NO TAN ON SCIENCE.
An Important Change Made in the
DinEIey Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The op-
position made by the colleges of New
England and by many scientific men
against the duties placed on books and
scientific apparatus by the Dingley
bill induced the trainers of the measure
to amend it today and restore so many
OF these articles to the free list as are
imported for the use of educational
institutions. They drew a new para
graph for the free list as follows:
Scientific apparatus. Instruments books
charts and chemicals such as as are not pub
nsned or made in the United States when
expressly imported in good faith by and for
the use Of any regularly established or in
corPofated university, college academy
school, seminary OF learning or free pubic
library, not intended for sale and the sec
rotary OF the treasury shall make suitable
regulations to carry out the intent of this
paragraph.
The rates originally fixed in the bill
were 70 per cent on books and As per
cent on scientific apparatus The par
agraph, under which works of art i'm
ported for free public exhibition were
to be admitted free under bond for six
months, was broadened 80 that works
OF art exhibited free Of charge for at
least one-siXth Of the time at q fixed

RIVER ON A STAND
TRY. BUT HELENA is
SAFE.

HELENA, Ark, March 24.-The river
has been on a stand here since last
night, the gauge registering 49.5 feet
tonight. The observer says the situa-
ton is bad for the country generally,
but Helena is perfectly safe on the
water that is to come. y rev break
in the Modoc levee caused The river to
fall above Westover yesterday, which
checked the rise mere The fall at
Memphis had its effect here to check
the rise, but the fall thare - from
breaks in the levee up acout Osceola,
and the water must come back here
He still thinks the water will SO to
fifty feet or over unless the levee
breaks in Mississippi.
The steamer Maude came up this
morning from Modoc with six families
consisting of about thirty people with
household goods they had saved and
twenty-five head of horses and mules
These people are mostly IN Good cir

bills Will be taken up and all probably

TO be to report the bills practically as
they were agreed upon in the last SEES
sion.
The meeting was devoted largely to
discussion of the necessity for filling
the committee vacancies, which was
prec1pitated by Senator German. who
called attention to the crippled condi-
tlon or the senate, on account of the
failure to make the committee assign
ments. Mr.. German suggested the
wisdom of a compromise ARRANGEMENT
whereby the Republicans should retain
their present chairmanships and which
would permit the filing of the vacan-
cies on basis that would be fair to
all parties. The Republicans replied
by saying that there was no immediate
necessity for action, but claimed that
If they were to be placed in a position
where they would be held responsible
for committee action, they had a
right to ask that they be given a work
ing majority on the committees They
called attention to the fact that they
were the plurality party in the SEN
ate, but said that if all the other par
ties could unite upon an organization
they were willing that the combina-
ton should take control
Senator Pettigrew suggested that
there were four parties in the senate
and that the Republicans might COM
Dine with some other party and thus
secure control beyond Deradventure.
Senator Kyles probable aff1Iiation was
freely discussed and 1t was agreed on
both sides that he would act with the
Republicans on organization.

THE HOUSE.
PRODUCERS PAY THE FREIGHT.
Injustice to the Great Mass of Farm
ers of the Observation-Disclosures
apOIis Matters.

Congressman Fletcher's stand on the tariff
is not acceptable to a large portion Of his
constituency, as the following memorial,
signed by a number of Minneapolis citizens.
and which he is asked TO present to congress,
will show:
We, the undersigned, citizens of the city
Of Minneapolis, would respectfully request you
TO seriously consider the following petition:
The prosperity of our city and state is al
most entirely dependent on the products of
the soil and the manufacture of these prod
ucts. As large proportion of these prod
ucts have to seek a foreign market the
price OF nearly all the products is regulated
by the world S supply and demand. Our farm
ers have TO compete with Russia. India Can
ada. the Argentine Republic and other coun-
tries, some Of which are much better situat-
ed than we are, being nearer the seaboard.
our mlIlefs export large quantities of -four
and have 10 compete with the whole world
with the disadvantage of having 10 pay freight
on packages and extra cost of handling.
As our people have already all the burdens
that they can bear, We earnestly ask YOU
to co nothing to increase these burdens by
making what they have 10 sell cheap, in ex-
citing foreign nations 20 still further dis
criminate against them in retaliation for
nigh tariff against their customers; nor to
make what they have to buy dear. by helping
trusts and monopOlists TO extort from them
much more than justice demands, in denying
them the right Of buying in the markets in
which they have TO sell.
AS we import large quantities of coffee. tea
RUBBER, spices, etc, somebody has to make
or raise products for export to pay for these
imports, and what we would especially ask
you to do while listening to the appeals of the
representatives of trusts and mOnopOliSts for
help is TO remember the interests of those
who have to compete in the worlds market
and pay the freight What We would ask
you to reminder is that you cannot grant any
benefit to one class without a corresponding
injury to another class. You have nothing
to give but what you take. As exporters and
consumers, we desire 10 enter a protest
against placing any further restrictions on our
liberties for the benefit of any one, and we
feel that we have a right TO demand that
you place no burdens on US that are not
placed on all and that you grant no favors
to any one that you cannot grant to all.
We ask no government bounty, knowing that
any such bounty can only be given at t.
expense of our fellow countrymen. All that
we ask is that our government will refrain
from taxing us for other peoples benefit.

MEMPHIS LEVEES HOLD.
The Flood Situation There Seems to
he Unchanged.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 24.-The
river bulletin issued by the weather
bureau tonight, again announces q
slight fall in the river at Memphis
a tenth of a foot. This has been the
record for the past three days incIud-
ing today. The gauge therefore reg
listers 1858 feet. The bureau predicts
that for the next twent-four hours
the river will remain about stationery.
The fact that the river continues to
rise at Cairo is sufficient evidence that
no considerable fall may be expected
in the immediate future
The situation regarding the flood re-
mains practically unchanged since yes
terday. The fact that the levees below
the city on the Mississippi side still
remain intact and the good news that
they will probably be able to with
stand and further rise, is calculated to
make the outlook more cheering. The
dispatches giving the good news con-
corning the conditions Of the levees be
low this city may be relied upon as
authentic, being received by the rail-
road officials from their agents at vari-
Gus points. In addition to these there
is a message from Maj. Dabney, con-
firming the good news, he himself
having completed an inspection of the
system of levees below Memphis on
the Mississippi side.
The work of the relief committee
continues without any abatement The
committee is kept busy providing for
the wants Of three thousand destitute
people who are here dependant upon
charity. The continued fair weather
is most favorable and each day of sun
shine is welcomed as a harbinger Of
good tidings to the extent that with no
untOward rain falls. to swell the
mighty volume of waters, the end may
be the sooner expected. News has
been received by United States Engt-
neer Fitch that the levee on the Ark
ansas side has broken in two places
below Memphis. and one place not far
below MOdoc. The report concerning
these breaks seems authentic. as EngI-
neer Fitch has acted upon them with
promptness. He has sent a boat with
barges and skiffs for the assistance Of
the people in the country affected by
these breaks. The details concerning
the break at Dawson are meager. The
break near MOdoc was not unexpected.
as the leYee seems to be weak in that
vicinity, several breaks having already
occurred in spite of every effort 10
