from points in the southwest in regard 10
damages from the flood. Secretary Lin
coin said this afternoon the losses and con-
sequent suffering exceeded any estimate yet
made. There are urgent calls for greater
measures of relief than can be afforded
within the limits of the appropriation, and
these demands, of course, can not be ful y
met without the consent OF Congress. Sena
tors and Members OF the House from the
grams calling for an appropriation
commensurate with this disaster.
From Little Rock alone there are
reports of 1900 persons made absolutely
destitute, and to feed those even until the
flood recedes will require double the SUM set
aside for that State for appropriation by
Congress. Senator Garland SAYS the munich
palsties and corporations of the State are re-
spending literally, but they are burdened
by refugees from flooded districts. He also
says the present distress is only beginning.
The levees are broken in SO many places the
Impoverished communities will be entifcly
unable to repair them in time TO prevent an
overflow when the June rise comes. IL i
also feared that under the best circumstances
the ground will be in such condition as to
delay planting until it is too late for good
crop.
At an informal meeting of members OF
Congress from the States affected it was. re-
solved TO ask for an additional appropria-
ton Of 800 600, and resolution will proba-
bly, be introduced in the House 10 that
effect tomorrow. A proposition was also
made to ask for an appropriation 70 repair
the levees at once. To do this promptly
and effectually, so rs to be of service 10 the
people this year, would require not less than
81 l,000, 600. The consideration of this propo-
sition was deferred until formal meeting
of the members of the river States can be
called, probably tomorrow.
