Tillman Talks on the Negro Question
(By the Associated Press. }

Madison, Wis, March 19-United
States Senator Tillman, of South Carolina.
delivered an address on 1.-The Negro
Question From a Southern Standpoint"
before an audience of 1900 university
students, citizens and law makers to-
night. He was greeted with the stirring
university yell.
A rather sensational incident occurred
while Senator Tillman was discussing the
Indianola postoffice case. After stating
the Southern view of the affair, he asked
whether the audience approved of Pres
ident Roosevelt's action and there was
applause. Being uncertain whether the
applause was intended as an endorsement
of the Presidents action or in approving
of his remarks, he asked his hearers for
an explanation.
He was told that it was meant for an
endorsement of the President This
aroused the Senator He went into the
details of the Indianola affair and when
he concluded asked his hearers whether
it would not have been better for the
President to have kept the office open
and punished the few hot heads that
caused the trouble than to have punished
the entire community by closing the of
flee, requesting those to raise their
hands who supported the Presidents ac-
ton. Only few raised their hands.

The River Stationary.
(By the Associated Press. }

tBy the Associated Press.)
Memphis, March lit is believed to-
night tnat the crest of the Mississippi
river food has reached Memphis and
that fall will begin within less than
"A hours. However, the conditions that
exist above Memphis with the gap in the
levee at Trices Landing, Ark. make a
most difficult and uncertain matter to
forecast what is likely to occur in the
Hood situation. The gauge tonight shows
forty feet and stationary a rise of two
tenths in "a hours.
While the crevasse had not widened
to any appreciable degree, the levee is
overtopped a short distance further to
the north and the flooded Mississippi is
discharging much water at both this place
and the crevasses,
A difference of between four and five
feet exists in the height of the water
on either side of the levee at the
crevasse and the rush of water through
the opening is terrific
The ST. Francis levee board today made
a second effort to send the tug Diana
and barge through the crevasse to as
sist in rescuing people and live stock
from the flooded area in Arkansas. The
bolt went to the crevasse today with the
purpose fully formed of sending the tug
through in charge of Captain Fogleman
who had volunteered for the dangerous
work. When. the situation was carefully
inspected the idea of putting the tug
through the gap was abandoned as the
fall is so great and the rush of the
water so strong that it was feared the
tug could not safely pass through. About
one hundred yards west of the levee there
is belt of heavy timber and the cur
rent sweeps against the large trees with
force sufficient to make them sway with
violence. This condition makes it most
probable that the tug would be swept
into the timber by the force of
the current and disabled or even
overturned. These and other I'M
favorable conditions made it impossible
to ease the taug through with cables as
contemplated and consequently the task
has been abandoned for the present at
least.
Tcday's reports from the flooded sec
tions of Arkansas are more favorable,
and for this reason the failure of the
passage through the crevasse of the re-
lief tug was not taken with much disap-
pointment. The Frisco Railroad sue
cceded in running a relief train today to
Marion from the west, but persons there
declined to leave their homes as they
take the view that they are in no dan
ger for the present 1t is also reported
that all livestock there is being well
cared for and food is sufficient. All pas
sengers from the water-bound trains
acros the river were brought 20 the city
today. No repairs have been made in
the washed out track and no forecast can
be made as to when traffic may be re-
sumed TO the west. The Yazoo and Mis-
sissippi Valley Railroad has resumed
through operation over its own line to
New Orleans from Lake View. a trans

were no startling developments in the
flood situation in the Memphis territory
today and all conditions generally are
assuming a favorable attitude except
along the levees in Arkansas, north of
the break at Trice's Landing Several
critical points exist in that section and
other breaks may occur The territory

MAD RUSH TO DEATH
String of Loaded Coal Cars
Run Away Killing -Four
Men.
(By the Associated Press.)

Johnstown, Pa. March 19.-Tho break
ing of a coupling followed by the runaway
of a string of loaded coal cars in the
Sunshine mine at South Fork this coun-
ty, late this afternoon caused the death
of three men, the fatal injury of one and
more or less serious injuries to nine
others.
The accident occurred about o'clock
this evening as the men were leaving the
mine A trip of about twenty-five load
ed cars was being hauled to the surface
by an endless chain. When the cars left
the center Of the mine, fifteen or more
men climbed aboard. All went we'll un-
til the trip reached a dip" about 100
yards from the mouth of the mine. The
train climbed three-fourths of the steep
grade in safety but a short distance from
the level track the hitching between the
second and third cars broke. Instantly
the mine slope was filled with shouts of
the men as all of the cars with the ex
ception of the first two commenced to
back down the grade Slowly at first
but with gradually increasing speed the
cars sped downward, giving
scarcely an opportunity to jump and save
themselves. When about two hundred
yards from where the hitching broke the
foremost car left the track and the re-
mainder of the trip piled up back of it.
Those who had been fortunate enough to
jump from the runaway cars quickly ran
to the outside and told of the accident
Help was quickly brought to the men
buried beneath the pile of wreckage
which filled the six foot heading for dis
lance of twenty yards At a late hour
tonight the wreckage had been cleared
away and the injured all taken out.
