WASHINGTON TOPICS

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The Senate
took up the Montana election contest to-
day. 1t will be debated probably for
two days and the Republican contest
ants Saunders and Powers) will be
seated, probably by strict party vote.
When the election cases are out of the
way, the Dependent Pension bill will be
debated and disposed of. The Under
valuations bill follows this on the or
der of business, but it will hardly be
reached this week. Saturday will likely
be devoted to the consideration Of bills
on the calendar. Several set speeches
on political and economic questions are
expected at odd times. At some time,
probably early in the week. the Florida
nominations will be taken up again in
secret session and confirmed.
The Worlds Fair Committee has not
been called together by Senator Hiscock
but it will meet doubtless during the
coming week and 1t may agree upon q
report within the next two weeks.
The House began the week with indi-
vidual suspension day and members
having bills in which they are inter-
'sted are calling them up for passage on
recognition by the Speaker.
The programme for the rest of this
week will not differ greatly from that
of last week. The Republican members
of the Committee on Territories intend
to bring up another Statehood bill for
consideration, that providing for the
admission of Idaho. The Democrats
will oppose the bill on the grounds on
which they opposed the Wyoming bill
which was passed by the House last
week. The Army Appropriation bill will
be further considered and passed, and
IT nORSlhla that fha
Appropriation bill will be taken up for
consideration. On Thursday, beginning
at o'clock, the House will hear eulo-
gies on the late Samuel Sullivan Cox,
and on Saturday, beginning at 8 in the
afternoon, similar exercises in honor of
the late Representative Newton w.
Nutting, of New York, will take place.

PrrrsBURa, Pa, March 31.-The ar.
rangement of another schedule with no
conflicting dates with the National
League will come up for consider
alton at the special meeting of the
Players League to be held in New York
next Wednesday. To effect this it will
necessitate the making of an entirely
new schedule.
To-day Manager Hanlon said: IA
change Of this character could be made
with business propriety. So far as
Pittsburg is concerned, conflicting dates
inspire us with no dread, but see no
good reason, however, for warfare
such as the National League has mapped
out and the disturbance is of its crea.
tion as our schedule was the first to ap.
pear"
"As the schedules are now arranged, "
said Mr.. Hanlon, New York. Brooklyn,
Philadelphia and Boston are without
baseball attractions on July 4th. A
change should be made in the schedule
regardless of any charges of timidity,
etc., the National League may make.
Tho Players League will not leave the
patronage offered by these cities go I'M
harvested. Business interests make
conflicting dates at any time seem un
necessary and impraoticable. Neither
the public nor our adversaries can find
fault if in emergencies such as exist we
rise to the practical sense of guarding
our own interests"

THE CITY OF PARIS
Over Sixty Hours at the Mercy
of the Waves.
PANIC AMONG THE PASSENGERS.
A Belief that the Desire to Break tho
Record Caused the Accident.

iners' Institute-The Elections In Por-
tugal- Crowds Visit Bismarck Presi-
dent Carnot's Trip-Queen Victoria's
Rheunatism Parliamentary Elections.
LONDON, March 3l.-The accident to
the City of Paris occurred when the
vessel was 216 miles off Fastnet. The
passengers say they heard a loud crash,
quivered and the humping of broken
machinery in the engine room shook the
steamer from stem to stern. She began
leaking badly from q hole which had
been broken in the bottom.
The pumps were quickly manned and
the boats were ordered to be cleared.
The passengers were much excited, but
the officers remained calm, and their
presence OF mind and enforcement of
regular discipline soon had the effect to
restore the confidence of all on board.
The steamer Adriatic passed tho City
of Paris, bound west, and would have
aided her but for the fact that the
freight steamer Aldersgate, which also
came up about the same time, was able
Three tugs soon joinedhthe Aldersgate
and aided in towing the City of Paris
to Queenstown. On arrival at that port
the passengers assembled in tho saloon,
and after a religious service in recogni-
tion of the providential escape had
been hold, resolutions were adopted
complimenting the captain and Grew
upon their able and unwenried efforts
for the safety and comfort of the pas
sengers.
A purse of 5000 was raised which
will be donated to the Liverpool and
New York Mariners Institute. Tho
steamer was drifting about for go hours
before aid came to her. Fortunately
the weather wac fine and there was
hardly a breath of wind. Signals of
distress were constantly shown, rockets
Finally, on Friday morning, the Adri-
alto was sighted. She offered to take
off the passengers and convey them to
New York, which was all that she could
be expected to do under the circum-
stances. Some of the passengers thought
that the big White Star steamer ought
to have turned around and lowed the
City of Paris into port. but the officers
of the City os Paris said this would have
| been against all precedent. and entirely
| unnecessary in view of the fact that the
disabled steamer was not in distress,
and was in reach of other help.
The passengers speak very highly of
| the conduct of the officers and crew,
both in the matter of managing the
| disabled ship and in that of making
the passengers as hopeful and comfort
| able as possible. At the same time
there is the general feeling that the
breaking of the machinery was the re-
suit of the tremendous strain put upon
| it in the desire to beat the record.
The officers of the vessel were very
| reticent as to the exact nature of the
accident, and the passengers have very
hazy views on the subject. There is a
| general impression that the affair was
| much moro serious than was given out
| or than the officers cared to admit

