WANT AT THE DOOR
Of Flood Sufferers.

GREENVILLE, Miss, April 8.-The
condition Of affairs in this section of
Mississippi continues serious. Want is
today at the door Of many. The Yazoo
delta embraces ten counties, with pop
ulation of nearly 100000, the greater
percentage of whom are laborers who
depend for bread on rations issued
weekly by the planters and local mer-
chants. The planter and merchant, in
turn, secure advancements from money
centers on their paper, based on the
growing crops, after having carried the
laborer until the crops have been plant
ed. The inundation occasions a with
holding of credit from the country,
thus cutting it's most vital cord.
The promptness with which the fed
in the condition of the inhabitants of
the inundated districts has brought a
strong ray Of hope into most gloomy
situation. The secretary of war has
kept himself in telegraphic commune
cation with the governor of Mississippi,
seeking information concerning the
needs of the flooded districts. Gov.
McLaurin, in turn, has kept in tele-
graphic communication with the repre-
sentative men Of the delta, and yester-
day he was advised that assistance was
needed. Today's adIices give a more
extended report Of the prevailing con-
dition. Many of the leading planters
and business men Of the section held
council and sent the following dispatch
to the governor, which was by him
sent to Gen. Alger, secretary of war
Further investigation into the effect Of the
overflow shows that Washington county is
practically entirely overfowed. The popula-
tion OF the county is about 90, 600. The means
of all of them are about exhausted and their
credit destroyed by the overflow. Thirty
days will probably elapse before 1t can be de-
termined whether a crop be made. If
none can be made. the destitution will be
incalculable. In the meantime we must ap-
peal to the government for aid during this
period Of waiting, in caring for these people.
Only actual necessities are desired, and
such supplies be distributed without
waste through the government forces stationed
at this point. We estimate 1t will require
not less than $135, 900 worth Of supplies for
this purpose during the ensuing thirty days
and we earnestly request your aid in securing
it.

Fire Fatal.
DEATH LIST IS FIVE.
Blaze Was One of the Worst
the South Has Ever
Known.
IT EXCEEDS A MILLION.
Property Destruction Will
Not Fall Below the Seven
Figure Limit.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 8.-Never
before in the history of Knoxville has
the city suffered such a loss, both Of
life and property, by fire as it did to-
day. The very heart of the city, in
Guiding some of the largest whole
sale and retail business houses in the
South, was destroyed The loss is va
riously estimated at from 81 ,OO0, 900 to
$1,5O0,000, with about 60 per cent Of in
surance. The fire was discovered about
o'clock a. m. in the wholesale grocery
store of the McNulty Grocery compa-
ny, by porter of the Knox hotel
which adjoins the grocery. A general
alarm was turned in, and all the local
fire companies were soon on thee scene.
Their efforts proved futile, however,
and the flames spread rapidly.
The loss of life Is uncertain, as the
Knox hotel register on which fifty-six
names were written, was burned. The
proprietor Of the hotel says that he
had i've or six guests who have not
put in an appearance. A E. Weeks. Of
Locke, N. Y, drummer for a Roches-
ter stamping company, is known to
have perished in the flames. r. w.
Hopkins, a st. Louis drummer, was
last seen In the burning building in a
suffocating condition.
The last man to- leave the burning
hotel says that he is positive that five
or six persons We're burned. He ran
over three of four men in the hall
ways, who were suffccated
The list Of the dead so Iar reported is
as follows:

REFUGEES AT RosEDALE.
POverty-Striclken Band of Sufferers
on Hand for Aid.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April S.-Telegrams re-
ceived tonight from the flood area of the
Mississippi delta report the situation un-
changed. A heavy rain, accompanied by a
strong northwest wind has prevailed all the
afternoon. Information from the Flower lake
creyasse says the break is 1,7OO feet wide.
The town Of Lulu is entirely shut out, except
by telegraph. Today was ration day for the
destitute refugees at Rosedale, and a more
poverty stricken band of negroes than those
gathered at the place Of distribution would
be hard to picture. Only those who were
known to be actually in need were supplied.
The news had become current among the
negroes that thu government had sent ra-
tions, and many who were yet able to take
care Of themselves were grievously disap-
pointed. at not finding their names on the
relief roll. stf
AT Helena the river has fallen two. seet and
eleven inches since the levee gave way on
Sunday. The back water in the southern
part of the city is at a stand. Many flood
refugees are being taken to Helena, and the
number in that city will now probably reach
5000 The relief committee is doing good
work. The river is falling at all points be-
tween Cairo and Helena.

