HOUSES UNDER WATER.
The Flats Submerged Between st. Paul
and Minneapolis.
The District Looks Like an Immense
Lake, and 1000 Families Are
Homeless-Only the Tops Of Many
Houses Are Visible Above the
Water.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, April 2.-The Missis-
sippi river here has reached a stage OF 10
feet and it is still rising slowly. This Is
the highest point reached since the great
flood of 1881. The residents Of the flats
had ample warning to save themselves and
their properly.
Between Minneapolis and St. Paul, LOCO
families have beean made homeless by the
flood. They lived on the flats along the
riverside and in the lowlands Of West St.
Paul. The families that lived on the left
of the Interurban bridge at Minneapolis
have been driven cut and vast body of
water rushes over the spot where their
homes used to be. 1t has swept away
many houses. On the west side the water
is encroaching on the Robert street bridge.
Only two streets in the flats are free from
water. and those only for three squares.
The water IS coming up and is gradually
submerging all the lowlands. Already 2oO
homes over there are under water and
more disappear with each succeeding hour.
Looking from the pier of the old Broad
way bridge toward the South and West
Side looks like an immense lake with
housetop sticking above the surface here
and there TO relieve the monotony. Many
of the residences farther down are COW
cred and the lake is floating full of all sorts
of household goods. fences. barn roofs,
trees and lumber of all description.

river the inhabitants awoke ,-is morning
to find their yards and in some cases their
houses flooded. They Immediately began

By a sudden rise of the river at South st.

"Widely varying rumOrs have been
