WASHINGTON. April 6.-Representa-
tives Herbert, of Alabama: Hemphill,
South Carolina; Turner, of Georgia;
Stewart, of Texas; Wilson, of West
Virginia: eX-Representative Barksdale,
of Mississippi: Senators Vance, of
North Carolina; Pasco, of Florida; West,
of Missouri; .and Messrs w. NJ. Fish
back, of Arkansas, Ira P. Jones, of
Tennessee, G. S, Long, of West Vir-
ginia,a and B. j. Sage, of Louisiana, have
collectively written, and will soon pub
lish, a book entitled why the Solid
South; or Reconstruction and Its Re-
suits" 1t undertakes to narrate, fairly
snd dispassionately, in concise and
popular form, the history of
the reconstructed governments in each
state, showing how the Republicans OBJ
tanned control and how they lost it, the
figures and facts as TO shrinkage of val
ues and increase Of debt and taxation
under those governments, and the pros
perity of the South under present au-
spices. The book speaks of Abraham
Lincoln's death as an appalling calam-
ity to the South; argues that Andrew
johnson followed strictly Lincoln's
plan of restoration, and contends that if
Lincoln had lived he would have been
able to defend that plan against the as
saults of congress. Each chapter is
signed by its author, who thus becomes
directly responsible for the truth of his
statements; and the claim of the book
in its preface (written by Gen.
Herbert, its EDITOR Is that,
in all the chapters, the facts
are understated rather than over
stated. The race question and race
troubles are extensively discussed, and
the statement made that there is no in
tention to agitate for the repeal of the
fifteenth amendment or the deportation
of the negro. Educational and material
statistics of many kinds are given in
support of the contention that the negro
is prospecting. and that the South is
solving for itself the negro problem.
The book is dedicated to the business
men of the North, with a statement that
they are interested in continuing the
prosperity of the South.

WASHINGTON, April Elm the SEN
ate, the Chinese enumeration act will
come up tomorrow, and Mr.. Mitchell's
amendments, intended to restore the
bill to something like its purport when
1t was received from the house, will be
in order. 1t is not expected that this
bill will occupy much time. After it is
disposed of, the discussion of the re-
ports in the Montana election case will
be resumed. At the rate of progress
made last week, the case bids fair to go
over into next week. 1t will give way,
however, for a prompt consideration of
the worlds fair bill. should the select

which time the subcommittee is ex-
pected to report upon the extent
and quality of Chicago's subscriptions

tive customs bill stands next to the
Montana contest on the regular caucus
programme. Saturday, according to
the new order of business, will be de-
voted to the calendar for the passage of

matters are likely to be discussed Tues
day. The committee on naval affairs
has several measures of interest on the
calendar, prominent among which
are the McAdoo bill to prohibit
the enlistment of aliens in the
navy, and the Mates retirement bill.
The naval appropriation bill is also in
a position favorable to speedy consid-

the elections committee will take the
floor and call up three contested cleo

Parrott. Indiana: Bowen VS.. Buchanan,
Virginia; and Waddell VS.. Wise, Vir-

committee has reported in favor of the
sitting Democratic members. there is
likely to be little discussion. save that
Mr.. Cheadle is expected to champion
Posey's claims. But in the case of
Waddell VS.. Wise there will be tri-

committee will contend for Waddell,
the Democratic minority for new cleo
ton, and Mr.. Wise for his own seat.
Saturday afternoon has been set apart
for the delivery of eulogies upon the
late Representative Laird, of Nebraska.

the Police.

A Despicable Scheme Blocked by
the Police.
Last night two couples from Mime
apolis came down to st. Paul on visit.
They registeredat Keefe's hotel as man
and wife. The proprietor of the
hotel discovered from one of the
young woman's crying there was some
thing wrong, and notified Sergeant
Sweitzer and Officer Call, who arrested
the parties. At the station one of the
girls said she was the daughter of a re-
spectacle widow in Minneapolis, and
came down with friend of her cousin,
Charles Beche, who accompanied the
other girl. They had missed the last
train back, and her Cousin Charlie had
induced her to go to the Keefe
house. She did not know they
had been registered as man and wife,
and when she found that the others
were endeavoriug to induce her
to retire with her male escort,
she made the protest which the
proprietor overheard. The girl is
respectable and her name is withheld.
Her cousin, Charles Beche, gave the
name of Gibson at the station, and is
employed IN fruit store, and his COM
panion, Lou Nelson, is a Mime
apoIis prostitute. Beche's male
friend, who was In the arrange
ment to ruin the girl, gave the name of

Norton woman will be prosecuted to
the fullest extent to-day in the police

DISTRESS IN DIXIE.
The Great Flood Doing Ire
mendous Damage in Three
States.
Twelve Women and Children
Drowned From a Fpail
Raft.
Terrible Suffering Reported
Among People in the At
fiicted District.
A Levee Is Cut at Red Fork,
Ark, to Get Temporary
Relief.

