BIGGEST FLOOD EVER KNOWN
Prospects for n Deluge Along the
Lower Mississippi.
A WARNING FROM WASHINGTON
Altlioucli tlio Waters Are Itcportctl
. Fill 11 tie , There U Apt to boa
Great Downpour ol' Very
Dlnnetrous Character.
No Rncournglns : Prospects.
WASiiixaTO5 , March 14. The rain storms
of the past four days in the lower Missis
sippi valley are practically ended , so that
the water dangerous to that section is now
In the Mississippi or Its tributaries , There
arc no cucoui aging prospects for any portion
of the lower Mississippi valloy. The river
has fallen slightly at Cairo , but sharp rlncs
Above St. Louis , and particularly at Cincin
nati , Louisville and Nashville make it evi
dent that the recession at Cairo Is only
temporary , and that thence southward the
river must continue at Its pres
ent stage for at least a
week. Although the stage of
the water at Cairo and Helena Is about four
ftct below the extreme Hoods In the past
year , the prospects are very decided at even
these places that the greatest Hood cvor
known will obtain during the next seven
da ; a. At Vichsburp the river is half a foot
below the great Hood of 18S'J , but the very
high stage of water In lower Arkansas ren
ders It certain there will bo no relief ut
VIeksburg. Ordinary prudence demands
undur thu nrcscnt prospects that oxtruine
flood conditions should everywhere be pro
vided against. v
Miles ot'Ijcvocs In Danger.
ST. Loui ? , Mo. , March 14. Uoports from
the lower Mississippi regarding the flood is
that part of the country between the Arkan
sas line and Vicksburc , on both sides of the
river Is in imminent dacgcr of inundation.
Water is running over the Arkansas' levees
in several places and they have been aban
doned. This means that the Tcnsas basin in
Louisiana will bo flooded. All efforts are
being concentrated to save the levees in
Louisiana between Vicksburc and the Ar
kansas line , and those on the Mississippi
shore between VicksDurg and Greenville.
If Louisiana goes under Mississippi may bo
safe , and vice versa.
Ou each side of the river the most heroic
exertions have been made for weeks and are
being redoubled. The rain has fallen In tor
rents everywhere. At all the endangered
points won : is kept up day and night. Live
stock and movables are being taken to places
of safct.v. Over two hundred miles of levees
are endangered and n general overflow in
considered inevitable. There Is no causa to
apprehend loss of life , but the destruction of
property will bo great.
A dispatch from Natchez says seven Inches
of rain fell there during forty-eight hours
and it still continues. Planters in the low
lands are counting upon their plantations
being overflowed , as they expect a break at
any moment in the weak levees below. Lake
Providenc'o. This would send the watnr
down the Tcnsus basin and flood the planta
tion ? all the way to the mouth of the Red
river. The latest reports from the upper
levees indicate that a general overflow in
Louisiana und the low iTazoo delta may bo
expected.
A Slijjht Knll Reported.
CAIHO , 111. , March 14. The Ohio river fell
slightly last night and is still falling hero
slowly. The late rams m this section are
supposed to have run out by this time , and
thu rise coming from above will not materi
ally check the fall here. The rise in the
Mississippi , unless very hlch , will not affect
the stage of the water. The Ohio being so
high will cause a backwater ln < the Missis
sippi , and this water will all run out through
the low lands of Missouri.
. Trains from the nortli are all running , and
also from the south. The wreck on tlio Illl-
inois Central between Cobden and Makanda
has delayed trains some on that road , but
they expect to have ovorythinc going by
noon. Tlio weather is cloudy and cold.
The width of the Mississippi at thu mouth
of the Ohio Is now about flftccn miles , but
this vast body of water is slowly receding.
A Seem ) ol' Desolation.
MCMITIIS , Tcnn. , March 11. Tonight the
river was 80 feet 4 Inches above low water ,
the highest point over reached , and Is still
rising. ' 1 he opinion here is that the levees
on the Mississippi side will bo nclo to with
stand the pressure of the great flood , but the
situation on the Arkansas side below Arkan
sas City is far Irom reassuring , although
the damage should the lovto give
way would bo slight compared with that
which would ensue should the cast bank
break.
Passengers on the Louisville , Now Or
leans & Texas railroad arriving hero today
report a novel scone along the road. The
low lands and lagoons in the Mississippi
delta are flooded until thu only dry land visi
ble is the ridga on which the track runs , and
a few promontories protruding nbuvo
water. Thcso places afford shelter
for hundreds of squirrclu and other small
game. Huts and cabins on the low lauds
are submerged several feet. Tied nt doom
are skiffs and dugouts , which afford the
occupants the only means of transit.
