NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 21.-At
o'clock tonight the Cum berland river
marks 48 feet on the gauge and is fall
inS rapidly, the fall being now over
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, but-the 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
ly disOrganiZed.
Tonight is clear, though the day has
been excessively hot, causing fear of
more rain. No fatalities in this city
are reported.

Railroads Out From YanktOn in
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.

QUINCY, ILL.,, March 21.-The flood
waters from the North have now
reached this point, and this section of
the Mississippi is now booming. The
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 its 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.

The Oregon city need not worry. The
world at large is not astonished at the cor

department When Portland elected PEN
meyer. II deliberately invited a contemptu-

ferred low demagogy. political dishonesty
and pyrotechnic hypocrisy to the conserva-

deplorable situation in that city. That Port

can be no doubt. OF course the city as a

Canada's Selfish Policy.
New York Times


Mr. Macoun, the Canadian sealing ex-
pert, thinks the most important points
settled by the agreement Of the experts at
Washington acquit Canada OF all wrong.
The experts agree. he says that pelasic
sealing is conducted according to the rules
under the Paris award, and that so long
as the haunts OF the seals on land are pro-
tected, and the protected zone at sea Is
maintained, the seals are in no danger OF
actual determination. Why, may we ask
Mr.. Macoun, should the United States
preserve the seals on land for Canada 3
profit, when Canada will not even observe
the rules the United States imposes upon
itself regarding pelagic sealing? And IL
pelagic sealing is destructive when pur-
sued according. to the Paris rules. Is il
better that the rules should be changed
or the destruction should continue? Cans
ada does not and cannot preserve her
ocean fisheries, nor are they suffering by
everlasting. nor can she appropriate them
to herself by catching all the fish, as we
can all the seals. Yet she asks US to re-
strain our fishermen. How much more
moderate Is our request about the seals,
which Canada rejects against the united
opinion and interest OF all concerned. This
Is singular prelude TO friendly negotia-
ton upon irrelevant matters.

4 HOPELESS STRUGGLE.

The San Francisco Chronicle Ia max

the lethargic business community OF
that city TO the necessity OF striving
Tor the Kiondike trade. II has daily
heid before its readers the brilliant ex-
ample % Seattle and has appealed to
1ts constituency not to allow minor
town on Puget sound to defeat them

fanatic bonrbardment on the fortress
Of indifference and inactien. and OF the
indefasigabie efforts of trade bureau.
- subscriptions In the magnificent sum
Of 81. 900. OF which Mr. De Young him
self contributed 81 900. Here are few
extracts from Chronicle broadside;
''The merchants ard business men OF San

generous ard snterprising Seattle looks AT
this picayune subscription and sees the
things in store for those who work hardest
for them. she permits her Imagination TO
build on the shores of Puget sound richer
and greater city than san Francisco, while
the old metropolis lives shabby on the
memories OF the past
ssFlttt the Chranfrf.. does rot stop with
giving good advice. II goes further and
caps the ilst OF petty subscriptions with

and a. mach or more than the larger sum

The Chronicle has undertaken to do
too much. 1t has mistaken the temper
Of San Francisco and IL does not un-
derstand the Alaska situation. The
merchants do. 1t Is evident that the
business community considers II a wan
ton waste OF money to attempt to build
MP trade with Alaska. They are nearly
right. They are too heavily handi-
capped. They are too far away.
Treights are higher. Too much time is
lost In transit. They are remote from
the natural channel of traffic. And.
above and beyond these things. is the
fact that Seattle merchants are special
lists In Alaska trade. They know is
neculiar conditions They are better
prepared than any other merchants
anywhere to outfit persons going north,
Taking all these things together. 1t Is
not surprising that the Chronicle has
been able to arouse only languid inter
est in the klondike trade The business
public knows that the struggle will be
hopeless. Therefore. II will not bestir
Itself.

though IL may be intrinsically wise, nor
10 condemn a measure which would be
Injurious to American interests If 1t lay

does not follow, therefore. that Presi-
dent McKinley's message Is undeserv-
ing OF confidence on the part OF the
American people because Il does not
find favor In the eyes OF Engiishmen.
When an English newspaper calls it

conservative When a London fnancser
declares that 1t is wIshy-washy on the
money question IL means that the presi-
dent is not stubbornly determined TO

sage have been very favorable, and
Lord Revelstoke. head of a great bank
ing house. Is quoted as saying that he
anticipated business with the United
States will be very brisk after the new
year. He recognizes, he says. that we
are having prosperous times over here
and that confidence Is being gradually
restored.
AS a people we feel that way about
it ourselves and are not disposed to
worry over the currency question. Ev-
cry man is interested just now in get
ting all he can OF the best money Of the
world, and he does not want any dis
turbance OF the Industrial conditions or
any experiments with money. When a
man has no money and can get no
work, he Is apt TO think great many
foolish things which do not occur to
him when he Is busy and earning good
wages.

II Is evident that the ST. Louis board OF
education is out Of harmony with the spir-

a large foreign population, and conflicts be-
tween Irish and German pupils were fire.
quent To avoid constant trouble the
board established schools for the Germans
and the Irish. 1t was a cowardly and un-
patriotic way out of the difficulty. The
school system in this country was not es-
tabrished for the Germans or the Irish. but
fo- Americans. All peoples meet there on
a common level. and for a common purpose.
without distinction OF blood or creed II
the German and Irish boys cannot meet
and mingle without fighting, they should
be denied all school privileges.
