but across the river in East st. Louis there
is likely to be trouble. Twenty-eight feet
of water has caused flood there.
In 1891. the river at St. Louis went to a
little over thirty feet. East ST. Louis was
flooded and on this side of the river a dyke
had to be built on North Broadway to keep

"Madame" Becoming Popular.

In some people the sense of the ridiculous
is not ve-y highly developed. ana perhaps.
for their own happiness, it is fortunate it
is not. For when one sees absurdity in
SERIOUS places it requires self-controI to
preserve a proper equanimity that allows
matters to pass as if they had not been.
Now there are some things that affect the
risibles almost before we know il, little
ways which strike this sense of the ridicu-
from the intention of the object of our de-
rision. 1t is not always pleasant to be thus
taken unawares, for one desires to preserve
a grave and dignified exterior, and not to be
deemed i'll bred by undue laughter. Some
thing of this possessed me the other night
when reading programme on which the
name Of an American can appeared with the
so droll in its association that 1t set me
thinking what could be in the mind of a
person who deemed this nom de guerre as
it were. the proper caper under the cir
cumstances.

ARBITRATION TREATY.
Consideration of All Amendments
Only Two Adopted.

Washington, April 1.-The senate to-day,
in executive session. concluded its consid-
Grafton of all amendments to the arbitra-
tion treaty The voting on additional
amendments began at o'clock after three
hours of general debate, and in the hour
and half which followed about a dozen
propositions were passed upon- Two only
were adopted, except some making Verbal
changes. OF those adopted, one, oifered by
Southern states from the operations OF the
treaty, and the other, introduced by Sena-
tor Morgan, eliminates article OF the
treaty. I
Much of the debate of the day turned
upon these amendments. Their supporters
contended that, under the constitution,
state claims could not be made the subject
of negotiation under treaty. The point
was also made that the claims against the
Southern states were contracted during the
period of reconstruction, and were not legit-
innate obligations. 1t was held on the other
hand that, under the amendments already
adopted. it would be impossible to hold the
Southern claims subject to the treaty. Sem
ators Gray and Lindsay presented the lat
ter view.
An interesting incident of the session was
Senator Chandler's refusal TO agree to u
final vote on the treaty to-day. He called
attention to the Associated Press Dispatch
e- in regard to the situation in Crete. and
said that he did not feel disposed to enter
into negotiations with any power whose
guns were trained upon a community OF
Christians struggling to throw on the yoke
of MoSlemism. He also spoke of England S
conduct toward the Beers of the Trans
cause for hesitation in the present neSo-
tiations. He said he would probably. in
the end. vote for the treaty, but that he
was not in the mood for il to-day Sem
ator Hale ridiculed this view as senti-
mental

MAY BE MADE COMMISSIONER OF
INDIAN AFFAIRS.
President Mckinley Anxious to Lo-
cate Him in n Position That VIII
Be Satisfactory-Mr. Bris-
tow and Mr.. Ryan
Sworn Into Office.

Washington, April 1.-(Special0 EX-Del-
egate d. T. Flynn is not in the city to-
day. Where he has gone no one knows
All calls at his house to-day were an
swered by the servant with the indefinite
statement that Mr.. Flynn had gone out OF
town and would not be back until Sunday
or Monday. None OF the members of the
family could be seen. 1t is learned that he
had a very satisfactory interview with
the president at the White House last
night, which lasted several hours, and it
is evident the administration does not IN
tend to punish him for anything happen
ing before the ST. Louis convention. On
the contrary, the general opinion is that
Flynn has received assurances OF a satls-
factory appointment far more lucrative
than the Oklahoma governorship, but un-
der strict injunction TO keep quiet until
the proper time There is much specula-
ton as to the nature of the place, but
nothing definite is known.
Mr.. Flynn told some friends last night,
after leaving the White House, where he
was informed that C. VI. Barnes was TO
be the next governor of Oklahoma, that
he would accept no place in the territory.
1t is surmised, therefore, that he will Sc
cure desirable department appointment
in Washington. 1t is claimed that the re-
port connecting eX-Congressman Picker
with the Indian commissionership was pre-
mature, and there is some talk that Flynn
may be Judge Browning's successor.
1t can be emphatically stated. if these
surmises should prove to be correct, that
Flynn has not been candidate for any
position but the governorship. To secure
that place. he displayed all his accustomed
energy. and several times called at the
White House. The overtures for a COM
promise came from the friends of the pres
ident, and the appointment for last nights
interview came from the president HIM
self. Word was given out early in the
fight that Flynn must be conciliated. He
declined all overtures looking to COM
promise, but it is evident that something
definite was agreed on at last nights con-
ference at the White House.

OF Attorney General McKenna to the

cept the position of attorney general. There
is also. of course, speculation as to the
