TUESDAY MORNING. THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. APRIL 13, 1897 5 WORK IS BEGINNING Food for the Sufferers and Forage for the Stock is Being Provided. ONE DANGER TO BE AVOIDED People Receiving Aid From the Government Must be Prevented From Gathering in Cities. ARMY RATION WILL BE DISCARDED Pork, Corn- Meal and Molasses Are to be Distributed to the Hungry -Commissary Officers Make Their Reports -Live Stock is Suffering Terribly -No Additional Breaks in the Levees Are Looked For -There Are Some Weak Spots Near New Orleans, But Large Forces Are Working to Make Them Secure-In the Upper River the Banks Are Cutting Badly and Much Land Will be Carried Away Later On.

WASHINGTON, April 12. Secretary Alger thinks the worst of the flood dangers has passed in the Mississippi Valley, and that with the force the War Department has in the field, co-operating as it is with the local relief committees, there is small danger that great suffering will be permitted to go unchecked and unrelieved. One danger to be avoided from now on, in Secretary Alger's opinion, is the possible concentration of the destitute laborers in the cities and towns in order to secure the relief, which highly the important, government in the holds out. estimation of the Secretary, that this concentration be averted as far as possible, in order to make sure that the farm laborers will not permanently desert their old homes and perhaps become charges on the towns. Also, it is felt that the labor of this class of refugees will be very necessary to restore the plantations and farms to workable condition, and insure the making of crops this year.

Some of these dangers were strongly set out in a telegraphic report received by Secretary Alger last night from Lieutenant Rowan, one of the inspecting officers in the field, based on representations of leading citizens of Helena and Greenville. Orders to Commissary Officers. Accordingly, Secretary Alger this morning sent the following telegraphic order, through Adjutant General Ruggles, to Captain Davie, the commissary officer at Memphis, with instructions to forward the same order to all the officers now rations: "The Secretary you to use distributions every possible effort to prevent people who are receiving aid from the government from gathering in the cities, for, as soon as the water subsides. their services will doubtless be required to work upon the levees and till the fielde, and besides it would be great expense to transport them back to their former homes when needed even if they should desire to go." Feeding the Live Stock. The question of feeding the live stock of the people driven from their homes by water has been solved.

When it was first proposed to authorize the officers to buy forage for the animals, it was held that the act of Congress would not permit that to be done, and the officials were about to ask Congress to amend the original joint resolution when the Treasury authorities decided that the resolution itself contained the necessary authorization. This was fortunate, for Captain Davis, at Memphis Saturday night, telegraphed that it seemed absolutely necessary to purchase forage for the stock in addition to food, and the permission to do so was at once given him. Another decision that may de something to relieve the government authorities of undue pressure upon their resources was also made by Secretary a Alger upon the recommendation of Captain Davis. This was to reduce the rations supplied to the simplest proportions, while still making sure that they should' be sufficient for actual needs. The Army Ration Will be Discarded.

The army ration will be discarded and in its place the hungry will get nothing but pork, cornmeal and molasses. Lieutenant Rowan telegraphed last night from Memphis to Secretary Alger that he would start this morning for Helena on the government tug with Captain Fitch. At Helena he (Rowan) would board the Meter, placed at his disposal for inspection purposes. The boat would also carry some supplies furnished Captain Davis for distribution in special emergency cases. Lieutenant Whitney left Saturday noon for the upper river on the regular packet, and Major Sanger left yesterday morning on the chartered steamer Harbin for St.

Francis river, to be absent several days. More Destitution Than Was Supposed. Telegrams from other officers on Inspection duty show that there is more destitution than was supposed in upper Arkansas and Missouri. Lieutenant Whitney, at Memphis, about to start up the river for Cairo, reported Saturday night in his district, from Memphis to Cairo, the inundated area was 2,000 square miles, extending up to Gayoso, and the average width of twenty miles, and covering nearly all of Crittenden and Mississippi counties, and Arkansas and Premiscott counties, Missouri. The local communities were relieving immediate distress, but the destitution to follow would be great.