VICKsBURG, April 6.-Nineteen ne
groes, the survivors of large party of
refugees which attempted to escape
from the overflow down Bogue Falaya
on a raft, arrived here on the steamer
Hill City. They report that twelve
women and children were drowned
when the current dashed their crazy
vessel against tree, and they escaped
with extreme difficulty. This is the
most tragic event of the flood.
The situation is growing daily
more serious in the Steel bayou
country. Earl Miller, a prominent
planter, and brother of Attorney Gen
eral Miller, arrived from there to-day
by steamer Evergreen with his family
and stock. The Miller plantation,
though very high, has gone under. The
Evergreen reports the water along the
bayou still rising. Cattle and hogs are
offered for sale by the people at song.
Much more stock must yet be brought
out or allowed to drown. A steamer
leaves Tuesday for Sunhower, and that
planters will desire to remove their
stock is certain. The steamer Osc1ola
arrived this evening from the bends.
Her officers report that the overflow is
beginning to empty into the Mississippi
through Eagle lake, and predict great
increase in pressure all along the Louis
lana front from that point southwark,
for the next two weeks. The Osceola
begins an inspection of the
levees from Delta, La, northward
tomorrow, and will be joined by
President Maxwell and probably Assist
ant Engineer Thompson. There is the
most unmistakable distress along the
Steel bayou, and it would be cruelty to
deny it. The Evergreen returns there
tomorrow, and the Bousam, with Capt.
w. D. Pugh and NJ. NJ. Smith on board,
will follow Tuesday or Wednesday.
They will bring out all people who are
suffering or in danger. Barges cannot
be taken there, and only the smallest
boats are suitable for relief work.
Capt. Pugh will relieve the distressed,
whether they have money or not to pay
their fare. kilograms from Sharkey,
Tallahatchie river. report decline of
eighteen inches. Capt. John B. Mat
tingly, who has just returned from
Austin break, says it cannot affect the
YaZoo and Tallahatchle country, as its
current is too feeble. Engineer Stubs,
of the Vicksburg, Shreveport IL Pacific
railway, reports the prospects more
cheering, and only twenty points rise in
twenty-four hours at the worst places
on the line. He is confident the road
will hold its own.

Neither.

FORT YATES, N. D., April 6.-The
court martial of Capt. Edmond G.
Fechet, Troop f, Eighth cavalry, which
began yesterday, adjourned over to-
day. The charge is that of drunken
ness while presiding over a court
martial, and the specification sets up
that he was so drunk the court was
compelled to adjourn to permit him to
sober up. Judge Advocate Gen. Groes-
beck conducted the prosecution and
Lieut.. Crowder, who acted in the same
capacity at the Steele court mar
tial at Chicago, appeared for the
defense. Fechet pleaded not guilty.
The first witness, Lieut.. Abbott,
said that he moved to adjourn
the court because it was his opinion
that Capt. Fechet was suffering from
the effects of a long spree. Lieut..
Brooks testified he thought Feehet was
neither drunk nor sober, but just be-
tween. Lieut.. Aver testified the same.
None of the witnesses were willing to
swear positively Fechet was drunk, and
he may be acquitted on technicality.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The state
department is like clam. 1t is practi-
cally shut up. The officers who are
easier of access are not at liberty to say
anything for publication, and Secretary
Blaine is not to be seen. All efforts to
find out anything about the recent or
pending negotiations about the fisheries
question, or the seal fishery question in
Behring sea, or the reciprocity negotia-
tons With South American republics,
have been futile. The state depart
ment officials will not even admit
that such negotiations are in prog

refuse to affirm that Sir Charles Tup-

be seen any day at the Arlington hotel,

questioned about his action toward the
disabled City Of Paris. He states that
the story published is not true, and is
vouched for by one of his saloon pas
sengers, George G. Stearns. Capt. Rob-
erts states that he laid by the Paris six
hours, and that on the boat from
the Paris coming alongside his
vessel he informed the Off
Ger in charge that he would do all in his
power to assist the disabled ship. He
signalled the steamer Aldersgate, and
with her proceeded to come up to the
Paris. and, on reaching her, informed
Capt. Watkins that he had spoken to the
Aldersgate, who was willing to tow the
Paris to Queenstown. He also offered
to take off her passengers and leave
them at Queen stown, not New York, as
has been incorrectly reported, and even
stated to Cap. Watkins that lift was alb
solutely necessary to save life,h would
tow the Paris to Queenstown. Capt.
Watkins, on learning from Capt. Ro-
berts that the steamer Aldersgate would
tow him, signalled: Thanks; go

dence published in the East, is so
strange that many think Secretary Win

that the court did. The case has at