Mr.. BRYAN INJURED.
Platform Caved In.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, April g.
Hon. W. J. Bryan was injured here
this afternoon by the eaving-ln of
the piazza from which he was speak,

precipttated about twenty feet to the
ground and many of them were In
jured, but none, fatally. Mr.. Bryan
was picked up unconscious and re-
moved to physician's Office where an
examination revealed that he had re-
ceived no injuries OF a serious charac-
ter. It was deemed best, howevr, t,
abandon the reception, which was to
have been given him this evening.
Mr.. Bryan arrived here at 4:50 y. M,
and was greeted at the station by
several hundred people. AT $3.50 he ad-

bill, Mr.. Nelson said, he regarded u

to help debtors, as the subject Of chier
Importance before congress. He hoped
congress would not adjourn before
passing some bankruptcy bill. He
even said he would be willing to take
the harsh Torrey bill rather than see
all legislation fail.
Mr.. Hoar defended the Torrey bill
against Mr.. Nelson's charges of harsh
ness He said 100000 debtors were
awaiting the relief of this humane bill.
The Nelson substitute Mr.. Hoar re-
garded as impracticable. Mr.. Lindsay,

jumped from the burning building, tells
thrilling story of his escape He
started out with only his night shirt
on and had that torn off before he
reached the street. His roommate, w.

saved two shirts The T. P. A. mem
bers Of the local posts took care of all

to the bank building. u. l. Johnson, a
railroad baggage master, came down
from the fifth story, hand over hand
on the waterpipes, before the fire
engines arrived. Only one Of the guests
saved any of his effects.
When the firemen thought all the in
mates of the hotel had escaped a wom-
an with an infant in her arms rushed
to a rear window and screamed for
help. A net was quickly stretched and
the woman asked to drop the child out,
but as the smoke almost choked her,
she told them if one had to die both
would die. The woman was finally
rescued by the firemen.
From the hotel building, which is
five stories high, the fire spread east
and west A stiff wind made the
flames very ugly and the fire depart
ment was inadequate. In the whole
sale hardware house of w. w. Wood
ruff & Co. a dynamite explosion occur
red, and scores of people were hurt by
flying bricks and glass. 1t became
necessary, at last, to have the walls Of
one building blown down by cannon to
stop the mad career of the fire. A
mountain howitzer, of the Knoxville
Legion, was called into play, and a
load of canister did the work, at the
same time tearing up some residences
in a different part of the city.
The city authorities, realizing that
the fire department was unable to con-
quer the flames, telegraphed to Chatta-

MIR. DUNCAN EATEN.
Tale of Cannfbalism From the New
Hebrides islands

VICTORIA, 5. c., April s-Australian ad-
vices state that S. Duncan, a white trader.
who reached Sydney from South Africa last
year, met his death in a very painful way
while trading with natives of New Hebrides.
He was tied up to tree for three days being
kept alive and forcibly stuffed with food.
He was then cut down, killed and eaten wom-
en- even joining joyfully in the cannibalistic
feast. There was a great assemblage from
the various groups Of islanders. Duncan. it
appears, was a single man, about thirty-two
his friends at Sydney say he would not draw
his revolver on any account. From those
who know the New Hebrides, has been COL
lected the information that the natives are
very treacherous, they having on several oc-
casions dealt murderously with European yes
sells.

HALSTAD Mimi, April 8.-The Red
TlVer T mas risen one inch since o'clock
last evening at this point The ice
yesterday commenced to move down
stream. Weather still continues cold
and cloudy. The track Of the Great
Northern short distance south of
here, Is floating by the side Of the grade
and there cannot be communication by
rail for long time.
PEMBINA, N D., April S.-The
water has been rising one and a half
inches an hour for the past forty-eight
hours and the ice has commenced to
break. The Pembina river at Neche is
ABOUT overfiowing it's banks. Frosts at
night and cold days keep the smaller
creeks from adding very much as vet
to the flow. All persons in this whole
section living in small houses and on
low places, are leaving for higher
ground. The indications are now that
1T will be the greatest flood in twenty
years. The Pembina river, about fif-
teen miles west of here, rose ten feet
last night and that water will reach
here by tonight.
ST. Vincent, Mimi, April S-No
rains have fallen this spring and local
streams are falling. The prairie was
never as dry as now in any previous
year at this date. Farmers are pre-
pairing to sow. The river ice has
parted in many places and moved The
river has risen thirty-nine inches in
the past twenty-four hours, but is well
down IN it's banks. Unless caused by
water from above, there will be no flood
here.
WINNIPEG. Man, April 8.-The Red

AI1GER ACTS PROMPTLY
In AfOrdtng Relief to the Mfssis-
sippi Flood Sufferers.


WASHINGTON, ApiI S.-Secretary AIger is
pushing forward the work Of relief for the
flood sufferers, and within few days the dis
bursement of the rations, provided for by con-
gress, will begin. Today the secretary was
in consultation with Col. Gillespie president
of the Mississippi river commission, who was
summoned here by telegraph by the secre-
tary for the purpose of consultation. Col
Gillespie has Just returned from a tour of
inspection along the flooded district Of the
Mississippi and was therefore able to give
the secretary a fair idea of the needs of
the situation.
1t is felt by the engineer officers that with
the appropriation of s2G0, 900 already placed at
their disposal by congress they will be able
to restore the broken levees and get the river
banks into normal shape wherever they are
protected by the levees constructed by the
national government and are not state works.
Already Capt Fitch at Memphis has been
ordered to draw upon the appropriation to
the extent of 1000 for the repairs neces-
sary in his district, which lies up the river
from Memphis.
