Calling on Grover.

The vital interest felt and mani
tested, in all public circles at Wash
ington, over the fate of the seign-
forage bill, was indicated by the
large number of Congressman and
other public men, who called at the
White House on yesterday, to see
and1confer with the President on
that important subject.
The Texas delegation was repre-
sented by Messrs. Culberson, Say
ers and Kilgore, while other callers
were Senator Faulkner and Cam
den of West Virginia, Senator Ber-
ry, of Arkansas, and Representa-
tive Tom Johnson of Ohio. The
President saw all of these and is
listening patiently to everything
bearing upon the bill that is ad-
vanced. Because his time is so full
ly occupied, the President finds it
necessary to telegraph the commit
tee of the New York Chamber Of
Commerce, which is to come to
Washington to urge veto, suggest
ing that the trip be abandoned.

BURKE's SURRENDER DENIED.

It is now asserted that there is
absolutely no truth in the recent
dispatches from Honduras, announ-
cling that the Hondurean Govern
ment would surrender Maj. e. A.
Burke, late defaulting State Treas
urer of Louisiana.
1t may be stated that the Louisi}
ana authorities have no informa-
ton on the subject and that there
is no other foundation for the story
other than the knowledge that Maj,
Burke has been represented as TAX
ing an active part in defense of the
Government, and as the revolution
lists we're successful recently, the
conclusion has been jumped at that
the new existing Government would
be quite willing to punish Burke for
any service he may have rendered
the former Government by surren-
dering him to the State authorities
of Louisiana, No recent effort has
been made to secure Burke's extra
dition.

Confederate Veterans.

WACO, Tex, March 21. The exec
utive committee Of Pat Cleburne
camp met this afternoon and dis
cussed the rates offered confederate
veterans for the state reunion in
April. 1t was the sense of the
committee that the railways should
be urged by the friends of the vet
erans to give the uniform lowest
rate irrespective of distances, open,
and that the largely augmented
travel with would result would JUS
tify the concession.
Comrade j. G, j, King read a let
ter from Gen. John B. Gordon cour-
teously acknowledging the invita-
tion of the camp to attend the re-
union and deliver his address on the
''Last Days of the Confederacy,
and regretting that it was impossi-
BILE for him to accept.
Invitations have sent to the 9th

TARIFF BILL REVISED.
The Measure Made to Afford $780,.
100000 Surplus Revenue.

Close and conservative estimates
of the amount of revenue which
tariff bill, as reported to the full
committee on Wednesday, will pro-
duce to the Government, is shown,
in round numbers, to be about
1881 ,000, 900. This is a reduction of
between S13, 900, 900 and $14,000,O0O
from the estimates in the. first bill
reported to the committee. The
principal reduction is made in the
internal revenue part of the bill
through the restoration of the
present tax rates on domestic ci-
gars and cigarettes which amounts
to a loss of over $40, 900, 900. There
will also be an appreciable falling
off of duty on tin plate, caused by
changing the duty on that importa-
tion from l 1-5c to Ic per pound,
The change in the fruit schedule
whereby bananas, pine apples and
cocoanutS are taken from the duti-
able list will make up the other
principal items of loss. Bananas
are imported in large quantities and
the imposition of a duty of 2 cents
per pound as first proposed by the
committee would have produced a
revenue of 81, ,O72,2 1856.
The committee found upon inves-
tigation, however, that the bill
would produce more revenue than
would be needed, and as bananas
are not produced in this country
outside of a small section on the
gulf. of Mexico it was decided to re-
store them to the free list. AS the
bill stands if the estimate is correct
it will produce at least $50, 900, 900
more of revenue than will be need
ed. The change made in the sugar
schedule will cause a showing in the
estimates different from the sub
committe bill as the first estimate
was made upon sugar testing nine
ty degrees fine. The estimate for
the present bill will probably be up
on the same grade of sugar, There
would, however, be slight differ
ence in actual returns as the max
imum duty rate under the present
bill is 1.38 IL cents per pound, as
against 40 on the subcommittee
bill The difference on this score
would be controlled entirely by the
quantity of the high grade sugar
imported.

Miss Annie Abbott.

Says the Galveston News: Miss
Annie Abbott, The Little Georgia
Magnet, succeeding in puzzling and
mystifying the audience which
greeted her at the fremont opera
house last night by her marvellous
power. When she touched her
hand to the wall at one side of the
stage with the hands of two of the
committeeman between her hand and
the wall, five Of the heaviest of the
committee could not force her body
to the wall, though the two with
their hands to the wall stated there
was no pressure from her hand
against theirs. She lifted five of
the committeeman piled on the
heavy Georgia chair, simply touch :
ing her hands to it. Then she took
an egg in each hand and lifted two
men and the chair without break
ing the eggs to prove that no mus
cular pressure was used. Miss

HOT SPRINGS FLOODED.
Cut OFF from All Communication with
the Outer World by the Flood,

Yesterdays telegraphic news
from Hot Springs, Ark, announces
that up to that time not a wheel
had been moved on the Hot Springs
railway, since the recent heavy
rainfall forced the waters of the
Ouachita river out of its banks and
flooded the tracks of the road. The
waters have receded to some extent
and at that time were only two feet
in depth over the railway tracks at
Stoney Greek. This was the result
of a fall of five feet in the preced-
ing twenty-four hours, There were
some hopes of getting trains
through over the road yesterday, A
telegram from that city later in
the day said: To-day makes three
days that have passed since this
city has had any communication
whatever with the outside world,
and the hundreds of visitors here
are longing to hear from home.
This has been the most terrific and
prolonged storm Hot Springs ever
experienced. There is no way as
yet to get an estimate of the dam
age done along the Ouachita,
"A farmer who came to this city
today says the destruction of farm
property along the river will be
very great and thousands of dollars
worth of live stock have been de-
stroyed. Plantations never before
covered with water have been
swept clean of everything, even
houses on several places being
swept away, but it is Thought that
the inmates escaped to places Of
safety. There is not a ferry boat
left on the river. Every one was
carried away by the raging waters,
and new boats will have to be built
before anyone can cross the river.
Ozark clouds still obscure the sky
and it looks this evening as though
the rain might being to pour at any
moment, If another waterspout
should follow within the next IL
hours, with the river at its present
high stage, there is no telling what
the result might be.
Traffic has been suspended on the
Gurdon branch of the Iron Noun
tain between Camden and Eldorado,
the track between these points be-
ing three feet under water
Seven hundred feet of the Cotton
Belt track washed out this morn
ing near Saline. The Saline river
is reported rising an inch per hour.

tain main line south of Little Rock
has been repaired and trains are
