IRISH PROBLEMS
TO SETTLE SOON

Make Clear Its Attitude On
Important Question.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 21.-
1t is the opinion of American and
foreign diplomats that recent events
in Ireland call for a statement from
the American government and it is
confidently expected that the ad-
ministration will make its attitude
clear on this important question at
an early date.
Considerable influence is being
brought to bear upon the govern
ment by prominent Irishmen and
Irish societies in this country, the
object being to impress upon the
administration the Importance of
taking some action without delay.
Strong resolutions have been
adopted by numerous Irish mass
meetings held recently, and it is
understood that the lord mayor of
London will take up the matter with
President Wilson upon his arrival
at Washington in the near future.

HOT SPRINGS IS
VICTIM Of HIGH
WATER IN RIVER
Lower River Town Inundated By
Sudden Rise in Tanana and
Loss Is Heavy.

According to advces received in
Nenana today, the town of Hot
Springs, on the lower Tanana river,
was inundated yesterday as the re-
suit of sudden rise in the Tanana
river The flood was the worst ever
recorded there, the water being six
feet in places. There was four feet
of water in the office of the deputy
marshal and half a foot in the tele-
graph station.
The heaviest loss is believed to
have been sustained by Geo. L. Nor
rison, the Hot Springs merchant
He could not empty his cellars in
time to save his goods and lost a
large quantity, in consequence. The
N. c. warehouse also was flooded
and considerable quantity of the
supplies stored there were also DAM
aged by the water The goods were
recently sold to Morrison, but lad
not been taken over by him ut the
time of the flood.
The reports state that the water
rose so rapidly that the residents
of the town were compelled to beat
a hasty retreat to the higher levels,
where they remained marooned
throughout the night.
Details of the overflow, which
must have been caused BY Jam
below Hot Springs, were not obtain
abe today and it may be several
days before the extent of the dam
age is known here. But there ap-
cars to be no doubt of the fact
that the water was extremely high
and that considerable loss was sus-
tanned. Nothing has been heard re-
garding the effect of the flood on
the Morrison fox farm. The farm is
back from the slough, but is very
little, if any, higher than the town
and must have been covered by
several feet of water.
At the time of the high water
in Nenana, Alex Fowler, Of the local
firm of Fowler & Morris, sent wire
to Morrison, warning him of the
unusual conditions prevailing here
and suggesting that precautions be
taken to avert loss should the
flood extend to the lower town.
Whether or not this advice was heed
ed is not known here.
The supposition here is that jam
formed below Hot Springs and that
the rising water was augmented by
rush of water from up river, fol-
lowing the breaking of the jam,
early yesterday, ten miles below
Nenana.
Superintendent Volney Richmond,
of the Northern Commercial com
pany, expects to leave for Hot
Springs tomorrow for the purpose
of investigating the situation there.
He has made arrangements to start
down river in launch in the morn
ing.
