to take them and he expressed
willingness to do so if they could be
placed in general circulation.
This did not please the admins

to this extraordinary request, en-
failing an unauthorized expense,
but was willing that the work
should be performed If the expens-

rests.

SURPLUS COLUMBIAN COINS.

A New York writer notes that
the carelessness or forgetfulness of
persons carrying pocket pieces or
coins, is Illustrated by the fact that
among the subsidiary coin turned
into the various sub-treasuries Of
the country appear from time
to time the Columbian souvenir half
dollars.
These coins under the act author
izing their issue are a legal tender
in amounts of $40 or under They
are taken at the sub-treasuries, Of
course, at their designated value
only, whereas they cost the careless
or forgetful persons who put them
into circulation from one to two dol
lars apiece.
But three of the fifty cent pieces
have been thus presented at the
New York sub-treasury, none OF the
Isabella quarters have made their
appearances here. Sub-treasuries
in Western cities, however, have re-
ceived numbers of both.
There were ~, 500, 900 Of the Col
umbian half dollars coined, making
a total of $5,0O0,000 pieces, The
quarters are of greater rarity, but
$40, 900 worth or 40, 600 pieces being
coined.

TEXARKANA, ARKANSAS TUESDAY EVENING" MAY 22 1894

that what is good tor Alabama, may
also be found beneficial to Arkan-
sas, then the following article, on
an important subject, from the pen
of an able writer, of the former
state, must prove of general inter
est:
There is no doubt about it. The
tendency is toward the farm. The
hard conditions of the panic of 1898
turned many a city residents
thoughts toward the green fields
and toward the orchard, where his
rural brother was sitting indepen-
IDENTIFY beneath his own vine and fig
tree. In Jefferson county this ten
dency is pronounced. Many old
fields are beingTefenced and put in
cultivation by owners who had de-
serted them for the allurements of
day wages about the towns and
mining camps and in construction
work. This is a cheerful phase of
of the situation. These people, in
stead of loafng around, waiting
for work to turn up, are going back
to that original and primal business
where no man is either idle or hun
cry, save at his own selection.
| But while we commend this ac-
tion on the part of the people who
are forsaking the dullness of the
towns, for the never-failing indus
try of the farm, we do not see in it
any panacea for the evils of the
conditions that affect us here in
Alabama as a whole. We believe
that the truest and speediest rem
edy of all the remedies for our long
depression is more urban popula-
ton, Not population depending
on trade with the country, but en-
gagged in creative industry, and
constituting consumers of farm
products. We have a preponder-
ahce of country population now.
One twentieth of them can more
than feed and clothe all the people
engaged in the occupations. A
half dozen good sized farms can
overstock any of our markets.
Our farmers are needing mark
cts more than they need any legis-
lation. A few large industrial cen
tiers, with busy artisans to be fed
will do more to vitalize agriculture
than any other agencies that hui
man ingenuity can set in motion.
A hundred thousand manufactur-
ing population at Birmingham, 5O,-
600 at Annistown, and similar in
crease at other places, would renew
prosperity throughout the country
and double the value of every acre
of land in Alabrma.
The erection of steel mills and
foundries and factories is Just al
important to the farmer as it is to
other people, and more so, A peo-
pie with one occupation cannot
prosper We have been pegginF
along for generation, and the
measure of what we have achieved
in varying the industries of the peo-
pie, in putting artisans at work
The most lively hope and the most
substantial inducement held out to
the farmers and land owners of Ala
bama today is the prospect that at
least one great consuming city will
grow out of the magnificent start
made here in Jones valley.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
Tariff in The Senate and State Bank
Tax in The House, The Or
der of The Week.

In the Senate yesterday began
the Senate weeks discussion of the
tariff bill, by that body taking up
the metal schedule, and it is now
morally certain that the entire
week will be devoted to the tariff
without attempting any other bus
ness than that which can be done
in the first half hour of daily ses-
sions and possibly an occasional
brief executive session after
o'clock for the disposition of un-
confirmed nominations.
Senator Harris re-affirmed his in
tention of pressing the bill forward
as rapidly as was possible to do so,
but he said, he had no idea for a
moment to extend the daily ses-
sions beyond 6 o'clock so long as the
work should go on as satisfactory
as it is going on at present. He
expressed the opinion that the Re
publican Senators who have been
opposing the bill and apparently
seeking to dely its passage, had de-
cided to change their policy and to
let the bill proceed upon its pas
sage after giving the various items
of difference the attention demand
ed by their merits and instanced
the fact noticeable on Friday and
Saturday that there had been a de-
cided cessation of long speeches and
roll calls as well.
This change in the course of
those of the opponents of the bill
who have sought to put obstacles
in the way of its progress, the
Democrats attribute to the two
facts that their opponents have
discovered that they mean to pass
the bill and that the Republican
conferences of the past week have
developed divided sentiment in
Republican party on the question
of delay, with a majority opposed
to all dilatory tactics.
Senator Aldrich thinks it improb-
able that the sugar schedule will
be reached during the week, while
Senator Harris thinks it possible
that it may be. They agree that
this schedule will, when reach ed,
developed sharp debate.

