driftwood are sucked into the break
and sent far inland. Many houses
which once stood upon the Arlkansas
shore will eventually be found located
several miles from the shore ON the
Mississippi side.
THREE MEN DROWNED.
Harvey Klemmer and two sons, who
attempted to save some stock, were
overturned in their boat and drowned.
1t is also reported that Mrs. John Mar
shall and son, who were alone In .
little hut two miles from the break,
were unable to escape and were
drowned. It is almost certain that
others are drowned.
The awful calamity so much dreaded
is at hand. The entire Mississippi side
is sure to be inundated. The delta
country will be filled with water and
the extent of the damage will never be
definitely known.
Excitement runs high among the in
habitants living below the break, and
they are bending every energy to get
out Of the reach Of the water with
their belongings. Woe and desolation
are to reign in the fertile Mississippi
plantations along the river.

NOT ENOUGH VOTES.
Straight Republicans Haven't Con-
troll of the Senate.
ACTION lookIMG TO REORGANIZATION.
Senator Allison Explained the Situation to
the Caucus, and Several Senators
Made Short Speeches Before
the Assembled Caucus

WASHINGTON. March S0.-The repub
licans Of the senate put into motion
machinery looking to the reorganiza'
tion of the senate so far as the commit
tee vacancies were concerned.
The caucus was called for ten O'Clock
and was pro mptly attended by almost
every one of the straight republicans
of the body. Adjournment was not
taken until 1880. >
Senator ALI son, chairman Of the
caucus committee, made an elaborate
report, in which he told of the troubles
that had confronted and which stood in
the way of the committee. Many con-
ferences had been had with the demo-
cratic sterring committee. and at no
time were the members of that com.
mittee, and particularly Mr.. German,
its chairman, willing to admit
that there was any changed
condition in the republican party
since the senate committees had
been reorganized by the republicans.
The democrats insisted, said Mr.. Alli-
son. that they should have the same
number of men on the committees that
they had under previous committees
and declined to permit the republicans
to take an additional number sufficient
to out vote the silver republicans who
had bolted the St Louis convention,
and who were now members OF the
committee if they continued with the
democrats.
Short speeches were made by Sena-
tors Hale. Gallinger, Wolcott, Wilson
and Others. The only new member
who spoke was Senator Mason, of llli-
nois. He contended that the new sem
ators We're entitled to committee as
signments, and that the effort should
be made to place them. If the effort
was futile no blame could be attached
to the straight republicans They
would at least have made an effort,
and more than that the new senators
could not ask: that much, however. he
said, they were entitled to.
Mr.. Allison stated that the situation
had been carefully canvassed, and
while sufficient votes to pass the neces-
sary resolution were not now in sight,
he said that the committee hoped with
in very short time to be able to say
that the votes were at hand that would
give the republicans the absolute con-
troll of the membership of the commit
tees.
The result OF the discussion, which
was of decidedly varied and somewhat
nebulous character. was a resolution
instructing Chairman Allison to ap-
point committee on committees,
which will assign the republicans to
the various committees on the basis
insisted upon by the republicans. This
will at least put the machinery in
motion and force the fighting to 3
finish.

Corbett Starts on a Campaign for Another
Battle.
SAN Francisco. March 3O.-Jim Cor
bett, the ex-champion heavyweight
pugilist of the world, left this city
Monday evening with his trainer, Nc
Vey, for Salt Lake City, where he is
booked to give IN exhibition on
Wednesday evening.
Champion Fitzsimmons will also give
an exhibition in Salt Lake City on the
same evening, and the sporting people
are anxious to see how the fighters
will draw. Some small bets have
been made that Corbett will attract
larger crowd than the champion.
The Californian says that he will
try and exhibit in every town and
city that his successful opponent will
appear in on his journey through the
states to New York.
Corbett says that he will keep after
Fitzsimmons until the champion will
afford him another opportunity to
either win back his lost laurels or 90
down whipped man for the second
and last time.

FOREIGN RELATIONS.

MATTERS OF INTEREST MADE PUBLIC.
There Are Many Things, in Our Relations

Come Into the Peoples Hands
Until So Published.

WASHINGTON, March so.-The annual
volume Of foreign relations giving the
diplomatic correspondence Of the state
department for the past year which is
now almost ready for publication, de-
votes 1000 pages to the exceptionally-
interesting International matters which
characterized the close of the last ad-
ministration, chief among them being
the negotiations with Great Britain and
Spain. .rq "a
The Il pages devoted to Austria
Hungary relates to the successful ef.
forts Of Ambassador Tripp to secure
the exemption from military service of
naturalized Americans. with the result
that cases Of this character have be-
come quite infrequent. Ng
In the 6s pages given to China, the
method pursued by Minister DENLY in
securing settlement Of claims growing
out of riots against missionaries is fully
set forth, constituting valuable pre-
cedents for future cases Of similar COM
plexity. y5s$ i & ,@ .,i,@
The arbitration and award in the
Santos claim against Ecuador is given
at length.
A large portion Of the 50 pages al
lotted to France shows the interest
manifested by the United States in Sc
curing full protection Of American
rights in Madagascar in connection
with the transfer of that island to the
French flag.
In Germany's 70 pages a number of
important questions are treated, nota-
bly, that relating to the tonnage dues,
which led to exceedingly spicy corre-
spondence as we'll. The exclusion of
American life insurance from German
companies is also dealt with.
Considerable interchange of letters
was required to establish the fact that
Germany could not undertake to carry
home insane German sailors deserting
in United States ports. In the course
Of several instructions to Mr. Uhl, Sec
retary Olney rulted in effect that q
naturalized American citizen who re-
turned to Bavaria and established
permanent domicile as re-
tired gentleman had abandoned
his American citizenship and his
children had forfeited any right
to United States protection, that the
voluntary surrender Of passports ex.
patriated such a person; that the pass
ports Of an American who had resumed
his German allegiance could be de-
manded, and that the Bancroft treaties
were applicable to Alsace and Lor.

A WRITER in an English weekly
draws attention to the superiority OF
French over English laws in the case
OF drunkards and spendthrifts. In En-
gland, as in this country, a man may
pursue the most reckless courses and
dissipate not only his own property
but that of those dependent on him,
while the ones interested can obtain
no help from the law. In France the
spendthrift who endangers the we'll be.
ing of his family finds himself face ia
face with the family council" which il
armed with full legal powers to put
him on an appropriate allowance aud
