THE WESTERN FLOODS.
Crest of the Rise Reaches Nemphis-
Relief for Sufferers.

Memphis, March 19.--It IL believed to-nigh'
that the crest of the food has reached here and
that fall will begin within less than twenty
four hours. The conditions that exist above
here. however, with the gap in the levee at
Trice's Landing. Ark, make it most dtfficult
and uncertain to forecast the situation. The
gauge tonight shows forty feet. a rise OF two
tenths of foot in twenty-four hours.
The st. Francis Leyee Board to-day made
second effort to send the tug Diana and oarge
to assist in rescuing people and livestock from
the flooded area IN Arkansas. When the s1tua-
ton was inspected carefully the idea OF put
ting the tug through the gap in the levee was
abandoned as the fall was great and the rusn
OF water was strong that IT was reared ti!e
vessel could not safely pass through
TO-day's reports from the flooded sections OF
Arkansas are more favorable. The Frisco Fall-
road succeeded in running a reiier tram 10
Marion, from the west, but persons there de-
clined TO leave their homes. 1t also IL reported
that all livestock there is being we'll cared Tor,
and that food is sufficient. All passengers from
the waterbound trains across the river were
brought to the city to-day.

HARMONY ESSENTIAL.
Necessary for Norther" Pacific
Great Northern Properties.

St Louis March 19-Argument for the Northern
Securities Company in the merger case was re-
suued by ex-Judge George B. Young, in the United
States Circuit Court sitting here this morning
Judge Young pointed that 1t was essential TO
the transcontiuental roads that they should nave
some opening to the manufacturing districts and
the coal fields of the Middle West He told how the
Burlington purchase was made long before the ldea
Of a holding company for the stock OF the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern companies was col-
CeiVed.
The raid of the Union Pacific interests to gain
possession Of the Northern Pacific stock on May 3.
1901 showed that some action necessary TO
prevent its re currence. Immediately subsequent 10
this there was a meeting OF the representatives
OF the Northern Pacific and the Union Pacincr and
others at which it was agreed that holding COM
pany should be formed TO hold the stock OF the
Northern Pacific Company.
He pointed that the purchase Of stock OF the
Great Northern was neither suggested nor contem-
plated and that this concusively reues the state
nent of Assistant Attorney General Beck that at
that time there was an agreement made to create
a common ownership Of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific and thus violate the Sherman
antitrust act.
He argued that tbs formation OF the securities
company had not restrained monopolized COM
merce as each railway was managed. as required
BY law by a wholly different board of directors
from that Of the other. He showed that only 2I8
per cent Of the traffic Of the Great Northern and
only 2se per cent of the traffic of the Northern Pa
ciho could in any degree be called competitive;
that by the Burlington purchase the local traffic
on the roads would be immensely Increased, ana
that the continuance of this increase could only
be insured by a harmonious action Of both roads
in regard to the ownership Of the Burlington. and
this could be best secured py the CoHlftrOH o"leF-
shiD OF the stock.

NOTE TO THE ALLIES.
Declaration of Their Purpose 0s to
The Hague Protocol Asked.

Washington. March 19-Another importAES
chapter in the Venezuelan controversy developer
tonight. Impeiled by the persistent reports
which have been circulated that there might De
a disposition on the part Of the allied powers
to settle directly with President Castro the ques
tion OF the payments of the claims of their ctti-
zens against Venezuela coupled with the oeiay
in settling the additional protocols MI. Bowen
has made an effort to obtain positive informa-
ton from the allies as to their intentions IN tne
premises with this purpose in view tonight
he addressed Sir Michael Herbert. the British
ambassador at Washington. a note calling atten-
ton to the delay Of about month ana 10 Ehe
runors current that the powers are not disposed
to send the question of preferential treatment
to The Hague. He urged IL as desirable that
some declarations should be made by the alileS
to what they will do.
According TO the terms OF the protocol signed
with Germany, Great Britain and Italy on Feb
ruary 13, 80 per cent of the customs receipts of
the ports of La Guayra and Porto Cabello were
to be paid over to the representative Of the Bank
of England at Caracas for the satisfaction OF the
claims against Venezuela. pending the decision
of The Hague tribunal and the customs receipts
were to be paid out III accordance with the de-
cision Of that tribunal the question of prefer
entail treatment. The first allotment OF customs
receipts was to be paid April I, covering the
receipts for March. AS this time is near at
hand, and there does not seem to be any dis
position on the part of the allies to proceed with
any dispatch with the preparation Of The Hague
protocols the Venezuelan representative does
not'think that Venezuela should be bound to pay
the 80 per cent provided for in the protocol OF
February Is If The Hague protocol is not signed
before April /.
The note, it is believed here, will bring the
whole question to issue promptly, and term1-
nate the indecision which now apparently on
tains as TO just what the intentions OF the alled
governments in the matter OF settling their
claims.
