John Adams, who was then ninety years of
age. AS the callers were about TO take
their departure Mr.. Adams inquired as to
the probable outcome of the contest over
the choice of President, which was then
impending in the National House of Repre-

LONDON, May 1.-THE correspondent
of the Daily MALI at Copenhagen
learns from an absolute source that
Count Muravieff. the Russian Foreign
Minister, was formerly a protege OF
the Russian Dowager Empress and
firm supporter of her policy. But While
the Dowager Empress was engaged in
family councils at Copenhagen recently
Count Muravieff improved the opportu-
nifty to make himself master of the sit
uation at st. Petersburg to inaugurate
a policy of his own, which was abso-
lutely against all the principles of the
Dowager Empress and of the Greek
party at Copenhagen.
In her absence from st. petersburg,
Count Muravieff acquired the leading
influence over the Car and persuaded
him to change his views. The DoWager
Empress. on learning of the treachery
of her favOrite, fastened back to st.
Petersburg with the object of doing
battle with Muravieff and of having a
voice in the draft of the Cars speech
to Emperor Francis Joseph at the re-
cent banquet.

HIGH WATER AT ST. LOUIS.
It Covers Tracks, But Railroads Are
Not IncOnYenienCed.

ST. LOUIS, May 2.-The continued
high water has excited a great deal of
Interest, as was evinced by the enormous
crowds that fiocked to the river front to-
day. The river continues to rise, marking
300 feet in the morning and 309o feet
at o'clock in the afternoon. At a
number of places along the levee the
railroad tracks are under water
The Terminal Association, whose
tracks are partly under water express
no uneasiness. One of the officials
stated it would take five feet of water
before all their river tracks would be
submerged and that they had engines
which would work in three feet of water,
therefore it would take a rise of eight
feet beyond the present stage before the
company would be Inconvenience.

fair shape, they have many streams of
water running through them, necessi-
tating a large ditch to be dug on the
outside to carry off the water at Vidalia.
They are being worked on by a large

To be One of Very Important Re-

Vote to be Taken on the Arbitration
Treaty on Wednesday, But There
is Grave Uncertainty as to Its Fate,
1t Looking as if the Vote Will be
ClOse-Tariff Bill rlay be Reported
to the Senate-fiOuSe Programme
COntemplates Adjournments.

WASHINGTON, May 2-The Senate
will resume business in earnest Monday
and the week bids fair to be one of i'm
portant results. According to agree
ment, a vote will be taken on the arbi-
tration treaty on Wednesday. 1t is also
quite probable that the committee va
cances will be filled and that the tariff
bill will be reported to the Senate.
For the rest, Senator Morgan proba-
bly, will call up his Cuban resolution,
sundry civil appropriation bill may be
passed and Senator Hoar has given no.
tice that he will move to have the Com
mittee on Rules discharged from the
further consideration of his amend
ments to the rules for the limitation of
debate.
There is great uncertainty as to the
fate of the treaty and it now looks as if
the margin would not exceed two or
three votes, whatever the result may
be. There are a few unaScertained
votes which will decide the result. A
canvass made yesterday shows forty
votes certain for the treaty and twenty
five certain against it. There will be
considerable sparring over the treaty
before the vote is taken, but prolong-
ed debate is expected.
The consideration of the sundry civil
appropriation bill has been postponed
until Senator Allison, who will have
charge Of it in the Senate, could be
present. If Senator Hoar fulfills his
promise to bring up the question of the
amendment to the rules his motion will
be stubbOrnly resisted by the Demo-
Gratis. Those of them who favor the
changes proposed will not assent to
them on the eve of the tariff fight.
The new Senator from Kentucky,
Hon. w. j. Deboe, probably will be
sworn in tomorrow
The House programme cOntemplates
adjournments for the three days from
Monday a-d Wednesday. Should the
conference report on the Indian appro-
priation bill reach the House it will be
considered. A suggestion to take ac-
ton on the bankruptcy bill passed by
the Senate is being thought over and
may reach some definite shape before
the close of the week.

A SOCIALISTIC PLATFORM.
Considering Independent Political
Action by Union Labor.

DENVER, May "A special to the
News from Victor, Col, says:
A large number of the delegates to the
State labor convention which was in
session here last week, met to-day to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of independent
political action by members of union
labor of the State. A warm discussion
ensued and a committee of two from
each labor organization in the State
was appointed to formulate a plan of
action and report at a meeting to be
held in Denver, July 4th. A permanent
organization was formed, with John c..
CalderwOOd, who was President of the
Miners Union during the great Cripple
Creek strike three years ago, as Presi-
dent.
The plan of action as outlined in the
discussion, will include a socialistic plat
form, either independently or in cOnnec-
ton with one of the old parties. One of
the resolutions adopted by the labor
convention favored occupancy and use
as the only land title.
