A sNAG FOR STUART.
JuJian Demans a Share of the Money
THAT Will Accrue From Pictures.

Julian Demans a Share of the Money
That VIII Accrue From Pictures.
Carson. New. March 16.-Dan Stuart
is ND against another snag IN the per-
son of Martin Julian, who has de-
manded one-third of the receipts that
nav come to Stuart from exhibiting
the photographs of the fight. At the
time of the signing Of the articles OF
agreement Julian asked for a share OF
tha money that would accrue from
this. and he was told by Stuart that
if anv bids were made for the right to
take the pictures of the fight, Julian
would be given a chance to be in on
the returns. No bids have been MADE,
however, as Stuart has been intending
to take the photographs with a ma
chine which belongs to him for the
most part Julian told Stuart he
wanted the receipts from the eXhlbl-
ton of photographs to be divided lIFo
three equal portions, one to t1tzslm-
mons and Julian and the remaining
third to Corbett. Julian said that II
his demand was not granted he would
refuse to fight before the camera, al
though he was willing to allow Fitz-
simmons to fight for the purse II the
camera is taken from the arena. The
pictures are considered by Stuart his
one chance of getting back some OF the
money he has advanced on the light
ers in the last three years, and he is
much worried over the demand made
by Julian.
Both of the pugihsts have done the
last work they will do before the fight,
with the exception of little road work
for the purpose of keeping their wind
in good condition. Both of them are
in the finest kind Of shape.

New York, March % - The long
overdue American clipper ship L. L.
Cakes. which left Hong Kong on July
/ with a general cargo for tbis port,
and which had been given up as lost,
was lowed into port by the British
tank steamer Kasbek, Capt Muir,
which picked her up last Thursday.
The crew were sick with scurvy and
six had died. Saturday night, March
10, blue lights were seen, and Capt.
Muir ordered the steamers course
altered and the steamer bore up for
the distress signals. At midnight she
was close alongside the ship. and
Chief Officer HelShem and three sea-
men at once put off in the Kasbek's
yawl. and within speaking distance
heard a tale of suffering and sickness
from those on board the ship such as
made them Shudder. Capt. Reed. or
the Cakes, reported that when about
six days out in the China sea ter
rifle typhoon was encountered, lasting
several days, during which the fore
and main topmastS were sprung. The
vessel was obliged to run before the
gale, which had no sooner blown itself
out than it was followed by second
typhoon. which blew with great fury
for twenty four days. The vessel had
then got we'll out into the North Pa
cific. ard so far off her course that
Capt. Reed decided to shape his course
via Cape Horn rather than by the
Cape of Good Hope hoping thereby to
make better time. In fact, nothing
but light battling airs and calms were
experienced until Cape Horn was
rounded, 167 days out. In the mean
time the Chinese cook had been taken
down with a severe cold and died on
Nov. IL Afterward a seaman named
Thomas King was taken down with
what appeared to be scurvy, and died
Dec. 20. In quick succession Seamen
Thomas Olson was taken i'll and died
Jan. u; Thomas Judge was taken Ill
with cancer of the stomach, and later
Mate Stephen G. Bunker showed
symptoms of scIrvy. The latter died
Feb 4, and was quickly followed by
George King, an old man, who died an
the 9th. On the 18th Judge succumbed,
making six in ALL One by one the
other sailors were obliged to quit work
until, Oh March 1, nobody was left eX-
cept the second and third mates, the
captain and his wife. The provisions
were running short, although supply
had been obtained on Jan. II from the
American ship Gov. Robe, from New
York for Melbourne, when off the
Island of Trinidad, and the crew were
left without other than the barest ne
cessities A sharp look was kept for
passing vessels, but nothing was seen
until the kaSbek hove in sight.

