the informers," she said. According to the
cabled report, Carey swore that he knew Bren-
nan In 1862 in the Fenian directory. Now,
Brennan is a young man-younger, believe,
than my son-and il that is so the statement
that he figured in the Fenian directory of 1862
Is absurd. My opinion is that the headquarters
OF the alleged assassination society is not in
Dublin, but in London. There is sort of
yelled prophet at the head of it. We have not
yet seen his features and for all we know he
may be anybody. I think none of the mem
bers now in custody will be hanged. I don't
believe they are the oight men. think it will
be in vain to look for them in Ireland. The
Irish are religious race, and they don't be-
lieve in assassination as a means of gaining
their ends" Mrs. Parnell denounced the
Phenix Park murders in the most unmeasured
terms, but expressed her belief that the effect
Of the pending trials will be to strengthen the
cause of constitutional agitation in Ireland.

The Mississippi Overflow Doing Consider
able Damage.
MEMPHIS, March 1.-The Mississippi river
during the last twenty-four hours has risen one
and half inches. A heavier rise is anticip-
ated from this time forth. The river now
stands 43 feet above low water, and three feet
six inches below highwater mark. From all
points comes news of the devastating effects of
the flood, as it is spreading fast and furiously
all over the low portions of this country.
Water in the White and Cache river is sutfi-
ciently high to cause drowning of cattle.
HELENA, Ark, March 1.-Desperate efforts
are being made to. protect the city and ada
cent territory from the floods by building
temporary levees and Strengthening the weak
points The river is rising hourly. On the
Mississippi side the water is coming in great
force, and the people are helpless. The town
of Friars Point, Miss, is under water, and peo-
pie have to go to the top floor for shelter.
ELDoRADo, ILL.,, March 1.-Specials say
scores of dwellings were washed away yester-
dsy by the rise of Middle Fork river. The
loss of cattle and stock is immense.
SHAwNEETowN, ILL.,, March 1.-The water is
telling one inch every four hours. 1t will be
at least four weeks before all the town is clear
OF water. 1t is feared pestilence will ensue
when the waters have subsided.

This being the last week before
Lent, an effort Is made to crowd Ill
the gayety possible into that little
space OF time. There is no end to
balls. receptions and entertainments
OF every description. The Cabinet
ladies hold their last reception this
week. and indeed receptions generally
will be discontinued during lent. but
only to give place to a milder kind of
amusement in the shape Of fairs for
charitable purposes-excellent places
by the way, for flirtations, and then,
too. there will be plenty of dancing
Of a quiet kind. so that gayety is not

The President held his first public
reception of the winter on Monday

several days has been. the absorbing
question, but there is nothing flatter

relief will be afforded by reduction
of duties on articles that there is no
demand for sustaining. The Senate
is getting along very we'll on the mat

far behind to accomplish as much as
was hoped for. However, if the re.

WASHINGTON. LETTER.
(From our regular Correspondent

From our regular Correspondence
WASHINGTON. d. c., February 3, 1888.
After weeks of gloom and frown.
ing, the sun has once more been
pleased to smile upon Washington,
and the magic OF his power is every.
where apparent. The beautiful AS.
phalt streets, for weeks past 80 de.
filed with slush and dirt, are now

nue.. thronged with elegantly attired
promenaders, has assumed its gay,
bright, busy life.
The prospect Of tariff legislation
is now more encouraging. Both ends
OF the Capitol are talking tariff fu.
riously, and begin to realize that the
present Congress is expected to do
something with the bill. Since Mon.
day, the House, in committee of the
whole, have had the bill: under the
five minutes rule. AS yet they have
not completed twelve out of the one
hundred and forty pages of the bill.
The schedule now under discussion
relates to chemicals, and will excite
less dispute than any other. At this
rate of progress the bill will be about
half finished by the fourth of March.
The opposition to the bill 10 not fac.
etltous, but to almost every article
made dutiable about a dozen amend.
ments are offered. The Senate is max.
ing more progress. 1t is now on the
iron schedule, which is considered
the most difficult one of the bill. In
the hope that the Senate bill can be
disposed of by the middle of next
week, sessions are now held until
midnight, and brilliant light may |
be seen In the dome of the Capitol
indicating that the Senate is in SEES.

of both houses of Congress, and opin.

members of the House
profess to have no fear of the Presi.

say the noise about it is "stuff and

such tariff bill as the Republicans
want.
Every day of the week now an ar.

are not in the least mournful or even
serious. In each house so designated
under brilliant gaslight, a lady. usu.

and every guest feels required to

THE State Agricultural Society met
in st. Paul Wednesday, and from re.
ports, had lively session. The leg.
islature is asked to take hand in
the agricultural business, and mas.
much AS it is the prime industry of
our State there is no cogent reason
why it should not do SO. A bill has
been drafted which makes the socie.
ty an open corporation by admitting
any person to membership upon the
payment of a fee of $500. The bill
also provides for an annual appro-
priation of $4,000, and for annual
meetings, reports and fairs. No one
will question but what there is pres.
sing need for change in the manage.
ment of the society affairs, and there
are many features about the bill
which if passed favorabiy upon by
the legislature will bring the organ.
