MADDOX ON THE TARIFF.
The Georgia Congressman a Good
ROugh-and-TumbIe Debater.

ROugh-and-TumbI Debater.
Washington, March 24.-Representative
Maddox has been selected to lead the
Georgia delegation in the tariff fight, and
to-day he performed his duty admirably.
He made one of the best speeches of the
present session and won new Iaurels as a
rough and tumble debater for he was fre-
quently attacked by the republican lead
ers. His retorts were keen and to the
point, and at the same time he was not
driven from the line of argument he
originated
He started in by demanding a duty on
raw cotton, on the ground that if the pro-
ducts of cotton are to be taxed, the raw
material should also be subjected to a
duty.
Continuing, he demanded protection for
boxite, a new Industry in Georgia, as be-
ing a material out of which aluminium is
made. 1t is on the free list because it is
produced almost exclusively in Georgia
and Alabama.
In response to a question from Mr.
Walker of Massachusetts, Mr.. Maddox
coldly replied, Il am opposed to the free
raw material idea, which the Chicago
convention had repudia ted.
He then asked for protection on man.
ganese and said that one county in Geor-
gia could produce enough to run the coun-
try fifty years, and yet 1t receives no pro-
lection because it is in the south
Mr. Maddox was interrupted by Messrs.
Grosvenor. palzelI, Walker and others by
frequent questions. He referred to cotton,
and said why not apply the same princi-
pie to long staple cotton? Why not ex-
tend the same rights to industries in the
south as well as the north. He said the
bill was sectional, and he spoke strongly
Of the position taken by Mr. McLaurin
yesterday. In conclusion he said the re-
publicans proposed to put a tariff on the
mule, the plow, the hamestring. the lines,
the bagging, the ties, on everything except
cotton, which he denounced as a monu-
mental iniustice.

TWO BREAKS IN A LEvEE.
The Flood Situation Mt Memphis
Practically UNCHANGED.

The Flood situation Mt Memphis
Practically Unchanged.
Memphis, Tenn, March 2i-Since s
o'clock this morning, when the gauge reg
istered 1868 feet the river has remained
stationary. The weather bureau an
nounces that it will probably so remain
for twenty-four hours, but there is every
reason to expect a further rise within a
short time as the water coming down is
sufficient for that purpose.
News has been received by United
States Engineer Fitch that the levee on
the Arkansas side has broken in two
places. one at Dawson's, about 1875 miles
below Memphis, and one not far below
Modoc. Engineer Fitch has acted upon
them with promptness. He sent a relief
boat, with barges and skiffs, for the as
sistance of the people in the country af-
fected by the breaks. Details concerning
the break at Dawson's are meager.
The break near Modoc was not unex-
pected, as the levee seems to be weak In
that vicinity, several breaks having al
ready occurred, in spite of every effort
to prevent such disasters. The levees on
the Mississippi side remain intact and re-
ports tonight contain no intimation Of the
expected change for the worse

Spaniards after a severe struggle at the
conclusion of which the insurgents were
found to have left sixteen of their num-

DIPLOMAT IN A DILEMMA.
Wants to Get Married and Can't Get
His Resignation Accepted.


Washington, March A.-The embarrass-
ment to the incumbents is as serious over
the delay in patronage distribution as it
is to the of1ce-seekers in a number of in
stances, the most notable cases being in
the diplomatic and consular service.
where several officials are seriously In
commoded by the failure to get their res
ignations accepted. One of the most
pressing Of these is that of Larz Ander-
son of Ohio, secretary of the embassy at
Rome. He is republican, and has been
in the service since 1880, when he became
second secretary at London under Minis
ter Lincoln. In 1894, he was promoted to
his present position in Italy, and recently
he has been charge d'anaires in the alb
sence of Ambassador Wayne MacVeagn.
Mr.. Anderson cabled the state depart
ment yesterday begging to be relieved,
but reply had to be sent him, requesting
him to continue a short time longer, and
that every effort would be made to crafty
his request. This condition is mortifying
to Mr.. Anderson, as all arrangements nad
been made for his wedding to a multi
millionaire lady of Boston, Miss Perkins,
soon after Easter. Nothing seems left to
be done, but to postpone the wedding.
No secret is made at the state depart
ment that Senator Eugene Hales son has
been selected to succeed Mr.. Anderson,
but it is thought advisable to nominate the
ambassador to Italy before making the low
er appointment
Consul General Fitzhugh Lees case is
another pressing one. Not only is the bad
season at Havana coming on, but Gen. Lee
does not wish to serve under a republican
administration, which might injure his
prospects of future political honors in his
own state. He has reiterated his desire
to return home at the earliest possible mo-
ment and cannot understand why 1t should
take a month to select his successor

subject. Any accident that NAV oc-

those who allow this illegal obstruc-

1t used to be said in England that
nothing would be done to improve II
railroad until a Bishop had been kill

statement after all.
In Honolulu, years, ago, they used
to drive wild cattle through the
streets, but when maddened steer

the driving of wild cattle ceased, but
of this the present generation know

the President or any of his Ministers

prove the truth of its contention, but
it does think, and the main body of
the people of this city think that the

would not like to spare them, nor
would even the Royalist party wish
them so ignoble an end.

the major portion is reproduced in

neNation question and shows wherein
is the gain to the United States, how
groundless is the fear that Chinese
and japanese would he admitted in
vast numbers, and how the lands
would he developed by foreign capital
If only the Islands should he annexed.
The opinions and arguments of a
man who has been on the spot are
worth a great deal more than all the
arguments of people who obtain their
knowledge from written and printed
documents. There can be no doubt
that the visit of the Congressman to
the Hawaiian Islands was fortunate
one for the cause. They saw things
as they actually are. They saw the
Americanized city and villages. They
saw the style of society they saw the
home life. AS Congressman Tawney
says, "There is no country on the
globe whose manners, customs, bust
ness methods and general character
resemble those of our country (the
United States) more than the Hawa-
liam"
1t is this country, civilized and
built up by American capital and
American energy, which section OF
the United States is willing to cast
adrft to float to alien arms, and per-
haps to ruin. Under the United
States Hawaii must flourish. Left to
herself she is likely to perish.