Many of the planters were caring for refugees in order to have their labor in planting time. Nineteen-twentieths of the destitute are colored, according to Lieutenant Whitney's information. Major Craig, from New Orleane, reports that from his last advices the levees up to Red River Landing were still intact. Above Fort St. Phillip, in the lower district, there have been several breaks in small, private levees, and some assistance may be necessary there.

MEMPHIS-CAIRO DISTRICT No Fresh Crevasses Are Anticipated, Bnt There is Much Suffering Among the People. WASHINGTON, April first of the detailed reports from the inspecting officers came to Secretary Alger this afternoon from Lieutenant Whitney, as follows: MEMPHIS, April a result of personal inspection of part of the MemphisCairo district north of Ashport, 90 miles by river, I found 18 crevasses in levees, varying in width from 50 to 1,000 feet and widening some. The increased damage to levees will be considerable unless the ends of breaks are heavily capped. No fresh erevasses are anticipated now. The flood is completely over the United States levee at Ashport and south for 15 miles, except in a few of the highest places; three crevasses are in this stretch.

The top is being damaged on account of sloughing. I have reported latest details as to location, extent and condition to the engineer officer in charge of this district. Water at the maximum was three to four feet higher on the gauge than ever before known. It has been falling 10 to 12 inches every 24 hours, and is now about on a standstill, but still higher than any previous flood. There is about 45 square miles in Tennessee, nine miles long and nine miles wide, on an average.

I found about 3,000 refugees (1,920 colored) and 1,500 more have been brought to Memphis. Most all have some sort of shelter, but are suffering from want of necessities. Judging from reliable reports this number represents barely one-quarter of those needing immediately assistance in this portion of the district. Stock is Suffering Terribly. Stock is suffering terribly, one-third to onehalf of the cattle are drowned and the re: mainder will die unless forage is supplied from outside.

The ready resources of the district are exhausted. The condition in Mississippi county, is representative: nine-tenths its 805 square miles are covered with water 3 to 7 feet deep. About 15 per cent. of this was under cultivation. cabins are washed away or torn up.

Those standing are filled with people and rescued stock on raised floors and rafts. Out of 150,000 population 6,000 are dependent and needy. Four lives are reported lost by drowning. The conditions in Crittenden county are even worse, and the suffering rapidly increasing, due to prolonged high water. Most of the refugees are collected on high ground and at points on levees.

I have noted their location and approximate numbers. They can be reached from Memphis by a relief boat, which should leave supplies for five days at a time at certain relief stations, each in charge of a responsible resident. Would recommend that an officer distribute rations and take receipt from person in charge of station. Those back from river can be reached by small boats from stations. Sufferers in my section can and should be relieved where they are.

This will' prevent serious demoralization of labor later. Would recommend furnishing simplest food supplies, corn meal and side meat, and that every ration by accompanied by forage for two head of stock. I start soon as possible for the northern section. WEAK SPOTS IN THE BANKS There Are Three Just Above New Orleans, But the City is Well Protected. NEW ORLEANS, April day now adds a few inches to the river's height and the long expected crest of the flood wave is on the move.

It ought to reach here in a few days. In the meantime the anxiety is increasing all along the line, for more weak spots are developing. From North Louisiana comes the news that the Bigges levee, below Vicksburg, sustained a terrific attack and nearly succumbed, but relief was prompt. Just above New Orleans comes the news of three weak spots almost in a row, one in St. Charles parish and the other two at Hanson City and Camp Parapet.

A break at either of the latter two points would send the water knocking at the door of New Orleans. However, there is a protection levee just above the city, reaching clear across from the river to the lake, so that the water would run into the latter body. The city is protected against a rise in the lake by a costly system of levees. Another weak spot is on the opposite bank of the river just below the city, but large forces have been at work there for three days and nights. A section of the levee at the old Ames crevasse, just above Gretna, is also showing weakness.

Gretna, by volunteer citizens' movement, is building 811 wall around herself. The danger is increas. ing daily, but that is only an incentive for harder work and the Louisiana line is still intact. ABOVE SIOUX CITY Cutting of the Banks is Serious and Greater Damage Will be Done When the River Goes Down. SIOUX CITY.

