critical inspection Of the flooded dis

es the conditions at Armourdale, which
received the brunt of the flood here, as
worse than those following the flood at
Johnstown and Galveston. He said:
"Armourdale is the worst wrecked city

could not eXaggerate the conditions
there. In fact, it cannot be described
so a person who has not seen the ruin
can realize the awful devastation by

Jackson, KY, June 15.-Interest in

though this place has become accus-
toned to assassinations and to incen-

few years, it had never such night of
terror as last night. Many spent a
sleepless night, not as members of any
vigilance committee patrolling the
streets, but within their own doors, as
many are expecting the torch to be APP
piled to their houses next. Fourteen
residences and stores, owned by those
known as Cardwell- -Cockerill sympa-

high and running with great sWiftness
were very noticeable. Much broken tim
Der and a great deal of debris as well
as large rocks We're brought down the
arroyo. The supports Of the bridge
were washed out and the bridge was
wrecked. A lot on Palace avenue and
Delgado street, the property of w. j.
Mcpherson, and planted in fruit and
alfalfa, was greatly injured, fences torn
down, swept away and the alfalfa crop
DESTROYED, The amount of water that
came down the arroyo was very great
and it is astonishing that more damage
was not done by the force and swift
ness of the current.
The middle span of the new Santa Fe
bridge over the Galisteo was swept
away last evening and it is not now
known when traigs can get through,
Forty feet of the dixie between Ala
media and the Santa Fe tracks were
swept out. Ell Paso has hundreds OF
men at work strengthening the levee
and preparing for the flood that is
coming.
NORTH OF SANTA FEE.
Yesterdays rain storm extended
about 40 miles north of Santa Fe. The
rainfall was heavy in the valleys OF
the Rio Tesuque, of the Nambe ana 70
ioaque creeks and in the Espanola
valley on the Rio Grande. At Embudo
there were few showers, but very
little if any rain north Of there. The
water in the Rio Grande at Embudo Is
very highland some of the lowlands In
the Espanola valley are flooded. To-
days trains on the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad are being worked
through alright and no bridges are re-
ported as damaged or washed away.
THE STORM SOUTHEAST.
Southeast of this city along the line
of the Santa Fe Central Railway, il
commenced to clear Saturday morning
and no rain of any consequence fell
Yesterday on the Estancia Plains, but
much rain fell in the vicinity of Canon
cito, Galisteo, Kennedy, Cerrillos, Tur-
quesa and Lamy. The streams and ar
royos in that section were very high
Yesterday evening and last night. Much
damage was done to the grading work
of the Santa Fe Central Railway near
Kennedy station and for few miles
south of there.
The water stood over the tracks OF
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad and
along it's roadbed. There was also
much water in the vicinity Of Guada-
lupe church.

Special to the New Mexican.
San Marcial, N. M, June l5.-An-
other big rise is reported coming down
the Rio Grande today or tonight which
will probably do much damage to
property. The Santa Fe has a large
force of men making levees to protect
their tracks and citizens are aiding to-
ward the building Of the )evee to pro-
tect the city. A large flow of water is
reported from the mountains which Will
do no damage here, but old San Marcial
will be injured to some extent.

THE RESOLUTIONS.

