ANOTHER OVERFLOW.

A Second Rising of the Mississippi Threat
 ems t, Equal the First.
 ST. PAUL, Minn., May s.-The people hv- ing on the lower portion of the flats have hardly recovered from the inconveniences and unpleasant results they suffered during the recent high water, when now everything indicates that they will again have to endure a repetition of the overflow, which may re- suit in even more discomfort and suffering than the first.
 The river has risen very rapidly during the last two days, and it is now very near the highest point reached three weeks ago Many of the houses are surrounded in ihe First ward, and entirely cut off from oommunica- ton with land except by means of boats. The Northwestern Manufacturing company and the Globe laundry have been obliged to sus- pend work on account of the water pentrae- ing the boiler room and e1tinguishing the fires.
 A Winona dispatch says the water rose two and a half inches during the night, and is still coming up slowly. Reports coming from St Croix and above say the streams are swelling. It is feared that we will have e ! June freshet before the water goes down. There are still two feet of snow in the woods On the southeast side of the city the river covers a tract of over 900 acres, including the large sheep ranch of Andrew Hamilton. On Sunday a steamboat ran up to within twenty rods of Sugar Loaf The partie. living as Sugar Loaf say they never saw the water back up there so high.
 : North of the city, on the Wisconsin side of the river, the water extends back over two miles. The only thing that breaks the smooth surface of the water is here and there a house, the occupants of which can only obtein ingress or egress by means of ( . boat There are in all about 100 houses tha, stand in from one to four feet of water Residents of South Winona have to be car ried about one block by boat in the narrow 1 <y~lo

IN THE SENATE.
Opposing tho Animal Industry Bill-The
 Chinese Treaty Ratified.

Opposing tho Animal Industry Bill-The
 Chinese Treaty Ratified.
 WASHINGTON. May 7.-The bill providing for a bureau of animal industry was takensup in the senate yesterday, and MT. Reagan spoke in opposition to it. Many of its features, he said, were violations of the constitution. The bill was framed on the theory that the people of the states were incapable of manag- ing their own affairs, were not capable of passing laws to secure the health and man agement of stock within their limits, and con- gress must do what they were not capable of doing. This criticism referred, of course, to portions of the bill, and not to those relating to interstate and foreign commerce. He said he had received numerous letters protesting against the passage of the bill, and suggesting cattle of the country in the hands of a few men in Chicago
 MT. Coke followed Mir. Reagan, also speak ing in opposition to the bill. The present law was satisfactory to the commissioner of agriculture, who was opposed to the bill. Further than this, his opposition to the bill was strengthened by the remarks made in the senate last week about the Chicago sym dicate having a lobby in Washington work ing for the bill. He trusted the commissioner of agriculture because the syndicate did not want him.
 Mir. Coke yielded the floor without con- cluding his speech, and the bill went over.
 In secret session the senate resumed consid- eration of the Chinese treaty, and Senators Mitchell and Teller spoke in opposition to it. They did not, however, demand a division when it came to a vote, and the treaty was ratified.
 MT. Edmunds, from the committee on for eign relations, submitted an adverse (written) majority report on the fisheries treaty. and MT. Morgan made a favorable report on the part of the minority. MT. Edmunds gave notice that he would call up the treaty for final action a week hence.

He had lived with her up to the very day o1 his bigamous act, and had on that morning kissed her and their child goodby, as was hi. custom.
