SPRING FRESHETS.
Great Damage In the East from
High Water.
The Hudson and Delaware Rivers Over
flow, and Many Industries Are
Obliged to Suspend business
for q Time.

EAsToN, Pa, April 11.-Not since De-
cember II, 1878, has the Delaware river
been as high as Wednesday morning.
At that time it reached 20 feet
above low water mark. At 10
o'clock Wednesday it was 81 feet
above and still rising. The old
Delaware bridge built in 1908 is in
danger.
Industries Compelled to Shut Down.
Front street, between Spring Garden
and Church streets, is flooded and resi-
dents Tuesday night moved out in
boats. The retaining wall along
the Delaware has been greatly
damaged. All industries along
the Delaware and Lehigh have been
compelled to shut down. Navigation
on the canal is suspended. Numerous
small buildings along the banks OF
both rivers hoated away during the
night. The Lehigh Water COM
pany has been compelled to
stop pumping, but there is wa
ter enough in the reservoir to last,
for several days and no water famine
is expected. The loss to property in
this vicinity will be heavy. The Della
ware has backed up the Bushkill and
all flour mills are shut down.
Dispatches from the upper Delaware
report the water rising. The Lehigh
river, backed by the Delaware, at
Easton, overhowed its banks and
flooded all the storehouses along the
Easton water front.
Canal Damaged.
KINGSTON, N. Y, April 1.-THE indi'
cations are that it will be a week
before business can be resumed on
the Delaware & Hudson canal.
The freshet has damaged the canal
almost it's entire length from
Eddyville to Honesdale. In dozens of
places for miles the towpath has been
washed away and there are several bad
washouts, the one at Eddyville being
900 feet in length. 1t will be at least
two or three days before the high wa
ter falls sufficiently to allow Of repairs
being made. Telegraph wires are
down and the full extent of the dam
age cannot yet be learned.
In New Jersey.
TRENTON, n. j., April 11.-There is
an extraordinary freshet at this point,
as well as throughout the state gen
orally the volume of water being the
greatest for seventeen years. The
lower floors Of many mills have been
flooded, but the damage is only to the
machinery, as the goods were removed.
At Washington, N. j., during the
worst storm of the night, sixty-tive
houses were damaged by lightning,
and Jacob Hsrring, while at work on a
canalboat, was struck and probably
fatally injured. No further damage is
expected, as the waters are receding.
Vermont Farmlands Flooded.
RUTLAND, VT, April ia heavy
rainstorm prevailed in this valley
all night and all streams about
here are badly swollen, caus-
ing good deal Of damage. Thou
sands of acres of farmland are
flooded and some mills and resi-
dences are In peril. At Bellows
Falls the Connecticut river Is the
highest known for years, The base
ments of some mills are flooded and
the machinery is stopped.

mination not. to call congress together,
and will so announce.
All efforts to secure from members of
the supreme court either an authoritive
confirmation or denial of the Chicago
publication prove unavalling.
Senator Voorhees,. chairman of the
finance committee, when told of the pub
llcation today, said: "It may be that a
portion of the law may not be sustained.
I consider there is a possibility of such
result, but do not know thing. do
not believe any one outside of the court
knows thing about it. But suppose it
should be true that that portion of the
law regarding rents and municipal bonds
should prove to be, in the opinion of the
court, unconstitutional, the law will not
be materially impaired. It will still
afford an immense revenue. Estimates
are entirely too low on the revenue
which would be derived from the law as
a whole. Instead of it including from
$15,OOO,0Oo to $50, 900, 900, it will add
$50. 900 900, $75, 900 900 or even 500 ,OOO,-
900 revenue"
Senator Harris, of the finance commit
tee, declined to discuss the question, as
also did Senator Jones of Arkansas.
Senator PETER expressed the opinion
that if incomes from rents and bonds
should be eliminated the efficiency of
the law would be materially crippled.
Leaving out of consideration the
question of the tax on bonds," he said,
s'rent is most important one when one
considers that one-third of the farmers
in the country are renters that So per
cent of the entire population of the
country at large, and II per cent of the
people living in cities of over 1000
population are also thus classed, and
that in New York city the per centage
of renters is 94. Such a decision would
result in great spread of populism."
Officials of the treasury department
utterly discredit the story sent out that
the shortage in the Carson mint will
reach $500, 900. They say they have no
information that the shortage is more
than 100000. as stated in an Associated
Press dispatch yesterday. They also
discredit the report that the San Fran
cisco Mining Association has asked to
have all Carson City gold coin recalled,
saying no such information has been re-
ceived and there has been no gold coined
at the Carson mint since May 1, 1898.
All coinage prior to that time at that. as
other mints, is regularly tested by the
government assay commission.

