CONFLICTING FLOOD STORIES.
The Sunfiower District in Great Need of
Food and Forage-Mississipp Suffer
ing; Louisiana in Better Shape-Plant-
ing Cotton in the Delta.


Washington, April 15.-The news that
came to the war department from the
lower Mississippi valley to-day was con-
fiict:ng. Below Vicksburg the conditions
appear to differ on each side of the river.
From the army officer in Mississippi
comes most alarming statement of the
number of people suffering for food,
while the inspecting officer in Louisiana
counsels against too LIBERAL assistance
as likely to lead to bad labor conditions.
/ Just before the close of office hours
i Secretary Alger received another tele-
gram from Vicksburg representing that
the people in the Sunfower district were
cut off from dry land and in great need
of food and forage. He Immediately
called his bureau officers in consulta ton
and then ordered another steam boat to
take on supplies and start for the scene
, Of distress.
, FORM THE MEMPHIS VIEWPOINT
Memphis, Tenn, April 15.-While the
condition of affairs in the overlooked
Mississippi delta is reported brighter to-
night the situation between Vicksburg
and New Orleans is causing the greatest
apprehension. The river continues to
rise in the Louisiana levee district and
weak spots in the levee are being
strengthened. The suffering in Sun
flower county which forms part of the
delta, it is reported has been greatly al
leviated and much of the country is dry. :,
Farmers are busy blowing and planting
cotton.
The water at Rosedale has not receded
The first train that has entered Clarks-
dale for many days has arrived there
Trains are also being run from Clarks-
dale to Minter City and Phillip, and from
Lulu to Jamestown.
At Helena, the situation is unchanged.
At meeting of the property owners of
the city to-day it was decided to begin
the erection of a new levee around the
city.
At Memphis the river rose one tenth |
of foot in the "A hours ending tonight. |
An additional slight rise is looked for.
KANSAS RIVER RISING SLOWLY.
Kansas City, Mo-, April 15-The river
lTas risen eight inches since yesterday, |
marking three inches above the danger |
Line and is still coming up slowly.
Two miles up the river tie Burling- |
tons tracks are endangered. The last |
of the families on Lewis Island, a small |
place at the mouth of the Kansas river |
have moved out. The place is entirely |
and the water at the lowest |
points almost touching the caves of the |
huts.

CRAVE LAT OMAHA.

Omaha, Neb., April 15.-The flood sit
uation tonight is grave. All day the
torrents poured from the Missouri a.
cross the north Omaha gardens into
Florence and Cutoff Lakes. The former
has lost its identity in the general food,
and the latter may do so soon. Tonight
it is seven feet higher than it was on
Tuesday morning and i surely cutting
away the dykes that hold it back from
sweeping to join the Missouri and turn
the long abandoned course of that stream
again into use.
A special from Vermillion, S. DE-, to-
night reports q further rise in the Mis-
souri, river at that point. There have
been no lives lost so far as is known,
but the damage to farm property and
live stock has been enormous.

WASHINGTON, June 1s.-The senate
made greater progress yesterday on
the tariff bill than ON any other day
since the debate opened. Two entire
schedules, covering 20 pages were COM
pleted, namely, schedules ii, on spirits,
wines and beverages, and schedule l,
on manufactured cotton goods. This
brings the senate to the flax schedule,
with the important wool schedule
standing next. The portion of the bill
passed yesterday is substantially the
same as that reported, the committee
changes being unimportant, while the
opposition amendments of Mr.. Jones,
of Arkansas, and Mr. Vest were sys-
tematically rejected by majorities va
rying from five to ten. Mr.. Allison se-
cured the addition of a new paragraph
to the cotton schedule, with view to
compepsating the cotton manufacture
ers for the recent action of the senate
In placing raw cotton on the dutiable
list.
Some of the democratic members OF
the senate committee on finance said
yesterday that henceforth they would
interpose no objection to the rapid dis.
posal Of the tariff bill. They will sug-
gest amendments aud coli v-s-. -
