MISSISSIPPI RISING.
Believed It Will Reach Highest Point
 Known at Memphis.

Memphis. Tenn, March 2.-In the past forty eight hours the river at Memphis has risen three-tenths of a foot according to the official gauge. which means that the water now stands at S4.2 stage, fOot and two-tenths above the danger line.
 The worst feature of the situation now is that there has been another rise in the Ohio, the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, and when this volume of water pours down the valley 1t is feared the river at this point and below will rise so high as to cause a disastrous flood.
 s. c. Emery, the local weather bureau official, said tonight: From the present outlook of water in sight it Is probable that the Memphis stage will equal or sx- ceed the highest known. The rise has been unprecedented and flood is com ing"
 Reports of distress are already coming in from points above and below this city and every dweller in the lowlands Is anx~ lous about the condition of the levees which the government engineers report to be in excellent shape. Since the last flood of any note these bulwarks have been strengthened and reinforced In every way po ssible.
 The river here. which extends many niles into Arkansas. was visited by thousands yesterday and today and steamers are making excursions over the lowlaHds.

This Theory of State in the Burdick
 Case.
 Buffalo, N. r.. March 2.-Mrs. Burdick. wife of D. L.. Burdick. who was mur- dered at his home here last Thursday night, and Mrs. Hull, her mother. were examined at considerable length early to- day at police station. where they were taken upon their return from Canastota, where they had attended the funeral of the murdered man.
 Mrs. Hull was first questioned by Dis trict Attorney Coatsworth and Assistant Superintendent of Detectives Cusack. She said she knew nothing of what had hap pened until she was called by the domes- tic in the morning. She heard no sounds in the night: heard nothing of any voice whatever and swoke in the morning ig- norant of any tragedy in the house.
 She denied positively that her relations with Mir. Burdick were unfriendly. and emphatically declared she believed no one in the household had anything to do with the crime. or knew of 1t until morning. Mrs. Burdick was next questioned at length as to what she could offer to throw light on the possible identity of the murderer, after which both women went back to the Ashland Avenue home. The District Attorney said after they had gone:
 We examined Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Burdick for the purpose of completing the examination of all those present in the house on the night the murder oo- cured and to ascertain from Mrs. Bur dick, If possible, who, in her judgment might have been actuated to commit such a crime'
 MT. Cusack said he was still of the opinion that the murderer Is a woman.

Senator Hanna has been appealed to by friends of pr. W. D. Crum. the negro named to be Collector of the Port of Charleston. s. C., to demand a record vote In the Senate on the question of the confirmation of the nomination He has refused the request on the ground that all of the remaining time of the session must be devoted to the consideration of matters of much greater national importance, and that such a m )tion as thls on his part would result in delay through a Demo- cratic hlibuster against the nomination
 Senators Ttllman and Clay have decid- ed to prevent vote on the nomination and it remains now to be seen whether the President will make good his threat to re-appont Crum in ;ase the Senate failed to act upon the adverse report of the Commerce Committee.

Extravaganoe Charged.

It is estimated that when the fifty-sev- enth Congress adjourns on Wednesday at noon, it will have appropriated during the two years of its existence. not less than two billion dollars.
 Despite the fact that much of this money has been set apart for much need ed internal Improvements, such as river and harbor works, public buildings. irri- gation projects, and the increase of the navy, the Democrats are ready to raise the charge of extravagance-
 Representative Bankhead, of Alabama. referring to the large total of the appro priations says;
 Tt means that the expenditures of the Government are far greater shan the growth of the country warrants. Of oourse, allowance must always be made for growth, but the de Jelopment is be- ing exceeded by the total of our dis bursements. I do not ;avor a chcesepar- ing policy, but think the appropriations of this Congress are far in excess of the amount they should be.
 With a aritf-for-rovenue only policy we could manage the affairs of the treasury much better. obviate the great surplus without injuring the State of our finances, and thus eliminate any chance for extrawaRanco."

 Dover, Del, March 2--J. Edward Ad- dicks began his struggle for a seat in the Senate in 1888 when the term of Ell Salisbury was about to expire. Although unknown to the politicians of Delaware he obtained some backing. but when the Republican Legislature met in January, 1888, the caucus nomination went to An thony Higgins. In 1892 Mr. Addicks again entered the Senatorial field. but the Democrats carried the State and George Gray was elected to the Senate. In 1894, when MT. Higgins's term was about to expire Addicks made his third essay for the Senatorishp. A protracted dead look ensued, lasting from January 14 un- til May g.
 Colonel Henry A. Dupont was formally elected by the House: but he actually lacked one vote of a majority Speaker Watson DemocraO of the Senate, and acting Governor of the State. declared the joint convention adjourned sine die without an electon-a position in which he was sustained by the Senate at Wash ington,
 From that time dates the split of the party into the two factions styled Union and Regular Republicans. Each faction put a State ticket in the feld In 1896, which threw the eleCuOn IO the DemO- crats and sent Richard R. Kenney to the Senate Addicks returned to the charge In 1898 when there was another deadlock
 Then came the great campaign of 1900 Add!cks was nominated by his follow CTS for both long and short terms. but the two seats remained thrilled
 Last year the two Republican factions united on a State ticket. which was elected When the banoting began Jan- uary 20 of th.s year, Addi7ks again turned up as a candidate for both terms the contest ending to day.
 James Frank Alice was a9rH ia Do- yer 46 years ago. He succeeded his fata. CT as a watc-hmaker and Jeweier, which business he carries on iu Dover.
 After the appearance uf J. Edward Addicks In Delaware politics in lSsY, Mir Alice became actively interested in po- ut!caI matters and closely identified with the Addicks wing of the Republican par ty. He was elected to the State Senate on the Union Republican ticket in 1898 and 1902. each time overcoming the op- position of Democratic and regular Re- publican candidates. Mir Alice is also associated in business with Mir Addicks and is president of the Bay State Gas Company of Delaware and the Staten Island Brick Company

Democrats are Caustic.

Another check was given to the Demo- cratic filtbuster in the House of Repre- sentatives this morning by the option of a rule which will permit the adoption of conference reports with but one roll call and i've minutes debate on a side.
 The rule was denounced by the Demo- era ts in severe terms.
 The occasion was improved by the three most causttc Democratic speekers-John Sharp Williams of Mississippi. D. E. Armond, of Missouri, and Oscar W. Un- derwOod, of Alabama-to explain why the Democrats were filibustering
 The speech of Mir. Williams was re- garded by some as perhaps the most caustic and witty short speech delivered during the session.
