AiipnllliiK Situation Aloiijr Iowcr CourMC of the MlHulNKliMil. MEMPHIS , Tenn. , April 3. The heavy floods In the Mississippi north of Cairo and the rlso In the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers will throw another world of water Into the already filled St. Francis basin , and as all this will have to pass through the nar row levee-bound channel , beginning ten miles above Helena , to the flrst break , ten miles below that city , the fate of Helena and the low and fertile country behind the Tunica county , Mississippi , levee Is problematical. The pcoplo of Helena have Increased the height of their levees two feet , but the water la now even with the new crown. The loveea opposite Helena wcro reported last night to be In a precarious condition and the heavy rains of today have added to their weakness. In the Mississippi delta water is fast spreading over the entlrs country. Many thousand people have been made homeless and appeals for aid have gone forth. In the lowlands of Arkansas a call for food has been made and the people of Little Rock will take Immediate action. Starvation con fronts 50,000 people. Tonlght R. C. Qraveo and J. S. Menkln' the Memphis Tcllef com mittee go to Washington to ask the general government to lend assistance. The local re lief committee las demands that will exhaust all present funds. They are from Missis sippl as far down as Greenville and. ' from nearly all of eastern Arkousas. The visitor * to Washington will ask for $25,000 to be used In buying rations. Ten thousand dollars has already bscn expended by the local commit tee and probably $10,000 more of contrlbutci provisions have been distributed. It now looks as It famine is ahead , No moro breaks In the levees ara reportei tonight , but It Is feared no human power can overcome the force of nature below Vlcks burg , and It Is belloved by many to bo only a question of a few days before the same conditions that now obtain In the delta wll exist In southeastern Arkansas and north eastern Louisiana. At Memphis the river is reported as stationary tonight. The hopefu' view of the flood situation which prevailed some days ago has bocn repeatedly dissipated by reports from the upper Mississippi and Its tributaries , which are rising at a rapid rate with every Indication that Immense volifihes of water may bo expected to pour Into the upper Mississippi through Its tributaries ant eventually Increase the already appalllnt , conditions existing In the middle and lower Mississippi valley. LITTLE ROCK , Ark. , April 3. This has been a day of Incessant rain , with repeated storms of violence , lowering clouds and in creasing appeals for help from the suffering peopla of the overflowed portion of the state. As the Inundated area Increases , so do the cries for help grow In number and the suffer ing becomes moro acute. From all sides como reports , of swollen streams , wrecked bridge ? , washouts , landslides nnd delayed and abandoned trains. An appeal for succor from upwards of 400 sufferers In the Indian bay country , whore 25,000 acres are already un der water and wliero the backwater Is still rising , was granted today by the relief com mltteo of the Hoard of Trade , and a boat with a wecVs rations for COO wa sent to their relief. The steamer Eugene has gone to Ar kansas Post with provisions for the refugees who have congregated there , and also a sup ply of feed for their stock. ST. LOUIS. April 3 , The Mississippi river roao flvo Inches hero today and tonight the water Is nineteen Inches below the danger point. There la every Indication that the flood will bo above the danger * line within a few hours. Tonight the flood has risen to nearly the level of Chestnut street , which Is ono of the hlglicat streets In the levee dis trict. In the north end the water la already In the streets , but as this district is occupied mostly by squatters , the fact attracts little attention , Dualnoss men along the levee are very uneasy and are continuing with In creased vigor their efforts to protect their property. During the afternoon the water crept up to within a very few feet of the Missouri Pacific tracks north of Lucas avenue and south of Itutger street. The Iron Moun tain depot and freight yards , at Plum street and Levee , nro threatened. The encroach ments of the flood upon Bast St. Louis within the past twenty-four hours have not been as great as was anticipated , CANNOT 1II8M * TIIU DESTITUTE. No Money Available to Peril tinIlun - Kry mill Clothe the Nnkcil. WASHINGTON. April 3. Willis L. Mooro. dilof of the Weather bureau , has Issued a special river bulletin , in which ho says ; The river at Vlcksburg will probably begin to rlso again when the water from the crevasses returns through the Yazoo , and the rlso from Ylcksburg to the mouth Is likely to continue Indefinitely. The great strain on the levee below Vlcksburg 4s yet to come and residents of districts formerly overflowed should heed the warnings.

On his own Initiative ho can do little for thorn but ho Intends to appeal at once bo congress to como to the relief of the sufferers , it was at flrst supposed that the passage by congress last week of a joint resolution making Immediately available $250,000 ol the total appropriation made In the sundry civil appropriation bill for the Improve ment of the lower Mississippi river under the direction of the Mississippi River com mission , would go far toward alleviating the distress of the submerged sections. Now It has been discovered , however , that not a cent of this money can bo applied legally to feeding or caring for the people starving a'nd shivering along the bonks of the rivers Under the law the money Is appropriated for the Improvement of the river and can bo expended only for the preservation of the levees and perhaps by a stretch of con struction for the protection of property. To meet this exigency , the president has determined to bring the unfortunate state of the pcoplo to the attention of congress trusting to that branch of the governmoil to provide means of relief.