Everything presents an air of waste and
desolation.
Hclweoii Vicksburg and Lula , Miss. , the
water Is highest and the farmers who have
noj already moved are making preparations
to do so.
Along the Memphis & Little Koclc rail
road the sumo state of alTiura exists. Un
less the waters In the Mlssisoinpi and Ar
kansas rivers recede more rapidly than be-
lore the unfortunate pcoplu will suffer great
privations.
At N w Orl'-nns.
NBW OIILEANS , La. , March 11. Affairs on
the river front this evening nro much more
satisfactory than at the same time yesterday.
The city authorities , aided by the railroads ,
strengthened the weak places in the levee
and made a tui.iporary levcu , constructed of
bags tilled with earth , from St. Louis to
Hospital street and other points , The wind
is blowing from the north with a velocity of
thirty miles an hour.
Governor Nichols has issued a proclama
tion requesting all sjpamora to keep as near
mid stream us possiDlo and to run us slow as
the circumstances will permit during thu
present freshet in the lowur Mississippi.

A Syndicate Anxious to Push AY mm -
maker's Tolouraplt Scheme. .
WASHINGTON , -\Inroh 14. A now proposi
tion in connection with the proposed postal
telegraph was made to the house corntnitteo
today by J. M. Seymour of the Now York
stock exchange , who utatcd that ho repre
sented a number of capitalists willing to build
hues and to maintain a postal telegraph sys
tem under govornuicdi supervision in ac-
coi dunce with the provisions ol thn post
master coneral'a bill or to operate on a uni
form 2. > cent rate. Thp company proposed
to use the Patten multiplex telegraph sys
tem , build and maintain nil lines needed ,
furnish operators , power und stationery
and to liavo the right to build over all postal
roads. They ask cxanjptlou from federal
and state taxation. In cities whore the post-
ofllces are crowded the syndicate will fur
nish its own ofllco. It would muko a con
tract with the governirieat for fifteen years
with the privilege of renewal unless
the government would tSue.tho lines at the
end nt that time at the vuluu appraised
by experts. The syndicatu expects to be
allowed tu do private. . uusiuuss outside gov
ernment work.
To maintain lines under the Patten system
would cost 75 per cqnt less than uudor
the present system. It is proposed
to louse wires to newspapers at
nominal rates and , to reduce press
rates 33 per cent. To { establish a system
under the provisions of the postmaster gen
eral's bill would cost , Seymour thought ,
about $7,000,000. A complete system cover
ing the country would cost 523,000,000. ,

LISCOLX , Not ) . . March 11. [ Special to THE
IJnu. ] The following communication from
Gci.oral Manager iloldrogo of the U. & M.
was received by Attorney General Lecso
today :
OMAHA , Neb. , March 13. To IIou. Will-
lam Loose , Lincoln , Nob. Dear Sir : You
have caused to bo published In the news
papers a locallcd complaint against the mil-
roads of Nebraska , before the interstate
commerce commission , which , in all its Im >
portant chargesis , either fulso or misleading.
I address this letter to you trusting thnt your
regard for the truth may lead you to either
destroy the complaint without presenting it
to the members of the Interstate commerce
commission , wlicn they arrive hero this
week , or to correct the inlsstatomonts be
fore lillng It.
The people In this state , for their own In
terest , desire that the railroads which servo
them should maintain good tracks and offer
, < ; oed accommodations for both freight and
passenger business. As a railroad commis
sioner or member of the state bonrd of trans
portation , it Is your duty to deal justice tu all
interested. It you will pause in your un
warranted raid upon thu railroads to con
sider the facts herein mentioned , the proof
for which is and has been in your reach nt
any time , yon will llnd that It Is duo to the
public and the railroads that you should retract -
tract the falsa charges that you have made
In this complaint ana at ottiur times for the
public ear.
you allege that since the Interstate com
merce law took effect rates upon Nebraska
railroads have been "greatly increased. "
The reverse is true.
You allege that , taking into consideration
the rebates prior to the Interstate commerce
law , the rates , upon corn in particular , wcro
less before the law took effect than now.
Tno fact Is that , deducting the customary
rebates from the tariff rates piior to the law ,
tno not result gave considerably higher rates
before the lav/ took effect than now. If you
base your statement on llguros prevailing
during some temporary rate war , or emerg
ency of competition , It is scarcely worthy of
serious consideration.
