SIOUX CITY, To-, March 26.-A rumor
was current on the streets early this
morning that people living in Davis
county. Nebraska, opposite the mouth
of the Big Sioux, were leaving their
homes because of the encToachment OF
the waters of the Missouri. The big
gorge at Cottonwood Hill, thirty miles
above this city, still holds, and is grow
ing larger and stronger every day.
Atlee Hart, editor of the Eagle at Da-
vota City, said to-day that the big fiat
near Jackson was oyertloWed to depth
of several feet, and that some stock had
been lost. DR.. Commit returned from
Elk Point, Oak. this morning, and
brings news of all overflow near Jeffer-
son, OAK, that has driven settlers back
from the low lands. The gorge there
still holds. AdyiceS from Yankton say
that big gorge is forming near that
city. The river is running full at Yank-
ton, while here the water continues to
fall and the ice holds, except a small
space in front of the city, which shows
that the gorges between the two places
are yet solid. The weather to-day has
been cold and a light snow has fallen.
Owing to the lateness of the season and
the great amount of snow, both here
and in the valley above, fears are grow
ing graver every day that serious trouble
will be experienced when warm weather
comes. In 1881 the conditions were
much the same, warm weather coming
suddenly and flooding Hle whole valley,
doing incalculable damage.

The Usual Spring Review of the
Guards Will Not Take Place.

BERLIN. March 26.-The emperor has
issued an order directing that the usual
spring review of the guards be omitted
this year. The order gives great salts
faction to the military authorities, who
were under the impression that the re-
view would be abandoned. The North
German Gazette says the emperor's
sleep last night was broken by spells of
coughing. The doctors anXiOusly await
the coming of milder weather in order
that the emperor may enjoy the fresh
air, which he greatly misses. The en-
peror to-day received verbal reports
from Gen. Winterfield and Councillor
Wilmouski. A special order has been
issued to the generals of the suite and
the aides-de-camp of the late emperor
directing them to retain their positions.
Under the influence of important spec
ulative buying, notably of Russian Sc
curities and the new Mexican loan, the
bourse to-day closed very firm. Rus
slams advanced per cent and other for
eign securities 4 per cent. New Mexi-
can loan closed at S3.75. Private dis
count was Il per cent dearer at 2.

"A VERY SICK MAN.
Congressman Mills Being Closely
Watched by the Doctors.

Watched by the Doctors.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-Represent-
ative Mills condition is not quite so
favorable this morning. His son said
to representative of the press:
''Father is quite weak this morning, al
though we are not at all anxious. The
physicians assure us that there is no
fever and consequently no fear of pneu-
mOnia. This muggy, rainy weather is
against his immediate recovery, and the
chances are that he will not leave the
house before the end of week." At
noon the condition of Chairman Mills
was regarded by his physicians
as rather more unfavorable than
at any time since he was taken ill.
He has been extremely restless from the
beginning of his illness, and during last
His fever has returned to slight de-
gree and he is very weak. He is unable
to sit up even long enough to have his
bed arranged. He seems wholly
unable to keep his mind from
his committee work and often
talks of it when apparently un-
conscious of the presence of others.
AT about 1I:45, DR.. Sewers, his physi-
clan, called and prescribed narcotic,
since which time he has slept soundly
and with apparent restfulness. The
doctor said to Mrs. Mills this afternoon
that there was nothing in his condition
to cause alarm, that he only needed
rest, absolute rest. To an inquiry as to
whether there were any indications of
pneumonia, the doctor stated that there
were none.
Later The condition of Representa-
tive Mills is reported somewhat better
tonight than it was this morning. The
fever has abated and he appears re-
freshed after several hours sleep.

THE SENATE.
Resolutions Regarding New States
...Other Work.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Mr. Harris,
from the committee ON epidemic dis
eases, reported the bill to protect the
quarantine service of the United States
calendar.
Mr.. Cullom, from the committee on
territories, reported unanimously the
resolutions declaring it to be the sense
of the senate that new states should be
admitted into the union only on the
basis of equality with the existing states
and that congress ought not to exercise
any supervision over the provisions OF
the constitution of any such new state
further than is necessary to guarantee
to each state republic form OF govern
ment; that the proposed constitution
for the state of Utah, submitted to con,
gresS, contains provisions which would
deprive such proposed state, II ad-
mitted, of that equality which should
exist among the different states, and
that it is the sense of the senate that
the territory of Utah ought not to be ad-
mitted into the union as state until 1t
is certain, beyond a doubt, that the
practice of plural marriages, bigamy or
pOlygamy, has been entirely abandoned
by the inhabitants of that territory, and
until it is likewise certain that the civil
affairs of the territory are not controlled
by the priesthood of the Mormon church.
He asked for the immediate conSidera-
alton of the resolution. Mr.. Hoar said
the resolutions were very important,
let them be printed and go over. LII
was so ordered.
Mr.. Cullom also reported back the
Utah memorial and draft Of the constl-
tuition, and asked that the committee be
discharged from their further consider
alton. So ordered. The senate then
proceeded to the consideration OF house
bills to provide for the purchase OF
United States bonds by the secretary OF
the treasury. Mr.. Plumb offered an
amendment in the form OF new sec
ton, requiring the secretary OF the
treasury, whenever the circulation. or
national bank is surrendered, TO issue
treasury notes to an equal amount. Inc
amendment was laid on the table-yeas
%. nays 22. Mr.. Plumb renewed the
amendment modified in regard to the
legal tender quality of the proposed
treasury notes, and proceeded to argue
in support of it. After brief discus
sion, Mr.. Morrill, moved to lay the
amendment on the table. Defeated
yeas "a, nays "a. The amendment was
the adOpted-yeas 2S, nays Il. Mr.
Stewart offered an amendment allowing
deposits of gold and silver bullion not
less than five ounces of gold or elghty
ounces of silver. and the issue OF coin
certificates therefor. He made an argu-
ment in support of it. The bill went
over as unfinished business, with Mr.
Stewards amendment as the pending
question. After an executive session
the senate adjourned.

reception and BANQUET.

