Washington, March 1S.-The session

A smile went around the chamber when

shlp.-Reported Mckinley Will Defer
Appointments Until After the Tariff
Bill Passes.
Washington, d. c., March 1S.-(Spe-
cfal. al.)-EX-Congressma Brewer, of
North Carolina, blew into town this af-
ternoon. He is candidate for the
marshalship of the Western district.
Pritchard, it was said, would decide on
his man for the office to-day, but the ar
rival of Brewer caused halt, and it
goes over until tomorrow.
There is nothing new tonight about
the Judgeship. Gov. Russelrs stock is
on the rise. There is no question but
that Pritchard is playing it low down
and crafty. A Southern member, who
saw President Mckinley to-day, said
that the President told him that no Fed
eral State appointments would be made
until after the passage of the tariff bill,
unless in emergency cases, such as where
vacancies occurred either by death or
resignation.
Among the new North Carolina visitors
are S. 7. Pender, of Len0ir; G. Nj. Parks,
j. s. Spurgeon, Hillsboro; S. NJ. Holton,
G. S. Bradshaw, Hon. John s. Hender-
son, of Salisbury.

LAMOREAUX WILL CONTEST.

Says Francis and Bliss Have no Power
to Interfere With His Decision in the
Chicago Land Case.
Washington, March 1S-Messrs. Dudley
d Michener, attorneys for Matt Ben
ner and Harvey NJ. LaFollette, in what
is known as the Mckee scrip Or Chicago
lake front case, have filed a protest
against the action of Secretary Francis
in suspending judgment in the case, when
he learned that Commissioner Lamoreaux
was about to decide the matter They
insist that Mr.. Francis acted irregularly
that he had no authority to prevent the
commissioner, who was, in fact, the
court below, from deciding the case,
and asserts that in doing so the Secretary
exceeded his authority. They also OBJ
Ject to Secretary Blss's order for re-
nearing. They urge that he had no right
to interrupt or disturb the regular proceed
ure of the court below. They claim
that Mr.. Bliss is in error in basing his
action on the ground that the commits
sioner promulgated his decision in def
ance of Mr.. Franciss order, and that
sucn was not the fact. They call atten-
ton to the rules of practice in the Inte-
rior Department in support of their pro-
test.

Five Lives Lost in the Mississippi Flood,

Memphis, Tenn, March 1S.-To-night
the great flood claimed five more victims

four children were trying to make their

strong current overwhelmed the party
and all perished. The oldest child was

Of one tenth.
At Memphis, and throughout this dis

were hurled through the air as if gravity
did not exist. Upward they flew only to
fall back and be hurled upward again.
Over and over again this was repeated,
until the fires below the earth began to
cool and the forces diminish.
Then the thunders ceased and the smoke
rolled away. The shakings stopped, and
the sun came out and looked upon nature
at peace. But What change there was.
All that had been visible before was swept
away, and only the blackened stones left
to mark the scene of the conflict. Not
tree was in sight nor living thing. The
face OF nature was as dead as the earth
was when it rolled through an empty void.
But no sooner had the work of destruc-
ton been completed than nature started
to work to repair the damage. This work
Is now going on slowly. Here and there
can be found patches OF grass and small
plants as if a promise from nature that all
will some day be as it was on the morning
OF the day long ago when the terrible con-
vulsion took place.
But on the whole the spot is veritable
| desert. On the slopes where the sun
shines the rattlesnake Kisses and hIdeous

