rapidly as to cause fear that a great
deal of damage will be done by flood.

up by dynamite as soon as it begins to
float. There was q rainfall OF nearly

flooded and the industrial establish
ments forced to discontinue operations.

water is causing much damage along
Rock river. The Turtle, one of its
largest tributaries in this part of the

the Chicago a Northwestern are being
guarded by gangs of section men armed
with pike poles to steer ice foes away.

again rising, and another flood is pre-
dicted by tomorrow. At Port Deposit,

New YORK, March 1l.aThe strike

yet made itself felt on the railways
running into this city. Trains, both

less, the officers of the roads
watching with great interest the de-
velOpment of the trouble in Toledo.
They recognize that strike on only a
single road may, if not properly man
aged, Involve a large number. None of
the officers of either the New York
Central, the West Shore, the Erie or the
Pennsylvania believe, however, that
the present strike will extend.

Vice Grand Master Downey and Presi-
dent Carpenter, the result of which was
an agreement TO truce which Is TO
last until next "Wednesday, pending a.
meeting of the grievance committee,
which is to assemble tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock. Mr.. DOwney had not
notified the men of the arrangement,
and at O'Clock, thinking that in another
hour they would have to leave anyway,
they decided to stop work. AS soon as
the fact was telegraphed to the train dis
patcher's Office. DOwney started down
the road. and calling the switch
men together, he explained matters. 1t
was too late for the day crew to return
to work, but the night crew went on
duty as usual, except that they were an
hour and twenty minutes late. There
was Int little Inconvenience caused by
the affair. In other words, the situation
remains unchanged and the general
managers are awaiting the action OF the
men, which will be taken probably
within the next fOrty-eight hours.

The Secretaries OVerrun With
Seekers Of Office.
WASHINGTON, March lit is an
nounced at the treasury department
that several treasury appointments will
be sent to the senate by the president
on Monday. Secretary Carlisle has
been so overrun with callers since he
assumed office that he has has not had
time to give the subject of changes in
the Offices attention. The most pressing
subject, that of building up the gold re-
serve, having been accomplished for
the present at least, he today turned his
attention TO the subject OF offices.
Secretary Hoke Smith has set hot
pace for his subOrdinates in the amount
of hard work he does each day with
comparative ease. He does not, how
early to suit the crowd of officeSeekers,
many of whom he finds when he ar
rives waiting around the doors of the
department.
At the postoffice department there
was the usual crowd waiting to see Post
master General Bissell, and the presi-
dents announced determination to per-
nit all efficient pOStmaSterS to serve out
their four years term has produced Il
depressing effect. Many of the appii-
cants are men of resources, and they try
to convince Mr.. Bissell that the post
masters in their towns are anything but
efficient and deserve dismissal in case
| they refuse to resign.
Secretary Morton today indicated his
! purpose of retaining the efficient en-
ployes of the department, without re-
! gard to politics. Several of the expert

! shortly be notified that no change will
| be made in their positions. The secre-
tary desires to bring the department uI
to the highest sphere of usefulness, with
| a view of benetitiug the farmers and
the country. When changes become
necessary, he will recognize the claims
of party workers only in cases where
the efficiency of the candidate iS~eaual
if not superior, to that of the incum
bent. Donald MacQUaig, of Nebraska
City, the new chief cierk of the depart
ment, assumed the duties of his position
today.
Today witnessed but little diminutior
in the number of callers at the state de-
| parlment. The. nomination of mum

/ There was the usual crowd at the de-
partment of justice looking after the
inarshalships and the various Judicial
appointments throughout the country
The papers are being put in order fol
the attorney general to take up some OF
these cases next week. There is very
hard fight being made for the circuit

motion of Judge Jackson to the supreme
bench. The appointment is claimed by
Michigan, and there are four very active
candidates from that state, besides those
from other states in the circuit.

LIVING IN SECOND STORIES.
Perilous Position of People Near
Peoria, III.

CHICAGO, March IL. - Dispatches
from various points in Illinois report
that the rivers are rising rapidly. owing
to the recent warm weather, and
fears are entertained of a serious
flood in several sections. Peoria
reports that the dixie protecting the
marsh dist rict is in danger, and that
many people in that vicinity are NOV
ing out. The water is now within
eighteen inches of the top. The Hi
nOiS river is rising at the rate Of nearly
an inch an hour. at the narrOws
above Peoria people are living in
the second stories of their houses.
In the TaZewell bottoms, across the
river, there has been loss of cattle. 1t is
reported from Henry that the govern
ment lock and dam are unsafe, and 4
further rise may take them out. Should
this happen the valley below would be
swept by the floods. A dispatch from
Freeport says much damage has been
done in various parts or Stephenson
county. The streams in that vicinity
are higher than for years past.
The passing out of ice in Rock
river yesterday caused high water,
and today the lower part of town
of Dixon was inundated. Many resi-
dents were compelled TO leave their
homes. Virginia. ILL.,, reports that the
Illinois river is now three miles wide at
BeardStOwn and rising rapidly. All
people on the lowlands are moving out
as rapidly as possible.

Western New York Streams on a
Rampage.

Rampage.
BATAVIA, N. e., March 11.-There
was sudden rise of the waters of the
TOwanda creek this morning, and this
afternoon there was ali unprecedented
flood covering many acres of land west
OF this city. The ice gorge is at
Redfeld farm and another gorge formed
near the New York Central bridge, the
surrounding highways being submerged
by several feet of water. The western
portion of the city is inundated, and
nearly every cellar on the south side Of
West Main street is full. Many farmers
who came here yesterday remained all
night, fearing tn venture through the
flood. The damage will be considerable
unless the ice moves out.
ROCHESTER,, n. Y, March II. - A
good share of Western New York is
under water, and things are looking
dangerous for Rochester. The Genesee
river is clear for mile above the city,
but, with that exception, the gulf Of ice
is intact, and unless there is sudden
cold spell. this immense field must
come down soon and let loose the great
accumulation of water now held by the
gOrgeS near Mount Morris. The village
of Mount Norris is mostly submerged
already, as well as several smaller vii
lagos along the upper river. The loss
so far reaches into hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. Business in the flooded
region is stranded.

HARRISBURG. Pa, March 1.-THE
Susquehanna river was nearly fifteen
feet above low water mark at noon and

CHICAGO, March 11.-Switchmen in
The employ of the Chicago IL Eastern
Illinois road stopped work this after
noon at o'clock. and returned to their
duties at 7:2O. 1t was not exactly a
strike, but was the result of a miSun-

the road, had issued a demand for an
answer to his refusal to grant an
increase in wages, and had insisted that
the men must inform him by O'Clock

1t is now assumed that Senator Hill

PHILADELPHIA, March Il.-Nearly
200 men left this city last night on a
special train of four cars, which pulled
out of the Pennsylvania Broad street
station at IL o'clock for Pittsburg. All
of them were under contract with en-
plOyment agents in this city to take the
places of Switchmen on roads centering
in Chicago. 1t is believed that the men
are to be followed by 500 more at Pitts

also threaten to bring suits for back
