WAR AND STATE OF BUSINESS.
Uncertainty of the Situation Has At
fected the Trade.

New York, April 25.-If Turkey or
Greece had been wholly buried in the sea
the markets might have been affected less
than by the outbreak of war in Europe.
Like a fire in the heart of Il crowded city,
it raised the question whether a general
contlagration might spring out of it. To
this possibility, and not to the direct in
fiuence of either Turkey or Greece, upon
the worlds money or produce market was
due the excitement in grain and stocks,
AS the unknown is magnitied, American
markets were much more Eighty than the
European, where possibilities a been
discussed n partly discounted for
months. The uncertainty remains and
will affect the movement Of money ana
staples until it disappears, creating a
larger demand for American products at
higher prices, says II. q. Dun & Co.'S, in
its review of the business situation. Sales
Of wool have been largely Offering, re-
ceipts being swelled by arrivals of quan-
titles sold some time 1907; and imports at
Boston for the week are Sc, 600 bales. Fer
the three chief cities sales We're "a, 036, $50

doing scarcely anything, and orders for

better grades of goods. Failures for the

John kennedy, Train Robber, Has
Little round of Defense.

Kansas City, April 23.-Interest in the
trial of John Kennedy, the reputed lead
er in the recent Blue Cut train robber-
les, was quickened today by the appear
ance in the proceedings of a relative of
the notorious James brothers. Follow
ing the testimony of James Flynn, the
cracker-neck farmer who confessed to
completely in the robberies, and who went
upon the witness stand and told every
detail of the two holdups, which he in
siStS were committed by Kennedy, two
men whom he does not know, and has
never seen since, and himself, Miss Mag
gle Ralston was called to the witness
chair.
She comes from the cracker-neck dis
trict, and is a sisteT-in-laW of Frank
James. Miss Ralston is said to have
been a favorite in the eyes of the ac-
cused robber. She testified that a few
days after the last robbery Kennedy toll
her that he had S32, 600. The express COM
pany has claimed all along that but $23,o 600
was secured by the robbers, but there
have been persistent rumors that the
robbers secured q large amount. Miss
Ralston testified that Kennedy had been
a frequent visitor at her home. The last
robbery was committed on Christmas
eve. The day after Christmas Miss Raj
ston said she met Kennedy in 1ndepend-
ence, Mo-. and one of the first things
lie SSilu Il W. S,ot Shi oSoii.
Miss Ralston then asked him, You got
something this time, then?' and Kennedy
answered YES
Kennedy then got into the young wo-
mans carriage and rode with her. Dur
ing their ride he described the robbery
m%inutely, but he did not state directly
that he participated in the adventure,
though he did tell her that the robher
chief bore a striking resemblance TO MINI
self, and that he might be arrested for
the crime. On the Sunday following this
conversation Kennedy visited the Raj
ston home, and it was then that he told
Miss Ralston he had S32 ,000, though he
stated he had won it gambling.
During this testimony Kennedy sat lis
tening defiantly. He frequently declared
that the witness lied.

THE RIVERS ARE RISING AGAIN.
Result of More Rain in the Lower
Delta Country.

Memphis, April 26.-More rain has fall
len and Louisiana levees are being taxed
to their utmost. AT Natchez the river
gauge shows a rise during the last "a
hours of one-tenth of a foot. The levees
are soft and mushy and with a contin-
ued precipitation 1t is feared the en-
banknlents will give way. A telegram
from Clayton, La, states that the Tensas
river has risen over one foot in "a hours,
and this stream is full of heavy drifts.
The backwater from the Biggs crevasse
is showing itself near Idalia, and it will
%innundate many acres of rich land in
that section.
Struggle at New Orleans.
New Orleans, April 26.-The river is still
10 feet above low water, and the fine
stretch of weather has enabled the levee
forces to hold the banks despite the ter
rife strain. The weather has been provi-
Dental, for a few stormy nights would
have meant several crevasses almost to
a certainty. The fight is a costly one, as
can be judged from the fact that last
weeks work on the Carrolton levee, about
one-fifteenth of the city system, cost
$4,000. A number Of weak spots nave
been added to the list, but the levee
boards have gone promptly to work in all
cases and the danger has been bridged
over.
Bottom Near Flooded.
oltullHd, Iowa., Apfll IO.-lle river
has broken over the levees and flooded
the bottoms, carrying several houses
down stream. In some places the water
is above the first story OF the houses. The
Burlington main track is impossible and
hundreds of men are at work attempting
to prevent damage to the other line.-The
situation is critical. The Wabash and
Milwaukee tracks are gone there for a
distance of 200 feet, and the other roads
are tied up. The Rock Island has miles
or track under water. No attempt is be-
ing made to run trains. Tn river is still
rising tonight.
One River Rose Nine Feet.
Maryville, Mo, April 26.-One Hundred
and Two river rose nine feet during the
night, and is now nearly a mile and a
half wide, flooding a large number of
farms. Traffic through here on the Bur-
lington and Wabash railroads is suspend
ed, three miles of the Burlington's track
and about a mile of the Wabash track be-
ing washed out near here. -

PROGRAM OF DEMOCRATIC CHIEFS.
Senators Are Opposed to Long Della:
on the Tariff Fill.

on the Tariff Bill.
Washington, April 22.-There has been
some discussion of the probable program
of the democratic members of the finance
committed with reference to the tariff
bill, and it is learned that while their
plans are not definitely matured, they in
tend to have reasonable consideration of
the bill in committee, and they believe
they will have the support of Senator
Jones of Nevada upon my fair PROPOSE,
ton they nay submit. The democrats
do not want extended consideration in
committee, but desire to offer some
amendments after they see the bill, the
adoption of which they now consider
they would be more likely 10 secure in
committee than in open senate. 1t is said
IN the senate that the democratic plan
is not to delay the bill any longer than
is necessary, but that any senator desir-
ing to discuss it shall LAY an opportu-
nifty to do so, and such record votes as
they think necessary VIII be made. This
policy will be pursued to the end. In
this connection it may be stated that
the democrats of the senate do not APP
prove Of the policy of Mr.. Bailey and
his fellow democrats in the house.
The republican members of the finance
committee of the senate have reached
an agreement either to strike out the
retroactive provision of the Dingley tariff
bill or SO to amend it as to pave the way
for its being stricken out in conference,
and have SO notified the democratic mem
hers of the committee. The democrats
nave agreed, in view of his promise, not
to press the Vest resolution on the sub
jeet of Secretary Cages recent circular,
1t is also learned that the rates in the
metal schedule have been made close to
the present law, and the same is said of
the cotton schedule. The chemical sched-
ule is understood to be about completed.
Many changes in it in the direction of
reductions have been made.