Iowa, April Captain Gould, of the Government River Service, has arrived in Sioux City after a trip down the Missouri from Pierre in the government steamer Josephine. In speaking of the flood conditions he said: "Cutting of the banks is most serious at several points above Sioux City. Large areas of farm land have gone into the current and should extensive changes take place in the channel, as there seems now reasons to anticipate, still greater damage will be done. The river is so high now that it has had little opportunity to undermine the banks. When it goes down and begins cutting under them the worst is to be expected." The Missouri Still Rising.

OMAHA, April Missouri river has risen rapidly here since Saturday and is higher now than at any time since 1881, the year of the great flood. The water is spreading over the bottoms and the factories along the river banks are taking steps for their protection. The water is still rising. CAUGHT TWO HIGHWAYMEN They Pounced Upon a Happy Man and Took His Purse, But Must Answer for It. At an early hour yesterday Solomon Gossler, of 1348 Ambler Philamorning, delphia, was on his way home from the house of a friend whom he had been visiting in Camden.

He had a taken several drinks during Sunday evening and was feeling pretty happy until he reached Front and Chestnut. streets, Camden. At this point two highwaymen put an abrupt stop to the tune that Gossler was singing, by knocking him down, after which they proceeded to rifle his pockets. He cried "Murder! help! police!" until two of Camden's vigilant guardians of the peace, Policemen Fitzsimmons and Mines, heard him. The policemen arrived on the scene in time to capture Gossler's assailants and recover his pocketbook, which they had taken from his pocket.

The two captives gave their names as Frank Philan and James Ryan. both of Philadelphia. They had no defense to make before Mayor Westcott at the hearing and he committed them to jail without bail to await the action of the grand jury. ROUMANIA'S NEW CABINET M.

Ivory Has Made No Claim. LONDON, April O'Brien, Parnellite, member for the City of Kilkenny, asked the government for information in the House of Commons to-day as to whether it had received any claim for compensation in behalf of Edward J. Ivory, the saloon-keeper of New York, who was arrested in Glasgow on September 12 last and who was discharged from custody on January 20, the treasury officials having failed to obtain evidence suflicient to convict him of the charge of conspiring to cause a dynamite explosion, which brought about his arrest. The First Lord of the Treasury, Mr. Balfour, in reply, said the government had not received notice of any such claim as the one referred to by the honorable member of Kilkenny City.

Eleventh Miles 23 Established Street WHEELMEN TO PARTICIPATE INVITED TO TAKE PART IN THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT UNVEILING. IMPORTANT MEETING HELD YESTERDAY Councils' Committee and the Citizens' Executive Committee Met in the Mayor's Office Yesterday Afternoon and Considered Plans for the Ceremonies Incident to the Unveiling of the Washington Monument on Saturday, May 15-Definitely Decided That a Monster Bicycle Parade 8 Shall Form a Part of the Day's Festivities. An important meeting for the purpose making arrangements for the unveiling of the Washington Monument, gift to the city of the State Society of Cincinnati the of Pennsylvania, in Fairmount Park, on Saturday afternoon, May 15, was held in the Mayor's office yesterday afternoon. It was the first meeting of Councils' joint committee, of which Select Councilman Henry Clay is chairman, and the members of that body met the citizens' committee appointed by the Mayor and representatives of the State Society of the Cincinnati and considered the plans for the military parade and the reception to be tendered to all the visiting troops. The meeting of the two committees was held behind closed doors and was presided over by Mr.

Clay. Of the committee of Councils there were present Edward W. Patton, George W. Sunderland, William McMullen, Jacob Seeds, chairman of the finance committee; Colonel W. W.

Allen, D. S. B. Chew. W.

R. J. Knight and Charles F. Iseminger. Of the citizens' committee, besides the Mayor, there were present R.

Dale Benson, the chairman of the committee: Samuel Gustine Thompson, General Louis Wagner, Ex-Judge H. J. McCarthy, Colonel Robert Ralston, Lieutenant Colonel J. Lewis Good, Max Riebenack, of the Pennsylvania Railroad; Colonel J. Biddle Porter, Colonel Wendell P.

Bowman, Major H. C. Groome and George J. Brennan. The Entertainment for the Troops.

