TENNESSEE FLOOD HAVOC.


NASHVILLE. Ten, March 3o.-Reports
from the flooded districts Of Tennessee en-
phasize the gravity of the situation. The
damage resulting, it is believed. will reach
100000. while twenty-five lives are known
to be lost. Several counties certain to have
suffered heavily are yet cut off from COM
munication, and the loss in property and
life may &C higher than these figures. The
Louisville & Nashville Railroad is running
a few trains from here to Lynnville, eight
cen miles south of Columbia while the

At Clarke's headquarters it is declared the
contest is settled in Clarke's favor, the
only question being as 10 the size of the
majority. There are about ten counties

no wire connection. Partial returns tend
TO show that Jones has lost Howard and

ST. PAUL. Mimi, March S0.-Transconti-
mental traffic by the Northern routes con-
tinues to be blockaded. The Northern Pa
cific's efforts to transfer passengers across
the lake formed by the overf1owing of the
sloughs near Mckenzie, n. D., have proved
futile and but little hope is held out for
resumption of business In the immediate
future. Reports from the Great Northern
are to the effect that their transcontinental
trains, which heretofore have been able to
get through with only slight delay, are now
held up by floods in the western portion Of
North Dakota. Just where the trouble is
has not been definitely learned. but tele-
graphic reports say the Mouse river is out
of its banks at Minot on that line and that
The Red river is also at flood tide at Grand
Forks, but so far as reported little damage
has been done there.
The situation of the Northern Pacific is
extremely serious. Reports from Mckenzie
are to the effect that lake thirty miles
long and two miles wide has formed and
the tracks are sixteen feet under water or
perhaps entirely washed out. Efforts to
transfer passengers across this lake have
not been successful. The wind has been so
high and the water so rough that much
danger has attended the attempt to trans
fer passengers in small skiffs. 1t is thought
that an entirely new track will have to be
built around this gap before traffic can be
carried ON. Passengers east bound hs ~
been held at East Bismarck, and no west
bound coast trains have been started from
st. Paul. AS no freight can be moved west
ward, there is some fear that famine in
foodstuffs may result in Bismarck, though
IL is possible enough provender could be
got through from the West to relieve the
more pressing needs. Some of the North
ern Pacific business has been transferred
in that way it is hoped to open an avenue
of communication with the north coast
cities. The most hopeful railroad officials
are inclined to believe that ii will be at
least ten days before through traffic can be
re-esta blished by regular routes.
A dispatch from Bismarck, n. D., to-
night says railroad officials there hope to
have a train through some time tonight.
conveyed by wagon to a neck of the tenn
porary lake and there ferried across by a
launch. The main part of the lake is so
rough boats cannot be used.
Ties, rails, ETC., are being rushed TO the
lake and a temporary track Will be con-
structed soon az possible. An imme nse
amount of freight is accumulating at both
ends of the washout. and unless this shall
be moved soon a great loss will be entailed
upon the railroad company in addition to
that already occasioned by the delay in
traffic.

The United States Philippine commission
yesterday fixed the government rate Of ex-
change for silver FOR the second quarter of
this year at 1927 Mexican silver for one
gold dollar. The rate of exchange yester-
day at the banks was 50. % Mexican for 81
gold, but the banks refused to sell gold in
large quantities, not having sufficient coin
to do so. The banks have notified the
quartermasters department that it is I'M
possible for them TO cash quartermaster
checks. The scarcity of American gold is
attributed partly to the banks and largely
to Chinese spectators, who always buy
American gold at a quotation points
higher than the bank rate. This action of
the commission in making the government
rate higher than the bank rate of exchange
has created much discomfort among i'm
porters. They are unable to obtain sufIi-
cient gold to pay import duties, and must
consequently pay these duties in silver at
the government rate of $2.27.
The employees of the civil government are
elated at the new rate of exchange, as it
means a considerable increase in their
salaries. 1t is the intention of the commits
sion to endeavOr TO retain the gold in the
archipelago. The bankers of Manila say
the monetary situation in the Philippines
cannot be helped by governmental action,
and that region as important CONNER
cially as the Philippine archipelago must
affect the worlds markets.

CROSSED The DEADLlNE
SHEEP HERDERs IN WYOMING At
Tackled BY CATTLEMEN.

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., March 5o.--ln a
fight yesterday on the range in the upper
Green river country. between cattlemen
and sheep men, four men were shot, two
perhaps fatally: several others were Sc
verely beaten, and l, 100 sheep were dubbed
or shot to death. Abraham and Rowen
Hill, brothers, sheep men, were danger
ously wounded, and when a courier who
brought the news left the scene they were
in critical condition. The Hills shot, but
did not kill, two cattlemen, whose names
have not been learned, and several sheep
herders were beaten by the cattlemen.
The cause of the trouble is dispute be-
tween the cattle and sheep men over a di-
vision of the range. The cattlemen have
been fighting for years TO keep sheep out
of the New Fork section Of Uintah county.
No sooner have they got rid of one band of
sheep then another appeared. At last dead
lines were drawn about a certain district.

the sheep men were warned to keep away
or take the consequences.