PENNSYLVANIA FLOODS.
Desperate Condition of Affairs in
Williamsport and 9th
CT Cities.

WLLIAMsPoRT, Pa, May 21.-As
night approaches and darkness set
ties down the terrors of the food
increase, The yellow torrent rush
ing down from the hillsides fed by a
thousand mountain streams, and
growing with each passing minute,
assumes new terrors and the panic
stricken people look forward with
dread to the ordeal through which
they must pass before morning, Cut
off from the rest of the world, with
no railroad communication, and
with no telegraph or telephone
communication save the slender
quivering wire over which this mes
sage is speeding, surrounded on ev-
cry hand by the slowly rising de-
stroyer, which has already swept
away million dollars worth of
property and may sweep million
more, the condition of Williamsport
is indeed pitiable, With thirty
three feet more water in its chan
mel than is it's normal height, the
north branch of the Susquehana
threatens to engulf the town,
Every foot of ground in the city
is four feet under water and much
of it is fifteen feet below the sur
face of the stream. Many families
are homeless. Hundreds more ex-
pect to be driven from the houses
in the second stories of which they
have found refuge, before day, and
unless the flood ceases there is no
power on earth that can prevent a
greater disaster than has ever be-
fore visited this hapless city. The
loss of property cannot be even ap-
proximated until the waters recede
and accounts are cast up. The gas
and electric light plants are under
water and the city is without light.
Everyone is desperate, terror-strick-
en- and discouraged.
From Johnstown, comes the fol-
lowing, under the same date, May
21st About 3 o'clock Johnstown
was visited by the most disastrous
flood since the big flood of May 81,
1889 At present it is a hard mat
ter to estimate the loss, but it is an
assured fact that the damage done
in the city and within five miles of
the city will amount to from $50, 900
to $50, 600. The Pennsylvania Rail
road Company is the heaviest loser,
most of its loss being the result Of
bad washouts in its track above
Conemaugh.
For several days the Conemaugh
and Stoney Greek valley has been
visited by heavy rains of an almost
continuous nature. The Stony
Creek reached its highest point
about 9 o'clock yesterday morning
and after that it began to recede
gradually.
By night it had fallen several
feet so that no serious damage was
apprehended But in the evening
a heavy rain began in the Cone
maugh Valley, which continued un-
til about 10 o'clock when a cloud
burst occurred near Ebensburg.
The valley in which the vast vol
ume of water descended is a tribu-
tary of the Conemaugh and short
ly after the cloudburst the Cone
maugh had swollen to many times
it's natural size
At many other points, along the
main water course Of the State,
came tidings almost, if not quite,
as bad as the above. AS yet no
adequate conception of the damage
occasioned by the flood can be
gained,

IN THE HOUSE.

The State bank issue which has
been gathering strength at the eau
Gus and conferences ever since
Congress assembled, promises to
/be fought to a finnish in the House
during the week. 1t will bring out
sharp contest on party as well as
economic lines. The State bank
plank of the Democratic National
platform has advanced the question
to a place of Importance second on
ly to those of tariff and silver.
The advocates of State banks
have been striving for weeks to test
their strength, They failed to get
bill reported from the Banking
Committee. Thereupon caucus
was called and a resolution passed
that the issue should be made be-
fore the HOUSE on an amendment
to the Brawley bill. This long-de-
ferred bill, with the State bank
amendment, is now to be brought
forward. The bill is not import
ant in itself, and it's main use in
serving as bank bill to which a
State bank amendment is germane.

ing Committee, Representatives
Culberson, Swanson and other State
bank advocates, expected to begin
the contest Tuesday or "Wednesday
on a question of consideration
The anti-State bank men are ex
pected to insist that the Indian ap
preparation bill has equal privilege,
in which case a test vote will decide
the strength of the State bank
men, They are confident of win
ming on the vote of consideration
and Mr.. Springer is prepared K
open the debate. The main issue
however, will be on conditional OF
unconditional repeal of the tax
Mr.. Swanson says unconditional re
peal can certainly muster lao vote'
and conditional repeal 155. .tf
The Hatch anti-option bill, is alst
down for hearing during the
week, and its author will endeavo,
to force it to the front. The mos
important events of the week iron
the committee rooms, will be a re
port from the Rules Committee rec
ommending an investigation of th'
armor plate frauds, also one from
the Judiciary committee dealing
with Judge jenkins and his strik
