RECALLED | ISACRAMENTO A ND AMERICAN RIVERS ARE SLOWLY RISING \l l\L llth TB Soft, Warm Rains That Prevall in the Mountains Cause the Snow to Melt, and, Although the Feeders of These Streams Are Booming, No SAC "RAMENTO, Feb. 24 —To-day wit- | considerable rise in the mento River, but the water can reach | nearly four feet higher without endan- gering the banks. Such a rise is not cra- locked for, since the water would flow | over the Yolo levee, on the opposite | side, before it could attain such a | height. Reports received from all | ! points to-day confirm the belief that a | | perfod of high water may be expected | to-morrow, to continue so long as the €oft, warm rains prevail in the moun- tains, ing the snow to melt and making all the feeders of the American | and Sacramento rivers boom. A great mass of driftwood, consisting in large . | part of cut logs from the mountain | lumber camps, is being carried past | Sacramento by the rapid and fast wid- ening current. The down river farm- ers, who have reclaimed their valuable lands by buiiding high levees around them, are experiencing much .alarm, since the height of the river at this point—nearly twenty-six feet—indicates that the danger line has been reached | farther down the stream. The usual relief in such an emergency comes from | breaks in the weak levees on the Yolo | side, which may be expected to-mor- row. ramento each year suffers from reports from high water and im- pending floods, but as a matter of fact the cit s perfectly safe and the citi- zens express no fear of trouble. At some places in the mountains and val- leys the rainfall for the last twenty- four hours has reached more than two and one-half inches, On the Oroville branch of the South- rn Pacific Railroad the water had risen such an extent that no trains were ning to-day, while on the line be- tween Woodland and Marysville no e trains were running farther than Chandler ion. The railroad com- pany ing for still higher water at vailey points to-morrow, weather bureau has warned all residents that danger line river stages may be reached by to-morrow. MARYSVILLE SHUT OUT. Flood Waters Cut Off City From the | Outside World. —For the last | city of Marys- | ractically shut out from rld by flood water, which r to-night is slowly rising. adily all night and neariy twenty-four hours the has been i continues at this writing. 7 is this the case all through but reports received here | the statement from the | f the Yuba and Feather rivers that the same conditions have | existed at those points for the last | twenty ur hours. The Yuba River | registers 19:7 feet, and with the Feather continuing to rise. It is expected that the high water mark, 21 feet, will be reached before morning. The country to the north, south and west is flooded. The levre along the south bank of the Yuba near the Brad- ley farm has given way in four differ- | ent places and a large volume of wa- ter is pouring out over the country | to the south between this city and | Reeds station. Farmers from that sec- | tion say the water extends as far as the eve can see. However, it is be- | lieved that but little damage will re- sult in that section, as the water runs off quickly when the river recedes. Some livestock has been drowned, but the loss is not heavy. The levee break- ing shuts out all travel from the south atland except by rail. The | Landing and Oroville route of | 1e Southern Pacific line is inundated for several miles and no trains were | run to-day. | The rapid rise of the Feather River | to-day cut off travel from the north and from Sutter County. | So far as the city of Marysville is | concerned, no trouble is anticipated, as the levee system is in excellent condi- tion. No chances are being taken, how- | ever, men patrolling the great dykes | day and night. The break on the south side has lessened the strain. Reports from the Government barriers on the Yuba say that the water has passed the high water mark and is rising at the rate of 10 inches per hour. Some alarm is felt by merchants and they are moving their goods to high places. Every available man is being hired by the city‘to patrol the levee. i RAIN FALLS AT SALINAS. \l‘r«nplmuon Comes in Time to Prove of Value to Monterey County. SALINAS, Feb. 24—A mild south- easterly wind has developed a drizzling rain that promises to be of great value | to this county. The rain began falling about € o'clock this evening and has | continued steadily ever since. The to- | tal precipitation for the season in the upper part of the Salinas Valley has been about five inches. Salinas has had to date 4.42 inches. In the lower sections of the county around Soledad, King City and San Lucas the totals} have been less. In spite of the fact that the average is much smaller than usual the prospects are fair. The hills, which three weeks ago were bare, are rapidly showing in feed. From Jolon and the catitle sections of the county reports are that the cattle will pull through if no heavy frosts come. In the valley many of the farmers will | raise hay, and, with the usual spring rains, the northern part of