STOCKTON, March 24—The Cala- veras River has gone over the banks at Clowe's place northwest of town and the French Camp toll road southeast of the town is under water in several places. The channels here continue to ] The San Joaquin River is rising | an inch an hour, and it is within three | feet of the top of the levee. It will | reach the danger point at daylight. | Miner channel, which is a raging tor- rent, is pouring a great volume of water {into the head of Stockton channel ;\hrourzh McLeods Lake. Mormon chan- | nel, which is running bank full, is flow- ing into Stockton channel a mile farther | down. | The low places to the south of the Tesla coal bunkers are under water and water is flooding the streets in the | neighborhood of the ship yards on the north bank of Stockton channel. Cel- lars and basements all over town are beginning to fill and merchants are moving their stocks to higher floors. A special message to the Mail this morning sald that water was beginning | to come into Linden, which is east of Stockton, and fears were expressed that | the large volume of water coming down | from the mountains would flood con- siderable of the country in that vicin- | ity. The chief source of danger is from the volume of water coming from the mountains by reason of melting snows and heavy rains. A special telephone message to the Mail from Mr. Hender of Sonora say. the Tuolumne and Stanislaus rivers are | higher now than they have been since the heavy winter of 1889-'90. A heavy |rain is prevailing with a_southwest wind and a low barometer. The rainfall ‘iur the past twenty-four hours, ending | at 10 o'c this' morning, was 2.23, 10.69 for the storm and 2438 for the | | season. The fall for the season last | vear was 20.41. He sald the country | | for twenty miles back was getting a | | good wetting. These flgures indicate that an immense body of water is com- way, and should reach this part of the country some time to-night. William F. Mackey, the Milton agent for Cross & Meyers, the freighters, lo- cated at Jamestown, was in Stockton to-day. He reported that the Calaveras River was rising at the rate of a foot every four hours. Six inches ,of rain | fell at Tuolumne yesterday, and the snow, which had fallen in large quan- tities the past few days in the foothills, was melting rapidly. The weather was warm there. He reported high water | all the way between here and Milton, which is twenty-four miles east of | Stockton. Sheriff Sibley reports the Mormon channel levee, which extends five miles east of Stockton, has been tampered | with in efforts to irrigate. A pest appeared to-day on the low- | lands which is causing the owners of | the partially submerged wheat fields much apprehension. The trouble comes | {in the form of countless thousands of v During the day clouds of seemed to blow in from | every point of the compass and came with & rush and noise.

Farmers at many points turned out with dogs and guns and killed right | and left, but did not seem able to ter- | rify the winged army. It would leave ‘ one point only to alight at another and | resume its depredations. As the water | stands in pools all over the lowlands | the geese had a decided advantage over | the farmers. On the Moss tract, where there are hundreds of acres in fine | grain, the pest appeared in black clouds | and manifested appreciation of the fine | feed by an ear-splitting chorus. A few | years ago about the time the high Wwater was subsiding geese devastated hundreds of acres. Many who have fortunes at stake will be uneasy till the geese seek other boarding quarters. Old-timers say the appearance of the geese is a sure sign of overflow and floods. | The farmers of the eastern and north- ern parts of this county did no or- | | ganized praying for rain, but now they | | the vicinity of Farmington, was in this city to-day.

I never saw the grain fail so fast 2s it did in the three or four days pre- | | ceding the rain. If the storm’had held off a little while longer it would have been too late.” oo Stage Lost in a Torrent. CAYUCOS, March 24.—Stage-driver C. J. Linehan left Cambria for Cayucos on time this morning. At Villa Creek he en- countered a raging torrent due to the re- cent rains. He attempted to cross, when | his horses went beyond their depth. The stage filled with water and began drifting and rolling. Linehan tied the mail sack to the reins, cut the traces and then struck the horses and jumped. They quickly reached high ground and brought | Linehan and the mall sack to land, while the stage went rolling toward the ocean, oniy a few hundred yards distant. There were no passengers, Everything aboard the stage was lost. Linehan walked half 4 mile and secured a conveyance, arriving here nearly on_time. No mail has gone south for two days and none went north to-day. Every stream is booming. It has rained steadlly for sixty hours. The rain- fall for the season is fifteen inches; for | the storm, eight inches S : Boats in Use on the Streets. WATSONVILLE, March 24—Pajaro River overflowed its banks last evening, submerging the lower part of town. On Bridge street and Lower Main .street boats are being used. Not since 18% has the river been so high. Pajaro River is naw a raging torrent and greatly endan- ders the railroad bridge on the Banta Cruz line. Men are now guarding the bridge. Many bridges throughout the county have been washed away. Over twenty-one inches of rain have fallen here for the season. At 6 o'clock p. m. it is still raining, with every indication of a continuance through the night. - Alvarado Is Inundated.

Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, March 24 — The American River, swollen by the late and long-continued rainstorm, is on the rampage and is a wild, rushing torrent, especially in the neighborhood of Fol som. that water was pouring over the great stone dam at the Folsom Prison last night to a depth of fifteen feet and at last accounts was rising rapidly. A short distance above the dam the American River Land and Lumber Company had a great log boom, which was held together by cables. The waters rushed down the American River so swiftly yesterday that the fin or steering boomn was broken loose | and huge pine logs went tearing down the turbulent stream like straws. About 1500 logs came down, representing over 2,000,000 feet of lumber. Many of the logs passed this city to-day. Rain continues falling in the Sacra- mento Valley. An inch of rain was pre- cipitated at this place during the twen- ty-four hours ending at 7 o'clock _this morning. The Sacramento River marked 22 feet and was gradually ris- ing. There is no danger of a flood in this locality, as the levees are secure. If the river reaches the 24-foot mark at this point, Government engineers say the weir recently built by the State, a few miles above this city, will afford rellef and send the surplus water into the tule basin of Yolo County. Rain fell in torrents yesterday after- noon and last night in the mountains and foothills, along the Central Pacific Rallroad, as t at 7 o'clock this morning, he tollowing figures, taken will show: Towles . 3 Rain was still falling in the moun- taine at last accounts and. rapidly melting the snow. The rallroad agent at Emigrant Gap, where over five inches of rain fell, telegraphed that vers of water appeared to be running down the mountain sides. SRR L In Santa Clara Valley.

The precipitation to 6 o'clock to-night was 3.27 inches, and there are no signs of abatement. The rain this afternoon fell in torrents. All creeks through the county are full to theilr banks, and the Sacra- mento River is very high. There has been no damage to the lowland from the over- flow so far as heard. There is little or no | wind accompanying the storm. Fruit is now so far advanced that there is no dan- ger from anything but an exceedingly heavy frost, and the outlook is for a bet- ter and heavier crop than for many years. LSt Big Crops in Glenn County. GERMANTOWN, March 2.—Rain fell in torrents this evening, .2 of an inch falling 1n ten minutes. Creeks that have been practically dry for the past.iwo vears are now running full bank. Glenn County is assured of a heavy crop, and with continued faverable weather if will be unprecedented.

S Coaxing Forth the Grain. SAN LUIS OBISPO, March 24—For the last forty-elght hours rain has been de- scending without a moment’s intermis- ston. The ground is thoroughly satura ed, and grass and grain are showing phe- nomenal growth. High water vesterday and to-day prevented the stages making their corinections with coast towns north, of this city. The fall for the past twenty-" four hours was 1.68 inches; for the storm 7 inches, and for the season 14 inches. It still rains. . - Levee in Good Condition. YUBA CITY, March 24.—The precipita~ tion for the storm is 3.56 inches; for the season 14.98 inches. The rtiver is up to the nineteen-foot mark here, within one and a half feet of high water mark, and rising glowly. The levee is in good condi- on yet. L The San Benito Is Bank Full. HOLLISTER, March 24.—The San Benl- to River is running bankfull for the first time in four years. Rain has fallen con- tinuously the past twenty-four hours.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 25.— Managers Culver of Stanford and Frank- lin of Berkeley met in San Francisco yes- terday and fixed the date for the intercol- leglate field day at April 22. They decided to hold the meet at one of the colleges, thus taking a step toward holding all ath- letic contests on college grounds. Bach manager wants the contest to take place on his own campus. The affair will prob- ably be settled by holding the field day on the Berkeley track, as it is more con- veniently situated for San Francisco sup- porters of intercollegiate contests. e Danjel T.