First-After years of actual cbserya-
tion and experience, and supported by
the opinions OF all engineers, whether
from the engineer corps of the army,
or from civil life, who have been di-
rectly connected with the work of
1evee construction, We desire to affirm
that we have the most absolute conf
,dence in the suficiency of levees, when
built according to correct standards,
to protect the Mississippi valley from
overflow. >
In support of this declaration, we
beg leave to submit the following
facts which have been fully establish
ed: An elaborate and careful investi-
cation, made under the direction of
the Mississippi River Commission,
wholly disproves the notion, which
still prevails to a considerable extent,
that the immediate effect of levee
construction is to cause the bed Of
the Mississippi river to rise If this
were true, it would necessarily follow
that the levees would need to be con-
tinuously strengthened and elevated,
and thus all hope Of protection would
have to be abndoned.
In the years 1881, 1882 and 1883 an
elaborate survey was made of the river
bed from Cairo to the Passes, dis
lance Oh AUoS- miles. FOur CrOSS-SoC-
tions to the mile were made, and sew
enty-fve soundings were made to each
line. The result of this survey was
carefully plotted, recorded and pre-
served
In the years 1894, 1895 and 1896,
after the lapse of period Of thirteen
years, a still more elaborate survey
was made of that part of the river bed
between the Arkansas river and Don
aldsorville; La, distance of 472
miles. es -e.-
While local changes in the river bed
are necessarily constantly happening
by reason of the gradual movement
down stream Of the bends, and accom-
panying bars and pools, they of them
selves signify nothing. Yet com
parison such a3 that which has been
drawn from the result Of the two ex-
tensive surveys mentioned would
necessarily furnish proof that the bed
OF the river was rising IL such were
the truth. 80 far From the coanpafi-
son indicating such result from levee
constr6ction, Il was discovered that

During the consideration of the
resolutions many able speeches were
delivered by distinguished men from
all up and down the great river and its
different tributaries-most of them
for the resolutions as they came from
the committee, but one or two against
the idea of governmental control. The
overwhelming sentiment of the con-
vention, however, favored this idea,
and the resolutions we're finally adopt
ed as read, and the convention ad-
journed sine die.

ASAC S6ScAOlCU ana In
New Orleans last week. the. greatest
gether for a similar purpose in the his
tory of this or any other nation-the
meeting Of the Interstate Mississippi
River Improvement and Levee Asso-
caation. The occasion at the begin
ming was made notable on account of
the direct announcement by the presi-
dent of the United States of his SYM
pathy with the movement which the
convention proposed to fnaugurate,
and his manly and patriotic letter of
endorsement, which was read to the
convention by Chairman Parker, of
the Committee, = of Arrangements.
aroused the delegates to the very
highest pitch of enthusiasm.
The. delegates represented fifteen
States from the Mississippi and Ohio
valleys, and included governors, SEN
ators. members of congress, high rail-
road officials and representatives of
commercial exchanges and levee
boards. President Fish of the Illinois
Central railroad, Vice-President Thorn
OF the Texas Pacific, lesser officials of
other trunk lines entering New Or
leans, ex-Secretary of the Treasury
Chas. S. Fairchild, Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson, Judge Robert S. Tay-
lor of the Mississippi river commits
sion, Gov. Longino of Mississippi and
Gov. Heard of Louisiana, Senator Ber-
ry of Arkansas, Senators McEnery
and Foster of Louisiana, r. NJ. Ed
monds, editor of the Manufacturers
Record, and hundreds of others we're
present.
1t is believed many good and last
Ing results will come from this con-
ventiOn. The whole subject was more
thoroughly discussed than ever be-
fore, and it was the verdict of the
great body that the time had come
when the national government should
take hold of the levee system and
maintain it.
A new bond of unity was formed
between the Ohio and Mississippi val
1eys by the unanimous passage of the
resolution introduced by the Ohio val
ley delegates on the committee. plac-
Ing their interests on the same foot
ing with the lower Mississippi valley.
The Ohio Valley Improvement Asso-
ctation, which has already secured
over $22,O0O,00O Federal aid, and the
Mississippi River Improvement and
-Levee Association will now work hand
in hand and will go to Washington
with a solid front and one purpose in
view.
Federal control and the new alliance
with the Ohio valley were two of the
strong results of the convention.
Resolutions were adopted asking the
national government to take charge
of all the levee systems of the coun-
try and, agreeble to this, a commit
tee will go before the national con-
gress, bearing the resolutions Of the
body, asking for ultimate Federal con-
troll OF the levee systems and river i'm
prOvements of the Ohio and Missis-
sippi valleys, and urging immediate
and larger appropriations for the per-
fection of the levee system.
kilograms were read from twenty
governors and s125 United States con-
gressmen not only indorsing the work
of the convention, but also pledging
all possible support in Washington.
That fact almost insures favorable re-
suits when the committee goes to the
national capital. - :
