ANOTHER DISASTER,
A U. S, Signal Officer Predicts
a Great Calamity.
THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
Country will Experience u Terrible
Flood-Thc City OF New Orleans
In Imminent Danger
ta Timely Warming.

NRw York, March 2S.-Sergeant Dunn,
fofthe Signal Service, in an interview this
afternoon, says that one Of the greatest
calamities the country has ever known
ls imminent, and that It is the duty Of
tho press to warn the people Of tho lower
Mississippi to prepare for tho worat: He
says:
ut will be the greatest calamity TINT
has ever belalIen that section Of tho
country.
"The damage wifi be greatest below
Memphis. The storm is just like an
enormous pitcher Of water poured upon
a country already flooded. Although
several immense crevasses have been
found in the levecs below Vicksburr
from 200 to 1900 feet wide, and 90 to %
feet deep, carrying off millions OF gallons
OF water every second, the height OF
the river at Vicksburg and Cairo has re.
maincd almost stationary at tho top
Hood limit.
"This shows that the channel OF the
river below is all choked up with allu-
vium and debris from the first flood, and
that this is acting rs dam and will
eventually work havoc with all the
levees.
NEW ORLEANS IN DANGER.
"When the wave crest from this new
storm comes down the river things are
bound to be carried away and the entiro
surrounding country covered.
"fhis will probably arrive at Cairo in
two or three days, but it may be three
weeks before 1t reaches New Orleans.
New Orleans will be visited without
doubt by one Of the most disastrous
floods ever known, and I would not

"Some OF the strongest levees on the
river" he continued, "those at Helena,
Ark, have been swept away completely
in the last two days.
To-day it is showing all through tho
northwest, the lake regions, the north.
etrn Mississippi valley and in New Eng

tThe reduction on rice is proper, for
tho season that the duty upon It was
much higher in proportion than any

cents u pound reduction will not in any
sense cripple the rice industry.

LATER.
This town was visited by the most
fearful storm yesterday that has ever
occurred in ills history, resulting in the
wounding and death OF a portion OF its

THE WOOL scuEDULE,

In speaking Of wool, Mr.. Atkinson
said: che wished it were possible to re.
store the wool tariff OF 1867. Unless the
duty is put up higher than it now is, we
can never expect to see that prosperity
among the wool growers OF this country
that we ought to have, and which our
great natural advantages entitle us to
have. Still, the present bill is m i'm.
provement in many ways on the exist
ing law. 1t increases the duty on cloth.
ing and comhing woods an average Of
one and half cents n pound, and the
proposed rate Of three and q hall cents
on unwashed woe!a, With tho higher
rates on washed and secured, will also
prove 6 benefit to the wool grower. Its
provisions will also encourage the growth
Of carpet woods, nearly all Of which are
now imported.
"My greatest disappointment in the
proposed BILL" said he, ''is the failure to
wipa out the Onlire tobacco tax. The
spccia, tax stamp commonly called III
Censes' 50 glimmering. That is right,
But instead Of wipiIg out the tax on
tobacco and cigars there is only about q
fifty per cent reduction on tobacco, while
the tax on cigars remains rs it now is.
This is the worst feature in the bill. II
will coat lust as much to keep up the
system to collect four cents pound on
tobacco as it costs to collect the present
rate OF eight cents. The tail !. should
have gone with the hide. " asia
