The gates of the Pan-American exposition grounds were closed to-day and every available man was Iut to work to offset the effect of the great April snowstorm of last week. The damage to the buildings is slight and can be quickly repaired, but the delay in the landscape work and the building of roadways in a severe blow to thoe who have been bending every energy to have the grounds In a thoroughly finished condition by May 1. It was intended to have this part of tho work so complete that it would be possible to have a ceremonial marking the opening lay of the exposition. There was to be a jiurnde to the exiKsition grounds by the organizations of the National Uuard, and other functions of an appropriate character. Up to last Thursday everything pointed to the working out of this programme. The storm, however, put a different aspect on matters, and a conference was held today to consider the situation. It was decided that while the exposition gates would be opened on the first of May, the formal ceremonies designed for opening day would be consolidated with thoe of "dedication Jay," on May 10. Another Storm Mt lilengo. CHICAGO. April 21. A rale blowing fifty miles nn hour swept over Lake Michigan to-day, and. according to Weather Observer Cox, the Ohio storm had crept back upon the lake coast. Professor Cox prophesies that the wind will continue to-morrow, with snow flurries and rain. The torm was felt most on the lake and along the Fhore.

ANARCHY DEFINED.

Prince KrnpotUin AridremeA n C'li Icaigo Andiene on the Cult. CHICAGO. April 21.-In an address at the Central Music Hall to-night on "Philosophy of Anarchism" Prince Peter Krapotkln said: "It is with deep emotion that I address an audience on anarchism In a city that has been the scene of a tragedy that has lost to us four of our excellent comrades, whom we regret not to have with us to-night, lighting for the emancipation of mankind. Their names are not forgotten in Europe, nor in any place "where the light is being carried on in the cause for which they bravely died. "When your billionaire, Mr. Carnegie, gives away his millions he does not give so much as one man of science gives when he risks his life 10 add to the knowledge of mankind in exploration or otherwise. Wlr-n we talk of anarchy those unfamiliar with our ideas assert that we sire preaching violence and the destruction of civilization, lt is not true. Violence Is something that is r.ot characteristic of Anarchists or the Anarchist party. In the thirty years in which 1 have been affiliated with their principles the violence has ;-.ot been of our doing. When some man in a moment of Insanity commits a crime, then your doctrines teach that society also must commit murder. We proclaim the principle that no man nor society lias the rihi to take another man's life. When you believe in these principles, then you have become an Anarchist."

YOKOHAMA, April 22. -The Korean government, according to advices just received fiom Seoul, the capital of Korea, has decided to borrow from France 5,0e),oo0 yen for the purpose of constructing the Northern Railway from Seoul to Wiku. It is asrerted that It was his objection to pledging the Korean customs as security for this lean which created a desire in certain quarters for the dismissal of Mr. McLeavy Drown, director general of the Korean customs. According; to the same advices Vice Admiral Seymour and Sir Claude MaeDonald. British minister to Japan, have arrived at Chemulpo, Korea, on board the British cruiser Powerful, and it is expected that they will have audience of Kmperor Hieung.

The statements that Russia has proposed to Japan an entente regarding the far East and offered to reduce her Indemnity claim to jno.OitO.OOO on condition that China signs the Manchurian convention and grants further concessions in connection with the Siberian Railway are declared to be quite unfounded. On the contrary, Russia is determined, it is asserted on high authority, to enter into no negotiations with China in the present circumstances. Maiicliurlnn Itnllroml Attacked. LONDON, April 22. "Chinese rebels have again attacked the Manchurian railway," says the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Telegram. "They have destroyed 150 versts of line, removed the rails and broken up the rolling stock. Moreover, they have killed nearly a wMole detachment of railway guards. Troops have been sent from Amur province to the scene of attack." Widespread Famine in Slinn-SL WASHINGTON. April 21. Called upon today by the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage.

About ten feet more wattr and the gas and electric lights will be shut off. leaving the city in darkness, and that stage Is coming. Backwater has caused much damage, extending out into the country for miles. Dig: Jump nt Portsmouth. PORTSMOUTH, O., April 21. The Ohio river reached a stag? of forty-nine fett here at 7 o'clock to-night. It rose steadily threo and one-half Inches an hour till 1 o clock, when it jumped to four and onehalf inches, which was maintained to-night. It rained and snowed alternately all day. and is raining to-night. The Scioto river is lunnlng out heavy. It is expected that filty-elrfht feet will come here, and the city i protected to that stage by dykes. Above that stage over hilf the town, including many business houses, will be under water. At 1) p. rn. the river passed tifty feet here, and was rising four and a half inches per hour with both the Scioto and the Little Scioto rivers out of their banks. Itivermen predict live feet more rise In the Ohio. All are moving from the lower lands. A levee ne,;r LucasvilJe is weakening. Should it burst a solid wall of the Scioto will play havoc in that section. Watchmen are giving warning to the people. Residents of small river towns in this county to-night are taking to the hills. At Sciotoville and Wheelersburg the situation is serious. All of the people at New Boston are In tents. Over Sn families in these districts have been driven from their homes.

