ST. LOUIS srRAws.
ST. LOUIS, March li.-What is known AS
the Fllley faction OF the republican party
here, through its regular contract eon-
mittee, has decieed not to take separate
action In the coming spring election, but
will leave the field to the regular. or "silk
stocking" wing OF the party, who have
called primary meetings to elect delegates
10 the nominating convention. Their ac-
ton WAS taken on the advice OF Mr.. Fillcy
himself, and will no doubt result in uniting
the two wings Of the party, at least Tor this
occasion.
IL Is announced here that the recent
resignation OF Charles Callen, United States
marshal for the western district Of Missouri,
was the result OF charges of numerous irreg-
ular and illegal acts alleged TO have been
committed by him. 1t is not stated who
made the charges, but it is said the govern
ment agent investigated the case and made
an uniayorable report TO the department
A dispatch from Helena says The loss Ct
life by flood In this region occurred by the
upsetting of u house twelve miles south, in
which were six adults and four children.
The latter drowned, and the former were
rescued by o party OF hunters, who took
them Oft the roof after they had chung there
three days. The st. Francis swamp con-
tains hundreds Of horses mules and cattle
standing up to their Threats in water, their
owners being unable to resue them. Many
carcasses are floating about.
The legislature committee Is examining
into the condition OF people of the over.
flowed district, and will report in favor OF
giving state aid to actual sufferers.
