He again attacked the Committee on
ways and Means, charging that he had
been informed, and believed, and that they
had not denied it, that an agent for En-
gllsh manufacturers had been in consulta-
tlon with the committee, and had been in
nuentlal IN fixing some parts Of the Mills
Dill. lie said: IF it is true that any agent
OF English manufacturers has secured the
adoption by the comnitteeS of one

traitor to the industries of his country as
his ancestor was twenty-five years ago who

PENSIONS FOR WIDOWS.
The Senate Discusses the Proposed
Amendments.

WASHINGTON, May 17,--In the Senate to-
day the Pension appropriation bill was
taken up, the question being ON the amend
ment reported by the Committee on Appro-
priations to strike out the words: THAT in
all pensions to widows payments shall be
made from the date of the death of the hus-
bBnd, and to insert: That all payments
which have been, or which may hereafter
be granted under the general laws regu-
latlng pensions to widows in consequence
OF death occurring from cause which
originated in the service since March 4,
1861, shall commence from the date of the
death of the husband"
Mr.. Cockerill moved to amend the amend
ment by striking out the words (which
have been or" SO as to confine its applica-
ton to future pensions. He estimated that
the additional cost, under the Senate
amendment, would be 81 ,473, 600 If his
own amendment were adopted, the addi-
tional cost for 1889 would be $756, 600
If, however, the House provision were
agreed to, there was no estimating its cost
and the Senate was absolutely at sea, with
out compass or chart, in reference to it.
After a long debate Mr. Cockrell's amend
ment was disagreed to by vote of 90 yeas
to 23 nays, party vote, except that Mr.
Blodgett voted with the Republicans in the
negative.
The amendment reported by the Commit
tee on Appropriations, was then agreed to
without division, and the bill was passed,

FORTY MILES UNDER WATER.
The Whole of the Sny Bottoms Hidden
by the Flood

The Whole of the Sny Bottoms Hidden
by the Flood.
ST. LOUIS. May IA special to the Post
Dispatch says there are now five bad
breaks in the Sny levee and the whole of the
Sny bottoms, reaching from opposite Louis
lana, Mo-, to Hannibal Mo-, is inundated.
The food covers an area forty miles long
and five miles wide. Every effort has been
put forth to protect property, but without
avail, and over 100, 600 acres of crops will
be injured or destroyed. 1t has been seven
years since floods have swept over this fer
tile region.
STATIONARY AT BURLINGTON.
BURLINGTON, IA, May 1.-THE river
this evening is at a standstill. The rise in
the last twenty-four hours was II feet 8
inches, and the river is now II feet 6L
inches above the low water mark, and
higher than it has been before for thirty
seven years. The food caused some incon-
venience and interruption to business in
few instances, but no serious loss at Bur
lington. A light rain fell to-day.
AN APPALLING SITUATION.
QUINCY, ILL, May 17.-With each hour
the situation has grown worse, and is now
appalling. The floods continue to rise, and
are being further increased by a heavy
rain, which began to fall here at 8 o'clock
this morning and still continues. The water
gauge now shows 10 feet 81 inches, rise
of Al inches since 10 o'clock last night, and
81 inches above the gauge of 1881. All
the mills and factories along the river front
in this city are now under water, and shut
down. The Quincy saw mill shut down at
noon, it being the only mill on the river
between st. Louis and Lacrosse which has
been able to run for ten days past. Many
fishermen's houses and other small build
ings are floating down the river, and men
are out with boats towing them ashore.
TRACKS WASHED AWAY.
A portion of the track Of the Louisiana
branch of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad has been washed away,
and the telegraph lines are down. Three
trains were forced through the water over
the Hannibal and st. Joe tracks west of this
city last night, but a long span of the tres
tie work is out of line with fifteen inches of
water over it, and two trains which started
west this morning were compelled to return
to the depot.
Two more breaks occurred in the Sny
levee this morning, twenty miles below this
city, and the entire Sny levy district is
under water and ruined. Hundreds of
families are homeless and are camped on
the high lands with nothing to shelter them
from the rains except rudely improvised
tents made of quilts and sheets. The Mayor
has called a meeting OF citizens to take steps
for the relief of the sufferers.

FULLER's RECORD CLEAR.
Edmunds' Efforts to Find a Flaw
Against him Prove Futile.


WASHINGTON, May 17-Chairman Ed
munds, of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
seems to be very anxious in his effort to find
out something to the disadvantage of Melville
w. Fuller, nominated for Chief Justice of
the United States. He has not succeeded
very well SO far. The newspaper charges
against Judge Fuller's conduct during The
war were not weighty enough to affect the
mind of the Senate, and no other charges
against Judge Fuller have been received.
In the course of his investigation about
Judge Fuller, Chairman Edlnunds wrote
to the President for any information he
might have as to Judge Fuller's fitness to
be Chief Justice. In response the President
sent him copies of the letters received by
him from Judge Gresham, ex-Secretary
Robert t. Lincoln and Walker Blaine
among others forwarded by Chicago gen
tlemen, who recommended Judge Fuller's
appointment in the strongest terms.
