pITH OF The NEWS.
news from Washington.

The Republican senators held a caucus
on the fisheries treaty. One of the sena-
tors who engaged in the fight for consid-
GRAFTON OF the treaty with open doors
states that the caucus finally agreed to
discuss the measure with open doors.
Representative Adams, from the COM
mittee on the judiciary, reported favora-
bly, the bill extending the criminal iurisoic-
lion OF the circuit and district courts of
Ihe United States to the great lakes and
their connecting waters, with a provision
that the act shall not apply to rivers
connecting such lakes when wholly within
the United States.
1t has been decided by the Democratic
COMMITTEES on ways and means that the
eariff bill shall be laid aside in the House
Tor consideration OF the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill, which,
it is believed, will occupy a week or 10
days, when the Republicans will have de-
eided whether they are willing to vote on
the Mills bill without Offering amend
ments.
tary OF the interior, Gen. 3. D. c. Atkins,
com missioner OF Indian affairs, expressed
an earnest desire to tender and receive ac-
ceptance OF his resignation at an early
day. AT the earnest request of Secretary
Villas he has consented to remain in office
until after the letting of the annual con-
tracts for Indian supplies, which will occur
early in June.
There is much anxiety in Washington
about the time OF adjournment OF con-
gress. The senate. by the action OF the
finance committee will save several weeks
OF the time that would otherwise be con-
sumed in reaching a vote upon the tariff,
but a mt nth would be a very short time
in which to examine the house bill. Ifany
bill is passed by the house and sent to the
senate the leading Republican senators
say they will never vote to adjourn until
definite action has been taken on the tar
iff.

Science and the Bible.

the session OF the general assembly
81 the Southern Presbyterian church at
Baltimore. the case OF Rev Dr. Woodrow
OF Georgia was resumed, and he continued
the presentation Of his appeal He quoted
from his speech and writings in which he
supported the idea ofevolution, and said:
He had been charged with subordinating.
the Scriptures to science. This was not
true he had never spoken or written a
word which could bear any such construc-a
tlon. He had never taught a word that
would throw a doubt upon the headship of
Adam, without regard to the manner in
which, or the material of which sod formed
his body. He believed Adam was a miracu-
lous creation. He held all his beliefs to the
teaching OF the Holy Scriptures and to
nothing else. So he holds his opinion as to
the formation OF Adams body. Upon any
subject OF which the Scriptures are silent
he accepts natural history as his
guide, but only on such subjects. AS a
church court, the general assembly had
nothing to do with his view outside the
teachings OF the Bible All it has to do is
to discover il his teachings conflict with
the Scriptures, and If they do not then
the case must end. He quoted from Pad
dlngton, Brown and Others their views of
the dust OF which man was formed, mean
ing dust from which, through steps from
one stage to another, man came to have
dominion over all other living
creatures. It made no difference
whether the formation OF Adams
body was mediate or immediate. He was
made a living soul, and God made a cove
nant with him. The presby tery OF Augusta
could not find a conviction against the
speakers belief for he had not antagonized
the Bible. He had not taught that God
had performed his works superna turally.
That viii have to be determined by each
individual mind. lie believed that God
formed man out OF the dust Of the ground,
and yet he was charged With teaching con-
trary to the Bible and the standards be-
cause he went beyond and believed be.
yond what was not contained in them or
uponsWhich they were silent. To sustain
the synod Of Georgia would be to condemn
all who believe there may be some truth in
evolution. 1t was TACT that the church
had never failed in deciding on science to
decide wrong.
Rev. William Adams of Augusta the
prosecutor, followed in defense OF the act
ion OF the Georgia synod in suspending Mr..
Woodrow. He said that Mr.. Woodrow's
doctrine served to unsettle the minds OF
the church people. and that the question
should be disposed OF by the convention

long discussion ensued, one OF the
who argued against the bill on constitu.

adopted prohibiting the importation for
commercial purposes OF all goods,wares or
merchandise from any foreign country to
the United States which, in whole or in part,
were manufactured or produced by con.
yict labor, and prescribing penalties for the
violation OF this prohibition. The previous

tees the passage OF the bill.

The mississippi Flood.

Reports received at Quincy, H., record
the drowning OF Samuel Moore by the
foods in the Indian Grove levee district,
and two OF the children of VIM. Johnson
in the Sny district are unaccounted for,
and no trace OF the m can be found. 1t is
pro bable that many fatalities will be re-
corded when all the facts regarding
the flood are fully known Much
sickness prevails among the destitute
people from the inundated dis.
tricts, but the relief committee OF Quincy
are rendering every possible assistance to
those in distress. The river is falling slow
~, having declined nine inches from the
highest point reached. Trains on the west
ern roads will be resumed and the damage
to allroads in the locality will be repaired
as speedily as possible.
out precedent in the destruction and
suffering created, but it is thought that
the worst OF the high water is passed.
But the W orst that could happen has al.
ready occurred, hundreds of families have
been rendered homeless and thousands Of
acres OF growing crops ruined, to say
nothing al the loss entailed by demolished
dwellings, wrecked fences and washouts.
From the northern end OF Adams county
to the southern end OF Pike county the
land on the Illinois side OF the river was
embracing ESQ, 600 acres, the soil being the
richest in the state. All the region is now
one vast lake from six to ten feet ndepth.
Along the bluffs on the eastern edge OF the
submerged district hundreds of families
are camped, living in tents, huts and in
the open air, Before the food most OF the
people were we'll to do, prosperous farmers,
but now they have little or nothing. Much
sickness prevails among the unfortunates
owing to want and exposure, but prompt
measures have been taken to alleviate
their sufferings.
In the Sny levee district below Quincy
the situation is indefinitely worse than IN
the region to the north The towns of
Fall Creek, Seenorn and Hulls are but
merely islands, and hundreds OF refugees
are huddled together in limited space.
-Four or five families are living in each OF
the rooms in the few houses above the
water and are suffering intensely.
The damage to the railroad property is
enormous, and it will be three weeks after
the water subsidies before the trains can
be running on time.
Owing to the great confusion il is inn
possible to obtain detailed losses, but
the aggregate viii reach fully $3,ooo,O0o
from crops alone.

Americans have reduced kissing to its
minimum as n social feature COMPARED to
any other nation except the English. The
English kiss less than we do, that is, their
women are not so Cushv in manner as ours,
and don't kiss such a hig range Of incidental
feminine acquaintance. and their children
are kent more out OF sight and so don't get
kissed so much But the French have one
advantage Of us both that probably about
balances the fact that their men kiss occa-
sionally They kiss the cheek habitually
Here it is very funny to watch women about
the cheek business You just notice the next
time you see q bevy of them meet. 1t is per-
fectlv obvious TO the meanest capacity that,
as a rule, they don't want TO kiss each other.
They all long 10 get out OF it. and each tries
to modify the discomfort of contact by
dabbng at the check Of the other; but,
at the same time there is such a general
feeling that turning Che cheek is slight
that nobody will do it. and the result is
very clumsy nose humping match. 1t is
pity that it should not come to be understood
that 1t is not a slight, but pretty social
form for one woman to turn to another first
one cheek and then the other to be kissed II
would save them e great deal, for no one can
compute the amount Of suffering women en-,
dure kissing each other because 1t is ex
pected" One would think that their mar
tyrdom would make them alive to the mis-
cries of their offspring from the same cause.
