than $4,000 people will be homeless or
suffer disastrous financial losses. and
the total destruction Of property Will
mount into many millions in central-
eastern Louisiana as the result of the
recent crumbling of the levees OF the
Mississippi river, releasing mighty
torrent of water, which Is piling
higher the backwater from various
streams that had already inundated
the lowlands. it was reported here to-
day upon good authority.
Across the Mississippi river from
this ill-fated section five Mississippi
counties are flooded with backwaters
from swoolen streams. and c. F. Pat
terson, Red Cross secretary at
Natchez. announced today that prepa-
rations must go forward to care for
1880 refugees from that territory
alone, exclusive of the distress in
Louisiana.
Vast Areas Inundated
Approximately 10000 acres of land,
is today under water In Concordia.

.shes.
The entire parish Of Concordia, con-
tanning 423.525 acres, is flooded. 10o,-
600 acres of which had Just been
planted in cotton at an estimated cost
of 100000. An area of about $4,000
acres is affected in Catahoula, includ-
$4,000 acres that had been planted In
cotton and corn. The flood Is spread.
inp int iCh iks
estimated that $4,000 acres OF cottou
land will be covered. The damage from
loss of crops, ruined highways and
devastation to the fertile plantations
will run into millions OF dollars. The
fight to hold the levee lines Is costing
thousands of dollars a day and tho
end is not yet in sight
Roads and sawmills HIT.
Among those from whom the food
has taken a heavy toll. IN addition to
planters. are operators OF sawmill
plants and railroads. Much valuable
lumber has been washed away and tho
roadbeds Of the rail lines are seriously
affected. The transportation Of live
stock to places of safety from tho food
has also added to the cost Of inunda-
ton.
With the Mississippi river here At
stage two feet above the highest
previous record. and much more Hood
water in sight, II Is believed that

dated will remain covered until July

DISTRICT SURPLUS
Continued from First Page.)

nesota and Evans Of Nebraska, the re-
publican conferees for the House.
Other prominent republicans said today
that the House conIerees will have seri-
Gus difficulty in getting the conference
report accepted and predicted that the
proposed change in the fiscal relations
will not be approved by the House.
Chairman Davis of the House con-
ferees indicated today that he was the
least disposed Of any OF the conferees
to favor the proposed change and he ad-
mitted that the first paragraph OF the
bill, covering the fiscal relations, was
written by Senator Jones and Repre-
minority members of the House man
ayers.
Glover Protests Change.
Charles c. Glover was in conference
today with Representative johnson.
protesting against the proposed
change.
1t was suggested by Representative
Davis todav that for the first time the
District Commissioners are allowed
to regulate the amount of their esti-
mates and to fix the tax rate without
any maximum or minimum. The In
ference was made that If the District
people die not care to pay higher
taxes they could pile up the re-
quired surplus by holding down on
expenditures.
This way of evading the increase
was ridiculed by serious-minded
members of the House, who are par
ticularly anxious that nothing shall
interfere with the development and
upkeep Of the National Capital. While
the House was not in session today
many of the members who keep In
closest touch with the business of the
House were studying the proposed
er,nndrent In regard to the fiscal
relations and indicated that big
fight is to be expected when the
amendment is offered from the floor.
Republican leaders said that IL there
! is to be any radical change in the
method Of taxation or fiscal relations
between the federal and District gov
ernments 1t should not be until after
a full consideration. with adequate
publicity, so that the subject could
| be studied from all sides and all OF
| the persons interested could have
