FLOATING BODIES FOUND.

The river situation in the Memphis district has become critical. The "Father of Waters" has reached stage of 39.7 feet, which is the highest water ever yet recorded at Memphis.
 It was thought at first that the break in the levee Monday night at Trice's Landing would help matters by re- lieving the pressure of the water and causing fall at this point. Instead of this, the break has complicated con ditions by flooding vast area in Ar kansas across the Mississippi from Memphis, and tonight a veritable sea exists in the St. Francis and Mississlp- pi river basins, extending from one 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 today and no assistance can be render ed by the railroad, it's tracks being un- derawater near Marion Ark.
 A few floating bodies have been found at various points by the rescu- ing boats, but the number has not yet been alarming. A true estimate of the loss of life from the flood can never be made, as the sections flooded are so vast in area and the population so widely dispersed that nothing like a census can be made.

SENATE DEFEATS KEEL BILL.

Little Rock, Mar. 18.-The senate yesterday, by a vote of 13 to g, tabled the Keel antitrust bill, which is fac simile of the King bill, passed by the senate and pending in the house.
 The senate also indefinitely post poned the Toney anti-spotting bill.
 A lively discussion occurred in the senate over the bill of Mr. Campbell of Pulaski for redigesting the statutes of Arkansas and providing for the ap- pointment of a digester by the su- preme court. The lines were drawn sharply on the issue of the governors appointing power, but the advocates of the bill were in the majority and they succeeded in making the bill a special order for today.
 The house took up Senator Price's worlds fair appropriation bill and re- duced the proposed appropriation from $77, ,123.19 to $5O,00O. As amend ed the bill was made a special order for Friday.
 The house indefinitely postponed Senator Killough's bill for the pro- tection of fish.
 Senator Vaughter's bill to legalize primary elections and Senator Gov ington's bill to increase the state mine inspectors salary to $2,O0O per an mum were defeated in the house.

BRUNDIDGE SAYS
 CLARKE BLUNDERED.

Congressman s. Brundidge of Scar cy while in Little Rock Tuesday gave out an interview to the Democrat in which he said that Senator J. H. Berry requested him to carry Senator elect J. P Clarke proffer of his services, in accord with senatorial courtesy, to escort him to the presidents desk when he was to be sworn in. He waited in the senate for him an entire day, but Mir. Clarke was delayed and did not come. When he did arrive the mission was performed by Con- gressman McRae, and as has been told in the public prints, the offer was re- fused. Mir. Brundidge said in discuss ing the incident: tI am sorry Sena- tor Clarke adopted such course. It was mistake, and will follow him for long time. He will find that he cannot represent his people alone. There must be unity and harmony of action among the colleagues to ac' complish the best results"

SHREWD WESTERNER
 SECURES BACKING.

New York, March 16.-E. J. Short, from Tulsa, l. T., came to New York little over five weeks ago, carrying small dress suit case in which there were few bundles of papers and maps. Since then Mir. Short has sue ceeded in financiering the Arkansas, Missouri & Kansas railroad, of which he is vice president, for $13, 100000.
 As an example for Eastern enter prise and financial diplomacy this is unequalled When the man from In- dian Territory landed here he didn't know a business mau in this city. He had in his pocket papers giving him the right to use his own discretion in financiering the road, and to sign the necessary documents for the company. He also had the personal card of William F. Ellis, of the Interstate Trust Company, whom he had once met casually in the West.
 Short looked up MT. Ellis, and through him gained the necessary backing. Three local trust companies put up $6,5OO,OOO of it. The other half was furnished by London syn dicate acting through the Canadian Bank. The railroad is to run from Memphis, Tenn to Chanute, Kas., passing through Joplin, Mo, the min ing city.

PROGRESS OF WORK
 ON WHITE RIVER LINE

Forsythe, Mo, March 17.-Ground was broken Thursday by the Kenetick- Hammond construction company for the White river line tunnel at the head of Turkey creek on the Fancy county line at which point big camp has been established. Several stocks of general merchandise are being opened up in roughly constructed buildings, while cheap board struct- ures are being erected for saloons, stores and bank. Fancy is the only county between Baxter county, Ark, and Lawrence county, Mo, where liquor can be sold, and as the big tun- nels and most of the heavy construc- ton and bridge work will be either close to the south and west edge or along Turkey and Roark creeks and at White river in Fancy county, it is expected that if the county court will grant licenses the saloon feature will be strongly in evidence.
 Jess Tolerton of Forsythe has been awarded the contract for construction of a telephone line connecting the various tunnel camps with the Bell system at Ozark. John Wade will likely accept contract to furnish fuel for the various steam plants operat- ing the tram roads, electric dynamos and compressed air drills at the three big tunnels. Some idea of the ex- pense of constructing these tunnels can be inferred from the fact that seventy five cords of wood will be re- quired per day to keep up steam in the various power plants.
