The Mississippi Flood.

NEW ORLEANS, March 30.-Advices
from various points regarding the Missis-
sippi levees show no marked change to-
day, except in the vicinity OF Skipwith,
where the water is steadily advancing.
The towns of Mayersville, Filters and
Hayes cannot escape inundation similar to
Skipwith. The people are moving their
goods as rapidly us possible. There is no
danger TO human life and most Of the stock
has been taken to safe ground. In Madi-
son parish the levee bank is crumbling
rapidly, but new one is being built 1t
may be completed in time to save the coun-
try. Railroads in that vicinity and all
along the riverside are the heaviest suffer
ers. Some divisions have been entirely
abandoned and others will be soon unless
the situation improves. The town Of Ray
vile is in imminent danger. A four-inch
rise will flood it. Greenvillc, Miss, is
now on an island The town is in great
danger of being inundated. The situation
is unimproved from last night, though the
lcvces are not yet gone. A now break oc-
Cured at Huntington this morning and
the water in the town is now raising at
the rate of an inch and n half per hour,
All railroads there arc abandoned.

BERLIN, March 29.-Princc Bis

country seat, to-day. Yesterday he visited
the imperial mausolcum and placed n
wreath on the colin of William !.
Thousands Of persons gathered in Will
helmstrasse and along the route to the rail-
way station and greeted Bismarck with
stormy enthusiasm. The windows Of the
houses In the vicinity were crowded with
spectators. The entire route was sea OF
waving handkerchicfs. A number of 9TH
cr carriages filed with friends and:admircrs
closed the procession. When tho party
arrived ut the station all the ministers OF
the diplomatic corps and court and state
officials were waiting 10 bid farewell to
the prince, and he was greeted by n great
mass Of people outside. Mountains Of
bouquets for the prince and princess were
piled in the waiting rooms.
Prince Bismarck, In hearty voice bid
all hearty farewell, Mr.. Phelps, Amcri-
can Minister, and Cnprivi being among
the last to shake his hand. Many tears
were shed, and II was altogether an affect.

removed cheering.
In connection with the regard cvinccd
by Bismarck for the people 1t Is worthy OF
note that on Thursday last he denied him
self to all others and received Mr.. Phelps
ut u private audience. Tho object Of dis
cussion has excited much curiosity. Ru

British Capital in Mexico.

The flow OF British capital into
Mexico is one Of the most remarkable
features Of the recent history of our money
markets, says the London Ne,rs. In lssa
the total capital OF Mexican enterprises
registered in London was only trilc over
=, 600; since then II has been progress
ing literally by ''lcaps and bouLds,n TIL
last year II was certainly over fl5, 100000.
Railways, lands, mines, public fuads, and
banks have all participated in this .ertiliz
Ing stream until the maintenance Of order
In the republic has become almost as i'm
portant to Great Britain us TO Mexico her
self. Tho Mexican railway, the National
railway, the Inter Oceanic Mexican South
ern are all strictly English companies.
Tho Tehauntepcc line is also being con
structed with British capital, and the first
mortgage bonds of the Central railway are
stated to have passed into British hands,
while the colossal work, the drainage OF
tho valley OF Mexico, has been undertaken
by English capitalists, with the guarantee
Of the municipality OF Mexico. Further
than this, our secretary OF legation, Sir
Francis Denys, tells us that In two states
Of the republic alone several mlllica acres
Of land are owned by British subject who
arc engaged in cattle raising. MEANWHILE
and this is perhaps the strangest part Of
the case, tho Americans, with tho cxccp
ton OF mining ventures, are gradually re-
tIripg from all Mexican investments. Its
suggested that probably tho American cap
ltalist is weary OF the Mcxican's slow and
iilatory movements. II is TO bc hoped then
when the true explanation is forthcoming
|, will not prove to be more fattering to
American cutoncss.

Effects of the Cyclone.

The results OF the terrible cyclone
at Louisville, Kentucky, last Thurs, ny,

A Disabled Steamer.

QUEENSTOWN, March 30.-The In
man line steamer City Of Paris, towed by
the steamer Aldergate, arrived at Queens
town at o'clock this morning. The acci-
dent which occurred on Tuesday was
caused by the breaking Of tho low pressure
cylinder Of the port engine, tho pieces Of
metal forcing the bulkhead and making y
hole In tho double bottom and disabling the
starboard engine.
Tho passengers became panic-stricken
when they found that the ship was making
water and that there was possibility Of
the vessel laundering. The water, which
flooded tho engine compartment, was
forced through injection tubes which, 1t is
alleged, tho engineers during tho excite
ment had neglected TO shut The star
board engine wns shattered almost to
pieces and tho port engine rooms were
filled with upwards Of 1900 tons Of water,
and tho port engine was entirely useless.
Terrible consequences would have oc
CURED but for the bravery Of the second
engineer who, at tho peril Of his life, man
aged to shut OFF the steam, thus saving the
hihehihClJ itOm totai uShioiieiohs
Tho life bouts were cleared and the
pumps kept working. The weather was
tine and there was no wind
Tho steamer driited helplessly until the
twenty-sixth, when the captain sent tho
chief officer and six men in u life boat to
get into the track Of other line steamers
in the hope Of intercepting the City Of
Chester or the Adriatic
Tho boat met the Adriatic, which de-
clincd to take the tow, but sent the stoam-
er Aldcrgnte instead. 1t is very small
steamer, unable to tow over four or five
Knots hourly, and the progress was slow
until Saturday, when the Ohio was sight
cd. She stood by until three p. m, when
the Fastnet was sighted. Two tugs werc
sent later. Tho water kept increasing In
spite of tho work of the pumps.
An examination is being made by divers.
