PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHTER
IN THE BIG RIVER VALLEY
WASHINGTON, April 11.—With
I rain in the Mississippi and Ohio val-
I leys at «n end for the present, bright -
i er prospects in those valleys were »n-
I nounced by the Weather Bureau to
day.
The Ohio River has fallen sharply
1 between Pittsburg and Louisville. The
i stage at Cairo to-day was 54.4 feet,
iAt Memphis th e Mississippi stood at
144.7 feet this morning, a fall of 1.8
feet in 24 hours. This was due to
breaks in the Arkansas levees.
Vicksburg reported a stage of 47.3, a
rise of .8 of a foot in 24 hours. There
was a rise of .1 of a foot at New Or
leans to lfi.7 feet.
PASSES FLOOD STAGE.
NATCHEZ, MISS.. April 11.— While
hundreds of men worked to strength
en the levees in this region, the Mis
' sissippi River to-day passed the flood
stage here. United States engineers
say that the dykes will hold against a
stage of 54 feet, the maximum pre
dieted.
Persons living behind the levees are
working to prevent. a recurrence of
the iuunense property damage done
last spring. Live stock is being rush
ed to higher grounds and planters and
I merchants are laying in large sup
! plies of provisions.
The Texas and Pacific Railroad
' Company this afternoon announced
: the suspension of train service south
■of Ferriday, La., because of high
I waters.
BREWER TO FIGHT FLOOD.
JACKSON, MISS.. April 11.—. Go
vernor Brewer will take personal com
i niand of the flood-lighting forces in

| ciest of the flood passes Vicksburg.

tion tax clerk in-the office of the

not tile any statement of his fees.
Tax Collector A. P. Stewart made a
statement of his fees, and Tax Re

bex-ome operative.
The meeting has been called pt -
rnarily to decide xxhat attitude t -
Republican party should adopt on t
Underwood tariff bill, and it is as
serted that the Republicans will ado,
a policy of passive resistance by of
fering as au amen.iment to th.- I
derwood bill a measure providing f -
a scientific tariff board.
The Republican forces propose i->
put the Demoej-atie party in the atl
tude. if they can do so, of removing
all protection to American industr:- -
and substituting therefor a pia.-ii.-.i' ,
free trade measure.
The Democratic Senators scoff at
the idea that the Underwood bill vio
lates trade agreements with foreign
countries and are prepared to combat
any arguments that may he advance,|
from the opposition.
