THE LAZY CONGRESS.
1t May Not Get Through With
Its Work Before September.
SENATOR ALLEN is HOPEFUL.
Business in the House ut . Standstill,
Democrats Not Having Returned
From Chicago Convention.

WASHINGTON CITY, June 27.-Varlous
opinions are held by public men in wash
ington City at this time regarding the
probable time that congress will adjourn.
There seems to be majority who believe
that the present session will come to an
end between now and August l. There
are others. however. who insist that it IS
utterly impossible to complete the work
that is now before congress before Septem-
Der 1. or even later. Senator Allen, how
ever, takes different position from any
other public man in Washington City.
He says that if the Democratic congress
men will now get down to business and
push the work before them as they ought
to do there is no reason why the summer
recess should not be reached as early as
August l. The senator says that so far as
his work is concerned he believes he will
be successful in getting all the bills of
interest to Washington that it is
possible to pass through the Senate as
early as that date and If he can do this he
is anxious for an adjournment at that
time. He also believes all the legislative
work of national Importance, such as the
appropriation bills, can be successfully
steered through both branches and signed
by the president by that date If there is
any delay whatever in closing up the work
1t will be upon political lines, and he does
not believe it is policy on the part of either
party, even in a political campaign.
1t is probable that the Puyallup Indian
bill will be taken up for consideration
some time this week. Senator Allen said
today that he was watching every opportu-
nifty so as to get the floor in order to bring
the bill up for consideration. The delay
up TO the present time, he says, has been
owing to the fact that SO many senators
have been absent during the past two
weeks, and also because the chairman of
the committee on Indian affairs has been
i'll for that length of time. The senator
has every hope of being able to secure the
passage of the bill that he favors, and will
make convincing speech in favor of the
measure when he is successful in calling
it up from the calendar.

this the following incident will show:
When the Beaver was under charter to
the imperial photographers in these wa
tiers she one day struck on rock. The
shock was so violent as to knock every
man on board off his feet, but being under
full Roadway she passed over the rock
and continued on. Serious injury
was feared. The pumps were sounded

ances, no damage had been sustained.
Several months afterwards the Beaver was
placed on Laing's ways for an overhaul

Hye-oak planklng was found a piece of
rock about nifty pounds in weight, which
the brave little boat brought away as a
trophy at the time of the accident Work
upon the alterations will be commenced
today, and in ten days the Beaver will en-

The idea OF the Worlds Fair Company
was 10 raise the wreck, the make necessary
repairs to hold the ancient hulk together
and then ship it to Chicago via Winnipeg
and St. Paul. The transportation having
been successfully accomplished. the plan
was to have working model of one of the
Atlantic greyhounds exhibited side bv

itors. who had never seen a Teuton;c or a
Majestic, what advances in the art Of shin

Tho Water Supply Of Chicago Again
Polluted-High Water at Burlington.

foiIuted-High Water at Burlington.
CHICAGO. June 27.-The food in this VII
entity have been at a standstiil today and
there Is prospect of the water receding
soon. The damage in the vicinity Of
Grand Crossing and South Chicago. as
well as in the western and northwestern
suburbs Is very great. Some physicians
fear that much sickness will result from
the filling of the easements of thousands
of houses with water and the formation
OF swamps in low districts. In the lum-
Der districts the estimated losses, in
direct and direct, will be $780,
900. Between 1900 and 5000 men
Will be out of employment for at
last week. The current in the river is
still rapid, rendering it impossible to
move vessels with safety. As conse-
quence at least 800 vessels of various
kinds will be tied up in the lower
part of the river and North harbor for sew
erai days at great expense. Vessel men
say the loss to them will reach 800. coo.
This included the damage to the vessels,
the expenses of keeping them here idle,
the losses of possible cargoes, etc.
The city water supply is pollute by
sewage from the river having reached the
crib, and considerable apprehension is felt
lest much sickness follows.
BURLINGTON, Ia, June 27-The Mi ssis-
sippl river is rising at the rate of half an
inch per hour. 1t has risen nearly foot
since last night Four inches more
will equal the big rise of
1883. Factories are compelled to close,
and piles of lumber. rs well as buildings,
are anchored. The river above the
city is twenty-five miles wide, hav-
ing spread all over the low lands
OF Iowa and Illinois. A steamer with a
crew of workers left tonight to help trans
fer those in danger to safe places.
Trains have ceased to run on some lines,
and other lines are in danger. A number
of families and much stock has been re-
moved from the bottom lands in North

of $50 insurgents attacked 800 federal

desperate fight, but ultimately the rebels
were repulsed with considerable loss on
both sides. Then the political chief, ESQ.,
bar, in turn took the offensive and with
the greater part of his force, armed with
American rifles, charged on the revolu-
tionists, who had only partially recovered
from the repulse which had resulted from
their previous attack. The fighting was
in many cases hand to hand,
and was of the most determined
character. The federals charged with
great determination and cut their way
slowly through the insurgent ranks. In
the midst of the fight the rebel chief
Vargas was killed and it looked as though
victory was assured for the federals. The
subordinate rebel officers rallied their
men. however, and the government troops
were finally forced, fighting every inch of
the ground. into town, where they are
now intrenched. There seems 10 be little
doubt that the whole province is in state
of revolt. The federal officers are doing
their best to impress the men. but are
meeting with small success. Many fed
erals are running away into Uruguay.
The guards along the frontier disarm all
of them before permitting them to enter
the country. Should the present state of
affairs exist much longer there will be
great suffering throughout the province OF
Matte Crosse. Provisions are already get
ting scarce, and prices are going up.
