Senator "Cerro Gordo' Williams, Of Ken

tho caucus which adjourned to meet again

his direction. Here are the strong reasons

could not settle the dispute, and the in

Germany has snubbed the United
States. A London press dispatch
says:
The Berlin correspondent of the
Times says Prince Bismarck has re-
turned to Herr Won Eisendecker,
German minister to Washington, the
resolution Of coincidence on Herr
Lasker's death, passed by congress,
with counter request to return the
resolution to the house of representa-
tives, as the position of Lasker in
Germany was not such as to justify
the resolution. The Times adds that
although the above seems incredible,
the fact is the relations of Washington
and Berlin are in a state of great
tension, chiefly owing to the pig flesh
question. The Times concludes; "One
thing is certain. We have not heard
the last of this Lasker incident. The
Americans are much too proud, too
sensitive and too independent for
that"

The waters of the Ohio are receding
rapidly after reaching height of II
feet, of all inch, at Cincinnati, the
highest ever known. Thousands of
buildings have fallen down and been
carried away in the towns all along
the river. Many thousand people
suffer for want of fuel, clothing and
food. Congress appropriated S5OO,0OO
tor food, and immediatly sent out army
officers in steamboats, to distribute
supplies among the distressed. The
contributions from all parts of the
country are heavy, and need to be.
This is the greatest disaster that ever
befell the Ohio valley.

she sank in forty-two feet of water.
The Umatilla was valued at 500, 900,