Guard. Will be a Monster Bicycle Parade. Colonel Porter explained in detail the programme which had been laid out by the State Society of the Cincinnati for the unvelling and the steps which had already been made by the officers of the First Brigade of the National Guard to insure the attendance the entire division of the State Guard participate in the military parade. Mayor Warwick followed Colonel Porter and said that this was a matter to be treated in liberal way; that it was a patriotic occasion which the citizens of the city desired that it be made a notable event. The Mayor also added that the visiting troops should given a hearty welcome to the city on that occasion, and that everything should be done by the committees in charge of the arrangements for their comfort.

David S. B. Chew also spoke on the same lines and said that everything should be done on this occasion show the thousands of visitors which the unveiling ceremonies will bring to the city on that day that Philadelphia is a wideawake town. R. Dale Benson, in speaking about the part the National Guards would take in the ceremonies, said that the troops did not ask for an opportunity to come to Philadelpbia, but on the other hand were invited to take part in the parade, and for that reason the troops should be liberally entertained.

Mr. Clay and other members of the committee of Councils concurred in the statements made. The Mayor said that he thought $12,000 would be ample to defray the expenses of caring for the visiting troops, and urged that such an appropriation be asked of Councils. The members of Councils' committee were also requested to provide for subsistence of the visiting Guardsmen for the time they are the guests of the city, and also to provide for the music of fifteen regiments and 621 horses for the officers and batteries of the Another matter which was introduced at the executive session was on the advisability of having a monster bleycle parade on the evening of May 15 as part of the day's ceremonies. This feature was enthuslastically received and secured the indorsement of all the members of the committees, and was favorably referred to the Councils' committee for their support.

Before the executive session adjourned Chairman Clay appointed Colonels Porter. Ralston and Good and Major Groome a committee to act with Councils' committee in the work of entertaining troops from other States. A communication was read from Captain John R. Jones, of Gatling Company National Guards of New Jersey, that his company would accept the invitation to participate in the parade. After the adjournment of the executive committee the members of Councile' joint committee met in session in Clerk Paist's office to consider the details referred by the executive committee.

The quartering of the troops from outside of Philadelphia was first considered. Colonel Porter, who was requested to be present, said that the First Regiment Armory would accommodate 1,000 men, the Second Regiment Armory 980 men and one battery, Third Regiment Armory 900 men, National Guards' Hall, Sixth and Race streets, 900 men; State Fencibles' Armory, 450 men, and Battery A Armory, 80 men and one battery, thus leaving less than 1,000 men to be quartered in the rooms set aside by the Public Buildings Commissioners in the City Hall. The question of providing subsistence to the troops was next taken up, and it was decided to advertise for proposals from responsible caterers to furnish meals to the men during the time they are in the city. The bids will be asked for the feeding of not less than 5,000 men. The committee also agreed to allow each regiment $150 for music and provided for horse hire.

Wheelmen to Meet the Committee. When the matter of the bicycle parade was taken up the members of the committee agreed to defray all the necessary expenses incurred in making it a success. The committee was given assurance that the wheelmen of the city were anxious to take part in the patriotic demonstration in connection with the unveiling of the monument, and would contribute their share of entertainment to the thousands of visitors who will be in the city on that occasion. Several members of the committee suggested that an appropriation be made for prizes for the wheelmen to compete for, but action on this matter was postponed until the pext meeting of the committee. Colonel Porter, representing State Society of the Cincinnati, informed the committee that the Society would appropriate $300 for prizes for the bicycle parade.

Chairman Clay then announced that a meeting of Councils' committee would be held in the finance committee chamber, Room 496, to-morrow evening at 8 o'clock, when all the bicycle clubs in the city are requested to be represented by their president or captain to consider plans for the parade. Before adjourning Chairman Clay appointed following committee to take charge of the guests invited by the city to attend the unveiling ceremonies: Messrs. Chew. Patton and Knight. Among those who will be invited will be the Philadelphia Senators and Representatives of the Legislature, Philadelphia members of Congress, members of the City Councils and other city officials.

No word has as yet been received from President McKinley in regard to making an appointment to receive the committee appointed to tender him the invitation to attend the unveiling ceremonies.
