RIVERS ARE RISING RAPIDLY.
Cause Apprehension Among Owners
of Crafts Moored Along Banks
Here.
INCIDENTS OF THE STORM.

Jerday mOrnlng-2.SO inches FELL. In
the last as hours, $40 inches have
fallen. All this rain here in the win
ter is worrying the older weather
prophets, who see in it possible
drouth next summer. The records
show that this winter has been unus-
ual in the depth of rainfall.
On the Rivers.
Within 3 Of feet was the rise in
the river since yesterday morning.
The stage this morning was 30.5.
Rainfall in the last "a hours was
$50 inches. The river already is up
to the Illinois Central trestle and
prospects are for a regular SPRING
time rise.
Much trouble and expense have re-
suited on the river from the heavy
rainfall in barges. All the coal barges
and tie barges, in fact, every open
river craft has gotten a large quanti-
ty of water in It. and today several
boats are busy pumping out. The
Ayer-Lord Tie company have had to
keep two towboats busy pumping at
their large fleet tied to ovens Is
land.
The heavy rise last night caught
some lumber which gangs of men are
moving back today safe distance
from the rivers edge. The rise here
will be unusually heavy because not
only the Ohio river is rising rapidly
in the upper course, but the Tonnes
see, Cumberland and Wabash rivers
are booming, with the necessity of
all that water converging and pass
ing this point. The night watchmen
on the river who heretofore have
slumbered peacefully through the
might, are forced to keep awake in
order to prevent their boats breaking
loose in the river as yet. Across on
the Illinois side, only the tops Of
trees can be seen and the current in
the river Is fierce. The Bette owen
has to find a new landing every day
as the river rises over the one yes
terday every night. The pumpkin pa
rade has not started. either from the
supply having been exhausted in the
last two rises, or because the river
has not risen high enough to get

Beaver Carried Away.

Somewhere from the inland creeks
poor little beaver was carried
away from his home, and he was seen
about O'Clock this morning swim
ming about as If dazed by his unfa-
miliar surroundings at the first cul-
vert under the Illinois Central tracks
south OF Tennessee street. Boys got
after the beaver but he disappeared.
They played about the culvert for
some time in the hope Of catching
him.

This morning the Jefferson school
building was again cold and the
doors closed. because the basement
is still flooded and It is impossible to

MikadO' S
MiddieS
And MCDuff
JAP MEMO -WARSMEN SURROUND
GIANT AND SIZE HIM UP.

Arthur McDuffie, formerly a police
special something like 6 feet inches
in length, somewhere near feet beam
and not far from IS inches depth of
hold and 245 pounds displacement when
cleared for action, stood last evening
on the corner of Hotel and Nuuanu
streets and watched the little white
clad Japanese memo warsmen march,
ing up the avenue with the glory of
the setting -sun-lit harbor back of them,
There were two or three friends with
McDuff, but Mac was the biggest thing
in sight and soon he caught the curious
gaze of half dozen midshipmen from
the Japanese squadron.
The Mikado's men crossed the street
and stood at a respectful distance from
the big American, cycling him from
stem to stern, apaft, forward and also
athwartships. 1t is safe TO say that
three of them combined were little
more than the size of McDuttie.
Pipe the Roosevelt cousins giving
me the survey" said McDuffie to his
friends Il wonder what they're assim-
Hating like this around me for. Do
1 look like Japanese Mickydoo, tell me
now?" He was assured he bore no re-
semblance to a San Francisco school
puzzle
One of the Japanese stepped for
ward, bowling and sucking the wind in
through his prominent teeth. "Mph!
Mph'" he said and stroked McDuffie on
the back of the hand, counting his
fingers and spanning his great wrist.
Quit, that, you tickle" giggled Nc
Duffie run away now and try. your
counting in the Robins egg blue cham
ber."
The broad smiles of McDuftie as
sured the Japanese that he was not an
CRY and they approached in punches,
until some forty or fifty midshipmen
surrounded him and policemen NOV
ed little further off to watch for
trouble
To cut long story in double, the
Japanese felt McDuffie all over, pinch
ing his biceps, measuring his shoulders
chest waist calves, hips and feet. They
stood a-tip-toe and measured his neck.
They took off their hats and indicated
on his chest their own small height.
They lifted his arms to see how high
he could reach on the telephone pole
adjoining, all the time watching his
face to see that the smile was still
there
McDufie placed a dollar on the back
of his hand and tipped it in the air by
a twitch of a tendon, the hand remain
ing steady, He did the same thing
with a watch. The Japanese all tried
the trick i'm vain. When they had
done examining the giant they bowed
politely, grinning, and walked away in
a body, gesticulating and no doubt Won
dering If there were many more at
home like Mac.

SOIOns May
Disagree
With Jack
MISUNDERSTANDING HAS ARISEN
BETWEEN SOME OF THE MEM
BEERS

Secretary Atkinson is likely to be
| the center of the first incident"
with the legislature. In fact, the
Secretary and Congress stand quite a
chance of being told to take their
money and go. According to the
sentiment of some members of the
! legislature, the $4,000 appropriated
| by Congress to pay the expenses OF
the regular session of the legisla-
ture may not be accepted. Two rea-
sons for refusing this assistance, are
assigned. One is based rather upon
a sense of dignity while the other
lies is a slightly more material OBJ
lection.
1t is claimed that when the appro-
priation was originally urged upon
| Congress, it was represented that the
| Home Rulers were in control of the
( Legislature, and that there was the
possibility of the taxpayers being
mulched for an extra session. Therefore
when Congress passed the special APP
preparation of $4,000, there was a pro-
viso tackled on to the item. eliminating
any extra session or else the appropria-
ton would not be available.
But times have changed now, and
a higher political tone prevails a
number of the members of the legis-
lature consider that the appropria-
ton in its present shape, is a re-
Election upon the political integrity
of the Senate and House members;
and the dignity of both bodies should
be sustained by declining to accept
the appropriation, under the condi-
tons imposed.
The other objection is said to be
against Secretary Atkinson. The Sc
cretary is the disbursing agent Of
the United States, in this matter. He
has already 100000 of the fund on
deposit at the First National Bank.
He is taking the position, so some of
the members of the Senate assert,
that he should have supervision ov-
er the various expenses of the legis-
| lature by having the expenses submit
! ted to him. The sentiment of some,
seems to he that the Legislature
should not allow the Secretary to hold
such relation to them, and that
two branches of the Legislature
should solely look after the eNpens-
| es.
Whether this claim, relative to The
position of the Secretary, is entirely
correct, can not be stated. But in
any event, the Secretary rightfully
considers that he is responsible to
Congress for the expenditure of the
appropriation. In justice to himself
he considers that he should be ac-
mainted with the character of the
expenses he is to pay with the mo
ney entrusted to him. However, the
matter may be settled later, after
conference between the Secretary an
representatives of the House and Sen
ate, so that a complete understanding
regarding his position, may be reach
ed.
