The statement, r. Pettigrew said, was untrue in every 4 and, in proof of its falsehood, he had hae letter from Mr. Newberry stating that Mr. Pet- tigrew had never made improper efforts to ob- tain favorable action on the Deadwood public building bill and had never at any time, in con- versation with him, referred to the fact that he was chairman of the quadro-centennial com- mittee. ‘TRE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL. The consideration of the naval appropriation bill was resumed, and Mr. Cockrell continued his argument against the amendment by the Senate committee on appropriations for the construction of one sea-going const-line battle ship, one harbor defense double-tur- ret ship of the monitor type, four a om boats and «ix torpedo ta, ‘MR. BUTLER'S REPLY. Mr. Butler replied to Mr. Cockrell. He at- tributed the exhausted condition of the treasury to the enormous appropriations for pensions, and said that, on espe < those ery pd appropriations, every other department psi ony had to be pruned and trimmed and cutdown. He confessed that he did not know how that was to be corrected. He could understand perfectly well how Senators on the other side, representing northern states, would hesitate to’ antagonize pension sys- tem. He could understand bow they always had hanging over their heads what was known ws the soldier vote, and | he pelle fore appreciate their hesitancy in the cobeotion of those oe pee for pensions, even if they could be properly and justly and fairly reduced. Still he was in- clined to leave the settlement of that question ‘to Senators on the other side. Replying to Mr. Cockrell’s remark about seizing Canada, Mr. Butler remarked that that wu i — not be so easy as some ‘sup i lend tomy Kod tes Section seo of Se American people at her mercy. She had almost aline of fire the coast of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and could within the shortest space of time turn ber cruisers on the coast- wise trade of the American and destroy it, inflicting a loss beyond computation in dol- lars and cents. It was, therefore, folly for this country to glorify itself in its power and strength and prowess end aggressiveness. THE HOUSE. Mr. Bowers (Cal.), rising to a question of privilege, said that yesterday the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Otis) had sent to the clerk's desk and had read an affidavit of the board of supervisors of Tulare county, Cal., to the effect that there was a determined con- iracy to crush colonists and rob them” of’ their lands This ‘he considered to be a reflection on his representa- tive capacity. But the 5} aiid not think so, and Mr. Bynum (Ind.) making the point that no question of privilege was presented Mr. Bowers was not permitted to proceed. THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Lester of Georgia in the chair) on the sundry civil bill. ‘The chair today wustained the point of order raised against the free coinage amendment pro- posed to the sundry civil bill by Mr. Bartine (Ney.) The latter appealed from the decision. ‘The ruling of the chair against the free coin- age amendment was sustained —137-35. t y point of order is pending. —° The House District committee has had such hard luck lately in getting ‘THE GUNDAY ICE BILL. At the meeting today, however, the committee decided to report favorably one bill. This was H.

Sr. Lovrs, Mo., May I8.—Instead of improw- ing the local flood situation grows more serious with each hour, The water is still rising, with no immediate prospects of a fall. Rains the past forty-eight hours, with more threatened, will keep the river from falling, but the river at 400 square mil the from 2 to 20 feet. depth, families in this area have left their homes, with little prospect of an early return. ‘The main suffering is in the American bot- toms and on Missouri Point, As an instance of the suffering in the former loclity there are nearly 500 people gathered on the bluffs, for county, — iinois, teen arked to supply food and shelter. Missouri Point, the land Iving like triangle between the Missouri and Mississippi, « triangle of land twenty-seven miles on the river sides by twelve at the base.is covered with water and every liv- ing soul driven to higher land, Boscheriown, three miles north of St. Charles, is all under water, In St. Louis county, west of this city, an im- mense amount of damage has been done to the farming lands by back water from the rivors, and crops are ruined over hundreds of acres, Further up the river on thut side the flood increasing in E Venice ng over the Alton, Big Four and Wabash tracks near Numeoke and adding to the quantity already there. Armed guards are protecting a dyke be- tween Madison and Venice to prevent ite being cut to relieve Brooklyn at the expense of the other towns. In East St.Louis there is nothing new in the situation, though trains arrive badly crippled by the high water. Omaua, Nuw., May 18.—The eastern ap- Pfosch te the big Union Pacitic bridge over the imeouri river was washed out last night, and there are fears that the entire structure will out, The river is rising rapidly and all lower portions of the city are under water. The washing away of the approach to the bridge has put a stop to all traftic, and it may be some time before trains will run again from Council Blaffs to Omaha. If the river continues to rise the main portion of the bridge will likely be carried away, ns it has been greatly weakened by the washing out of the eastern approach. FLEEING FOR THEIR LIVES, Sr. Lovrs, Mo., May 18.—A report justreaches this office that the Ohio and Mississippi railroad dike in East St. Louis, which has protected the main portion of that city from the flood, has broken and the water is pouring into the town in torrente, ‘The people are fleeing for their ves, ——__. RELIEVED OF REVOLTING FEATURES, The Electrothantzation of Murderer Tice @ Avnuny, N. Y., May 18—Jos. L. Tice, the Rochester murderer, wa;'electrocuted at 6:39 o'clock this morning. execution is con- sidered great success. There was nothing revolting about the affair. The witnesses saw no burning of flesh, no exhalation of air from the lungs, no struggling of the victim. ‘The murderer met his fate calmly, even bravely. was aj tly unmoved’ wi being ped in the chair and he had nothing to at the lust. The electric current was into the body four times, each contact brief. The physician in’ charge believed better results would be obtained than with two long contacts. Warden Durston said that the execution was @ grand success, Electrician Davis said the same thing. Further than that they had nothing to say. “It speaks for itself,” said Dr. Daniels. could not have been better. ‘He was very brave,” mid Chaplain Yates, referring to the dead man. “He fulfilled his ine to Mr. Penney and myself that be would like a man and a Christian. His last words tome were: ‘Oh, if I did not drink that whisky.’”. “Put that in big type,” said Mr. Penney, with tears in hiseyes. Then be added: “Bat for that vers, thing he was as good « mam ‘any witness in this room.” Dr. Geo, E. Fell of Buffalo, who also wit nessed the Kemmler execution, said: “The exe cution of Tice cannot be improved uj The frequent short aged are undoubtedly the best methods. There was nothing revolting in this case. As compared with the Kemmler case this was the more sat- isfactory. In_ the execution of Tice there ‘were absolutely mo reflex move- ments from beginning to end aside from the rigidity of the body pro- duced by the making and breaking of the current. I was one of the first to advocate electrical executions, and after seeing this one I am satisfied that the grounds I assumed were ‘Thieves. Joseph H. Perzanovski, a Pole, who had some iffculty in making himself clearly understood, ‘made complaint to police headquarters Monday ‘morning that he had been robbed by two young ‘men, who also best him.
