The FINANCIAL NEWS.

The equitable method pursued by the
Narragausett Electric Light Company
and the city Is arriving at definite bill,
upon which both could agree, commends
itself to the public generally. The provis-
ions of the bill, elsewhere printed In this
The main contention which was made
by the city's representatives has been en-
bodied In the bill, and allows the city to
erect its own lighting plant when It may
see fit to do so. 1t Is To be doubted, how
ever, ii IL will ever sea 1t.
As the experience OF other cities and
most especially that Of Chicago recently
tend to show that city. management Is
not economical the provision allowing to
the company not over per cent on It's
stock is prudent one, but one to which
the company would make no objection, as
its fixed and Interchangeable rule has been
that rate Of earrinxs and no more.
The cessation Of the express train be-
tween Providence and Boston by the New
York and New England road Is to be re-
gretted. IL Is to be assumed, however,
that financial considerations have caused
it. The serious drawback for the New
England has been for a long time its IN
ability for money reasons to force It's ser
vice to the highest degree Of efficiency.
The sale of the stock Of the Rhode Is
land and Narragansett railroad by which
the New England was to enter Provi-
dence on its own tracks will not prevent
it entirely from an entrance to the city.
1t can enter via Providence a. spring
field or over the tracks OF the Providence
a. Worcester. The effect OF the blow ~
has received by the loss OF the control OF
the Rhode Island & Massachusetts Rail
road has not been felt In the stock, pre-
sumably because Of the present enormous
short interest In 1t.

A Vast Volume of Water Floods
Sioux City, Iowa.
ELEVEN PEOPLE ARE DROWNED.
Eight thousand People Were Made

n Raging Torrent Through the Middle
of the City.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Msg l9.--Soon after
7o'clock yesterday morning great wave
came down the Floyd river, which flows
through the center OF the city and which
was already swollen bank full. Only q
few OF the inhabitants of the lowlands
had been notified Of the impending dan
ger. The first intimation was volume
of water spreading over the banks to Q
depth OF three feet and throwing mist
OF foam from it. In a few minutes the
water had risen above the first floors and
several thousand persons fled in terror to
the higher ground.
The water rose feet in one hour and o
half and from 9 o'clock continued to rise
steadily, but not SO rapidly. Probably
10000 habitants Of the city live on the
low ground which Is overfiowed. SO rap
Id was the rise of the tide that great mum
bers were unable to escape and the work
Of rescue engaged the energy Of the peo-
pie.
At 12 o'clock eleven persons were re-
ported drowned and there must be many
others. The only names obtained 80 far
are: Nellie West, child; Mrs. Louise Hor-
ner and two children.
At o'clock the fire alarm was sounded
to call out more workers. All the boats
from the boat houses on the Sioux river
had been brought in and are being used
to save life and property. The Missouri
river is very high and when the food in
the Floyd river struck it the water
damned up and rushed over the adjacent
low grounds.
The stock yards and packing houses
were situated at the confluence OF the
two rivers, and they were instantly inun.
dated. About 200 head of live stock were
drowned. Many hundred of dead stock
have also been floating down the Floyd
river.
The whole railroad yards and switch
ing track district Is under wnter and
there has been immense damage to the
round house and railroad property. The
round house of the Chicago, st. Paul &
Minneapolis and Omaha are damaged to
the extent Of $4,000. That road, the Ill
inois Central and the Sioux City q
Northern enter the city by the Floyd
valley and all are stopped. Not train

Att d. m. the water had reached to
jennings street on Fourth street. The
Hotel Fowle and the Boston Investment
G,inpany's building are surrounded by
water: The Union depot was cut on at
o'clock.
1t is estimated that 5000 people have
been driven from their homes. All busi-
ness is suspended. The Chamber of Com
-merce organized for relief work. Befor
noon the ladies had several soup ano
lunch houses opened for the food suffer
srs.
1t is impossible yet to estimate the los
OF property but it will be large. There Is
only one telegraph wire working out o
the city and that runs to Omaha.
This makes it impossible to adequately
tell the story Of the food. 1t Is the worst
flood ever known here. Reports from tbs
country indicate widespread damage.

Attempts at Settlement Are Being Made.
The journeymen plumbers are still de-
termined, and apparently the masters, or
few of them, ut least, are just as deter
mined. A committee of the journeymen
has been making visits to all the shops,
with a view TO learning the opinions of
the different proprietors regarding set
tlement, and TO find out which are most
opposed TO the granting Of their demands.
The result of the inquiry has, so far, not
been ascertained.
The committee heretofore appointed by
the master plumbers have had no power
TO act, but il Is understood that a move
ment is on foot to have a committee APP
pointed which shall have discretionary
power to affect "a settlement of the strike
There is some talk among the journey
men of proposing a joint debate on the
situation by committees from both sides,
to be held in one of the large halls In

THE GRANITE WORKERS.

Nothing New In the situation In Provi-
dence.
Inquiry at the Offices of a number Of the
leading granite firms in the city developed
the fact that nothing new or interesting
has occurred within twenty-four hours
concerning the strike. Some of the firms
are filling their quarries with gangs Of
non-union men, others are taking things
easy while waiting for a settlement. and
other firms with large contracts on their
hands are doing their best TO effect set
tlemeut whereby the men will return TO
work Immediately. The general opinion
seems TO be that so many men are out of
work that It will become necessary for
them to get work soon or their resources
will be exhausted.
