City and a Correspond- ing Rise Here. Council Bluffs Under Water and Eastern Trains Strug- gling to Get Out. “What is the situation?” at differ- ent times means different things. At this moment it means in Omaha ana a large part of Nebrasks, what new wrinkle has the Big Muddy taken into its capricious—not head, but channel! Briefly, the prospects for the Missourl’s “‘taking a drop” are favorsble. Yesterday the water fell six inches at Sioux Olty, and rose six inches berc This means that to- morrow it will fall six inches or more at this point, and still continue to go up at some unfortunste places down the river. ALL SURROUNDED, The smelting works, shops, snd ry building touched by the muddy ide, are yet entirely surounded. More lumber y-md-y toppled from the piles in the respective lumber yards, but it was all caught by the , and very little lost. While the body of water is surely greater, the carrent sesms to be lzss fierce at this point, protabiy due to the filling up of the vast lowlands and bzsins fur- ther down the stream. On this side of the “oreck,” with the excaption of . ofa bfld(' from seme small stream which floated down among and became entangled in the U. P, thop buil¢ings, there is nothing very new. OX THE OTHER SIDE, however, there is much food for ob- servation, and plenty of chanoes to be- come interested, —It youdon't hap- pen to live thero. Higher and fariher the water has crept, uatil it mow :flu atone polnt the base of the which hang over the city taki that name. It has invaded -gouc x thousand door yards, and bes rashed into threefourths as many houses. Many of the inbabitants Yot Shiosa moved out yesterdsy, as best they could, and took shelter on the higher geound with their benevojent meigh- bors, who are dolog all they o to relieve the distress of their unfortunate neighbors. All of the depots are surrounded N’ water at varlous depths. The orthwestern is reached by means of boats only, and the others are n bet- ter off. 8o great is the trouble to the roads on this account that the Chicago & Rook Island and the C.B. & Q. traina were the only ones that ventared from even their stopping points out- side of the clty yesterday. ALL THE HOTELS y cromded with people th the flooded district of the city and from the few incoming tealns. Why some of the travelers remained may bo inferred from another refer- ence to the hotel management pub- lished in snother column. Tne supe- riority of this rise over the one two weeks ago was yosterday shown by the entire isolation of many buildings that before were not tonched by the water. Between thestock-yards and the river channel proper it is one vast sea, with bhere and there a falntly deecribable line of post tops to show that undernesth is real estate ot other times valusble onough to fonce off. Below and among the sidetracks running south of the transfer depot, area ecore of cars on their sides and early sub- merged, while bundreds of others sro -vh. of much property—otherwise this mighty flood would rank alwo as a -l;hty disaster., THE BIVER VIEW. A Bzr reporter stood this morning east of the depot and for an instant took in the remarkable scene before him. To the north could be seen an unbroken plain of waterfar as the vis- fon could reach, fringed on the west by half submerged manufactories, thops, dwellings and raillrosd teacks. The busy workers in the lumber yards, a buodred men or more, added life to the soeme. Bstween the Union Pa- cific shops aad barn a large stesmer was placidly floating atanchor. To the south were Iler's distillertes in the foreground, all the yards trausformed into sheets of water, and barrels, staves and,timber afloat. Boyd's packing house in the distance stood with the muddy water about much of its foundations. Be- yond all this, above and below the bridge, was the ] bolling, foaming, eddying current, marked here and there by A MINIATURE MAELSTROM, and moving swiftly onward with a might which seamed irresistible. The eastern embankment of the bridze formed a black line, disappearing be- eath the water at the polnt where the trapafer hotel could be discovered. The esst bank of the river, for some distance above the bridge, formed & long island, on which conld be seen a half dozen houses, some still high and dry and others partially sub- merged. “Jamp on!” shouted a voice behind the reporter, and he turned to behold a “hand-car,” on which was an official of the telephone company and several 'Irlrepllurl. ““Where are you go- ng?” *To the tranefer,” and & mo- mnt Iater the reporter was on and the little car glided swiftly forward. The scene AT THE TRANSFER was more eerious than before. T:e temporary bridge of fiat cars was still in place, but a deep and powerfal car- rent swept savagely underneath it, just touching the floors of the cars at many points and perceptibly jarring them. None of thesa stood at a level, but sll had been frmly fastened to esch other with powerful planking, forming a continuous bridge. Several long lines of cars stretched away through the water to the stock yards. At one point the track on which these stood had been washed out and several cars had toppled over INTO THE FLOOD. A small telegraph and switch house had met with a like fate. The trans- fer train stood at the east end of the flst ocar brldz- awalting sach passengers had onturodmyl-lglnf&hnht ina row boat from