FARMERS DISCOURAGED.

CantPal Iowa and Part OF Illinois
in Sad Straits.
DEs MONIES, To-, May 9.-It has been
raining in Central Iowa since Sunday
afternoon. and tonight it seems increaS-
ing instead of abating. A large amount
of water has fallen, and the farming
prospects are cOrrespondingly gloomier.
Not ali acre of corn has been planted,
and hardly any blowing done. Wheat
and oats, what little were planted,
begin TO look yellow on all the lower
lands. Reports being received here all
agree that the farmers are losing cour-
age, and unless there is sudden
change IN the weather, a great deal of
the land will remain implanted this
year.
BURLINGTON. To-, May 9.-The situa-
tiOn here in regard to the flood is little
better. The river has fallen about three
inches, and it is believed the worst is
over. st. Louis, Keokuk IL Northwest
ern trains ran over their own line today,
but were from one to two hours late.
They passed through two feet of water
at Alexandria, Mo. The trip through
several adjacentIllinOisc counties showed
a deplOrable situation in farm lands,
much water standing in the fields and
the crops of wheat and oats looking
sickly in the low lands. 1t is still rain
ing, and reports from Iowa points show
q distressful condition of things.
KEoKUK, To-, May 9.-The Mississippi
river continues to fall. No further
damage has resulted. The st. Louis,
Keokuk d Northwestern trains resumed
running between Keokuk and Quincy
today.
OTTUMwA, To-, May "a heavy rain
booming again. The water has risen
rapidly and continues to rise. The
heavy rain of tonight, it is feared, will
swell the river TO the highest point
since 1856, when all the city, except
that part on the heights was sub
merged.

ARRAIGNED BY ABBOTT.
The Brooklyn Divine Sails Into
Princeton.

NEW YORK, May 9.-Since Dr.Lyman
Abbott, the successor OF Henry Ward
Beecher, avowed belief in eternal
damnation there has never probably
been such significant utterances as were
contained in DR.. AbbOtt'S sermon in
Plymouth church Yesterday. He ar
ralgned and condemned Princeton sem
mary and its methods. He charged
that the spirit of traditionaliSm shown
in the teachings of the school is the
breeder Of deriSiOn, and the mother of
scepticiSm. DR.. Abbott also declared
that the spirit of traditionalism en-
genders the spirit of hypocrisy, because
it drives men from the pulpit and from
the church if they do not believe, and
that it is depriying the church of some
of its best aud nOblest men.
Said DR.. Abbott: II indict the spirit
of traditionaliSm because it is the
mother of skepticism. While it pre-
tends to defen the belief, it is destroy
ing the faith, because it is demanding
that men shall believe, not the great
truths of religion, but the traditional
addenda that have gathered about the
great truths of religion. Faith is faith
in God, not IN creed; faith is faith in
Christ, not in Westminster divine;
faith is faith in the life that is revealed
in the Bible, not in the teachings of the
nineteenth century concerning the
teachings of the sixteenth century about
the Bible.

whether the convention is going to be
wildly enthusiastic over Boies as to in

Boies or nothing. The Des Moines

In reply, would say that the United

Revised Statutes provides that ''eyery

Dlstillers of brandy from apples,

These dlStillers either pay the tax upoI

Before diStiller commences to operate

spirits produced by him. When
the spirits are placed in the
warehouse, which he is re
quired to provide, an additional
bond, known as the warehouse bond,"
is executed for the payment of the tax
upon said spirits. In addition to this.
the distillery premises and apparatus
are liable for the tax, and the govern

themselves for the tax due thereon.
Until the tax is paid, the government
has the custody of the spirits by lis Of

the expiration of three years, or sooner,
if the owner desires the possession and
use of the spirits, the internal revenue
fax of 90 cents gallon must be paid.

nifcent fve-story store at the corner of

Sixth aid Robert streets.
Negotiations, which have been under
way for several weeks, were yesterday
completed whereby the Boston North
west Building syndicate agrees to erect
five-story store on the property indi-
Gated for Mannheimer Bros. 1t is to be
ono of the finest store buildings i'll the
country. Thomas r. Kimball, of Bos-
ton, is the architect selected to draw
up the plans for the new block.
Mr.. Kimball arrived in the city
last Thursday, and has since
been i'm consultation with Messrs. Mann
heimer Bros. and looking over the Sc
lected location preparatory to design
ing sketch of their new home. 1t will
be only sketch at first, for Robert
Mannheimer, the senior member of the
firm. will visit several large cities with
Mr.. Kimball and inspect the arrange
ment of several large dry goods stores
recently erected. 1t is the intention to
adopt the best features In these into the
building i'll st. Paul. Mr.. Klmball re-
turned to Boston last night, but will be
in ST. Paul again in two weeks, when
work will be commenced on the fOunda-
ton of the block.
The building will be of yellow brick
and cut stone, five stories high with
dimensions OF 100x100 feet. The main
entrance will be through span arch
way on Sixth street. No expense will
be spared OH the structure or its finish
ingS, which will be completed and
ready for occupancy before Jan. Is
of next year, as OH that date the firm
will take possession of their new
quarters. With the Ryan hotel, the
Chamber of Commerce building and the
Metropolitan opera house as its imme-
diate neighbors the new building will
add much to business interests in that
fast growing locality and goes a great
way toward insuring the future of East
Sixth street as business street.
Other parties who hold desirable
property on that street will
gather courage from the venture
of the syndicate and follow the example
by erecting business blocks and bring
ing large portion of the city's trade to
that street.
East Third seems to be doomed. Its
death knell has been sounded as busi-
ness street. Robert Mannhelmer, speak
ing of this thoroughfare, said:
Eyes, we have fine building where
we are. and we regret deeply to be COM
PEELED to make this change. but Third
street grows worse every day. There
are no new enterprises coming on the
street, no buildings being erected and
nothing being done to try and keep
what business there is left. We are
moving to our new location simply on
account of the demands of business, and
we will either rent Oh sell our block on

