MICHIGAN RIVERS
ARE ON BIG HIGH
Flood Situation In the Peninsula
State Very Serious.
RIVER TOWNS ARE SUFFERING
At Some Points the Conditions Are
the Most Serious Encountered
by Flood in Many
Years.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March 26.-The
flood situation is very serious here.
Owing to the rapid rise of Grand river,
which is now three inches above the
high water mark Of three years ago,
at least forty of the largest factories
in the city have been obliged to close
and thousands of men are out of work.
Easements of all the large buildings in
the wholesale district are flooded, and
the damage is already very heavy. The
entire southwest section of the resi-
dence district is under water, and peo-
pie are using RATS to go about. Three
lives have been saved at Wealthy ave
nue.. A mar who came floating down
the river on a timber was hauled
ashore, and two boys were taken from
a drifting cake of ice.
other Towns Suffering.
Towns further up Grand river re-
port unprecedented floods.
At Lowell, one-third of the town is
under water. The Grand and Flat riv-
ers, which join there, are so swollen
that they meet in Main street, INT mile
from their regular confluence.
Portland reports the west side Of
the town is under water, and many
people have been rescued by boats.
At Lyons the water is three feet
deep in the village streets.

Hundreds of Homes at Grand Rap

The City In the GRASP of the Great-

The Bridges in Danger.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March 27.-On
the west side of Grand Rapids $500
residences are surrounded by water,
and the occupants are getting about 10
boats if at all. The Grand river con-
tinued to rise throughout the night,
until it has gone beyond the top of all
gauges and exceeded anything known
in the history of the river. A large
number of west side streets have be-
come veritable streams, with the water
rushing swiftly through them at a
depth of three to five feet. The Grand
goes through this city on a bend which
veers at the central part OF the city
toward the east. The river is tending
to make for itself a straight channel
In the northern part of the city, neal
the Grand Trunk bridge, the Grand has
sent out a channel due south instead
of following the usual bend, and the
water is sweeping down the north anc
south streets neal the river.
Many west side residents awoke Sat
urday morning to find their bedroom
floors covered with from one to five
inches of water, although Friday even
ing they had supposed their houses
were in no danger. Occupants of thu
flooded houses have moved their be
longings to the second stories, wher'
they will live until the flood recedes.
The bridges are in steadily increas
ing danger.

FIVE NEGROES
SHOT TO DEATH
Fatal Termination of Race Riot in
Arkansas.
NINE KILLED WITHIN A WEEK
Acgroes Were Taken From Officers
by Hob and RiddIed With Bull
Icts-Town Heavily
Guarded.

Little Rock, Ark, March 26.-Five
negroes who had been arrested as a
result of race troubles at st. Charles,
were taken from the guards by a crowd
of men and shot to death.
The victims were: Jim Smith, Char
lew Smith, Mac Baldwin, Abe Bailey
and Garrett Flood.
This makes nine negroes that have
been killed within a week near St.
Charles on account of racial troubles.
A few days ago a difficulty occurred
over a trivial matter at st. Charles be-
tween a white man of the name OF
Searcy and two negroes, Henry and
Walker Griffin.
On Monday the Grifins met Searcy
and his brother in a store in st.
Charles, and the quarrel was renewed.
One of the negroes, without warning,
struck both of the Searcy brothers
over the head with a table leg, render
ing them unconscious and fracturing
their skulls. One of them may die.
Deputy Sheriff James Kirkpatrick at
tempted to arrest the negroes and he
wa knocked down.
Many negroes then gathered and de-
fed the officers, declaring that no
white man could arrest them"
Their demonstrations aroused the
fears of the citizens of st. Charles, and
they telephoned to Dewitt for a posse
to protect the town. P. A. Douglass,
deputy sheriff, went out with five men
Wednesday morning. Constable l.. G.
McNeeiey went forward with a posse
to capture the Gritfins. The constable
met three negroes, Randall Flood, Will
Baldwin and Will Madison, in the
road. He inquired Of them if they
knew where the .Griffins were, and one
of them replied that they did, but
would tell no white man" adding an
oath. The negroes then attempted to
draw pistols, but the posse fired, kill
ing all three of them.
Friday 16 men left Dewitt for the
scene of the trouble. Large crowds
gathered in from Roe, Ethel and Clar-
endon. During the day, while the sher'
ifs posse was searching for the Grit
fin negroes they were fired on by
negro, Aaron Sinton, from ambush
Three of the posse were hit, but the
shot used was small, and no serious
damage resulted. The posse returned
the fire, and Sinton was shot down ant
Killed.
Five other negroes, Jim Smith
Charles Smith, Mack Baldwin, Abe Bal
ley and Garrett Flood, who were thu
negroes that had defied the officers
were arrested. Thursday night a crow
took them away from the guards an
shot them TO death.
It was reported late Friday evening
that the Griffin boys have been cap
Sured. If so, it probably means tina
they will be killed. Everything at st
Charles at this time is quiet, but thu
town is heavily guarded.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
A Matter of Great Interest to Work
ingmen Ignored by the Powers
at Washington.
N. Y. American.

