The River Near Arkansas City threaten
ing Again.
ARKANSAS CITY, June 2. The river has
fallen one-tenth during the past twenty
four hours. The gauge this morning shows
1915. The backwater is still rising at the
Iate of four inches in twenty-four hours,
and it is now % feet of the highest point
reached by the backwater of 1890, and
within five feet of the highest point reached
by the backwater Of last year.
1t is over the Missouri Pacific tracks,
Just this side of Bayou Macon, and Is cut
ting the dump badly The probability is
chat the company will lose several hun
dred feet of the dump at that point. 1t is
over the track at another place bet ween
Trippe and Bayou Macon, but is not cut
ting the dump Trains between Trippe
and McGhee were abandoned yesterday on
account OF the high water just south Of
McGhee junction.
A private telegram from Warner yester
day afternoon reported that tbs water be-
gan running out of the break on the Ar
kansas river This is due to the rise that
is coming down the Arkansas. The
amount of damage that will be done by it
will depend altogether on the height to
which the Arkansas goes. The rise that
came down the Arkansas about four weeks
ago came out through the Auburn break
and destroyed the dam around Reedville,
Kearuey, Dumas and Walnut Lake.
This water left the country, however,
two weeks ago, and the farmers have all
replanted and these replanted farms are
now doing we'll If the present rain con-
tinues and the Arkansas goes to 90 feet al

The Iron Age in "A succinct aad vigor-
Gus article discusses the iron capacity
of American furnaces and points out that
while the aggregate capacity of all the
furnaces is I4.550.70S gross tons, only
about 5000, 900 tons of this can be kept
going with No. | iron at $l4 ton, so
tina, at current prices this is the capacity
of the furnaces. There is 100000 more
which can be produced ut SIS, ana equal
amounts at SIG and Sl7. Practically,
then, the live capacity is 100000, tons,
and as the number of Sl4-a-ton furnaces
steadily grows the dearer furnaces might
rs well be in 1imbuctoo. They have
been wiped out by the struggle for
cheapucss; except that price advances
and this is not likely.

No Walking Backward.

New York society has been relieved
from an awful anxiety. There will be
no walking backward at the ball which
is to be given in honor of the lnfanta
Eulalia tomorrow The Princess has
graciously waived the rigid requirements
of Spanish etiquette. The guests will
be presented to the Infanta precisely as
they wonld be to any well-bred lady,
and will be permitted to turn and walk
away after the presentation is over in
the safe and decorous way to which they
have been accustomed. SO the world
will be spared the painful spectacle of
stout and elderly short-sighted ladies'
bowling backward slowly and awkWardly
out of the royal presence, or pcrchance
the narrowing vision of Ward McAllster
tripping over hem in the carpet.
But this is not the only momcntous
question which has been settled. II Is
also decided that there shall be no kiss
ing of hands. The Princess is response
bic. too. for this discision. The -Four
Hundred did not object to an osculatory
salute of royalty. In fact, the ceremony
was anticipated with keen delight. 1t
involved none of the perils and discom-
forts of travelling backward before Il
critical multitude. But the lnfanta has
determined, very sensibly. to conform to
the customs of this country. If if is not
the practice in New York to kiss the
hand of a royal parsonage upon presen-
taton then she wants no kissing. In
this and other things she makes it
known that she desires to follow the
usages of the best society in America.
