Dakota Southern Railroad between Sioux
CITY and Vermillion, on the Nebraska side,
together with large tract of land This will
be tremendous cut off, but is not at all
strange with this river. No damage has vet
been done at Omaha to any extent, as it is
not expected that the flood will reach It's
hight until sometime tomorrow.
BISMARCK, April 4th-The Missouri is
now in its banks, but there is gorge seven
miles long on Poplar river above Fort Bu-
ford. No great damage has occurred yet.
The Senate Deadlock.
WASHINGTON, April 4th.-The decision of
the Republican caucus to-day that the pres
emit struggle for the possession of the Senate
offices shall be continued without any change
of programme was a great surprise to most
outsiders. and the practical unanimity with
which it was reached gave the action an ad-
ditional element of surprise, even for those
who most strongly desired it. The arguments
were based upon considerations of principle
and expedieucy, which do not seem to meet
with the same prompt acquiescence in Re-
publican circles nearer to the Execu-
tive Mansion and throughout the city
generally; but as it is known that
several of the Presidents warmest friends in
the Senate were among the strongest adyo-
Gates of the policy adopted to-day, there is
no room for constituting the caucus programme
to be a measure OF delay engineered by Conk-
ling against the confirmation of the nomina-
tions which he is opposing. The extent to
which the session will be prolonged by this
renewed determir alton of the Republicans,
and the ultimate result are of course still a
matter of mere conjecture but it is evident
that the Democrats will have greatly the ad-
vantage of position if the contest settles
down to a simple question of endurance, for
they may delay action upon the pending reso-
luton for an absolutely indefinite period by
keeping about dozen of their number in the
chamber at any one time to demand roll calls
on alternating dilatory motions whereas the
Republicans cannot possibly bring the reso-
luton to the point of passage, or prevent the
success of motions to go into executive SEES
sion unless they maintain their full voting
force, either by actual presence or by secur.

The Diseased Pork Question.
New YORK, April 4th.-From advance
cultural association the following is ex.
tracted: On the strength of report issued
by George Crump, acting Counsel in Phila.
delphia in December last, much excitement
has arisen over the pork product of the
United States. This Association has made
an extensive investigation of the subject in
the interests of American producers, and
finds that there is no occasion whatever for
the scare. Crump speaks of hog cholera,
not of trichinosis. as the prevalent
disease. That the former exists and has
existed to an extent most injurious
to the producers it would be folly to deny
but it has not affected the pork product, for
the reason that animals dying from this OF
ha
marketed for food. From cholera the farmer
only is the sufferer. Trichinosis exists, but
to more limited extent, probably, than any
disease known TO men. 1t is believed that it
never Injuries a hog, and scientific experts
unite in the statement that it never can enter
the human system except through INSULT
GENTLY cooked meat, in which it should hap
pen to exist. AS to danger from the use of
American pork products, either by home or
foreign consumers, there is absolutely none.
First, from the almost total absence of tri-
chinosis; second, through the protection of
cooking.
New YORK, April 4th.-The Commercial
Builet'n says The death Of Mrs. Bonhols of
Hoboken, from the effects of eating some
product of hogs, and the illness of her hus-
band with the same disease, following as it
has upon the reports set ON foot by the Brit
ish Consul at Philadelphia, to the effect that
100000 hogs had died in Illinois of cholera,
have had depressing influence on the pro.
vision trade. Mr.. Goulard of Goulard, Rouse
Bostwick, the most prominent pork in-
spectors in the city, under license from the
Produce Exchange, has made an investiga-
ton. He discovered the firm which sup
piled the house from which the sausages
were obtained which were eaten by Mrs.
Bonhols, and finds that they were of foreign
manufacture.
Beeeher's Liberal Views.
NEW YORK, April 4th.-A hush fell upon
Plymouth Church yesterday, and every ear
was strained when Beecher said he would re-
late incident which he had never spoken
Of before. he remarked playfully that he
would now tell it confidentially. "There
came to me, he said, "a member of my own
church, the mother of young woman, who
said her daughter had become fascinated with
the Roman worship, and wanted to unite
with that Church. | said to her, Tell your
child to wait one year, until her own mind
and judgment are settled, and if at the
end OF that time she shall find that
she is drawn nearer to God and to heaven
through that church, let her come and we
will take her by the hand and carry her to
the door. AT the end of the year che was
still anxious TO enter that church, and | sat
down and wrote letter to an honored Cath.
ole priest Of this city, and said This lamb
has found greener pastures in your fields than
in mine She joined the Catholic Church,
and is to-day happy Christian girl in that
communion" He added, "Id do it again il
it Were necessary, for when / speak of unity
Of all that believe in the Lord Jesus Christ |
mean it" In this connection the preacher
also said: " would rather ride in the most
ragged third. class car that was ever
put on a rail, if it would take me nearer
home, than in the most luxurious parlor
car that ever was built, il it would take
me further from home" There was sensa.
ton and the utmost stiffness when this story
was told.
