ARKANSAS CrTr, ARK, April 9-This is the
fourth week OF the great food and there 10
very little prospect of il soon sbating. The
water is going back into the river wherever
there Is a break in the levee. Plantations
in this section never overfowed before

road near Mctihee and Trippe is 5 feet under
water. The Ouwachita division OF the Valley
route Is almost completely under water for .
distance OF eighteen miles. A number Of rail-

HELENA. ARR. April 3.-When the ievees
broke above Helena on the Mississippi side it
was confidently expected that the one st this
place would be greatly relieved and that the
water would fall sufficiently to make way for
the coming rise. As vet, however, we have re-
ceiyed but little relief. The river fell only an
inch during the last twenty-four hours. IL is
due TO the rain that has been constantly fall

cline IN the river at this place for four weeks.

GOOD FRIDAY.
Mr.. Sherman moved to reconsider the vote
this morning for an adjournment over Good
Friday.
Mr.. Edmunds implored Mr.. Sherman not to
press that motion. Good Friday, he said.
was recognized by all Christians of every
description being as holy Sunday;
and, for years and years, neither the Senate
nor the Supreme Court has thought it fit to be
in session Oh that day.
Mr.. Sherman said he did not know that the
Senate had ever adjourned over on ac-
count of Good Friday, and he thought
that in the present condition of public busi-
ness, the best thing that the Senate could do
would be to attend to it. Good Friday was not
legal holiday.
Mr.. PIatt said that, while he was
extremely anxious to get on with the
business OF the Senate, and while
he had no personal scruples about sitting
tomorrow, the question took the form of a re-
ligious matter with many Senators who had scru-
pies against doing business on Good Friday.
He thought that the Senate should recognize
tnese scruples and he would, therefore, vote
against the motion TO reconsider.
The motion to reconsider was rejected.
THE MONTANA CONTESTED ELECTION CASE
was taken up as unfinished business and Mr..
Gray resumed his argument in support of the
| claim of the two democratic claim
ants-Clark and Maginnis. The bur-
den of his argument was against
the throwing out of III votes cast in precinct
"a OF Silver Bow county. On what ground, he
asked, had these ia American citizens been dis
franchised and their votes thrown out trampled
under foot, dispised and rejected. 1t had not
| been claimed that single one of the votes had
been illegal. The regularity or legality of a
| single vote had not been attempted to be in
peached.
But THE VOTES HAD BEEN THROWN OUT
on several technical grounds-one being that
the votes had not been received by
the clerk of the board of county commits
sioners in a registered package. by mail
Gas required by law, but had been handed to
him in sealed package by one of the judges
and another being that the law required
the voting papers (under the Australian sys-
tenn to be signed by the judges
and attested by the clerks Mr.. George asked
what would have been the result if these ia
votes had not been thrown out. Would the
legislature have been democratic instead of re-
publican?
Mr.. Gray replied that that was the fact Only
five Of the votes were cast for the republican
ticket 1t was on such frivolous, fiimsy. un.
worthy pretenses that those ia voters were
disfranchsed and that the Senate was asked to
give seats to the two republican claimants.

to contain each a pound cartridge of dynamite,

posed to be an April fool joke, but examination

indicated that the seven were sufficient TO blow

the dynamite was packed in the box with the
intention of blowing up some depot or wreck

believe that the purpose was TO destroy busi-

plainly that it had been opened before being

Scolding Emin.

LONDON, April 3.-The Times has an edi-
torial impeaching Emin Pasha-. 1t points out
that after British money and enterprise had
extricated him from an untenable position he
is now assisting Germany in an anti-British
movement and says: "Great Britain will know
how to protect the substantial interests of her
citizens, but must not be expected to embark
in wild competition for unoccupied territory
with every one who may still have his political
education to complete in the school of expe-
rience''
The Pail MdR Gazette publishes an interview
with Sir Francis De Winton, president of the
Emin Bey relief committee. Sir Francis after
expressing bitter indignation at the course
pursued by Emin in giving the benefit of his
African experience and knowledge to Germany,
declares that he has in bis possession letters
from Emin in which the lattor begs TO be relieved
from his pecarious position at Wadelai. Sir
Francis De winton regards Emin Bcy as a man
absolutely devoid Of either gratitude or gen.
erosity and asserts that his action in cutting
away from Stanley and the English will lower
him in the estimation of the civilized world.