the Bluffs, The emi- grant bouse was found with ils plat- Fou) SU00 SR ALl ahps B surface of the water, the main floor some four inches higher. Its forty or fifty inmates last night were departing for Omaha and it was evi- dent that this building would not long sccommodate anybody. The transfer hotel wes dull and cheerless and its guests had departed. On b THE RETURN TRIP the reporter learned taat one gentle- man, apparently an Eoglishman, had come in on the Northwestern train last evening and had reached the Bluffs by wagon from a point three miles above, whero there le a serious wash- out, and Lal secured a boatman to bring himsel and baggage to the trans- fer. The gentleman remarked that um nota pleasant time to travel d described a little experience in & d l.m visit to Manitobs, wheace he had t | come. He bore evidence of his expe- way up the sides of the cars. F\v. tracks ware washed amy, sither en- tirely or in sections, and presented s most dilapidated sight. AT THE TRANSFER. From the dummy train to the depot ten more flat cars, making the entire number sixty, were sdded yesterday. Two of these, immediately over the trestle work which spsns Spoon Lake, were considerably sunken snd yleldsd b! to the pressure of the Seavelacy’ foct, ‘ol they looked de- udpdly shaky. In the depot were about one hundred neatly dressed Ohinsmen, who had been blocked there on thelr way to New York. They scomed to have plenty of pro- visions and were apparently as much at ease as could be expocted. Most of the passengers from the esstern lwd-vho had got as far as the trans- fer depot, came across to Omaha. There were also two hundred emigrants for Mnnhns. These had come scross and Shomesiven in the cars staniig ot the Omaha depot as best they could. F"e or six hundred sre reported to be still in_Council Blne-, ‘most of them | ®d- in the Emigrant house. TRAINS TO-DAY. This morning, it is announced, the Chleago & Rock Island and C. B.& Q. roads will take trains out at the wusual time. The cther roads are re- ported to be bdly cut up by the floods in Tows, snd will not start.

BASTERX MaTLS, Fully ten tons of mail matter came over the river on the seven_o'clock transfer traln last night, and much delayed correspondcnce may be looked for this morning. There was no bag- gage of the pessengers, as it was Im- Eutlnhh to get it down from the fis. At the transfer hotel every- thing was ranning smootbly. Amon; the guest- yesterday were tho wite son of ex-Gov. Fenton, of New York, ::‘ Chief Ju:_:-. Peck, of Wyoming were eastward tory. 24 LATEST FRON THE RIVEE At three o'clock this morning the river had risen only two inches from the report at 6 o'clock, and the total height was twenty-four feet above low water mark. It is doubtful if even the ever saw such a high water mark before. WILL IT NEVER STOP? INCH BY INCH THE RIVER STEADILY RISES. From Saturday Even ng's Bee. “The River” is the all absorbing toplc of conversation to day on every band, and indeed the gravity of the situation can hardly be over-estimat- od. Every additional inch of water in that steadily advancing tide means ot alone additional peril to the grest Industries which are threatened and partially submerged on this side of the river, but it means new floors flaoded, additional dwellinge desolated, sod bhundreds of families made homeless,at points onthe otherside,this side, abovs orbelow. Fortunately, the snail like Pace at which the water is rising robe it of the loss of life by which it would be marked, and gives time for the rlence in being hardly able to walk, from rheumatism, and remarked that if he were & young newspaper ma, like the reporter, he would undoubt- edly have enjoyed the experience, but that that time had passed with him. “You are A JOURNALIST, theal” “Yor, On the othe side of the water. My name ia Forbes.” Lt suddenly dawaed on the reparter thet the plain, unssuming and friendly Individual «f some forty years before him was Archibald Forbes, the famous war correspondent of the London Daily News, who has represented his joutaal in twelve wars, and whose long and perilous journey in brioging to the coast the first infor- mation of the massacre of the English soldlery in Z is an_schleve- T Journalists take e. _The reporter had a long and Interesting nterview with Mr. Forbes, who left. at noon for San Francisco, ‘where he is soon to lecture. 1IN THE LUMBER YARDS. The situation on the river bottoms on this side has not materially chang- Lumberj from the yards is accumulating against the booms which still endure the strain. In the case of the lower boom, on which there is now not less than’ 200,000 feet of lumber, it seems Impoesible that it ean much longer endure the strain. The lamber plles(as in the different pards continue to fall, untilnearly all are in the water. Fos! ter's office has partially left its founda- tions, the north end beiog reared up- ward some two feet, but the welght of an immense quantity of sash stored in the upper floor etill keepit in itsplace, Several smaller bulldings have floated from their foundations. Ay T0ue 4xp ariA. tters remain about as yesterday with the railroads and the :un., ex- oept that the Union Pacific_compsny repaired its Elkhorn bridge last night and its train left soon after noon with heavy load of passengers, followed soon after by an extra. The Chicago trains are running to and