An intensely interesting and lively
picnic is raging between the Common
wealth and Capital, at Topeka, in reia-
ton 70 a proposition to vote bonds for
the construction of several new railroad
lines, upon which decision will be rem
dered through the medium of the ballot
tomorrow. The Capital favors the
bonds, and sees a roseate vista of posi-
bilities opened up by the construction OF
the proposed lines, which will
make the state capital boom with
an energy that has never been
equaled in its progressive history.
On the other hand, the Commonwealth
asserts that if the franchises for the
competing lines are secured, the Santa
Fe will remove its general offices to
Kansas City, the rolling mills will
never be rebuilt, desolation will reign
in the now busy marts of trade and
Kansas avenue wall become the joy oil
cayotes and the habitation of the 60
pher. The vivid promise of one picture
is only rivaled by the sombre shadows
Of the other, and when the public re
fleets that great minds ordinarily run in
the same channel, it is utterly at loss
to comprehend the sharp polarity Of
view between two such astute gentle.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Da-
vid Davis has written a letter to John
Martin, of Kansas, on the present poll
tical situation, having reference to the
senate dead lock. Senator Davis says
that both parties are controlled by mon
opolists, and neither can assist its will
or policy or that of its constituents. He
says the monOpolists control, influence
and handicap both Republican and
Democratic parties, and the only solu-
ton of the political difficulty is in the
reorganization of the parties. Senator
Davis says if the Democratic party
would disband the Republican party
would fall, because it is only kept to
gether by federal patronage, and by the
agitation of sectional questions; that
the dlsbanding of the Democratic party
would set the Republican party to quar-.
reling over the distribution of patron.
age, and remove sectional questions
and thus its organization would be de
stroyed. This would open the way fol

Tiger from Liverpool to Baltimore, sew

were in deplorable condition, having
sustained life for several days on strips
of leather soaked in lamp oil until it
gave out, and then one of the captains

Notes from the National Capital.

4 POLITICAL PLOT.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-The Demo.
Gratis are declaring that one of their pur.
poses in maintaining the senate dead
lock is that they do not desire the Ma
hone party to have the advantage in the
November elections, which they would
have, following the election of Riddle
berger as sergeanta alarms. Besides this
they do not desire to give Malone a
chance to adjust the federal patronage in
the state before the fall elections.
HIS REASON FOR LEAVING.
One of the reasons assigned by the
friends of Mr.. Manypenny for his leav
ing the Ute commission is the fact thai
he was not willing to serve any longer
with Mr.. Bowman. The course of the
later on the commission is reported &c
have been exceedingly distasteful to his
associates.
THE DEADLOCK TO BE BROKEN.
There is general impression tonight
that serious effort will be made next
week by the Republicans to break the
deadlock.
The necessity of acting upon nomin-
ations increases every day. The Indian
Office is virtually at standstill and
cannot transact any important business.
DRAWN TO THE MALONE MOVEMENT.
The colored Republicans, of Virginia
are being generally drawn toward the
Malone movement. A large meeting
was held yesterday in the Alexandria
district. There was strong feeling in
favor Of Malone manifested. The signs
of apprehension among the old school
Democrats over the Virginia situation
are very clear.
BRoTHERIY LOVE.
Messrs. Malone and Alexander
Stephens have fraterniZed, and they seem
TO agree with each other in anticipating
something like a political millennium,
and believing that they will surely bring
it about
DOUBTFUL
Bill Chandeliers friends doubt his con-
firmation, as all the Democrats and Don
Cameron intend TO vote against him.
REGULARs
The Republicans of Alexander and
Fauquier counties, Virginia, held meet
ings yesterday, and resolved not TO fol-
low Senator Malone, but to maintain
the regular Republican organization.

So many Senators are pairing and
leaving that the chances are that the
senate win be left without a quorum,
and forced TO adjourn before many DAYS.

A Snnerabundanea of Water,

OMAHA. Neb, April 9.-The river rose
another foot since yesterday, reaching
nearly twenty-five feet above low water
mark. 1t is reported falling forty or
fifty miles above, and it will begin to
subside here before morning The
Omaha river front is entirely submerged.
There is three feet of water in the Union
Pacific shops, five feet in the smelling
works and from six TO Ten feet in the
lumber yards, while large number of
freight cars are more or less under wa

Fifteen hundred head of cattle were re-
moved from the Willow Springs sheds

At Council Bluffs the river is doing
considerable damage, the northwest and
south parts of the place being badly
submerged. Many houses have been
temporarily vacated in consequence.
Even a part of the business center is

inches of water in lower Broadway,
down which q stream runs with consid-
cradle force. There is
WATER EVERYWHERE
in the lower part of the town. Owing to
the stream coursing through Spoon lake

and running over the bridges and tracks

cars, which are pushed across the sub
merged bridge and tracks. No trains
from the east or south were able to
reach the transfer depot to-day, as the

without eastern connection. Passengers
and baggage going east were transferred
this evening and may get out tomorrow.

The Truth of tine Matter.


OMAHA, April 9.-Inquiries of assist
ant general manager Kimball, at the U.
p. headquarters, regarding the truth of
the report originating in the Chicago
Tribune, and sent in the press dis
patches, ELECTS an entire denial of the
assertion that the U. p. company or Jay
Gould had any hand in bringing about
the refusal of the A, T. & S. F., road to
receive freight for California or diver
sion of such freight to the U. +. The
true inwardness of affair is that the
lines east of Atchison and Kansas City
combined in unreasonable demands up
on General Manager Strong, of the A.
T. s. s. F. for divisions of the earnings
upon such traffic, which demands he re-
fused to accede to leaving the eastern
lines no alternative but to back down or
send shipments via the U. p, which last
they are doing.

The SANTA Fe and FreIghts.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 12-Several
statements, each purporting to explain
the action of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad in refusing to take
freight for the Pacific coast, have been
telegraped here A reporter called
upon the Southern Pacific rail-
road officers to-day for more cor
rect information. Richard Gray, as
sistant agent for the Southern Pacific,
states that the action of the Atchison
road was due to the refusal of the South
ern Pacific to give them rates low
enough to admit the Atchison road
throwing goods into Arizona and south
ern California at less than the Southern
Pacific could send them from this city.
1t is not believed, however, that the
Atchison and Santa Fe will long re-
use to take freights for this coast.
