ENGINEER Herring HERE.
He Is Going Over the Plans for the r

He Is Going Over the Plans for the Pro-
posed Intercepting Sewer.
The report of the board of sanitary
engineers and their recommendation for
a general plan of sewers for the District Of Co
lumbia is still fresh in the minds Of the read
ers Of THE STAR. For the purpose of
carrying out this general plan Congress in
appropriating last year for the current expenses
Of the District inserted clause under the head
of sewers appropriating $4,000 for the COM
mencement Of main intercepting sewer
to run from the Potomac river
near Easby's Point to near the inter-
section of 18th and streets northwest. 1t was
further provided that the detailed plans of this
sewer should be approved by a consulting en-
gineer selected by the President.
Some time ago the President named Mr. Ru-
dolph Herring. an engineer Of considerable ex-
perience, and the sewer department has waited
some time for him TO approve the plans which
have been completed.
Today Mr.. Herring arrived. He called upon
Capt. Lusk, who has charge of the construc-
tion and maintenance of sewers. and had
long conversation with him concerning
the work mapped out. Later he repaired
to the office of the superintendent of
sewers, and, together with Mr.. McComb. the
plans and profies were carefully gone over
Mr. Herring. however. when approached by a
reporter of The STAR said that he had not be-
come sufficiently familiar with the plans to saw
anything about them.

They VIII Enter the Cherokee Strip With
out Permission From Congress.
CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-A special from Kansas
City. Kan, says:
Cherokee strip matters have taken a new and
somewhat sensational turn since the publication
of the fact that Congress IL not likely to ratify
the treaty in time for homesteaders to put in
crops this spring. and the advice to them to
rent farms in Kansas and Oklahoma out OF
which to make a living during the coming year.
This utter disregard Of Congress for the ne
cessities of the people has caused great indig-
nation here and permanent organization mas
been perfected with the avowed determination
to go upon and occupy the lands of the strip
Immediately without awaiting the action OF
Congress.
A general mass meeting of all ''boomers'
has been called to meet at Cole, just over the
line south Of this place. on next Wednesday at
u o'clock to set the day for the invasion and
to perfect a systematic plan of procedure.
The thousands of "boomers" waiting here are
very much aroused over the dilatory tactics
OF Congress, and they have fully determined
to go upon the lands in utter dis
regard of the consequences. The misery and
want that will be the result of their not
going upon the ''strip'' in time to make crop
has been fully discussed and they have made
up their minds TO go ahead without the con-
sent of Congress.

Little Change in the Situation at Port
Deposit.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ELKToN. Nd. Feb. 20.--This morning found
but little change in the situation at Port De-
post, which is becoming more Sc
rious each hour. The river still
continues TO rise, and all the northern part of
the town is under ten feet of water. Huge
blocks of ice are floating through the streets,
making navigation in boats dangerous. Houses
have been washed from their foundations and
are floating about.
The weather is intensely cold and the
ground is covered with several inches of
now. Should this weather continue the
blocks of ice will freeze and cause a
worse gorge than ever. The italian workmen
az the quarries are suffering from the effect of
the food. Their houses hase been flooded and
some carried down the river this morning
Several of them could be seen budding
around log fires on the hills.
The general opinion was expressed by river
men Monday that the wates will reach stage
of ffty-six feet. The indications above are
still favorable to rise, while the southern
streams are still full.
CISCISNATI, ONO. Feb. 20.-The river has
assumed the threatening aspect 1t continued
to rise during Saturday night and all of Sun
day. From noon Suday to o clock this morn
ing it rose Just foot A.. inches.
The tood has now created real alarm. Trade
and traffic is lnterfered with. Newport is al
ready suffering in the lower streets. Mill creek
is flooded almost to the top of the banks and
the water has crept into some cellars on the
upper sides of Front street.
At o'clock this morning the Big Four and
Chesapeake and Ohio trains were the only
ones running into the Grand Central
depot. The Baltimore and Ohio south
western does not come III farther
than Sth street. The Cincinnati Southern
is making its depot at Mclean avenue and the
Ohio and Mississippi at Mill street. The Big
are running like boats through a
foot OF water at the foot of Smith,
Mound and other streets. The switchmen.
clad in rubber boots, are working the switches
with the water up TO their knees. The depot
master at the Grand Central depot said: mo
trains can come into the depot at n stage of
tifty-tiye feet in the river. At fifty-fvo feet
the water will cover the lower end of the plat
form. but it will take foot or two more to
bring it up to the gates.
HUNTINGDON, W. VA. Feb. 20.-The OHIO
river is now higher than at any time
since the disastrous food of 1888. The
wind is blowing fearful gale. and the
waves are ten to twenty feet high. There
has been much damage to wharf boats and
other floating properties. Nine small house
cupants i'll some cases barely escaping with
their lives. Towns adjacent to Hunt
ington, not so highly located are suffer-
ing very much. Houses have been upset
and wiped away at Ceredo, involving the loss
of hundreds of dollars. If the river continues
10 rise much longer Huntington will also be in
danger.
