FLOODS IN
Milwaukee,, Fond du Lac, Lacrosse
and other Cities BADLY Damaged.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 25.-The
heavy rains and thaw throughout Wiscon-
sin for the past three days has caused
high water in many places throughout the
State, and several business firms have been
compelled to suspend operations temporar-
lily at least. S~heboygan, Oshkosh, Fond du
Lac. Saukville and this city are having the
worst experience. The flood in the Menomi-
nee river valley in this city is higher to-
day than for years past and several of the
factories are unable TO operate. Piggsville.
a Milwaukee suburb, Is under water and
the streets of the town are inundated. At
Wauwatosa the river is threateningly high.
At Black River Falls the Black river rose
about eight feet to-day and is still rising.
The ice Is going out and damage TO prop
erty will be heavy unless the waters re-
cede.
Fond du Lac reports an ice gorge has
formed at Twelfth-street bridge, and II is
feared the bridge will be hoisted from its
foundation. The river has overlooked its
banks and Is doing considerable damage
along its course.
Oshkosh reports the lowlands all covered
with water; and on the road between there
and Neenah the interurban track In many
places is a foot or two under water, caus-
ing some delay TO the incoming cars.
At La Crosse the water in all the streams
Is rapidly rising and considerable damage
has been done 10 the numerous dams and
bridges by ice gorges. Dynamite was used
10 break up the gorge in the La Crosse river
within the CITY limits. which had threatened
70 carry away the bridge between the North
and SOutn sides. A sixty-fOot dam in the
Root river at Hokah. Mimi. was washed
away.
The village Of Saukville has been cut in
two by the flood and the railway station
cannot be reached from either side. Ex-
element runs high tonight and Port Wash

are leaving their homes by the score.

N AND MITCHELL
OHIO SENATOR AND NINE WORKERS.
LEADER IN NEW YORK.
Former Says He Is Not Trying to Set
tie the Anthracite TroubIe-Lat-
ter Visits Morgun's Office.

NEW YORK. March Ex-senator Hanna,
who Is in town, visited several places in
the fnancia. district to-day. When asked
whether his presence here had any connec-
ton with coal strike rumors. the senator
replied emphatically that it had none. Il
am here on other Matters he said. Il
nave nothing 10 do with this affair and
l know nothing about il, save what | have
heard and read the last few days. l have
not been consulted with regard 10 this
matter at all"
President Mitchell, of the Miners Union.
sent the following statement 10 Wilkes
barre to-day: Il have had no conference
with J. p. Morgan or any other railroad
president or coal operator. Contrary to
repots, we, the committee. did not come
TO New York in response TO any invitation.
So far as L know. the miners have not. up
To- this time, been offered or granted any
concessions. OF course, we all hope 10
avert the strike and are putting forth oUr
most Urgent efforts TO that end. We came
tc New York for the purpose of holding a
conference, II possible, and in doing so we
are simply carrying out the wishes ex-
pressed by a majority OF those who attend
&c the late conference at Hazelton."
John Mitchell, with his colleagues, john
Fahy, Thomas Duffy and T. ID. Nichols,
left the Ashland House early this morning
and did not return until 8 o'clock tonight.
They would not say where they had been
when they got back.
Senator Hanna, when seen tonight, again
stated positively that he was not here TO
settle anything concerning the proposed
coal strike and would not discuss the ques-
ton in any way. When asked what was
the reason for his visit TO Mr.. Morgan's
office during the day he said, dryly: well,
II was not COAL
The Herald tomorrow will say that the
operators of the anthracite coal mines and
the executive officers of those railroads
that are largely interested in that industry
ere unanimous in the opinion that there
will be no strike ordered on April l in the
Pennsylvania coal regions. There seemed
to be equal positiveness in the assertion
that as an organization the United Mine
Workers will not be recognized by the
operators.
IT seems TO be pretty we'll established
that Mr.. Mitchell will not have an oppor-
tunity of holding any conference as the
representative of the United Mine Workers
with any of the anthracite coal operators
or any person representing them. The OPP
orators are averse to giving any recognition
to the organization. Several of the railroad
officials received dispatches from the coal
region to-day. and the recipients said that
all were of the same tenor-that the miners
were anxious to avert a strike.

NEBRASKA'S DEADLOCK.


NEW YORK. March 26.-The Times says:
United States Senator Hanna was inter
viewed last night on matters of public in
terest. He said: SO far as ] I'm person
ally concerned. / am opposed to the cleo
ton of United States senators by the direct
vote of the people. Still. l can see tina.
an amendment to the Constitution provid-
ing for popular election of senators will be
encouraged by obstinate deadlocks in Leg
islatures, as in Nebraska and Delaware.
The trouble with the present method of
electing members OF the United States
Senate is that the will of the people, as
expressed at the polls, is sometimes de-
layed or held up indefinitely. The dead
lock in Nebraska makes every Republican
indignant. The party there is clearly de-
MED the legitimate fruits of its victory
Concerning the Chinese question. Sen
ator Hanna said: The educated Chinese
believe in the United States. Too much
praise cannot be accorded TO Secretary
Hay for the great wisdom and diplomacy
he displayed in handling the Chinese ques-
ton"

II now appears that from all sources the
annual revenue now aggregates about $50
100000 gold, derived from the land tax, the
grain tax. the llkin. the customs. the opium
tax and miscellaneous imports. The largest
items are the land tax. which brings in
Sf,000,00. and the foreign customs. which
yield Sl2. 0O0. 600. In the opinion OF the for
eigners who have participated In the dis
cussion the land tax could be doubled or
tripled without much hardship. and the
salt tax could be raised from So 600. 600 -
S20. 100000. Ii Is believed the total increase
could be made 10 amount to $3.50. 000.0 900. &c.
then. the imperial expenses could be re-
duced to 5.OO0.G 90. there would be left
available for the liquidation of the interest
on loans and the indemnity fund the sum
OF 100000 600. Making allowances. ii would
be possible TO pay the indemnity within
twenty years.

pealed in 1854 and in the contest over the
admission of Kansas In 1858, in a speech on
The Crime Against Kansas" he sharply

South Carolina and a nephew of Senator
Butler. Brooks approached the seated
senator and, without any warning, struck
him repeatedly on the head with a heavy
cane. Senator Sumner strove to rise, and
in so doing wrenched< his desk from the
floor, but the repeated blows rained on him
rendered him unconscious and he fell.

The event was characterized by Sir
George Lewis as THE beginning of the

but the resolution failed of the necessary
two-thirdS vote to pass. Later, in a debate
In the House, a dispute with Arson Burlin-
game, of Massachusetts, led TO a challenge
to a duel by Brooks. which was accepted.
Canada was to be the place of meeting.
But Brooks failed TO appear, giving as his
reason that he would have to pass
through the enemy's country" He re-
signed from Congress, but was unanimous

cally incapacitated from public service for
nearly four years. Til incident caused in
tense excitement In all parts of the coun-
try. Brooks received costly canes and
other testimonials from many places in
the South. He died in January, 1857.
