WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE demo
cratic caucus finished its labors today So
far as the reorganization of the commit
tees of the senate are concerned. The
session of the caucus was not SO long as
was anticipated, despite the fact that
there was some discussion on the subject
Of the reorganization of the elective of
fees of the senate. There was a prevail
ing sentiment in favor of speedy reor-
ganization of the clerical and executive
force of the senate, and the sentiment
took tangible shape Immediately after
the adjournment of the caucu when the
caucus committee met in Mr.. ltansom's
room for the purpose of considering the
subject. Up to this time the committee
has been so busily engaged with the re-
vision of the committee lists that the
other matter has been referred to only in
an informal manner. This important
branch OF the work of the majority is
now, however, well under way. and it is
probable that by this time next week. if
not earlier, the elective officers of the
senate will have been changed.
The committee provided chairman
for Senators PETER and Kyle, the
populist members, and permitted Mr..
Stewart to retain the craftsmanship of
the committee on mines and mining.
which he held under the republican or
ganiZation. There was some debate over
this action and some opposition. but the
influence of the committee prevailed and
the silver senator from Nevada will not
be disturbed. Either upon the standing
or select committees places were found
as cnairmen for all the new democratic
senators.
The republicans are given eleven com
m%ittees, just the number they gave the
democrats.

Callers at the white house today were

Callers at the white house today were
rot as numerous as on previous Jays,
and those who came were given but
brief audiences, as it was necessary to
cut short the reception on account OF a
session of the cabinet. .
Representatives Kilgore and Bailey OF
Texas were among the early callers.
They came to present the name of G. b.
Stewart of Gainesville, Tex, for appoint
ment as judge of the Muscogee (lndian
territory court.
With Secretary Gresham came en-
Congressman Blount Of Georgia, who
was chairman of the house committee on
foreign affairs of the last congress.
Blount was summoned to Wash.
ington by ~tereyraph and arrived
this morning. He was shown into
the private secretary's roo while
Secretary Gresham joined his colleagues
who we're with the president. In n lit
tie while Blount was sent for and pro-
ceeded to the cabinet room where he re-
NAMED for some time. 1t is said that
he will head the commission to be sent
to Hawaii immediately.
1t is rumored that when Blount re-
turns he will be designated to perform
special duties under the direction of
the secretary of state. His position
will be a permanent one during this adj
mihistration and he will hold much the
relation to the state department
Foster did during Secretary Blaine's
incumbency.

VERY HIGH WATER,
II Has Reached the Highest Point in
Forty Years at Grand Rap
ids, Mich.
Childreh Go to School in BOats-Much
Suffering from the Prevailing
Cold Weather.

DETROIT. March 1.-THE high water
in some of the rivers in Michigan has
subsidized, while in others it is still doing
considerable damage. At Grand Rapids
the water is past the highest point in
forty-two years and is still rapidly rising.
One hundred houses on the west side
are surrounded by water. Children go
to school in boats and thirty families or
moe have been taken out on RATS and
have suffered intensely from the cold
storm that has been prevailing. Last
night the city was in darkness because
the electric light works were flooded.
The big Wallln Leather Works, the
Noight Milling Co., the Stowe d Davis
Furniture Co., the Priestly Wagon and
Sleigh Co., the Grand Rapids Cycle Co..
Hartman's foundry and several other
concerns shut down today. Probably
fifty concerns are now idle. Four inches
more of water will stop the engines in
the electric street railroad power house
and the cars will have to stop running.
Several bridges half a mile below Grand
Rapids and some above are carried away.
Gunneson swamp district, where many
workmen reside, is atloat, and house
owners are using boats in going back
and forth. Black Hill regions are also
under water. The Felt boot works and
the Cord ~ Bradtield's furniture factory
are cut off from communication except
by telephone and boat, and work is sus-
pended. Above Marine City the Belle
river is rising rapidly and great damage
is threatened. The river is five feet
higher than usual and is blocked with
heavy ice at the upper bridge, and half a
mile furthur up there is a fleet of forty
or more vessels in the river and all have
taken precautions to throw out anchors
and extra fastening to keep from being
carried down the stream. If the gorge
nowf formed above the upper iron bridge
gives away it Will sweep the river clear
OF craft, thereby causing an immense
mount of DAMAGE. Every factory in
Midland is closed down and the city
water works plant is flooded and cannot
be operated. The body Of Mrs. Sullivan
who was drowned Sunday has not vet
been found.
At Lowell a large number of stores
and other business places are flooded;
several mills have closed and many small
buildings along the river have been car
ried away. Telephone communication
between the two sides of town has been
cut off. Fifteen families have been
forced to abandon their homes. At Iona,
Muir. Portland and a number of places on
Grand river no further damage is feared
az the water has gone down consider
ably. In Iona county the total loss to
and others is estimated at $50
600. !
~iSnpEMING, Mich. March 1.-The
heaviest snow storm of the season set in
Saturday night and it has showed ...An-
ever since. Railroads and ny "
ways are completely blocked. VA