The existing treaty of immigration
between China and the United States
expires December ., 1904, if six months
notice before that date is given by
either country. 1t is reasonably cer-
tain that China has, or will give, the
necessary formal notice, for as con-
strued by our government the Chinese
are entirely dissatisfied with the
treaty,
The Roosevelt administration seems
entirely oblivious to the Importance Of
immediate attention to this important
matter, for if the treaty expires and
10 other takes its place, either u
entire trade with China will be jeop-
ardized or the doors will have to be
open to unlimited Chinese immigra-
ton. 1t will be impossible to demand
of China the open door for Dur goods
and those of our people who wish to
go to that country and deny the Chi
nese similar favors.
The Roosevelt administration doubt
less does not wish the Chinese ques-
ton to be brought to the attention of
the country before the national cleo
ton, for the labor leaders are strongly
opposed to any Chinese immigration
and the labor vote must be conciliated
until after election. After election
always after election; the usual pro-
crastination on important matters
that politically cut two ways. How
will labor fare after election at the
hands of the republican politicians.
when the business interests are de-
handing the open door in China?
Will the interest of the ~workingman
and his anxiety for Chinese exclusion
be considered after election, when even
now the eight hour bill, the anti-in-
junction legislation and other cas-
ures favorable to labor, are hung up in
committees by the republican leaders
in congress?

Many Buildings Unroofed.
The roof of the main building at the
Industrial school of reform was blown
completely off, and a panic ensued
among the one hundred boys sleeping
in that section of the school. The boys,
when they heard the roar of the wind

gan a rush for the ground floor. They
were finally stopped without anyone
being injured. The building was flood
ed.
Two hundred and forty-ive inmates
of the Masonic Widows and Orphans

MOST SERIOUS IN CITY's HISTORY.
Battle Creek Suffering From an I'm
precedented Rise.

Battle Creek Suffering From an I'm
precedented Rise.
Battle Creek, Mich, March 26.-Flood
conditions here, as a result of the In
precedented rise of the Kalamazoo
river and Battle creek, are the most
serious in the history of the city. All
street cars are stopped by the high
water, the barns being flooded; the
three depots, the Grand Trunk, Mich
igan Central and Detroit, Toledo &
Muskegon, are surrounded several
inches deep with water, and one of
the three bridges connecting the bus
mess and residence sections of the city
has gone out.
Owners of uptown stores are moving
their stocks out of Easements and low
err floors, while many of the down.
town stores are already flooded, and
their owners are getting about in the
district with boats. 1t is feared that
the Kalamazoo river and Battle creek
will continue overlooking their banks
until the two streams meet.
Several bridges over the creek went
out during the night.

MIDDLE CLASS
What Should Be Done to Raise Wages
and Lower the Cost of
Living.

The New York Commercial, whose
animosity towards organized labor is
second only in intensity to it's zeal to
the cause Of the stand-patters, is tell
ing some important truths relative to
the situation confronted by many peo-
pie in New York and other cities. 1t
asserts that in the metropolis to-day
uncounted thousands of managers, &C.
countants, clerks, solicitors, engineers,
professional men, and small traders
are engaged in a struggle to make
both ends meet" that the marked and
very general advance in, foodstuffs has
raised the cost of living enormously
and that the salaries and the incomes
of these middle-class workers have
not been advanced at all.
Like most republican newspapers
and speakers, the Commercial does not
put the blame for the increased cost
Of living where it belongs-upon the
republican party, : which made the
Dingley tariff law, which is the mother
Of trusts, which now charge us monop-
oily ~prices-but upon that portion of
the strugglers who belong to trades
unions and who, during the last two
years, made som unsuccessful at
tempts to have their wages increased
somewhat in proportion to the in
creased cost of living. Just listen to
this good republican paper while it
berates organized labor:
"Tbe time is ripe for them to array
themselves against organized labor, to
stand shoulder to shoulder with the
employers who are now organizing
for resistance to the aggressions Of
the labor unions. Unionism is fatten-
ing on their misery. How long will
they endure it,"
If the w%orkingmen know their own
interests they will this year vote with
the party that is striving to reduce tar
if duties and to thus greatly cripple
the trusts and lower the cost of living.
This will not only virtually raise
wages, indirectly, but it will lead to
greater consumption and production
of goods. This means more demand
for workers and therefore higher
wages.
Workingmen, think of these things
before you cast your votes this year.

Democracy's Opportunity.

An army of republican voters the
length and breadth Of the land stand
ready to follow a strong, sound and
conservative democratic leadership
into the battle against the machine
which seeks to p%erpetuate the cor.
ruption, protection and extortion by
which it thrives. 1t will not be for
want of opportunity if democracy fails.
1t is the party of potential relief. Let
it develop strength in proportion to
responsibility; let 1t coordinate its
forces; let it shoulder the demands of
the people, discarding selfish and fool
ish leaders and factional disturbances.
Cohesion can only come through q
barking back to the good old-fashion'

which compel the country's respect.
