HAUNTED by FRESH FEARS.
A Repetition of the Flood Feared in
Western Pennsylvania.


Pittsburgh, Pa, April 22.--While
western Pennsylvania was fairly out
of the clutches of the flood Monday
morning, quick repetition of the
disaster and, perhaps, on an increased
scale seemed to haunt the people.
Weather conditions are not reassur-
ing. 1t is again raining in Pitts
burgh and adviCes from the head
waters of the Allegheny show a re-
pour. Warmer temperature acting on
the snow was factor that also
caused some apprehension.
The Retreat Very slow.
The waters at this point have been
steadily receding since three o'clock
Sunday afternoon, but the retreat has
been very slow. At nine o'clock Mon
day morning the Allegheny mark
showed Il feet and falling about
three inches an hour. 1t is impossi-
bic to fairly approximate the loss re-
sulting from the high waters. Esti-
mates very from $1,000,000 to $1,000
600, but the first figures will probably
come nearer the correct amount.
Rought Estimate of Losses.
A sketch of the situation would
place i'm the foreground $4,000 idle emf
ployes, who, in two days of enforced
idleness, will lose 100000 in wages.
Damage to plants along Pennsylvania
avenue and to the vast Westinghouse
mandatory in Wilmerding, with the
shutdown of other big establishments
at Rankin and Boroughs in the Turtle
Creek valley easily mounts up to half
a million more. The aggregate loss
10 railroads is estimated at 100000.
Property in Allegheny has suffered
injury to an equal extent.
Damage 10 Adjacent Points.
Marshalling with these the mani
fold items of damage to other ada
cent communities, the total of $1,000
600 can easily be reached. The mills
and factories along the river fronts
will not be able to resume before
Tuesday The railroads are rapidly
getting into shape again, and by
evening it is expected that all trains
will be running on schedule time. The
source of the greatest trouble is al

Losses-COnditions Along the Riv-
ers Further to the Eastward.

Cincinnati, April 22.-The danger
line was reached here in the Ohio
river FOOD which started at the head
waters last week and did so much
damage at Pittsburgh and intcrmcdi'
ate points. The backwater along the
Licking ON the Kentucky side has in
undated parts of Coyington, Newport
and other suburbs. The Mill Creek
valley IS tull of water and doing dam
nrc IN the west end of Cincinnati. y
similar condition exists in the east
end aud along the Little Miami bot
toms. But the worst condition is
nlong the public landing and in the
lower part of this city where sewers
are blocked and cellars filled with
backvatcr. \ stage of A. feet causes
damage in this section, and that stage
was reached Sunday evening. At 80
feet trains can not enter the Grand
Central station: at 90 feet the base
hall park is flooded and at IS feet the
races at the track in Newport must
stop. All OF these limits are in sight.
The crest of the Pittsburgh rise is not
due here till Tuesday. but the extent
has been closely anticipated and prep
arations made accordingly.
In 10 the Danger Line.
At ~ n. IN. the Ohio river here
reached - feet, just a foot from what
is called the danger line. The rise
here is four inches per hour, so that
10y one O'Clock the food was expected
To- reach 80 feet. The Grand Central
depot could, at this rate, be used till
ten O'Clock. but the lines entering it
are already arranging for stopping at
and starting from the Eighth street
station. Ad,iccs from up the river in
dictate rain at most points and the
river rising as the Pittsburgh crest
meets the floods Of the lower river
tributaries. The situation here and
in the lower Ohio river valley is now
serious.

