FLOODS AND RAIN.
Present Conditions Bad But Do
Not Approach 1851.

Director Sage estimates that an
inch of water upon an acre of ground
amounts to about 113 tons. In some
places the rainfall has aggregated
nearly twenty inches during the past
two months. This means that every
acre of land in those localities has re-
ceived at least $500 tons of water in
that time,
In 1851, however, within FIVE months
time Az inches of rain fell in this
part Of Iowa. just think of a pre-
cipitation of over six feet on the level,
and what a torrent it must have made
OF every creek and river.
The Fort Des Moines Star, May 20,
1851, in speaking of the downpour,
says: "For three weeks it has rain
ed almost necessarily, pouring down
from the clouds as II the very win
dows Of heaven were opened. Meth
or the memory of the oldest settlers
along the banks of the Des Moines
river, nor the memory Of the natives
who resided here before it was set
tied by the whites, nor any tradition
airy account from the natives, furn-
ishes any evidence OF such a food
ever having occurred here, in all past
time. The Coon and Des Moines
rivers are higher by several feet than
they we're in the spring of 1S49, which
was the greatest rise of water ever
known here up to that time"
From the early files of The HERALD
in June 1851, we quote the following
item:
1.-THE destruction of property on
the the Des Moines river has been
very great. Farms have been cleared
of fences, growing crops, houses and
everything OF a movable nature. The
river was never known to be so high
before. A vast amount of grain in
the cribs has been swept away. The
inhabitants on the river bottoms
have been compelled to desert their
homes and fee to the bluffs for refuge,
A number of dwellings were carried
away. This calamity will be doubly
hard on the citizens of this vicinity Of
the Des Moines river, as it has not
only destroyed the present crops but
has taken away the old crops that
were in store for the herds of the
present season. Eddyville, Ottumwa,
Red Rock and the eastern part of
Fort Des Moines are nearly sub
merged by the overlooking river"

EXPLANATION BY MR.. SIMMONS.
Tells Why He Will Vote for the Bill to Ex.
clude the Chinese.
(By the Associated Press.


Washington, April 7.-ConsiderabIe
time was consumed by the Senate today
in discussion of the conference report
on the bill TO reduce war revenue taxes.
AS passed by the Senate the tax on
transactions in so-called bucket shops
was retained. The conferees struck out
that provision, It being explained that
the House would. not consent to it's re-
tention. Mr.. Berry, of Arkansas; Mr..
Bacon, of Georgia, and Mr.. Pettus, of
Alabama, insisted that the Senate should
demand the retention of the tax.
MI. Bacon maintained thai, as the tax
upon bucket-shops was a proper source
of revenue. and the tax manifestly was
properly laid, it ought to be continued. He
said that the law applied to both boards
OF trade and bucket-shops, except, as to
the latter. it applied to both legal and
illegal contracts. He thought it was
clearly within the purvew of the con-
ference TO deal with the levying of the
taxes both in bucket-shops and in regular
exchanges.
Mr.. Aldrich, OF Rhode Island; Mr.. Ali
son, of Iowa. and Mr.. Spooner. of Wis
consin. while they were in favor of the
tax, explained that it could not be re-
tanned without endangering the entire
measure. The conference report finally
was adopted, sc to 20.
Mr. Simmons. of North Carolina, ex-
planned briefly why he should support the
Chinese Exclusion Bill, although he
frankly said he would do so with some
reluctance. Mr.. Simmons was reluctant
10 vote for the measure, especially be-
couse the cotton manufacturers of his
state and of the South generally were
appealing against its enactment. They
fear. hc said, that it will lead to retalia-
tory action on the part of China and
that their market in the Orient might be
checked il not destroyed.
Mr. Simmons explained that he did not
agree with the cotton manufacturers and
therefore. as people of the Pacific coast
and other sections were demanding the
passage of the bill, he would vote for it.
The Exclusion Bill was read for commit
tee amendment. the reading occupying

Washington, April THE House to-
day passed the Chinese Exclusion Bill
after incorporating in it several amend
ments which increased the drastic char
acter of the measure. The principal one
not only excludes Chinese by birth and
descent, but all Chinese of mixed blood.
The chief struggle was over an amend
ment to prohibit the employment of Chi
nese sailors on American ships. An
amendment covering this proposition at
first was ruled out on a point of order,
but subsequently was modified to evade
the ruling and was adopted 100-H. AS
passed, the bill practically re-enacts all
the existing exclusion laws and incorpor-
ates with them the existing treasury
regulations. It extends these exclusion
laws to the Philippines and the other
possessions of the United States and for
bids Chinese laborers in our colonial pos
sessions coming into this country. The
Philippine Commission by the terms of
the I'LL is. directed to adopt proper meas
ures for the enforcement of the provis-
ions of the bill in the Philippines.