WASHINGTON. March 1.-The free
gold in the treasury has been built up.
1t aggregates more than %S5,O00,O0O, Sew
eral offers were today received from
western points a~ggrega.ing 100000.
Secretary Carlisle is accepting these Of
fers as fast as he can supply small treas
ury notes for them. Only the most adj
v~antageous offers are now accepted. The
treasury department is also accumulat-
ing gold in the ordinary course of bust
ness, though no offers of god 10 any CON
siderable amounts have been received
from eastern banks.
Today being the anniversary of the
birth of the king Of Italy, Baron Fava,
Italian minister, gave a diplomatic din
ner in honor of the event.
President Cleveland has decided upon
a line Of policy to be pursued in the APP
pointment Of consuls which is expected
to materially expand the trade OF
the United States with foreign coun-
tries, especially with the South and Cen
trail American republics. His policy is
to select men for appointment to consul
ships who have exceptional business
qualifications and possess sufficient trade
instinct to recognize an outlet for Amer,
lean merchandise and the ability to aid
in working up a market for products OF
American manufactures and farms.
The president said that of course pc,
litical reasons cannot be entirely ignored
in the selection OF consuls, but that par
ticular stress will be laid upon the bust
ness abilities OF men whose names are
presented to him.

What Cnrbrtt has to say in Reference Ia
Jacksnn's Challenge.


GALESBURG. March ll.-Concerning
Peter JacksoD's proposition to tight him
in case Mitchell fails to appear, and the
offer of the Buffalo athletic club to have
the fight there. Corbett said tonight:
"In reference 10 Jackson ! covered the
$500 which accompanied his challenge
in New York to fight him in seven
months after my fight with Mitchell,
allowing him to withdraw if Mitchell
defeated me. These terms, which | be-
lieved fair, did not suit jackson, and he
withdrew his forfeit and announced his
retirement. Since Goddard's defeat,
however, he comes forth with the ridicu-
lous proposition that | guarantee him
5000 training expenses to take Nit
chell's place next December in case
Mitchell should funk. I think Mitchell
proposes to fight. His money is up and
If he fails to show that he means bust
ness | will claim the forfeit. IL Jack
son wishes to meet RE seven months al
ter l meet Mitchell, the original PROPOSE
ton is before him, and should Mitchell
funk in any way between now and next
December 1 am willing that Jackson
shall take his place. l am perfectly
willing to have my fight with Mitchell
take place in Buffalo and would suggest
that the nam OF that club be added to
the list mentioned in the articles OF
agreement" Corbett will train on the
farm of Will J.. Davis at Willowdale
near Chicago.

What j. said Concerning the Mitchell
orb Fight.
New ORLEANS. March 13.-Fitzsim-
mons and Julian, accompanied by Judge
Henry Lazarus (Fitzsimmons' attorney,
went to the club at ) o'clock and after
two hours consultation IA satisfactory
settlement was reached. The parties to
the agreement refused to divulge the
nature of it, but it is understood Fitz-
simmons was given the major portion Of
the big purse in cash and took notes
well secured for the balance, the se-
curiety being the clubs extensive prop
erty. Eitz replied to the challenges of
Smith and Hall by saying that he had
announced that he would not go out of
the middle-weight class. Hall might be
able to get down to weight, but after
having been kindly given a chance at
catch weights he ought to get up a rec
ord before he sought another match.
Fitzsimmons and Mitchell buried the
Ratchet during the evening and Fitz
sent a message to Hail forgiving him for
all the cruel things he had said of Fftz-
simmons and wishing him luck.
President Noel said that if the fight
ers recognized the $4,000 from Buffalo
local clubs they would not bid against
it as it would be simply suicide. Mitch
ell said no preferred New Orleans, es-
pecially as it would be verv cold in
Buffalo in December, but the matter
was in Corbett's hands and if he accept
ed Buffalo Mitchell would also sign or
authorize somebody in America to sign
for him so that there would be DO delay.