where the Archduke, who lived in a
castle near Dusseldorf, continued 10 visit
her. Sometimes, when he was prevented
from coming in rerson. he sent her mes
sages by hnssar orderly, telling Marie
that his brother was the chief OF the regi-
ment. (Not his brother. but his uncle,
The Emperor Francis Joseph, is the NOM
inal chief of this regiment.) A few weeks
later the Prince went on visit to
Biarritz, the we!l-known French watering
p ace, and during his absence Crown
Princess Widow Stephanie arr we'd sud
denly in Essen, called on Miss Husmann
and il came to a violent scene between
the high born Princess and Marie.
On being apprised of this unexpected
interference in his private affairs, the
Archduke travelled at once 10 London in
order to make preparations for his early
nuptiais. AS soon as this was accom-
plished he returned 10 Essen Altendorf.
and after remaining four days with the
Husmann family he went with Marie to
London in order there 10 be married to
her by friendly Arch bishop. Marie pos
sessed 10000 marks in cash, which it is be-
lieved sne took with her. The Prince had
spent money freely, but in an unostenta.
tious manner IN Essen, always paying in
either Austrian or French gold. He had
ingratiated himself with Miss Husmann's
brother, the priest, by giving him money
for the poor, and to have masses read.
This statement of the priest has been
pu blished by nearly all the newspapers of
Rhenish Prussia, and has been fully
corroborated by Miss Marie's other
brother, the director, and by many other
persons whose veracity cannot be ques-
toned, among others by the Protestant
pastor, Won Borbeck, who lives next door
TO Rector Ausman. Herr Krupp, the
great cannon king, who knows the Arch
duke well, has also asserted that he has
FIRE ouently seen him in company of Miss
Husmann, and that several of his employees
have seen the Archduke and Marie leaving
Essen together by train. The only dis
crepaDcy of the different stories is that
some say that the Archduchess Stephanie
had not called on Marie, and that the
violent scene of which we spoke before
had occurred between her and Franz
Ferdinand, and not between her and
Marie. WILLIAM LoDTMANN.

at this spot in the long ago, when the ele-

OF course in those days the sun must
have shone as it does now-just as bright
and just as warm. Most Likely the air was
calm. Perhaps birds sang in the trees and
the whole face OF nature suggested peace
aDd happiness.
Suddenly there was a rumbliug sound
as of distant thunder. Loucer and louder
it grew. Then the ground began to
tremble, then TO shake. What screams
of terror must have rent the air as the in
habitants of bush and forest were driven
from their homes. With the shaking
there was a rising in he whole ridge of
the land. Upward it went. splitting here
and there, while the sounds of thunder
grew louder and louder, until they might
have been heard for hundred miles.
This may have lasted a few minutes-it
may have lasted for days. Then from the
cracks in the face of the earth blasts OF
heat rose and then flames rolled heaven

neither been married to an Arohduke nor
to an adveDturer, ana this ssltled the
matter for the time being
According to private advices Just re-
ceived 1t now appears that the rumor of
the marriage was based on something
more than i9le gossip, Notwithstanding
the repeated dement's which have been
issued from Vienna. Both brothers OF
Miss Husmann have publicly declared
that the alleged letter of their sister had
never been written by that lady, and sew
eral dozen newspapers of Rhenish Prussia
published interviews with the two broi hers
and a number of other people whose
veraclty cannot be questioned. and, ac-
cordlng to these, there can be no dou bt
whatever that an affair between the
Archduke and Miss Husmann did exis:
and that these two persons have gone
away together. That they were actually
married in London has not been ascer.
tained with accuracy, and persons of high
standing have exerted themselves to keen
the matter secret.
According 10 the statement OF Miss
Husmann's Oldest brother who is Catho-
lie priest of high standing and rector of
the diocese of Altendorf, near Essen. in
Rhenish Prussia, the Archduke arrived in
cognito in Essen about two years ago. He
was accompanied by two Russian noble-
men and the trio visited and inspected
The famous gun and armor works of Mr.
Krupp. The three gentle men became ac-
quainted with Miss Husmann at the resi-.
dence of her other brother. who is director
of the iron mine Saelzer, near Essen, and
for whom Marie was kee epinq house at that L
time. The Archduke. who appeared in ci-
vilian clothes, had introduced himself as
DIR. +. Berend and called very frequently
and alone on Miss Husmann. Neither
she nor any of her relatives knew at first
OF the Archdukes identity and the de-
ouement came about ia the following
manner:
The so-caled DR.. Berend asked Miss
Marie one morning whom she supposed
him 10 be. and to the unfeigned as,onish-
ment o: the Archduke the young lady
answered: "Oh, take you to be some