om Council Bhfl'a, is alzo the Wabash, no \xnngllmsnh are made for th' tunl- fer of baggage and mails, and but fow passengers take tle row boat line. Omaka is stil practically cut off, ex. cept to the west, from all polnl- though a few mails have been go throngh by Chief Clerk Vandervoort and Special Agent Furay, THE STEAMER BENTON nesrly paralyzed the old settlers at the Bluffs this mornlng by striking boldly for the transfer depot and anchoring a few rods from that struct- ure, while her officers made an a'- tempt to procure coal for their en- give, secaring » small amount, They then proceeded to the U. P. shops on this nde, anchored over the tracks in the yard and made arrangements to wecure the much needed supply from the adjolning plles of the rallroad company. Such a feat was never b~ fore known, sud it is rumored that some cf the old rottlers will call an indignation meeting. STATIONARY. The river was stationary at one o'clock snd then stood at 23 feet and 14 inches, according to the signal sor- vico office measurement, above low water mark. At three o'clrck this was still the height. This ia 1 foot and 5 inches above the highest rise ever known. PLATTSMOUTE. thelast flood at this polnt.

HOTEL CORMORANTS. One of the Features of the Councll Bluffs Inun- dation, Couscil Bloffs may be a pleasant place to live in, if you own your own habitation; but fora stranger and a traveler, If the reports received yes- terday from persons recently come from there be true, it Is by no means an enviable place tostop. Itisal- legad by travelerson the trains arriv- ingin that city during the past few days that the most shameful practices have been resorted to by hotel keepers, boatmen, and all classes coming fn contact with the arriving passengers from eastern trains, in the way of ex- tortlon and mlsrepresenting imsgina- ble. One instancs illustrates, so the travelers say, scores of others. Mr. H. P, Pettingill, of this city, travel- ing for Reed, Jones & 0., ssys that BaNsaacasy |hslasseealie {Cbunsll Bluffs from the 0. B. & Q railroad. At the deaf and dumb asylum, where the traln was obliged to stop, he says that the railroad company had wagons waiting to convey the passengers nto the city. Nearly all of the passengers in tko Pallman cars were taken to the Ogden House, Among them he says there were several Eoglish gentlomen and their wives, golog to British Col- umbia, and thers were also about twenty through passengers for San Francisco. Upen inquiry at the hotel office, he alleges, they were informed that it would be impossible for them to get across the river. Upon appeal- ing to the proprieior he says that the same informatlon was given; and Mr. Pettengill furthermore says that the proprietor claimed to have received a dispatch from the sgent at the trans- fer depotto the effect that he should have ail his west bound guests at the transfer at twelve o'clock noon, that was the last travsfer traln that left for Omal city; aod the dlspatch way, in addition, clsimed to state that there were grave fears for the safety of the Union Pacific iron bridge. It was then two o'clock in the after- noon, and most of the passengers re- signed themselves to tho exquisite pleasure of remaining in Council Bloffs over night. Mr. Pettingill, however, refused to bellove the pro- pristor's statement, and In compaay with three or four gentlemen declded to risk trip to the transter depet in a boat. Arrived there, they found the west-bound train walting at the end of the long llno of flat cars, and came safely across the river. Mr. Pettingill states that there was plenty of time in which all of the passengers could have reached the transfer depot, and that there were many in the company who were placed in a most embarrassing position by the delay. The same thing Is charged of the Pa- cific house iv Council Bluffs. It theso statements be correct; if the proprie- tors or thelr employes purposely de- decelvod thelr guestr, or if they were not suffictently desirous of keeping first-class houses to inform themselves as to the trae conditlon of affaire— why, the traveling public can come to whatever conclasion the fit. FIGHTING PRAIRIE FIRES. The Whole Force of the Bar- racks Called Qut Yes- terday. A fierce pralle fire has been raging northwest of the barracks for a day or two. Yesiorday tho flames began to circle around moro to the west, and by nlne o'clock last night had ap- prosched within heating distancs of the buildings. The whole force of soldiers statloned there was called out and for two hours fonght the advano- ing danger. At ono time it seemed aslf the blazo wonld rosch the bar- racks, but the energetlo efforts of the military, which were directed agsfust afos not conquerable: by bullets, at length succeeded In tarning it away to the west. A vast tract of land, three miles or more squars, has baen burat over. Tho light which, was plainly disceraible from the city, made the northwest horizon bright nearly al night. Hospe's Opening. Mr. A. Hosps, the well known proprietor of the Art and Mauslc Repository on Dodge street, enter- talned his friends and patrons In fine style lastevening, with a geand open- ingand » musical and artlstic treat that has never before been equalled in Omaha, The proprictor and ms- stants showed uausual taste in the solection and display of the paintings and other works of art.

