FL PISO, Tex. May 20. - Over 800
homeless families. or 2.NW people,
were on the streets of lei PaSo this
morning searching for shelter. Their
furniture, clothing, etc, were piled up
along the principal thoroughfares of
the city. Last night the waters contin-
ned to rise and before day had dawned
had reached a portion OF the city in
and around San Antonio street, where
prominent business and professional
mcn reside. After IL O'clock last night
the flood swept over six more blocks.
The waters were full of struggling
teams hauling out property from the
flooded houses. The Texas 4 Pacific
railroad had thrown up a dyke to pro-
tect it's track near the round house.
II this backed the water up over San
Antonio street. flooding a number Of
houses and threatening to cross the
street and aOod hundreds Of the pref
test residences in the city. Six prom
inent citizens, residing in the vicinity,
headed by Capt. Davis. collector OF
customs, armed themselves with Win
chesterS, and, crossing over the rail
road levee, cut the dyke, letting the
baokwater out, and it began to recede
from San Antonio street. \ troop Of
the fifth cavalry from Fort Bliss came
down to the city to-day and offered
their services to guard property OF
homeless people which was piled in
the streets. The city board of health
met this morning and appointed a
committee of six leading physicians to
take charge of a relief hospital being
established for the homeless and sick,
and tie physicians are taking them to
the improviSed hospital. Col. Van
Valzah of Fort Bliss loaned the city
tifty-three tents, and citizens commit
tees We're out to-day with wagons
gathering provisions and distributing
among the destitute. This morning
the city council held a meeting and
| authorized the mayor to wire Texas
| senator's and representatives in con
| gress to secure an appropriation OF
$4,000 for the relief of the food vic
Tins. The war department has also
been appealed to for more tents. The
food waters in FL PaSo and East El
Paso cover an area averaging four
miles long and three-quarters of a mile
wide, flooding not less than 700 homes,
most of which belonged TO the poorer
classes.

The Resolution Providing for AN
InNestiuatfOn is Referred.

Washington. May 29-AftCr n long
period of silence Senate Tillman or
South Carolina startled the senate by
Il speech no less dramatic in its d"ltv-
cry than sensational in its allegations.
He preceded it by presenting n resoiu-
ton for the appointment of a special
committee of five senators to inyesti-
gate charges Of speculation by sena-
tors while the tariff bill was before
the finance committee. In advocating
the resolution Mr.. Tillman threw aside
the usual conventionalities of the SEN
ale. and with a %plainness of speech
seldom heard about the halls of con-
Sress. called on his associates TO in
vestigate the published charges OF
senatorial speculation. and If found
true, purge the senate of those who
debauChed ii.
Mr.. Aldrich, in charge of the tariff
bill, answered Mr.. Tillman in a sweep
ing denial. The TilIman resolution
was referred to the committee on con
tingent expenses of the senate.
Considerable progress was made on
the tariff bill, thirteen pages being
covered. Several votes were taken
during the day, and the finance com
mittee had n literal majority in every
instance. The Democratic members or
the finance committee made a strong
effort TO reduce the rates on window
glass, but their amendments TO this
effect were defeated.

hot of President Hayemeyer, who was
annuitted by order of Judge Bradley.
Tho government presented its case
very briefly. ~whereupon the defense
allowing the tactics pursued in the
Hayemcyer case, moved that the judge
ardcr an acquittal for three reasons.
oamrly: That the questions Mr..
Ssarlcs refused TO answer were irrel-
want to the inquiry. that they were
~iudiyidual. not committee questions,
and that even if they were authorized
nv the senate resolution, the senate
aid not possess jurisdiction. The mo-
tion was argued at length by the coun-
col on both sides. after which the court
adjourned until Tuesday, when Judge
bradley will deliver his ruling. A very
strong impression exists that the
iudge will sustain the motion and
throw the case out Of court.

Case al Elbow Lake Which Affects
All NO-License Villages.

Elbow Lake. Mimi, May -. 49, The
district court for Grant county. &. L..
Brown. judge. has adjourned. NJ. l..
Holt was convicted of selling liquor
without a license, and vas sentenced
to pay a fine of 800 or sixty days in
Jail, that being he maximum penalty.
He had also been indicted at a former
term for selling liquor without a Ii
censc, but when the case was called
for trial the point was raised that the
indictment was defective, as it had
been dra WIN under the General Law of
1887, whereas it should have been
framed under the law of 1890. The
law of 1895 was passed with a view of
preventing the wholesale of liquor in
places where license had been voted
out. but as the word retail was also
inserted, it was considered that this
law exclusively applied in all villages
where license was voted out. The
question affects all villages where no
license prevails. The judge refused to
quash the Indictment, hut certified it
to the supreme court.