You allege thnt the net rate from Lincoln
before tno law took nffect was 11 cents per
100. This statement is untrue.
You allege that the rates "upon corn from
Nebraska points to Chicago are so high , un
reasonable , exorbitant and excessive that the
producers of Nebraska are unable to ship
their corn to said market and said exorbitant
and excessive rates i.mount to prohibition
upon corn shipments. " You contradict this
latter statement yourself in a pararranh of
your complaint headed "Third Cause of
Action , " wherein you state that the rail
roads have "neglected and refused to furnish
a sufficient number of cars for the trans
portation of corn offered for shipment from
points in Nebraska to points without thu
state. " For the lour weeks following Feb
ruary l.r > , upon which date a. reduction of 10
per cent was made in the corn rate , and
during which period you btato the rate is
prohibitory , from twenty thousand to thirty
thousand car loads of corn have been moved
from Nebraska points , or more than ia,000-
000 bushels. The reduction of 10 per cent
madu by the railroads upon those shipments
amounts to $200,003 in four weeks.
Your complaint , furthermore , that the
rates charged by Nebraska railroads.aro ex
cessive can bo refuted by what you yourself -
self liavo at different times admitted to be a
fair measure of reasonable rates. You have
admitted that railroads should be permitted
to earn a fair rate of interest upon cost , or a
fair valuation. The sworn statement of all
of the railroads of Nebraska in the state
auditor's oftlcu show that In 18S7
there were 4.0-J1.83 miles of railroad In the
state ; that their not earnings In 1SS7
nmouuted to $7OU7liJ0.09. ! With their build
ings , shops , tools , cars , engines and termi
nal facilities , I do not bolicvo thu railroads
of tills statu can bo duplicated for S'J5OUO
per mile at the present time. If it should bo
admitted for tlto sake of the argument that
$23,000 per mile is u fair valuation , this
would irlvo u total valuation of 4115,545,750.
The railroads earned in IbS" 0.1 percent
upon this valuation. In 18b8 the mileage
was 5,011.71 miles , which , ut $2r > ,000 par
mile , would give a valuation of 8125,202,500.
The net earnings of all railroads in Nebraska
In 1SS8 amounted to e.r > , a92,570.U2 , showing
4.3 per cent on this valuation. If , to make
the muttfer still clearer , we should admit
that the rallioads or this state ore worth
only $20,000 pur mile , the interest earned In
1SS8 upon thnt valuation would bo only 5,3
per cent , out of which the interest on the
bonded indebtedness must bo paid before
the stockholders could receive anything.
Since 188S rates have been materially de
creased , and it is not probable that the
showing for 1SOO for tho' railroads will bo as
favorable as that of 1SS8.
You certainly , considering tboso facts ,
should not ask for a further reduction in
rates ut thu present time.
The railroads of Nebraska have , nt differ
ent times , voluntarily reduced the through
rates upon corn and other products. The
earn rate , for example , from Hastings , Nab. ,
to Chicnuo Ins been reduced irom 4'J cents
per 100 In 1875 , to 31 cents ID 1871) ) , to 13 ! cents
iu 18S5 , to 25 cents in 18 7 , and
to 22 > cents per 100 nt the present
time , which is 25-f cents per IflO higher than
the rate from western Iowa nolnts.
' 1 ho present rate from western Iowa and
from Missouri river points to Chicago upon
corn U 20 cents pur 100. This rate is made
upon a basis that Is lower than the tariffs of
Illinois and lowe , which uro unlvorsally id-
mlttod to bo low. The sumo rate of 30 cents
per 100 Is extended westward lor Nebraska
points sixty miles from the Missouri river ,
and only 5 cents per 100 m added to lowu
rates in forming through rates from the must
distant Nebraska points to Chicago , the
maximum rate upon corn from Nebraska
points now being JJS cents per 100 , or about
one-half na much per ton per uiilo from west
ern Nebraska points to Chicago as is charged
from central Iowa points to Chicago.
As tonnage Increases in the luturo the
railroads will doubtless continue to make
slnjllar gradual reductions upon the products
of this state , when they can afford to do so.
These future reductions will certainly bo
materially Intoifercd with or entirely pre
vented If the states of Iowa and Nebraska
contlnuu to forcu down rates upon general
merchandise , accomplishing thereby no
practical good for the producers , but pre
venting the reductions ho desires.
