THE MISSISSIPPI BOOMING.
Repetition of 1890 Floods Feared-Only
Five Feet Below the Highest Mark.

Repetition of 1890 Floods Feared-Only
Five Feet Below the Highest Mark.
NEW YORK, March At. J. Herman,
attorney for the Louisville, New Or
leans & Texas railroad company, tele-
graphed to the officers of that company
in this city, from Baton Rouge, La, as
follows: The Mississippi is booming
here. The guage now reads thirty-one
and half feet and rising. This is only
five feet lower than the high water mark
of 1890, when tie high water mark was
raised higher than ever before known.
The top notch of high water in 1890 was
not reached until April 81, and naturally
great apprehension is felt here and all
along the lower Mississippi valley that
there will be a repetition of the Hood OF
last year, That congress should do
something in this emergency is strongly
urged by everyone in this section, the
general opinion being that every dollar
spent now. for protection would be
worth more than hundred spent here
after for the relief of flood sufferers.
Reports from Other Sources.
NEW ORLEANS, March 2.-Col. Wright,
of the Vicksburg Commercial telegraphs
that the high stage of water from Cairo
to the gulf creates uneasiness through
ont that section. Another rise in the
Ohio. accompanied with one from the
Arkansas, would put the levees to a Sc
we're strain.
A special from Natchez says the sit
, nation along the lower Mississippi is
unite critical. The levees are not in as
good condition as they were last yea1
and there is a constant fear of their Civ
ing way under the pressure at many
noints along the line.

FLOODS ARE RAGING.
FEARFUL LOSS TO LIFE AND
PROPERTY IN THE WEST.

Over 1,400 People Homeless at Yuma,
Ariz.-Their Houses Swept Away-Rep-
elton of the Great Floods of Last Year
Feared on the Lower Mississippi.
YUMA, Ariz., March 2.-Over $50
houses are in ruins in this place and
about / 400 people are homeless. 1t is
feared that hundreds of lives have been
lost in the Giia valley. No reliable re-
ports can be obtained from that locality
as the roads are impossible and all the
wines are down. Above Yuma the river
is seven miles wide and below the town
the water covers the country in one
grand lake over fifty miles across. Over
1000 persons are being fed ally at the
Southern Pacific and the town has pro-
visions sufficient for eight days more.
The blockade of west-bound trains, it is
expected, will be raised in about four
days, but it will be at least two weeks
before they can go East.
Many Lives Lost.
Reports from Jakuno, fifteen miles
above here, are to the effect that the
food drove the people into tree tops.
Many became exhausted from cold and
luo dOdlSu aAu
dropped into the water and were
drowned. 1t is estimated that anywhere
between thirty and hundred lives were
lost in the valley. Desolation reigns
supreme all along the valley. Every
house on the hills has been thrown open
to receive the homeless and hungry and
hundreds are quartered in tents and
government buildings. The merchants
have opened their goods in the streets in
order to help the sufferers. The water
Is still high for 200 miles east of this
point, and as all of this must pass here
many fear that the worst is yet to come.
In this county
Losses Foot Up Nearly 80, 100000,
and the damages suffered by the rail
road company will amount to more than
$3.50 0,000 The common loss has brought
all classes of citizens together, and all
have worked with will. first in trying
to save the town, by constructing levees,
and when that effort proved futile,
in saving as much as possible
from the ruins. The old town will
probably not be rebuilt, as both mer
chants and residents will erect their
stores and houses on the hills in order to
be out of reach Of any further damage.
A boat arrived from Mohawk, sixty
miles up the Gilla river, brings
Reports of Terrible Loss of Life,
all the country being under water. The
greatest sufferers are the poor Mexicans,
whose entire possessions have been
swept away and who have no reserves
to fail back upon. There is yet vast
stretch of territory to be heard from,
and every one fears that when full re-
turns are in the loss of life will prove of
appalling magnitude. Reports from
the valley of the Colorado below this
place state that
Hundreds of Cocopal Indians
have been drowned They are located
about sixty miles south of here, and
their tribe is about 5000 strong. Their
villages are all on low land, and there
are no hills on which the Indians could
take refuge An immense number of
them must have been caught in the flood
and swept away. The water rose six
feet in twelve hours, and came on them
almost without warning.

"The Twelve Temptations"

Concerning the second edition. of William
J. Gilmore's spectacle, ''The Twelve Temp.a-
tons" which VIII be presented at the Seattle
opera-house this evening, an exchange says:
1.-The main success of The Twelve Tempta-
tons will unhesitatingiy be aseribed TO the
elaborate scenery, of which more is carried than
by any other attraction on the road. Not only in
quantity but in quality does this show surpass
all others travelling. Some of the scenes are
equal 10 prize paintings, and after looking at
the entire array one hardly knows where TO be-
stow the preference. The artists were Messrs
H. L Reid. Charles 5. Getz and Harley Merry,
and Homer Emeus, all eminent in their lines OF
stage illustration. Mr.. Merry displays his genius
in the first and second acts, having as his sub
jee;s. The Council Chamber of Boreas,' The
Village of Wilma by the Sea, The Baronial
Hall of wurldburg, and The Deck of the Odin'
In the third act Mr. GetE treats The Heart of the
Frigid Zone The Golden Bowers OF Zero The
Exterior of Zeros Abode, The Cavern OF the
Green Dragon and The Golden Galley OF the
sun Queen Mr.. Reid devotes his brush in
the fourth act TO The Jeweled Terrace The