It will be several days before the damage can be repaired. The river road from Redding to Mid- dle Creek is under water In many places and bad washouts are reported. Until the flood recedes travel by this important route will have to be sus- pended. Reports from the east side in- | dicate that Churn Creek and Stillwater reached the highest stage recorded in three years. Many drownings have oc- curred in these creeks, but both streams | are now spanned by county bridges. The storm came from the southeast and was apparently central over Red- ding. Peal after peal of thunder ac- companied the downpour. This extraordinary precipitation, ex- tending over a vast watershed, will doubtless send the Sacramento River | up to and perhaps beyond the highest water mark. With a hundred swollen | crecks pouring their muddy floods into it, the river is rising rapidly and is al- ready impassable at the free bridge. as a stream 100 feet wide that would swim a horse is racing across the east side approach. VANDERBILT'S DINNER TO COLLEGE FRIENDS In the Center of an Oval Table Ducks and Gold Fish Swam in Pools. NEW YORK, March 24—Willlam K. Vanderbiit Jr., whose marriage with Miss Virginia, Fair Is to occur on April 4, gave his farewell bachelor dinner to-night at Sherry’'s. His guests, with few excep- tions, were classmates of his at Harvard. The arrangements for the dinner were unique. The repast was served In the marble palm room or conservatory, just off the main ballroom. Here was arranged an oval table, hollow in the center, the space being largely filled with two pools of water, in which swam ducks and gold- fish, Between the pools was a cluster of azaieas, In the midst of which played an electric’ fountain. Around the inner edge of the table was a border of potted daisies and spring violets. The walls of the palm room were covered with growing vines of Japanese asparagus, and here and there were hung cages containing canary birds, which sang throughout the ainner. There was an Hungarian band stationed just outside the palm room, but no other music. Mr. and Mrs. Oelrichs, Miss Fair and Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont dropped in for a short time about an hour before din- ner to take a look at the table. sbaiih i St o INDIGNATION MEETINGS HELD IN JAMAICA So Negotiations Are Begun Looking to a Modification of the Ob- noxious Tariff Bill.

A ‘citizen from Felton estimates that it will take $1000 to repair the road. The road between Felton and Boulder Creek is washed out. Telephone and mail service between these places has been cut off. Boulder Creek reports sixteen inches of rain for this storm up to this morning, and for the season 50.65 inches, against 19.78 last year at the same time. Felton reports sixteen inches for the storm. At Gold Gulch the mountain side seems to be moving, and an avalanche is feared. The road up the coast is in bad con- dition. The water at Liddell Creek washed the county bridge out to the ocean. The Bonny Doon road is impas- sable, and the mail carrier for the first time since the postoffice was estab- lished " could not carry the mail. On account of the high water at Big Creek no electric power is furnished, and In consequence Santa Cruz is in darkness and without electric car ser- vice or any power to operate the powder works. At the powder works a por- tlon of the flume has been washed away and the dam of the Hihn Water ‘Works on Branciforte Creek has been carried out.

LOS ANGELES, March 24.—The merry war between the trustees of the Public Library and Mrs. Harriet C.

Cer- tainly the board members are not doing themselves any good by a continuation of this fight. I have asked them to resign. I am confident they will do so at to-mor- row’'s meeting. If they do not, I will makd an effort to see that they are re- doing the public any moved.” It is wh!i‘pered around the City Hall that Councfiman Toll tried to get the members of the Council together for a special meeting. If he had been able to round up his celleagues and induce Presi- dent Silver to call the meeting there would be no library board to-day. Cer- tain members of the library board for a time were “on the anxious seat.” Some were closeted early in the office of Presi- dent Dockweiler. The board members are not anxious to be forced out. When President Dockweiler approached | Mrs. Wadleigh and demanded the keys, books and papers, Mys. Wadleigh replied with emphasis: “I absolutely decline to turn over the keys to you, Mr. Dockweiler, and further, I wish to say that I refuse to recognize your demand on the ground that you have failed to observe your own laws. The board has declared that I am no longer librarian, but it has not shown that ‘good cause’ which its laws demand and which right and justice demand. Until that time I maintain that I am still librarian, lt‘_t'xm ?. u;ere resolution voted does not alter e fact.” S B Merry Goes to Salvador.