WAsHINaToN, April 6.-The attention
of some members of the cabinet was
called today to a dispatch from Chicago
regarding the publication there of the
supreme court decision on the income
tax, but they declined to express an opin-

manifestly improper to discuss any
opinions of the court at least until they
had been officially promulgated.
From another, but entirely authentic
source, it was learned that whetever the
decision of the court may be, the presi-
dent will not call an extra session of
congress, and even should the decision
declare the law wholly unconstitutional,
the president will adhere to his deter

strain Between she Two Governments,
Despite NJ. Hanotaux's Words,
Grows More Intense.

LONDON, April 6.-According to the
latest foreign advices, Belgium, both
automatically and practically, will sup
port France in her claims in the Upper
Nile valley. The Belgian Congo state
expedition, under Vandkerchoven,
which started in 1898, effected a march
toward the Nile, penetrating to great
distance inland. This was all that was
generally known of the expedition until
very recently, its movements having
been kept dark. Through report of
Commandant Tranquil, who was left in
charge of the advanced post, which
Vandkerchoven established, the fact has
been disclosed that number of Belgian
forts have been erected in the Upper
Nile basin. This is the first authorita-
tive information that the expedition had
penetrated to the Upper Nile that has
been made public.
Commandant Tranquil has made re-
port to the administration of the Congo
state, informing the authorities that the
dervishes are menacing his position and
urgently requesting that reinforcements
On the strength of this it is said that
King Leopold is projecting another ex-
pedition, with the ostensible purpose of
strengthening the outposts of the former
on@ 1t is suspected in the foreign Office,
however, that, under an agreement with
France, concluded in the autumn of 1894,
King Leopold will cooperate with France
in the establishment of Franco Belgian
position on the left bank of the Upper
Nile, before the English can secure a
similar position and accurately define
their claims.
M. Hanotaux, the French minister of
foreign affairs, demands that England,
as the first step in the pending negotia-
t1ons shall define what are supposed to
be the boundaries of her sphere of in
huence. This demand has acted as a
check to the policy of the foreign Office.
The sultan of Turkey holds the suzer-
ainty of the whole region in question,
including the equatorial provinces
formerly governed by Emin Pasha. A
section of the cabinet is reported to be
in favor of making decisive declaration,
claiming the whole valley of the Upper
Nile to be within the British sphere and
denying that the sultan has any rights
in the Emin territory. 1t is believed
that M. Hanotaux is willing to refer the
matter to arbitration or to conference,
but, on the other hand, it is suspected
that England is afraid to do either, lest
the question of her occupation of Egypt
should become involved. In the mean
time, the diplomatic advantage rests
with France, and the strain between the
two governments, despite the pacific
words of M. Hanotaux, becomes inten-
sified.

A. NJ. Cannon Found Dead in His Room
In Hotel.


NEW YORK. April 6.-Anthony M.
Cannon, 60 years old, of Spokane, Wash,.
a guest at the Sturtevant house, was
found dead in his room at the hotel soon
after o'clock this afternoon. The hotel
people notified the coroner's Office, and
Deputy Coroner O'Hanlan, after exam
ining the body, declared that no suspi-
cious circumstances, indicating suicide,
were visible, and gave permit for the
removal of the body to an undertaker's.
In the dead mans pockets was found a
card of the bank of Spokane Falls, in
one corner of which was this inscription,

non has been guest at the Victoria
hotel for some time, and when that hotel
closed, April /, he went to the Sturte-
want house. He was last seen bout the
hotel at O'Clock last night. Up to
about p. m. today he had not been
seen to leave his room, and finally one
of the call-boys was sent to investigate.
AS the call-boy could obtain no answer
to his knocks on Mr.. Cannon's door it
was forced open and he was found lying
dead in bed. According to the deputy
coroner, Mr.. Cannon had been dead sew
eral hours. Death was undoubtedly
caused by heart failure, for Mr.. Cannon
hadfor many years been noted as the
man with the lowest pulsation on rec
ord. His average pulsation was 3s, ex-
cept during the past few months, when
it had risen to A per minute. No insur-
ance company would accept Mr.. Cannon
