Not So Grcnt Mt Lake rs Was
Feared.

Not So Grcnt Mt Lake Mnnnwn as Was
Feared.
There was no material change in the flood
situation yesterday, except the disposition to
do a little more damage in the vicinity of
Big lake and at Manhattan beach at Lake
Manawa. Gilbert Bros. sent a carload OF
lumber to Biz lake yesterday to be used in
protecting the entertainments around their
reservoir. The water reaches within a few
feet of the top Of the bank on the west and
north sides and yesterday the waves raised
by the stiff northwest wind began to eat
away the bank at en- alarming rate. The
lumber was used to protect it. By night an
apron, composed Of planks wired together,
was spread around the bank at all the threat
ened points.
The water has crept up to the grade of the
Northwestern Railway company's main line
and is standing several feet deep at the foot
OF the grade. The waves, driven In by the
northwest wind, began to attack the en-
bankment yesterday, and a force of men was
at once put TO work protecting it with plank
ing. The railroad people have experienced
no difficulty from the flood at any point along
their line between here and Missouri Valley.
The riprapping that was done at a point
two or three miles above Big lake has pre-
vented the river from making any further in
roads in that direction. The work which has
just been completed has undoubtedly saved
the company a great deal of trouble and eX-
pense.
Colonel Reed came up from Manawa yes
terday and declared that the condition of
affairs at the Grand Plaza very satisfactory.
The water had risen over the walk on the
lake front and had made 1t easy to sit in
the pavilion and fish, but had not inflicted a
dollars worth of damage to any of the prop
erty in the vicinity. He also brings the in
telligence that the pavilion on the south side
of the lake has al p~arently righted itself, and
has assumed a perpendicular position again
and is apparently uninjured. The waves,
however, were running high and were pound
Ing severely upon everything in their path.
The bath houses and the big pavilion had
apparently been filled with sand and this was
anchorin8 them firmly to the earth. All of
the steamers, with the exception OF the Lib
erty, have been sunk by the waves. They
have spent the winter hitched up to the south
shore. The big side-wheeler. City of Omaha,
Is submerged, with only a section of the

But for the beet sugar bounty amend
ment which it is said Senator Allen will
persist in pres sing, Notwithstanding it
was withdrawn by the finance committee,
the passage of the tariff bill by the Sen
ate within few days could be confident
ly predicted. But no one can foresee just
what will happen if this amendment
is pressed. Senator Jones has given fair
notice that the Democrats will fight it
to the bitter end, and if they do that
they can postpone vote on the bill for
weeks, if not indefinitely. The Senate
is as lacking of rules to restrict debate at
it ever was. and the only reason the bill
has made so good progress as it has is be-
cause the opposition did not see fit to
use their power. 1t is not too late to
avail themselves of it now. The intro
duction of this amendment at this time
was a great blunder, the easiest way out
of which is for the Republicans to join
with the Democrats and promptly vote
it down. If they undertake to sup
port it an interminable debate inevitable,
and this means an indefinite postpone
ment of the passage Of the bill.

The last legislature of Pennsylvania
modified the law of libel and has made
it more consistent with reason and JUS
tice. Heretofore it has been possible to
prosecute newspaper for the same libel
in every county in which it circulated.
The publishers might have to re-
spond dozen times in damages for the
same libel. The new law changes this
by providing that no defendant in libel
suit shall be prosecuted in more than one
county. The most important section re-
1ates to civil actions for libel 1t provides
that the plea of justification shall be
accepted when it is pleaded by the de-
PENDANT that the publications is substan-
italy true in every material respect and
is proper for public information. - 1t
provides further that, if this plea is estab-
lished to the satisfaction of the court and
jury, there shall be no recovery of dam

the newspaper owners contemplate with
the greatest contentment-it provides

The London Daily Chronicle alleges
that the British government has received
from the United States very pointed
despatch, accusing the former of bad faith
in the business of protecting the seals.
There is certainly some ground for such
a charge. England has never heartily
co-operated with the United States in
patrolling Behring Sea. Her American
colony has been opposed to any effective
patrol, and England has, though keeping
up pretence of patrolling the sea, prac-
tically assisted her wishes in this re-
spect.

that President Mckinley would help
them "down" the ''boss' turns out to
have been very forlorn one. If Platt

patronage could not be more complete.
