.SfVASTOPOL REBELS
 Al WEAKENING POINT
Though in Control of the Situation
 They are Disintegrating.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 2S.-(3:10 a. m.)-Though the mutineers of Se- vastopOl are still masters of the sit uation at Admiralty Point and though armed parties apparently have free access to the town, notwithstanding the announcement by the authorities that the roads leading to it are block aded, dispatches received yesterday from Vice Admiral Choukin, com manding the Black Sea fleet, present the situation in an optimistic light. These dispatches which were read in an extraordinary council of the ad- miralty, declare that most of the mu- tineers have decided to surrender their arms, though such action involves trial for mutiny before a court martial. This confirmed in part a dispatch to the Novoe Vremya which says the spirit of the mutineers is failing and that several bodies have already sur rendered.
 On the other hand, dispatches to the Associated Press from Sevastopol say that revolutionary orators succeeded in winning over a battalion of reserv ists and that in spite of the arrival of endorsements to the number of several thousand, authorities did not dare interfere with a review held by the mutineers before the cathedral of St. Vladimir which is in the heart of the town So far as known most of the demands of the mutineers have to do with service conditions, includ- ing the release of the reservists who have served their time, increase of pay, increase of allowance for food, and tho removal of alleged incOmDe- tent and brutal officers.

AN EVASION
 OF TAXATION
The New York Life Shifted
 Things About
This and Other Transactions Which Found no Record on the Company's Books.

New York, Nov. 27.-One of the most interesting features of the life in surance investigation developed only a few minutes before the adjournment of the Armstrong committee today, when Theodore F. Banta, cashier of the New York Life testified that in the beginning of 1901, Edmund L. Ran dolph, treasurer of the company, open ed the vaults of the company, removed New York city stock valued at $70O, 900 and put a check of the Central Ma tional bank for $7OOOOO in its place.
 Banta said he helped open the vault at the order of Randolph and that he supposed Randolph acted for the fin ance committee. The stock was kept out a few days and then returned and the check was withdrawn. The tran saction was not recorded on the books of the company so far as Banta knows. The effect of the operation was that any one having that stock would get $700,000 worth of untaxable property at the end of the year. Banta did not know who received the stock. Randolph is expected to be one of the witnesses tomorrow
 President Mccall told the committee today that he had told the Central Ma , tionl bank and F. E. Mccall that Judge Andrew Hamilton was good for 900 and that they had taken Hamilton s notes. Mccall said the New York Life owed Hamilton $56,310 and took the syndicate profits to pay him. The result was that the payment did not appear on the books of the company. The reason was he wanted to keep Hamilton's expenses down.
 Much evidence given by George w. Perkins and President Mccall about the New York Security and Trust company's participation in the United States Steel Corporation syndicate to the extent of $S0,250,00O having de- posits in the New York Life in that amount. The New York Life got se- venty-five per cent of the profits and Perkins cOntended that it was a safe and profitable venture. Mccall said the life insurance company participat- ed directly instead of indirectly.

Raging Flood of the Verde Pouring Head
 long Through the Valley
Though There is Great Damage to Property Loss Life sReported- Anxious Watching Last Night Against Re-nforcements From the Salt

Arizona, and particularly this DOT ton of it, could not suffer as much from drouth in the same length of time as is is now enduring from an over abundance of rain ard flood waters. Phoenix is greatly depressed by the present state of affairs, and still more by the forbidding prospect for the next few days. It was decided yesterday that it was positively necessary to postpone the territorial fair and that date was moved up to the week be . ginning with Christmas day.
 Two of the railroad bridges at Tempe were put out of business yesteT day morning and last evening there was grave fear that the new steel structure of the M. & P. would sue cumb to higher water, driftwood and the possible further breaking up of the old bridge above. The Western Union wires across the old bridge were down all day yesterday and last night. In addition to this there was great anX- iety last night for the safety of those living on the lower lands adjacent to Salt river and the possible inundation of the lower parts of Phoenix.
 The river was higher than at any time since the settlement of this coun- try ey the WhIless except duTlnS me flood of 1891 and last evening it was rapidly approaching that disastrous point and still rising. It was generally believed the flood of yesterday was due in the main to rains melting the snow on the Verde watershed and an- other big flood was reported to be com ing down Salt river. If the Verde wa ters should be disposed of before the arrival of the water from the upper Salt comparatively little damage may be done but if the Verde remains high also, this morning may disclose much destruction, and possible loss of life.
 A VERDE FLOOD.
 It has been raining more or less for a week or so and continuously for the last two days. Previous to that there were heavy snowfalls in the hills. The
Arizona republican., 1905-11-28

warm rain of Sunday undoubtedly melted much snow on the Verde wa tershcd causing the big rise yesterday. There is presumably equally as much snow on the Salt river watershed and about noon yesterday a telephone mes sage from Roosevelt announced that the water there was eight feet higher than it was last spring and that the suspension foot bridge had been swept away. Shortly after that the telephone went out of business and no further information was avail able from that source. All that can be done is to listen to To speculations of those who are familiar with condi- tions and are competent to theorize.
 It is calculated that the water pass ing Roosevelt yesterday ought to reach this section about noon today. If the Verde river discharges it~ hirhest flood during the night there will probably be no more danger today than existed last night and perhaps not as much but if the Verde's swollen condition lasts through this forenoon and an additional flood of unknown size is added to it from upper Salt river, there may be very serious trouble befora morning.
 CONDITIONS AT THE DAM.
 The Arizona dam is no longer useful as a basis of calculation. At noon yes terday the gauge at that point showed ten feet over the point where the crest of the dam ought to be and a little la ter it rose to eleven feet. Still later it was eleven feet and a half. But from conditions that have prevailed there during the last six months and the quantity Of driftwood that came down the river yesterday it is the general opinion that the dam is all gone though nobody could see even if he were on the ground. Assuming that the dam is gone the channel is naturally several feet deeper than before so an accurate measurement would add several feet to what appears on the gauge During the flood of 1891 the water was seven teen or eighteen feet over the dam. By adding five feet to the eleven feet and a half shown on the gauge, the flow iii the river last night is found to have been alarmingly near to the figures of 1891, and with the Roosevelt flood still to hear from.