Your resolution , repeatedly introduced at
the meeting of thn state board ol transpor
tation , If enforced would not reducu rates
upon corn rr the Important products of this
state to Chicago or ca&tarn markets thn
rates now audccl to the Iowa rates iu formIng -
Ing the through rates from Nebraska pjlnts
to thu markets being much less than the
local Iowa tariff. Your resolution , there
fore , If enforced would do hurni to the far
mers of Nebraska , for the reason that If
you lower the tariff upon general merchan
dise , upon which the average former pays In
a year probably less than $1.50 per man , you
will cripple the railroads in their power to
carry the products ot this state at low rates
In the future , upon which manv Individual
farmers pay from f 1,000 toJ,000 per year.
To summarize thia wliolo matter , your
complaint , before the Interstate commerce
commission i& based upon misapprehension
and tnlsatalomtmts , \ our demand upon the
state board of transportation for lower rates ,
if carried out to the letter , can accomplish
no practical good for this state , but will' in
terfere with its future growth and pros
perity.
I venture to gucgoit that your duty a * a
railroad commissioner require * you to pro
tect railroad proportv as well as other prop
erty In this sta . Knllroiiila are certainly
Important to thtin | try. They have done
more to cnhanc ( _ } value of farm property
than atiy other " " cv. The western coun
ties are anxious ItT" more railroads today.1
Hallroiut constru s i in this state ban been
completely stopple largely on account of
the raid upon ran 3s which you have lead
for several years . * 1 would further say
that the cry of "U1 Ify Him , " although It
may bo started byjests \ and scribes and
followed by the' ' julnce , Is not always
right. ] -9 Truly ,

The board of transportation ordered mo to

I have gathered up what tcatlmony I could

In regard to the watered stock , 1 have

AHKANSAB Crrv , Ivan , , March II. "On to
the strip. " That was the signal for the In
vasion of the Chcrolceo outlet by the nnx
tons boomers who have been gathered on tlio
border of the stri | > for the yost lorty-clglit
hours.
It was echoed around the outlet from mid
night until dawn this mornlnjr , mill when the
sun nroso over thu promised Inml the Inva
sion was fairly begun. All dny IOIIK' lines of
cam-in covered unilrlo schooners drove Into
the coveted hind.
Tonight It Is estimated from ( liffercut
points of cntrnnco thnt fully ilO.OOJ people
Imvo passed the border mid Hint half that
number liavo staked claims. The atrip has
been Invaded for u month , past. In fnct
over Bineo President Harrison issued his
proclamation orJcrliie the cattlemen to va
cate the "outlet" the boomers have been
fititl'crlng on the frontier. They were nil
sorts of people and camoln all sorts of ways.
Some who could not afford the luxury oven
of n wagon tramped to tno border bcslilo
their horses laden with household Roods
iiiul children.
At all the principal paints of assembly
boomer associations of various Id nils had
been formed. It had been the general bo-
Hof among the loaders that President liar-
riion would not insist upon their removal
when once established upon claims.
Yesterday afternoon all was quiet among
. -w Comers. Sis hours later n seems of ex
citement was witnessed equalling that
which accompanied .tho Invasion of Oklahoma -
homa n year ago. The news from Wash
ington that the Oklahoma bill had pasiod
the house spread quickly , und by 11 o'clock
tno boomers were making hurried prepa
rations to move ut oaco over the border.
Iho HUH was Just rising when the first
to.itn started. Thn invasion came with it
rush. No one expected it , r.ot even the set
tlers themselves. The tenants of the strip ,
the Uliorokco Live Stoclc association ami thu
agents , wcro taken ontlrclv unawares.
The Ctiorokea Indian polluo force Is lee in-
sigtulleant to oppose the Invader * . The gov
ernment-so far as known , had taken no pre
caution to arrest u possible movement of the
settlers and it was not until early this morn-
in ? tliat the military appeared upon the
scene. Captain Hurbniih , in command of u
small force of troops at Oklahoma City ,
marched into the strip hist nlcht to stay the
progress of the boomers , but so far an known
Mils force lias no effect in ictnrdlngtho
movement.
On entering the strip the cattle grazing
tlicra looked upon the unnsuul soono with
alarm. A stampede ensued which the cow
boys in charge could neither check nor con
trol. Tha cattle Hud live or six miles before
the invaders from the north , whore they
were mot by the boomers coming up from
Oklahoma. Between thcso two llros they
were driven east and west.
Arriving on the strip the settlers staked
their claims.
.Advices from ICiow.t say that GOO boomers
started from thero. Just as lha wagons
wcro ready to move a big prairlo lire was
discovcicd raging in thu outlet. His thought
it may have been sot uy the cattle people to
drive back tlio settlors. Ko anxious , however -
