DEATH IN THE FLOOD.

Fifty Negroes Drowned on the LowIands
of Tennessee.
MEMPHIS, March 49, Sensational
rumors are afloat today as to the break
| ing of levees above and below the city,
causing serious damage to property
| and stock. So FAR these reports have
not been verified in full, but sufficient
is known to warrant the statement
that before nightfall an additional 200
square miles of territory will be sub
merged.
In the territory covered by life
steamers appalling facts came to light
this morning. Drownings of negroes
are ficially reported until the num-
ber now reaches almost half hun
dred.
The relief committee thus far has
ample funds to feed and clothe all the
afflicted in the city. kilograms from
points 65 miles south of this place ask
for steamers to rescus the people left
by the last trip of the boats. Two
steamers were despatched east and
west, and are expected to return at
midnight with several hundred per
sons.
A dispatch from Washington author
lied government engineers to lend
men to further the protection of life
and property. The river is still rising.
A family of six found a watery grave
by the capslzing of dugout while
making for his land today. Two were
infants. Along the Memphis levee,
for half mile, there is congregation
of negroes awaiting their turns for re-
lief. No one is refused.

Greek Army of Occupation Cannot be
Starved Out.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, March 22.-The
opinion prevails here that the blackade
of Crete by the fleets of the foreign
powers, which commenced yesterday,
will be useless, as Colonel Vassos,
commander of the Greek army of oc-
cupation, is we'll supplied with pro-
visions. 1t is thought the best means
to accomplish the Withdrawal of the
Greek troops from Crete would be to
withdraw the Turkish troops.
Edhem Pasha, Turkish commander
in Macedonia, has telegraphed to the
minister of war not to send any more
reinfo.cements on account of the scar
city of provisions. The commander Of
the Turkish squadron, which just made
ready for sea, received sealed orders,
but it is not believed the warships will
leave Gallipoli.
The Turks at Tokat yesterday at
tackled the Armenians in a church.
Fifteen were killed. 1t is feared this

The Best is Not too Good

There never was truer saying than
that "The best is not too good" when
speaking of the accommodations for a
long owe land journey and therefore
it will be well for the traveller 60, g
east to remember that he will be very
weary when he gets to ST. Paul or
Minneapolis, and that he should make
a wise choice o; routes from there to
Gage or Milwaukee. The Wiscon-
sin Central trains run between these
points making close connections with
all trains at both terminals. Posted
travellers seek tois route for many rea-
sons, one of which is. they can get a
we'll cooked meal at moderate price,
and eat it at leasure as they speed to
their destination. Address Geo. s.

the Sufferers From the
Flood of the Miss
issippi

WASHINGTON, March 19.-This wa:
a stormy day in the house of represen
tatives. The republican leaders, be
| fore adjournment, secured the adoption
of special order fixing the limits o
| the tariff debate, and two of the regu
lar appropriation bills which failed tt
become laws at the last session were
passed and sent to the senate. The
other two will be passed tomorrow, SC
that, as Cannon remarked today, all
the driftwood of the last congress will
be swept away before the struggle over
the tariff begins.
After a good deal of crossfiring be-
tween Dingley and McMillin. it was
finally arranged that 5000 extra copies
of the majority and minority reports,
and also 5000 copies of a comparative
statement of the tariff, should be
printed.
Dalzell, from the com mittee on rules,
pl esented the special rules under
ch the house was to operate during
The tariff debate. The rules provided
that general debate begin on Monday
at 10 o'clock and continue to and iu-
Guiding Thu sday, March 25, with
night sessions, after which the bill
should be open to amendment under
the five-minute rule committee amend
ments to have precedence), until March
81, when the bill, with pending amend
ments, should be reported from the
committee of the whole and the pre-
vious question be considered as
ordered, on the third reading and final
passage of the bill. The rules also
gave leave to print for 20 days.

CUBA WILL BE FREE.
The Opinion is Now Generally Prevalent

The Opinion is Now Generally Prevalent
in Havana.
New YORK, March pa World
dispatch from Havana says:
Only few ,of the more excitable
Spanish officers refuse to admit that
Cuba is lost to the crown. Resident
Spaniards confess they can see no other
outcome. In fact, evidences that Cuba
may in the end be freed by Spanish
residents themselves are many and
strong. The calmest minds predict
the end of Spanish rule within two
years. Some say not so soon; others
say within year.
The proposition of Cisneros and
Gomez, sent in writing to the New
York World, to buy the island, is
growing in popularity here. Its warm
est advocates are Spanish residents
here, loyal to the crown. They are
the active financial and business men
of the island, the owners of eight
tenths of its wealth and its sources OF
wealth.
The Spanish element is condemning
with more and more emphasis the
fruitless, exhausting policy of General
Weyler. They see his idea of Daciica-
tion is depopulation; his plan for peace,
devastation. Farmers, laborers and
all wealth-producing classes in the
country are driven to their graves or
to the rebel ranks to destroy what re-
mains. Wealth already produced is
given to flames. They see that Cap
tain-Geueral Weyler is making no
military progress. The Cubans are
being left more and more in possession
of the country. They frequently sack
small towns close to Havana. They
are in force in cities of the fourth and
third class once or twice a month.
Such things grow more common.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The heavy
rains of the past 48 hours in central
valleys will cause continued rise OF
the Cumberland, Tennessee, Lower
Ohio and Mississippi rivers and inten-

