The Heathens at Washington.

Washington, March 1S.-The faction
al fight between the Chinese of San
Francisco has been temporarily trans
ferred TO Washington by the arrival
here of a party of the See Yups, who
are at present under condemnation,
two to be beheaded and others TO be
imprisoned for life if ever they set foot
on Chinese territory. These unfortu-
mates are among the richest of Chinese
merchants in San Francisco and it is
claimed that their plight is due to the
jealousy of the other faction, known
as the Sam Yups. The party now here
comprises Lee Gazing Chow, Lee Fook,
who has made $500, 900 in the tobacco
trade; Chan See Doom, rice and tea
Wong Shat Shung. whose
fortune is estimated at $500, 600; Loui

CRISIS Is REACHED.
Water Must Go Down or Damage
Will Be Incalculable.

st. Louis, Mo-, March IS.-Alarming
reports of a constant increase in the
volume of water in the lower rivers
are received here. Rain has fallen
over large section of the lower Mis-
sissippi basin for "a hours, and at
many points where levees held back
the food by only a few inches margin,
there will surely be disastrous breaks.
In southwestern Missouri and northern
Arkansas the country is overfiowed
and many lives are reported lost Mem
phis reports a number of deaths by
drowning in the overflow in Arkansas.
The relief committee there reported
that 1,S00 people. many of them ne
groes, had been taken from the Arkan-
sas flats. Six islands north of Mem
phis are only to be located by trees
showing above the water. There have
been prompt responses to appeals for
aid sent out by the Memphis relief
committee. II is feared that the flood
of 1888 will be repeated. This morning
a break was reported at Old Town, IL
miles below Modoc. While this would
entail disaster there, it would mean
the salvation of the country for 200
miles north. A break is also reported
at Bagnalls Landing, Miss, II miles
below Friar's Point. This will surely

Five Persons Drowned.

Memphis, Tenn, March 1S.-The ru-
mored drowning of five persons from a
bridge in Arkansas was confirmed to-
day. The victims were a mother and
four children, the youngest eight
months old.
1t is believed that the vast majority
of imperilled people within reach of
Memphis have now been rescued and
there are nearly 1900 of them here to
be provided for. The Mississippi Val
ley train south was blocked tonight by
300-foot washout a few miles south.
The war department notified Captain
Fitch. United States engineering corps,
today that $4,000 had been assigned to
his order for use in maintaining the
levess of his district.
Reports from levee systems south to-
night are very serious.

English Liberal Party Has Nailed
Home Rule TO the Mast.

London, March 1S-The annual meet
ing of the council of the National Lib
eral Federation was held at Norwich
today. and was presided over by DR..
Robert Spence Watson, who moved the
following resolution:
THAT this council of the National
Liberal Federation, representing more
than 7o0 Liberal associations in En-
gland and Wales. respectfully tenders
its congratulations TO her majesty the
queen, on attaining this, the Goth year
Of her reign, and gratefully recognizes,
with loval appreciation, her -ccnstitu-
tional practice, her erer-ready SYM
pathy, and the gracious influence of
her personal example, and earnestly
hopes that she may long be spared to
witness peace throughout her empire"
An amendment that the proposed al
iteration of the rules be favorably con-
sidered and reported upon by the eX-
ecutive committee was carried.
The annual report was then read,
and President Watson, in moving its
adoption, took occasion to deny that
the question of home rule had been put
into the BACKGROUND. The Liberal
party, he declared, could not go back
They had nailed home rule to the mast.

A TOWN In GLOOM.
ACTIONS OF DAVE PENNINGTON,
WHO WAS CRAZY.
Loads Shotgun and Goes Cunning
For People Against Whom he Had
a Grudge-A Eard Character Who
Finally Suicides.

Odebolt, Iowa, March 18.-This after
noon Dave Pennington, a worthless
character, who has been 1oafng around
Odebolt all winter, loaded a shotgun
and started out to kill a number of
people, who had incurred his enmity.
He fret hunted for A F. Walter,
against whom he had a Crude, but
Walter saw him coming and hid.
Then Pennington went to the house
of Hiram Johnson, a plasterer, and
fired at Mrs. Johnson, seriously wound
ing her in the shoulder and back. He
next emptied both barrels into Luther
Traver, an aged citizen living block
west OF Johnson. killing him instantly.
Then he pointed the gun al Mrs.
Frank Stoll, a neighbOr, who came to
the deer on hearing the noise. She
ran into the doorway, closing the
storm door behizd her. but he fired
through the door, fatally wounding her
in the abdomen. All this TX place
within 10 minutes in a res:uence part
of the town. The LeighboTs gave the
alarm and Pennington retreated slow
iy across some vacant lots, loading his
gun as he went, Constable Fathers
and Marshal Strathcorn close after
him. He called TO Fathers and dared
him TO shoot; then exclaimed:
We'll. if you have not the nerve to
shoot. 1 have. .
Then he placed the muzzle of the
gun TO his forehead and blew the top
Of his head off. scattering brains and
pieces OF skull so feet
Pennington was undoubtedly insane.
He was hard character, but not a
man, and resented comments
that he claimed had been made by his
victims on his relations with a mar
n in oh
lcod. The town is in gloom over the
tragedy. Traver, Stoll and Mrs. John
son were all highly respected people. |
1t is thought that Mr.. Stoll cannot re-
eover, but Mrs. Jol1nson's injuries, |
While severe. are not fatal.

ten-inch rifle at Indian Head today in

The Des Moines Tearing.

Des Moines. Ia, March 1S.-The ice
in the Des Moines river at Fort Dodge
formed a great gorge at the city park
dam there last night and the lower
part of the city and a wide area of
lowland for % miles above the city was
flooded this morning and much damage
done. The dam gave way at o'clock
this afternoon after the water had
risen 16 feet.
A new gorge has formed at Madrid,
so miles farther down, IS miles above
this city.
The report is that it is much worse
than the one at Fort Dodge. The Des
Noines Northern and Western bridge
at High Bridge, one of the most eX-
pensive pieces OF engineering in the
state, is in great danger, and dyna-
mite is being used on the gorge in or
der to break it. Thus far nothing has
been accomplished. The water from
the Fort Dodge gorge is now reaching
the lower dam and the stream is ris-
ing at an appalling rate.

Mr.. John Morley OiberaD asked
whether Greece had been invited to

Lieber, the leader of the Centrists,
made a speech in justification of the
action of the reichstag budget commit

mandS for additional credits for the
construction of new cruisers and tor
pedO boats, and Prince Hohenlohe, the
high imperial chancellor, read report
declaring that the increases in the
navy asked for by the government
were necessary, and that the govern
ment felt sure that the majority of
the members of the reichstag would
concur in this view. What the govern
ment now demanded, the chancellor
said, vas the minimum sum required
to guard the vital interests of Ger
many on sea and land. Prince Hohen-
lohe's remarks expressing confidence
that the majority would concur in his
view. were received with silence, but
his reference to guarding the vital in
