SITUATION At MEMPHIS.
Mississippi River There Continues to
Rise Steadily.


Memphis, Tenn, March 12.-The
Mississippi river is rising steadily at
This point. Reports from Mississippi
and Arkansas indicate that the gravest
apprehension prevails regarding the
Hood situation. In some districts
armed sentries are patrelling the
levees. All rivers and streams in Ar
Kansas are Overfiowing. In North Men,
phis the food has already begun en-
croaching at certain points and it
will take but a few more inches of
water to render work impossible at
many of the lumber industries in that
section of the city. At Greenlaw and
Second streets the backwaters have
reached the latter thoroughfare. The
occupants of cabins there have been
compelled to fee to higher ground.
The steamer Georgia Lee arrived
teOm Cairo during the day. The
steamers officers say refugees from
the lowlands are to be seen every
where. The government engineers
have augmented their forces and the
steamers are carrying sacks Of sand
to the more dangerous places in the
levee system.

Washington, March 12-At the

Mr.. Allison Ua.) offered a resolution
which, he said. he thought was proper
at this time, authorizing the commit

provides tndt the committee is author

conclusions as soon as practicable
after the beginning Of the session next
December. The resolution was re-

modification of article % so as to
place the control of the canal in Amer
ican hands. There is general COM
plaint among the Democrats that the
provisions of that article preclude
the possibility of protecting the cana.
by American arms in case the neces-
sity for doing SO should arise. II is
said, however, that no amendments
will be offered by the Democrats as
party unless the support of all the
Democratic senators can be assured in
advance, While practically all of
them are said now to be favorable to
an amendment that will give the Unit
ed States control of the canal it is
understood that many, especially
among the Southern senators. say
that il this or other amendments shall
be offered and rejected they will re-
serve the right to vote for the treaty
in the end.
Leading senators are more conf dent
than they have yet been of securing
an early agreement to vote upon the
Panama canal treaty and the opinion
is freely expressed among them that
the final test will be reached not later
than next Saturday. Senator Morgan
was in conference during the day with
President Pro TEN. Frye and other
prominent senators and the indications
are that he will be allowed to print his
