from the sewers into most of the Mar
ket street places while some of the
Main street stores can stand a stage of
16 feet before they will be bothered.
The rise of the river is attracting a
great many to the Market street bridge
and in other parts of the city many
are viewing the stream. Especially
noticeable is the rise in the river
when one looks to the south side of the
stream in the vicinity of the Wabash
railroad bridge and near the base ball
park. The water in that section and
through the lower places on the south
side is spreading out in dangerous
looking manner and If the rains con-
tinue considerable damage to growing
stuffs in those parts may be expected
In the east Of the city toward Cliff
land the raise of a foot will overflow
the farm land that takes up numerous
acres In that vicinity.
Ten Feet Under 1902 Mark.
The stage of the water at 2:3O p. m.
lacked but ten feet of the high water
mark of June /, 1908, which totally
eclipsed that CT 1897 and 1892. The
conditions at this time are not the
same in regard to rainfall as those OF
the previous years of high water and
the feeling generally is that no great
danger is likely to result from the
water stage. Many of the merchants
who suffered in previous years from
the water coming into the cellar OF
their stores, have since arranged their
stocks until but little stuff that might
be damaged by water remains in the
cellars. Many of the stores have
stored their surplus in upper stories tc
avoid loss from high water.

ARGUMENT AGAINST
 REDUCING TARIFF
Steamer Quickly Sunk
 Alter Collision M Fog

Chatham, Mass, March 10-Blanketed by dense fog and proceeding at half speed, the steamers Horatio Hall of the Maine Steamship company, from Portland for New York, and the H. F. Dimock of the Metropolitan line, from New York to Boston, met in the middle of the narrow channel known as Pollock Rip Slue today with crash that sent the Hall to the bottom within half an hour and caused the Dimock to run ashore six hours later on Cape Cod beach, where the passengers and crew of the Hall were landed un- harmed
 A wireless message which the operator of the sinking Hall managed to send broadcast spread the news of thee col lision, which occurred at a. m., but as he failed to give the position, details of the disaster did not become known until the Dimock came ashore half mile south of the Orleans life saving station shortly after D. m. During the six hours of si lence half hundred wireless stations, government, professional and amateur, from Portland to New London, were vain ly endeavoring to obtain some news of the wreck, while the revenue cutter Gresham Scurried up and down the coast in a vain effort to render assistance.
 As the fog cleared away in the early afternoon the Dimock was seen head ing for the beach and half an hour later a boat crew with the five passen- gers from the Hall, including two wom- en, landed safely on Cape Cod beach

SENATOR BAILEY
 GOES TO SEE TAFT

Washington. March 10.-(Special.) J. Faces which have not been seen at the White House for many years-to be more exact since President Mckinley was sassinated-were in evidence to- day. The most conspicous among them was that of Senator Bailey of Texas. The Texas senator was among the first who called this morning to pay his respects to the President.
 All through the Roosevelt adminis tration surprisingly large number of members of Congress. mostly from the south, gave the White House a wide berth. All of them of course had executive business which they trans acted exclusively through the mails. Quite a few of the southern members severed relations with the White House following the former Presidents recog milton of negro social equality in the Booker Washington dinner. However, everyone Is glad over the turn of events, the southern members espe- cially.
