SAID Carrlston. ''The night is delic-

We went out and sat on one of the
wooden benches. AS my new friend
sald' the night was delicious. There
was scarcely breath of air moving.
ne stars and the moon shone brightly
and the rush of the not far distant
stream came to US with soothing mur-
hlur. Near US were three or four iovial
young artists. They were in merry
mooa; one of them had that day sold
picture to tourist. We listened to
their banter until, most likely growing
thirsty, they re-entered the inn.
Carrlston had said little since we had
ceen out OF doors. He smoked his cigar
placIdly and gazed up at the skies
with the white moonlight falling on
his strikingly beautiful face-the grace
lul pose into which he fell-he seemed
to be the embodiment of poetry. He
paid no heed to the merry talk of the
artists, which so much amused me-
indeed, d)ubted if he heard their
voices.

Then Carriston, in the most simple
way, told me good deal about himself.
He was an orphan, an only child. He
had already ample means; but Fortune
had still favors in store for him. At
the death of his uncle, now an aged
man, he must succeed to large estate
and baronetcy. The natural, unaf-

Nearing Danger Point.
LEvEE WORKERS GIVE UP

Rivers Are Rising Rapidly at All
Points-snow II Melting Fast In
( Nortbwest and Rainfall Increasing.
Memphis. Tenn, March 22.-To-
night the great food claimed five more
victims. At Marion, Eta Lix and her
four children were trying to make
their way TO the town for shelter, and
while attempting to cross railroad
trestle the strong current overwhelmed
the party, and all perished. The oldest
child was girl aged l6, and the
youngest an infant Of months.
The river is still rising at Memphis,
and the indications are that it will
continue to do so for some time. The
river tonight stands 3e.9 feet, a rise
since morning Of OIL.
The rise is continuing at Cairo, and
heavy rains prevail in the upper and
middle valley. Throughout the entire
Northwest territory, the drainage from
which swells the volume Of water in
the upper Mississippi, these rainfalls
continue. The same conditions prevail
in the territory which feeds the Ohio
and other tributaries, while the heav-
lest rains Of all are descending over the
already submerged Arkansas territory.
On the eastern side Of the river contin-
uous rains are falling. At Memphis
and throughout the district the rainfall
in the last twenty-four hours amounted
TO 1.46 inches, while across the river
at Helena 1t was 2.42 inches. So long
as the heavy rains continue there is
small chance Of cessation Of the over
flow.
The work of rescue and relief goes
forward with unabated zeal. Four or
fve rescue steamers arrived here,
bringing several hundred refugees,
nearly all Of whom are destitute, to be
cared for by the charity of Memphis
people. The relief committee has its
hands full. AS long as the overflow
continues, funds will be needed to re-
lieve the immediate pressing wants of
the food sufferers.
Inasmuch az practically all Of the
sufferers are residents of Arkansas, the
relief committee telegraphed to Cover
nor Jones, of that state, asking his CO.
operation in relieving the distress Of
thousands of people Of his state. The
governor replied that there were no
funds at his disposal. The local relief
committees have sent out an appeal to
the individual citizens Of Arkansas,
Tennessee and Mississippi.

Helena, Ark, March 22.-The river
here is forty-seven feet on the gauge,
which is one and one-tenth feet below
high water. The river at Westover is
six inches higher than ever before
known, and at Old Town, six miles be-
low Westover, the river is three inches
above the highest water mark, and at
Modoc it is six inches higher than ever
before.
Tonight, advices from Modoc are to
the effect that it is impossible to hold
the levee there until morning. The
men in charge of the work have given
up the task, their work having been in
vain, although they have labored vail
antly to hold it. The people who live
in that neighborhood have been warned
Of the impending disaster, and are fee
ing for their lives. The water is go
ing over the top OF the levee in that
vicinity. The steamer Abbott, gov
ernment boat, is now loading at Modoc
with sacks, implements and laborers,
and will go to Old Town, where work
will be prosecuted to strengthen the
levee. Half of the force will be left at
Modoc to further endeavor to save the
levee if possible. The steamer Abbott
passed here for points below with 5000
sacks and large number of laborers.

Washington, March 20.--The session
Of the senate today was brief and une-

presented by Gear Of Iowa, from the
committee on Pacific roads, and was
favorable to the bill for an adjustment
OF the Pacific railroad debts by COM
mission, consisting Of the secretary Of
the interior, secretary Of the treasury
and encouragement. Gear asked that
the bill be made the unfinished busi-
ness Of the senate, with proviso that
it should not be taken up for month.
There was no objection, however, from
Cockrell. and after considerable discus
sion the bill went to the calendar.
There was an objection also to Gears
resolution calling on the attorney-gen-
eral for information as to the foreclo-
sure proceedings against the Pacific
roads. Morgan gave notice that he
would later submit q minority report
Of the bill for a commission.
In the executive session, the report
in favor Of the arbitration treaty was
presented by Senator Davis, as chair
