HUDSON RISING

Albany, March 2S-Scores of cities and towns throughout the Mohawk and Hudson valleys are partially in flood in years. The waters of the Mo hawk river were reported as receding this morning, but the Hudson river continues to rise and already has shattered the high water mark of 1857. The local weather bureau reported in ability to get information from vari- ous points to which messages were sent.
 All the lower section of Albany is under water and hundreds of families have been forced to leave their homes. A cold wind added to the discomfort of the homeless. Business houses have been forced to close, trolley traf- fic is practically at a standstill, rail road schedules have been disarranged and navigation on the Hudson has been suspended.

RIVER CUT CITY IN TWO

New York, March 2s-Late advices concerning conditions at Dayton were received at the offices of the Ameri- can Telephone & Telegraph Co.,, here, today, from a station of the company fin Phoneton, just north of Dayton.

NIT that we are either on the brink of
slavery or have 1t in our midst al

We are prone to find some method
or form of self justification when
face to face with conditions we know
are wrong, and yet lack the manhood
or sincerity Of our convictions
to dare to call such conditions
as exist in our country by their
proper names. However, indi-
vidual conduct cannot change the
fact that certain political and social
expressions cannot exist except they
reflect themselves In the conduct and
temperament of the people whom
they influence and control
It may be presumptious on my
part to say that tyranny does exist
in this country, but to those who
deny it / wish to say that history
proves that discomfort Is coincident
with tyranny and continues as long
as tyranny exists. How then can we
account for the prevalence of dis
content to such an extent that even
some of the most conservative men
in the country have called attention
to the fact that conditions need
remedying, and that quickly.

RAILROAD PEACE
is AGAIN in PERIL
Federal Mediator Calls the Situation at
Present a Critical
One.

New York, July 26.-When the federal
board Of mediation met the managers OF
the forty three eastern railroads in the
hotel Manhattan yesterday, it was ex-
pected the outcome would be that an
arbitration agreement would be closed
before nightfall. Instead of that, when
the two parties separated at | o'clock,
g. w. w. Hanger OF the mediation board
said:
"1he situation is critical We shall
meet the managers again before night,
instead Of meeting the trainmen as was
planned"
Under newly adopted policy of Sc
cretiveness, he would not say more, but
those who have followed the course of
the conferences closely interpreted his
remark to mean that the railroads had
refused to recede from some important
part Of the demands they formulated
after arbitration was agreed on. 1t is
believed the trainmen, who were much
angered when the roads put forward the
fresh demands, have delivered some
sort of ultimatum and that the media.
tors have failed to induce the railroads
to make concessions sufficient to bring
the two parties together
The second meeting with the man
ayers, announced by Mr.. Hanger, was
the third consecutive meeting with that
side, and this indicated to those watch
ing the conferences that the stand of
the managers was what was troubling
the medators.
