40 cents ton. MIR. PETER, Populist, of

Mr.. Vest said large majority of Dem

"If the majority of Democratic SEN

iron ore on the free list, how does it
happen that the finance committee re-
ports here duty on iron ore?n
Mr.. Vest replied that it was necessary
to make concessions to small portion
of the Democratic Senators who believed
in some duty on iron ore.
Mr.. PETER asked if this 40 cents ton
duty on iron ore was not yielded at the
request of persons who favored it for
protection alone.
Mr.. Vest replied that whether this was
protective duty or not depended on
the amount of revenue that must be
raised for the government. In his judg-
ment, this duty on iron ore was, under
present conditions, revenue duty.
Mr.. PETER remarked, IF the proposed

undated.
Philadelphia, May 2l.-The flood that
swept down Schuylkin river today has
acknowledgement and violence with each
hour tonight, and the river is raging like
mountain torrent. Above the dam at the
city water works,::the river spread over the
grass lands and driveways of Fairmount
park. The damage there is confined
principally to swashouts on drives. Below
the dam the river is confined to a channel
about half the width of that above by lines
of wharves. At this part the waters over
flowed the wharves and backed up into the
streets, and houses for two squares from the
banks. The water is three feet deep over
the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, and two feet covers the ground floor
of the company's station at 23rd and Chest
nut streets. Six feet of water is in the
Baltimore and Ohio tunnel. Between Arch
andaSpring Garden streets all travel south
is interrupted over the road since noon.
Above South street bridge a feet of
schooners were moored at the wharves. One
of them was torn from her moorings and
swept down upon another schooner and
within a few minutes six schooners and
canal boats were whirling down the river in
a tangle. They soon struck the abutment
of the bridge and came to stop. The mast
of the schooner Robert H. Barr was snapped
close off to the deck and the bowsprit of the
Laurel broke short off. The Mary Lord
capsized and her mizzenmast went over the
side. Sch ooners are jammed together
against the pier and all are in danger of
capsizing. On the Delaware river, water
overfowed the wharyes considerable. At
Manayhunk, one of the great mill districts
of the city water rose twenty-five feet
above low water mark. and up to the second
floor in score of mills. Several hundred
thousand dollars will not cover the damage
done thereby water, and it is stll.raining
hard here tonight.
