XLVIIth CONGRESS.
Senate-Executive Session.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Mr. Dawes called
up the resolution for the election of officers of
the Senate.
Mr.. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, said the
present issue was too plain to be misunder-
stood. The Republican side said the majority
had the right to decide who should be the
officers of the Senate. Its opponents said the
minority had. He had recently said that it
seemed to be a question of endurance The
general doctrine that the majority was entitled
to rule was not called in question. The mi
nority simply said they would resist the cleo
ton of officers by dilatory motions and pro-
longed speeches. His answer was that the Re-
publicans could not abandon the right of the
majority to rule because the minority made it
question Of endurance. He defended Mr.
Malone, and said the Democrats of the South
had appealed to Southern Democratic Senators
to cover the Senator from Virginia with oppro-
brium SO that his followers at home would not
dare to support him.
Mr.. Maxey believed the people thought
majority in the Senate had been procured by
crooked means. Certainly the people did be-
lieve that it had been obtained by methods
strange and unusual. and demanded an inyes-
tigation.
Mr.. Dawes replied in reference to the claim
made by Mr.. Maxey that the Democrats car
ried Louisiana in 1876 by 5000 majority. He
said there was difference between what was
called vote. The gentlemen called piece
OF paper vote He Dawes counted nothing
a vote that had not free ballot behind it. He
reminded the Senator that there was a differ
ence between piece of paper and the vote of
the freeman that executed the will of God in
executing the will of the freeman.
Mr.. Maxey inquired how it was that those
ballots executing the will of God had been suf-
fcient to elect Hayes and not elect Packard,
though Packard received more of them.
Mr.. Dawes agreed with Mr. Maxey that
Packard was elected, but asserted that Louis
lana lottery COMPANY had succeeded in estoh
fishing the Nichols government
The debate continued until 5 o'clock, when
the Senate adjourned without engaging in any
executive business,

Death of a Native of Maine in Nevada.
MAcHIAs, March 51.-News came to his
family here today of the death of Frank S.
Coffin in Nevada He was formerly we'll
known as school teacher in Machias and an
insurance agent at Bangor.
Explosion and Fire in Augusta,
AUGUSTA, March 31.--Adamson's cough bal
sam is manufactured by f. W. Kinsman &
Co. of this city, at their drug store on the cor
nes of Bridge and Water streets In the pre-
lminary stages the ingredients are compound
ed in huge carboys in the cellar of the store.
This forenoon Mr.. Kinsman entered the cellar
with lighted candle to shake up the carboys
to assist the assimilation Of the chemicals.
Suddenly one of the carboys burst as he was
moving 1t, the gas poured out in suffocating
volume and the liquid ran out upon the floor.
When the gas came in contact with the fame
of the andle it instantly ignited and the cell
lar was full of flames and smoke. An alarm
was sounded and the fire department was
promptly on hand. Three streams were soon
deluging the cellar and in short time the
danger was over and the fire put out. The
loss it is estimated will exceed $500.

FURIOUS FLOODS.
Several Dakotah Towns Under
Water.
INHABITANTS DRIVEN TO THE HIGH-
LANDS FOR SAFETY.
Considerable Loss Of Life Feared.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 31.-A Bismarck
special says the Missouri broke there today
The lower part of the city was Overflowed, and
a great sea of ice and water extends five miles
Three government warehouses on the landing
are wrecked. The river rose ten feet in few
hours, and is now 30 feet above low water
mark. Wood choppers and settlers in the
lowands are all washed out, and many proba-
bly, drowned. Mandan, on the west side of the
river, is under three feet of water. The great
est loss aside from life will be cordwood, thou
sands OF cords being swept away. The Pior-
eer-Presss special from Sioux Citp says there
is 80 feet of water in the channel at Yankton
and the lower part of the city is overlooked
driving the inhabitants to the hills. 1t is the
greatest flood ever known. The damage is
Immense. The city OF Vermillion, in Dakota
is also inundated Water is up to the second
story windows of the houses. The occupants
have taken to the bluffs in boats and probably
will be landed in places of safety before morn
ing.
BISMARCK, d. T., March 31-The Missouri
river is the highest ever known. Mandon,
opposite Bismarck, is flooded, the water being
four feet deep and large masses of ice are float
ing in the streets. 1t is thought the people
escaped to the cliffs, but their sufferings must
be Undesirable as the thermometer was down
to II above the past "a hours. Tonight the
river is 80 feet above low water mark and no
signs of giving way. Two hundred cattle
persisted in this vicinity.
WASHINGTON, March 31-Signal corps OBJ
server a, Yankten, ID. T., reports as follows:
Water has risen six feet in the past two
hours. The water is within hundred yards
of the office. Green Island opposite has been
swept away

The river is up to 40 feet at p. M, but is
now falling. Offices and cellars are flooded.
One hundred houses were submerged involy-

THE CABINET.
Judge Robertson's Name Not to
be Withdrawn.
THE PRESIDENT DISPLEASED WITH
MACVEAGH's COURSE.

BOSTON, March 31.-The Journals Wash
ington special says the proposition that Gen.
James be transferred to the New York custom
house and that Judge Robertson be made
Postmaster General, suggested by Mr. Blaine's
friends yesterday as solution OF the existing
trouble, met with no favor and has been aban-
doned. They say today that the President
will not withdraw Mr.. Robertson under any
circumstances, and if the New York Senators
strive to prevent his confirmation they must
take the consequences. Mr.. Hayes tried to
please everybody ard in the end failed to
please anybody. 1t would have been better
for him, they think, if he had made the issue
at the opening of his administration and thus
have been done with it.
The friends of Mr.. Phillips are very conf
dent that Mr.. Chandler cannot be confirmed.
and that Mr.. Phillips will remain Solicitor
General. II is understood that Attorney Gen.
eral MacVeagh desires the aid of Mr.. Phillips
in the Department of Justice.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-MacVeagh's re-
tirement from the cabinet is again the subject
of speculation. 1t is claimed he has exerted
himself to defeat the confirmation of Chandler
and Robertson, and the Presidents friends
represent that he is disposed to take Mac
Veagh's reported interference very seriously.
1t is not likely Chandler or Robertson will be
withdrawn.

partment to-day. He received sealed instruc-
tons of the United States Government which

FRIDAY MORNING. APRIL

their positions are again reversed, the exchange
has again been made Both ladies laugh mer-
rily over the many changes in their positions
in respect to each other they have undergone
in Washington in Is years without their friend
ship altering at all The absurdity of Wash
ing etiquette in the matter of first calls cannot
be better illustrated than by mentioning how
these two ladies have several times re-
versed their positions with respect to
which should make the first call on
the other. When Mr.. Blaine first came
here he was u member of the House of
Representatives. and Mr.. Sherman Senator.
SO Mrs. Blsine had to make the first call each
year on Mrs. Sherman. When Mr.. Blain, be-
came Speaker 1t was Mrs. Sherman's dsty to
call first on Mrs Blaine. When he ceased to
be Speaker and was still member of the
House the old order of things was restored.
Then MIR. Blaine went into the Senate and
Mr. Sherman into the Cabinet, and the order
Tor hrst calls was reversed again, and now as
Mr. Blaine is in the cabinet, and Mr.. Sherman
IN the Senate, it again became Mrs. Blaines
duty 10 make the first call OH Mrs. Sherman
This she promptly did, and Mrs. Sherman re-
turned il on Mrs. Blaine's first reception day
as the wife of a cabinet officer.
