YOU MUST TELL

Washington, Mar. 14.-The nation.
alty and mother tongue Of all per-
sons enumerated for the next CEN
sus was provided for today in bill
passed by the senate. After consid-
erable objection to recording the
race of persons enumerated for the
census the provision was left out of
the present law, but upon demand of
a large number of citizens Of for
eign birth it's reinstatement was de-
cided upon.
The senate also passed bill pro-
viding for an election by the people
of Hawaii on the subject of prohibi-

same time pathetic scenes, as the res
idents of the fats were forced to aban'
don their homes at the rising of the
waters that crept steadily u9 from TIVE
sides.
All along the river as far as the eye
could reach, was a dense and broken
expanse of Dirty, grinding, rolling ice
A little distance south OF the bridge
the ice moved slowly downward, but
the gorge held Said below and there
was no sign OF movement of the ics
mass. And as the water came down
+. ON above, the stage Of water in the
bottoms steadily increased. At one OF
two places along the shore, the ice
broke through the thin hedge of will
lows and underbrush and was swept
across the bottom lands with all the
force of the curren of the stream.
About some Of the houses, while the
water was approaching from the south
rough he sere grass and anderbrush
appearing here and here in shining
and shimmering patches, another
stream of water curled in from the
west, and had the water not risen &c
gradually the approach Of some OF the
people might have been cut of. AS II
was they had time to haul away theil
;belongigs, and then stand and see ,the
waters rise gradually and threaten tc
enter the abandoned houses.

huge elevator reg that was swept away
from the warehouse at the river land
ing, was carried slowly down stream
moving at the rate of half mile in an
hour, showing the slow movement OF
the upper ice. The dark mass looked
like one of the rive steamboats, for "a
time, until its nature could be discern
ed with a glass. It moved down tC
point about a mile below the bridge
and then lodged in the mass of chan
mel ice and staid there.
The movement of the ice began Sun
day morning, and for a time it seem.
ed as though the channel would be
cleared without flooding the bottom
lands. But the ice was extremely
heavy and the mass of it lodged at the
bend below the city and then great
cakes piled up on one another until
gorge was formed, and more ice was
piled back of it for miles.
At the bridge the stage of water
showed about eight inches below the

A discussion of the best grade at
which to lay crosswalks this spring
was had and it seemed to be the con-
census of opinion that they should be
laid at the present street level wheth-
7r that level be the proper grade or
not, and later, when the streets are
all brought to grade, then the cross
walks can be raised or lowered as
may be necessary. This will do away
with the present submerged cross
walks.
The meeting was then adjourned to
next Monday evening.

distance up the river, bearing the
first official greeting to Khartum's
distinguished guest. The sirdar's
staff officers were taken aboard and
when the steamer with the British

rounding the former president in tho

in khaki uniform anc wore a white

For several hours the Dal tied up

occupied himselfhin answering hun

which had accumulated for him. All
obs ervers remarked his fitness and
among them were those who had
noted in Col. Roosevelt when he left
New York year ago, the effect OF
the strain of long and strenuous
term Of Office. From these effects he
has now completely recovered. and
although apparently the hardships
which he underwent in the wilds Of
Africa have not reduced his flesh to
any appreciable degree, he looks to

With the highest stage of water at
the bridge that has been recorded foE
twenty-three years. the muddy waters
of the Missouri river crept steadily
over the bottom lands south Of the
city all day yesterday, advancing con-
tinuously and gradually like the ad-
vance OF an army. Early In the morn
ing, from the gorge of immense Ice
foes south Of the city, reaching over
a distance of several miles, the water
backed over the low lands, and the
stage Of water increased during the
day until at o'clock last evening
there was depth of six or eight feet
of water over the lowest lands of the
river bottoms, and a depth OF eighteen
inches or two feet over the lands inn
mediately south of the railroad tracks.
The whole bottom lands bore the ap-
pearance Of an angry and muddy sea,
bearing on it's bosom immense does OF
ice, tree stumps, branches and debris
Of various sorts, All along the upper
bench, a crowd sof interested people
stood during the day and watched the
advance of the waters. And while the
waters advanced from the south, the
water broke over the banks Of the
river west of'sthe city and crept in
with a flank movement until the water
advanced over the river bottoms from
both south and west. ..a
Residents OF the low lands M made
preparations early in the day to move,
in case the water rose enough to
threaten their homes, and all yester-
day afternoon they were busy packing
household goods and furniture that
would be injured by the water, and
hauled it of. In a number of cases,
residents Of the low lands remained in
their houses, until the water had
reached a depth of foot or more
about the porches and doorways. Then
drays and hacks were called into SER
vice to bring them out, and when the
last Of them were brought away the
horses that hauled the vehicles were
belly deep in the water, which nearly
came in upon the bottoms of the veh-
icles that were used to transport them.
Livestock was removed from the
barns early in the afternoon. In a
number of cases flocks of chickens
were driven out Of hen coops that
were threatened with submergence,
only to squawk vigorously and fly back
again through the muddy waters.
There were many amusing, and at the

shall be glad to have them brought.
Care will be taken of them all

ira are busy rehearsing. Beautiful

time With the pastor of the church

BASE BALL
Maple Syrup League Draws Big
Crowds in Opening Gamess


| The Maple Syrup League, COM
prising at present three teams-the
Golf Avenue Tigers, High Street
Bulldogs. and South Street Butter
flies-have played four games to a
total attendance of about 700, and
the outlook is bright for successful
season in this hitherto base ball-less
town. The umpires officiating to
date are Bean. Miller, Mower and
Farrelly. and the staff may be in
creased, as the JOB is considerable
tax on their mental and physical
powers.
Thursday evenings game was the
best played one of the week, the
South Street Butterflies subduing
the Bulldogs in four exciting innings,
2 to L. The cast of characters was
somewhat changed. Dumas going
into the box for the Butterflies and
Fitzmorris and Mitchell doing the
battery work for the Bulldogs. UNI
pire Farrelly.
The first game of the series last
week Friday evening put the crowd
on edge for more of that kind of
base ball. Passed balls were plenti-
full, there were some errors and no
end of enthusiasm. Pitchers Wyatt
and Prior were pretty evenly
matched, and hits were rare; the
batsmen had to get base in other
ways. Pleasant got into the game
after some years retirement, and
acquitted himself finely. Score.
Tigers 3, Bulldogs l.
The South Street Butterflies played
the winners Tuesday evening. There
was another big crowd and more
enthusiasm. The Tigers had the
best of it until the final inning. |
when the Butterflies gathered a |
few runs and tied the score. Dark
ness was coming on, and by agree
ment, The Age understands, the
game ended, and was called tie,
though under the rules the score |
would revert to even innings, as the
Tigers were entitled to another turn
at the bat. Scorer Eaton, however,
holds strictly to the rules and gives
the Tigers the game.
The tie was played off Wednes-
day night. the Butterflies winning
6 to 5. Batteries, Wyatt and McFar-
lane, Liberty and Bean.
A spectacular double play, Mack
enzie to Taylor to McFarlane, was
the feature of Tuesdays game.
Also the way Shortstop Peter Marsh
covered the ground was a surprise
and delight to the spectators.
The Maple Syrup League is plan
ming double header for Benning-
ton Battle day. August 16, preceded
by parade of the teams led by the
