The weather bureau also publishes II
map of the country flooded on April 10,

the Mississippi river through the Yazoo
ut point just north of Nicksburg. 1t
is expected that this flood will pass into
the Mississippi between the mouth of the
Gazoo and Alilliken's landing, few
miles to the north. The gradually in
creasing strain expected during the next
few days on the Louisiana side opposite
the place where the Yazoo floods return
to the Mississippi, render possible that
the lcvees may break and the flood pour
through into northeastern Louisiana, in
which case it is possible that much, if
not all of the area in Louisiana formerly
covered by floods will be flooded again
this year. Heroic work is now being
done on the levccs of northern Louisiana
ana it is hoped that they will be held
intact "

Suggestions AdOpted.

Washington, April 11.-Secretary Alccr
today received a telegram from Lieut..
Rowan of the Eighteenth infantry. now
at Memphis in charge of one of the re-
lief districts in the inundated country,
recommending that subsistence be given
to those who are in need in their own dis.
tricts. instead of permitting them to CON
gregate in the other districts.
he advises this method of giving RI
tons for the reason that as the waters
subsldc the labor of the refugees will be
required for repairing levees, whereas if
they are away from their own districts
1t might be difficult to assemble them
again for such work as is necessary to
be done. This would cause delay and
the trouble of transporting them to places
where they will be needed.

A Nntter of Amor Plate.

Washington. April 1l.-Secretary Long
has referred to congress all the bids and
letters received by him touching the
armor question. The secrctary's commu-
ncations say that the answer TO the adj
vcrtised proposals for furnishing the ar
NOR required for battleships 7, 3 and
9. the Illinois, the Alabama and the
Wisconsin, was $500 per ton. The ILL
nos Steel company made bid in the
form Of two general propositions, neither
of which the department feels it has any
authority to consider with view to ac-
ccpiancc or rejection. Two other firms
made answers, but these were mere
statement of reasons why bids are not
submitted The work of construction is
now in progress, and as it will be only
II few months before the ship builders
will require the arinor to carry on their
work. properly furnishing the armor may
subject the government TO heavy expense
on several accounts, and il is important
that steps should be taken Immediately
to procure the armor. He recommends
that authority he given the department to
advertise again for proposals and TO make
contracts for armOr ut a price not cX-
cccding $500 per ton.

SEAL FISHERIES DISPUTED.
Indications Tint Diplomatic Issue
I Has Become Grave

Washington, April 1.-THE recent ap-
polntmont of cX-Sccrctary Foster and
Assistant Secretary Ilamlin to assist in
the negotiations with Great Britain re-
speeding the seal fisheries, is Indicative
that diplomatic issue has assumed grave
Importance and that an early. earnest eff
fort Is 30 he made to end the present
state of affairs or to place the subject
on such a footing before the beginning of
the approaching season as will prevent
It's becoming more serious. The diplo-
matte correspondence of the past year
makes II evident that Il severe strain was
placed upon the patience of the officials
of both the United States and Great
Britain. The trouble appears to have
begun principally through the refusal of
the British authorities to renew last year
the regular agreement requiring British
vessels going into the sealing waters to
place .hcir fire arms under seal to give
effect TO the Paris regulation prohibiting
The use OF such weapons in killing seals
The British government having refused to
seal up their arms, the United States
government adopted the plan of making
search of every sealing vessel in the
Rehring sea. The British government
protested, claiming their visits were
therehy subjected to unnecessary and
most vcNatiouS detention. Secretary
Olney on the other hand justified the
course of .hc revenue officers hy pointing
out that Nil OF the seized vessels were
convicted in British courts. He also gave
some startling figures to show the need
oi restrictive regulations which he invited
The British government to accept. Sccrr-
iary Olney asserted that if the killing
was TO 90 on. the total destruction of the
seals would be- accomplished in the course
al about two more seasons. Efforts were
made 10 devise some way of insuring the
seal against the Use of fire arms by