WATERS SLOWLY RECEDING.


MEMPHIS. Tenn. March 3O.-Advices
from the flooded districts in Mississippi to-
night are that the waters are slowly re-
ceding, and it is believed the worst is over.
The damage to railroads. farms and other
property will foot up an enormous sum. II
is reported that many negroes lost their
lives, but the exact number cannot be given
at present. Meridian, in the eastern part
of the State, has had no railroad communi
cation for several days Railroad traffic
continues paralyzed in that section. Not
one of the five railroads entering the city
have yet been able to get trains through
either north or south. Mail, however is
being transferred on the Alabama Great
Southern at Narkeeta creek, where the
bridge was swept away. Large forces are
at work on all washouts and traffic may
be resumed north of Meridian tomorrow.
The damage south of the Northeastern,
Mobile & Ohio and the Alabama * Nicks-
burg is more disastrous than first anti
cipated and il is doubtful If traffic will
be resumed inside OF eight and possibly
the days. The railroad officials are having
difficulty in securing workmen.

There were about two thousand people at
the matinee. and the performance of Sag
Harbor'' by the Pike Stock Company, with
Miss Collier and Byron Douglass in the
leading roles, had proceeded only ten min
utes when the portieres between the corri-
dors and the north aisle were ablaze. The
prompt efforts Of Manager D. H. Hunt and
his staff and those on the stage were most
successful in averting a panic.
The fire started from some unknown
cause in the basement store room of the
Adams Express Company and extended up
through the first floors of the Adams Ex-
press Office and Joffee's grocery to the au-
ditorium. The only thing burned in the
auditorium was a portiere. but the volumes
Of smoke indicated a volcano under the

new Line TO TIDE WATER
OPERATIONS OF A SYNDICATE IN THE
TWO vIRGINIAS.
Railway Under Construction That VIII
Give the Wabash an Outlet by
Way of Parkersburg.

PiTTSBURG, March SO.-In the midst of
outlet from Pittsburg full statement of
the plans and purposes of one of the most
interesting as well as the most mysterious
OF these projects can now be made This
in connection with the Chesapeake West
ern Railway. The statement comes from
Joseph w. Reinhart, formerly president
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, who
IS now at the head of the syndicate which
is furthering this project.
Mr.. Reinhart says: 1T is not generally
known but 1t is a fact that before the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company secured
control Of the tidewater traffic through the
purchase of the Baltimore & Ohio, the Nor
folk & Western and the Chesapeake q Ohio
a number of men quietly took up the project
for the construction of a line of railway
from the Ohio river through the northern
West Virginia coal fields and Virginia TO
the Atlantic coast. This enterprise has
been carried forward and has now founda-
tion upor which the whole structure short
ly will be erected. This project is known
as the Chesapeake Western Railway Ii
begins at Gloucester Point or York Har-
Dor. Va, where a large acreage OF land
for tidewater terminals has been bought.
The line runs northwestwardly and west
wardly, taking in the Chesapeake & West
ern Railway twenty-seven miles. built and
in operation in the Shenandoah valley, Vir-
ginia, which is owned by the syndicate,
through one hundred miles Of the coal fields
OF Wes' Virginia 10 point near ParkeIs-
burg.
.'Corstruction work on over one hundred
miles of the line westwardly through the
Shenandoah and Allegheny mountains into
West Virginia is now under way with four
teen miles of track laid and over half OF
the entire line has been surveyed and To-
Gated estimates OF construction made
thereupon and preparations are now being
completed for general construction. The
line is in no sense a parallel road with any
existing railway. but opens up new and
prolific territory throughout its length.
The greatest care was exercised by the
owners To secure an ocean tidewater ter
rninal that would be In every Respect suit
able for handling the large traffic OF a
trunk-line railway and Gloucester point
was selected.
IL is OF much significance that the west
ern terminus OF this project is at Parkers-
burg w Va. 10 which city a line IS now
being built by the Gouds. from a connec-
tion with the Wheeling & Lake Erie At

CARELESS LEGISLATORS.


TRENTON, n. j., March 30.-The discov-
cry has been made that the State Of New
Jersey will lose an annual revenue of sli,50O
by reason of the passage by the Legisla-
ture, last week. of the bill permitting the
United States Steel Corporation TO convert
its preferred stock into bonds. Corpora
tions chartered under the laws of New
Jersey pay an annual tax their capital
stock This tax is graded and amounts to
$50 per million N the S250OO0.OoO of preferred
stock which the steel corporation purposes
converting into bonds The corporation
will not be Obliged to pay any tax on the
bond issue and the State, therefore, will
lose this money. This point was probably
overlooked at the time the bill was before
the Legislature. as no suggestion Of the
States revenue being involved was made
by any of the members who opposed the
measure.
