that he himself knows as yet as little

Helena Is Still Safe.

HELENA, Ark, March 24.-The river has
been on a stand here since last night. the
gauge registering 49.5 feet tonight. The
observer says the situation is bad for the
country generally, but Helena is perfectly
safe, i'm his opinion. A new break in the
Modoc levec caused the river to fall about
Westover yesterday. which checked the rise
here. The fall at Memphis had its effect
here to check the rise, but the fall there Is
from breaks in the levee up about Osceola
and the water will come back here about
next week or later. He still thinks the
water will go to fifty feet or over unless
the levee breaks in Mississippi. Captain
Cheek, of the Kate Adams, says Laconia
Circle is all dry, but backwater is rising
rapidly and they cannot stand much more.
The steamer Maud came up this morning
from Modoc with six families, con-
sisting of about thirty people. with
household goods they had saved and
twenty-five lead of horses and mules.
These people are mostly in good circum-
stances and only need shelter, which the
committee was able to furnish. The white
people rescued and brought here will be
given tents on the government rounds,
north of the federal building. and the ne
groes will be camped on the hillside. The

turned with a large barge, which will con-

SPEECH.
Vigorous Arrnignment of the Present
DeGcit-Creating Tariff Law.

Mr.. Grosvenor rep. Ohio.) was then rec
ognized. The Republicans gave him a cor
dial reception. He began by referring to
the necessity of speedy action in the matter
of tariff legislation. going over the ground
relating. as he expressed il. to the bank
ruptcy of the treasury the enormous ex-
penGitures in excess of the receipts of the
government and the undesirability of Dor
rowing money in time of peace to carry on
the government. He drew a parallel be-
tween the condition OF the country on the
1st of November. 1892. which he declared
TO be one of unparalleled prosperity. and on
the LIST of November, 1896. when enterprise
was "at a "standstill. with doubt. fear. I'M
certainty everywhere"
He declared that this great calamity had
come upon the country substantially by
reason of the single act of a Democratic
Congress. the repeal of the Mckinley law.
1t was the Mckinley law misrepresented
and misunderstood that aided our over
throw in 1892: but it was the Mckinley law
with the blessings we received from it dur
ing its short life that became the tails
manic word that swept Mckinley into nom
lnation and carried the country in 1896.
Thus il was that the discarded Mckinley
law of 1894 became the battle-cry of a trf-
umphant people in 1896. and the stone which
the Democratic leaders refused has become

Mr.. Williams (Dem.. Mississippi devoted
his attention to- exposing the alleged incon-
sistencies in the Republican argument He
said 1t was absurd TO charge the present
depression to the invasion of the home
market by foreign goods when the treasury
figures showed that the last year the i'm
portations were less by $3.50. 600. 600 than in
the last year of the Mckinley law. itself a
year of restricted importations. He con-
tended that the existing era of depression
and low prices was due TO the appreciating
value of money under the gold standard.

dressed himself to the proposition that if
the anticipations of the majority were

most reckless and profligate extravaganza.
Mr.. Johnson Rep.. North Dakota). a
member of the ways and means
was then recognized for an hour. He di-
rected his attention chiefly to a eulogy OF
the prospective benefits which would fol-
low the enactment of the agricultural
schedule of the bill. He was met by a
fusillade of questions from the Democrats
and PopuIists. The Old controversy as to
whether the foreigner or consumer paid the
tax was fought over with great pertin~city.
Mr.. Johnson, of course. taking the view
that the foreigner substantially paid it and
his adversaries that il was paid by the con-
sumner. When the Wilson bill was under
consideration Mr.. Johnson said he predicted
that its passage would be fatal 10 the sheep
industry. In reply to a question Mr.. john
son declared if the people OF the South
would pledge their loyalty to the doctrine of
protection the Republican party would be
glad to accord 10 cotton the same protec-
tion given 30 wheat. corn, potatoes and
other agricultural products OF the North.

ST. LOUIS. March 24.-Danger from flood
is threatening points above here on the
Illinois, Missouri and upper Mississippi
rivers. which are rising rapidly. No dam
age has yet been done. but the water is
approaching the danger line in many places.
Farmers along the rivers named are pre-
pairing to move their families, stock and
household effects. The dyke at Pekin, ILL.,.
is threatened with destruction. Alton, ILL.,.
reports a serious situation owing TO the
rush of water from the Illinois and back
water from the Missouri AT Quincy, ILL.,.
the danger line is fourteen feet, and the
river Is up twelve feet and rising. AT Keo-
kuk. Ia, there has been a big rise i'm the
Mississippi river during the past thirty
six hours. This is partly due TO backwater
from the Dies Moines.
The river at st. Louis and above will con-
tinue to rise slowly according to the
t~wenty-four hours the rise has been nine
tenths of a foot at St. Louis. At other
points above the following rises are re-
corded: Davenport. four-tenths: Keokuk.
eight-tenths: Hannibal, six-tenths; Boone

The Bill as an Outrageous
Attempt at Legislative


FIR. McMilin (Dem., Tenn who followed
Mr.. Johnson, was given a round of APP
plause by his Democratic colleagues as he
took the floor. He was very severe in de-

part: You will search in vain for free
sugar in this bill, or anything else free
which benefits the American people. All
the d~emagogic cry of a free breakfast
table has had to be abandoned The Demo-
cratic party can at least boast that il has
accomplished something by preventing the
pernicious principle from being permanent

taxation and government. But what be-
comes of all these fervent utterances which

What has become of the laudation of free
sugar by the cohorts of protection and the
advocates of bounties? / remember how

listers 36.s feet. The bureau predicts that
for the next twenty-four hours the river
will remain about stationary. The fact that
the river continues to rise at Cairo is suff-
cient evidence that no considerable fall may
be expected in the immediate future.
The situation regarding the flood remains
practically unchanged since yesterday. The
fact that the levees below the city on the
Mississippi side still remain intact and the
good news that they will probably be able
to withstand any further rise is calculated
to make the outlook more and more cheer
ing. The dispatches giving the good news
concerning the conditions of the levees be-
low this city may be relied on as authentic,
being received by the railroad officials from
their agents at various points. In addition
to these there is a message from Major
Dabney confirming the good news. he him.

ton of the system of levees below Memphis

The work Of the relief committee con-
tinues without any abatement. The commit
tee is kept busy providing for the wants of
the 5000 destitute people who are here de-
pendent upon charity. Nor has the stream
of newcomers ceased. While the relief boats
do not make as many trips as they did
during the first few days following the
overflow, nor do they bring as many refu-
gees at each trip they always bring some
additions to swell the crowd of refugees.
The continued fair weather is most favor
able and each day of sunshine is welcomed
as a harbinger of good tidIngs TO the ex-
tent that with no untoward rainfallS TO
swell the mighty volume of waters the end

News has been received by United States
Engineer Fitch that the levee on the Ar
kansas side has broken in two places be-
low Memphis. one at Dawson, which is
about 1873 miles below Memphis, and one
not far below Modoc. The report concerning
these breaks seems authentic, as Engineer
Fitch has acted upon them with prompt
ness. He has sent a boat with barges and
skiffs for the assistance of the people In
the country affected by these breaks. The
details concerning the break at Dawson
are meager. The break near Modoc was not
unexpected as the levee seems to be weak
in that vicinity, several breaks having al
ready occurred in spite of every effort to
prevent such disasters.
