CAMPED ON THE LEvEEs.
NEW ORLEANS, April 2.-Huntington
has been completely abandoned by its
500 inhabitants, about half of whom, with
some of thcir stock. are crowded together
on the levee, suffering from exposure,
sickness and destitution. Others are liv-
ing more comfortably in box cars. Many
houses have foatcd away. Some 1900
residents of the neigbbcrhood are also
crowded upon the levees or have fled to
the highlands. a similar condition of af-
fairs prevails in nearly all the country
around the break The backwater is
spreading far into the Interlor The Skip
worth break increased yesterday to $50
feet, The Vita crevasse to 100 and others
in proportion. Tine situation below Red
river is much i'm proved, but between that
point and Helena the outlook Is very
gloomy.
VIcKsBURe, Miss, April 9 file relief
committee at Arcola, Miss, has asked for
lot of tents, a number of people being
homeless. Several parishes on Bayou
Vidal, in Louisiana, are beng rapidly
overhowed. The levee on the Texas front,
near St. Joseph, are holding out we'll, but
there is great apprehension that the re-
turn of the water from the Yazoo ere
vases will cause a heavy rise, in which
case 20 levee on the lower Mississippi
could stand the pressure of the wind and
water.
MEMPHIS, April 2.-The condition Of
the flooded district on the Mississippi side
between Tunica and GreeuvilIe remains
unchanged. Greenvllle is partially Under
water and little business is being done.
There is no suffering or need of outside
aid.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The signal ser
vice issues a special bulletin In which it
says that Notwithstanding the heavy rains
there Is no likelihood that the Mississippi
will again be as high at New Orleans as
1t has been this season, owing TO the relief
given by the creyasses above.
BRIGHTER DAYS IN LOUISVILLE.
LOUISVILLE, April 2-The work of
tearing down the demolished buildings
progresses rapidly, and within u few days
most of those standing will be leveled.
Subscriptions continue to come in liberal
ly, and to day over S11 900 was added to
the Board of Trade funds. The relief
committee is busily distributing this fund
so as to most effectively relieve the suf-
fering.
At the water works the temporary ma
chinery was tested to day and worked
satisfactorily. 1t is now believed that
the danger of a water famine is passed.
Reports from the stoIm-strcken Sec
tions of the state continue to come In.
Advices from Hampton. Ky, to night
state that SIX persons were killed and
twenty injured in Livir gston county. OF
the injured five or six will die. The loss
of stock and poultry was very great, and
the farmers loss will aggregate $50 GOO.
Mi.cheburg county was also visited,
twenty-five buildings he,ng destroyed
and number of people injured.
HORRIBLE MURDER.
HELENA, April "a horrible murder
of the Jack the Ripper sort occurred
early this morning. The body OF "One-
Eye julia" Mexican prostitute, was
found lying in pool of fresh blood in
her house, literally cut to pieces.
The jueular was severed, the skull was
| fractured and the body Was horribly cut
The only traces of the murderer are pail
OF Chinaman's S shoes filled with blood and
a blood stained knife, found near China
town. 1t i:s a sheath found in the
wOman's room
Thirty-One Cinnamon have been ar
rested pending examination. 1t il
learned that one of them was seen running
| up the street from the house at an early
hour this morning. There is great excite
Inent in the city, and the murderer may
be lynched if found.
IDAHO BILL PASSED.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Democrats
to day carried their opposition to the adj
mission of Idaho to length that they
requested vote on the final question and
raised the point of no quorum, which, OF
course, was overruled by Speaker Reed,
who oouEted the Democrats as present,
making quorum. 1t is the intention of
the Democrats to carry their case to the
supreme court and make test case of it,
and possibly keep out Idaho in case the
court should decide the case IN favor of
the Democrats. There is another feature
of the case which may defeat this point
raised by the Democrats. The bill will
go to the senate, and after passage come
back for q conference, when there will be
present full quorum of Republicans, who
will agree to the conference report, which
would, of course, prevent the case from
going 10 the supreme court. The Repub-
licans, however, are so sure of their posi-
tion that they will pass the bill without a
quorum. 1t is further claimed that the
question Of no quorum will be pressed
against the bill when it is taken up tor
consideration in the senate. providing an
attempt is made TO act on the house bill
instead OF the bill introduced In the
senate.
