WORK IS DIPLOMATIC
Senator WolCott Discusses the
Duties Of the Monetary
Commission.
Looks Forward to a Hard Task,
but Is Very Hopeful
of Success.
Ex-ViCe President Stevenson
Ready to Render All Aid
Possible.

WASHINGTON, April IA. Senator
Wolcott, in speaking Of the recently
appointed monetary commission, said
that there appears to be mistaken
impression that the commission is ap.
pointed with the purpose in view of
having it represent the United States
at a conference only. While the COM
mission might be utilized in that way
if conference should be held, its first
work is to be of q purely diplomatic
character, looking entirely to securing
European cooperation The commits
sion expect to leave this country about
the middle of May and Immediately
upon their arrival in Europe will set
themselves to that task. Whether
there shall be conference at all will
depend upon how the advances of the
commissioners are received by the
principal powers.
Hopeful of Success.
Senator Wolcott is very hopeful of
success. He looks forward to hard
work, but says from what he learned
while abroad he is most sanguine of re.
suits. Senator Walcott believes that
in the selection of the commission, and
especially in naming Mr.. Stevenson, a
silver man, who supported Mr.. Bryan,
President Mckinley has convinced
everybody that he is an earnest BIZ
metallist. Bimetallism at home and
abroad, he says, will be promoted by
this selection.
Opposition to the scheme for interna-
tional bimetallism has developed from
an unexpected source. Morton Ere.
wen of England, who has given great
deal of attention to the subject and
who has visited this country several
times, in the interest of silver, is nov
opposing an international agreement,
and declares that the money question
is one which each nation must settle
for itself

NOTHING BUT WATER
No Land in Sight Along the
Red River for Miles Below
Grand Forks.
The Usually Dry Prairie Nav
igable for a Long Dis
tanCe Inland.
Scores of Families Living In the
Upper Part of Houses
and Barns

GRAND FORKS, N. d., April 15.-The
passengers on the Great Northern
steamer Grand Forks, who have just
returned from trip 40 miles down the
river, report a world of water. No
trouble was experienced in making the
trip. A little ice was floating, but no
gorge was encountered until they
reached Walshville, where they found
solid jam about half mile long.
From the top of the pilot house no
land could be discovered in either di-
rection with good field glass, but a
vast expanse of water stretched away
both to the east and west as far as the
eye could reach. Soundings at various
points showed that the water is from
three to five feet deep over the usually
dry prairies.
Scores of families were found living
in the second stories of their houses
and in many cases in the upper part of
their barns. But more contented lot
of people could not be found, say the
relief committee. Many were almost
out of provisions and their temporary
needs were supplied. They were con-
tent to remain where they were until
the flood subsidized

COMPLIMENT APPRECIATED.
Ex-vice President Stevenson Will Cheer
fully Work for BimetaIIism.

BLOOMINGTON, Ills, April IA. -Ex-
Vice President Stevenson said, when
questioned about his appointment on
the commission for the promotion of
an international agreement:
81 appreciate the compliment paid to
me by the president and will cheer.
fully render what assistance I can to
accomplish the object of the commits
sion. / am bimetallist. Iregard the
restoration of silver to its proper
money function as the supreme ques-
ton in our own country and through
out the world.
"As to the probability of success of
this commission, it is known that the
trend of public sentiment in European
countries, as well as our own, is un-
doubtedly favorable to bimetallism.
Many of the publicists of England
and Germany are in earnest accord
with our government upon this ques.
tion. Should public sentiment in those
countries justify an international con-
ference would undoubtedly be called
and action taken that would be deemed
proper"

SITUATION ACUTE.
Mississippi Below Vicksburg Continues
to Rise Slowly.


MEMPHIS, April 10. The river con-
tinues to slowly rise at Vicksburg and
all points south and the situation along
the Louisiana system of levees is acute.
The waters are being hurled outward
with tremendous force and several
thousand men are working and watch
ing night and day in one grand effort
to hold the embankments intact.
Reports from the overtlowed Missis-
sippi delta are not encouraging Many
well known planters express the fear
that the stream will not recede until
June-too late to plant this years crop.
The work of relieving the flood suf-
ferers with the government funds APP
propriated by congress for that purpose
is progressing smoothly. In the Sec
ond district, extending from Memphis
to Cairo and from Memphis to Helena,
the relief stations have been established
and placed in charge of responsible
men.

WASHINGTON, April l5.-The Popu-

carry motions to adjourn for three
days it will be necessary for the house
to meet every day. Representative
Simpson says that the Populists had
expected the Democrats, as the largest
minority party, to insist upon quo