At 9 p. ni. the river is forty-one feet four inches and rising two inches an hour. The top notch Is expected in an hour or two, with lefs than forty-two feet. This stage shuts Wheeling entirely out of outside communication by rail, and only the big Cincinnati liners are able to run now, and irate residents along the river banks are firing frequently at the boats because the swell Irom them is washing the foundations away from their houses. To-night Wheeling Island man fired at the packet Keystone State and at a passing towboat, but the shots were without effect. In Wheeling. Bellaire, Bridgeport, Benwood and Martin's Ferry about 5'X houses have been entered by the water, most of the families moving to upper lloors. Nearly every manufacturing establishment in the Wheeling district is shut down, and cannot resume until Tuesday. At Martin's Ferry the water destroyed 500.000 brick owned by the Belmont Brick Company, entailing a loss of J2D.UU0 to JO.Oot). There are smaller losses at other plants, aggregating probably ?40.uu). Taking the loss of business, railroad landslides and Industrial losses the aggregate cost of the flood in this district is at least JlUO.Ouu, probably more. Above Martin's Ferry James Ford, a miner, discovered the Cleveland & Pittsburg track washed out. Knowing a northbound passenger train was due in thirtyminutes he returned a part of the distance and succeeded in stopping the train a few yards from certain destruction. The Ohio River Railroad has a number of landslides and considerable washed-out track below Wheeling. Involving a big loss and suspension of traffic for several days. On the Baltimore & Ohio's Wheellng-Pittsburg division there Is a landslide at Claysvllle, preventing through trattie between the two cities. There will be much distress in the district, most of the losers by the flood being the poorer class. Fnited States Senator N. B. Scott wires the Intelligencer from Washington contributing $."x for relief. Section Director E. C. Vose. of the Parkersburg signal station, wires to-night predicting forty-eight feet at Parkersburg and says the later rains at headwaters may bring cut a second rise on top of the present flood stage. This, however. Is believed to be of the alarmist order. .Much timber has been lost in the Little Kanawha river. A report from Marietta.

The loss by the flood here to-day is estimated at a ouarter of a million dollars. The lower business district is under water, and many of the smaller houses have been carried from their foundations and washed away. A rise etf five feet more will tloed half" of the business se-ction, including hotels. A rise of ten f'-et is expected, from reports above the river, and it will submerge the business section. Including the newspaper othces. Two men were drowned to-day in the Little Kanawha. Relief committees have been organised. Great Damage In Went Virginia. HFNTINGTON. W. Va., April 21. At C o'clock this evening the rain and snow, which have been falling for seventy-eight hours, ceased. The Ohio has passed the danger line of fifty feet and u still rising :t.9 inches an hour, with the Guyardotte. Big Sandy, Tug and Twelve Pole also rising rapidly at all points. Fully ten feet more water is expected here. The Kanawha and New rivers also are still rising. Great damage has resulted throughout tne southern and central portions of the State. There Is much suffering among people compelled to seek quarters in the hills along the Guyandotte and Twelve Pole. Carter Slatington was drowned in Tug river and John Swanson drowned in Guyandotte while endeavoring to save property. Catlettsburg. CVredo. Central City. Dlngess, Dunlow. liarboursvllle and many smaller towns are suffering heavily. Owing

April 21.-Pittsburg and Allegheny are slowly emerging from the murky flood. At S o'clock to-night the rivers were receding nearly a foot an hour. The highest point reached at Davis island dam was 25.S feet at S o'clock in the morning, which means twenty-eight feet at the Junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers. The water remained stationary until about 3 o'clock, when it began to fall. Conservative estimates of the total damage in this district is between $2.000.000 and i,ox.coo. Fifty thousand workers are suffering from enforced idleness. While there have been greater floods at this point there was never one that caused so much financial loss and discomfort. This was due to the dense population caused by the recent rapid growth of the two cities and to the fact that all the manufacturing plants on the river banks were In active operation. Most of them were working night and day until the rising water put out the tire s and drove the workers to higher ground. Among the plants flooded wholly or in juirt are the Groetslr.ger tannery. Callery tannery. Standard Ice Company, Armstrong-McKelvay Company, Luty & Schramm pickling works, McGraw's tannery, Carlin foundry ami machine shops, Pittsburg Provision Company, Walker's works, diaries bit works, Baker Manufacturing Company.

