MEMORIAL DAY.
Imposing Ceremonies Held at Arling-
ton Cemetery.

WASHINGTON, May 31-Memorial
Day was generally observed at Wash
ington. The Senate adjourned over the
day and the House held only fifteen
minute session. All the departments
and the business houses were closed
and the day given up to patriotic OBJ
servance and tributes to the heroic
dead.
The most imposing ceremonies were
at the National Cemetery at Arlington
on the Virginia side of the Potomac
The exercises were made particularly
memorable by the presence of President
Mckinley.
They began at II o'clock with a ma
tional salute of twenty-one guns from
the light battery, Forty-eighth Artil-
lery, L. S. A. Led by the Marine Band,
the G. A r., and other organizations
marched to the tomb of the unknown
dead, where the band played a dirge
while the massive monument was being
decorated. The graves of all the vast
army beneath the trees received their
tributes of flowers.
The organizations afterwards gath
cred at the amphitheater. where Repre-
sentative Dolfver of Iowa delivered the
oration of the day. A poem was read
by DR.. Thomas Calver, and Hon Web
ster Davis. Assistant Secretary of the
Interior. followed with an oration. The
exercises concluded with Beethoven's 5

THE TARIFF BILL.
A Feeling of lmpatience Awaiting the
Delay in Its Passage.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Secretary
Gage has returned to this city from
Cincinnati, where he was guest at the
banquet given last Friday by the Com
mercial Club of the city, to the visiting
clubs from Chicago, Boston and ST.
Louis.
Mr. Gage said to-day that a feeling of
impatience seemed to be general among
the people at the delay in the passing
of a tariff bill. The country was in
condition approaching stagnation,
and although the public realize that the
greatest care is necessary in the exc
cution of a bill, they were beginning to
complain of the time being consumed.
What they most wanted was the
prompt passing of a tariff bill that
would produce sufficient revenues, and
with the question out of the way the
Government could talk upon the ques-
ton of the reform of currency. The
business men in attendance on the Gin
cinnati meeting were agreed that a
currency commission should be author
lied and appointed a. once, with a view
to the reformation plan which would be
presented to Congress in December.
During the recess of Congress it was
thought that hearings could be and
should be given to those who might de-
sire to be heard from all parts of the
country. 1t was a great question, he
added and should have the fullest dis
cussion. If the commission should fail
to agree upon a satisfactory plan, the
administration very likely would have
a proposition to present to Congress. In
any event, the people with whom the
Secretary conferred agreed that some
action should be taken at once. The
business of the country impatiently de-
manded it, he concluded.
CHICAGO, May 31.--The Posts
Washington special says: The Demo-
cratic members of the House Ways and
Means Committee are formulating a
sugar schedule which they will offer as
substitute for all pending PROPOSE
tions in that line. 1t will be antitrust.
and the gentlemen who are engaged in
its construction claim that it will give
quite as much. if not more, protection
to home producers than either the
Dingley or the Aldrich schedules and
at the same time enable consumers to
supply their demands cheapy They
decline, however, to go into particulars.

FLOOD IN LOUISIANA.
The Crevasse in the Mississippi Near
Baton Rouge Widening.

BATON ROUGE Ga.), May s31.-A.
$40 this morning the crevasse at Con-
RAIDS Point, below this city, widened to
300 feet and the lower end has not yet
been secured. Trains on the Mississ-
ippi Valley railway have been discon-
tinued. Crevasse water is within three
miles of Baton Rouge
The crevasse was the direct result of
relaxation of vigilance and occurred at
6 o'clock yesterday morning in the Ievee
at Conrad's Point, four miles by rail
below Baton Rouge, on the east side of
the Mississippi River. AT O'Clock in
formation was received at Baton Rouge
that the levee at Conrads sugar house
was leaking badly and that a crevasse
was likely to occur at any moment.
There had been a feeling of almost
perfect security throughout that sec
ton. There were no laborers within
call, as they had all been discharged
and sent to their homes. The levee au-
thorities at Baton Rouge hastily gath
cred together a force of men and placed
them on barges of material which hap
pened to be anchored along the front of
the Burton sawmill. and by o'clock
a tug was towing the barges of men
and material to the scene of danger.
AT 6 o'clock, shortly before the barges
arrived at the plantation, the levee
burst with a loud report and the water
in stream forty feet wide and seven
feet deep, began pouring through the
break and spreading rapidly over the
fertile lands in the vicinity.
The officials of the Pontchartrain
levee district and of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad are on hand with large
forces of men and unlimited supplies of
material, but the developments to-day
show that the water has got beyond
control

