Crisis-Honses Drifting From Their
Foundations et,Gunnison. Miss.
ST. LOUIS, April 3.-The recent
heavy rains, according 20 the weather
bureau, will cause the Mississippi flood
to reach crisis. The water contln-
ues to rise in Louisiana.
A break occurred at Bayou la
Fourche, but it was quickly stopped
Houses are drifting from their tounda-
tons at Gunnison, Miss break at
Concordia Landing is threatened. Ii
the levee yields at that point Gun,
nison will be entirely swept away. 1t
is almost certain that lives have been
lost in the Delta. as many persons are
reported missing, and search has failed
to discover them. Loss of life Is re-
ported from Laconia Circle also.
The situation at Helena, Ark, IS i'm
proved. The heavy rain, while swell
ing the river, has packed the earth on
the levee, greatly strengthening the
mbankments Water entering the
basin through breaks in the Missouri
levees will pass Helena, continuing the
upward tendency of the flood for sew
eral days
The Westover break is not so inn
portant as at first supposed. Water
from crevasses below Modoc, however.
is backing up the country, and it will
soon be as high behind the leveeS as
in front OF them.
1t is reported that two men were
killed near the o. X. {Mississippi)
levee. They refused to heed the warn
ing to keep away from the bank, and
were shot by guards.
Nearly three inches of rain fell
Thursday afternoon and night in
southeast Missouri, covering hundreds
of acres of farming land and stopping
the rivers fall The st. Francis levee
at Williams slough is badly damaged.
But two feet of earth in some places
are holding back the river.
Subterranean trouble of a mysteri-
Gus sort has developed between Point
Pleasant and Tiptonville, Mo- A
whirlpool was formed and at intervals
sound like the roar of cannon is
heard.
The heavy rains have caused all
streams of the north to leave their
banks. Where ice remains gorges
have damned the rivers. In breaking
these gorges have carried away many
bridges in Minnesota and the Dallotas.
The upper Mississippi, which has been
falling for several days, is rising more
rapidly than before. Farmers who re-
turned to their homes in the lowlands
have been forced again to fee.

Gladstone on Cretan Affairs.

LONDON, April 3.-Hon, VIM. j. Stan
hope, NJ. P, for Burnley, has received
a letter from Mr. Gladstone in which
the ex-prime minister says he hopes
that parliament will firmly resist
the claim of the powers to choose
a ruler for the Cretars The
powers, Mr.. Gladstone adds, are en-
titled to claim that whosoever shall be
selected as prince of Crete shall be dis
posed and able to fairly recognize OF
toman suzerainty in the island. but
beyond that the selection of a ruler is
purely a Cretan affair.

NEW TARIFF BILL
Discussed by American Business Firms In
Paris.


Paris.
PARIS, April 3.-The Dingley tariff
bill now before the American congress
has materially excited American bust
ness houses here. The American cham
Der of commerce has held a largely at
tended meeting to consider the effects
Of the bill.
Vice President Peartree related sta
tistics of the mutual trade of France
and the United States, showing that
the latter country had sent into
France, duty free, goods to the value
OF $50, 600, 900 francs while France had
sent into the United States, duty free,
only so, 600, 600 francs worth of articles.
France, he further said favors
American exports by admitting 80, O0O..
900 francs worth on the minimum tariff,
but the market for American manufac-
tured articles was very restricted.
Owing to the reduction of duties to
the chamber suggests that the United
States reduce its tariff on some of the
most important French exports.
France would then admit many Amer,
lean articles at reduced rate
The chamber hopes that the addi-
tional discretionary powers asked for
by President Mckinley in his inau-
gural address will be granted, so that
reciprocal relations between France
and the United States can be estab-
lished.
