TIE MISSISSIPPI,
Extraordinary Flood at New Orleans
Breaks the Record.

NEW ORLKASs, Mar. Is. The river here
at ESQ p. M. stood seventeen feet above
low water mark, and short while receded
to sixteen feet eight inches. This 10 six
inches above the record of other years and
the water went over the levees all along
the city front at every depression or low
place, soon flooding the streets and side
walks Of = large section of the city. Up
town waves washed over the levee and
submerged streets and sidewalks. The
same thing occurred at points down Poyd-
rass street. Here the water spread out
over the broad space occupied BY Morgan
road filled up low places. and began to
flow down Poydrass street and into cross
streets on either side. covering sidewalks on
Poydrass street far ~ St. Charles street,
filing cutters back to drainage canals in
the rear of the city.
Canal street from Custom House street
to Cont the water came over the levees
freely, completely subnerging the streets
and in many places sidewalks and lower
floors of business houses, and below Elysian
Fieids street the water passing over the
levee. The damage done 90 far 10 not
great. The greatest damage 10 sustained
by merchants who had sugar stored in the
old bonded warehouse on Old Levee street.
At 8 80 P. M. the gauge at the head Of
Canal street was l6 $40 feet. This
overflow seems to have taken most people
by surprise, though all who had business
on the levees made preparations for 1t.
Since yesterday evening the levees across
the river are in danger, the water 10 coming
over from the line Of the Davis crevasse
above the city to the lower line, . distance
of some l5 miles. Large forces are at
work raising the levee with sacks filled
with earth.
A break occurred at Hatch Place near
Harvey's canal which only reached v width
of four feet when it was discovered and
promptly closed. The levee at Sharp's
place ave miles above Gretna shows signs
Of weakening. A force will work all
night to straighten it.
In Algiers about noon the water COM
menced washing over the levee along its
whole length and 10 . short space the entire
front and streets for ten blocks back we're
flooded. Yard master Mcguire of the Nor
gan road and the city forces in four hours
threw up an entire new levee. That stop
ped the flow temporarily.

New YORK, Mar. ia special to the

thority, that official correspondence between
Great Britain and the United States and
Canadian governments, shows that the
question Of closed sea has not and will

the claims for damages of the owners of
British sealers seized in Behring Sea by
United States cruisers, has mainly occupied

present time. The question Of protecting
by some international arrangement, the
seal fishery from absolute deple ton has not
yet been formally considered, but both the
British and the United States governments
are desirous Of such protection. and the
matter undoubtedly will be arranged satis-
factorily.
