Colonel U. L. Boyce. of Clarke county,
Virginia. He is on his way home from
Philadelphia. The McAleer, that is the
Cleveland faction of the democratic
party in that city, he says, has downod
the Bryan, the straightout faction, but
that that fact makes no difference, as
Philadelphia is joined to its republican
idols, and nothing will induce it TO de-
molish them.
In the Senate to-day Mr.. Wellington
introduced as an amendment to the de-
6ciency bill the Bowman act, providing
for the payment of the claims of many
"loyal citizens" of Virginia, which was
referred to the appropriations commit
| tee.
Ex.Congressman Gaines, of the Pc
tersburg, Virginia, district, is here as an
applicant for the place of U. S. attorney
for the eastern district of Virginia. He
is, however, by no means confident of
success, and says the determination of
the administration to allow the Bow
den Brady faction of the Virginia re-
publicans to dispense the federal pat
ronage in that State will do the party
there no good, but much harm.
That faction, he says, will not only dis
pense all the other federal offices in
their State, but all the postoffices ex.
cept in the 9th and 10th districts, which
have republican, Congressman. There
is no intention of removing the present
U. s. attorney for the eastern district OF
the State, who is goldite, and was ap-
pointed to fill the place of Mr.. Lassiter,
removed for being democrat,
but the assistant attorneyship, it is
said, will be given to Mr.. Coles, of
the Northern Neck, who has the sup.
port of the Bowden faction.
Ex-Congressman Bowen is endorsed
for marshal of the western district OF
Virginia by the two republican con-
gressmen from his State, but the Brown
Brady faction endorse Mr.. Brown AL
len, and Mr.. Dave Bailey, who lives in
the extreme western end OF the district,
wants Mr.. Allen, who lives in the ex-
IRENE eastern end thereof, TO succeed,
as he thinks his chance for the attor-
neyship of that district will thereby be
improved.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
The Floods.

New ORLEANS, La, April 15.-The
river is beating its own record and Is
high enough to frighten the stoutest'
hearted, but there has not been seen 0
single surrender, nor is there is there O
single break in the levee line in Louisi,
ana. Bayou La Fourche Is still the
weakest point, while on the river prop
or the Tensas and fifth levee districts
are regarded as the danger spots. ST.
Joseph, in Tensas, has experienced q
rise of half foot in two days. 1t can
stand two feet, but that figure may be
exceeded at midnight. The levees be-
low, all the way to New Orleans and
half way down to the gulf, are being
raised and strengthened daily and will
be in better shape when the crisis
comes.
KANSAS City, Mo-, April 15.-The
river has risen eight inches since yes.
terday, marking three inches above the
danger line, and is still rising slowly.
The water is beginning to spread out
over the lowlands and the rise there
fore is much slower. The current is
still very swift and huge trees and
other debris in large quantities con-
stantly pass the city. Precautions taken
against q food have in most cases
proven effective and no very serious
damage has beeu occasioned.
OMAHA, Neb., April ia rise OF
three inches in the river and strong
wind from the north may complete the
work of destruction commenced early
in the week by this Missouri.
BARNARD, Mimi, April 15.-The
Missississippi river at this point over
flowed its banks and all the lowlands
on either side is covered with water
from 8 to 10 feet deep. The $4,000, 900
feet of logs at the mouth of Swan river
are broken into the stream and will
come down with rush with the flood.

THE DAWN of the advance in the price
OF railroad tickets is plainly visible
though that of the advance of the pros
perity that was promised as the cock
sure result of the defeat of the demo
cratic ticket last fall, cannot be per
ceived through the finest telescope
But if people can't travel now for lack
of money, how can they do 80 wher
railroad fares shall be higher? The an
nounced rise in such fares is made nee
essary by anti railroad legislation, State
and national.

Thc Eastcrn Situation.

LARIssA, Apl. 15.-There is no truth
in the Turkish reports that the Greek
irregulars have been driven out of Mac
edonia. The main body of the irregu-
lars is continuing its successful opera
tions against the Turks, with the view
of cutting the Turkish lines of commu-
nicstion, getting in the rear of the
Turks and raising the Macedonisns
against the rule of the Sultan. The re-
port of the capture of Kipur by the
Greeks is confirmed and, in addition,
the main forces of the irregulars of the
expeditionary force have advanced as
far as Pigavitza.
LONDON, April ia dispatch from
Constantinople says that in the last en-
counter between the Greek irregulars
and the Turkish regular troops the lat
ter lost 240 killed and wounded. The
Turkish minister, it is announced, has
informed the Sultan that war should be
declared against Greece.

New Laws.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Apl. 15.-The
new laws went into force at midnight
by the Governors proclamation. Chief
interest here attaches to the three cent
street car fare. The Citizens Street
Railroad Company gave no instructions
to conductors and declines to consider
the law until decision is reached in
the federal court where test case is
under argument. On north Indian
apolis Car conductor put young wo
man of the car by force when she de-
clined to pay more than three cents.
Other conductors have accepted three
cents and say they will pay two cents
additional out of their own wages
rather than have row. The law pro-
vides heavy penalty where more than
three cents fare is collected.
