WATER STILL RISING.
Androscoggin Near High Water Mark
of 1896 Freshet.

Lewiston. Me-, April 15.-The An
droscoggn river, Thursday noon, was
within three feet of being as high as
The highest point reached in the memo
'ablc freshet in early March, 1896,
when both passenger bridges between
Lewiston and Auburn were swept away
and unprecedented damage was done.
At noon the water was going steadl-
ly higher with the indications that it
would not reach the maximum before
early Friday morning.
1t is probable that little damage will
be done, for the ice is out, and the rise
has been gradual and extended over
period Of lays. The rain of Wednesday
and Wednesday night has been the ad-
ded impetus that has sent it to a height
not known for the past few years. and
the sight of the water tumbling over
the middle rock of the falls vividly
brings to mind the exciting scenes of
10 years ago.

TREASURY ESTIMATES.

Washington, April 15.-Treasury es =
Inmates for the fiscal year beginning
July l., 1910, must be ready for sub
mission to Secretary MacVeagh on
May next, six and a half months
earlier than estimates for former years.
Orders to this effect by Secretary Mac
Veagh are in conformity with Presi-
dent Taft's expressed wish and in line
with action taken at the navy depart
ment by Secretary Meyer. Secretary
MacVeagh is aware that it will be i'm
possible in the short time allowed to
make complete and accurate state
ment of treasury needs for the year
beginning IA months hence. but has no
doubt there will be sufficient data
available to form fair basis for study
and comparison with former years. MI.
MacVeagh purposes to make a thor
ough examination into the treasury re-
quirements with view to reducing
expenditures to the minimum.
Chiefs of the various bureaus of the
navy were in conference with Sec.
Meyer today for an hour and half dis
cussing the estimates of expenditures
which will be required for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1910.
