Tho Florida Conressions-wooa
Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 27th.-The
Florida confessions have spent
their force and nobody need fear
further serious attempts to Dust
Hayes. No wise man of any party
thinks of going behind the Return
ing Board of Congressional inven-
ton and creation. The Electoral
Commission, whatever the original
faults were, their decision will be
maintained as II finally. These
confessions are found on analysis to
contain nothing really new; they
are only sensational rehash of
both the Republican and Demo-
cratic examinations and recrimina-
tions during the count.
The chances for Woods tariff bill
do not seem to improve. Even
prominent free traders deuounce it
as anything but an intelligent eff
fort to put the tariff on a revenue
basis. Some declare it poll
ticians' tariff and not a bill for
sound business men of any interest,
either among protectionists or free
traders.
Eioad at Dendwooa.
DEADwooD, April 27.-Thursday
night the raft that is used for trans
ferring passengers and mail across
the Cheyenne river, on the Sidney
route, capsized when in the middle
of the stream. All the mail and
baggage was lost and the passen-
gers narrowly escaped drowning.
On account of the rapidly melting
snow in the mountains, which has
swollen the already dangerously
high creeks that run through
Deadwood, and the rain storm
which set in this evening, great
fears are entertained that the bust
ness centre of this city will be seri-
ously damaged by floods. The
District Court was adjourned to-
day on account of water flowing
into the court room. All the deeds
and papers are being removed from
the recorders Office, which is in the
path of the raging waters, to place
of safety. A large gang of men are
ct work tearing down the bridges
and small buildings that obstruct
the free passage Of the water.

day passed the annual Indian ap.
preparation bill without one wore

controversies concerning individual

commonly consumed at least q
weeks additional time.