Monterey County will show a large acreage in | beets. The present stretch of mild weather has started feed of all sorts and has greatly relieved the fears of a dry year. Around San Miguel and along the line of San Luis Obispo Coun- ty reports state that the cattle will pull through and the spring rains in- sure plenty of feed. REPLT 2 QL TS ADDITIONAL LANDSLIDES. Trains on the California Northwestern Railroad Are Delayed. SANTA ROSA, Feb. 24—Two addi- tional landslides occurred on the Cali- fornia Northwestern Railroad to-day, making a total of five within the past few days. The heavy rainfall is re- sponsible for the slides. About five miles north of Cloverdale a slide oc- curred during the night gnd a large force of men was put to work to re- move it. The train from Ukiah was more thar an hour late reaching Clo- verdale, and the train from that city | confident of a large yield. Serious Damage Is Expected —————a was held until the arrival of the one from the north. This made the morn- ing train to San Francisco late reach- ing the metropolis. The Ukiah express was caught behind a second landslide in the afternoon and did not pass through this city until after 5 o’clock, more than an hour behind time. The rains have ceased and there will prob- | ably be no further trouble on the road. High water is reported from all sec- tions, especially in the vicinity Guerneville. The Laguna and Green Valley creeks are quite high. The to- "nun of the naval appropriation bill in tal rainfall for the season in this city is 29.94, as compared with 23.15 at a corresponding date last year. BTG Plenty of Rain at Aubufn. AUBURN, Feb. 24—Twenty-five of | inches of rain have fallen here this sea- ' son, six of which have fallen within the last forty-eight hours. The fall of last night and to-day has been almost un- precedented. overflowing and many washouts are reported. The extreme warm weather has caused the snow to melt high up in the mountains and fears are enter- | tained for those living along the Sacra- mento River. The American River at this point is extremely high. The grass shows a wonderful growth and stock- men are happy. men have their crops all in and are The fruit men are also counting on an abundant harvest. SAETI Santa Clara Valley Gets Wetting. SAN JOSE, Feb. 24.—Rain began fall- ing early this morning and from 10 o’clock to darkness there was a heavy downpour. A light rain is falling this evening and every indication points to an all-night storm. Half an inch of | rain-fell to-day, making a total of 6.25 for the season. Up to this time last year 10.12 inches of rain had fallen. The rain this year has come at opportune times, it all soaking into the ground | and not causing floods. Good hay and | grain crops are assured with the pres- | | ent storm and the feed op the hill ranges will ba given a good start. The present storm just comes right for the | ure for the day. The streams are full to, The hay and grain | orchardists and will greatly benefit the fruit trees, bud. which will soon begin to S B (o Stockton Farmers C STOCKTON, Feb. —The rain con- tinues and the farmers are crying enough.” Rain has fallen almost con- inuously since last night and there is no sign of a let-up. The ground has received a good wetting in all parts of the county. High water is reported east of Stockton, though it is believed there is no immediate danger of a flood. The crop outlook could not be better. LR R A Rivers Higher Than for Ten Years. UKIAH, Feb. 24.—All day yesterday and last night rain continued and this morning the creeks and rivers were higher than they have been for ten years. Communication with Willits has been cut off and trains have arrived to- day by transferring over the slides. Foster Valley is entirely cut off and no stage arrived to-day. - WEATHER l\'l'l"RFl‘llES WITH POLO TOURNAMENT Dates for the lnlel'nallonal Contests Will Be Selected at an Early Day. The international polo tournament, “Enough.” | which was to have been commenced at the Burlingame Country Club on | Saturday, has been postponed. As | there has been but little rain at Mon- terey the English poloists prefer to re- main there until the weather becomes ttled in this district. The splendid Del Monte field affords both players and their ponies an ex- cellent exercise ground. E. Ezra, the East Indian player, who was injured on Monday, may be out of the game for a month. He has water on the knee as the result of his fall. His absence will materially weaken the English team. The officers of the Californian Polo and Pony Racing Association expect to hold a meet at Tanforan on March 12 and 14. Thomas H. Williams of the California Jockey Club was one of the first members of the Pony Racing As- sociation. He takes a deep interest in the welfare and the members are un- der many obligations to him for the use of Tanforan track and for other | the Department of Commerce and La- | thoughtful courtesies. RAINFALL IS HEAVY. Rivers in Northern Part of State Are Running Unusually High. The rainfall was heavy yesterday throughout Central and Northern Cal- ifornia. Professor McAdie of the !

