NEW ORLEANS, La, April I1.-Evcrv-
where the river is rising and the flood
IS bearing harder on the levees.
twenty thousand men are at work
strengthening the barriers. Anv tinv
rivulet trickling through the broad
embankments is cause for a signal of
alarm, and rapidly relief train re-
spends to the call, hurriedly lumber
oulwark is built and earth-filled sacks
packed in behind. So far each effort
Is met with success, but the water is
growing greater in volume and might
Ter in force and the alarms coming
with more frequency and it is doubtful
II the system can prevail against the
strain which has just begun and will
continue for at least a week.
The flood Is already greater than
ever known before, but each dav's rec
ord will be broken for at least week
and the levees are being built higher
to stand the water that is sure to
come. Here in the city, despite the
carefully built and solid wall around
1T, the engineers have advised increas-
ing the bulwarks and Mayor Flower
has ordered all the city forces to be in
readiness to aid the levee board " .se

Ohio Circuit Court Refuses to Interfere
In tho Arbuckle-suEar Trust Fight.
TOLEDO, Ohio, April lin the Ar
buckle -Woolson injunction suit the
circuit court overruled plaintiffs mo-
tion for a new trial and granted fifty
days in which to file bill of excep-
tions. The common pleas court some
time since dissolved the Injunction
to restrain defense from cutting
prices of coffee. The court reviewed
the facts and found that, in all proba-
bility, the American Sugar Refining
company, or sugar trust, bought the
stock of the Woolson company for the
purpose of retaliating against the Ar
buckles for attempting to enter the
sugar business. The court also finds
that the company is being run in the
interest of the sugar trust, and not
for the benefit of the Woolson
company; that the declines in
coffee were made for the purpose
of forcing losses on Arbuckle Bros.
and driving them out of the sugar
business. But the court holds that the
plaintiffs are not prosecuting the case
in good faith for the interest of the
Woolson Spice company, but to protect
their greater interest as Arbuekle
Bros, coffee roasters, and, therefore,
though an ordinary stoclxholder might
have relief, the plaintiff cannot.

Millions Lost on Cotton,

sr. LOUIS, No, April 1.-THE Post
Dispatch to-day. in leading article
on the flood throughout the cotton
belt, says: ''St. Louis factors saw
enormous damage has been done to
cotton planting interests in the
South as result of the flood
in Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana
and portion of Southeastern Mis-
souri, 1t is estimated on a con-
servative basis that the inun-
dated territory along the Mississippi
river produces an annual average of
1,5Oo,ooo bales of the highest grade
cotton. From present indications the
average output will be materially de-
creased by the ravages of the waters;
in fact, in many localities, it is doubt

University of Illinois Deeply Involved in
the Chicago Bank Failure.

the Chicago Bank Failure.
CHICAGO, April lie. E. Churchill,
cashier of the suspended Globe Savings
bank, for whose arrest a warrant on a
charge of embezzlement was sworn out
yesterday, surrendered himself to-day
and furnished bonde for his appear
ance. Vice President Averill surren-
dered himself and was Immediately re-
leased on bonds. President Spalding
is not in the city, but in letter writ
ten to friend he says he will return
Monday. In the meantime, officers
are looking for him.
Developments have brought out the
fact that far greater amount of Uni
versity of Illinois funds are involved
in the suspension of the bank than has
been supposed. Two years ago the
state legislature appropriated S423, 900,
OF which, according to the state laws,
enough was to be drawn out monthly
to meet the current expenses of the
university. 1t appears, however, that,
in consideration of 215 per cent inter
est on the funds, the university trus-
tees allowed Treasurer Spaldinp to
withdraw the whole sum from the
treasury. This is admitted bv MEM
bers of the board. Thus not only are
S4OO, 900 worth of school bonds miss
ing, but S:23, 900 in cash is tied up. a
total of SS23, 900.
