According to recent experiments by
stanilas &Tetard, a widely known
French agriculturist, wheat and other
.t cereals can be protected against the
rsa ay Of crows. which are particu-
yl lar fond Of the grain when its sprouts
are just pushing above the ground,
by treating the seeds before they are
soWn 2 I. with mixture Of coal-tar, Pc
troleu " Il and picnic acid. This treat
ment. which delays the growth Of the
seed for a day or two, but causes no
damage, imparts an odor which is in
81 uu f to the crows, but which dis
AZ appears after the sprouts have at
tanned tai larger growth, when they are
no longer subject to attack. Il. \

THE SENATE

Washington, April S.-Senator Chandler probably will make an effort Monday to get the senate to agree upon a day for taking a vote on the resolution concern ing the seating of Senator Quay The present indications are that for the pres- ent he will fail to secure unanimous con- sent, and in any event the decision of the resolution will proceed.
 The Indian appropriation bill will con- tinue to receive attention until disposed of, but it is not expected to occasion a great deal more of debate.
 Senator Carter hopes to proceed with the consideration of the Alaskan code bill early in the week with the hope of secur- ing action at an early day The appropri- ation bill for the District of Columbia probably will be considered during the week.
 On Wednesday Senator Lodge will ask the senate to vote upon the Philippine temporary measure, but he does not ex- pect to accomplish more than to get day fixed for the vote. There is appar- ently no disposition to debate this bill to any great extent, but an objection is like ly to be entered to vote at this time. The republican senators are disposed to crowd on all possible sail with the view of securing early adjournment, and to this end will seek to get early action on ap- propriation bills and on other necessary legislation. The democrats apparently are disposed to fall in with this idea, and they, too express a desire to get away early in the summer.
 The committee on elections will conclude its consideration of the case of Senator Clark, of Montana, during the week. Sen ator Chandler, chairman of the committee, expresses the opinion that only one sitting of the committee will be necessary to de- termine the attitude of the committee. A portion of the session of the senate Tues day afternoon will be devoted to eulogies upon the late Representative Bland, of Missouri.

THE GRAND JURY
 STILL AT WORK
An Unconfrmed Report Says Se- rious Trouble Has Occurred
 at MiddIeboro, Ky.

Frankfort, Ky, April 8-The grand jury will continue the investigation of the Goebel assassination during this week. About forty witnesses have been examined so far, and it is said that more than that number are on the list of those summon ed who have not yet been heard. No re- port Is expected before the latter part of the week. It is said that the names of several of the most important witnesses who have testified so far have not been disclosed, and the evidence has been jeal- ously guarded. The habeas corpus pro- ceedings in the case of "Tallow Dick" Combs, the colored suspect, is set for hearing before Judge Cantrill Tuesday, but it is not expected that anything will be brought out which will throw any light on the mystery surrounding the assassin ation.
 There is an unconfirmed report here to- night that a collision has occurred be- tween the factions which are contesting over the city government at Middesboro, and that the democrats have applied to Democratic Governor Beckham for troops. Governor Beckham is at Shelbyville to- night and Assistant Adjutant General Murray who is in charge of the military department has heard nothing officially concerning the reported trouble.

The Famous Actress Succumbs to an Attack of Pneu-
 mOnia at Stamford.

New York, April Silly Coghlan, the actress, sister of Rose and Charles Cogh- Ian, died at Stamford, Conn.,, early this morning, aged S6. Her death was unex- pected, although it was known that she was very i'll. A short time ago she went to Rochester to visit friends and while there was taken i'll with measles. She re- turned to this city in poor health, but did not tell her sister, Rose Coghlan, or any of her friends of the ailment. In little while she again fell i'll here, and her sis- ter and brother-in-law John T. Sullivan, engaged two trained nurses to take care of her. Her malady developed into pneu- monia. She was taken to Bellevue hos pital.
 On Tuesday morning she was removed to Stamford, Conn. There was no chance for recovery, however, and she sank rapid ly.
 Rose Coghlan, after finishing her part on the stage here Saturday night, hurried to Stamford and reached her sisters bed- side fifteen minutes before her death, and while she was still conscious.
 Eily Coghlan was the second daughter and youngest child of Charles Francis and Anna Maria Coghlan, of Peterboro, Eng. Charles, tPe eldest, died snort tlpe ago. Francis, the second son, was an officer on the British ship Belvidere, and went down with her in a gale off the China coast in the seventies. Rose is now the only mem- Der of the family surviving. Ely Coghlap married Sydney Rattan, secretary of the Leadenhall street bank, London, ip 1887. Her name was familiar in the concert halls and theaters of Europe and this country. Her debut was made in London immediately after the completion of her musical training under the charge Of Carl Rosa. She appeared in the promenade concerts in her majesty's theater and in Covent Garden, singing in contralto pArtsl

