suffering from want of food and shelter.
Starving people are applying for food
every hour at the police station. Busi-

CHICAGO, May 17.-Ignatius Donnelly,
Alliance candidate for president and
author of ''The Great Cryptogram, was
defeated in Judge Blodgett's court in
bout with his publishers. TIL firm is
R. S. Peale & Co. Of this city, who had
the contract for printing and circulating
Mr.. Donnelly's book. Mr.. Donnelly Sc
cured a loan from Peale & Co. Of "a 900
five years ago. The book was not as
successful as expected and the result was
that the company was 81 900 out. They
began suit for the amount and interest,
and Judge Blodgett entered Judgment
against Donnelly for s5,29372. The
judgment was entered on Donnelly's
failure to file affidavits of merits. Mr..
Donnelly's claim was that Peale & CO.
could not recover as they had already
realized the amount on sales Of the book,
or if they had not it was because they
had failed to push the sale of the publ
cations. W.

statesman of the extraordinary caliber
which he is now convinced Mr. Blaine
possesses. "Mr. Blaine" said Mr..

ST.. LOUIS, May 19.-The flood situa-
ton is more serious than since the water
began rising. At 8 p. IN. the gauge
"a 4 feet, with the river stationary al
though having rising tendency. 1t is
raining heavily here and general rains
are reported throughout the valley. In
all probability the river will go over 36
feat before coming to a stand.
The American bottoms on the Illinois
side are flooded. The dykes above have
given way and only the Chicago and
Alton bank is holding back the floods.
OF course great deal depends on the
point at which any break may occur as
to the amount of damage done. At pres
ent three-quarters OF the American bot
tom, which is a tract of land twenty five
miles long by five miles wide is under
water.
East St. Louis and Madison are still
safe, they being higher than the sur
rounding country. The towns Of Venice,
Brooklyn, East Madison, East Carondo-
let. Centervllle Station, Forest Lawn
and Cahokai are under from five TO
twenty feet of water. At least ninety
square miles of the most fertile farming
land is inundated and thousands OF fam
lies have been driven from their homes
and forced to seek refuge on the Pitts
burg Bluffs just east Of the flooded dis
trict. They are without shelter OF food.
They were forced by the sudden rise Of
the waters to leave all their property be-
hind them. In many instances the
farmers managed to drive their stock to
safety but in many others all they saved
was their lives.
The bottoms in the forks of the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi is worse overtiowed
than in 1888 Missouri Point is vast
triangular sea of water twenty-five miles
on two sides and twelve at it's base. It is
estimated that over 200 square miles of
land, almost all farming land, is under
water. Farmers will have to begin the
season anew when the waters recede.
Boschertown, a village about three miles
north of St. Charles. is all under water.
The ferryboat Fawn steamed into the
main street Of town at dusk and tied up
to IL tree in mans yard over night. 81
Advices at midnight state that two
breaks have occurred in the Chicago and
Alton embankment, one near Nameoki,
Ills, the other near Mitchell, Ills. This
means that the entire American bottom
will be flooded. Train and mail service
are all badly effected.

AN IMMENSE STRIKE.

Granite Cutters Throughout the New Eng

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE lockout of
granite cutters throughout the New
England States was declared during the
morning, throwing from 10000 to 30, 600
men out of employment. At the same
time number of strikes were ordered
in sympathy with the stone cutters, and
conservative estimate places the num-
bers of locked-:out quarrymen at 12O, 900,
mainly in Boston, Quincy, Monson,
Rockport and Milford, Mass; Concord,
N. H.; Hallowell, Waterville, Clarks
Mills and Portland, Me-; Barre, VT, and
Westerly, R. I. The men have been re-
markably quiet and well behaved so far
everywhere.
The immediate effect of this will be to
bring to standstill all building opera
tions, with menace Of still more far
reaching effects. Many Of their trades
will undoubtedly be influenced if the
struggle is protracted. The men say
they have the means to continue the
contest indefinitely and believe on the
other hand that the urgency of contracts
will compel the employers to surrender.