shore. The greatest havoc has been
created in the "squatter" settlement
called Oklahoma, half mile below the
Merchants bridge. Here dozens of
house boats and cabins, formerly on the
shore, are either half under water, float
ing or travelling down the river. The
lumber yards along the river are
in danger of changing owners,
while the steamer lines centering here
find no room on the levee to store their
surplus freight when their wharfboatS
overflow. No serious damage has yet
been reported, but the river is at the
|. danger line, tweDty-eight feet, and
what another days rise may do to the
cotton stored in some of the levee
cellars is yet to be told.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 9.-The
heavy rain which fell today in this city
and vicinity has caused the river to rise
still higher. 1t is not probable that the
rise will be sufficient to cause any great
damage on this side of the river, but
Harlem, town lying on the other side,
is i'll danger of being flooded. A further
rise of fourteen inches will cause an
overflow in that town, and some of the
inhabitants are making preparations to
move. Tonight it is colder, but the
prospect for more rain seems good.
CHILLICoTHE, Mo-, May 9.-The rag
ing waters of the Grand river continue
increasing in volume. The track OF the
Wabash road few miles east of this
city was inundated and all trains were
abandoned today. The erOads have dyked
their tracks west of here to the low
grounds and trains are running regu-
larly. The water is still rising slowly,
and should it go foot higher it will cut
off the water supply of the city.
BRUNSWICK, Mo-, May 9.-Rain con-
of an incn an hour. and Grand river is
still rising at an alarming rate. The
south bank at this point is overfiOwed,
and from here up into gentry county
there is an eXpanse of water a mile
wide

Explanation Touching Ware
houses as Viewed by Al
lance Men.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The house
this morning proceeded to the further
consideration of the river and har-
Dor bill. The pending question was
the reconsideration of the vote by
which the house on Saturday agreed to
the amendment providing that in the
cases where authority has been granted
to the secretary of war to make con-
tracts for the completion of certain
works, if no bids be received which are
deemed by the secretary to be advan-
tageOus to them, the material may be
purchased and the work may be done
otherwise than by contract. ReIuct-
antly, but recognizing that by so doing
they would escape day of filibustering,
the advocates of the bill voted to recon-
slider, and the amendment was then
rejected.
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, moved to re-
commit the bill, with instructions to the
committee TO report it back with an
amendment striking out the contract
provisions. Mr.. Cultivate, of Ohio, moved
to amend the instructions by requiring
the committee to strike out all apprO-
priations which are for new works or
for the further extension of works now
under construction, so that the bills
shall include only appropriations for
the continuance or completion of works
now in progress. The amendment was
lost. and the question then recurred on
Mr. Holman's motion, which was de-
feated. After some further discussion
the river and harbor bill was passed,

was as follows:

AIDING SHIPBUILDING.
The Senate Passes the House En-
cOuragement Bill.

COuFaSement Bill.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-In the senate
today after the routine morning busi-
ness, MIR. Frye, from the committee on
commerce, reported back the house bill
to encourage American shipbuilding
He said that the report was unanimous
and that he had been instructed to move
its present consideration, which motion
was agreed to: The bill having been
read, Mr.. Frye stated that two ships
only were to he admitted to American
registry. They were to be excluded
from the coaStwise trade; and might be
used by the government (by charter or
purchaSe) in case of war. The two
ships to be admitted were the City of
New York and the City of Paris, of the
Inman line, the two largest ships today
in the world, since the Great Eastern
was broken up.
Mr.. Vest supported the bill, although
it lacked, he said, good deal of meet
ing his convictions on the question of
free shipping. The statement had been
repeatedly made since the bill passed
the house that these steamships would
receive large subsidies under the postal
subsidy act, but the bill, he said, would
have no such effect.
MI. Mills expressed the opinion CnaC
the two ships would be entitled to sub
sidy, but Mr.. Vest persisted i'll the con-
trary opinion, because the subsidy bill
applied only 10 American-built shiDs.
Mr.. Sherman read 4 clause of the pend
ing bill to show that the City of Paris
and City of New York were to be en-
titled to all the rights and privileges of
vessels of the United States, Except
that they should not be employed in the
coastwise trade;;" and he gave it as his
opinion that that clause would confer
upon their owners the right to make
contract under the postal subsidy law.
Mr.. Vest remarked that if that was
the construction tC be put upon the bill.
it would be repeal, by implication of
the postal subsidy bill. which absolutely
required American-built ships.
Mr.. Mills, in order to make the bill
conform to Mr.. Vests views, moved to
amend the bill by striking out the
clause read by Mr.. Sherman. At the
close of 3 long discussion the vote was
taken on Mr.. Mills amendment to strike
from the bill the clause which would
entitle the two ships to contract under
the postal subsidy act. The amendment
was rejected without a division. The
bill was then passed just as it came
from the house, and after an executive
session the senate adjourned.
