SENATE.

WAsHINGTON, April Ex-senator Morgan
asked leave to offer concurrent resolution
declaring that the interests of the people
of the United States of America and the
welfare and security of government are so
involved in the subject of the construction
of ship canals or other ways for transport
ton of sea going vessels across the 18th
mus connecting North and South America
that the government of the United States
with frankness which is due to another
people and the governments hereby asserts
that its consent is necessary condition
precedent to the execution of such project
and also as to the rules and regulations
under which other nations shall participate
in the use of such canals or other ways
either in peace or war. Dawes objected to
the resolution not so much on account of
the sentiments contained in it as on account
OF the fact that it made necessary the con-
currence of the house of representatives.
Senator Morgan modified his resolution,
making it Senate resolution, and it was
referred to the committee of foreign rela-
tions.
Senator Harrison moved to go into exec
utive session, stating there were three
hundred nominations awaiting action.
Lost-23 to 90.

ST. PAUL, MINI, April 27.lThe river
rose steadily all night, and stood II feet 8
inches above low water mark this morning.
Through the forenoon the rise has been
slow, and it is supposed that the crisis Is
nearly reached. No unusual rise above the
mouth of the Minnesota, and as the Mime
sofa is falling it is supposed the chief vol
ume of water has passed here. Some trou-
bic is anticipated below, however At
noon nearly the whole West Paul fats
were covered with water, no ground being
visible. except the elevated road
way. All that can be seen is
the tops of submerged mills and houses
whose foundations are under water. The
island in the middle of the river is sub
merged. The wagon bridge is wholly COW
cred by water, as well as the lower floors
of most houses on fiat land, and the inhab
itants have either moved out or taken re-
fuge in the upper floors. The only com
munication from house to house is by boats
The damage will be confined to wetting the

FORESTS ON FIRE

PORT JERvIs, April 24.-The mountains
in all directions are again on fire and are
burning fiercely. Point Peter one of the
popular Sunday summer resorts, lying just
beyond the outskirts of the CITY to the
northwest, is being burned over, having
been set on fire this morning by party of
boys. The mountains in Montague town
ship, Sussex county, n. j., to the south of
the city, are also on fire, and the flames
famed by the strong wind that has pre-
vailed there to-day, have been spreading
rapidly until several farm houses and other
buildings are now threatened, and the
farmers are out fighting the fire.
The church and school house at
the Glove are threatened, and only
vigorous efforts can save them. On the
western slope of the Shawangunk range a
large fire has been started by sparks from
a locomotive on the Erie railway, which is
spreading over the entire mountain side
Another fire has been burning all the after
noon on Broad Mountain, in Pike county,
Pennsylvania, just across the river from
this city. The whole mountain is ablaze,
and it is feared the fire will spread all
through the forests. But little alarm is
felt in this city, althoug the flames may
communicate from Point Peter to some of
the suburban residences. Should the pres
ent high wind continue for several days,
great damage will be done in the forests
around here.
BY the most strenuous efforts the fires
on Point Peter have been almost extin-
guished The others are still burning.

ATTEMPTING TO cI-TAIEvEE

CHICAGO, April 27.-A despatch from
Quincy, H., says that an attempt was
made to cut the Lima Lake levee near there
yesterday. Three men were at work trying
to break the embankment but were dis
covered by farmer who shot one Of them.
The man fell into the pit which he was
digging, but was carried by by his com
panions to a boat which they had anchored
near by, and the three made their escape.
1t was not known how badly the man was
injured, neither is there clue to the iden-
tity of the offenders or what motive they
had. Had they succeeded in breaking the
levee large area would have been flooded
and great damage would have resulted. A
shovel, the handle of which was covered
with blood, and found near the depot where
the men were digging, and there was a
pool of blood where the wounded man fell.
Another hours work would have created a
crevasse. The levee is now guarded.

the company should not have its tracks
completed to Laredo in June, to Monterey,
336 miles from Corpus Christi in Decem-
ber and San Lucis Potosi, by the close of
next year. A meeting line is being built
by the same company from the City of
Mexico northward. There is heavy
force On the latter section. The heaviest
work, including two difficult tunnels, will
be completed and the road open to Toluco

GREEN BAY, Wis, April 27.-A horrible
case has just been developed before the
district attorney. A woman in the town of
Humboldt, this county, was in labor, which
was progressing satisfactorily while the ar

while there were present two or three of
1cious women. When the child presented
itself and before it was fairly in the world,
one of these meddlesome females seized the
protruding offspring and wrenched an arm
from the shoulder socket. OF course the
child died, and the woman died soon after.
