FRACTIONAL CURRENCY.
Adverse Report hy tho House Sub-
 Committee.

Adverse Report by tho House Sub-
 Committed.
 WASHINGTON, March 13.-A sub committee which has been considering the subject this morning reported to the house committee on banking and currency adversely upon the various propositions looking to the issue of fractional notes. The report was thoroughly discussed by the full committe and the genes ral disposition seemed to be favorable to the issue of some kind of currency that may be used to remit small sums through the mails, but which shall not dtsplace the present fractional silver coins. To this end the com- mittes will address itself to tine postmaster general and to the house committee on post- offices for suggestions. It is felt by many of the committee members that the postal notes now in use do not fully meet the wants of the business community and 1t is believed that the result may be attained by the issue of notes that, while not legal tender. shall be receivable by postmasters and by banks.

MEMPH1s, Tenn, March 13.-A special to the Appeal from Little Rock, Ark, says the Arkansas river is now stationary at that place and advices from above show that the river is falling. The danger was Iiot quite touched at Little Rock, which dispels all fears in floods in the lowlands along the lower Arkansaw. The situation at Newport, Ark, at the confluence of the White and Black rivers Is one of extreme danger. The water Is within c few inches of the top of the levees which surround the town and is rising at the rate of three inches on hour. The in- hibitants are greatly excited and with good reason. Should the lsvees break the dsstruc- tion to life and property will be terrible. There will be no sleep there to- night.
 2s At Batesville all that portion of the town through which the Iron mountain runs is a foot under water and the tracks are aban- 'doned.
 Reports from the Black river valley show that the lowlands are now under water at places 50 deeptha trees arc alone visible.