Chicago, March 22.-Raging waters
continue to roll on in their work of
ruin. Death rides OH the food and the
end is not in sight. Dams and levees
are crushed aside, lives are taken,
crops are swept away, stock is
drowned, homes and shelters are crum-
bling. trees are torn out by the roots,
railroad tracks are submerged, bridges
90 cut in the torrent and despair set
ties down with the uncomfortable
waters. All this is in. the country dis
tricts. In towns the situation grows
more alarming day by day. Illinois is
suffering now. At Carmi Jacob NegIer
was drowned in the backwaters of the
Little Wabash. The heaviest if the
waters in the South is bad, but how
appalling can only be guessed, as in
most instances the lives have been
lost in out of the way districts, where
ignorance and terror eXaggerate the
disasters, and whence information is
unreliable and very hard to obtain.
Serious Breaks in the Levees.
Memphis Tenn, March 22.-For the
0LSC lille Ill Ilduy WCchS the 1h1So1S-
sippi river is reported falling at Mem
phis, the gauge reading 81 feet as
against 37.1 &C o'clock in the morn
ing. Several breaks in the levee are
known to have occurred between Osce-
ola. Ark, and Memphis, and the fall
of the river here is attributed to these
crevasses. The break at Sans Souci is
widening and the mad rush of the
waters through the opening can be
heard for miles. Three additional
breaks, all near Sans SOuci, are re-
ported, and the suffering of the people
in Eastern Arkansas will surely be
greatly intensified. The town of
Marion, Ark, is in a bad condition.
All the houses are surrounded by wa
ter and the whole face of the earth is
submerged except here and there
small Indian mound remains above the
water There are many breaks in the
levee, or at least many places where
the water is running over the leyee
like a mill race.

THE FLOOD AT MEMPHIS.
Terrible Destruction Among the
Homeless Sufferers.

Terrible Destruction Among the
Homeless Sufferers.
Memphis, Tenn, March 16.-The r1v-
er has broken all records, the gauge
registering 1854 feet. The rise contin-
ues at Cairo, New Orleans and all in
termediate points. The first serious
break in the leyee system occurred
Saturday near Nodena, Ark, fifty
miles above Memphis. The river is
raging through the crevasse at a ter
rife rate. The break is the more ter
rlble because loss of life will surely
occur from it. Indeed the most san
guine of thise who know of the con-
ditions there do not dare to hope that
all the people in the lowlands escaped
from the flood when it came upon
them. The levee which gave way is
in front of Mississippi county and it is
thought the water will almost cover
the county. Up and down the river
very few signs of life are manifested
on any of the plantations and it is
certain that nearly all the stock has
persisted.

ROCHESTER, lie rain VI NOSIClddJ
brought the streams up very rapidly.
Bear creek rose two feet in half an
hour An ice gorge has been formed
Just below Fifth street bridge and an
other one near the WaterWOrkS station
and much apprehension is felt for the
safety of the frail Fifth street bridge.
Winona-The river registers 5 feet
inches. This is q rise of 1 foot and 8
inches in twenty-seyen hours, and the
water is still rising.
New Paynesville-Th town is flood
ed by the melting snow. The draining
bitches are either all filled up or frozen
and the backWater has nearly cut off
the residence part of town from the
business part. In a score of barns the
horses are standing in water from
to inches deep.
North Dakota.
Yankton = The ice in the Missouri
river has begun going out. 1t moved
very slowly and gorged several times
after starting. 1t is now gorger above
and below the city. 1t is impossible at
present to tell the strength of the
gorges, but it is said if they prove
strong a great deal Of damage is GER
tain. The James river is now bank
full and the ice is solid.
wn-Commencing with last
Tuesday the snow has continued to
melt, and now nearly one-half of it is
gone There is considerable water in
the river channel now, but it has not
started to flow as yet. When it does
it is feared that it will break through
the railroad enbankment. Many
families are moving.
Vermillion - Three wagon bridges
went out to-day. Half the piles in the
railroad bridge west of the city were
knocked out big ice gorge has
formed on the Missouri south of the
city. A terrible flood can only be
ayerted by the speedy clearing Of the
ice from the river.
Huron - SO rapidly has the snow
melted that the water in the James
river, Cain, Pearl, Shut and other
creeks has risen nearly to their banks.
Many farmers along the river have
removed their sheds and stock to high
er ground Wagon bridges are in
danger.
Wisconsin.
Milwaukee - An ice jam at Hum
boldt, on Milwaukee river, six miles
above the city. threatened to cause a
disastrous flood. The jam was broken
with dynamite and the great mass Of
ice swept down the river, carrying
with 1t summer houses, boat houses,
fences and other property. 1t is now
lodged against the piers of North ave-
Eue bridge. an iron structure 200 feet
long and sixty feet high, and the strue-
ture is in imminent danger.
Spring Valley An ice dam was
formed at the railroad bridge in the
village. but was blown by dynamite be-
fore much damage was done. The
bridge was badly wrecked.
la Crosse-The water is falling slow
" in this vicinity, but is still high. The
Burlington bridge over the La Crosse
river will be hard to rebuild until the
ice stops running and tho water sub
sides. The Southern Minnesota is
hopelessly tied up.
Fond du Lac-The ice gorge which
formed ut the Northwestern railroad
bridge has broken and the waters are
receding. Streets in the low districts
are still inundated. The damage is es-
timated at 100000.
