On the occasion in question the keep

Both teams played excellent ball
but the Rock Island boys showed the
better training. Rock Island had the

The game began with Galesburl

Ond Levee-Bonts Take Many Ref
ugees from Up and Down the
River Into Memphis - Reports
from Many Places That are
Threatened.
Memphis, March ia telegram was
received tonight, which gives a more
hopeful view of the levee situation at
Charlottesville, Mo-, where a serious
break in the embankment is threat
ened by the caving of the river banks
before the levee.
The telegram is to Capt. Lucas,
United States engineer in charge of the
first and second levee districts of the
Mississippi river, and is from Assist
ant Fitzpatrick, who is in personal
charge of the work at that point. The
telegram says that the caving of the
river bank in front of the first levee
has necessitated its abandonment and
that the second levee is now relied
uopn alone. Assistant Fitzpatrick says
that the second levee will stand a
further rise of five feet, if no further
caving of the river bank occurs.
All carpenters in the city, except
those employed on contract work, are
working overtime on skiffs.
The river tonight registers 35.4 and
is rising This is an advance of only
two-tenths since this morning. The
Weather Bureau has issued a bulletin
saying that the stage at Memphis will
reach thirty-eight feet by Sunday, and
that stage of thirty-nine feet should
be prepared for.
All incoming boats from both direc-
tions are bringing numbers of refu-
gees. Reports from Mississippi county,
Arkansas, say that a large area be-
hind the levees is flooded by water
which has escaped through and under
the embankment. The report says this
flooded area extends back seven miles
from the embankment, and that it has
been practically abandoned by all fam
lilies living in the territory.
In North Memphis the flood has al
ready begun approaching certain
points, and it will take but a few
inches more of water to render work
impossible at many of the lumber in
dustries in that section of the city.
At Greenlaw and Second streets the
back waters have reached the latter
thoroughfare. The occupants of cabins
have been compelled to flee to higher
ground.
The steamer Georgia Lee arrived
from Cairo to-day and reports all
landings to be in bad condition. The
steamers officers say refugees from
the lowlands are to be seen every
where. The engineers have augmented
their forces, and the steamers are car
rying sacks of sand and other sup
plies to the more dangerous places in
the levee system.

SOUTHERN SENATORS
WANT THE CANAL.
If Amendments Are Lost, They Yet
VIII Vote for the Treaty,

Washington, March 11.-Democratic
senators are making an effort, under
the leadership of Senator German, to
reach an agreement upon amendments
to the Panama canal treaty to be sup
ported by them, and each one has been
asked TO give his views upon this point.
So far substantial unanimity has been
expressed in favor of a modification of
Article %, so as to place the control
of the canal in American hands. There
is general complaint among the Demo-
Gratis that the provisions of that arti-
Gle preclude the possibility of pro-
tecting the canal by American arms
in case the necessity for doing so should
arise.
1t is said however, that no amend
ments will be offered by the Democrats,
as a party, unless the support of all
the Democratic party can be assured
in advance. While practically all of
them are said now to be favorable
to an amendment that will give the
United States control of the canal, it
is understood that many, especially
among the Southern senators, say that
if this or other amendments shall be
offered and rejected, they will reserve
the right to vote for the treaty in
the end
