House Program.

WASHINGTON, April 5-The house in
pursuance of the waiting policy mapped
out by the leaders adjourned Saturday
until Wednesday and ON that day will
Immediately adjourn again for three
days, the constitutional limit of adj
journment, without the consent of the
senate. Many of the members have
gone home subject to call in the event
they should be needed. In case the
president should decide to ask congress
for special legislation for the relief of
the Mississippi food sufferers, as it is
anticipated he may, the proceedings on
Wednesday may be more interesting.
Any legislation which may be proposed
in the present situation would be
blocked by a single objection, and while
it is not likely that there would be
capitious opposition to a bill which
would appeal SO directly to the sympa-
thy of congress, an objection might be
made. This would necessitate special
order from the committee on rules for
its consideration and all the attendant
complications

The Already Overlooked Streams Increased
by Heavy Rainfall.
OMAHA, April Especial kilograms
to The Bee from points in South Da-
kots, Iowa and Nebraska bring word Of
increased floods in all the rivers. Rain
has fallen almost necessarily for the
last ~ hours over an area Of more than
100 miles in radius from Omaha, the
fall being fully four inches for that
time. This has greatly increased the
volume of water in the already swollen
streams, and now what are usually
brooks have been transformed into tor
rents. Thousands Of acres of farmland
are under from four to six feet Of run
ming water, and many families have
moved from homes in boats.
Along the James river in South Da-
kota great many farmers had gone
back to their homes when the water re-
coded early last week, and are now
caught in this food. A Missouri river
steamboat has been sent from Yankton
to rescue the sufferers along the James
river.
Sioux City reports that the Missouri
has passed the danger line there and is
oyerfiowing the lower part of the city.
Cherokee reports the second food on
the Little Sioux worse than the first.
Repairs had commenced ON the property
damaged by the first deluge, but all is
being washed away again.
Yankton is cut off from railroad COM
and most Of the telegraph
and telephone lines are down. Pierre
reports the Missouri clear of ice there,
but word from Bismarck is that the ice
on the upper river has began to move.

FORECAST OF CONGRESS.
Not Much Expected In Either the senat
or House This Week.

Y
or House This Week.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The bank.
ruptcy bill will be given first place in
the senate program this week, but il
will give way to the appropriation bills
after Tuesday if the committee on ap-
preparations reports them, as is expect
ed, and urges consideration. Senator
Lindsay will open the debate on the
bankruptcy bill in its favor and it is
presumed that Senator Nelson win fol-
low in opposition.
The appropriation bills will excite
more or less debate when taken up, but
they are scheduled to pass with COM
paratively few changes. There has been
an effort on 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 appropriations
committee, which is determined to make
some changes if only for the purpose of
demonstrating the senate's independ-
ence of the house. A few notifications,
however, are absolutely necessary. 1t
appears that there is an error Of 500, 900
in the calculation of totals in the sun
dry civil bill and that one appropriation
for public building is duplicated. The
committee also will restore the provision
for opening the Uncompahgre Indian
reservation in the Indian bill. but will
allow only one claim of Gilsonite to
such individual and not two as has been
heretofore reported.
The Uncompahgre matter and the
question of revoking President Cleve-
lands order for the creation of forest
reservations in the west will occasion
debate. The committee probably will
make no recommendation in this mat
ter, though there is possibility that it
may be transferred from the sundry
civil to the general deficiency bill. The
senators from the states affected will
make an effort ON the floor of the senate
to have the provision in regard to this
matter restored as it originally passed
the senate.
The outlook is that the week will not
be busy one and that the daily ses-
sions will be short. Many senator will
be absent The finance committee will
press forward its investigation of the
tariff bill, and the various par
ties will con inue their efforts to reach
an understanding on the organization
OF the senate committees. Some atten-
ton may be given to the arbitration
treaty i'll executive session, but there
will not be any effort to get vote upon
1t during the week.

The County Democratic Com
mittee, before whom are the re
turns of the county primary, will
meet tomorrow in order to finish
the count and declare the nomi'
nees.
Our readers understand us on
the question Of contests; they dis
rupt parties and we fatty oppose
them, and we hope the committee
will hear all grievances, the evid'
ence, and to each candidate justice
will be done. We have the ut,
most confidence in our committee,
believing they will deal fairly and
honestly with each candidate, con-
sidering both their interest and
that of the party, for with their
action tomorrow depends in a
large measure the success Of the
party in November. We see no
reason why the committee should
not settle all matters before them,
but in the event they can not, we
would suggest in the Sheriffs race
that Mr.. Jones and Mr.. McCor-
mick goin person before the Chair
man Of the State Central Commit
tee, lay before him the facts and
submit to his decision.
1t would be an easy matter for
Mr.. Mccormick to make the state
ment that according to the certif-
cate of election in the AaronS Run
ballot box he gets s. votes and
Mr.. Jones 1856 votes. This fact
can not be disputed. Then Mr.,
Jones could carry with him certi-
fed certificates Of the officers of
election Of said precinct showing
that Mr.. Mccormick got s. votes
and that Mr.. Jones received I63
votes and that they as well as Mr..
Jones claimed that the certificate
in the ballot box was wrong, the
error being a clerical one.
These statements made before
Mr.. Johnston, Chairman Of the
State Central Committee, a man
free from bias and who has only
the interests of the party in view,
a man who could and would civ
a just decision and which decis-
ion should satisfy both candidates
and all Democrats as well.

= MEMPHIS, April 5.--Another disas.
trous break in the Mississippi levee has
occurred at Flower Lake, six miles be.
low Tunica, Miss. The crevasse, while
not yet Of great width, is fully 10 feet
deep, and the water is pouring through
the opening with fearful velocity. This
will probably be the most destructive
break that has occurred in the delta.
The most fertile farmlands of Missis-
sippi, lying in Coahoma, LAHORE, Quit
man aud Tallahatchie counties, I'm the
northern part of the state, will be mum
dated, and the newly planted corn
crops will be laid IN waste. Fortunate
ly mo loss of life is reported, the inhab-

made preparations for just such a catas-
trophe-
The condition of the poorer classes
throughout the flooded area is indeed
critical Thousands of refugees are be-
ing huddled ON levees and spots of land
waiting for relief. The towns of Rose
dale and Tnnica report that everything
possible is being done for these poor
people, but that funds and provisions
are last becoming exhausted In the
little city of Rosedale alone 200 refu-
gees are being cared for by the citizens.
Half hundred towns stand in six feet
of water and the yellow stream is creep
ing up slowly but surely.
Advices just received tell of break
in the leyee two miles south of Helena,
Ark. This is the levee for which the
people of southeastern Arkansas have
made such desperate fight. The waters
from this break will food great area
and in all probability will back up into
the streets of Helena.
The relief steamer Ora Lee arrived at
Mariana, Ark, late yesterday after
noon, having made an expedition up the
st. Francis river. There were on board
100 rufugees and 200 head of cattle.
The steamer went up the st. Francis
river as far as Cutoff and then worked
her way down stream, rescuing people
from perilous positions. The suffering
along the st. Francis river is appalling.
The water throughout the entire neigh
boring country is from to 10 feet deep.
The relief boat had ON board the body
of Mrs McMain of Raggio City. The
body was found at Raggio and it was
taken to Marianne for burial, there be-
ing no land at the former place ON
which to give it interment.
The st. Francis is rising from three
to five inches daily. At Memphis the
river is slowly rising again, the gauge
1854 feet. This is a rise of |
one-tenth since last report. At points
below Vicksburg, the river is rising. 1t !
