WASHINGTON LETTER.

President RooseveIt's Panama
policy has been severely arraigned
by Senator Morgan, who accuses
him of failure to obey the orders
of the Senate, of completely in the
Panama revolution, of utter disre-
gard for the rights of Columbia
and of personal ambition to glori,
fy his own administration.
The report of the Committee on
Committees was presented to the
Senate and among other changes
it announced that Senator Hanna
had been given the craftsmanship
of the Committee on Interoceanic
Canals, which had been held for
many years by Senator Morgan.
The Senator from Alabama then
rose and read his speech which
took up the greater part of the
sessions of the Senate. Before he
finished he asked the privilege of
continuing from his seat, saying
under his breath, "my old limbs are
getting as shaky under me as the
Republican party must be in the
presence of truth" With fire
quent and sarcastic use Of the Pres
ident's favorite words, "clean"
and "decent," and referring to
Minister VarilIa as "some one
from Panama." the aged Senator
declared, Hereafter, Novembe 3,
1903, will be saints day, to be
celebrated by all fillibusters who
destroy government in the interest
of peace" ''Let us send out a
round robin from Congress and
inform the President that it is
about time to provide for the
health and safety of the country"
Saying that President Mckinley
favored the Nicaraguan route, he
continued, "But he is dead and a
dew Richmond comes upon the
field; and he seems not to feel the

constructing the canal. "Has the

FLOOD VICTIMS RELIEVED.
Residents of Marion and Surround ing Territory are Given
 Assistance.

A slight fall in the Mississippi
 from Cairo to Memphis has relieved the situation in the flooded district in eastern Arkansas to a certain ex- tent and it is thought that the dan
 ger of other breaks in the levee is past. The water continues to pour
 through the breaches in the embank-
 ment at Trices Landing and Random
 Shot, but it is not thought that the
 water in the flooded section of Crit
 tenden county will show any further
 rise. The residents of Marion and
 the surrounding country, which has
 been affected most seriously, have
 uation is pronounced by officials of
 the levee board to be satisfactory. In
 compliance with orders from Presi-
 dent Killough, of the St. Francis
 levee board, a large barge was sent
 through the crevasse at Trice's land
 ing on the 21st to the aid of the i'm
 prisoned citizens of Marion The
 steamer Hugo was dispatched the with instructions to render assistance at any point in the flooded district where it might be found to be need ed. A train on the Frisco penetrated the flooded district and reached Ma rion. All the persons who desired to leave the town were taken in this train, but most of the residents re- fused to leave their homes. The serious break in the levee at Ran dom Shot. The embankment gave way at that point under the terrific pressure of the swollen river and through a crevasse nearly a quarter of a mile in length the water has been pouring in upon the land be- hind the levee A vast area has been completely inundated, but the damage will be less owing to the fact that the water which flows through this breach as well as that at Trice's landing flows into the St. Francis riv- CT and is carried back into the Mis- sissippi through that stream
 Reports from Pecan Point indicat- ed that the levee at that point and a short distance north, was still in grave danger. A large force of workmen and engineers has been at work night and day strength ening and increasing the height of the levee at that point. There was also reported to be serious danger of a break at Leland.
 A telegram was received from Ma rion asking for aid for the flood refu- gees at that place. Gov. Davis wired Secretary of War Root asking for 100 tents and a telegram was received stating that the tents would be for warded immediately to Marianna.
 The breach in the levee at Trice's Landing, which was made several days ago, has not been widened to any appreciable extent. Dispatches from Arkansas City state that the river has risen steadily at that point but that the levee is intact. Orders were issued prohibiting the running of freight trains on the Iron Noun tain tracks which run over the levee.
 According to advices from Helena, the river had shown a steady rise at that point until Sunday. A large force of men is at work strengthen ing the levee, and armed guards are the embankment day and night.

About year ago 1 was so run down that I had to take to my bed, and became weaker and weaker. A friend advised me to try Peruna, and l have great reason to be grateful, for in two weeks was out of bed and in month l was perfectly well, and 1 now find that my health is much more robust than formerly so that I take Pe- runa once or twice month and keep well. <" Louise Mahon.
 Peruna is such perfect specific for each case that when patients have once used it they can never be induced to quit it until they are permanently cured. It begins to relieve the disagre ble symptoms at once. The backache ceases, the trembling knees are strengthened, the appetite restored, the digestion made perfect, the dull headache is stopped and the weaken ing drains are gradually cured. These results certainly follow a course of treatment with Peruna.

ALL THE PARTIES AGREE
Outlook for Settlement of the Irish
Question Is Better Than Ever,

SutiOoH TOT S~ettlerncnt OF the irish
Question Is Better Than Ever.
London. Feb. 24-As a result of inter-
views with the duke of Abercorn, Lord
,Dunraven, John Redmond and others,
The Associated Press is able to announce
authoritatively that the following is the
situation today as regards a plan to
finally settle the Irish land question:
All interested parties, nationalists,
u%nionists, landlords and tenants, are
now for the first time in the history Of
Ireland in an agreement upon the lines
of the Dublin conference. They have
also joined forces in bringing pressure
on the government to make Secretary
Wyndham's forthcoming bill agree
with the recommendations of the
conference. and all indications
point to the bill c%onceding
these demands. It will be introduced
| n parliament at the end of March,
and If oassed will accomplish what
Redmond and Dunraven agree in say
Ing will be one of the most extraor-
binary peaceful revolutions ever eff
fected." If Wyndham. for lack of
or other causes, fails to meet
these views in conference he will have
on his hands, to quote Redmond, ian
Ireland such as the world has never
seen" In this view such a strong sup
porter of the government as the duke
of Abercorn concurs.
