TRAINS LEFT in THE FLOODS
Tho River Near Arkansas City threaten
ing Again.


The River Near Arkansas City threaten
ing Again.
ARKANSAS CRY, June 2. The river has
fallen one tenth during the past twenty
four hours. The gauge this morning shows
49.15. The backwater is still rising at the
tate of four inches in -twenty-four hours,
and it is now 90 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 il cut
ting the dump badly The probability is
thai 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 McGhes were abandoned yesterday on
account OF the high water just south of
McGhee junction.
A private telegram from Warner yestar
day afternoon reported that thu 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 il
will depend altogether on the height to
which the Arkansas goes. The rise that
came down the Arkansas about four weeks
ago came olt through the Auburn break
and destroyed the dam around Reedville,
Kearney, 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 COLI
tinues and the Arkansas goes to 90 feet at
Little Rock, this territory is doomed
again.
A fierce wind storm ragged here on Tues
day night and again yesterday morning.

coRDAGE TRUST AFFAIRS
An Offer to Settle Refused Point Blanl
BY Certain Creditors.

An Ofer to Settle Refused Point Blank
BY Certain Creditors.
NEW York, June 2.-Interest in Cord
age affairs has been revived here by the
report that the Cordage people have made
an offer of settlement on some of their
paper held by banks and other financial
institutions on the following basis: 80
cents cash and 70 cents on notes of Z. 8
and 10 months. This offer, it is under
stood, was refused point blank by the par
ties to whom it was made.
Another feature of the Cordage wreck is
just coming to light in the shape of half a
million Cordage paper which was placed
by brokers in out of way places, or, in
other words, outside the usual circle of
business. The holders of this paper are
residents of towns outside of New York
and are just waking up to the fact that
their holdings are of very doubtful value.
Nothing is known about the issuance of
the receivers report on Cordage affairs.
At tn offices of the company and from
those in charge of the report civil ques.
ton receives a surly answer, if not an in
sulting one.
