SURROUNDED BY WATER
Hundreds Of Lives Endangered BY
Mississippi Flood.

Memphis, Tenn, March 1s. - The
flood situation in the portion of the
Mississippi valley contiguous to Mem
phis is extremely critical. A veritable
sea exists in the ST. Francis and Mis-
sissippi river basins in Arkansas, ex-
tending from the one completely to
the other, a distance of many miles.
Through this territory the st. Louis
and San Francisco Railroad runs, but
all trains were annulled on this line
yesterday, and no assistance can be
rendered by the railroads. The town
is almost totally flooded, and citizens
are using s5iffs as their only means
of travel. Refugees from the ada
cent territory are pouring into Marion
each hour, asking that boats be sent
to their rescue. There is no means of
reaching them except by making a
breach in the levee near Memphis,
and this may be done if conditions
show no improvement. It is estimated
that several hundred persons are sur
rounded by the water in the flooded
Arkansas territory. The amount of
live stock lost is heavy. Negroes at
Marion are frightened and have con-
. gregated at the depot and in the cab
ins of the village and refuse to work.
The weak points in the levee which
were reported yesterday. other than
at the break, are still in a critical con-
dition. and further breaks may occur.
Forces of men are working night and
day at these points and the situation
has resolved itself into a race be-
tween the workers and the water.
A few floating bodies have been
found by the rescuing boats, but the
number has not yet been alarming. An
estimate of the loss of life from the
flood never can be made, as the sec
tions flooded are vast in area and the
population is widely dispersed.

Marquis Ito, the japanese statesman.
said, while in ST. Paul recently, that of
all the American customs that impressed
him as peculiar the free transportation
extended by the railroads Of this country
seemed most odd.
"Why," said he "should a railroad give
away tickets? Every bit of mileage to
them is the same as a piece of cloth to
dry goods firm. In Japan every one has
to pay for his transportation. l never
rode on japanese railroad for nothing
in my life"
When the marquis and party decided
to proceed east from St. Paul over the
Milwaukee line. the officials of the road
extended to the distinguished japanese
and his companions the courtesy of the

that the tickets and the private car would
cost nothing. The secretary was visibly
embarrassed and shook his head dubious

THE COLLINS TRIAL

Attorney General Declares a Young
Woman Furnished the Motive.
Georgetown, Del, March 1S.-"The
motive of a crime may sometimes be
concealed. but in this case we believe
we know this motive We shall show
that Elmer Collins was intimate with
a young woman. He had planned to
go away with her, and told her that
he would clear the way. Doubtless the
murder was fastened by the poor
wife's jealousy. Doubtless there were
quarrels, but the hideous fact re-
MAINS"
Thus did Attorney General Ward
yesterday end his presentation of the
case of the state against Elmer Col
Inns, accused of numbering his wife,
Aida, at Laurel, last April u. The
words came as a surprise to the sew
eral hundred spectators who had been
hoping for something new in the much
discussed mystery.
The woman referred to is May
Rhoads. who has been summoned in
the case. She sat in the second row
of the benches back of the jury box,
and was the subject of much attention.
She wore a white and black hat and a
light coat.
Frank R. Carswell and William B.
Carswell explained a plot of the
ground and buildings on the Collins
farm
Mary Henry. a young girl, the
daughter of George Henry. who lived
across the road from the Collins home,
followed the Carswell brothers. She
said: Il was in the hall of my house
when Elmer Collins came there.
Earlier in the morning l thought
saw him running from the stable to
the house. This was something after
3 o'clock. 1 do not think he wore a
hat. It was between 8 and o'clock
when ne came to our house. His chill
dren were with him. Some one was
crying or moaning"
In crOss-examinatiOn Mr.. White ad-
duced the testimony that State De-
teetive Ratledge had suggested that
the witness saw Collins running from
the stable to the house early in the
morning.

SHAMROCK III. LAUNCHED

lenaer Takes the Water.
Dunbarton, Scotland, March 1S.-At
lis yesterday Sir Thomas Lipton's
new cup challenger, Shamrock Ill,
was consigned to her element. The
launching took place at Denny's ship
yard and was a success in every way
despite the windy morning. The
yacht aew the Stars and Stripes at her
bow in compliment to America.
In the presence of a distinguished
company the yacht was sent overheard,
and as the Countess of Shaftesbury
spoke the words: Il christen you
Shamrock. may God bless you and
may you bring back the cup" cheer
upon cheer rent the air.
After the launch Sir Thomas Upton
said MY third, and, perhaps, my last
attempt at lifting the Americas cup
will be the most hopeful of my efforts.
If the cup stays in America it will
stay there because of the eXtraOrdi-
nary genius of the American yacht
builder. If he can produce a still fur

begin to think he is a bit more than
human. We have done everything
possible that men can do, and with a
little slice of luck the battered old
mug will find a resting place on this

Continuing, Sir Thomas paid trib-
ute to American kindness. saying:
"The Americans will give me every
thing | want, except the cup"

