THREE SENATORS SPOKE
Occupied the Four Hours the Body
Was in Session.
Mr.. Pritchard Made His Maiden Ad-
dress, Mr.. White Discussed Rules
and Mr. Jones Free Coinage.

There were three set speeches deliy-
different subjects, and they occupied
practically tie whole of the four hours
that the session lasted. They were made
by the Republican Senator from North
CaroiiDa-Mr. Pritchard-and by the Two
Democratic Senators from California and
Arkansas-Mcsss. White and Jones.
Mr.. Pritchard's speech this maiden one,
was In favor OF q high protective tariff.
and it gave MIR. Hill an opportunity OF
pointing out the anomaly OF the State of
North Carolina having recently, by one
combination, >. elected two Senate ors, one
of whom, Air. butler, had declared the
other day that he had joined the PopuIist
party because ths> Democra.ie party had
been false to its pledges ofstarirf reform;
while the other, Mr. Pritchard, now pro-
fessed the most advanced protect ionist
doctrines. How both OF these Sena, ors
could be gratified, MIR. Nlll was unable to
perceive.
Mr.. Whites speech was In favor of seoh
an amendment of The Senate rules as would
enable the majority to close debate and
force a vote on any pending measure.
Mr.. Jones is the member OF the free
silver maiority OF the Finance Committee
who las charge OF tie substitute to the
House bond bill. He expressed his bc.
lief that the free coinage substitute would
bring relief to the country as 80 other
measure. either an increase OF tariff
duties or the sn!e or tonds, would; and lie
stated his intention, on reply 30 an inquiry,
to press the bill to a speedy discrimination.
a concurrent resolution was offered by
the late chairman Of the Committee on
Foreign Relations tMr. Morgan OF Ala
hama) and was referred to that cornmit-
tee without discussion, conveying the
earnest congratulations of the President
Of the United States, through their repre-
sentativeS IN Congress, tn the President
and people OF the Transvaal republic upen
Their success in establishing free repre-
sentative government, republican in form,
aud In defending their rightful liberties.

Confer on the Brewery Trouble.
Members Believe AmicabIe ADJUST
ment Can Be Had and Further
Conference WIN He Held.

A special meeting OF the executive board
or Association of Retail Liquor Dealers OF
the District. was 6eld last evening at 10.
5lT Ninth street northwest, for the pur-
pose of comforting with the executive CON-
mittees OF District Assembly, No. 66,
X. of L., and the Federation, concerning
the differences between the boss brewers
and the members OF Gambrinas Assembly,
No. 1919.
The conference was called to order by
Mr.. Z. l. Jordan, chairman OF the executive
board of the Retail Liquor Dealers, and
the status as it now exists and the causes
which led TO it were explained at length
by the representatives OF District As
seInbly, No. sc, and the Federation of
Labor.
Under the circumstances, the statements
made were ex parte. there being no repre-
sentative OF the brewers combine present.
The executive board OF Liquor Dealers,
after hearing the arguments of the labor
representatives, took the matter under
advisement.
After the withdrawal of the labor repre-
sentatives the board decided to invite the
brewery managers, Messrs. Heurich, VIII
iatns and Cary, to confer with them on
tlfS A>o utttt dds oCCu AoE
the conference, it being left with the
brewery mana gers 10 appoint day.
The labor representatives who attended
the conference were not inclined to say
anything as to what took place at the
meeting, but it was very evident that they
felt that they had made a very favorable
impression.
member OF the executive board Of
liquor dealers who was seen after the
conference also declined TO discuss what
had taken place further than is already
stated. He said. however, Il was a very
unfortunate state OF affairs. and one In
which every liquor dealer In the city was
more or less interested and as consequence
it would be closely watched.
He was in hopes that some amicaole and
final settlement of the matter would be
reached soon after the conference between
the executive board and the brewery
managers. which would probably be held
within the next day or two.
Several members of Gambrinus Assembly
were seen after the conference. They all
expressed themselves as satisfied with the
course affairs had taken and signified
willingness to abide the result no n,attes
what it might be.

DISASTROUS FLOODS.
Lives Lost and Immense Destruc-
ton of Property.

Owing to the heavy rain of Friday night,
Saturday and Saturday night of last week,
the creeks, rivers and other streams in the
upper part of New York, Connecticut and
New Hampshire overlooked their banks,
and the water from the melted snow tore
great gullies in the mountain sides causing
an immense amount of earth and rock to
fall, blocking railways, county roads car
ried away bridges, culverts, &c The dam
at Bristol, Connecticut, covered 40 acres
and was 40 feet deep The granite breasl
was torn loose and the confined water car
ried destruction in its wake The roar of
the rushing water was heard above the
noise of the storm for miles away. For
the first two miles there were no buildings
near the river, and the water poured out
on the marshes and plains. At Forest
vile, four miles below, people living near
the river were obliged to abandon their
lower stories in many cases before the in
mates were out of bed
The roar of the food aroused families
for miles around, and many people whose
houses the flood had not reached, packed
up what effects they could, in anticipation
of being summarily evicted.
The highway bridges on nearly all roads
crossing the Pequaback were swept away.
Ten in all have gone out and others are
badly damaged. The streets of Bristol
and the village of Forestville were badly
washed in many places. The lower stories
of dozens of houses were covered with
water all the morning, and much property
in the cellars was ruined. The loss in
these two places j. over 500, 900
Litchfeld county, Conn, is damaged
about 500, 900 to roads and bridges
In New York the Mohawk river be-
came raging torrent caused by the great
quantity of water from its tributaries
The towns of Fonda, Schoharie, Glovers-
vile and Whitehall were flooded from 3 to
s feet deep.
Along the Upper Hudson the same re-
ports are sent in. At Saratoga, Schuyler
vile, Ballston Spa, Rock City and other
places much damage is reported. The
streams have not been so high since 1854,
nor the damage so great. 1t will be sew
eral days before the extent of damage or
number of lives lost will be known.
Later dispatches state that the same re-
suits are reported from the other New
England States 1t is not so much in the
damage to factories, but the unusual de-
post of mud, sand, etc, and the throwing
out of work of thousands of laborers and
the loss of their homes, that is to be re-
oretted
