wheat land in Illinois has been inundated by
the Ohio River since Saturday.
The river here is 4l.2 feet and rising. The

TRADE WITH SOUTHERN NEIGHBORS.

With representatives in attendance
from almost all the independent coun-
tries OF this hemisphere, the Interna-
tional Customs Congress Of American
Nations, which is now in session in
New York, must be admitted to be,
in itself considered, a distinctly i'm
portant and impressive Gathering. Yet
nobody seems to be paying much at
tention TO it. and probably but few are
even aware of its existence.
The explanation is, no doubt, that
similar gatherings heretofore have
proved Of so little practical value that
no one can now have much confidence
in the fitness of the means employed TO
the objects in view. However able and
earnest the Congress may be, there is
no general belief that it viii do more
than spread on paper q deal OF plati-
tudfu0Us language and then vanish into
thin air, leaving no more traces behind
than have its various predecessors that
we're called for the furtheranee of the
same objects.

worthy ones and important. They are,

Baroness Fretieh, grand mistress OF

Of Saxony. seems to have played a very
important role in the unhappy events
Of Dresden, which eliminated in the
scandal at Geneva. She was appointed
without any regard to the wishes OF the
crown princess, and from the very out
set seems TO have regarded herself
rather as the duenna than as attend
ant She appears TO have considered
herself responsible for the crown prin-
cess strict observance of the laws OF
the Saxon court etiquette. and to have
behaved with such a glazing absence of
tact a. to become positively intoIeraoIe
to the high-spirited crown princess.
Again and again the latter appealed
to her husband to ct rid of the woman.
But although he frequently promised
her to do so, he was always in the end
obliged to confess to her that his eff
forts in the matter had been fruitIsss
owing to the opposition Of his sister,
Princess Mathilde, who disliked The
crown princess. and also OF his father,
the present King, who is completely
subject to NathiIde's influence.

Won First Victory.

The Democrats Of the House won their
first victory of The session Thursday,
and in consequence were much eiated.
OF course IN order for them 20 do so
it was necessary that they have the sup
port of small number of Republicans,
and this support they were successful
in obtaining. The bill before the House
was the one reported by the Committee
on InsuIar Affairs. establishing the gold
standard in the Philippines. and proyid-
ing for q special system OF coinage. It
was vigorously supported by the House
leaders, several of whom included
Messrs. Cannon. Payne. Hit. Hepburn
and Tawney. who are members Of the
Insular Affairs Committee. as well as by
Mr.. Cooper, who is chairman Of the con-
mittee. 8lr. Jones Of Virginia, the rank

Opened Crown Princess Mail.

Of course, the baroness was not left
in ignorance Of the sentiments Of the
crown princess toward her. She rem
dered herself more disagreeabIe than
ever to the princess. spied on all her
actions. and, finally, reaped her reward
by obtaining possession Of letter ad-
dressed by Andre Giron 10 the crown
princess. This missiye, which arrived
by mail, she took upon herself to open,
with the object Of confirming her sus-
picions. and thereupon at once submit
ted it to Princess Nathilde and to King
George, who took it upon themselves to
open the eyes OF the crown prince.
It is worthy Of note that in all the
condolences impaired by the crown
princess to newspaper representatives at
Geneva. she had not one word Of com
plant or abuse for her husband, but she
does speak bitterly about the grand
mistress Of her household, the Baroness
Fretich, declarin- her to be responsible
for much, il not all, the Unhappiness OF
her life at Dresden. Whatever attacks
were made upon the character Of she
crown prince at Geneva came from

Measles in the New Palace.

Measles has just broken out among the
Kaiser's children, Prince Oscar and
Prince Augustus William being stricken
Herewith at the new palace at Pots
dam. This. Of course. greatly interferes
with the briIliancy Of the court festivi-
ties at Berlin this winter, as the En-
press viii take no part therein, having
remained behind to nurse her children.
The Emperor is singularIy unfortunate
with regard to the Berlin court season.
which lasts from Christmas to the be
ginning Of Lent. Nearly every year since
his accession TO the throne something
has. occurred to mar its briIliancy eth
CT in the shape Of mourning OF illness Of
the Empress or Of his children, and this
winter is no exception to the rule.

New York Interests.

On the other hand Senator Depew. who
IS a member Of the Committee en- Com
merce. is using his efforts to prevent ths
bill from being reported He represents
New York. which it is true. is long
distance from Texas by land OF sea, but
New York capital to a large extent Is
interested in Sabine Pass. and has made
many improvements there. and hence
some New Workers are extremely de-
sirous to have that town instead Of
Port Arthur made the port Of entry. The
question now comes. as Senator Bailey
would put it, as to whether New York
is to have more influence in saying what
shall be done in Texas than Texas her
self Senator Bailey is inclined 10 do
little legislative holding up after the
plan Of Senator QUAY on the Statehood
matter unless his measure Is reported
and given consideration. As result
this little struggle between two insig-
nifcant towns away of in Texas is in
a measure assisting TO prevent action
upon a number Of important matters
which should be disposed Of by the Sen
ate before the end of the present ses-
sion.
