The RIVER.

With the Mississippi 1t ~ al
ways the unexpected that happens.
Two weeks ago the planters of the
Delta were congratulating them
selves that an overflow this spring
was practically an impossibility-a
condition which did not enter into
their calculations. Now the river
is against the levees from Green
vile north, and is only 9.72 feet
below the highest water OF 1897 at
this point. A high water is not
only threatened, but is actually
upon US, and once again our only
hope of safety lies in the security
of our levees, At stop Landing,
where break occurred last spring,
the new levee has caused great I'M
easiness by persistent sinking, and
has required unremitting work by
large forces to maintain it at grade
height ever since it was COM
pleted. 1t is probably the weak
est point in the line, but the en-
gineers appear to feel confident that
the efforts made there will be sut-
icient to hold it. 1t is common
to hear persons, in discussing the
possibility of an overflow, refer
to the phenomenal crop Of the
past year as an agument against
the expense and trouble Of main
tanning the levees; but with the
thoughtful and well informed such
expressions have no weight, and
are regarded as mere idle talk.
Such crop as that of 1897 may
never again be raised in the Delta,
either with or without al over
how. The water probably had
the effect of depositing strongly
tertilizing sediment, as was evil
denced by the extraordinary
growth and development of all
vegetation, and it also doubtless
destroyed all insect life injurious
to cotton; but the great crop was
as much the result of uncommonly
favorably weather conditions as it
could have been Of any improve
of the soil by overflow. The fact
does not appear to be taken into
consideration by those who use
this argument that the losses sus-
tanned by reason OF the overflow
more than counterbalanced any
advantage gained from the raising
of an immense crop at ruinousIy
low prices.
An overflow from the wafer now
threatening would be even more
disastrous than that of last year,
the season being more advanced,
a great portion of the cropplanted,
and the danger coming on after
all fear and preparation had been
given up. Last year the water
came over during the last week in
March. After it went down, from
the 18th to 25th May, there was
yet time to plant and mature the
crop. There is, at this time, a
statement on file in the Office of
THE TINES, showing that on
ground which, on April 9th, was
covered with water u feet deep,
there was growing, on July 4th,
field of cotton averaging six feet
in height. This was possible with
an overflow remaining on the
ground from April 1st to May
10Th. but what would have been
the effect had that water remained
on the ground from April 18th to

NEW CITY RESERVOIR
Important Addition to Facilities for
Supplying Water.

If no unforeseen difficulties are met, a
new water reservoir with a capacity of
100000 gallons, will be placed in use
some time next September. This new reser-
voir will be built on the high tract of land
lying between 10th street extended and the
eastern boundary of Rock Creek Park. A
little more than nine acres of ground has
been purchased by the District at a cost
of about $4,000. and plans for the reser-
voir, which will be of two sections, are
nov being prepared by Mir. w. A. McFar-
land, superintendent of the District water
department. 1t is the first section of this
reservoir which is expected to be placed
in use next September, and it WILL it is
believed, remove the complaints respect
ing lack of water In the middle high Sec
ton, which extends, in genera way, from
U street northward, and materially relieve
the existing condition elsewhere. The sec
ond section. which will be of equal capa-
city, will be built during the next few years
This reservoir will be just about opposite
to the BrightwO0d Driving Park and in
the building of the second section it will
be necessary for the Comm ssioners to OBJ
tain authority from Congress to straighten
the lines of the Rock Creek Park, which
as now laid out, are very irregular. The
cost Of the reservoir, 1t is believed will be
between 100000 and 100000.

IN MUDD'S DISTRICT,
Belief That He Will Receive a Big
Majority.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, November f.
1t is the intention of the republicans to
have no more speeehmaking here at the
county seat before the election, but meet
ings will be held in other sections of the
county. Sidney E. Mudd's county man
ayers are well satisfied with what has been
accomplished, and the figures next Tues
day, they think, will show good results.
1t is true in this county as in others, that
there has not been the enthusiasm that is
shown during presidential contests, al
though the meetings held at different
towns and cross roads throughout the
county has been well attended During
the early part of the campaign very little
interest in the election was shown by the
party rank and file of both the democrats
and republicans, but Mr.. Mudds tour Of
the county has aroused the republicans and
interest in the contest has greatly -increas-
ed During the session of the court pOliti
cal orators were heard on both sides dur
ing the day and night. Some of these
gatherings were large because of the at
tendance at court.
Wednesday night there was a republican
meeting at Forestville, village between
this place and Washington, and the
farmers manifested considerable interest in
the claims of Representative Mudd and his
party managers. Tonight there will be a
republican gathering at Oxon Hill, which
promises to be big affair In addition to
Mr. Mudd, several speakers from Washing
ton are expected to make addresses.
The republican county managers are con-
fident over the result of next Tuesdays
balloting, and while many democrats are
willing to concede the elections of Mudd in
the District. they are hoping that Parker,
the Independent republican candidate, will
poll large number of votes. This. of
course, would decrease Mr.. Mudd's
chances, but the straightout republicans,
who represent the republican party organi-
zation, have no such fears. Parker, they
urge, is merely running in the interest of
Mr.. Cummings. the democratic candidate,
and the republican voters are being told
that votes cast for him are really cast for
a democrat.
The democrats are saying complimentary
things about Parker. In this way they
nope to draw on the colored vote in their
efforts to defeat Mudd but 1t is confidently
expected that the colored vote will be cast
almost soidly for the regular ticket.
Mr.. Mudd is extremely popular with the
colored people throughout the district, and
more particularly with those in the lower
counties. Some few of them who failed to
get offices are disgruntled, and few scat

tering votes may be cast against him.
This detection, it is claimed, will be more
than offset in other and more thickly popu-
lated parts of the district, where, in addi-
made some solid friends in the ranks of
the democracy. A colored worker, who
has been through the district, told The
Star correspondent this morning that Mr..
Mudd will have a majority next Tuesday
even larger than that given him two years
ago. The fact that there is an Independent
republican candidate in the field, he says,
will make no difference in the result. He
said he believed the democrats would at
tempt to spring a surprise on the republic
cans at the last hour, but, he added, there
is nothing they can do now that will defeat
Mudd.

From the New York Herald
There was dearth of democratic election
letting money in Wall street and sporting
circles yesterday. Tammany's bank roll
bet through the medium Of certain stock
exchange brokers and bookmakers, again
became exhausted, owing to the persistent
manner in which it was covered by ad-
mirers of Col. Roc Csevelt. So scarce was
Van Wyck currency that Roosevelt money

The ruling quotation on Van Wyck in the
morning was to 10, but so quickly was the
democratic money offered at these ODDS ac

tEat they had reached the end of their
tether.

had bet $1,000 on Roosevelt against S1OOOD

big bet and failed. He offered to take 10 To

that even T"orey was all they would give.
