River and Harbor Bill.

WASHINGTON. May THE rlver and
harbor bill, Notwithstanding the effort of
many Democrats to defeat 1t, will go
through the house Monday. The prov
incial journals of New York this morn
ing undertook to defeat the bill by pub
fishing an article, emanatipg from Hol
man and one or two others of the clique
of false economists, making the state.
ment broadly that the appropriations
already provided for by the present
session of the fifty. second congress were
S60,000,000 more than the first session
of the Republican congress, with which
so much fault has been found. The
present bill has been counted by the
Democrats as being one of great extrava-
gance because it carried appropriations
of $26,000,000 and committed the gov
ernment to public works which will cost
$24, 100000 more. But, notwithstanding
all that the present river and harbor bill
is, it is the best appropriation bill which
will go through congress. The Demo-
Gratis, of course, have failed in their idea
of economy. because it is found that this
government, in order to be carried on
must have the necessary money for that
purpose. Strange as it may appear, no
person in the house of representatives |
raised his voice against any of the items |
IN this bill which Representative Her
mann, of Oregon, has had inserted. 1t
was expected some of the economists
would make fight against the Cascade
locks, especially as it authorized the con-
tract for the completion OF the work, but
Hermann had SO thor
oughly canvassed the house, and shown
how necessary were all the improvements
which Oregon had in the bill, that no
objection was offered. No attempt was
made to amend either the Washington or
Oregon Improvements, although Rep
'esentative Wilson was not satisfied with
The amount allowed by the house COM
nittee. The Washington senators, how
'ver, have not been Idle, and they have
ecured promises from the senate com
nittee on commerce which will certainly
esult in substantial increase in the bill
when 1t reaches that body. Mr.. Wilson
ecured two provisions tor surveys on the
,nohomish and Nooksack rivers.

The Cabinet Resigns

ROME, MAY 6-Marquis di Rudini,t the
prime minister of Italy, to day rendered
King Humbert the resignation of all the
members of the cabinet, due to the refusal
yesterday of the chamber of deputies TO
adopt vote of confde nee in the govern
ment's financial policy of retrenchment.
The finances of Italy are In bad way.
ROME, May 6-KIng Humbers has not
yet accepted the resignation, and 1t is q
mystery if be has decided what course to
pursue.
PARIS, May 6.-The newspapers here all
hail the Italian crisis with great sat
isfaction. holding that it wll be a check
to the triple alliance. LIE Figaro says
King Humbert is in dilemma, aud must
either disarm the army or see the country
bankrupt. LIE Gaulois claims that the
Italian situation is a triumph tor the
Vatican.

The silver Question.

WASHINGTON, May THE silver ques-
tion threatens to come up again as a
subject of present legislation interest.
The silver men are not disposed to accept
their defeat, and are again circulating
petitions urging the rules committee to
bring in an order, fixing time for q
vote on the free coinage bill. Fifteen or
more signatures have been obtained to
one petition. Representative Pierce, of
Tennessee, who seems to be the principal
mover in the matter, says:
"With the signatures obtained several
weeks ago, Linety-nine names altogether
hsye been secured, exclusive OF the
members of the rules committee. One
hundred and thirteen constitutes
majority of the Democrats In the house,
SO fourteen names yet remain to be
obtained. / do not know what will be
the result OF nv efforts. / may fail to
secure the requisite number of signatures
but intend to keep at work until am
convinced that / cannot succeed"
The onti silver men are not giving
themselves much concern over the matter.
They say they do not believe the
requisite number OF names can be
secured; that the house looks upon the
silver question as settled for this session
and is not In a temper for renewal of
the fight.

section of Louisiana near Bayou Maria
embraces vast amount of land under
cultivation that will be flooded. 1t is
thought Mason's Hills will prevent the
water from reaching the lowlands. The
government fleet has been appealed to by
citizens of the afflicted district for assist
ance. The levees on the Mississlppl side
are still intact and are beiIeved to be Sc
cure. 1t is feared, however, that more of
those on the Arkansas side will go. Late
this evening there is runner that the
great Morganza levee, the largest In the
United States, has given away. This
evening the wind was increasing in vio-
lence up the river. Rain is still falling
and the waves frequently dash over the
tops of the levees, creating panic among
the people.

Thousands in Smoke.

New YORK, May 6.-Eariy this morning
a fire started in the immense slaughter
house of Schwartz, Child & Sulzberger,
wholesale butchers, on Forty fifth street
and East river. The building contained
large quantities of infammable material
and was soon mass of flames. From
there the flames spread to pier at the foot
of Forty fifth street, and thence along the
wharf to Forty-seventh street. The yes.
sells anchored near the docks buried out
into the stream. During the fire 500
head of cattle in an adjoining shed were
turned loose, and went tearing through
the streets in panic. There were many
narrow escapes from being trampled TO
death from the infuriated animals. The
loss ON the building, contents and wharf
is estimated at $780, 900.
