REORGANIZATION IMPROVED.
BusinesB ih Michigan Cities Still at a
itt's Standstill.

SAGINAW, Mich, March 30.-The flood
situation here is somewhat improved to-
day. the river gauges showing decrease
In the water level of from one to four
inches. In the business district of the
city theswFter dropped in proportion dur
ing the night, but business Is still at a
standstffi Iahd the retail trade is as de-
moralizedz as before.
At Milwaukee, where 1t was reported
that people were in dire necessity for
food stuffs, it was learned here today
that supplies can be had there and that

Receding Water Reveals Damage.
. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March 3d.
Grand river has=gone down eighteen
inches during the past twenty-four hours
and the greatest flood danger and dam
age seem to have passed. The city engi-
neer has succeeded in damming the Tur-
ner street subway, thus checking the wa
ter which has been running from the
river over the west side. AS the water
recedes 1t is seen that the damage is fully
as great as the maximum estimates
made earlier. Immediate distress seems
to have been fully relieved.

Mr.. German also called attention to the
promise OF Mr.. Penrose that the resolution
should be favorabiy reported. but. notwfth-
standing this promise had been made two
months ago. the resolutions VIII sleep Ia
committee. In strong contrast was the
speedy action on the appropriation bill. II
had come to the committee on Monday, and
1t Is now here to be passed Immediately. he
said, and added: why this haste If there
is nothing to conceal?"
Mr.. German referring to recent incident,
said that that report. In his opinion. was
for the purpose of transferring the atten-
ton of the public from men who abused
their trusts In the Post Office Department
to Congress. and to men In Congress who
were attending to their routine duties as
Senators and members.
At this point Senator German diverted
his reamrks to another channel. He said
the impression has gone abroad In recent
years that Congress and the legislatures
are made up of corrupt politicians and
eontended that the corruption in govern
ment comes from the elective bodies In the
states and the United States. He said that
eminent is wrong. They distrust the cleo
tive body. They would concentrate all the
power in one head. in car.
Haven't we reached the point, Mr.. Presi-
dent" cried Senator German. when an
other branch of the government is ready to
take all the power?"
He asked If it were not a fact that the
present session of Congress was farce.
He said that the desire for power in the
executive Office was growing too rapidly.
He referred to the order giving pensions
to soldiers who had become disabled by
reason of age and said that 1t had not
been necessary to come to Congress for
this. BY simple order the President told
these veterans that they should have it..
They have knocked at the doors Of Con-
gress for it. but it was not necessary that
they should wait.
He said he did not complain of the
amount involved, but of the principle. He
had voted for every pension bill that had
come before the Senate. The power of pat
ronage he declared was great, but this
power assumed by. the President was still
greater.

Some democrats have attempted to fix eX-
travagance upon the President in White
House expenses, and Mr.. Benton evidently

view. as he is member of the subcommit-
tee which drew up the bill.
Representative Hemenway in reply stated
that the President had informed him that
the estimate of $4,000 had been sent to
Congress without his knowledge by the of

ILL WIND THAT PROVED ILL.
Reveals Man Who Deserted His Wit
Fifteen Years Ago.

CHICAGO, March 3O-The same cyclone
that made James McIninery homeless in
Indiana harbor last week found him a
new home in the Indiana penitentiary.
Justice moving almost as fast as the
cyclone itself has decreed that he serve
five years at hard labor for bigamy.
Had 1t not been for the storm which de-
stroyed McIninery's house and left him
with slight injuries his whereabouts
might never have become known to the
wife who has just brought about his con-
viction.
Mrs. Olivine Anglais McIninery of Chi
cago, who claims that McIninery deserted
her in Hamilton, Ont, fifteen years ago,
CHANGED to see his name published in the
list of injured by the storm.
The result was the Identification and
arrest of Mcfninery, who. two years ago,
was married to a girl of the suburbs.

buyers had grown fat under the present
system. and that. as was to have been ex-
pected. they had opposed the bill, while 1t
had been uniformly commended by the
farmers organizations.
Expected to Be Keynote.
Mr.. German then launched into a general
review of the administration for the pur-
pose of showing that the President had ex-
ercised autocratic powers and that Con-
gress had failed to exercise that degree OF
supervision in matters of public expend-
iture that has characterized 1t in the past

THEIR COURSE UNDETERMINED.
House Managers Still Considering the
swayne Impeachment Matter.

The House managers are still undeter-
mined what course to pursue with the
Swayne Impeachment resolution, or even
when to bring 1t up. There Is said to be
strong disposition among some repub-
licans to test the sense Of the House upon
a proposition to recommit the resolution to
the committee. II nine signatures are OBJ
tanned to the minority report motion win
be made In the House to recommit the reso-
luton.
Some republicans think that majority
of the House cannot be obtained for the
impeachment of Judge Swayne on the face
of the showing made by the majority and
minority reports. After the sundry civil
bill is out Of the way the House managers
will probably reach a decision upon line
of action to be followed.

Hawaii Dissatisfied.

The Hawaiians were led to accept
annexation by dreams of commercial
greatness and general prosperity to
follow it. But they have not followed
1t, and annexation is six years old.
Gov. George C. Carter and Health
Commissioner Cooper alike tell a tale
of woe. Mr.. Cooper says the income
Of imports has been taken from the
islands to be swallowed up in Wash
ington, and the islanders can bring in
ers within reach Governor Carter
says the land laws of the United
States do not ut Hawaii because they
forbid the renting of government lands
for period longer than five years, and
Hawaiian sugar crop cannot be
grown in much less than four years.
No one desires to rent land for five
years. Besides, TIE harbor of Homo
lulu has not been dredged by the gov
eminent. and it is filling up.
What have we gained? An empire
has been established on the ruins of
the republic in plain defiance of the
constitution by such annexations as
Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. Not one of them is an adj
vantage commercially speaking. Not
one of them is free from discomfort.
All are sore over annexation, including
the mainland.
The colonial dependence of the re-
publican party, especially the Philip
pines, were freely discussed by Judge
Parker in his acceptance speech, and
they should be freely discussed during
the campaign. 1t is a subject that
needs a great deal of ventilation. The
lingo spirit that grew out of the war
with Spain should be critically exam
ined and the public mind fully en-
lightened. Let the fact that we have
benefited neither ourselves nor the
islanders annexed be made known. 1t
is not too late to stop the acquisition
of distant dependencies, nor is 1t too
late to give freedom in some form
to those we have. Japan would be
glad to take over the Philippines, and
that nation knows how to render is
lands in the Far East prosperous
Formosa is as prosperous as the Phil
ippines are the reverse.
