NEW YORK STATE FLOODS.

Many Streams Out of Their Banks,

Rains on Deep Snow.
NEW YORK, March 27.-From
many parts Of the State comes news
of floods. The waters of streams are
overlooking causing widespread mum
dations, and destroying much proper
ty.
Up to midnight the only accident in
which any one was injured vas that
due to the washing out of a culvert
near Norwich and the ditching of a
Delaware & Lackawanna train.
This rush Of water is due to heavy
rains and melting nov which has lain
for months deeper than usual. The
Mohawk, swollen by torrents, is high
er than in forty years, and much fear
was expressed that the rising water
would interfere with railway traffic.
The Genesee valley is afioat in many
places, the Genesee and it's tributaries
not having been so full for years. A
rise of fifteen inches in twelve hours
is an indication of the rapid rate at
which the water'i is flowing into Roches-
ter and its adjacent villages. Much
railroad property is already under
water.
The people of Cortland are alarmed
at the rush of waters there as the flood
threatens to sweep away houses in the
lower part of the city.
A similar state Of affairs existed at
tBinghamton early to-day, where man
ufacturing plants were forced to sus-
pend and where citizens were alert
to prevent serious catastrophe, but no
great damage has yet resulted.
Watertown reported tonight that the
Slack river was getting up to ear the

OTTOMAN TROOPS KNOWN TO
HAVE RECEIVED A SEVERE

LONDON. March 27.-Advices re-
ceived from Constantinople are to the
effect that affairs are rapidly reach
ing a dangerous pass there.
Turkish finances are in inextricable
confusion. ALL government salaries
are from six to eight months in ar
rears. Upwards of a million Turkish
pounds are due for war material, while
the military expenditure is daily in
creasing. In order to cope with the
rebellion in the province Of Yemen,
in Southern Arabia, and the possible
rising in Macedonia.
There is no doubt that the Ottoman
troops received a severe check at the
hands of the Arab insurgents, who,
in a manifesto denouncing the Sultan,
proclaimed his brother, Mohammed-
Peshad Effendi, to be Sultan, with the
title of Mohammed v. The Young
Turks party have adhered to the Ara
bian proclamation, and the open en-
nifty to Abdul Hamid, the Sultan, has
spread to the palace and the Sultan's
advisers. Izzet Bey is said to be pre-
pairing for flight. The patrols of Con-

hammedans and Christians are arrested

THE vAGAR.Es or THE WIND.

THE VAGAR.ES OF HI WIND.
The course of the recent tornado in
the vicinity OF and through the city
Of Birmingham, Ala, affords an inter-
esting matter for study. The general
course of the aerial gyrations was from
southwest to northeast, a fairly
straight line being the result when the
whole course was mapped out, but
when the path of destruction is con-
sidered IN detail some strange things
are presented.
The course approaching Rirming-
ham. north of Red Top mountain, was
almost. straight to the northeast I'M
til Pratt City was reached, where the
storm made a sharp bend to due east,
continued this for a few miles, and
then resumed it's former course to
North Birmingham. There it turned
at a sharp right angle to the south
and kept that course until the west
ern suburbs of Birmingham proper
were reached, as though guided by
some influence determined to level a
straight blow at the town. Once fair
ly in line for tile city, there was an
equally sudden change again to the
original course, and the result was
death and destruction to an ample ex-
tent. This sudden change of course at
North Birmingham was a queer freak,
for if the original course had been
maintained the city proper would have
entirely escaped. Truly there are a
number of things apparently past find
ing out.

HORRIBLE RECITAL OF A RECENT
EVENT.


Readers of the newspaper press
throughout the world will recall, with
more or less effort, that at the r
nation ceremonies Of the present Car
OF Russia, Nicholas H., in 1894, there
was some sort of disaster at Moscow,
in which many of the common people,
attracted to the city by hundreds OF
thousands to witness the event, were
killed. The Geographic accounts of the
accident were indefinite and obscure,
and after a brief and unsatisfactory
publicity in very general terms the
incident was closed so far as the
world was concerned, but, it appears,
has not been forgotten by the people
Of a large section Of northern Europ-
can Russia. and Is alleged to be the real
cause for the present ~portentious dis
orders.
The New York Journal of Tuesday
gives prominence to what it asserts to
be the first publication Of the true facts
in the case. In substance, the Journal
says that among the preparations for
the coronation the streets over which
the procession Of royalty was to pass
were covered with sand to the depth OF
an inch, this sand being taken from
an extensive plain contiguous to the
city, resulting in a long trench being
cut, fifteen feet wide and twenty feet
deep. On this plain the hundreds Of
thousands of people-the common peo-
ple-were herded by soldiers, the
trench having been covered by planks.
Under the pressure of the surging
mass, this broke, precipitating thous-
ands into the abyss, as fatal and
awful as the sunken CharlerOi road
of the field of Waterloo where the
cavalry of Napoleon l. were engulfed
by thousands until the broad and deep
ravine was filled with the bodies of
horses and men and the rear battalions
passed on to the attack over the bodies
as on level ground. AS a result OF
this festival horror, without a par
allel in almost a century, five thous-
and men, women and children met their
death, and the crowd, urged by the
soldiery, trampled over their bodies
by tens of thousands. Wives lost their
husbands. husbands sheJr wiz 81. AID
both their children, while entire FAM
lies by hundreds went to a death as
horrible as it was inexcusable for
those responsible. The matter was
hushed up as best it could be by the
officials Of the autocrat, for the joyous
scenes in the churches and palaces
must not be marred. Details of soldiers
removed a few of the top layers
of bodies, to be buried elsewhere,
quick lime was put over all, the earth
shoveled in, and the gap was closed,
the living, mangled yet breathing, and
the fortunate dead being thus buried
But the memory of that awful thing
still lives and moves in Russia, and
not all the terrors to be feared from
the Great White Gar and his subser-
Went and obedient officials and SOL
diery can blot out the hate, vengeance
and deep resentment still held by the
people
It's an interesting bit of history, and
n worth knowing in the present crisis
for the Empire.
