The senate committee on privileges
and elections has authorized Il favora-
bic report on the amendment to the con-
stitutlon of the United States intro
duced by Senator Hoar, changing the
time of year for the expiration Of the
terms of the president, vice president,
senators and representatives in congress
from March until the last Wednesday
in April. The change is made to take
effect in 1901 and if the amendment
should be accepted by congress and be
ratified by a sufficient numberof states
it would have the effect of extending
the term of President Mckinley and
Vice President Hobart for almost two
months. The object of the amendment
is to avoid the harsh weather which
sometimes interferes with inauguration
ceremonies when held on March 1.

Da ton In Danger.

DAYTON, o., March 23.-Dayton is in
worse danger than at any time since
1866, when the central part of the city
was flooded. The Miami river shows
IS feet, and is rising. North Dayton is
completely under water, and about 300
houses are almost covered. The back
water is doing great damage below the
city. Three of the six trolley lines in
the city are blocked. At this writing
the levees protecting Miami City and
Riverdale, very populous sections, are
i'll danger, and every effort is being
made to strengthen the levees The
water is in the cellars in the central
portion of the city, and large and valu-
able stocks of merchandise will un-
doubtedly suffer so that the loss in that
direction alone will be tremendous
Riverdale is flooded by the breaking
of the levee of a hydraulic canal Mi
ami City levees are leaking and in dan
ger. The damage will be tremendous.
The river is still rising and thousand
families are suffering.

The Missouri supreme court, in an
opinion by Justice CAN'T, has declared
che Missouri State University free
scholarship law unconstitutional. This
law provided for the collection of q
special tax on corporations and on pa
tent medicines and a collateral success
sion tax on inheritances to establish
free scholarship in the state university.
The law is held unconstitutional be-
cause the collateral succession is a "tax"
upon property within the meaning of
the constitution, and hence must be
uniform and for public purpose. The
creation OF Il free scholarship in the
state university is not public purpose
and the law is void for that reason.