Cubans During a Squall.
Havana, March 16.-While the sec
retary of the navy, Mr. Moody, and
his party were paying a visit on shore
yesterday afternoon a squall of ire
mendous violence swept over the har-
Dor. 1t became as dark as night, and
the wind and the downpour were ter
srific. Commander Stoney, of the Dol
phin. realizing the peril to the small
boats in the harbor during such a
soualI. called for volunteer rescuers.
The entire crew of the Dclphin re-
sponded. The boats were instantly
manned and sent off. The launch re-
turned with four half drowned Gu
bans and the captains gig with an
other. who was lifted aboard appar-
emily lifeless, but was later resusci'
tated. The courage and prompt action
on the part Of the Americans are es-
pecially commended, as the British
ships did not rise to the emergency,
although one OF the cap1iZed boats was
much nearer to the Ariadne than to
the Dolphin.
Secretary Moody today summoned
the Dolphin's crew and commended
them for their pluck and presence Of
mird. 1t IS known that five men, all
Cubans. we're drowned by the capsiz-
ing of boats during the sQuall.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY AT PITTsToN

Two Well-Known Citizens Found Fa-
tally Shot On the Street.
Wilkesbarre. Pa, March ia hor-
rible tragedy occurred in the city Of
Pittston at 4 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Anthony McHugh freight con-
ductor on the Lehigh Valley railroad,
and James Kearney were found on
Main street bleeding from gun-shot
wounds. Both men were on their way
to work when the tragedy happened.
McHugh was shot through the lungs
and the right hip and died shortly after
being discovered. Kearney was taken
to the city hospital, where it was found
that he was shot near the heart and
his recovery is doubtful The police
are unable to solve the mystery or find
any trace of the murderers. There are
two theories, however, which the au-
thorities have to work upon. One Is
that there had been a party of drunken
men in a saloon engaged in war of
words and on coming to the street
they engaged in a fight; that during
the melee guns were used, and that
McHugh and Kearney were each hit by
the stray bullets.
Another theory is that a crowd of
Italians had been in a struggle -four
ishing guns and stilletoes and McHugh
attempted to quiet them when he and
Kearney were shot.

lapse, superinduced by Politics.
Pittsburg, Pa, March 16.-Recorder
]. o. Brown, of this city. who rendered
his resignation to Governor Penny
packer on Friday last, died suddenly
at his home here late yesterday after
noon. The immediate cause of Re
corder Browns death was nervous col
lapse. superinduced, it is believed. by
the unusually perturbed condition of
politics in the county.
Mr.. Brown was always delicate ply
sically and had to make frequent
trips away from home for his health,
but his death was entirely unexpected
at this time. He served continuously
as the head of the department of pub
lie safety from November 1887. until
August. 1901, when he was removed
by Recorder A. NJ. Brown. In NOvem-
ber. 1861. he was appointed recorder
by Governor W. A. Stone to succeed
A. NJ. Brown. His resignation was
sent to Governor Pennypacker on last
Friday, to take effect today. When
the fact of his resignation was made
known to his political followers the
CONSERVATION was great, and he was
made the target of much reproach by
those who counted much upon his
holding office until succeeded by the
recorder-elect, William B. Hays, on the
first Monday in April.
Governor Pennypacker today ap-
pointed William B. Hays as recorder.

CANAL TREATY RATIFIED
Agreed to By Senate By an Over
wheIming Majority.
ALL AMENDMENTS DEFEATED
The Only Party Vote Taken Was On
Substitute Adopted BY Democratic
caueus-cuban Reciprocity Treaty
to Be Acted On Quickly.

Washington, March IS. = Without
dotting an Il" or crossing a It." even
without changing a single punctuation
mark, the senate yesterday voted to
ratify the treaty with the Republic
of Columbia for the construction of an
isthmian canal. The vote for ratifica-
tion was 73 in the affirmative to in
the negative. The senate was in ex-
ecutiye session when the result yas
announced, so that only the senators
themselves and a few confidential en-
ployes were present. All the senators
announced themselves as gratified to
have the long struggle terminated, but
none of them manifested their appre-
citation by cheers or handclapping. On
the contrary, all of them seemed more
concerned about getting away from
the chamber than about anything else,
so that by the time the senate could
adjourn, which it did almost imme-
diaJely after the result was announced,
most of the senators had left their
seats and some of them had dOnned
knGlT mats anu ONGIGOdAS.
The Gay was given up almost en-
tirely to general debate on the treaty
and in addition to the set speeches
made under the general agreement by
Senators Morgan and CullOm, there
were many short addresses and a rath-
er long speech by Senator Daniel, Of
Virginia The only party vote of the
day was taken on the substitute for
article four, which was agreed upon
by the Democratic caucus and had
reference to the acquisition of terri
tory in Central and South America by
the United States. There were a num-
ber of speeches on this amendment,
but it was voted down by an almost
two-thirds majority, the ballot footing
up 81 ayes to q noes.
When the senator adjourned at Z
o'clock there was a general belief that
the business of the session might be
completed in time to permit final ad-
iournment today. This conclusion in
volved quite a general understanding
that the Cuban reciprocity treaty
could be much more speedily disposed
of than has been considered possible
heretofore. There were some senators
who expressed the opinion that more
than one days time would be found
necessary for the presentation OF ar
guments for and against the agree
ment. but a canvass Of the senate soon
developed the fact that only the two
Louisiana senators desired to be heard
on tho treaty at length at this time
and that they would not now say SO
much as they would have said if the
committee on foreign relations had not
agreed to recommend that the treaty
be submitted to conferees for its ap
proval This submission will be in
the shape of a joint resolution at the
next regular session of congress, and
as this can be discussed in open ses
sion, all those who oppose the treaty
consider that that time will be more
oDportune for argument than the
present. as they then will be able tc
appeal to the country at large as well
as to the senate.
It is the general opinion that the
treaty will be ratified by safe ma
jority.