The loss to the railroads entering Tittsburg from flood. landslides. wrecked! bridges, heavy snow and the interference with traflic is estimated at $1,000,000. On the Fort Wayne the worst trouble was a enow blockade between Salem and Masslllon. O. This began Saturday morning and tied up the road In twenty-four hours. At 9 o'clock this morning the track was cleared and trains began moving. The same trouble kept the Cleveland trains on the Pittsburg & Lake Erie late, five trains having blockaded at Windom, near Leavittsburg, for twenty-five hours. This snow fall did not extend east of Newcastle, but at Youngstown it was two feet deep and drifts in the cuts north of that city were up to locomotive headlights. The wreck of an Erie train blocked the road so that deep drifts formed. Water was two feet deep on the Lake Erie tracks at Sawmill Run, but trains got through. MANY LANDSLIDES. Big landslides oecurrexi on the Pittsburg & Lake Erie, the Baltimore & Ohio at Soho, on the Pan-handle, on the South Side, the Bessemer at several points and the Allegheny valley, near Franklin, Pa. Tho slide at the last-named point was about l.V feet long anil it required fourteen hours' work to clear one track. Through eastbound trains were loaded at Thirty-third street, passengers being transferred by street cars. At Skobo. between Monaco and Alequlppa, the Lake Erie received its most serious landslide. One hundred feet of the westbound track was carried fifty feet down the steep bank, the whole face of the bank slipping down in the river. In the lines of the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore & Ohio to Wheeling great damage is reported and both lines were tied up several hours. Five miles of the Pittsburg, Bessemer & Lake Erie tracks are under water. The bank was continually sliding dowr. onto the tracks and a large force of men could not keep them clear. The damage to telegraph poles and lines along ali the roads was enormous, and It will take several days to fully repair them. Trains are now running on all roads, but no attention is paid to keeping up schedules. The submerged districts in Pittsburg anil Allegheny are to-day a scene of abject misery. Cellars and in some instances the first lloors of stores are covered with water. Where the flood has subsided It has left behind a greasy, yellow scum two or three inches deep. The residents spent all day trying to restore their homes to some degree of decency and comfort. The damage to furniture and" buildings in Allegheny is estimated at about $100.000. It will tako two months of hot summer weather to thoroughly .dry out these houses. In Pittsburg the loss to residences and stores and goods, and the cost of cleaning up. will amount to about $250.000. At Carnegie, six miles from Pittsburg, the loss Is estimated at $40,000. The Westinghouse Electric Company had two carloads of finished material for Toronto, Canada, on the tracks near Turtle Creek. They were caught in the flood and water got into the cars. The loss may reach $b0,00o. The Pittsburg baseball park is In bad condition. At noon to-day the first three tiers of chairs in the grandstand were under water and the bleachers were floating -ill over the diamond, lt will take a week to put the grounds in shape. The report to-night from Rochester. Pa., Is that the Ohio has overflowed its bank3 and a considerable portion of the city lying south of the Fort Wayne Railroad tracks is submerged. The river is still rising, and a steady downpour of rain continues. The loss to the various manufacturing plants located along the river front will be heavy. Extra forces of men are patrolling the railroad tracks, on the lookout for landslides. At Beaver Falls. Pa., the damage by the flood and storm was considerable, and several squares In the north end of the town were converted into a lake at Ninth avenue. Twenty-second and Twenty-third streets, and the houses stood in two and three feet of water. At one place the wedding of Thomas Eimes and Miss Clara Carter was to have taken place, and the driver of the carriage had to wade to the house of Miss Carter and carry the groom, the bride and the groomsman and bridesmaid to the carriage in his arms, so they could go to the church for the marriage ceremony. A couple of large landslides have occurred on the lines of the Riverview Street-car Company, where it ascends the hill to Riverview Park, and no cars ran all day. The water in the Beaver river has been falling since morning, and all danger of a flood is over. BRIDGES WASHED AWAY. The flrst communication from Washington. Pa., to-night says: "Chartler creek is a raging torrent and has overflowed its banks In hundreds of places. All traflic on the Chartlers road is blocked by the bridges being washed away and landslides, and the Baltimore & Ohio is seriously crippled. No trains have been running on the- Washington f: Waynesburg narrow gauce. and the indications are that none will be able to get through until Monday. Waynesburg is t.-olnted and much incon-. venience his resulted. The Baltimore & Ohio between this place and Wheeling is tied up, and no trains are running. Many houses are flooded in the lower sections of the town and the water is still rising." The report from Steubenvflle, O., says: "The Ohio river reached Its flood stage this evening, and after touching the twenty-nine-foot mark began to recede. The flood has wrought great damage to property in this vicinity. The Cleveland Ac Pittsburg and the Wheeling & Lake Erie railroads are under water at Mingo. At Mingo Junction the big plant of the National Steel Company is idle because of high water, which flooded the soaking pits. etc. About fifty families were rendered homeless bv the high water at that town. 'Little Italy at the lower end of the town, where two hundred Italians are housed, is submerged. In this city the paper mill, pot works and Iron works are shut down 011 account of

