MAZEPPA. Minn.. June 5.-The heav-
lest rain storm within the memory of
the oldest inhabitant struck this region
yesterday afternoon at 4:30- The
Zumbro river, which was at medium
stage, was soon a seething, surging tor
rent, rising about eight feet within
three hours and two feet more at mid
night. Dry runs were soon turned into
large streams and small creeks into
raging rivers. The creeks and runs
swelled the main ZumbrO below this
place so that the main river, which is
formed by three large branches, backed
up for two and a half miles. Three
large bridges leading to this place, put
in by the county last year at cost OF
several thousand dollars, have gone
down stream. The railroad company
loses great many bridges and
700 feet of track in this i'm
mediate vicinity. Zumbro Falls is
submerged, and people have been COM
PEELED to abandon their homes for
higher grounds. They also report all
bridges gone in that vicinity. The
storm did great damage to, growing
crops by washing the ground. Nearly

Forest mills dam gave way at o'clock
tonight and the water rose again sew

prehension for the safety of the large
water power at this place was felt, but
the dam still stands firm.
CANNON FALLS, June 5.-This sec
ton was visited yesterday afternoon by
one of the heaviest rains known since
the country was settled. The rain,

GAGGING THE MINORITY.

Silver Bill.

Silver Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-In the house
this morning Mr.. Mckinley, of Ohio,
from the committee Oh rules, reported
resolution providing that the house
shall proceed Immediately to consider
the silver bill. and that consideration
shall continue until p. N. Saturday.
when the previous question Shall be
considered as ordered. The previous
question was ordered on the resolution
and forty minutes debate was allowed.
Mr.. BlOunt, of Georgia, had no ObJec-
ton to the limit set tor debate, but he
was informed that the chairman of the
committee on coinage, weights and
measures would be allowed to offer all the
ments which were admissible under the
rules OF the house. When these were
offered there would be no opportunity
for the minority to offer amendments,
nor would the minority have chance
to ask the house to vote on free coinage.
This proceeding Mr.. Blount character
lied as wicked, shameful outrage on
the minority. He thought there were
many men on the Republican side who
would vote for free silver, but for fear
of the president, who was III accord with
were in accord with Wall street. If the
majority and the president yielded to
the money power, the masses of the
people would hereafter dictate and en-
force legislation in their interests. Mr..
Bland, of Missouri, said that every man
who voted for this resolution voted
against free silver, and those who had
not independence enough to stand
up against gag rule were unfit rep
representatives. Mr.. Cannon, of Illi-
nois, said the minority could offer any
amendment that they could under the
general rules. Mr.. Springer, of Illinois,
said 10 amendment was to be offered to
the bill, except such as might be sug-
gested by the chairman of the commit
Zee. He denounced the action as in
tended to prevent the representatives
of the people carrying out the will OF
the people. Mr.. Williams, of Illinois,
said the resolution was intended to pre-
vent majority from legislating. He
appealed to members of the other side
stand by the interests of their peo-
ple. Mr.. Mckinley said that the
resolution was intended to give the
house an opportunity to serve some sill
yer legislation Which would be in per-
feet response to the general sentiment
of the country. 1t was to give the
house an opportunity to pass bill that
would take all the silver bullion of the
United States and utilize it for none
tary purposes. After more discussion
the resolution was adopted-yeaS 120,
nays III. Mr.. Blount voted in the af-
firmatiye and moved reconsideration.
| Messrs Featherstone and Vandever,
who voted with the Democrats on the
first question. voted with the Republi-
cans on the motion to table. The bill
having been read, Mr.. Conger, of Iowa,
offered the caucus bill, as substitute.
A long discussion followed. Pending
further debate the house adjourned.

TITS SUFFICIENTLY WET.
Minnesota and Dakota Farmers
Are Crying Enough.

Special TO Jne GlOOe.
BIG STONE CITY, S. D., June 5.-1S
there country where farmers can be
satisfied without grumbling? This
spring they said the season was too
much behind; they could not expect
good crop, because they could not get
at seeding in time. Next. up to May 25,
they grumbled because (they said
everything that had sprouted was dry
ing up, and what was not SprOuted
would never come to life. From May
25 to 81 we had a small shower every
day, but they were lot OF any account,
because the rain was always dried off by
the wind in an hour or two after it quit
raining. On June 2 we got rain that
some said went down eighteen inches.
Then for two days no grumbling was
heard. but yesterday it commenced
raining again, and it did rain. and now
after twenty hours it is raining yet, and
now they say it is getting too much, and
they are grumbling without end and
without reason, for never for the last
eight years has the outlook for good
crop been as promising as it is now.
BUFFALO. June 5.-The outlook for a
bountiful harvest has never before been
eouaIed in this section of the country at
this time of the year. The only thing
that farmers are afraid Of now is that

many sections of the county grain has
been damaged to considerable extent.

UNDER THE CLoTURE RULE.
Amendments to the Tithes Bill
Rejected.

LONDON, June Sin the house of
commons to, day, in committee on the
tthes bill, proposal for an equitable
revision of tithes in accordance with
the altered conditions of husbandry.
was rejected, after the enforcement of
the cloture rule, by vote of 24O
to 1877. In the house of commons,
Mr.. GoSchen announced that he
would proceed with the land purchase
bill on Monday. The Morning Post
SAYS this does not indicate the shelving
of the licensing bill, which, it thinks,
will probably be given precedence after
the tithes, land purchase and licensing
bills have reached the committee stage.
Mr.. Smith, the government leader, is
still absent from the house of COM
mons. He is suffering from eczema.
1t is stated that at cabinet council to-
day Mr.. Balfour strongly objected to
the shelving of the land purchase bill
in favor of the publicans' bill, to which
other members desired to give pre-
cedence, and that ~ consequence of
Mr.. Balfour's remonstrances the publi-
cans bill has been laid aside for the
present. There is no doubt that con-
siderable friction exists among the
members of the cabinet.

with soliciting Samuel Kissinger, an ex-

tended to look favorably upon
it, bnt Immediately Informed
Mr.. Foltz of the matter.
Detectives were detailed to investigate
the case, and, by an arrangement With
Kissinger, they manged to be present,
but out of sight when Mrs. Randolph
and Kissinger were having a confer
ence. After having heard the woman
offer Kissinger 81, 800 to kill Mr. Foltz,
the detectives arrested her. She claims
that she was only drawing Kissinger
out to see how far he would go. No
reason why she should want Mr.. Foltz
killed can be imagined, and it is gen
orally believed that the woman, who is
sixty-fve years of age, is crank"

asked the government what had
prompted it to release the duke of

an act of clemency. Pardons

New YORK, June 5.-There has been

ex-Judge Cunning S. Bedford. 1t orig
mated over the manner in which Mr..
Bedford conducted the trial of an Italian
murderer, Campobosi, who was acquitted.
Both Mr. Bedford and Mr.. Dawson are
assistant district attorneys on Col. Eel
lows staff. The matter eliminated
to-day in Col. Dawson sending
challenge to ex-Judge Bedford to
fight a duel. The colonel is a hot
headed Southern fre-eater, and ex-
Judge Bedford has temperate Northern
blood in his veins. The eX-judge paid
no attention to the challenge, and this
almost drove the colonel to the verge OF
desperation. An application was made
to Judge Fitzgerald in the court of gen.
eral sessions, this afternoon, for a war
rant for the arrest of the colonel or the
charge of sending challenge to fight
duel. The application was made in the
name of John Doe. The court took the
papers and reserved decision.