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24.—Ben Zaracharias, a member of the national executive board of the Fitters’ and Cutters’ Union, was to-day ordered by | a magistrate to leave the city immedi- ately. He was arrested at the instance of the Arnojd Louchim Company. cloth- ing manufscturers, who advertised in New York for cutters and fitters. The garment workers here are on strike.

Two storm centers were encountered in considera- the House to-day. First, the great lakes training station went out of the bili on a point of order, after a wordy | battle. The building programme pro- posed in the bill then met criticism and | blocked further progress of the meas- Burton of Ohio, the echoes of whose sensational speech for | peace on Monday had hardly died out, | moved to strike out. the provision for | the single battleship authorized. This motion is now pending. It served as a text, after Burton had supplemented | his Monday’s speech with figures show- ing that the United States was build- ing more naval vessels than any ofher European country except Great Britain, for several Republican speeches, in which Burton was declared not to be in line with his party. In the event of the defeat of this motion and the ac- | ceptance of the whole building pro- morrow by Representative Meyer of Louisiana to have the bill recommitted to the Naval Committee with the fol- lowing instructions: First, to provide for a coaling station and dock at Olangapo, P. L, instead of a naval station; second, to eliminate the provision for two armored cruisers, and the armor thereof, costing $15,000,- 000; third, to place a limit of $398 per ton as a maxiMum price for armor plate, with the provision for an armor plate factory to cost not over $4,000,- 000 if the armor cannot be procured within the limit prescribed; fourth, that all vessels herein provided for under | the head of “increase of the navy" ex- cept the battléship, be constructed in | Government navy yards. After extended discussion of various sites the paragraph in the bill provid- ing for a naval training statien was ruled out of the bill, Cooper insisting on the point of order. ! Burton of Ohio, in moving to strike | from the bill the authorization for a | new battleship, resented criticisms | which he said had been made against him for his speech on Monday against the proposed naval programme. It had been said that he was out of lihe with | R the Republican party. This he denied | vigorously. He justified his position by comparing the battleship construc- | tion this year with that of other na-l tions of the world. Our construction, he said, was larger than usual. In naval expenses the United States was, he said, with the exception of Great Britalm, 50 per cent ahead of any Euro- pean nation. Grosevnor of Ohio criticized Burton's position. He read the plank on the navy in the Ohio Republican platform of 1903, on which, he said, the late la- | mented Senator Hanna was so tri- umphantly indorsed. This plank, he said, Burton had certainly indorsed, or at least he had not repudiated it. It As America’s part in preserving the peace of the world, we indorse the Republican policy of developing the United States navy to the high- est efficiency. “Peace on earth and good will among men depended on good ships and good guns,” was Grosvenor’'s announced doc- trine. He appealed to the Democrats: | “Don’t forsake the only good thing there is in your record. Don't go off after new idols.” At 5:04 p. m. the House adjourned. . s SENATE COMMITTEE CURTAILS CAB BILL Unnecessary Expenses Are Cut Off in | Appropriations for Various Federal Departments.

Congressman Asks Pertinent Question About the Philippines. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Repre- sentative Williams to-day introduced a resolution requesting the Secretary of War to inform the House “whether and to what extent since the close of the war the right of free speech and of free political action prevail in the Philippine Islands, and particularly whether any laws are In force which deny or in any respect abridge the right of the inhabitants of those isl- ands to express through the press, by petition or in orderly public meetings, the independence of their country by peaceable separation from the United States, and if such laws are still in force, why they are necessary in time of peace.” R (N L TWO LIGHT VESSELS FOR SAN FRANCISCO Boats Now Being Constructed in the East Will Be Shipped at Once.