American People and Amer- lcan Journalism, Interview with the Newspaper ; Hero of Twelve Wars. Blunt, unreserved frankness is & characteristie of the English gentle- man, and Mr. Archibald Forbes, the war correspondent of the London Daily News, Is ene of the most out- spoken of his race, It was the for- tane of & BEE reporter to have a long conversation with Mr, Forbes while he was In this city on Siturdsy. He had just arrived trom Council Bluffs via “the row-boat line,” but instead of being out of humor from his expe- rience was praising the efforts which had been made for his accommodation. “The railroads of America havea wondertul sbility to meet and over- come emergencies. 1 have noticed it frequently durlng my travels here. ‘There was the bridge of flat-cars over which we came. Some man's energy and Ingennity met tha the only device which could h: up the line of communlcatio “My boatman this morniog wasa good illustration of a trait peculiar to the American. The man with whom 1 arranged to bring me across sent a substitate. The latter was vory ac- commodating, and did me a grest many little serviccs. When we reach- ed the travsfer 1 offered him twice the amount agreed upon. He refused it. “Why, my good fellow,’ I sald, *you have done mofe than you agreed, and boon very kind. Take this.’ positively declined to do it, but sald he would take a drink to me if I wished. Au English boatman would have taken the sum and grumbled ‘twes not sufficlent pay. Mr. Sala and I would not sgree abont the Amerlcan people. He says they aro a charlish race, and that It is not eafe to open a conversation With a stranger in America unless you are willing to bo snubbed. He looked in valn for the Inquisitive Yankee he expected to find, but noted a peculiar and marked roserve among all clsses. I have found Americans very affsble and pleasant, very kind and accommodat- ing. It hasimpressed me as a nation- »l pecaliarity. The cities on the east- orn sesboard are more European. They have become corrapted by con- tact with the Old World.” ] find journalism quite unlike the profession In Eagland. Thero Is great eutorpriso among American nowspa- pers, but very little training for the profession. I find the profession, in & goneral way, demonalizing to its re- porters. There Is a demand for filth and nastiness which forces the report- er to demean and degrade himself. I have bad a personal experlence which leads me to this belief. The Mayor of Diteoit honored me with & recep- tion. At 10 o’clock I excused myself to keep an engagement with the chief of police, with whom I visited the worst parts of the city, and saw that part ot the life of a town which can only bo seen at night. I expressed myself strongly in condemning to the officar some things I saw. Tho repor | = terof an evening paper heard my re- mark, and in the next papar charged me with base ingratitude to the Mayor, in deserting his reception for the pur- pose of visiting a brothel. True, in fact, the charge was intamous in the impression it was Intended to convey. A few days Iater, at Toledo, a repor- ter came to mo and said his paper no- tioed the charge made sgainst me by their Dotroit contemporary and de- sired to givo me an opportunity to an- swer It. “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself,” I sald. *‘You may consid- er yourself fortunate that you have an opportunity to get to the foot of the stalrs in a natural way. Now get out of here. He paused in the door sndeald: “Well. then we shall con- sider the charge true,” and leftthe house as quickly a1 convenient. Next day b's paper repeated the story. Some time later in Pittsbarg s reporter came to mo agsin on the same mission. He ap- parently had some self respect and felt that he wes degrading himself to come to s gentleman oa such a mis- slon. Ihad along talk with him. I never saw his paper and am unable to toll what statement it may have made. I don’t find, as in England, the man who believes he nn & miesion attached to & nowapaper.” “The roporter asked with some inter- est &8 to London roporters and the system on which & London newspaper office wa1 couducted, but was sur- pri ed to learn that Mr. Forbes hes paesed a good portion of his life out- side of England in the performance of his dutier, had not been twenty times Inside the News building in tha ccurse of his life, and know almost es little as the reporter of the system on which a London newspaper offico is con- | ducted. Mr. Forbes had engagements to lesture in Cheysnne and Laramie on his way to San Francieco, but had beon 8o much delayed that he had boen obliged to cancel the Cteyenne date.
