Curious Sight at Niagara.

A dispatch from Niagara Falls, April
23, says Niagara has been storm swept
today and the effect of the high wind was
to create remarkable spectacle. The
wind came out of the southwest forcing the
ice foe that came down from Lake Erie
close to the New York shore. The ice
piled up in great ridges between the main
land and Goat Island thereby forcing the
water out into the Canadian channel. It
left the channel above the American Fall
in such condition that large areas of the
river bottom were barred The amount Of
water that forced its way past the ice was
comparatively small, and the effect was
very noticeable on the American Fall,
which was much diminished in volume.
Several groups of people made their way
out on the rocks above the island bridges
and one man succeeded in walking from
the mainland to Goat Island across the
ice and rocks. The scene recalled that Of
March 20, 1849, when Niagara ran dry,
owing to an ice jam at the entrance to the
river near Black Rock

The Extra Session.
From the wicomico News.


Contrary to the wishes and hopes of the
Republicans Of Maryland, the extra session Of
the Legislature called by Governor Smith was
of short duration, lasting only two and hall
hours. Nothing was taken up except the tax
levy bill and the appropriation bills to pay the
cost ofthe session, which amounted to about
So, 500.
The effort made by the Democratic mem
bers of the Senate and by some of the mem
bers of the House to defeat the appropriation
bill, and thereby compel the members to do
their work for nothing, was very commenda-
bic, but the attitude of the House, in refusing
to pass the tax levy bill until the Senate passed
the appropriation bill, was along the line OF
policy Instituted by Mr.. Straus and his asso-
ciates. The attitude of Mr. Straus in passing
an order placing four engrossing clerks on the
House side, when there was not scratch OF
pen to make, the two bills having originated
in the Senate, and engrossed there by the
Senators themselves, to save expense, is
another refutation of Mr.. Straus' claim of
saving money. Another feature which is dis
gushing to all thinking men, was the fact that
one of these engrossing clerks named by
Straus was his own private secretary. 10
further vent his spleen Straus debarred Ser
geant Brown, and named man from Anne
Arundel county to his place, and then after
wards voted Brown his pay, which the Comp
trolIer very wisely refused to honor. Here
was another case in which Straus was luxu-
ry to the State to the tune of nearly hundred
dollars

Harm Done by Field Mice.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, April 27.-Loud
complaint is being made by nurserymen in
this region because of the harm done by
field mice. The loss will foot up into five
figures and some say that it will reach
500, 600.
The damage is done to small fruit trees
which were to be put upon the market
this spring. The mice have in many in
stances destroyed whole acres of the trees.
Ex-Supervisor Babcock of Brighton is
one of the heaviest losers. He has had
II, 600 trees destroyed by the mice.
His case is not an isolated one, as sim
liar reports come in from many Of the vii
lagos in this region.
Some people think that there will be a
plague Of mice this spring, and that all
vegetation, especially young trees, will suf-
fer severely all through the State. The
mice eat the bark from the lower part Of
the tree, killing it in short time.

WEST vs.. EAST.

REPUBLICAN SPLIT IN THE SEN
ATE.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The contest in the
Senate over the Cuban Reciprocity bill is at
white heat and the feeling in the Republican
membership is more bitter than for many
II Is very doubtful if there will be any break
in the ranks of the beet-sngar Republicans.
According to poll last Sunday there were Is
Republicans who would oppose any conces-
siops to Cuba. These, with the Democratic
votes, would place the Administration in 4 MI
nority by IL votes. This number has grown
to Ig by the accession of Senator Burton, OF
Kansas. Yesterday when proposition was
made to pass Reciprocity bill without the
House amendments and Senator Burton was
asked TO consent to it, he made speech which
fairly sizzled.
You gentlemen from the East, = he is re-
ported to have said, 'shave been keeping the
tariff up at the expense of the farmers who
are clamoring for reduction of duties and Tor
wider markets. You ignore their plea, and
now, in now, in order to help Cuba, propose
to make the farmer who is growing sugar
beets paw the bill. You have thrown aside
the policy of the late President Mckinley as
TO reciprocity. At this session and at the
last Won have refused to consider the recipro
CITY treaties indorsed by him. Why? Be-
cause few manufacturers in New England
feel that they would be hurt. hear threats
of Furnishing Senators for holding out against
the Cuban bill. Let the punishment be at
tempted"
Senator Qaarles, Of Wisconsin, also spoke
in similar strain, defying threats he had
heard that the Michigan and Wisconsin Sem
ators would be given free lum Der.
The threat to send 10 the President the bill
abolishing the differential and countervailing
duties. which would be blow at both the
beet-sugar monopoly and the American Sugar
Refining Company, might be expected to
frighten beet-sugar Senators bat for the fact
that as yet.the Democrats and beetmen are IN
control of the committee having charge of the
reciprocity measure. The committee still
stands four in favor of Cuban concessions to
seven against the concessions. There seems
no immediate prospect that this committe will
report fayorably any Cuban relief.