1t is probable the floods in the Lower

Louisiana, Arkansas and West Missis-

SHOOTING OF HALL.
Inquest Over the Remains of the Umpqua
Trapper.

| Trapper.
MEDFORD, March q. - Coroner
March1essner and District Attorney J
A. Jeffrey returned today from Ell
creek, where they were called to hold
an inquest on the body of Gustav A
Hall, who was found dead near hi:
cabin Monday. The trip was anything
but desirable one, as good portion
of ii was through snow knee-deep, by
way of mountain trails. The scene OF
the shooting was the Umpqua divide,
80 miles nor beast of this city. Upon
the arrival of the coroner, jury was
empanelled. and an inquest held.
The jury found that the man came to
his death by gun-shot wound and the
gun was fired in the hands of Lee Par.
sons, young man living in that local
ity. Parsons was placed under arrest,
and taken before Justice A. J. Willard
and after number of witnesses had
been examined he was held to appear
before the grand jury.
Parsons is boy about 20 years old,
and lived with his uncle a few miles
from the scene of the shooting.
No cause other than robbery can be
ascribed for the shooting, and it is
claimed Parsons knew there was money
in the cabin. A thorough search failed
to find anything of value in the cabin.
but showed plainly that the cabin had
been entered and rihed after the shoot
ing.

pany, for the appointment of receiv-
er for the Woolson Company, a ma.
jority of whose stock had been bought
by the Havemeyers, of the trust.
The plaintiffs declared the sugar
trust purchased this stock to injure
Arbuckle Bros. and keep them from
going into the sugar refining business,
that business being run at loss, and
therefore the protection OF the inter
ests of the minority stockholders re.
quired that a perpetual injunction be
made against the Woolsons for selling
coffee at loss, and that a receiver be
appointed to conduct the business.
Judge Morris holds the matter of the
price at which the company may sell
its coffee strictly pertains to the inter-
nal agreement OF the concern, and as
long as they act in good faith the di-
rectors cannot be interfered with by
the court, which cannot restrain cor
porGtion for selling at low price,
even though minority of the stock
holders can show that sound business
discretion would dictate a different
policy. The testimony, however,
showed that the Woolson's were SELL
ing at fair margin of profit. The ap-
plication for perpetual Injunction is,
therefore denied.

TARIFF DEBATE HAS BEGUN
Opened BY Representative DlngIey Speak
ing for the Bill.

Opened by Representative Dlngley Speak
ing for the Bill.
| WASHINGTON, March 22.-Tbe tariff
debate began in the house at 10 clock
this morning. Despite the early hour
OF assembling, there was large at
tendance on the floor and the galleries
showed evidence of great interest in
the proceedings. Dingley and Bailey,
the opposing leaders, were early in
place.
By the rule under which the house
was Co operate, it Immediately resolved
itself into'a committee of the whole
and the speaker conferred upon Sher-
man, republican, of New York, the
distinguished honor of presiding over
the committee.
Those who expected the debate to
begin Immediately were disappointed.
TIE leaders decided to have the bill
read in full at the outset in order to
disarm the criticism passed on pre-
viors bills that were put through with
out even having been read in the
house. The spectators in the galleries
and members on the floor waited while
the clerk droned through 1853 pages of
tire bill.
Diugley opened the debate. He
said the committee had endeavored to
discard mere theories, and addressed
themselves to framing practical rem
eGy for the ills of the country. He
said by placing wool on the free list
the treasury lost s2l, 100000 revenue
and the farmer 100000, 900 per year.
Ire new schedule would increase man
uiacSuring, aid woolgrowers and ulti-
mately increase the revenue. The
sugar schedule would increase the rev.
enue and encourage sugar production |
in this country.
Dingley estimated that during the |
second year the bill would yield $780,
000, 600 increased revenue. In con-
clusion, he urged the need of prompt |
action. Dingley was followed by Gen.
eral Wheeler, of Alabama, who opened
for the minority.

Distribution of Patronage Will Continue
as of Yore.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-Postmas-
ter-General Gary will continue the old
policy as to distributing patronage of
the post-offices and he announced to
the Associated Press today that he
would not deviate from the practice
followed by past administrations. This,
as general rule, gives to every sena-
tor the privilege of recommending a
postmaster for his home postoffice, and
allots to each republican senator the
large postoffices In his district, which,
however, in the case of a senator not
of the republican faith, will go to the
republican committee or other referee.
With these exceptions, the republican
representatives ale Usually permitted
to name the postmasters for their re-
spective districts. In democratic dis
tricts, the selection is left to referee,
and perhaps to a republican congress
sional delegation, who will have to
keep themselves posted as to the dates
of expiration of terms of postmasters,
as the old custom Of the department of
sending notices to senators and repre-
sentatives of expirations of postmas-
ters' commissions, which was stopped
by Postmaster-General Bissell, will
not be resumed.
