INUNDATED.


CHICAGO, May l2.-Dispatches from
various points on the Missouri and Mis-
sissirpi rivers report an almost unpreced-
ented high stage of the water. At Fort
Benton the flood reached the highest
point in twenty years. AT Dubuque,
Iowa, the water is within six inches of
high water mark, Hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars damage has been done to
property situated on the lowlands in the
city and vicinity. The mills have shut
down and many people have been driven
from their houses. AT Davenport much
the same condition of affairs exists. The
damage done by the giving way of the
government water power dam yesterday
is placed at $500, 900. Much anxiety is
felt both there and at Rock Island.
At Keokuk manufacturing is almost
totally suspended, and trains on the Keo-
kuk and Northwestern have been aband-
oned. Alexandria, five miles below, is in
danger of being submerged, and citizens
are out working on the %levees, which are
already giving way in places. The vast
area of farming lands along the river is
covered with water, and farmers will suf-
fer great damage. kilograms from Can.
ton, Mo-, say that railroads are under
water and the inhabitants are panic
stricken. Farmers on American bottom
between Alton and Cairo are greatly agi-
tated. and fear a repetition of the great
inundation of 1882.
The levee at Alexandria broke shortly
after noon, flooding the town and doing
great damage.

AUSTRALIANS FIRST SETTLERS.

Cast on the Shore to PeTish-EldDapIng
Wives by Authority.
The only object aimed at by the British
government in settling Australia was to
get rid of the convicts One can scarcely
believe even that 1t was expected that the
convicts should do moro han drag out a
brief and miserable existence under the
rigors of a rule designed rather to hasten
than to p~rolong their end The arrange
ment under which Governor Philip was
dispatched did not contain a single ele-
ment of permanence. Not the least
startling part In connection with this
point is that of the total number of 1,O30
persons who landed from the vessels Of
the expedition, only 1876 were women.
The other live stock" consisted of D
horses, II cows. l bull and I2 sheep, while
the expedition was SO badly provisioned
that from the very moment of landing
starvation began to stare the settlers In
the face.
To redress the balance of the sexes, the
British government, in q dispatch, of
which a copy may be seen to this day in
the record office. authorized the governor
to send a transport to one of the neigh
boring Friendly Islands and kdnap 200
native women as wives for the unpro-
vided males IL the colony, This gives q
good Idea OF the views which tho British
government of that day held as to the
future Of Australia But badly off as the
settlers were at the first, their condition
speedily became worse. One characteris.

The Tarln RlIl,s CHANCES.

WAsmNGToN, May l2.-The tariff de-
bate will probably close next Wednesday.
Carlisle is expected to make the closing
speech on the Democratic side and Reed
or Mckinley on the Republican side. A
Democratic member of the ways and
means committee says: Il believe the
bill will pass now more than ever, and
that it will pass substantially as it came
from our committee. OF one thing you
can be certain, either the house will pass
a bill that will be some advantage to the
Democratic party and the country, or none
at all. There is a Democratic majority in
the house of eleven, and we count on the
votes of three Republicans and three In
dependents. AS an offset we expect to
lose Randall. Democrats to the number
OF eleven are all doubtful, but if these
Democrats should vote with the opposi-
ton we shall still be able to pass the bill.
When it was first introduced we expected
to lose the votes of Ohio and California
on the wool clause, but we now believe
both the Ohio and California Democrats
will vote for ever the wool schedule"

