Reports of Homes Destroyed and Acres of Good Land Ruined. Bauxswicx, Mo., May 9.—For several days the waters of the Grand and Missouri rivers have been rising so rapidly it was feared the bar south of this place, which has Iately become valuable farming land, would be flooded. The fears have now been realized, the crisis coming yesterday, and all day was spent in rescuing the inhabitants and their stock. Last evening at 7 o'clock the ferry boat was broken from its cable by drift while loaded with people and horses and went floating down the river. It has not been heard from. One woman fell in the river while jumping from ferry boat into a skiff. She was saved from drowning by Cupt. Strutman, who had to go to the rescue of the frightened pas. sengers. Dozens of homes are destroyed and hundreds of acres of good land covered floods. There is d r of the Missour rent cl to its old channel, which will en- tirely destroy the bar which was formed about twenty years ago by the channel changing. Anxaxsas City, Ang., May 9.—The river has been stationary since 7 o'clock yesterday morn- ing. The levees in front of the city are ina somewhat critical condition. It is thought, AMERICAN SHIPPING.

The Trading Was Without Feature and the Market Was Dull. New Yorx, May 9.—The trading this morn- ing was featureless. Only 127,000 shares were sold in the two hours to midday. The course of prices was irregular. Rock Island and Omaba common were the weakest stocks, at one time showing declines of 134 and 1 per cent respect- ively. At noon prices were irregularly and slightly changed from Saturday's. At this writ- ing (1:30 p.m.) the market is dull.

The delegation is instructed for no one, but it is generally supposed that its members will make a strong fight to induce the western states to unite on Alger. They have no second choice, except to do the best possible for western inter- esta and fight Harrison until the last.

He said that the report was unanimous and that he had been instructed to move its present consideration. He made that motion, and it was egreed to. The bill having been read in full Mr. Frye said that, although it was general in {ts provisions, two ships only were to be admitted to American registry; they were to be excluded from the coastwise trade, and might be used by the government (by charter or purchase) in case of war. That,be said, was the taht extent of the bill. The two ships to be admitted were the City of New York and the City of Paris, the two largest ships today in the world, since the Great Eastern was broken up; the two stanchest ebips in the world, and he might say the two fastest, except the Ma- jestic, bad crossed the ocean in eighteen min- ‘utes less time. THE SDIPS DESCRIBED. Mr. Frye went on to describe the two ships as follows: The City of New York and City of Paris are 856 feet long, 525 feet on the water line, have & tonnage 10,499 tons; they are twin screws, both sete of ‘engines aet- ing “independently and separately, with an enormous area of rudder, so that their ma- neuvering power is not excelled by any man-of- war afloat and equaled by very few. They compartments Fak with water snd Seating consi more tonnage. They have been y em bey and built, uot only to be the finest nger ships afloat and the safest, but also to be the most efficient commerce destroyers and cruisers. They have frequently crossed the Atlantic, exceeding aspeed of twenty knots for the whole distance, taking good and bad weather. They havea remarkable coal endur- ance capable of keeping at cea for seventy-two days und steaming ten knots, which is « valuable qualification as a cruiser.’ They are already tted for sixteen rifled cannon and they were built under the inspection and according to the design of the British admiralty to the end that they might be efficient cruisers, ‘Their boilers and engines are divided into separate compart- ments, so that the steamer could never be disabled by the flooding of one or more com- partments; the boilers are protected from ram- ming or from shot by the coal bunkers on either side, in water-tight compartments, and their engines are protected in the same ‘manner by water-tight compartments, which can be filled with any suitable material when being fitted as cruisers. Their rudders and stearing gear are under water and thus protected from shot. They are the only merchantmen afloat de- signed to mect all the above-described im- portant qualifications as cruisers. THEI VALUE AS WAR VESSELS. Mr. Frye went on tostate that these two ships could escape from any war vessel afloat and could overtake and destroy any merchant ship afloat. They had cost about two million dollars each. The two vessels that were to be built under the provisions of the bill would cost about $2,225,000 each. Within the last year, knowing that the government was looki anxiously toward these two vessels at the time the Chilean troubles were threatening, he had sent this bill to the Becretary of the Navy with a request that he should communicate his opinion to the gommittee on commerce. THE BRITISH LION GROWLING. Mr. Frye, continuing, said that there were in- timations in the newspapers that the British lion was growling somewhat at theprospect of losing those two ships. But it had no oceasion to growl because, when those ships were built, roposition was made that they should be rate of $105,000 a year. But the British government had said to their owners that in case of trouble the United States: — was liable to for these hips and to admit them to American registry, and that there ought to be some penalty’ in the event that the owners yielded to that demand. The owners asked what penalty the British govern- ment desired to exact, and the reply was that the 105,000 s year should be returned each year, so that there ehould be always one year's pay behind, and that that $105,000 should be t! malty exacted if those ships ever went under American registry. So that, Mr. Frye said, the British govern- ment had nothing to say if the bill became a law, The penalty would be paid and that was the end of it.

A Renewed Effort to Get = Vote Causes Concern Among Democrats, ‘The anti-silver democrats, and some who are Rot anti-silver, but do not want the question to come up now to divide the party, are @ little anxigus about the effort that Mr. Pierce " is making to have a time fixed by the committee om rules for a vote on the free coinage silver bill. Mr. Pierce, who has again started the circulation of a petition asking the commit- tee to take the action the free coinage men de- sire, claims tohave 105 signatures and there may be some danger of his getting the rest, though it does not seem probable that he will, Itis said that a number of the signatures have been secured by the statement that it is not the purpose to present the petition to the committee in time for action this session, but that it will be publiehed so as to give the ‘sign- ers a chance to indicate to their constituents that they have been doing all in their power for free silver. It may be relied on, however, that if » suf- ficient number of siguatures are scoured the petition will be presented to the committee on rules and « demand will be made for action, MR. RATNER'S VIEWS. Mr. Rayner of Maryland, who has been very active in opposition to any action on silver, said today that he did not believe that the silver men would succeed in getting the free coinage Dill up agnin: but if they should pass it throurh the House the democrats wi have littie chance of success in the coming presidential election. ‘WHAT MR. O'NEIL SAYS, Mr. O'Neil (Mase.), who was one of the most effective workers in bringing about the failure of the bill before, and whose plan of opposition succeeded, said today that he did not think the bill would’ come up again this session. “The alliance in Mr. Wilson's district,” he said, “have just indorsed his course in the ng | silver matter, and you may have noticed that in the west the people have shown # general in- disposition to bring silver in to divide | attention: with tarift -s 4 Assue at the coming election. It is not @question of whether or not they favor free coinage, but whether or not they want to dis tract aitention from the tariff and di party on another issue. ‘The western republi- cans areas much in favor of free silver as are democrats in the sume section. It is thercf, not desirable to make a party issue of it national campaign, and I do not believe that a majority of the demoerats in this House are in favor of doing this by the passage of thé free coinage bill at this semion.”” He said he thought the House would ict through the appropria tion bills and would adjoura by the 12th of e iJ ly. MR, HOLMAN ON THE SITUATION, Mr. Holman said that the important thing was to get through with the appropriation bills, and that his idea was that nothing else should be thought of until that was done. He did not think the House could afford, this Inte in the session, to lay aside the appropriation bills and tuke up something else. = aplsaieniniineias ATTORNEY GENERAL QUESTIONED.
