AN OFFICIAL REPORT.

Greatest Strain on Levees Below yicks-
burg Yet to Come.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-Mr. Willis
L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau,
has issued special river bulletin in
which he says:
The river at Vicksburg will probably
begin to rise again when the water
from the crevasses returns through the
Yazoo, but the rise from Vicksburg to
the mouth is likely to continue indefi-
nitely The greatest strain on the
levee below Vicksburg is yet to come,
and residents of districts formerly over
flowed should heed the warnings pre-
viously given by the weather bureau
and remove persons and property to
places of safety.
The Mississippi has risen throughout
its entire length, except stationary at
Memphis, and slight fall from Arkan-
sas City to Vicksburg, in the vicinity
of the crevasses. 1t is above the dan
ger line at ST. Paul and La Crosse,
and nearing the danger line from Keo-
kuk to st. Louis. Ample warning of
the threatened foods in the latter dis
trict was sent to cities and residents
along the river from the weather bu.
reau office at st. Louis.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The foreign

bill with great care, as it materially
affects all commercial nations. Reports
are being forwarded to the various for
eign offices, and these in turn are be.
ing made public abroad for the infor-
nation of concerns shipping to the
United States Naturally, the feeling
among the diplomats is not favorable
to the measure, as it will restrict many
of the lines of foreign trade with
this country. Among the representa-.
tives of the larger countries the ex-
preston is general that there will be
large decrease in imports and that this
in turn will be followed by an in.
crease of duties against American
goods. The representative nations
which are most concerned with reci.
procity do not regard the reciprocity
features of the present bill with favor.
Without exception, however, members
of the diplomatic corps are refraining
from exerting any influence toward
keeping down the duties

be proposed in the present situation
would be blocked by single objection,

might be made. This would necessi.
tate a special order from the commit.

WILL Be A QUIET WEEK
Congress Will Not Be Busy
and the Daily Sessions
Will Be Short.
Bankruptcy and Appropriation
Bills Will Occupy Sem
ate'S Time.
House Will Pursue a Waiting
Policy and Meet Only to
Adjourn.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The bank.
ruptcy bill will be given first place in
the senate programme during the
week, but it will give way to the APP
preparation bills if the committee on
appropriation reports them, as is ex-
pected, and urges consideration. Sem
ator Lindsay will open the debate on
the bankruptcy bill in its favor and it
is presumed that Senator Nelson will
follow in opposition.
The appropriation bills will excite
more or less debate when taken up,
but they are scheduled to pass with
comparatively few changes. There
has been an effort Oh the part of some
members of the house to impress the
senate with the Importance of passing
these bills, as sent over from the
house without any change whatever.
This suggestion is resented especially
by the appropriation committee which
is determined to make some changes if
only for the purpose Of
Demonstrating the senate's Independence &c
Of the house. A few notifications
however, are absolutely necessary. II
appears that there is an error of $780,
600 in the calculation of totals in the
sundry civil bill, and that one appro
priation for public building is dupli
Gated
The outlook is that the week will not
be busy one and that the daily ses
sions will be short. Many senators
will be absent. The finance commit
tee will press forward it's inv estigatioI
of the Dingley tariff bill and the vari
Gus parties will continue their efforts
to reach an understanding on the or

COVE RNMENT AID.
President Mckinley Will Ask Congress
to DO Something for Sufferers.

kresiuent ucAfntey VIII ASK congress
to Do Something for Sufferers.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The presi-
dent is showing great interest in the
news of the floods in the Southwest
and his sympathy has been aroused at
the accounts Of suffering people. 1t
was at first supposed that the passage
by congress last week of the joint reso-
luton making Immediately available
the $3.50, 900 appropriation in the sum
dry civil appropriation bill for the inn
provement of the lower Mississippi
river, under the direction of the Missis-
sippi river commission, would go far
toward allying the distress in the
submerged sections. Now it has
been discovered, however, that not
cent of this money can be applied
legally to feeding and caring for the
people starving and shivering along the
banks of the rivers. Under the law the
money is appropriated for the improve
ment of the river and can be expended
only for the preservation of levees and,
perhaps by stretch of construction,
for the protection of property. At the
time of this exigency the president
has determined to bring the unfortu-
nate state of the people to the attention
of congress, trusting to that body OF
the government to provide relief.
