DANGER MARK PASSED.
Rising Waters Threaten to Rival the
Great Flood of Eleven Years Ago.

ST. Louis, May 15.-The passing of the
danger line and the continued rise of the
river at an increased rate of speed neces-
STATED the closing down of several mills
yesterday, and will force all the river
bank mills to quit work until the flood
subsidies. An elevator official states that
with a very little additional rise every
river bank grain elevator in the city or
on the east side will be forced to close.
The river is running through the Farm
ers' elevator building, and it is feared
the building may be destroyed. The
Missouri Pacific shops have two feet of
water in them. The st. Louis paper and
cotton congresses have about completed
moving the cotton out of the cellars, but
the estimate Of their loss from damage
and extra labor is $4,000. In Carondelet,
much damage is being done. The Glen
dale zinc works have suspended opera
tions. Hundreds of poor people have
been driven from the low quarters to
shelter offered by friends.

LONG and BITTER
Promites To Be the Trouble Of the
Granite Workers.
FIFTEEN THOUSAND ARE OUT In
NEW ENGLAND.

One Vermont Employer, However, Has
Refused to Join the Ranks of the Man
ufacturers-A Statement That the Lock-
out Will Last Forever Unless the Men
Surrender-In Maine Quarries.
Boston, May 15.-Tomorrow will come
the great lockout of granite workers in
England. That was the decision of the
executive committee of the Granite Man
ufacturers' Association yesterday, and
the subject was given long discussion at
an all day meeting at the Quincy House.
The enforcement of the resolutions
adopted May to suspend work in all
departments" if bills were not signed to
January 1, was unanimously agreed upon,
and the members of labor unions will be
debarred from working in all yards and
quarries of the New England Association
in the morning. The manufacturers say
it is not lockout but merely suspen-
sion of work. Yet the fact remains that
the unions will be boycotted and it is
hard to find any other word to suit the
case. Over $1,000 men connected direct
ly with the granite industry in New Eng
land will be idle and this numberwill be
augmented by several thousand through
the forced idleness of teamsters, dray-
men and others. This is only the begin
ming of a battle between capital and labor
which both sides concede will be bitter
one.

TO THE RELIEF OF PEARY.
Plans for Aiding the Maine Man in
Far Away Greenland.
MESSAGES ALREADY SENT THE
EXPLORER BY WHALERS.

Professor Heilprin Says that the Object of
the Expedition Is Not To Rescue Peary
from Dangers in Greenland But to
Save Him from the Perils of the Voyage
south-He Is Now Probably All Right.
PHILADELPHIA, May 14.-Professor
Angelo Heilprin lectured last evening at
the Academy of Natural Sciences ON
'The PROJECTED Pearey Relief Expedition"
I'm regard to the expedition which is
now in the northern regions under the
charge of Lieutenant r. E. Peary,"
said Professor Heilprin, II would like
to correct the popular belief that it is for
the purpose of discovering the North Pole.
1t is proposed to determine, if possible,
the northwest boundary of Greenland.
AT present it is not known whether that
country is an island, archipelago or an
immense island continent.
''If successful, this expedition will
solve the problem of access to the North
Pole, as it will reach the farthest point
north ever attained. Tt will also decide
the question whether an open sea or
land exists there.
''The purpose of the proposed relief
expedition is not to rescue an imperilled
party, as we believe that Peary and his
company are well and hearty, and that
they have passed the winter as comfort
ably as did ever any previous expedi-
ton.
I'VE think, however, that the party is
numerically too weak to battle with the
ice and water on their return. as thev
have not the proper means for so doing.
1T is expected that great difficulty will
be encountered in Melville Bay, which is
very dangerous. The relief party will
lie on the outside of the ice fringe Of this
bay from the 18th until the goth of July,
when it is expected that the ice will
break up, when it will push forward to
Mccormick Bay, Peary's headquarters,
reaching there about July 23d, few
days before the time that Peary's party
arrives.
Should the latter not arrive within
reasonable period of time the relief party
will search around the neighboring bays,
and for some distance into the interior,
for several weeks. 1t was previously ar
ranged that should Peary alter his plans,
or adopt any other route, he would
leave messages behind him marked by
piles of stones in places agreed upon.
plans of the proposed relief have al
ready been sent north by whalers, who
will leave them in places where it is sup
posed that Peary will find them. They
are encased in cans and kegs, painted
with the American colors.
These, however, are only precautions,
as it is firmly believed that Lieut.. Peary
and party will be found at their head
quarters on McCormick's Bay"
In addition to the Kite crew there will
be seven or eight persons besides Prof
Heilprin. In case Peary should not be
will be left at his headquarters. The re-
lief party expects to return during
September or early in October.
Lieutenant Peary's party consists of
himself, Mrs. Peary and five men.

IN MAINE QUARRIEs.
Protracted Struggle Likely at vinaIhaven
and Hurricane Island.

Protracted Struggle Likely at vinaIhaven
and Hurricane Island.
CAMDEN, May 14.-Capt. Arey of Cam
dem, who is engaged in carrying paving
stones for the Bodwell Granite Company
of Vinalhaven, has received word that
the last of the quarrymen, who have been
at work clearing up, will close their work
tonight and the works will hang up until
the strike is settled.
There were some 900 men at work in
the combined departments of the granite
works at Vinalhaven, and the present
strike bids fair to be a protracted one.
The strike is not ordered on account of
the men who get the most pay, by piece
work, but by men who do the average
heavy work in the business. AS it is
now, the workmen claim that favorites
receive the nice stones to cut, and actual
ly get very good pay. They demand that
men shall be paid SO much day, viz. !:
So as a basis, and better workmen more
wages. They also insist that May shall
be the time for regulating wages.
There are 300 men at Hurricane Island,
near Vinalhaven, who go out in the same
strike, and also quite number at Clark S
Island. So
The Situation in Knox County.
RocKLAND, May 14.-So far as the
granite workers strike in this vicinity is
concerned, there is no material change in
the situation. There has been neither
compromise nor conference between the
manufacturers and employees, and it looks
doubtful if there will be any at present.
The stonecutters at Long Cove. st.
George, were the last to suspend labor.
They went out in body this week.
