WASHINGTON NEWS.
Proceedings Of Senate Resolution
for Rules Committee.
ST. LOUIS AFTER CONVENTIONS.

Washington, March 11.--At the open
ing of the senate today, Frye, presi-
dent protein. called attention of the
senators to the fact that under strict
Interpretation of the rules only such
business as properly belongs to mat
ters under consideration in executive
session should be presented at this ex-
ira session of the senate, and said it
only confuses the record to have other
business introduced now, as it would
all have to be reintroduced at the reg
ular session in December.
Allison, of Iowa, offered a resolution
which he said ie thought was proper
at this time, authorizing the commit
tee on rules to re-examine rules of the
senate with q view to ascertaining
what changes, if any, are necessary
and especially to make inquiry wheth-
er it is expedient in any way to leave
it to debate in the senate and if so, to
what extent The resolution further
provides the committee is authorized
to sit during the recess of the senate
and are directed to sumbit a report to
the senate of their conclusions as soon
as practicable after the beginning of
the session next December.
The resolution was referred 10 the
committee to audit and control contin-
getn expenses of the senate.
The senate then on motion of Cullom
OF Illinois, at 1920, went into eXecu-
tive session.
The senate committee on foreign re-
lations today authorized favorable re
ports on eXtradition treaties recently
negotiated between the United States
and Mexico and Guatemala. The Mex
lean treaty is an amendment to the ex.
isting treaty between the two coun-
tries, adding the crime of bribery to
the list of offenses. The Guatemalan
treaty is new and covers all crimes
usually included in eXtradition treat.

along the Mississippi, a mile and a
quarter south of here, is caving, with

Missouri and Platte Rivers Causing Trouble
Through Nebraska.

Memphis, Tenn, March 1.-THE
Mississippi river is rising steadily at
this point, the gauge this morning
marking 35.2 feet. This is rise of
five-tenths of foot in the past twenty
five hours. 1t is believed the river will
reach the mark of 3S feet at Memphis.
Reports from Mississippi and Arkan-
sas today indicate the gravest appre-
hension prevails regarding the flood
situation. In some districts armed sen
tries are patrollng the levees. All
streams and rivers in Arkansas are
overflowing.
In North Memphis the food has al
ready begun encroaching at certain
points and it will take but a few
inches more to render work impossible
at many of the lumber industries in
that section. At Greenlaw and Second
streets, backwaters have reached the
later thoroughfare and occupants OF
cabins have been compelled to fly to
higher ground.
The steamer Georgia Lee arrived
from Cairo today and reports all land
ings to he in untoward condition. The

mented their forces and steamers are
carrying sacks of sand and other sup
plies to the more dangerous places.

At New Orleans,

New Orleans, March little river
is rising very slowly. The gauge to-
day marked 1874, a rise of only one
tenth in the past twenty-four hours.
The stage is still over foot under the
record. The most unfortunate condi-
tion at present is the continuance OF
rainy weather. This is having the eff
feet of softening the levees and all
Louisiana is praying for the return OF
sunshine. Six hundred men are al
work today at various points sacking
the weak points and raising the line OF
embankments. Thousands of sacks oi
sand are being distributed along the
river. Engineers report the levees be
tween Southport and Carrollton in an
excellent condition and able to stand
much greater strain than they have
thus far been subjected to. United
States engineer officials have promised
cooperation with authorities in carry
ing on the fight against the food. All

foot of leyee on the river and tribu
taries is under surveillance.
