ON ITS LAST LEGS.

PASSENGER Pool Between St. Paul and
Chicago Likely to Go to Ptecss.
CHICAGO, March 1.-THE Tribune
says: The Chicago-St. Paul passenger
pool is on it's last legs. It was organ
lied two years ago for the purpose Of
securing an equitable division OF the
passenger traffic between Chicago and
St. Paul and Minneapolis, but no divi-
sion of business has been made since
the pool was organized, aid compete
ton has been as active as before. The
strong lines have carried the bulk Of
the traffic at the expense Of the weak
lines. Threats to withdraw from the
pool by the lines which failed to carry
the percentage allotted to them, caused
a meeting of passenger officials Of in.
terested roads to be held at Chairman
Caldwell's Office to settle existing dit"
ferences.
The strong lines expressed willing
ness to turn business over to the lines
which were short but the Chicago
Great Western emphatically refused
to give up business it had already con-
tracted for to other roads. As q result
it is understood several Of the weak
lines will give notice of withdrawal
from the pool in few days.

Hundreds of Refugees ArriV-

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 17-The
change in the food situation in the past
"a hours has been decidedly for the
worst in every respect. Localities that
were expected up to the last moment
to Withstand the overflow. are at last
under water. People who thought
they were safe from the angry river
find themselves hemmed in and thei1
danger is the greater because of the
confidence that prevented them from
providing against it.
From every direction come reports Of
unexpected and unprecedented disas-
ter. At Marion and the adjacent
country 400 persons are reported to be
lined up on the railroad track over
which occasional waves sweep that
threaten to carry off the desperate peo-
pie. Along the other railroads leading
out Of this city into Arkansas . similar
condition Of affairs exists. From
Island Forty comes reports that the
water il everywhere, that human be-
ings and dumb brutes are huddled to-
gether wherever shallow water offers
standing places.
Hundrsds Of Refugees.
Nearly 1000 people have been
brought to this city already from the
overlooked country. Only q few Of
these are white and all such have been
able to take care Of themselves upon
arrival as well a. to extend q hand to
the negroes who come in their train.
The citizens relief committee have
found places to house the refugees and
food is furnished them also from time
Many rumors of wholesale drowning
are current. but these cannot be veri-
fed. A we'll defined report reaches
here that five colored people had per-

and child are known to have been
drowned at West Memphis. The con.

SUFFRAGE IN COLORADO.

The following is from the Woman's
Column, a paper published in the in
terest OF the equal suffrage question
because false rGmors are %circulat-
Ing IN other States concerning the re-
suits Of equal suffrage in Colorado,
the friends Of the cause desire to pre-.
sent a truthful and unpreiudiced
statement OF fact. The signatures Of
men and women who have official
recognition are appended to this
statement, in order that the office may
give weight when names are IN
known. The signatures Include
prominent society women, as we'll as
those distinguished in intellectual
and philanthropic work. The list
might be indefinitely prolonged were
more than a representative number
possible.
1--WE, citizens of the State Of Colo
ado, desire, as lovers of truth and
justice to give u testimony to the
value of equal suffrage.
we believe that the greatest good
OF the home, the State ano the Nation
is advanced through the operation Of
equal suffrage. The evils predicted
have not come to pass. The benefits
Claimed for it have been secured, OF
are IN process Of development. A
very large proportion Of Colorado
women nave conscientiously accepted
their responsibility as citizens. In
1894 more than half the total vote for
Governor was cast by women. Be-
tween IS and 80 per cent Of the women
OF the State at that time. The
exact vote Of the last election has not
yet been estimated, but The re is reason
to believe that the proportional vote of
women was as large as in previous
years.
The vote OF good women. like that
OF good men, is involved in the evils
resulting from the abuse of our pres
ent political system; but the vote Of
women is nOticeably more conscien-
tlous than that OF men, and viii be an
important factor in bringing about a
much better ORDER
Inc above statement is signed by
the leading men and women OF Colo
RADIO, among many whose Judgment
mas neve been questioned. Lack of
space forbids the publication of the
list.
