No Improvement In Flooded Districts
of the Missi’Ssippi.
FIFTY PLACES SUBMERGED.
Statement Prepared For the President by
Citizens’ Relief Committee of Elem-
'phis—Carlng For Refugees.
Fears In Kansas City.
Washington, April 7.—Messrs. R. C.
Graves and J. S Menken, representing
the citizens’ relief committee of Mem-
phis, organized tor the purpose of re—
lieving the people of the flooded dis-
trict near there, have arrived in‘ the
city. They have prepared a statement
which they will submit to the president.
From Marion, Ark., north of Memphis,
to Greenville, Miss, it is stated, there
are now at least 50 towns and villages
under water, and a territory extending
from 100 miles north of Memphis to 200
miles south and 5 to 40 miles wide is
submerged and devastated by the flood.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of cul-
tivated soil with growing crops are in—
cluded in this submerged territory, and
there are from 50,000 to 60,000 people
whose property has been destroyed and
whose business has been, suspended
thereby. The amount of. damage to
property is incalculable.
In addition to the growing crops which.
have been destroyed, thousands of head
of working stock and of cattle have
been drowned and starved.
The great majority of the sufferers
are small farmers, mostly negroes, who,
with the present crop destroyed and
their working stock and farming tools
swept away, are left utterly destitute
and unprepared to begin work again
even after the floods have subsided.
The extent of the suffering has grown
beyond the capacity of the local author-
ities and of the local charities to re-
lieve. ’ ,
Caring For Refugees.
The citizens’ relief committee of Mem-
phis are now caring for from 6,000 to
7,000 refugees from the flooded district,
and they are still arriving by boatloads
every day.
In addition to this, large supplies of
provisions are being sent to .various
points in Arkansas and Mississippi,
where it is possible for the refugees to
be cared for on higher ground, and in
relief barges. -
The utmost that can be done by
is to measurably and
temporarily relieve the present suffer—
ing. The committee have found it very
difficult and very costly to reach a por-
tion of the sufferers living in the inte-
rior, who can only be reached by skiffs
operating with light draft steamers
that can leave the main river.
Memphis being the only point on high
ground for about 200 miles north and
south, it necessarily has become the
place of refuge of all seeking to escape
the flood in that territory.
Flood For Kansas City.
Kansas City, April 7.—The weather
bureau officials at this point have given
warning against a flood of the Kansas
City bottoms.
The danger line is 21.4, and the river
has already passed the 18 foot stage,
and for two days past has risen at the
rate of a footvevery 24 hours. The
weather bureau warns business .men
and dwellers on the bottoms to prepare
for a flood within four days. '
Below Independence, Mo, the river is
cutting badly. W. C. Adams reports
that the river has steadily eaten away
his farm of 160 acres near Atherton
until he has but 30 acres left.
The Cumberland Rising.
Nashville, April 7.—The Cumberland
river'is near to 39 feet and rising. Back-
waters are already invading the low-
lands, and many who have just moved
into houses abandoned during the pre-
vious flood will have to move again.
. A Rear End Collision.
Long Island City, April 7.—-A collision
occurred today on the Long Island rail-
road near Springfield, a passenger train'
bound for Valley Stream running into
the rear of a freight train. The loco-
motive of the passenger train was bad-
ly damaged, and the cab se of the
freight, as well as the rear cars, were
. also-damaged. No one was seriously
hurt.

Albany, April 7.—A committee from
the board of trade and transportation
of New York city waited on Governor

ously by the lumbermen of the northern

Respects to 11.. _ZL"a1.
Washington/pill 7.—T;.“‘e were some '
important callers at the \Vhi:e House
today befbre the cabinet assembled.
First came Senatrr Hanna. of Ohio, who
had just returned from Ohio, whl.her he
went to cast his vote at the municipal
elecfifn ycs‘errlcy. He was with Pics—
ident McKinley half an hour. When he
emerged, he said, commenting upon the
elections, that they were win»... any,
save local, significance. {Vhile Mr. Han~
na was still in the \.‘?..Le, House Mr.
Bryan, the late Democratic candidate
for president, called, wi-h Representa-
tive McMillin of Tennessee, to pay his
respects to his successful rival. They
were immediately ushered into President
McKinley’s private office. The presi-
dent, who was talking with a group cf
gentlemen, advanced, and the president
and the defeated candidate shook hands
cordially. Mr. Bryan remarked upon
the president’s apparent good health,
and the latter spoke of the fact that he
had seen by the newspapers that Mr.
Bryan was here to argue a case before
the supreme court. He also said he had
received a copy of Mr. Bryan‘s book a
few days ago, but as yet had not had
time to read it.
“There is no law which compels you.
to read it,” remarked Mr. Bryan, smil-
ing.
After some further exchange of cour-
tesies and pleasantries, Mr. Bryan re...
tired. He expressed a desire to be
shown through the White House, and
Doorkeeper Dubois conducted him
through the various parlors and the
conservatory. 1n the main corridor just
as he. was emerging he. met Mrs. Mc-
Kinley, who was going out for a drive,
and saluted her cordially. Mrs. Mc-
Kinley acknowledged the salute with a
smile, but it is doubtful whether she
recognized him. Oh the portico while
awaiting the arrival of the carriage in
which he had driven to the White
House Mr. Bryan was besieged with
newspaper men, who asked for his
views on the‘C-hio and l.:ichigan elec—
tions yesterday. “They indicate that
confidence has been restored,” he said.
laughing heartily. “They need no ex—
planation from me," he added, “they
speak for themselves.”
