Washington. Feb. si.-Intsrest In the
contests over the election OF
senators in the states OF Oregon.
Delaware and Idaho was revived in the
senate today by the circulation OF q
telegram received by Senator Mithceli
OF Oregon stating that the legislature
OF that state would adjourn either to-
morrow night or Saturday. Blu, tbs
apprehension which this part OF the
telegram aroused among Republican
senator's was somewhat allayed by the
assurance which added that an cleo
ton would occur before adjournment.
The information which this dispatch
brought led TO the inquiry as To- the
outlook for adjournment In Idaho and
the prospect Of an election there. Sena-
tor Dubois was able to state that the
session would close March Z but he
could furnish no information as to tho
prospect OF an election
There is no limit 20 the term OF the
Delaware legislature There has been
a slight renewal OF the talk Of having
the Republican members conmbias In

RAGING WATERS.
Delaware River Sees Greatest Freshet
Since 1857 and 1862.
The Damage to Canals, Bridges. ETC.. Will
Reach Many Thousands.

Lambertville, \. j., April l0.-The
biggest freshet since the memorable one
of 1862, is now raging in the Delaware
river. Since yesterday morning, the river
has been rising and this evening" it at
tanned height of Il feet When the PEG
ple along the river front began getting
around today, they found their cellars
full of water and their provisions out of
reach.
The water backed up to tho first floor
of the Lambertville paper mill and the
valuable machinery will be ruined
Roughton dyeing establishment is sub
merged and much damage will result.
Lear, Holcombe 4 Niece's flour mills are
partly submerged and much grain dam
aged. Their lumber yard is under water
and quantities of lumber have driftd
away. Holcombe island is inundated
In New York the damage will be equally
great, Among the places flooded is the
Union paper mill. Families in the vicin-
ity have moved the goods to high ground.
The banks of the canal have suffered
greatly and it will take over two months
TO repair them. There has been great OK
citement here, all day, people expecting
to see their houses washed away.
A dispatch received from Stockton, to-
night, says the banks of the canal there
are being washed away and the guard
locks may go at any minute Should this
occur, Stockton will be flooded and great
destruction follow. 1t will also increase
the danger hero.

BEEF IS HIGHER.
And 1t is Caused by the Scarcity Of Cattle
in the West.

Chicago, April 1O.-The story tele-
graphed from New York to a Chicago
paper that the recent advance in beef
was not justified and that the big Chicago
packers are making an effort to control
the meat market of the country and ad-
vance the price to the consumers, is en-
phatically denied by Nelson Morris
George f. Swift, Armour g. Co., and
other packers
1.-The advance of prices on dressed
beef" said Nelson Morris, this morning,
SIS the result of the scarcity of cattle. Al
ready this year the receipts of cattle
at four principal points Chicago, St.
Louis, Omaha and Kansas City are 300,
600 head behind last years record. Last
week, the receipts were 90, 900 head short.
equal to 1S,000,0 900 pounds of dressed
beef. We are 16, 900 head short already,
this week. The price of live stock is now
SO per 100 pounds higher than last year.
l expect to see the prices go still higher 4"
Mr.. Swift denied that there was a COM
bine among the packers. Manager Fav-
orite of the p. d. Armour & Co, said the
only causes for the high prices of cattle
are the scarcity of beeves and the failure
of the corn crop.

AN INTERESTING POINT
Brought Against the Income Tax In q Suit q
New York.

New York, April 10.-Charles Allen
has begun suit in the circuit court of the
United States for the southern district OF
New York, against President Fish and
directors Of the Illinois Central Railroad
Company to prevent them from paying
the government income tax Of per cent
on the earnings of the company for the
year ending December 81, 1894. Mr..
Allen says, in his complaint, he Is holder
OF five shares Of capital stock Of the COM
papy.
He contends that the income tax Is un-
constitutional because 10 Is direct tax,
but II 1t should be held that it is not
direct tax, then he Inaintatns that the tSx
~ uncollectable for the reason that 1t Is
not uniform, many Of tho stockholders Of
the Illinois Central having incomes Of
less than $1,000. including the dividends
from their holdings Of the stock.

THE INCOME TAX
Presenting More CompIica-
tons to the Officials.
Shall the President and Federal
Judges be Taxed?
New and Interesting Point Brought Out by
Suit al New York.

Washington, April 10.-Thc collection
of the income tax on the salaries of gov
eminent officers who receive moro than
$4,000 year will probably be fraught with
many embarrassing complications. AL
ready the question has arisen as to
whether it is constitutional to deduct from
the annual salary Of the President of the
United Safes the $500 which will DO his
share of the contribution to tho revenues
under the ? per cent. assessment.
The federal constitution expressly pro-
vidcs that the compensation of the Presi-
dent ''shall neither be Increased. nor
diminished during the period for which
he was elected. A deduction of the in
come tax from the Presidents salary IL
construed to Inc dimunition and there
fore contrary to the constitutional pro-
vision quoted. This matter will I'M
doubtedly be brought to tho attention Of
the comptroller of the treasury for de-
cision.
The application of the principle given
is the same with reference to all the
federal judges appointed for life. Their
salaries are apparently protected from the
income tax by the constitutional provision
that their compensation shall not bs
uiHiiu iSH'u uuriHg tnciT continuance III
office The federal judges appointed for
stated term will probably DO obliged to
pay the tax through the deductions of the
requisite amounts from their salaries.
Nearly every one of the officers of tho
government who receive compensation
of more than $4,000 per year have been
busy since the supreme court decision was
rendered, making up a statement of the
income for transmission To the collector
OF internal revenue in the district where
he has legal residence. Tho President
is understood to have sent In statement
and Private Secretary Thurber lost no
time in doing likewise.
The collection of the tax for the year
1895, by the reduction from the compen-
sation of government officers, is operative
Immediately in the case Of number Of
officials, notably all tho ambassadors Of
the United States the minister to Me xico,
consuls generals at London and Paris.
I he deductions will be made from the
first payment to the officer after his COM
pensation reached $4,000 during the pre-
sent year.
There will be no separation of n tax
able income received from the govern
ment and from private sources by govern
mcnt officers in lcvying the tax.
