SENATE REORGANIZATION.

Probability That Republicans VIII Com bine
with a Certain Few Populists.
WASHINGTON. March 31.--The repub-
licans of the senate yesterday put into
motion the machinery looking to the
reorganization of the senate so far as
the committee vacancies are
concerned. The caucus was at
tended by almost every one
of the straight republicans of the
body. Mr.. Allison stated that the sit
uation had been carefully canvassed
and while sufficient votes to pass the
necessary resolution We're not now in
sight he said that the commit
tee hoped within very short
time to be able to say that the votes
were at hand that would give the re-
publicans the absolute control of the
membership of the committees. 1t is un-
derstood that a combination has been
made with certain populists whereby
they are to the vote with the republic
ans on the question of reorganization.
The populists who are to be given
good chairmanships are said to be
Senators Jones, of Nevada; Stewart
and Kyle. 1t is understood also that
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,, op-
posed such combination and will not
agree to any recognition of the popu-
lists

TARIFF NOT THE ISSUE.

Populist Members of the House Issue an
Address Which Advocates Free Silver.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-A joint
caucus of the populist members of the
senate and house was held last night
to discuss the course of that party
toward the tariff bill. As a result an
address was issued which says that the
tariff has been the battledoor and shut
tlecoclk of politics for more than 100
years, and its final settlement is more
distant than when the controversy be-
gan. The country, it states, has always
experienced hard times when there
was contraction of the money vol
ume, no matter whether the tariff was
high or low. 1t says that the most di-
rect and effective method to supply
the deficiency would be to restore sill
yer and increase the circulating medi-
UNI so as to restore the level of prices
which existed prior to the demonetiza-
ton of that metal.

cLAMoR FOR POST OFFICES.

The Postmaster-GeneralR Received a Total
of 95, ZOO Letters in Three Weeks.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-Postmaster-
General Gary received report yester-
day showing that the business of the
department relating to appointments
is even larger than was estimated Sat
urday. The figures show 23,600 let
tiers received in the first week of
the administration, 25, 700 in the
second and 1868 for the week just
ended. Practically all of these re-
late to post Office appointments This
makes a total of almost %, 900, exceed
ing the total for the same period of
the last administration. The mail from
Kansas has largely increased since the
nomination of ]. L. Bristow, of that
state, for fourth assistant postmaster
general, but many republican senators
and representatives are Withholding
recommendations and petitions of con-
stituents until Mr.. Bristow takes

VAST SEA OF WATER.
From Burlington, Ia, to the Gulf the Mis-
sissippi Valley LIS Inundated.


ST. LOUIS March 3O.-From Burling-
ton, Ia, to the Gulf of Mexico the Mis-
sissippi threatens to become a vast in
land sea. Thousands of acres of fine
farming land are being added daily to
the Inundated district and thousands
of dollars worth of property and many
lives have been claimed by the merci-
less current.
The danger in the bottom lands
around Quincy, Ill, is growing. In
the vicinity of Keokul, Ia, the bottom
lands on the Missouri and Iowa sides
are completely submerged. The river
at Alton is nearing the danger line,
and great alarm exists among the peo-
pie in the low lands opposite the city.
The river is falling slowly at Padu-
cab, Ky, but the danger is not passed.
Five cottages and some outhouses have
been washed from the farm of Albert
Atchison on the Ohio side, five miles
below that city. None of the buildings
has been recaptured.
There may be a repetition of the
Hurricane creek tragedy at Charles
ton, Mo-, as a break is hourly expected.
The crevasse below arruthersville.

desperate battle against the waters
is in progress along both banks of the
river below Helena.
The excitement at and near Green
vile, Miss, has increased. Many resi-
dents are moving to higher ground
and others are preparing to take
shelter in their upper rooms
The levees are softening. The
Vicksburg gauge registers 4S.6 feet.

the 10000, 900 farmers and producers
of the country. The reasoning which
leads him to regard his bill a meas
ure of SO much justice is: First, that
the establishment of the gold standard
in this country has reduced prices of
most products to about half their value
under the dou BILE standard; and, second,
that the farmers and producing
classes, who from their incomes pay
the salaries of all government officials,
have by reason of the gold standard
suffered loss of one-half their in
comes. Under these circumstances,
he thinks it is but fair that officials
should suffer a loss of one-quarter.

Five miles

- II
one mile in length stands with its rear
end at A, the engine, of course, being
just one mile further along at c. AS
the train starts, man boards the rear
end of the rear car at A. The train
runs on toward B, without stopping,
and the man walks through the train
toward the engine, which he reaches
just as it pulls up to B. Then he gets
off. Now, the question is, how far did
the man rider Certain it is he walked
one mile in passing from the rear end
of the train to the front end, and there
fore some contend that he rode only
four miles. It is equally certain that
he got on at A, rode all the time and
got off at B, the distance between the
two points being five miles. On this
ground it is claimed by others that the
man rode five miles, and they argue
that the mile he walked in traversing
the train has nothing to do with the
question as to how far he rode. They
put the question thus: Was the man
riding every moment of the time and
over every foot of the space between
A and B2 An affirmative answer would
seem to be conclusive in favor of the
man having ridden five miles. But
the other side offers the apparently log
ical objection that a man cannot get
on vehicle and ride on it further than
the vehicle itself goes, and they point
out that there is no question in this
c se that the train ran only four miles.
Yet, the fact remains that in passing
from A to B the man was riding every
foot of the way, for the full five miles.
But what becomes of the mile the man
walked, each stop of which was taken
toward B, his point of destina-
tion2 And if he rode five miles and
walked one, then he must have gone
six miles, thing that seems impossible |
between two points that are only five |
miles apart, with the man all the time |
going in the one direction. 1t is an in
teresting problem, and those who at
tempt to figure it out are invited to
send their solutions to the The Star
Office.
