ST. LOUIS FLOOD SITUATION IS GRAVE.
al

ST. LOUIS, Mo, April 27.-The flood
situation tonight throughout the neigh
boring Mississippi and Missouri river
territory is one of gravest danger. At
several points the swollen streams
have Overstepped their banks al
burst through the levees. Already sew
eral lives have been lost, and many
people are imperilled by the rapidly
rising waters. Thousands of acres Of
farm lands on both the Illinois and
Missouri side Of the Mississippi river
have been inundated, or will be soon;
stock has been drowned and crops de-
stroyed. According to the weather bu-
reau both rivers will continue to rise.
While Joseph Johnson, William Dali
ton, Minnie Frazier, Mrs. Ida :}'lgg ard
her two small children were attempt
ing to ford a swollen stream in a
wagon at Jackson, Mo, the wagon
was overturned, and the women and
two children wer4 drowned.

parts of the city and especially on the
square in front OF the palace. where
M. Ralli and the other leaders of the
opposition are comforting with the king.
After the conference a representa-
tive of the Associated Press had an
interview with NJ Stouloudis. one Of the
opposition leaders. He said the lead
ers Of the opposition had impressed
the king with the fact that it was his
first duty to organize ue Greek forces.
To this the king had assented. The
leaders also pointed .ut that a new
ministry must be a product of a. vote
taken in the legislative assembly.
The newspaper organ of NJ. Ralli
says that meeting of the legislative
assembly is the result of a conference
of the leaders of the opposition, Sotir-
polou, Ralli, Mopoulo, StouIoudis and
Carapanos, with the king and his min
listers. These leaders pointed. out the
necessity of preserving order. and. as
necessary measure to meet the dan
ger, urged the immediate assembly of
the legislative assembly to decide upon
probable solution. The king and his
ministers consented to this.
LONDON, April PA dispatch to the
Daily Mail, from Paris, says that the
Greek cabinet has resigned
LONDON, April 27.-Everything now
points to the conclusion of the cam
paign by the intervention of the
powers. There is no confirmation of the
report that the Greek ministry has
fallen. 1t is. probable that a. coalition
cabinet will be formed. 1t Is stated
that preparations are being made on
King Georges property at Smidstrup
, Denmark, with a view to having the
castle ready for its owner in case Of his
abdication or deposition. Everything
sent from Athens by the special cor
respondents emphasizes the increasing
gravity of the situation there and the
rapid development of revolutionary
feeling. This condition of things ap-
pears to have resulted largely from the
cessation of hostilities in Epirus While
there is no doubt that the Turks are oc-
cupied in establishing their lines of
communication, it is equally evident
! that the Greek disaster in Epirus is
much more serious than was at first
supposed. 1t now looks like hopeless
task to renew the advance upon Janina
as Turkey is in a position to send
j overwhelming reinforcements. The ir-
regulars cooperating with the Greek
forces show up in a very bad light, as
mere bandits, more intent on plunder
than fighting.

WILLING TO STAY EAST.

Gov. Powers of Maine congratulate tes
the people of his State that the young
men are no longer leaving Maine to
find homes in the West. It is claimed,
and doubtless with good reason, that
"for two or three generations the mi
grafton of young and middle aged men
has been tremendous drain upon the
population of Maine and other New
England States" and now that it is
ceasing at least measursbly, it is pre-
dicted that lit will be followed by q
broader development Of the resources
OF that section"
The same can be said with truth in
other States. The great West does
not offer the inducements to the young
men OF the East that it did a genera
ton ago. The developed sections of
the West are pretty fully peopled now
with the sturdy sons OF the East.
Young men from New England and all
Eastern States who go West these days
find on arriving at their destination
that to win the battle OF life out there
requires as much hard work and far
more privations and hsrdships than
they encounter at home.
There are of course great opportuni-
ties for success in the far Western
States, but only the patient, the thrifty
and the diligent can hope to better
themselves by leaving their Eastern
homes for new ones in the Western
country.
The exercise of the same energy and
perseverance which wins success for
sons Of New England in the West would
win for them equal success in their
eastern homes. When Horace Greeley
advised the young men of the East to
go West and grow up with that country
conditions were very different than
they are today, but the same principles
of industry and frugality as essentials
OF success were as vital as they are now.

The Board Of Firewsrdens OF the
Valley Falls fire district were in con-
ference with Chief Pstt Of the Central
Falls fire department last evening for
the purpose OF ascertsining what ar
rsngements can be made relative to ex-
tending the Central Falls fire service
TO the district. The plan is to abolish
the volunteer department OF the dis
trict aud substitute an electric hre
alarm system with q suitable number
of street boxes, the same to be con-
nected with the Central Falls system.
This appears to be q move in the
right direction, as there seems to bc no
obstacle to carrying out the plans along
the above men ntioned lines. The object
TO form and permanently establish q
better and more complete system of
protection against fire in the district
will doubtless meet with the hearty ap-
probation of taxpayers OF the Valley
Falls district. There has not been o
serious fire in the district in several
years, but there is no necessity OF de-
laying action until q time when it
might be como usively proven that the
present system Of fighting fires has be-
come too ancient for the needs OF a
growing and populous district.
On several occasions in the past the
Central Falls department has responded
to requests for assistance at fires in that
territory, the volunteer department be-
ing utterly incapable Of coping with
the flames. The difference 10 the tax
payers of securing protection through
the Central Falls department would be
comparatively email and there is no
doubt but what the insurance COM
panies might be more willing to make
concessions in the way of cheaper rater.
Reviewing existing conditions favora-
BILE action will no doubt be taken by
the taxpayers at their next meeting,
when the recommendations will be pre-
sented for their consideration.
