Attacked and PIundered at Burduz.
heni, They Flee to Itazkani.

Vienna-According to a telegram
received here from Czernowits, an
Austrian town close to the boundary
of Moldavia, Roumania, advices have
been received there from the Austrian
frontier police stationed at Itazkani
and Suczawa that the a%nti-Jewish out
break in Roumania IS assuming seri.
GUS proportions. Peasants have at
tackled and plundered Jews at Burduz.
heni, who are fleeing over the frontier
to Itazkani. About 1000 fugitives,
mostly women and children, already
have crossed the frontier. Other re.
ports declare that further serious dis.
turbances have occurred at Botosahni,
where the peasants have set fire to
the houses of Jews and as a result
the entire town Is in flames.
The Hebrew alliance of Vienna Is pre-
pairing to take "a of the Roumania
fugitives.

unless the roads see fit to make the
men a better offer, some radical action
will be taken. The matter now rests
in the hands of the grand lodges of
the two brotherhoods. If they wish to
order a strike, it will be in their pow
er to do SO. Possibly, however, they
may decide to recommend another
vote rather than start a strike which
will tie up every railroad in the west.
The practically unanimous rejection
by the men of the railroads present
proposition, which carries with it an
increase in wages of about s per cent,
is believed to have the effect of forcing
their officers into a radical position
1t Is said the officers will not dare
to recommend another vote, unless the
railroad companies make a better Of
fer.
Several members of the employees
committee seem to think the roads
will come forward with a compromise
offer, which will give the men about
10 per cent advance in pay. In that
case, the outlook for a p~eaceable solu-
ton of the problem would be favor
able.

MORE HIGH WATER
SECTIONS OF CALIFORNIA SUE.
FER FROM FLOODS.
SERIOUSLY AFFECT COMMUNICATION
Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers
at High Water stage--Much
Damage viii Result.

San Francisco-The heavy rains OF
the last four days in California have
resulted in serious food stages in the
Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers
and flood warnings have been issued
regularly, beginning with Sunday
evening, March II. At many points
along the tributary streams the stages
of water are the highest on record,
and along the main streams the situa.
ton is very grave.
The Feather river at Oroville is fall
ing and 1t is thought that the danger
point has been passed. Some of the
stores and buildings of the town are
flooded, and much damage Will result.
Many of the residents sought shelter
in the churches and public halls, aban.
doning their personal effects. No loss
of life has yet been reported.
Traffic Is Interrupted.
Railroad and telegraph communica.
lions are interrupted III all directions.
At Logan's Ferry, in Monterey county,
the Southern Pacific track has been
covered to a depth of 20 feet by a
landslide, interrupting all traffic on
the coast division of that line. Trains
on all lines are being held up, and
the departures of many have been can
celed indefinitely.
Forecast Official Meade states that
the brunt of the storm has now passed
northern California points aud is mov-
ing southwark.
Reports received from Stockton
state that at Lockwood the water had
risen three feet and a half in three
hours and that three bridges had been
washed out. At Stockton d general
flood seems inevitable and the public
schools have been dismissed. Yuba
City is now submerged to the depth
Of three or four feet. Heavy rains
in the Sacramento valley have blocked
traffic on the Southern Pacific lines to
the east by way of Ogden and no
trains are running. In addition to the
washout near Floriston, there is q
blockade at Summit caused by the col
lapse of a portion of the snowshed.
Telegraph wires are down over the
mountains and no information can be
gotten east of Cisco.
Yuba River Still Booming.
At Marysville the Yuba river is still
booming, but the worst is believed to
be over. All of the bridges near the
city have been washed out except the
Southern Pacific railroad bridge. a
portion of the city and the surround.
ing lowlands are covered with water,
but the flood is not expected to extend.
The Valley line is clear and trains
are running to Los Angeles, but the
coast line is blocked at Pajaro by
washouts.
