JORDAN, Minn., April 1.-THE vol

is by two feet greater than was ever

iDgs have been swept away. The dam
age to the mill pond will reach several
thousand dollars. Five of the Minneap-
oils & st. Louis railway bridges above
here are in danger Already many rods
of the track have been swept away in
different places. The damage will be
$4,000. NJ. Ley's fine brick saloon is
being undermine, but will probably be
saved. This evening the barn of Mrs.
F. Heiland was swept away, and por-
ton of Schultz & Kaser's went soon
after. About forty families at Stock
holm were forced to move to upper
town for safety. The bridge leading to
the Omaha railway is gone, and we are
partially isolated. The total damage i'll
this vicinity will reach 100000. Several
families have taken temporary quarters
in the city hall. The water is now sub
siding, and possibly further damage
will be averted. At O'Clock this morn
ing the water was the highest, but sub
sided little toward morning. To-day
it rose several feet again.

WAvERLY, TO-, April 1.-THE eighth
day of the Billings trial witnesses the
beginning of the case on behalf OF the
defense to-day. The forenoon was taken
up with an examination OF several wit
nesses on the question whether or not
Kingsley had a revolver. If number is
an indication of success, the attempt to
show the ownership of a revolver i'll
Kingsley's Office was signally success
full, for there were as many as dozen
Fevolvers described as having been in
the possession of Kingsley, not two
agreeing in description. One witness,
and one only, ventured to testify that he
had seen a revolver in KingSley'S Office
like that found by the murdered mans
side, but the searching investigation OF
County Attorney Dawson destroyed the
testimony OF the witness and utterly i'm
peached his veraclty. The character of
witnesses introduced by the defense on
this subject corresponded with the char
acter of the teStim0ny-it was not the
best. The Russell family occupied a
large portion of the afternoon. They are
the people with whom the Billings
roomed from the time of leaving the
Kingsley place. They testified concern
ing many of the details of the defend
ants movements on the day of the mur-
der, about which they were utterly ig-
norant when sworn at the cOroner's in
quest. This fact the prosecution did
not fail to take advantage of when they
cross-examined the witnesses with a
view to impeachment. The defendant
took the stand at about p. M, but had
stated nothing of importance at the
time of adjournment. His examination
tomorrow, it is expected, will be full of
interest. The general opinion to-day is
that the opening of the defense has
been decidedly weak.

AT LA CROSSE.
Some Damage to Railroad Bridges
Near That Point.

Special to the Globe.
LA CROSSE, Wis.,, April 11.-The La
Crosse river, which has been quite high,
is now back to its normal stage, and the
Root river commenced falling yester-
day. So far as can be learned there has
been no serious high water at any
tributaries of the Mississippi south of
here. The Trempeleau river is high
enough to Submerge the track of the
Green Bay road and stop the running
of trains. 1t is not expected the dam
age will be very serious. The ice went
out of the mississippi to-day below the
railroad bridge, but none of the boats
here ventured to go on up the stream
until advlces were received as to the
state Of the river above. The river is
high and rising and fears of damage to
numbering interests are not without
foundation. Several of the saw mills
here have commenced work for the
season and turning out at the OnalaSka
boom will commence in a very few days.
Last night the Burlington train was
obliged to cross the river at Prescott
and run in here on the Milwaukee
track. Tonight the Milwaukee trains
are crossing at the same point and COM
ing in here on the Burlington track on
account of the WaShOut.

Along the Railroads.

The Omaha road received advices
yesterday which showed that the water
of the Minnesota is still overfowing the
low lands in the vicinity of Henderson.
Although the water has fallen nearly a
foot within the last tWentyfour hours,
some of the smaller bridges have been
swept away. AT st. Peter there is some
trouble on account of the water, and
the only way to get from the town to
the depot is by boat. AT Mankato and
Belle Plaine the water is subsiding,
while at Hamilton and Jordan it is re-
ported to be rising. At Sioux City the
Missouri is subsiding. Some sand-bars
opposite the city have formed, which
are troubling the ferry boats. Yester-
day mornings Breckenridge train Oh
the Manitoba road was delayed at
Tintah several hours by wash-out, and

and so on. So great and so adrolt
bribe has never before been offered by
men bent on treasury spollatlOn III
order that they may defeat tax redue-
ton. -
They have the help of estate agents"
who have been pushing the bill here for.
years and who will doubtless get large
share of the plumber for their:
efforts. But they never had
chance of success until now the
Republican protectionists turn in to
help them. Tn the debate on the bill
Mr.. Salisbury rightly said: IL am
opposed to collecting money from the
people of the United States and paying
it back to the states. [ believe myself
that every dollar in the public treasury
ought to remain there, and that 1t
power in congress to distribute it back
to the states of the Union. / am OPP
posed to any depletion of the treasury
in order to keep up the high protective
tariff under which we live. Every dol
lar we fritter out of the treasury fur
nishes an argument for continuing the
high taxes now laid upon the people
of the country"
ONLY THE BEGINNING.
tits very well understood that this
repayment of the direct tax is only the
beginning. 1t will be followed, if 1t
succeeds, Immediately by an attempt,
sure to be equally successfully, to repay
the cotton tax. That will take 500, ,O0O,-
900 more out of the treasury. There is
not an argument for the repayment OF
the direct tax which does not hold
equally for the repayment OF the
cotton tax. The same kind OF
interstate log rolling makes that
strong, which is used by the protec-
tionistS to push through the repayment
of the direct tax.
The cotton tax was laid during the
war. 1t was collected on raw cotton
wherever found, and therefore in
Northern as well as Southern states.
Twenty-eight states would get S15,000,-
900 out of the treasury under the direct
tax bill: twenty-five states would get
S69,000,000 out of the treasury by the
repayment of the cotton tax. Eleven OF
these twenty-five are Northern states.
FilibuStering was never more useful
and important than in the present case.
In minor cases it is used to gain time
enough to attract the attention OF the
house. In this case it is used, and
rightly used to secure the attention OF
the country to what is passing here,
and to gain time to arouse public
opinion against one of the most des-
perate raids on the treasury that has
ever been planned. But the help OF the
people is needed to scare off the men
who have planned this bold scheme to
prevent tax reduction.

Wausau in Danger.

Special to the Globe.
OSHKOSH, Wis, April ia dispatch
from Wausau says this afternoon about
80 o'clock a big ice jam formed at the
foot of Grand Rapids and swept down
the river, striking wagon bridge and
carried away the west span, 800 feet
long. The jam lodged near the rail
road bridge, and as the ice be-
low this point has not broken, and
is from four to five inches thick, it
still holds firm. The whole mass forms
a gigantic dam and is rapidly backing
water up to the city. Merchants are
moving their goods and preparing for
the worst. Fears are entertained for
the safety of the business place of Cen
tralia and Grand Rapids. A portion of
the bridge crushed Creston Bros brass
factory. The bridge is owned by the
county. The damage so far is $1,000.
If the jam holds out ten hours longer
and another comes down the result will
he disastrous,
