AUGUSTA, GA, March 9.-Not since the
great food Of September, 1858, has the Sa-
vannah been so high. Sunday night 1t reg
istered IA feet, and since then it has been
steadily climbing upward. At u o'clock
Tonight it reached IS feet and inch, and
was raising about an inch an hour. Thirty
eight feet will completely cover the town,
but the rivermen say that the highest point
has been reached. The water has covered
the upper portion of the city as far down as
Campbell street. On upper Reynolds street
the wafer has reached depth Of four or
five. feet and many houses are flooded. So
far no serious accidents have happened,
although many rumors can be heard on the
streets
THE GREATEST DANGER
What is feared most is the breaking of
the canal dam between here and the locks.
All the railroads are flooded and the Geor-
gia road trains are the only trains that can
leave the depot. Other trains stop outside
of the city. All the merchants have moved
their goods to high places, and should the
water go to IS feet, as in 1888. very little
stock would be damaged. Telegraphic
information from up the river TO the signal
service says that no rain has fallen since
O'Clock tonight, and that the river has done
its worst. Business was nearly suspended
all day, and the people were much excited.

sentatives' Association, tho immediate OBJ
ject of which is to secure legislation for the

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.
A Hitch in the Projected Trip OF Sir
Tupper to Washington.

A Hitch in the Projected Trip OF Sir
Tupper to Washington.
CHICAGO, March ga special dispatch
from Ottawa, Ont, says: "There has evil
IDENTIFY been some hitch in the projected trip
OF Sir Charles Tupper and his colleagues to
Washington, and it is believed that it is to
the refusal Of Newfoundland to join in the
negotiations with Canada for reciprocity
with the United States that the delay may
be attributed. 1t is learned, however, from
a reliable quarter. that a meeting Of the
cabinet is to be held to discuss the matter,
when some definite action may be decided
upon. Sir Charles Tupper's views as TO
what reciprocity should be, and as to the
limits to which the Dominion govern
ment is prepared to go are somewhat at
variance. Sir Charles idea is more liberal
in its scope and application than the views
of his colleagues. Sir Charlas during the
recent cam align, while in Nova Scotia, as
sured the electors of that province that
whatever arrangements might be made for
reciprocal exchange of commodities between
Canada and the United States, there would
be no modification in the duty imposed upon
bituminuous coal imported from the United
States. 1t is learned that this assurance was
given upon his own responsibility and that
several members of the cabinet. especially
those from Ontario, are opposed to any
such arrangement"

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, March 26.-There was
. row started in the legislature to-day over

,zorld's fair bill which places the disposition
Of the 81. 900 900 which it is proposed to ap-
nronriate for a state exhibit in the hands of
fhe state board of agriculture. A resolution
was introduced to-day depriving the board
of its authority on the ground that it
renresents but one interest In the state, that
of agriculture, and placing it in the hands
of a special commission of twenty-five MEM
hers TO be selected from the congress
sionaI districts of the state at large.
There was a wordy warfare over the resolu-
s,on. which was finally referred to a COM
mittee. But the end is not yet, both the
farmers: and city representatives being
determined in the matter.

CHICAGO, ILL, March 26.-The general
committee of the woman's branch of the

Marchioness of Lorne and others whose
names are withheld until answers are re-
ceived.
The electric men, who intend to make a
big exhibit at the Columbian exposition. are
formulating and will soon present protest
against what they call the unfair treatment

the hands of the exposition people. They
have petitioaed the worlds fair authorities
tomake the building fifty per cent larger.
Unless this is done the electrical exhibit
will have to be divided up among several
buildings and the electrical people hold that
the electrical display would be thereby prac-
tIcally ruined.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, March 26.-The st. Louis
Stamping Company, of which ex-Congress~
man Niedringhaus of this city is president,
has inaugurated the actual work of erect
ing the first tin plate works in this city. 1t
is expected that when the new works are
completed it will put on the market
between 400 and 500 boxes per day,
and the capacity will be increased
as the demand requires. The iron
now used by this company in
the manufacture of tin plates comes from
Chattanooga, Tenn, but it is proposed to
establish mammoth steel and iron
foundry just north of the new town of
Madison, Ills, founded by the Merchants
Bridge Company. This will turn out all the
iron sheets used IN the manufacture of tin
plate. Employment will be given to 1000
men. The reason for establishing the iron
mills on the east side Of the river is the ac-
cessibility and cheapness of fuel, there being
1880 acres of the best coal in the country
within eleven miles of Madison