high water. Fully fifty families In the lowground here were compelled to move from their homes. Parts of Rush Run. Warrenton and Brilliant are under water. At Atiacanna about twenty houses were wreck d by tl.e flood.'' Reports frem up-river points received at Pittsburg up to l'J o'clock to-night are merger, but for the most part are encouraging. Oil City is the only point on the Allei.heny river whre the water it rising. It now registers !.7 feet and is rising slowly. Along the Monongahela river rain Is reI'crted at most points, but the river Is receding. Morgantnwn reports 15 feet, falling; Greensboro V. feet, falling, and Brownsville 22.2 feet, falling. Personal und Clniinrlnl Aspect. t PITTSBURG. April 21.-The storm, which was the most widespread and destructive, from a material point of view, known in years, has passed. It has left a zone of ruin two hundred miles in diameter. It was unusual in that it possessed so many different features. Cities seventy miles frcm Pittsburg were tied up by one of the worst snowstorms ever known. While the Fnowfall was from eighteen inches to three feet deep, which Is not extraordinary, the snow was so wet that it clung in weighty masses to shade and fruit trees and electric wires and poles, bearing them to the earth. It settled on steam and street railroads like wet sand, stopping all traffic. The fall was so heavy and spontaneous in pome places that the residents declare it seemed like the bursting of a snow cloud. A few miles away from these unfortunate towns were municipalities in just as dire straits from ram, but with speevlier prospect lor relief, as the rain will run olf faster than the snow can melt. Yet here. too. traflic was practically suspended. Water overflowed and washed out railroad tracks and hillsides came down and buriexl the rails, in addition nearly every town on the Ohio river between Pittsburg and Wheeling is in darkness to-night. Electriclight plants or their wires are damaged, and the gas in the mains is generally turned e ff. In previous floods this precaution was not take-n, and the result was explosions, with loss of life and property. The gas companies will wait until the water subsides sufficiently to permit nn inspection of the pipes and to repair any leaks. A remarkable feature of the -storm Is that but few fatalities directly attributable to this cause have been reported. A railroader taught in a wreck caused by a landslide and the death of an old woman from shock i-re the only ones known so far. There may lie others, but as communication is tut' fr from many populous place-? it will Ik- the er.d of the week before the total can be footed up. The money loss is just as dillicult to foot up. It muv reach $:J.uiW.ohi. The railroads think thev'have lost l,i"o ,. The loss of wages to the finny of workers in manulaeturiuB plants up and down the river.s will mount up to $.V.0oa, and the repairs to plants Will be a large sum. The damage to stores, stocks, residences and furniture in Pittsburg, Allegheny and towns and cities down the Ohio probably will reach $.jkjnMi. The telegraph companies have suffered severely, but cannot yet compute their losses. In addition there is the enormous indirect damage caused by the almost complete suspension of trade. What that amounts to no one can determine exactly, and estimates simply retleet the conservative or radical character ui the computer. lteeediiij? nt Knst Liverpool. COLUMBUS, O., April 21.-The water In the Ohio river is receding, after having reached thirty-four feet at East Liverpool. Much damage has been done in the lowlands along the river, however. Some of the potteries along the river bank are partlv submerged, and three feet of water covers the railroad tracks in places. All Sunday trains were annulled. Crrnt Domngc at YounnMovrn. YOUNGSTOWN, O.. April 21. The snow turned Into rain to-day and a disastrous flood In the Mahoning valley is feared. Warning has been sent to the people living on the lowlands along the Mahoning river. The railroads are still experiencing great difficulty in running trains.

FLOOlJ AT OTHER POINTS.

