The railroad situation at Memphis Is
somewhat better tonight. The Yazoo

New Orleans tonight, the tracks be-

Illinois Central south and the Kansas

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 21-To-
night for the first time in many weeks
the Mississippi river is reported fall
ing at Memphis, the gauge reading 81
feet, against 81 at 7 o'clock this morn
ing. Several breaks in the Ievee are
known to have occurred, between Os-
ceola, Ark, and Memphis, and the fall
Of the river here is attributed to these
creVasses. The break at Sans Souci
is widening and the mad rush of the
waters through the opening can be
heard for miles. Three additional
breaks, all near Sans Souci, are report
ed today, and the suffering of the peo-
pie in Eastern Arkansas will surely be
greatly intensified
The condition of the levees south of
Memphis is about the same as on yes
terday. A dispatch from Vicksburg
says that the reported creVasse at
MOdoc, Ark, near Helena, is confirmed
by officers of the steamer State of Kan
sas, which passed there last evening,
and by dispatches received at Vicks-
burg. The levee at Modoc has been
considered in a hopeless condition for
several days. The water will run into
White river very fast, and will find it's
way back into the Mississippi in a
day or two. Levee men say the effect
will be merely temporary, but today a
decline is reported of from to 4 inches
along the Coanomi county, Miss, levee,
where the struggle against the high
water has, been most desperate The
Kansas also reported a break lower
down, but these are probably protection
levees. The officers of the Kansas
say that the scenes along the shores of
the big river from Memphis south
everywhere show the general anxiety.
Lights are shining along the levee and

committee work until the committee
vacancies are filled. The two sides Of
the chamber are holding out against
each other, each contending for con-
cessions which the other refuses to
make. The Democrats still insist on
being allowed to fill all the places va

LOCAL WATER SITUATION.
No Flood Conditions Apparent as
Yet.

The only local indications Of a flood
or trouble from high water so far re-
ported are in the suburbs Of the city,
where the street car company have
cleared a tWenty-foot trench on the
streets along which their lines are op-
Grated. The result has been that for
long distances in the neighborhood of
Hamline and Merriam Park the tracks
are covered with water. The street
railway officials report some trouble
on the Mississippi and West st. Paul
line owing to sand washing on the
tracks, but the delay or obstruction is
not serious.
The report at the Union depot last
evening was that trains were all on
time and there had been no serious
trouble from high water or washOuts
on any of the lines running into the
city The river as yet shows no per-
ceptible signs of overf1owing its banks
in this locality, although the residents
Of the upper flats are taking time by
the forelock and making ready scows
and boats in case of a sudden rise of
the waters.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Col Har-
rison Gray Otis, of California, will not
be assistant secretary of war. This
conclusion was reached after a con-
versatiOn in the cabinet room between
the president Secretary of War Alger
and Col. Otis. The decision was reached
because of Col. Otis geographical To-
cation. Had he been a resident of
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada,
any state, in fact, that is not represent
ed in President McKinley's cabinet, he
would probably have been appointed
to succeed Joseph B. Doe, the present
assistant secretary of war, whose res
ignation has already been accepted.
Col. Otis was Secretary Alger's sec
ond choice for the place, his first be-
ing man from Michigan, whom the
secretary asked the president as per-
sonal favor to appoint. President Nc
Klnley informed Secretary Alger that
he would be very glad to honor the,
request, but he could not consistently
do so. as it would not do to give too
much prominence to one state.

Railroads Out From Yanl1tOn fl
Bad Shape.

YANKTON, S. D., March 21.-The
two gorges in the Missouri river here
are firm tonight. The whole Northwest
is waterbound, and the railroads are
all in bad shape. Of the three roads
which run in here the only one having
connection with Eastern traffic is the
Milwaukee, and it is compelled to use
transfer boats at Vermillion and Sioux
City. After the water subsidies it is
estimated that it will take ten days to
replace bridges.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 21.-At

a foot since 6 o'clock this morning. 1t
will be several days before the mills
and manufactures on the East side
will be able to resume operations even
if there is no more rain, butsthe cessa-
ton of the rise saves the lumber yards,
which were being greatly endangered
The damage done in this city is chiefly
from backwater, and it is not thought
that there have been any great losses
to manufacturing plants along the
river, though they have shut down.
This city is cut off from railroad
communication with Memphis.
In North Alabama, from reports re-
ceived, railroad communication is bad

Tonight is clear, though the day has

waters from the North have now

river has advanced over two feet in
the last 48 hours, one of the heaviest
rises ever recorded in the same period
of time. The river is out of it's banks,
and the low lands which are not pro-
tected by levees are being inundated
and crops damaged. The loss so far is
slight, but the vast volumes of water
above that are yet to come down give
rise to apprehensions of a serious flood
before the end is reached.