A TUMBLlNG FANNY WASTE OF WATER

the Arizona canal, not far from the point where the canal finally leaves it's parallel course with the river and turns west. The message was that the river was getting dangerously near to the machinery and instructions were sent to jack the dynamos up as high as possible to prevent their being flooded. A later report that the river was still rising, called out instructions to the employees of the company there to move their families to higher ground and prepare for a real flood.
 The situation yesterday looked bad to even conservative persons and in the afternoon Acting Mayor Moss, Su- perVisor John P. Orme, R. H. Collins, Dan McDernott and others, rode out to the joint head between Phoenix and Tempe, to look over conditions there and along the levee constructed from that point along the Phoenix side of | the river to the south, during the flood of 1891. The river has widened at that point, on the other side, since 1891, which is that much better in the event of a record breaking flood but still the water was up within two or three feet | of the top of the levee. If the levee holds and the water gets but little higher, all will be well, but if break occurs, there is no telling what will happen. Messrs Moss and Orme em- ployed two men to walk the levee last night and in the event of danger, to telephone the sheriff from a near by farm house.
 At the joint head MT. McDarmott and MT. Collins devoted themselves stren- uously to fencing the water out. The river which parallels the ditch little way below the headgate, was within two or three feet of breaking through the ditch bank. For fear that it might eventually do so MT. McDermott and Mr. Collins set about building tap poon or temporary dam in the ditch a few hundred yards further down. 4 load of lumber was sent out and reach ed there about seven o'clock last night. It was proposed to put a frame work across the ditch then fill it in with brush and whatever might be available to stop the water.
 Earlier in the day Lincoln Fowler, president of the Appropriators canal company drove up toward the head of that ditch. He found perhaps a thou
 sand dollars worth of damage done be-
 tween the railroad tracks and the head ! by the encroachment of the river upon the canal along Indian slough. West
 of the railroad tracks he found that the
 river had submerged the flat and eaten away the south bank of the ditch for I some distance. This damage he esti .
 mates will not exceed $500 and can be quickly repaired when the river re- cedes. At present it all looks like the , ocean.

Facts as to Cotton Farming.

The DEVELOPMENT of the institu-
ton of slavery brought about some
radical changes in the economic sit
uation of the States in which it
grew:
1t stopped immigration;
1t developed a constant tide of
emigration;
1t dried up manufactures;
1t dried up commerce.;
1t destroyed public education for
all the people.
After the fall of the institution
the slave States faced right about
again in all these matters.
Manufactures are re-established !;
Commerce has revived;
Emigration has ceased to North
ern and Western States;
immigration from Northern and
Western States is now well in mo-
ton and the immigration into the
South of European emigrants is now
an attractive proposition;
Cotton is again king.
Here in the South is to-day the
fairest haven for the farmer of the
Northwest, or from Europe, who
wishes to better his condition.

Cotton Fluctuations and the Causes.
Lenoir Co., n. G.

For extreme fluctuations of senti-
ment and values, not many parallels
can be found to the cotton trade of
the past eighteen months. 1t was in
February of last year that the cot
ton-consuming world appeared to
have reached the conclusion that the
American crop would never, there
after, much exceed the 100000
bales of 1903, and that this was not
enough to meet the worlds require
ments Spinners shut down their
mills; British associations began ur-
gent discussion as to how new cotton
growing areas-in Africa or South
America-might be developed; spec
uIatOrs carried the price to 173s cents
pound, where a 10-cent price had
for years been considered high. This
episode was Immediately followed by
an American crop, last autumn,
which exceeded 13,500,000 bales, as
against a previous maximum of H.
10000. Instantly the market changed
Its tone. Lamentation arose about
The reckless ''Over-production" of cot
ton; Southern Congressman charged
the Department of Agriculture with
ezaggerating wickedly in its esti-
mates. \ planters convention at
New Orleans demanded that cotton
growers cut down their acreage 25

If there is no law by which Holmes
can be reached for indirectly robbing

ought to be made that will reach

PROGRESSIVE FARMER AND COTTON PLANT

urged, but there has been a cut of
1138 per cent, and on top of this
have come weather vicissitudes, leav-
ing the crops condition, at the close
of June, at II per cent of perfect,
where SO was the figure named
year ago. This, and the reaction of
feeling from last winters wholly un-
warranted pessimism, are the ground
for the excitement in the market. 1t
will be observed that, from Deem
ber's price of 67s cents, Mondays
market went up to 1912 cents. In

Turkeys stuffed by Machine.

In England turkeys are generally
sold according to the rule Of weight
per pound. price per pound. That is
% say, if bird weighs II pounds, it
is sold at "a cents per pound; if its
weight is IA pounds, at 2S cents per
pound, and so on.
Naturally, all breeders endeavor to
make their turkeys as plump and
heavy as possible before sending them
to market. Systems Of fattening are
extensively carried ON among poultry
farmers, turkeys being put into pens
and fattened for a period varying from
three to ten weeks, either by hand or
with machine.
The machine mostly used for this
purpose consists Of a brass nozzle
which is inserted in the mouth OF the
bird-attached to piece Of India rub
Der tubing, and connected with a cylin-
der.
In this cylinder is supply of liquid
food, made of buckwheat or some 9th
