The visitors got chance 10 see mil

The arrival Of the official portion of
the procession at the tomb was the sig

patriotic cheering from the $4,000 people

AT THE TOMB.
BY 8 o'clock vast crowds had arrived
at the tomb and those who were fortu-
nate enough to possess tickets emitting
them 10 seats on the stand took their
places in the gaily desked structures and
prepared for the long wait that was to
ensue before the arrival of the notables
and military pageant. The less fortu-
nate ones selected standing places from
which they could see what occurred.
The police were early on hand and es-
tablished a line around the grand stand
and the monument and along the road
way that was 10 be traversed by the
troops. The elaborate preparations which
had been made for handling the crowd
bore good fruit. There was compare
lively littlec onfusion and those who de-
sired to reach their places on the official
stands had no difficulty in doing so.

followed by the others who were 10 par

The president was loudly cheered, as
was also ex-President Cleveland. who
appeared with ex-Secretary Tracey.
Mr.. Cleveland and President McKin-

as they met. The two then conversed
for moment. While waiting for the
ceremonies on the stand to commence,
President Mckinley, Vice President

Hunt LeVee
Near Warsaw, III. Covering an
Area
SEVEN BY Il MILES.
People Flee to the High Ground
for Protection.
VEN BY II MILES.
The Mississippi is IA Miles
Wide at Gregory, Mo.

st. Louis, April 28.-Points on the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers above
here report serious condition of affairs
the water having risen to a dangerous
height. Thousands of acres of farm
land on both the Illinois and Missouri
sides of the Mississippi river have been
flooded and stock and crops destroyed.
According to the weather bureau both
rivers will continue to rise.
A special to the Republic from Gre
CORY, No. says:
The Hunt levee, which protected the
Hunt drainage district on the Illinois
side below Warsaw, broke yesterday,
sending the Missouri over one of the
most fertile regions in the valley. The
widest excitement prevailed for fully
20, 600 acres of land and hundreds of
homes will be inundated in a few hours.
A country IA by miles will be covered.
The break was discovered by a little
child of Sam Hess, whose home stands
at the edge of the creYasse. He and
John Watershade at once gave the
alarm along the levee, the latter leav-
ing his own stock to warn the neigh
bors.
Couriers were sent on horseback to
the houses back in the district and a
scene Of disorder and fright was the
result.
1t is feared that some have been
caught and surrounded by the flood The
levee was covered with crowd of far
n1ers and their wives, nurrying their
children and their live stock to places of
safety. Littess of pigs, poultry, COWS
and horses were crowded on the narrow
embankment, trying to reach towns on
the hills
Many are now camped out on the high
places with absolutely nothing left.
Poverty and untold sufferings must in
evitably follow this disaster.
Levee Commissioner George Schaffer,
telegraphed to Keokuk, Ia, for aid.
Barges of sand bags were Immediately
forwarded.
The crevasse is rapidly widening and
is nearly 300 feet wide. The workmen
have had to cut through willows and a
thick growth of trees to float the bar
ges up to the leVees.
The break may be repaired but in the
meantime the whole district will have
been flooded. Efforts are being made
to keep the ends of the levee from being
further broken. This is almost impos-
stble, for the water is running through
the levee at a terrific rate and it is IN
safe for man to apr roach it.
The crest of the flood mas doubtless
been reached, but the worst has just be-
gun in the Illinois bottoms. The Gre
vase will make the Mississippi IA miles
wide at this point.

REPAIR OF THE LEvEES.
Serious Problem Which Now Con
fronts the People of the South.

Washington, April 28.-Congressman
Catchings and Patrick Henry of Vtcks-
burg, Miss, returned from New York
today, whittier they had gone to nave
an interview with Col Gillespie of the
Mississippi river commission, in regard
to the work which will be necessary in
repairing the levees of the Mississippi
when the present flood has subsided.
They impressed upon Col. Gillespie the
fact that the breaks which have taken
place in the 1evees since the present
flood began will have to be closed before
the June rise, or crops which will
be put in after the high water now in
the river has gone down will be ruined
through lack of proper protection when
the rise occurs.
There are between Cairo and the
mouth of the river about 1900 miles of
levees, partlv the work of the general
government and partly that of private
enterprise and subscription. The aver
age height of these IeVees below Vicks-
burg is about 10 feet of those between
Vicksburg and Cairo about u feet. The
height of all leVees along the entire
river should be at least IA feet. A foot
or two higher than that even would but
add to the general security of the people
in the valley. The cost of such eleVa-
tions is estimated at between $40, 900, 900
and $12, 900, 000 and the work, with the
money promptly forthcoming, could, it
is said, be done in a year.
An anti-leVee sentiment is being ex-
plotted in the Mississippi river valley
and promises to become a factor before
congress when the river Improvement
problem is taken up next winter.
