TEXAS FLOODS.
Over Three Hundred Families Homeless
at FL Paso-Hundreds of the Pretriess
Residences in the city Inundated.

Over Three Hundred Families Homeless
at Ell Paso-Hundreds of the Pretriest
Residences in the City Inundated.
Ell PAso, Texas, May 90. Over 500
homeless families, or 1900 people were
on the streets of FL Paso, Friday
morning, searching for shelter. Their
furniture, clothing. etc, were piled
up all along the principal thorough
fares of the city. Thursday night the
waters continued to rise and before
day had dawned, had reached
that portion of the city in and
around San Antonio street where
prominent business and professional
men reside. After IL o'clock Friday
night the food swept over six more
blocks. The waters were full of strug-
Cling teams hauling out property from
the flooded houses. The Texas and
Pacific railroad had thrown up dyke
to protect its track near the round
house, and this backed the water
up over San Antonio street,
flooding number of houses and
threatening to cross the street, and
flooded hundreds of the prettiest resi-
dences in the city. Six prominent cit
liens residing in the vicinity, headed
by Collector of Customs Capt. Davis,
armed themselves with Winchesters,
and crossing over the railroad levee,
cut the dyke, letting the backwater
ont. and it began to recede from San
Antonio street.
A troop of the Fifth cavalry from
Fort Bliss came down to the city Fri
day and offered their services to guard
property of homeless people which was
piled in the streets. The city board of
health met Friday morning and ap-
pointed committee of six physicians
to take charge Of relief hospital be-
ing established for the homeless and
sick and the physicians are taking them
to the improvised hospital. Col. Van
Valzah, of Fort Bliss, loaned the
city SO tents and citizens commit
tees were out Friday with wagons
gathering provisions for distribution
among the destitute. At least four
aundred out of the $50 families whose
homes are under water are without
the necessities Of life. Friday morn
ing the city council held meeting au-
thorlzlng the mayor to wire Texas
senators and representatives in con-
gress to secure an appropriation of
$40, 900 for relief of the food victims.
The war department has also been APP
pealed to for more tents.
Friday afternoon the river was at a
standstil, but rise of one foot is re-
ported up the river in New Mexico
The flood waters in Ell Paso and East
Eel Paso cover an area averaging four
miles long and three-quarters Of a
mile wide, flooding not less than
roo homes, most of which belonged
to the poor laboring classes. The
east side of Stanton street, from
Overland to Seventh street, is
a continuous pile of ruin. The houses
having been built close together on
adobe foundations were undermined
and have tum bled down. Many peo-
pie living in houses where the water is
up to the doors refuse to move out
and these people will have trouble if
the rise reported above reaches Ell
Paso.

THE GRAND ARMY CAMPFIRE.

The Geo. Ii. Lega te Post held 1t
annual camp fire on New Years eve,
at it's hall. 1t was largely attended,
and the interest in them seems to
grow with coming years 1t may DE
because there comes realization that
the time is short and soon there will
be no veterans for such gatherings.
The program was quite fully carried
out. The Hoare Brothers and the
plee club sang to the delight OF scores
of the audience. The drum solos Of
CAPTAIN Princell were something won
dcrful. How he could make the drum
talk, and represent battle scenes, and
act in the way that he did is beyond
our power of explanation. 1t only
shows that after all, the drum is some.
thing more than an instrument Of
empty sound in the hands Of such
II master.
The rotations Of little Miss scott
Of Darlington, and Mrs. Captain Mar
tin showed that the dramatic art did
not suffer in the presentation Of Their
subject.
The speech Of the evening was that
OF COL Gray; and while it covered Il
great deal Of sound, and was more Of
an informal talk than II logically con,
structed Grafton, yet 1t contained very
many good and sensible things cor
Gray has Travelled so much that he can
take broad, comprehensive and pa
triOtic view OF the situation growing
out of the great war; and 1t would
have been better for the country II his
views could have guided party action
TO large extent in the past. Stories
well told in illustrating points, refer
enccs to the passing changes, aud II
glowing and just tribute to woman
kind, and the noble work OF their Corps,
were all well received, and applaudrd.
Evidently the Colonel has no parlic.
ular love for the new woman. She is
not the kind that runs w0man's rclct

A Joint committee arc revising the
rules for the government OF the WIS
consin legislature, and will report Mt
the opening Of the session Of 1890 /.
The object Of the proposed revision is,
to moro closely harmoni2c the practice
In the senate and assembly, and to
simplify the work Of the Legislature
in general. One important change
concerning the manner of enacttng
laws in Wisconsin ought to be made
through constitutional amendment.
There should be applied to measures
of all kinds, Whatsoever some such
requirement ~ contained in section
eight Of article eight of tho state con
stitution, which now applies only to
what may be termed money measures,
The section referred to reads rs follows /,
Section S. On the passage in either
house of the Legislature, of any Jaw
which imposes, continues or reneW3 u
tax, or creates II debt, or charge, or
makes, continues or renews an appro-
printlon of public, or trust money, or
releases, discharges, or commntes u
claim, or demand Of the state, the
question shall bc taken by Yeas and
nays, which shall be duly entered on
tho journal; and three lilths Of all
the members elected to such house
shall, In all such cases be required to
constitute quorum therein.
There aro many measures of vastly
moro Importance than those which
simply involve II matter Of dollars
and cents; and there Is no good rea-
son why they should be less strictly
guarded. The change which we suE
gest would impress every member
with u greater sense Of individual re-
sponsiblity In all measures under con
sideration; and would causo closer
scrutiny into the merits and dement's
of all bills coming MP for passage,
II would lessen the danger Of the en-
actment of unwisc Legislation, to
prevent which is n very important
duty. And the change should be
made through II constitutional amend
ment, 30 rs TO prevent the passage OF
measures under suspension OF the
rules Il very fruitful source Of mis-.

rected to cooperate with the agents
or attorneys of claimants: to advise
as to the legality of claims, and so
far IL possible, to secure speedy and
Just action upon all claims pending.
1t is also his duty to give advice in
cases in which other attorneys are
employed.
The reason many cases are filed at
Washington and other remote points
must be that these things are not
generally known. The evidence in
these cases must be obtained in Wis
cOnsin. The records of Wisconsin
soldiers in the Adiutaut Generals Of
flee are accessible. for the most part
complete. The cost of prosecuting Il
claim by this Office is nothing. The
Pension Bureau gives more ready at
tentiOn to claims filed by the Adiu-
tant General of Wisconsin than to
those prosecuted solely for the fee.
Many pensioners who have been
dropped from the rolls during the
past three years should apply for
restoration.
Blanks will be furnished to all who
desire to prosecute any claim through
this Office. applying orblanks III