PARIS, March 26.-The Alsace-Lor-
raine association gave a reception and
banquet this evening to newly elected
members of the chamber of deputies.
Nj. Ferry was present and made a
speech. He dwelt upon the necessity
OF strong. government, both from q
military point of view and because it
would give France her proper place
in the councils of Europe. France,
he said, could neither gain new
friends nor keep her old ones unles
she had a government that cut figure
in the world. Such a position could
never be attained by yielding to the in
fluence of the mob. A people that ac-
cepted the tyranny of the street was as
worthy of contempt as people that ac-
cepted the tyranny of a master. He
concluded by advising all Frenchmen
to follow the example of the people Of
Alsace-Lorraine and exercise patience
and prudence.

perintendent w. Whyte, of the Can

Greoorv Aeain on the Stand.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Agent
Gregory continued his testimony before
the senate committee on Indian traders
to-day. He gave the details of
the prices of various grade of
lumber OH the reservation. He had no
knowledge, save through newspapers,
that Hasking Il Kennedy were lum-
bering for the Superior Lumber com-
pany. He said that his principal reason
for trying to remove the Calligan BROTH
ers from the reservation was that they
charged too much for supplies and had
offered him 81, 800 for the privilege. Mr..
Gregory said he was in no way coll
nected with the Superior Lumber COM
pany. AT the conclusion of his testi-
mony the committee adjourned.

WHAT HE SAID.
MIR. Balfour Was Misquoted in
His Remarks.

LONDON, March 26.-1he remarks OF
Mr.. Balfour before the workmen's fed
Grafton at Staley Bridge on Saturday in
reference to America were unsupported.
What he said was as fallows: Amer
lea is the most conservative country in
the world. BY conservatism L mean
principally that affection for the insti-
tutlons OF your country which is making
yon distrust the crude speculations Of
amateur politicians, and is inducing vou
to adhere to the Institutions of YOUR
forefathers. In that sense of conversa-
tlsm America stands in the very first
rank and England is very short way
behind her. 1t is owing to the strength
OF that conservative feeling that Eng
land and America are in the very fore
front OF civilization. We are therefore
able to contemplate England's future
WITH greater serenity and confidence
than is vouchsafed possibly to any
other country"

against the use of stereotype plates Of
certain annual official statements pub

A SUBSTITUTE BILL.
Senator Platt Will Have a Hard
Time Getting His Bill Passed.

Senator PIatt Will Have Hard
Time Getting His Bill Passed.
Special TO the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Platt reported favorably from the COM
mittee on territories substitute bill for
the admission of Montana to statehood.
The substitute provides for constitu-
tional convention mot earlier than the
Tuesday next after the first Monday in
November, 1888. That said convention
shall provide by an irrevocable Or1i-
nance that the people of said state shall
have perfect federation and free exercise
of religious sentiments; strikes out the
clause granting other lands than those
already patented and confirmed to set
tiers aud schools, and also the clause
compelling the state to accept and main
tain persons now in the insane aSylums
of the territory. 1t requires the submits
sion of ordinances to an election of the
people; strikes out the anti-polygamy
clause, which was ordered originally to
be placed in state constitution. The
idea is that congress ought not prescribe
what shall be placed in the state consti-
tuition. but the state is not likely to be
admitted without that clause.

not long ago kicked man down for
fancied insult; and that he is sound
mentally is evidenced by his good MEM
Ory, although he is 10th to say much
about himself and has horror of talk
ing to reporters. An attempt to obtain
his likeness was impossible, and it is
doubtful whether it can ever be ac-
complished. In middle life Mr.. Clark
took part in the Daniel O'Connell up
rising, the incidents of which he well
remembers. While with party of Irish
tenantry he was attacked by a
posse of gentlemen, and while engaged
in this fight, Clark killed man with
spade, and afterwards, together with
his father, was sentenced to seven years
at Botany bay. Through the interces-
sions of the elder Clark, the younger
was released by the aid of young
woman who was an attendant upon the
queen, and whose father had once been
saved from death by the old man Clark.
The elder Clark served his full term of
imprisonment. Patrick Clark came to
the United States in 1851 and settled
with two sisters who had preceded him
at Lowell, Mass. Soon after he removed
to Missouri, from there to Nebraska, and
finally reached Montana. as many here
remember, in 1864. He came to the Gal
latin valley in 1870, and for several
years lived by himself on ranch.
Three years ago the old man, being un-
able to gain livelihood and feeling the
need of home, made application to
enter the poor house (Which is unlike
those of the East), and has since been
tenderly cared for by the proprietor.
There is every reason to believe that
Patrick Clark is 107 years of age, and
there is no doubt but that he is the old
est man in the Northwest.
