GRAND FORKS, N D., April IL
The government steamer Ogemah was
sunk In the Red river seventeen miles
north of here this forenoon. The boat
was sent out yesterday afternoon to
furnish relief to the settlers who had
been driven from their homes by the
flood and were in imminent danger of
being drowned and of losing all their
belongings. The boat reached a point
ten miles from here last night and was
compelled to tie up on account of the
ice, which caused the trouble An
early start was made this morning. and
in number of instances families were
found housed in second stories of
houses, and stock occupied barn roofs
and straw stacks. They were supplied
with boats, and when told that the
waiter was receding claimed that they
needed no help. This was a general re-
ply, and the boat made it's way down
stream. When opposite the Hoyt ele-
vator huge piece of ice struck the
boat, and the cook came running to
the upper deck shouting that the boat
was sinking. Her story was not cred
tied until the front started to settle in
the water. The boat was mid-stream
in water sixty feet deep, and with rare
presence Of mind Pilot Hayes had the
engines reversed and backed the
steamer into the bank, where it sank
amidst trees, in twelve feet of water
There were eighteen persons aboard

zens, Maj. w A Jones, of st. Paul, and

short distance away. Considerable
of the boat Is out of water, but no
effert will be made to repair it until
the water goes down. 1t sank within
few yards of farmhouse The Oge-
nah was built for government work
about seven years ago, and did consid-
cradle work each year In dredging
the river. Maj. Jones and the crew
continued the relief work, and the
others made their way home They re-
port an ice gorge several miles long Just
below where the boat sank, and the
towns below that are sure to experience
much trouble. The steamer Grand
Forks was sent down this afternoon
with fuel and supplies to relieve any
suffering much of which is reported
from the other side of the big gorge.
The situation here is relieved by a fall
of five inches in the river during the
night All day 1t was stationary, and
few inches more of a rise may follow
but it has practically reached the high
est point, unless something strange oc-
ours. Hundreds of visitors visited the
city today to see the waters.

CALLS IT A PLOT.
Hunter Talks of the Charge
Against Him.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 11.-This
has been day Of excitement in legis-
lative circles on account of the charges
of bribery made in the senatorial con-
test yesterday. Hunters managers
say tonight that the next few DAYS
will lay bare a plot to ruin him and
that high and low politicians will go
up in the explosion. The story of
Gaines is almost unanimously discred-
tied here. 1t is believed by some that
Gaines had several meetings with Will
son and Franks, but sentiment is d.
vided as to their motives. Gaines
friends admit he has exploited himself
unenviably.
A conservative man on the Blackburn
side said tonight: THE only effect Of
the bribery story will be to solidifv
the Hunter forces. What we have to
fear now is that the gold Democrats
will think it a part Of a scheme of the
Blackburn people to prevent an election
and that they will indirectly aid Hun
ter by making a quorum"

was at Koniskos, a. village near Ka-

had a personal interview with Crown
Prince Constantine this afternoon. The
prince talked freely of the situation
now confronting the people. He said
Il am fully prepared to make war when
1t becomes necessary. My troops are
in excellent condition and the warlike
spirit prevails in the soul of every man
under arms. If the Turkish army
should make an attempt to cross the
frontier and attack US, l should act
promptly 1 shall stand by the de-
cision whatever may happen, but
shall not do anything to force the
crisis.
I'm the face of any popular demon
stratiOn favorable to a declaration of
war, l am convinced that my soldiers
would prove true to their allegiance
and would obey me no matter what
influence was brought to bear on them.
Therefore, | do not fear any hasty
action on their part without first con-
sidering my orders. The incursion into
Turkish territory by several rebel bands
of armed Greeks was wholly unauthor-
lied by me, and absolutely against my
policy and my instructions from the
king. Their attack upon the Moslems
Will Dy no means be USED as an excuse
to begin war, and l shall do my utmost
t. prevent a repetition of such a vio-
lation of the neutrality laws. The

rebels will not be occupied by the

vaders in any way.

any aggressive action, unless forced
to, no matter how long it may be- until

LONDON, April 1.-THE Daily News
will publish the following dispatch from
its Larissa correspondent tomorrow,
describing the scene at the insurgent
camp near Kalabaka, on the eve of
the invasion: THE encampment is in
the great forest of Verenvji close to
the frontier. We spent the night in the
open air, lying around camp fires. The
morning dawned clear and the azure
sky gave a beautiful setting to a never
forgotten spectacle.
1.-THE whole corps was drawn up in
military orders, the Italians, by courte-
sy, occupying the center. Each insur-
gent was clad in the Hetairia uniform
and each man was armed with a new
Gras rife, a revolver, a bayOnet and
carried a small military knapsack
1.-THE two commanders, ex-officers Of
the Greek army, were on horseback in
front Of their men. Two priests were
present and when square was formed
they assisted the monk who performed
mass, the chief feature of which was a
prayer for the liberation Of "Our broth
ers in Crete. Macedonia and Epirus."
The object of the invaders was to
make their way through the mountain
passes and to cut off all communication
between Macedonia and Epirus Once
we'll intrenched in the mountain ranges
it would take a whole army corps to
dislodge them. The invaders fred a
