FARGO AFLOAT.

Residence Portion of the City Badly
Flooded-Sidewalks as Rats.
FARGO, N. D., April THE situation
here is appalling. While the Red river
rose only three inches during the night,
the big coulee west Of the city took
q second squirt and went up ID
inches, flooding the entire west side
of the town and driving hundreds of
people from their homes, The water
reaches down to Eighth from Six
teenth street, and as far south of the
Northern Pacific tracks as the eye can
reach. 1t is a popular residence district
and the effect of the flood is forcibly
felt All that part of the city south of
Front street is inundated, six blocks of
Eighth street paving having gone out,
and the flood from the west side of
town is so high that the paving on
West Front street is going out rapidly.
Sidewalks are all afioat and are being
used as RATS upon which families are
moving to dry land.
For the last four hours the river has
risen only an inch and is practically at
a standstill now All along Front
street water is within few inches Of
the floors Of the principal business
houses and rise of another foot would
practically put the entire city afloat.

FIXING THE TARIFF BILL.

Members of the Finance Committee Say
It Will BE Conservative.
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Republican
members of the finance committee were
about the senate and talked with sena-
tors regarding the tariff bill. The COM
mittee expect to report to the senate in
about ten days. No attempt has been
made to make any figures as to revenue
and no changes yet made are perma-
nent. One member of the committee
said the bill was being considered judi
cially and judiciously, when asked if
many reductions were being made.
Another member when asked the same
question said the bill would be con-
sentative. He said the committee was
of the opinion that it was better to
make conservative bill and let the
senate begin its consideration.

BRYAN IN COURT.
Rooms OF tho Federal Supreme Court
Crowded to Hear His Argument.

Rooms or tho Federal Supreme Court
Crowded to Hear His Argument.
WASHINGTON, April THE supreme
court room and the corridors without
were crowded with spectators attracted
by the appearance of Hon. William J.
Bryan as counsel in case. Two lines
of people, many of them ladies, waited
outside Of the door after the court room
had been filed, and when Mr.. Bryan
appeared, at noon, they applauded him.
The case in hearing involved the con-
stitutionality of law of the state Of
Nebraska, enacted April IL, 1898, en-
titled eau act to regulate railroads, to
classify freights, to fix reasonable max
imum rates to be charged for
the transportation of freights,'' etc.
Several railroad companies were ar.
rayed against the state board of trans.
portation, the Union Pacific at their
head, with James G. Carter as chief
counsel It was the contention of the
railroads that the purpose of the legis.
lature was not to fix the maximum
rates to prevent extortion, but to COM
pei the roads to carry goods upon such
terms as the farmers of Nebraska could
afford to pay. The case was appealed
by the state board of transportation
from the United States circuit court
for the district of Nebraska, and Mr..
Bryan was associated with the attorney
general of the state as counsel.
Mr.. Bryan in beginning his argu-
ment, said that it was unfortunate
that there was no established rule by
which the court was to determine what
were reasonable rates. 1t must be pre-
sumed, however, that legislature in
fixing what is held to be reasonable
rates, acted in good faith.
"a railroad u.s. he said, "to a Ger.
tain extent monopoly, and the people
cannot depend on the laws of competi.
ton to protect them from the exactions
of monopoly"
The Basis of Valuation.
In deciding what were reason able
rates, he argued, court must not base
them on the original cost of a road or
on its stocks or bonds, but on it's pres
ent value. Farmers and storekeepers,
whose property fell in value, could not
charge higher rates, not having a mo-
nopoly, not being able to water stocks
and bonds. When he came to discuss
the rights of corporations Mr.. Bryan
became somewhat oratorical. He said
eff few corporations can secure a
monopoly and not be governed by the
same rules as others, then are the peo-
pie the victims of those monopolies. -
''The rights of citizens to reasonable
rates are as sacred as those of railroads
to reasonable profits.
''The court cannot assume that in
dividuals will raise up in their midst a
fictitious individual, a corporate per-
sonage and endow it with rights higher
than those of the creators
In conclusion, he declared that the
people who gave value to road by
using it were as much entitled to con.
sideration as those who build it, else
there was no equality for citizens be.

AFTER THE BUSINESS.

Western Roads May Indulge in Freight
Rate War.
CHICAGO, April THE Western
roads are not so confident of their sue
cess in keeping rates from being de-
moralized as they were some time
back. There is only small amount of
business moving and all of the roads
are after it keenly. There is grow
ing disposition to get the business,
even if some sacrifices have to be made
in order to obtain it and unless the
situation clears up within short time.
1t is almost certain that some of the
roads will be cutting rates and that a
fight will be on all along the line.
