May Abandon Town.

May Abandon Town.
Evansville, Ind, March 11.-A re-
port from Shawneetow;n, ILL.,, is to
the effect that the. people there are
debating the possibility of remov-
ing from the city with their per-
sonal property and then opening the
levee and allowing the river to flood
the town, thus doing away with the
great danger of disaster that now
threatens the place, which is situat-
ed on low ground and protected by
large levee, which the people fear
may break should the river rise
much more. A few years ago the
levee broke at Shawneetown and the
place was inundated and scores of
people drowned. The story cannot
be confirmed, but those who know
the situation of the city believe it
true.
Locally there is no danger, as the
city is on high ground, but the sur
rounding country is inundated. The
people were given ample warning
and saved themselves and their NOV
able property and stock. The gauge
Tuesday morning marked 42.2 and
rising, with steady fall of rain.
The rise has been more than half a
foot since Monday.

gorge at Ionia breaks, if a threat
ened rain proves heavy. Reports from

discuss the document, when Senator
Allison moved an executive session.
During the last congress Senator
Cullom was very careful to see that
the treaty was not discussed except
in executive session. and he showed
signs of embarrassment as he
promptly acquisced in the motion to
close the doors, which was done eight
minutes after converting. The other
senator's enjoyed the joke at the ex-
pense of the Illinois senator.
When the senate went into execu-
tive session Senator Morgan was not
present, but he soon came in with a
big roll of papers under his arms,

up and talking at length upon the
failure of the copy sent to the SEN
ate to embody the Spooner law as
provided for in the preamble to the