of death. Roosevelt is undoubtedly the
chief recent offender In this respect, and
a fearful responsibility must rest upon
his shoulders for having intensified the
negro's desire for social equality and the
white mans fierce determination that
such equality shall never exist. a negro
torator in Amelia county has recently
thanked God from the stump: that the
President of the United States recognizes
no difference whatever between the
whites and the blacks. The laborers in
1.-THE Richmond Locomotive Works, on the
contrary, when addressed by a white
Democrat, greeted Roosevelts name with
&; prolonged storm of misses and howls.S
IF these men should. strike for higher
wages, and negroes should offer to take
their places, what does Captain Nawter
think would happen? He says that after
the negroes have been better educated
|Sby white teachers, prejudice against
, them will disappear Does he really
imagine, them, that the white mechanics
employed in the Richmond Locomotive
Works or in the Carolina cotton Wills
would fear and. hate well-trained. skill
full negro operatives less than ignorant,
uneducated ones who could not possibly
take their places?
But, says Captain Vawter, it we a:e @
discourage the descendants Of Ham iron
attempting to rise in the social scale Wy
not also the. descendant lf At'Ghan.
Why not all other alien races? The an
sswer is obvious. In the first place, the
Jews are far too few in number to be a;
menace to the masses in this country; and
second, lit is entirely racticabie for Jews
Ito intermarry, with other a Il. lcans-
Z Several prominent families in the pest
Virginia society have Jewish blood in tnelr
veins. Intermarriage between Americans
and European Immigrants Is, OF course
9still easier Of accomplishment.
Again, Captain Vawter fears that, II
ythe whites stop supporting the negro
schools. the next step Will be for the.
richer whites to stop supporting the
schools of5theg poorer people of their own
race. My answer IS that no political par.
s ty- will dare TO propose such a measure
The first object of parties is to carry
elections, and no party will advocate
measures; that will certainly be offensive
to the vast majority of the voters
Lastly, Captain Nawter says that, If
the whites of Virginia stop educa tin Ssthe

THE NEGRO ONCE. MORE.
Professor Dabney, of the University, Replies
to Captain Yawter.

Editor Of The Times:;
Sir,-Although it was not my intention
to trespass further upon your columns.
yet do not feel that. it would be proper
TO take no notice. of the Very courteous
reply to my first letter made by my es-
teemed fellow citizen Of Albemarle coun-
ty, Captain Charles E. Vawter, Of the
Miller School.
With much that Captain Vawter says
I heartily agree; as, for instance, with
his eulogys of the faithful negro slaves
who loyalty remained with the wives,
mothers, sisters and children of the Con-
federate soldiers during four years of
war. 1 yield TO no man in gratitude for
this fidelity, and to no man in sincere
compassion for the neSroAin his tpresent
situation. But it is this Very gratitude
and sympathy that makes NE desire to
save the colored people irons the fate
which Z fear, is in store for, them il they
make serious effort to attain political, SO
cial and industrial s. equal lily With the
whites Some OF them will doubtless re-
gard me as their enemy for warning them
against attempting the unattainable but
if can aid in saving, them from disaster.
am willing, though Very reluctant, to-
have even some OF the better negroes
misintsr'pret my motives
Captain Vawter says he hasSnevers seen
the part Of white men toward negroes,
but he admits that it exists. He thinks
that it is much stronger iii the North
than in the South. and holds that, while.
an Illinois mob may kill negroes rather
than let them get work, thesfSoathern
white workman has higher ideas of what.
is just But, observe these facts. In the
North the great bulk of the common, a S
well. as of the skilled labor, is done by
white men. Even domestic servants there
are chiefly. white. Butsins the South il,.
servants, as we'll as the vast ajoritYsof
the common hired laborers, are negroes
While most sof the skilled laborersis gre
white Hence it, is that, in the SCUM,
there is little industrial compe tition, as
yet, between the whites and blacks
whereas, when negroe laborers so North
they come into direct competition with
white men. Such being the case. shall we
attribute the present peaceful attitude Of
the Southern whites to a superior sense
of justice and a lofty altruissn, or simply
To- the fact that MS yet very few of them
have desired to do the work now done done
by negroes?
! 1t would be very delightful to me tic
feol that the great mass of Sou hern whites
were immeashreably more unset isi,s I nan
any other people since the world began .
