ests are losing heavily from high
water just above st. Louis. Great
alarm exists among river men around
Dubuque, where the stage of water is
only about two feet, the lowest mark
reached for years.
Water Extremely Low.
The river fuctuates up and down,
with falls greater than the rises, and
the stage this morning at La Crosse
was only one and six-tenths feet at
the government gauge, with two and
export. The general belief among
lumbermen is that the present season
will be the shortest in twenty years.
The Dubuque mills have supply of
logs only for week or two, and until
there is a marked rise in the river
they must shut down. The same con-
ditions will exist in cities on that part
of the river farther down. The fore
cast of the weather bureau is for con-
tinued falling of the river.
High Below the Des Moines.
On the other hand, the river below
the mouth of the Des Moines river has
been high all summer. At Hannibal it
is seriously interfering with dredge
building in the Burlington route yards,
and one big dredge building for that
railroad is under water. Various fac
tories are disturbed by the high water
on the lower part of the upper Mis-
sissippi and each smart rise causes
fears of flood damage.

WILL BUY ANOTHER
MESABA ORE TRACT
Republic Iron and Steel Company Me-
gotiating for Purchase of Some
100000 Tons.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Oficers of the
Republic Iron and Steel company are
negotiating for the purchase of an
other ore tract on the Mesaba range.
Part of the tract is now being mined,
and the company's experts estimate
that altogether it contains about 49,
100000 tons of ore. 1t is the policy of
the company to strengthen its posi-
ton in this regard whenever it is pos
sible.
In his recent semi-annual report to
the stockholders President Thompson
stated that the value Of the company's IS
ore was then estimated at $21, ,75O, 600.
This is nearly $1,0OO,0O0 more than the
amount of preferred stock outstanding.
1t is possible that the purchase now
nderfconsideration will be made joint
ly with the Cambria Steel company in
the same manner, as the Republic pur-
chased some ore property couple of
years ago with the American Steel
Hoop company. The new property in
question has been examined by both
the Cambria and Republic people, and
it was probably for that reason that
reports of consolidation were current
recently in New York. Officials of the
Republic company deny that any such
deal is under contemplation. The an
nual meeting of the Republic company
will be held in New Jersey Oct Is.
The books close Sept. 10 for the meet
ing and the dividend recently declared
and reopen on Oct 16.

with considerable interest in Central
and South American diplomatic quar-
ters here The officials of the Colo5A-
bian legation in Washington admits
that the six years extension to the
Panama company's franchise, granted
by former President San Clemente, is
open to a question of legality, for the
reason that while it was approved by
the Colombian cabinet, it was not rat
if1ed by the Colombian congress- In
deed, it is stated here that the pro-
posed extension was not even submit

country being then in a disturbed con-
dition which precluded a calling to-
gether of that body
Franchise Not Involved.
However, Colombian officials here
point out that the questioned extern
sion of time has nothing whatever to
do with the present negotiations be-
tween the United States and Colombia
in regard to the canal. No one in Co

| ment the validity of the franchise up
to 1904. The intervening time they
| consider ample for the clearing of title
| by the French company, and the trans

| inclined to scott at the idea of a revolu-

which Secretary Hay has proposed in

not been received with disfavor at the

ADMINISTRATION

Edward NJ. Shepards widely advertised at
tack on the administration of Mayor Low at
the meeting Of the Harlem Democratic Club on
Thursday night excited fully as much derison
as interest yesterday where politicians gathered,
because of It's many inaccuracies Of statement.
This is all the more surprising Mr.. Shepard
hitherto has been regarded exact man.

marks made by Mr.. Shepard said Mr.. Shep-
ard is situated Sc that he say what he
wishes L have nothing to say the matter
! read the newspaper accounts of the speech

Controller Grout when yesterday said:
Mr.. Shepard said little that concerned the
finance department. but what ne did say could
hardly be called accurate Every well informed
man should understand by this time that the
city's Budget has not been revised yet, and for
that reason Mr.. Shepard has little knowledge
Of the facts when he says that the new Budget
is So,UO00O0 greater than 1t last year"

ards assertions in the. following statement: 1T

New-York during the recent campaign. by
any of the fusion leaders. asserted by Mr.
Shepard that $50 coo 900 a year was stolen by
Tammany Hall during its late admins IRA ton
of four years: but 1t was authoritatively as
serted and successfully maintained that the
Tammany administration had increased the
public burdens by S27,000,000 in the short space
of four years Nor is it true further stated
| by MT. shepard, that the budget mas been IN
creased S5O00O00 by the present administra-
ton. So far is this statement from being
rect, that the Budget has not up to this time
been increased changed at ALL Budget

priation for any department has yet been made.
! The entire Budget is as Mr. Shepard must have
known in process of revision by the Board Of
Estimate and Apportionment. Hence his
sertion is merely bald and gross msrepresen-
tation made for political effect only.
Borough President Cantor said: 1T strikes me
that criticism of the administration would sound
a good deal better coming from who was
not so badly whipped at the polls. Ordinarily
the man with a grievance is looked upon with
suspicion. Mr.. Shepard's accuracy will be ques-
toned by many people who are acquainted with
the facts in regard to the city administration"