BERLIN, May l2.-The emperor has
again passed a good day. The baseless
reports circulated this afternoon that
there had been a recurrence of the inha-
nation caused general excitement till the
results of the inquiries at the palace were
published. The official news concerning
his condition is not entirely trustworthy,
as the doctors join in the concealment of
the worst phases of his malady and in
making the best of any change for the
best. The most reliable information That
has been indirectly obtained tend towards
the hope that the emperor's life will be
prolonged beyond recent expectations.
The favorable symptom is his increase of
strength. To-day his efforts to walk
about the room were fairly successful.
A week ago he could not move his limbs,
but now with slight assistance he is able
to take an occasional turn up and down
the ROOM.
The emperor is receiving fewer official
reports than formerly, while the empress
%endeavors to limit his business by cur
failing the receptions and seeks to allevi-
ate the tedium by the perusal of light
literature. The emperor feels gratified at
receiving choice bouquets and wreaths
daily from all parts of Germany, England
and Italy. He also receives an immense
number of letters, many of which he in
sists shall be read to him. The doctors
are hopeful hat they will be able to re-
o their patient to Frederick's palace
at Potsdam early in June. when DR.. Mac
kenzie will take a weeks holiday. The
Dowager Empress Augusta, accompanied
by the grand duchess of Baden, will at
the same time go to Babelsberg so as to
remain near the emperor.
The empress after hearing DIR. Mac
Kennels report of the examination paid
her promised visit to the new market,
which is to be opened in autumn. Mayor
trockenbeck received the empress and the
princess who accompanied her, and they
were given a hearty reception by the
thousands assembled within the building.
Although only the chief of police and an
officer were present, perfect order was
maintained and the imperial family made
a tour of the market without hIndrance.
Many of the market women presented
them with noseGays while others strewed
flowers along the paths between the
stalls. The empress told the mayor that
no incident of her s%Oiourn in Berlin since
her return had been so pleasing.
Prince Bismarck solicitude to prev ent
his mind being lulled into a deceptive
calm regarding the chances for war, was
shown in the prom Dtitude with which
were made the denials of the prediction
placed in his mouth IN connection with
the Schurz interview. Schurz did not
communicate to any person the subject of
his conversation with the chancellor He
is, therefore, not responsible for what in
the official note to the North German
Gazette was termed an absolute inven-
ton.

Kissing Episode.

New YORK, May II The congrega-
ton of the South Third Street Methodist
Episcopal church in Brooklyn has been
deeply aroused during the past week by
the trial of two members of the choir on a
complaint charging them with hugging
and kissing each other on a street corner.
The two alleged culprits are John II. Voss
and Mrs. Ella Miller, the former a Iner-
chant and a trustee in the church, and the
latter the wife of Louis Miller, also a
trustee. Mr.. Voss is the bass and Mrs.
Miller the soprano of the church choir,
and they have been accustomed for some
time TO leave the church together and
continue together until Mrs. Miller's
house was reached.
According to the complainant in the
present case (Marinus Willetts), Mr..
Voss accompanied Mrs. Miller on Sunday
night, April %, as far as Graham avenue
and Manger street, where he took her in
his arms and kissed her. When the trial
was begun, with Pastor Smith as Judge,
the complaint was amended by striking
out the charge of hugging. D. The trial
was held in secret, no one but the ac-
cuscr and the defendants being present.
Even the witnesses were admitted only
when their testimony was required. Mrs.
Miller was defended by her father, Henry
Wright, and her husband, while Mr.. Voss
defended himself. After listening to the
testimony for five hours Pastor Smith de-
clded that the charges were not sustained.
He will announce the verdict at the morn
ing service Sunday.

twenty years of his life when he presented
an old man named Hogan, of "a Liberty

Of harness from the stable of Malcolm
Mcdonald and gave it to Mr.. Hogan,

the harness from one Ferguson. When
the property was found in the possession

The Walking Match.


NEW, York, May 12.-The crowd at
largest since the walk began. 1t is esti-
mated that fully O,0OO spectators were
present. At times the excitement was in
tense, caused by the fact that the Mexi-
can had succeeded in getting within two
and a half miles of Lakewood. 1t was
plain, however, that the wonderful work
was telling on the 1cet-footed Greaser.
Shortly after midnight he commenced to
stagger around the track like a drunken
man. He retired to his hut, only to be
driven out again by his relentless trainer.
Again he staggered and reeled along until
fell to the ground. The poor fellow got
cried out Hes been drugged." This,
his trainer stoutly denied. lie was taken
off the track amid the groans of the spec
tators.
The score at 9 o'clock stood: Little

At 9:35 Littlewood had beaten Albert $

New YORK, May u After Little
woods trainer announced at $50 that his
man would not beat the record because of
a split toe, there was very little interest
in the struggle. The sorry looking pc

and made a lap or two, but was evidently
suffering intensely.
At 10 o'clock the race was declared
closed. The scores of those who made
525 miles or more and who are entitled to
a share of the gate receipts are: Little,
