The Washington Post has opco mora u.s.
auu1ed 10 mhrk out tic details Of the reSolu-
tionary programme Of tho Democracy ut tho
extra session. It was true prophet at tho
last trial, when tho plan Of defeating tic mp
propriations and compelling tho call of
another session was announced, and its pre-
dlotions aro liable to bs verified again. Tho
Post undoubtedly speaks for tho bulldozing
aloment of Tho party when It announces that
the Legislative bill will DO promptly passed.
precisely In tho form that it passed tho
lust House, and Ihon, If 1t is vetoed
by tho President, tliero will bo no
attempt to pass tho bill over his
yoto, but both Houses will at oace adjourn,
leaving the Legislative and Army appropria-
tions unprovided for, and tho Government
without funds to keop 1t in operation. ThiH
Is precisely tho kind Of atatosmnuship that IL
by tho Republicans rolled upon to insure
their success In tho uext Presidential oa,u,
paign, and 1t really looks az II tho usual
opportune laundering Of the Democracy WINS

The City Of Szegdiu, in Southeastern Hun

most terrible catastrophcs Of modern ttmea,
Tho city contains some 80, 900 Inhabitants,
aud is situated on Tho River Theiss, which
runs through ita contro. It appoars that the
1and is very low md marshy, and in orli.
nary times levoos or artificial banks ars
needed to keep tho rivor from encroaching
upon tho dwellors Of tho town. Tho
spring floods from tho Carpathian Mountains
have SGT in and the river, swollen to m nn-
prccedented hight, has broken It's banks and
inundated tho entire city and surrounding
country. Buildings Of every description
have boen swept away by tho force
Of tho angry waters, and noarly
the entire population aro rendered
hon,eloss. Tho loss Of life, it is cs-
timatcd, will bo great, and the suffering con-
sequent upon this sudden and cruching
visitation will be foartul. Alre ady the cry
for food is heard, and the prospect Of carly
relief is not encouraging. Tho aight is said