Louisville linn Little luxpectHtlon of Any Serious Da 111 a Ke. LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 21. River men say that by Tuesday night the Ohio will be Ave feet above the danger line at Louisville. No great damage is feared, however, even if this mark should be reached. Small houses on the eastern water front of tho city will probably be flooded, and this will probably be the case also in Shlppingport, en the western water front. The latter is the oldest part of the city and contains generally very small houses. It is thought no industry will be hampered by high water. Tennensee River I Boomlnß. KNOXVILLE, April 21. Snow continued to fall all day Sunday throughout the greater part of eastern Tennessee. O.i the mountains, where it has not , been melting, the snow is r.-poito, 1 to have reached a depth of nearly two feet. The rivers are, out of bounds, out along the smaller ones the greater fear has pasted. The Tennessee river, at this point, is fifteen feet, and rising rapidly. XEW EX(iLAXI) FLOODS.

'The lake is situated at an elevation of nearly one hundred feet above the town proper. A natural elam between adjacent hills forms the boundary which holds the mass of water back, and along the top of this is a roadway.

Here is another indication that some of the most audacious newspaper liars of the United States are following their trade In Porto Rico. It is altogether fortunate that Minister Loomis is able to repudiate these offensive statements, for he is an experienced diplomatist and has done good work at Caracas, and if he had talked as he has been misrepresented as talking, lt would make his return to Venezuela impossible.

SurKi-nn Performed 11 Renin rWnble Operation 111 u Si. Louinnn. ST. LOUIS. April L'l.-Dr. II. L. Nictert. superintendent of the City Hospital, has Just r rfonnrd one of the nvot remarkable operations ever recorded in the annals of surgery. It consisted of taking threa stitches in the heart of Philip (Junn. who had been tabued In a saloon brawl. The point of the knife Made had entered tho right ventricle and bad pierced to the cavity of the heart. Luckily, the knife had entered tho heart obliquely, and the resuit was that the opening between the cavity and the pericardium, or covering of, the heart. wa lip-shaped n loth tides. The wound acted as a valve, and at each pulsation of the blood through the heart but a small rjuantity escaped through the artificial opening. The task of stitching this unusual wound was a very difficult one. Dr. Nietert first removed a section of the breast bone, exposing1 the pericardium, ihe motion of the heart cannot be repressed, and Dr. Nietert was forced to make the stitchea while the heart was shifting about. It required three suture? to effectuallv clo the gap. This delicate operation finished,, the pericardium was sewed together. Tht portion of the breant bone removed could not be replaced, and the operation war concluded by stitching together the skin and the outer tissues which cover th breast. Gunn is still alive, and. as he ban a strong constitution, the physicians predict hi? recovery. Lively Time In Indjnmi. Detroit Free Press. One of Detroit's ambitious young newspaper men did not go farther than a county in the. northern tier of Indiana to tempt fate and defy fortune as the archlteet and arbiter of his own publication. Extracts from a correspondence with one of the craft in this city will serve to tell how he is getting on. "I'll admit, old man, that I have raked the hair off in getting out of some of the holes they've put rue in here. The assessors refused to take cabbages in payment for taxes, I have pretty nearly frozen when the wind was from the north, the hobo who lifted my overcoat could not have known that our town tailor never advertises, and my landlady, who i$ a motherly old soul, loses money and time in disposing of the surplus stun that I make over to her In payment of board. "But the real hard bump came on Easter. That bow-legged bulldog you gave me got it into his ugly head that Lent was over anel that he must celebrate. He whipped four or five dogs before breakfast, and I was a little untasy when I heard of it. I put him at the end of a chain and took him out for a walk before church Just to indicate that I didn't sanction his bloodthirsty propensities. He broke away and the very first thing he did was to mix up with a brlndle dog belonging to Jack Porter, and Jack is the bad man of the county. It was an awful fight, but Jack's dog was trimmed and he was the maddest man ever called a Hoosier. "To make things more interesting our dog tangled hi? chain up with a team of colts, and when it ran away there was a continuous streak of misfortune in its wake. My best friends told me to take a vacation until they brought things to a peace basis. It was certainly the liveliest Easter we have had this century. I am way back in tall timber waiting for news.

Mr. Willie K. Vanderbilt is manifesting great interest In the Uuffalo exposition. This. I suppose, is natural, owing to his large interests in the railroads which extend from here to Buffalo. Just before he left for Europe he exacted a promise from Mrs. Astor that she would visit the Pan-American. Mrs. Astor already has quarters engaged for her In Uuffalo, and she may go there immediately upon her return from Europe Instead of going direct to Newport. Mrs. Fish, Mrs. Oe Irlchs and other leaders have also promised to follow Mrs. Astor. This will surely set the fashion anel mako I.ufTalo a social center, f r whatever the New Yorkers do will certainly be imitate 1 by societv people of ether cities.
