THE PARADE FORMATION.
The grand marshal entrusted with the
direction OF tn-days pageant was Gene
raj Horace Porter, formerly OF the staff
al General Grant. His organizing skill
had been tested In peace. as we'll as in
war, notably In the conduct Of the great
sound. money" procession through the
narrow and tortuouS streets or New
York City last October during the Pres!-
dental campaign. With the broad ave-
nues and smooth asphn'ied streets of
Washington, General Porter had. fun
opportunities to display his genius for
controlling the movements of large
bodies Of men. and he awaited himself
OF them.

THE REFORM cLUs DINNER.

cx-Prcsident Cleveland. s1-seeRetary Car lisle and Others Resp0nd to focsts.
 NEW YORK, April 28.-Five hundred guests sat down to the annual dinner
 of the Reform club at the Waldorf Saturday night and cheered to the echo sentiments from the lips of sound
 money and tariff reform democrats. The utmost enthusiasm prevailed and long-continued aplause greeted the ap- pearance of ex-President Cleveland, the first speaker of the evening, who responded to the toast Present Problems in lengthy speech. He
 said among other things:
 On every side we are confronted with popular depression and complaint These are largely due to causes of natural and certain recurrence, as the inevitable accompaniment of all human endeavor, and perhaps they are as largely due to the work of agitators and demagogues who have busily sowed the seeds of discontent In order that in the harvest they may reap per- sonal advantage
 Let true democrats meet the passion and bit- terness of their former associates who have as- stunned the leadership of anti-democrstic wan- derngs with firm approximations. reminding them that democractic convictions and dem- ocratic conscience cannot be forced to follow
 
 the same time entreat them in the name of hon. orable political comradeship and in the mem- ory of glorious victories won by united dem- ocracy. to turn from the way that leads to party defeat and destruction.
 Ex-Secretary John c. Carlisle re- sponded to the toast "Sound Currency" saying:
 In my opinion the offcial agitation now going on in favor of an international monetary con- ference Is rot merely useless, but harmful in
 the highest degree to all great interests dependent upon permanent and proper adjustment of our currency system No partisan considerations, no vain hope of holding together incongruous political ele- ments or diminishing the demands of silver monometallists. can at a time like this justify or even excuse persistence in movement
 which the whole world knows is a mere pre- | tense, but which is nevertheless distinct and dangerous concession to the theory of free coin age and fatism, and is, for that reason if for no other, injurious to the cause of sound money and to ail the material interests of the country Ex-Postmaster-Gene William l..
 Wilson, responding to the toast Tariff Reform" said among other things: Gentlemen. tarin reform is not lost cause. | It can never be dead or e minor issue in the presence of measure whose certain effect will be to lessen the productive power of the Amer lean people, to make unjust distribution Of the wealth and prosperity which all labor to achieve and which each should share in pro- portion to the effectiveness of his labor. w. D. Bynum, of Indiana. responded to the toast of ''The National Democ- racy." Senator Caffery, of Louisiana, and several other leading democrats also made speeches.

FLOODS IN THE WEST.

Many Buildings Washed Away, Railroad
 Traffic Impeded and Stock Drowned.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 26.-Special dispatches tend to show that the ter ritory including portions of Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa experienced the heaviest rainstorms in their history between midnight and morning Sum day. In northern Kansas more rain fell within six hours than often falls in six months. Many small buildings were washed away and there was actual fear that entire towns would be swept off into the swelling streams. The rise of the water in parts of Nebraska was so rapid that people sleeping in the first stories of their homes narrowly escaped drown ing in their beds. They were com pelled to take refuge in the upper stories and on the roofs, and in many instances, rescuers, with boats, took half-dressed people from trees, into which they had climbed in their forced retreat.
 A telegram from Topeka, Kan, says: The Raw river at this point is higher than it has been for the past eight years, and it is still rising at the rate of two inches an hour. Reports from central Kansas indicate that the rise will continue for 24 hours or perhaps longer. Driftwood is coming down the river in great quantities. Much of it has lodged against the street rail- way bridge on Kansas avenue, and fears are entertained fer the safety of the structure.
 From Manhattan, Kan, comes the word that farmers in that and neigh boring counties lost considerable stock by the overflow of local streams. Ninety-five head of hogs belonging to farmer on Mcintyre creek were washed away.
 At Ottumwa, Ia., the river broke over the levees and flooded the bottoms, carrying several houses down stream. In some places the water is above the first story of the houses. One Burling- ton main track is impossible and hun dreds of men are at work attempting to prevent damage to the other line.
 As result of the heavy. storm and consequent rise of the Blue river at Beatrice, Neb., 200 houses were flooded and 1, 100 people were driven from their homes. All of them were provided with food, clothing and lodging.

This would afford national maximum rate schedule. It would give it also com plete authority to regulate common carriers by granting it power to refuse assent to pooling contracts where the rates were not fair and equitable.

Gen. Mile. to vl.l. the Seat of War.

WASHINGTON, April 28.-Gen. Miles has been notified of the presidents ap. proval of his projected visit to the seat of war in Europe. He will leave Wash- ington early in May, probably taking passage on the St. Paul from New York. At Paris, the general will board the Oriental express and go through without stop to Constantinople. His future movement will depend entirely upon the progress of the war but 1t is his intention to keep as near as possi- ble to the scene of actual hostilities so that he may be in either camp.

TO "EQUALIZE" JUSTICE.

Gov. Leedy, of Kansas, Says the Law Is
 Moro Severe on Petty Offenders Than Big
 Ones.
 TOPEKA, Kan, April e4.-Gov. John w. Leedy is out with brand new re- form. He says that the criminal laws of Kansas are discriminative; that the penalty for trivial offenses often is more severe than for great crimes; that the unfortunate who steals to prevent starvation often is given a harder sentence than is the man who robs whole communities as bank cashier. He proposes as a remedy to examine the records of the prisoners in the state penitentiary, and by the ex- ercise of the pardoning power to make the punishment fit the crime" The governor left for Lansing yesterday for this purpose.