D. , April 3. ( Special. ) The city of Lead finds herself In a rather pe culiar position. Dy a decision rendered In circuit court this week by Judge Plow man the city Is totally devoid of laws , The case which brought about this startling In formation was an appeal taken by Mrs. Louisa Klatt from a justice court In which she was fined for permitting cattle to run at largo within the city limits. The arrest was made under ordinance No. 53. When the case came before the court'Mrs. Klatt'a attorney moved Its dismissal because of the fact that the arrest was made under an or dinance which was null and void. The rec ords of the city council meeting when or ; dlnanco No. 53was passed did not show that It had been parsed by a yea and nay vote. As the law requires that all ordi nances shall be passed In this way and a record of each vote kept by the city auditor Judge Plowman acceded to tbo attorney's motion. Ordinance No. 53 was a revision and repeal of ordinances Nos. 1 to 52 , In clusive , and 'Includes so mo of the most Im portant laws of tbo city. Tlio case will bo appealed by the city. Competent evidence from persons who attended the meeting when the ordinance in question was passed claim that it received the lawful yea and nay vote , but the oversight of the auditor at that tlmo in not recording It Is respon sible for the trouble. o HOY 1II.OWN INTO SIX 1'IKCKS.

MAY NOT PASS THE SENATE IN ANY FORM Thirty-Two SeimtorH Arc IMc-ilKCil < o Voic AKnlimt llntlllcnlloii , While Seven Other * Arc Suld to lie Doubtful. WASHINGTON , "April 3. The Anglo- bo temporarily Amcrlcin arbitration treaty will porarily sidetracked In the senate next week This will bo done for several reasons. The principal ono given by Senator Davis , who Is in charge of the treaty. Is that a number of senators who have remained In the city In constant attendance upon the executive sessions In the belief that a vote would bo reached are anxious to get away for a few days. Anotlwr reason Is found In the dllllculty of arranging pairs for absent sonatora who oppose ratification of the treaty In any form. Senators present who oppose tbo treaty will noc consent to JlxlnB a date for the dual vote until they can bo assured that pairs can ba secured for their absent colleagues nnd co-workers nt the rate of two for OIIP. The matter of iwlrs Is not ono for the senate , but ror Individual sen ators to deal with , and considerable dlfll- culty has been experienced In making tne desired arranKcment. It Is alto probable that another reason for this decision is the fact that the friends of Uo treaty In the senate doslro to glvo the State department on opportunity to ox- amliio the treaty as amended before pro ceeding further with it. The advocates of the treaty appreciate that It haa been most radically changed. They have put It heyond their power to further amend , oven If they should dcslro to maka the attempt , and now doslro an opportunity to talco slock In what j there Is left. , , I The friends of the treaty refuse to make any predictions as ta the result of the final vote wl n taken , but some of them admit that , notwithstanding the numerous and rad ical amendments , there will bo sullielont opposition to render the result doubtful. On the other hand , the cpponenta of the traaty assort that an actual poll of th senate shows that a vote today would result against ratification in a full senate. Thirty nega tive votes will bo noceseary to defeat the treaty and the following named senators are said to bo pledged to vote against It ; Haker , Date , Berry , Duller , Carter , Chll- ton , Clay , Cockroll , Daniel , Ilarlo , Jlans- brough , illarrls of Tennessee , Harris of Kan sas , Holtfeld , Jone of Arkansas , Jones of Nevada , Mantle , .Mason , Kimncy , McUncry , Mills , Morgan , I'enrose.

Va."I "I can readily understand , " said Mr. Huntlngton , "how that story has gained currency. It la true that some gentlemen want mo to Join them In an enterprise of that character , but the conclusions were never reached. I do not think I will be come interested in an armor plato factory. If eo , it may bo In the distant future. f may possibly ngreo to liavo an armor plate establishment at Newport News. The Arm strongs of nngland , Uio great gun manufac turers , would llko mo to join them In ouch a schemeIt was only the other day I got a letter from them on this very subject. I do not know yet what will bo the result of their proposals to mo about the matter. I am In na hurry about the matter , but if a company should be formed to build an ordnance factory at Newport News , I rather think I will put some money Into it. The Armstrongs ore good people and very corn- potent In such matters. If they finally do- cldo that It will bs a good Investment the factory no doubt will become a fact.
