called upon the President to-day, and also
upon the Secretary OF war, to urge the
importance OF immediate assistance on
the part oil the Government 10 the citizens

trous floods. The Governor represented

TO authorize the Issuing ol Government

floods Ia Mississippi few years ago. The
matter was referred by the President to

II his immediate attention.

Yankton and Vermillion, where the
greatest desti!ution prevails. II is hoped

THE WORKING or SECRETARY WINDOWS PLAN,
Secretary Window says, from assur.
ances already rscsivsd,he feels very much
encouraged as to his line Of policy regard.
Ing the m maturing Of the U. g. bonds, and
that judging from present indications II
would prove successful. A number Of
kilograms have been received from ma.
tional banks and other holders of six per
cent bonds announcing concurrence In
the SeCretary's plan, and saying that they
preferred 10 have the bonds extended at
three and a.half per cent rather than have
them redeemed.
A number II congressman, including
members OF the Senate finance committee,
called upon Sscretyry Window this alter.
noon, aud rendered their congratulations
upon the course adopted by him, unani.
mouSly predicting It's success. Senator
Sherman did not call, but 1t ls said at the
Department that he favora the course
which Secretary Window has decided To
pursue. There IS every reason 10 believe
that the same plan will be pursued In re.
gard to the outstanding five per cents. The
Department is busily engaged to-day In
sending out circulars and blank forms,
relative to the elk per cent. bonds aud
their conversion into 81 certificates. First
Comptroller Lawrence framed an endors.
ment 10 be placed on registered bonds,
and submitted II to Secretary Window, BY
whom 1t was adopted.
ANINus OF THE FiGHT AGAINST MAtIoNE.
The Democratic Senators are more and
more willing each day 10 admit that the
underlying cause Of their opposition to
the organisation is their desire to deprive
Mahone Of the prestige which he would
have In Virginia. II they succeeded In reor.
saniEing the Senate Offices by his vote.
There are number on the Democratic
side who believe that II this were accom-.
plished II would create 80 strong an i'm.
precision throughout Virginia that he has
control Of the Senate aud Federal patron
age as would greatly increase the strength
oil the Read usters In Virginia, aud
enable them, with such help as they
are certain 10 receive from Vir-
ginIs, 10 carry the State Ia November.
This is the only PLAUSIBLE explanation
which the Republican Senators are ao's
to give OF the Democratic resistance,
since The few Offices over which the con.
test is apparently taking place are not Of
sufficient consequence 10 hold the Demo.
cratic side solidiy united.
Oa the other hand, while The Republi.
cans are Contending for the right Of the
majority to rils az the one important ele.
inent In the contest, they see more Cleat'
ly every day ID the opportunity Afforded,
means Of breatinE the Solid South,
which to many Of them, ls the most i'm.
pottAnt element In the controversy.
The talk Ia favor OF calling al extra
session az a means Of breaking the dead.
lock has been increasing for q day or two,
but the financial policy Of the Treasury
Department announced tonight is held 10
remove, In o great degree, the prevailing
argument for an extra session, Arising
from the want Of feiunding bill. While
several methods for breaking the dead.
lock have been suggested, none oil them,
thus fat, seem 10 be practical. II seems
likely, however, that the Republican,
will caucus on the subject during the
present week,