A Card Of Thanks

While the rulers of nations and the gov
ernors Of states have been in the habit of
issuing Thanksgiving proclamations, and
often saying what they do not mean, we
feel IL to be our pleasant duty to return to
the people of Waterbury and surrounding
towns the sincere thanks which they so
richly deserve for our wonderful prosper
ity and phenomenal growth since 1888. In
these days of heavy failures and unbridled
rascality in the commercial world, the
swindling of customers and the misrcpre-
sentation of goods, we cor fees that We
were almost di 'couraged in the idea of
building up business upon the princi-
pies which alone should win success,
namely Upright conduct in every partic-
ular, honest dealings in all its details, and
keeping close eye on the market 80 as to
give the whole people the benefit of the
lowest prices on earth How well We
have succseded we will let the people
judge.
II 10 refreshing to ourselves to know that
Q Arm can be successful on these princi-
pies in these degenerate days when every
one is trying to I est his neighbor, and it
must be source of satisfaction to the
people at large to witness it. Four years
ago We outgrew our capacity in the
Grand street building, and ever since We
have been struggling for more room. To

when We could not show our goods to ad
vantage, when we could not deliver always
on time, we feel indebted for their
kind indulgence. We pride ourselves on
one point, however, that no one ever made
q complaint to us about any article of
goods that we did not make satisfactory.
In opening up our new establishment
which is larger by 800 square feet than any
other furniture house in this section of
the state, we have brought to our assis
tance men of large experience in some of
the best houses in the country who come
to US recommended as gentlemen of the
highest character, who are thoroughly
conversant with the furniture trade in all
it's details. We hope to be open Saturday
April 5. We are selling goods right
along from the South Main street
store but we cannot open our doors as the
finishing touches are not completed. The
Grand street entrance will take you to any
part of the new building, where you can
inspect our stock. Our Undertaking de
partment will be up stairs on the Grand
street side, where our patrons will be able
to select what they require at prices that
will merit their confidence. Again thank
ing the public for their liberal patronage
We will continue to remain the public's
obedient servant

FLOOD SUFFERERS,
Relief Committees at Work In Memphis
to Help tho Distressed.


MEMPHIS, March 3l.-The situation
below here is growing more des-
perate every hour. The levees along
the whole coasts are water soaked and
weak, the pressure continues, and in
spite of all efforts to save them they are
bound to go.
The Cotton and Merchants Exchanges,
the travellers and the women of this
city have held meetings and subscrip-
lief of sufferers. The people responded
promptly, and when the Govern
ment boat leaves she will take all
the provisions she can carry to
the food bound sufferers, and
will bring off all she can reach,
and carry them to places of safety. The
difficulty is that many are back of the
river where q steamboat cannot reach
them on account of the trees. Skiffs
must he depended on, and the work Of
rescue is necessarily slow.
The negroes of the city have taken
steps to relieve their own race. who are
largely in the ascendancy in the flooded
districts. The break at Friar's Point
will be very serious. No particulars
cen DO learned, as the wires are all
down. The same may be said of Arkan-
sas City. Nothing has been heard from
there for twenty-four hours.
uated in Desha County, Ark, the scene
is . heartrending one. This strip Of
country is now inundated to a depth of
to 30 feet, and the inhabitants num-
Der between two and three thousand
people, whites and negroes.
Women and children are perched on
housetops and haystacks and in the
trees. Live stock not already drowned
are maintaining a precarious existence
with their wretched owners, in some
instances on tho roofs of residences and
elsewhere on improvised platforms of
wrsckage. Starvation is telling on the
cattle, while tho human victims are in
scarcely less dsplorabls condition As to
food.
