reached the danger line and is rising
steadily. At noon yesterday about a
million feet of logs broke loose, carrying
hGms, piers and several outbuildings of
Page Bros Lumber ompany down
stream. Most Of the logs are lodged
against the upper bridge, %endangering
that structure SO that traffic had to be
suspended. The new starch factory is
inundated and will stand the strain for
some time to The west bank of
the river has caved within twenty feet
ct the Commercial hotel. 4 crew of
meE is at work building up the ends
of the daT. as tic water is within six
inches of the river bank. Hundreds Of
anxious citizens have been watching the
rushing stream all day. Should the
river rise a few inches more, which is
quite likely. there is no question but that
the upper bridge will go, carrying every

Washington, May 12.-In the senate
to-day the tariff bill was taken up. The
pending amendment was that Of MIR.
Perkins to the amendment of Mr.. Jones
(Ark.) to change the duty OH boracic
acid. MIR. Jones amendment increased
the duty from 20 per cent ad valorem to
&c per pound. Mr.. Perkins amendment
was to increase it to the present rate, sc.
Mr.. Harris moved with some temper to
lay the pending amendment that Of Mr..
Perkins to make the duty on boracic acid
5. per pound) OF the table.
The motion was carried by a strict
party vote-31 to %. The question then
occurred upon Mr.. Jones' Compromise"
amendment to change the duty from -
per cent to &c per pound.
Mr.. Aldrich moved to strife out md
insert Sc.
Mr.. Harris moved to lay the amend-
mcnt on the table. Carried by a vote
of 81 to -.
Mr.. Honr offered an amendment to the
Jones amendment, providing for a spe-
citic duty of 30 Fer cent on boracic acid
in place of &c per pound. He wanted a
record of Democratic sentiment Oh the
two systems.
Mr.. Harris remarked that he should
have it, and moved to lay the amendment
o II the table, which was carried by a
practically unanimous vote. Mr.. Dolph
alone voted in the negative. The vote
then required on the Jones compromise
amendment, the Republicans voting with
the Democrats. Mr.. Mills alone voted
against the amendment. The vote on the
next amendment offered by Mr.. Jones,
changing the duty on chronic acid from
10 per cent nd valorem to &c per pound
IAN incl of 90 per cent?, was taken
without debate. The Republicans again
voted with the Democrats and it was
adopted-6 to 2-Mr. Allen and Mr..
Mills voting against it.
The next amendment was that increas-
ing the duty OH citric acid from 20 to
70 per cent al valorem. Mr.. Harris
moved to lay the amendment on the table.
1t was carried-29 to 20, as was his mo-
ton to lay OH the table an amendment
of MIR. Aldrich to substitute &c per pound
for % per cent ad valOrem on citric acid.
The amendment increasing the duty to
25 per cent ad valorcm was then adopted.
The Republican senators by their votes
to-day. and also in private conversation,
indicated the purpose of voting for the
amendments proposed by the Democratic
compromise committee wherever they
could make changes from the ad
valorem to the specific system.
1t is understood that this ques-
tion of policy was under discussion by the
Republican advisory committee to-day,
and that while IL majority of those pres

Washington. May 1.-THE senate took
up the tariff bill again to-day, but made
Little progress. There was an evident
desire On the part Of the Democrats to
welt until after the Republican caucus
to night before taking any decisive action.
The Democrats are hopeful that the cau-
Gus will decide upon treating the tariff
in what they consider IA business like"
moEne and letting the bill proceed upon
its course without us much spccch-making
end without the effort at delay which the
Democrats claim has been displayed by
some of the Republican senators sc far
in the debate. There is unquestionably
a large element on the Republican side
of the senate chamber opposed to any
course which smacks in the least of fill
clustering. This element includes a large
number of senators from the West, and
also a sprinkling Of the older Eastern
senator's, who feel that they have u rec
ord to sustain against dilatory tactics.
The younger New England Republican
senators are, however, almost a unit in
favor of continuing the fight upon the
lines which have been pursued up to
this date.

Washington, May Ex-senator Davis
to-day gave notice of an amendment to
the tariff bill providing for retaliatory
duties upon silks, ~velvets, pushes and
lace and all manufactures of these arti-
cles, and also upon dice, draughts, chess
meE, billiard goods, dolls, toys, brandy
and ether spirits manufactured from
grain, champagne and still wines against
countries imposing discriminating or pro-
hibitory duties upon grain Or it's product
or ether agricultural productions exported
from the United States. The senate to-
day adopted several compromise amend
ments to the drug schedule of the tariff
bill, but rejected amendments offered by
Republicans. Senator Walsh introduced
II bill making it Il crime punishable by
imprisonment from one to twenty years
to retard or obstruct the passage of any
train carrying the United States mail.
Senator Squire presented petitions from,
several G. A. Il. posts of Washington
State praying for the recognition of Lin

Several unimportant bills were passed
in the house. The Only important bill
passed vas one giving the Washington,

tive Barnes Compton of Maryland was
laid before the house.
The Republican senators held q eau.

as to the course to pursue in regard to
the tariff bill. A great many speeches
were made and many plans proposed,
but no decision n reached. 1t il prob.
able that the Republicans will continue
to act as they have for several days and
only vote for amendments which they
consider in the line of protection.

STEWARD OF OCEAN LINER.
a Position of Responsibility with an
Army of subordInates.

.
Army of Subordinates.
Tt may surprise some old globe trot-
sers to know that the big ocean grey
hounds running between New York
and the European ports carry on an
average of $4,000 pieces of sterling
silverware for their table service, and
that this large amount of plate is han
1led during the voyage by from 200 to
24O walters or stewards as
shey are called on shipboard. The
chief steward is responsible for ev-
cry piece. He must be man of quick
oowers of observation, a student of
human nature and be up to all the
little devices of small army of sub
0rdinates usually keener and quicker
witted than those usually found
ashore in the same calling. 1t is a
busy day for the steward twenty-four
hours before the time set for depar-
ture. He has purchased or contracted
for all the supplies and an assistant
sees that the contracts are fulfilled.
But his personal attention must be
given to the silverware. He
keeps a regular debit and credit
account and can tell to a tooth
pick just what he will start away
with On the voyage passengers are
apt to lose spoons or forks or other
ware by accident, and occasionally a
gay blade may think it amusement to
toss a sugar bowl or half dozen
knives through a port hole 1t is
needless to say that he furnishes a
luid pro quo before he goes ashore.
When the other side is reached the
chief steward spends a day in balanc-
ing accounts. He started with so
much and SO much should be on hand.
If there is a difference.he seeks to ind
it, and if he can't find it he makes
good" himself. The responsibility of
such position naturally commands
high salary, and every chief steward

ceptiOn, man of unimpeachable in

There are more ways than one to

woman, with flashing black eyes. Il
know a woman who was left penni-
less in New York. She was riding on
the elevated road one day when she
was struck with the sameness of the
advertisements that are posted up in
the cars. She thought that she could
write good advertisements, and she
thought out a lot of little four-line
rhymes for a certain article she
submitted them to the advertising
manager of that firm, and they were
accepted, and now she is making a
lot of money every year with her

were we'll supplied with people TO

willing to let her try her hand and

These are busy times at the Repub-

the congressional campaign committees
in Washington. Tons of copies Of pub

and party arguments are being sent all
over the United States, particular atten-
ton being paid, of course. to doubtful

are war veterans. The subject is made