GIVE THE FARMERS IND .LAB0RlNG
MEN A HEARING,

In the next elections for Senators
and Representatives IN Congress, and
all State offices The PROGRESS Is In
favor of giving the farmers and labor
ing men hearing. Up % date the
politicians have had all of the pie.
While certain individuals who are
supposed to belong to the working
classes named have been given office
they were always those sele cted by
the political bosses, while the rank
and file have been allowed little to
say. This plan has been tried for
the last twenty five years with the re-
suit that our State and National poll
tics is as corrupt and rotten as satan
could wish it. In our own State the
body polite is in terrible condition.
1t is weak, vacillating, demagogi,
and unscrupulous This under the
manipulation and reign of the poll
tician. Therefore we think it time
and bnt inst for the wage earners to
be allowed representation in Congress
on the State ticket and in the Legis'
lature by men chosen by themselves
We believe a change of this kline
would be to the advantage OF the

WILL NOT GIVE THE REMEDY.

4 somewhat lively skirmish Is on
between the participators of the Re
form Press convention that met short
ly ago at Shreveport, and some others
who choose to and do make light and
/ little Of them and their convention.
But the most noticeable is the sling
ing between the Baton Rouge Advo-
cate, the administration organ, and
the Shreveport PROGRESS; AID up to
date The PROGRESS has beyond h doubt
the long end of it, and is puncturing
holes thick and fast in the armor of
the Advocate and is making it leak
considerably.
We are not taking and will not take
part on either side; but are patiently
biding our time and waiting to see
what will be the result of the labors
Of the now soon will be appointed
Constitutional Commission.
We expect that they will offer and
propose many radical changes for the
good and among them some solution
for the now much discussed election
system. That it should be changed
no one who possesses one scintalla of
honesty Will deny. 1t is, we know, a
blot on the fair name of our State, and
shOuld be erased as soon as possible.
If the governor should appoint those
who is currently believed will com
pose the commission. then let all
doubt rest for the future integrity and
honor of our State will be in safe
hands.-The Bee.
We do not propose to doubt the
honest intention of the members of the
commission brother! but their sug-
gestions will come too late to give us
the remedy needed. If we under
stand the matter correctly, this COM
mission will make its report to the
Legislature which will submit the
matter to the people and their accept
ance or rejection will have to be de-
cided by the legal voters AT A REGULAR
ELECTION, which will enable the same
old fraud to be practiced at the next
State election, from the fact that the
amendments CANNOT BE OPERATIVE un-
til this same election has declared
them adopted.
My friend! as you like us, demand
an honest election law, assist us in
forcing the General Assembly to pass
this law so we can have an honest vote
at our next State election.

No Cause for UnPSSlneSS.

The human family is prone to take
gloomy view Of life and to cast
shadow where the sunshine is striv-
ing to gain a place. Just now the
outlook from a money standpoint is
rather uncertain, but there is no real
cause for uneasiaess.
This close listed financial policy is
mainly brought about by the Eastern
and Northern bankers and tho local
institutions are Ginning in jus! to be
in the swim. 1t is just such actions
as these which make the theories of
the anarchists seem plausible and
arouses the indignation Of the Amer
lean people. As matter of fact there
is plenty of money in these United
States, but the bankers are playing a
game-a miserable political one at
that-to gain some point in the finan-
cial policy. But this need not dis
turb the country. Provisions have
been made for all this. So when the
bankers begin to squeeze the mer-
chants begin to lower their prices and
this enables the country to live. So
we say to the farmers that we have
reduced the prices on agricultural i'm
plements wonderfully. And to the
trade that hardware is within the
reach of all at our store.