side. The father Of Almighty Voice is
under arrest here as an accomplice. No
further trouble is anticipated
HELENA (Mont.), May 31.-Excite-
ment continues at the Cheyenne reser-
walton and settlements in that vicinity.
Ranchmen of the Upper Rosebud
have all deserted their homes. Six
companies of soldiers from Fort Keogh
and Custer are en- route to the agency,
as is also the Sheriff of Custer County,
with large number of deputies.
The Sheriff has a warrant for the
arrest of Indian Agent Stouch, charged
with interfering with officers in the dis
charge of their duties, and also for
three Indian murderers.
The Sheriff will probably arrive at
the reservation with his deputies to-
morrow and endeavor to arrest the
murderers, who are sheep herders.
Many are of the opinion that the Sc
robustness of the situation has. been
much exaggerated.

CYCLE RACES AT CHICAGO.
Two Hundred Thousand People Wit
ness the Events.

CHICAGO, May 31.-W. D. Smedley
Chicago road race.
The race was over the course used
last year, being a few yards under
twenty-five miles. The weather was
almost perfect. The wind was directly
in the backs of the racers. The time
made last year by F. B. Murphy was
one hour, nine minutes and twenty-five
seconds There were 1876 entries to-day
and about 300 started.
Smedley, the winner is 81 years old.
He was a ffteen-minute man. He
trained only one week. He was given
the limit handicap, fifteen minutes and
was never headed. He had a fall at
Niles, about halfway, but was quickly
on his way again. Smedley rode last
year. finishing in twenty-first place.
The time prize lies between Captain
James Levy, of the Chicago Cycling
Club unofficial time one hour, four
minutes and three-fifths of second),
and Harry O'Brien of the Lakeview
and Clarendon Clubs.
E. c. Sickle of the Morgan Park
Club, second; w. Roeader, of the Calu-
NETS, third. Time, winner-1:07 1-5.
The time winner was not announced.
Levy, who was looked on as the Win
ner, has protested several riders for al
legged foul riding and repetition of last
years controversy seems probable. The
official time of w. E. Smedley, the dis
tance winner, is one hour seven min
utes, 2-5 seconds. The finish, which
was rather tame, was witnessed by an
immense throng, both sides of the
course from Logan Square through the
parks to the finish, being almost a SOL
Id mass of people. it is estimated that
100000 people witnessed the race.

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.
Call Issued for a National Convention
at Detroit.

CINCINNATI, May 31.-President d.
D. Woodmansee and Secretary Major
Bowling have issued a call for the
tenth annual convention of the Nation
al Republican League at Detroit July
18th. Each State and Territorial
League is entitled to four delegates
from each Congressional District and
six delegates at large. The business of
the convention includes reports from
retiring officers, the election of officers,
the designation of the time and place
for the next national convention, con-
sideration of amendments to the con-
stitution and a decision of plan for club
work and organization.
There will be an evening mass meet
ing addressed by Republican leaders on
national affairs. The call saws:
This convention will be the tenth an
niversary of the formation of the Ma
tional Republican League, and it will
be celebrated by reception in honor
of the ex-Presidents of the league, all
of whom will be in attendance. We
cannot estimate the Importance of this
convention to the Republican party.
Our victory of last year does not guar
antee Dermanency of power. We must
keep our organization well equipped for
the contest of 1898, when we will again
vote aor members of Congress. In
many of our State elections this year
the terms of the members of the
United States Senate are at stake. and
as our majority in that body can be
barely seen by a close observer. it
behooves US to fortify ourselves against
the enemy. Let us come together in
large numbers at Detroit for the pur-
pose of reviving and enlarging our DO
lftical enthusiasm, so that we may re-
turn to cur homes better qualified to
defend Republican principles and bet
ter able to carry out the purposes of
the league"