ON TWO-THIRDS TIME
The Georgia Saw Mill Owners Hold
 Meeting

Triton, Ga., April S.-The Georgia Saw Mill association, representing some SOo Yellow pine mill plants in Georgia South Carolina and Florida at meeting held here yesterday, decided by practically unanimous vote that on and after May lo all mills belonging to the members Of the association would be run on two-thirds time. This will affect thousands of opera lives and decrease the outpt of yellow pine in this state nearly one-third.
 It is understood that the limited supply of yellow pine timber in sight is largely the cause of this action as the association doubtless thinks prices should rule higher in view of the small supply. It is by no means a secret that many of the larger mills only have enough standing timber in sight to last three or four years, while even the most fortunate only report suf- ficient in sight to run seven or eight years,

After the storm the tourists found themselves in a wild country with six washouts between them and San Antonio and nine washouts and missing bridges between them and Fl Paso. The eastern toruists had the ex- perience of toughing 1t, which they did not bargain for. The damage to the Southern Pacific between here and Fl Paso is esti- mated at several hundred thousand dol lars

AUSTIN STILL IN DARKNESS With the River Running Through
 the Unfortunate City SITUATION IS MOST SERIOUS Services Could Not Be Held Last Night on Account of Lack of
 Light-Newspapers Se-
 riously Handicapped
SITUATION IS MOST SERIOUS

Austin, Tex, April S.-Fully 90,0O0 people gathered at the dam and power house stationed north of this city to witness the ruins of the plant which cost this city one and three-quarter millions of dollars few years ago. The waters of the Colora- do river were still plunging and foaming around the wreck, eating away the big pile of granite which once formed the dam as though it was nothing more than chalk rock. So fierce was the current that great boulders were carried half a mile from the dam being rollod over and over by the turbulent tide. The power house. which succumbed to the terrific wash of the wa ter at ? o'clock this morning, lies a mass of wreckage on the edge of the river, all the valuable machinery either having been thrown into the river or badly damaged by the falling timbers of the power house.
 The wreck of the plant is complete. The situation in the city tonight is most seri- ous. The wreckage of the plant means that 1t will take several weeks to even se- cure temporary water and light system. if it can be made possible even then. In the meantime the city will be in bad sanitary condition. All the hotels, private residences, stores and the like are without water, and there Is fire protection. Churches were unable to hold services to- night for want of light, and all public meetings were abandoned. The daily newspapers are handicapped in their puh- lications being deprived of their electric power.
 The river is falling tonight.
 Everything Under Water
 Reports from the neighboring country are to the effect that everything Is under wat In Williamson county, north of here. railroad bridges and trackage have been laid waste and all trains have stopped running Hundreds of head of cattle have been drowned and miles of fencing torn down and washed away. In Bastrop county and in the southern por- tion of this county, similar conditions pre- vail, everything being under water and much loss of property is reported
 The country tributary to the Colorado river all the way down in its course is being undulated, and while it is believed the worst is over, the losses estimated to- night will exceed some $3,0OO,O00, counting Austin as the largest loser. Fortunately the list of drowned, according to reports up to tonight, is limited to those reported in these dispatches last night.
 A mass meeting of citizens has been called for tomorrow in order that some steps may be taken to relieve the situa- tion.
 There were no trains operated on the International and Great Northern railroad, as much of its track and quite a number of bridges were washed away during last night. The Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad is also heavy sufferer from like cause.
 Reports from several sections of Central and south Texas are to the effect that large acreage is under water and much damage has been attendant upon property and live stock.

RIVERS ARE FALLING
Danger of a General Flood Is Thought
 to be Passed

Houston, Tex, April S.-As rule the is not much danger of a general flood. The crops have been damaged over a wide era, but there is still time for farmers to re-plant if they can get the seed. Corn has been planted over once and will have to be planted the third time. The farmers as rule have not planted much cotton because the heavy rains have kept them out of the fields. The railroads have lost many small bridges, and it will be a week before traffic resumes its normal condi- ton.
 Smithville reports tremendous rains have fallen throughout that section, the main flood in the Colorado from the break in the great Austin dam reaching there this evening. The river is on thirty-eight- foot rise at p. m., and rising one foot an hour. It is estimated that over 5000 acres of growing crops in the bottom lands within five miles of town have been inun- dated by from ten to fifteen feet. The loss will reach over s5O,0Oo. The stock has been drowned. No deaths have been re- ported so far from drowning. Great ex- citement and uneasiness prevailed last night.
 Cameron reports the flood in Little river now equals that of last July. The water works and power house have been oVer- flowed. People were warned and no loss of life is reported. Brushy, Sangabriel and Little rivers are all overflowed, caus- ing the entire destruction of all crops. The rivers are still rising.
 Reports from points on other rivers are of damage to crops, but no loss of life.
