nto the city. Nearly all of the passengers In the Pullman cars were taken to the Ogden House. Among them he says there were several English gentlemen and their wive * , going to British Col umbia , and there were also about twenty through passengers for San FrancUco. Upon inquiry at the hotel office , ho alleges , they were informed that it would be impossible for them to get across the river. Upon appeal- ins ; to the proprietor he says that the same information was given ; and Mr. Pettengill furthermore says that the proprietor claimed to have received a dispatch from the agent at the trans fer depot to the effect that ho should have ail his west bound guests at the transfer at twelve o'clock noon , as that was the last transfer train that- left for Omaha city ; and the dispatch wai , in addition , claimed testate state that there were grave fears for the safety of the Union Pacific iron bridge. It was then two o'clock in the after noon , and most of tha passengers re signed themselves to the exquisite pleasure of remaining in Council Bluffs over night. Mr. Pettingill , however , refused to believe the pro prietor's statement , and in company with three or four gentlemen decided bo risk a trip to the transfer depot in a boat. Arrived there , they found the west-bound train waiting at the end of the long line of flat cars , and came safely across the river. Mr. Pettingill states that there was plenty of time in which all of the passengers could have reached the transfer depot , and that there wore many in the company who were placed in a most embarrassing position by the delay. The same thing Is charged of the Pa cific house it ? Council Bluffi. If these statements bo correct ; If the proprie tors or their employes purposely do- deceived their gueatr , or if they were not sufficiently desirous of keeping first-class houses to inform themselves as to the true condition of affairs why , the traveling public can come to whatever conclusion they BOO fit. FIGHTIN& PRAIRIE FIKES. The Whole Force of the Bar racks Called Out Yes terday. A fierce prairlo fire has been raging northwest of the barracks for a day or two. Yesterday the flames began to circle around moro to the west , and by nine o'clock last night had approached preached within heating distance of the buildings. The whole force of soldiers stationed there was called out and for two hours fought the advanc ing danger. At one time it seemed as If the blaze would reach the bar racks , but the energetic efforts of the military , which were directed against a foe not conquerable' by bullets , at length succeeded In turning it away to the west. A vait tract of land , throe miles or more square , has baen burnt over. The light which , was plainly discernible from the city , made the northwest horizon bright nearly al night. Hospo'a Opening. Mr. A. Hospo , the well known proprietor of the Art and Music Repository on Dodge street , enter tained his friends and patrons In fine style laatovening , wltlra grand open ing and a musical and artistic treat that has never before been equalled in Omaha. The proprietor and as sistants showed unusual taste in the selection and display of the paintings and other works of art. A band of music was In attendance and discoursed sweet music , and of the hundreds that visited the exhi bition , all were highly pleased and gratified. The opening contin ues this evening ; go and take your ladies.

AS OTHEBS SEE US , American People and Amer ican Uournalism , Interview with the Newspaper Hero of Twelve Wars. Blunt , unreserved frankness is a characteristic of the English gentle man , and Mr. Archibald Forbes , the war correspondent of the London Daily News , la one of the moat out- spokoa of his race. It was the for tune of a BEE reporter to have a long conversation with Mr. Forbes while he was In this olty on Siturday. He had just arrived from Council Bluffi via "tho row-boat line , " bat instead of being out of humor from his expe rience was praising the efforts which had been made for his accommodation. "Tho railroads of America have a wonderful ability to meet and over come emergencies. I have noticed it frequently during my travels here. There was the bridge of flit-cars over which we came. Some man's energy and ingenuity met that emergency by the only device which could have kept up the line of communication. " "My boatman this uiornlng was a good illustration of a trait peculiar to the American. The man with whom I arranged to bring me across sent a substitute. The latter was very ac commodating , and did me a great many little services. When we reach ed the transfer 1 offered him twice the amount agreed upon. Ho refused it. 'Why , my good fellow , ' I said , 'you have done more than you agreed , and boon very kind. Take this. ' He positively declined to do it , but said he wonld take a drink to mo if I wished. An English boatman would have taken the sum and grumbled 'twu not sufficient pay. Mr. Sala and I would not agree about the American people. He says they are a churlish race , and thai it is not safe to open a conversation with a stranger In America unless you are willing to ba snubbed. He looked in vain for the inquisitive Yankee he expected to find , but noted a peculiar and marked reserve among all cksscs. I have found Americans very affable and pleasant , very kind and accommodat ing. It has impressed me as a nation al peculiarity. The cities on the east ern seaboard are more European. They have become corrupted by con tact with the Old World. " "I find journalism quite unlike tb o profession In Eagland. There la great enterprise among American newspa pers , but very little training for the profession. I find the profession , In a ganeral way , demoralizing to its re porters. There Is a demand for filth and Hastiness which forces the report er to demean and degrade himself. I have bai a personal experience which leads me to this belief. The Mayor of Detroit honored me with & recep tion. At 10 o'clock I excused myself to keep an engagement with the chief of police , with whom I visited the worst parts of the city , and saw that part ot the life of a town which can only be seen at night. .1 expressed myself strongly In condemning tb the officer some things I saw. The repor ter of an evening paper heard my re mark , and in the next papar charged me with base ingratitude to the Mayor , In deserting his reception for the pur pose of visiting a brothel. True , in fact , the charge was intamou ? in the impression it was Intended to convey. A few days later , at Toledo , a repor ter came to mo and said his paper no ticed the charge made Egalnat me by their Detroit contemporary and de sired to give mo an opportunity to an swer It. "Araa'fc you ashamed of yourself , " I said. "You may consid er yourself fortunate that you have an opportunity to get to the foot of the atalra in a natural way. Now get out of hero. Ho paused in the door and said : "Well , then we shall con sider the charge true , " and left the house aa quickly ai convenient. Next day fa's paper repeated the story. Some time later in PHlsbnrg a reporter came to mo again on the same mission. Ho ap parently had some self respect and felt that he wes degrading himself to come to a gentleman on auch a mis sion. I had a long talk with him. I never saw his paper and am unable to tell what statement It may have made. I don't find , aa in England , the man who believes he haa mission attached to a newspaper. " The reporter asked with some inter est KS to London roportora and the system on which a London newspaper office wai conducted , but was sur- pri ed to learn that Mr. Forbes has pseaed a good portion of bii life out side of England in the performance of his duttc' , had not been twenty tlraea inside the News building in tha course of his life , and know almost cs little as the reporter of the system on which a London newspaper office is con ducted. Mr. Forbes had engagements to lecture in Cheyenne and Laramie on hla way to San Francisco , but had been so much delayed that he had been obliged to cancel the Cbeyenno date. PERSONAL James Laird , Esq , a prominent att-r- 'ney ' , of Hastings , is in the city. H. Franklin , of Teadwood , and T. B. Shannon , of San Francuco , are in town. Con.
