Brxstxoros, Vr., March 1%—The reeent warm weather and rains have melted the snow so that the streets of this town are flooded and All the streams in this vicinity are very high and the roads leading to the town are covered with water and badly damaged. The | water all through this section is the highest known in years and is still rising. Much dam- age is anticipated if warm weather continues | THE WIGH WATER IX MICHIGAN. Graxp Rarrps, Mict., March 18.—The flood | coming down from Ionia has carried down the | ice in the river, and yesterday the ice had been running, and the water 1s within foot of high water mark. At Lamon sixteen miles below here, a gorge has formed, and at Grandville the river is re- ported rising rapidly asa result. ‘That is far down the stream and unless the gorge backs up ten miles no danger is apprehended here. Com- paratively little damage has yet been done. Poutnaxp, Micu., March’ 13.—The Detroit, Lansing and Northern railroad is the heaviest loser by the flood. which has continued since Friday night. Saturday night 700 feet of track was washed out half a mile east of the depot by an | ice gorge. which turned the course of Looking Glase river across the road bed. The break was | overed just before passenger train No. 28 from the west was due to pass. A wrecking | train arrived at an early h ‘esterday morn- ing und track has been repaired so trains will probably cross today. Several bridges are in danger. Not All Danger Passed at Port Deposit. Special Dispatch to The Evenine Star. Port Devosit, Mp., March 13.—The town of Port Deposit presented an unusual and weird seene this morning. The flood of yesterday, which has never been equaled, has somewhat abated, but all danger is not yet past. Sheds, outbuildings and large quantities of lumber @ everywhere scattered through the streets and hue ice floes weighing tons aro piled one upon another. The Port Deposit and Columbia railroad from Happy Valley to Rock Run is entirely sub- merged, and it will be weeks before travel 1s re- sumed. A portion of the depot is a total wreck, which will, in all probabilities, necessitate te building of a new one. The gorge still holds fast, although « good-sized channel has been opened on the Hartford side. An immense body of ice is still gorged at McCall s Ferry, twenty miles up the river. ‘1 residents are of the opinion that the worst is over. The submerged town was yesterday vis- ited by hundreds of people from all parts of the county. No services were held yesterday in the different churches, The loss ‘by the flood will reach $75,000. ‘The Freshet in the Hudson. ALBANY, , March 13.—The freehet in the Hudson is the highest since 1883. The lower part of the city is under water and steam rail- road trains and electric cars are prevented from running. The flood rose about one foot an hour during the night and this morning is fourteen feet above mean tide. Gorce in the Mohawk. Scnexectapy, N. ¥., March 13.—Last night the ice in the Mohawk west of the city broke up snd formed an immense gorge against the Fitchburg railroad bridge, three _ miles from here. The water overflowed the banks, flooding Edison Park and that part of the city occupied by the Westinghouse Company and the generalselectric. ‘The first floors of the Edison general electric, which aj gregate «sixteen acres, are under water to a depth of three feet.

Pants, March 13.—The approaches to the Palais de Justice were thronged today by ex- cited crowds. There has not been such excitement in Paris‘ sinee the beginning of the Panama scandal. The crowds were composed of all classes from the militant socialist to the wealthy merchant and financier. and there was an ominous murmur of angry talk and a menacing frown on the faces of the lower classes in the throng that reminded of the days preceding the commune. The court room was thronged with as many as could obtain admittance. The prisoners seemed themselves _re- vived by the new interest which their | vase bad awakened, and some thought hat the features of Chas. de Lesseps bore a ook of triumph, while even Baihaut looked less crushed than at any time previous since his pitiful confession. ‘Aa soon as the court opened Presiding Judge Desjardins ordered that M. Bourgeois, the late minister of justice, ehould be eummoned to tes- tify some time during the day. Deputy Fernand Mege of Puy-de-Dome, who belongs, according to his own statement, to the party of “appeal to the people,” testified to the accuracy of the statement that M. Yves-Guyot wes the source of the t M. Constans had communicated to President | Carnot, in a council at the Elysee, the list of | deputies implicated in the alleged Panama briberies. Count Caffarelli, monarchist, deputy for Aisne, gave similar testimony, which was cor- roborated by the radical deputy Labrosse. Advoente Lagrass demanded that M. Cort stance be suramoned to testify. ‘This was ob- jected to by the advocate general, who said that the calling of witnesses must have some limit. Deputy Saint Martin, union conservative, who had been a member of the committee on the application of the Panama Canal Company for leave to issue lottery bonds, that he did not sce M. Sans-Leroy. one [of the defendants, who accused of | changing his vote in the committee as the result of a bribe, leave the committee room just before the critical division on the bill. Saint Murtin said he bad been told that Sans-Leroy went out to see Arton and that afterwards Sans-Leroy’s opposition to the bill ceased. M. Markel, member of the same committee, testified that he did not see Sans-Leroy leave the room on the occasion in question. The Witness remembered thst there was an alterca- tion over the vote which Sans-Leroy geve in support of the bill, and that Sans-Leroy told the committee that he was bound to comply with the wish of his constituents, The chamber of deputies was crammed to- day with members and spectators, in the ex- pectation of a division that would result ina gabinet crisis, bat owing to the fact that M. N. HARRIS STILL IN SUSPENSE. ‘The Decision in His Case Not Announced by Recorder Smythe. New Yonx, March 18.—Everybody, with the possible exception of the recorder himself, fully expected that Recorder Smythe | would end Carlisle Harris’ suspense this | i | morning by giving his decision on the motion of Harris’ counsel for a new trial. The recorder, however, did not come down court this morning, and it was announced that he would not give his decision today. Part 8 of general sessions, where the recorder sits, was crowded early this morning by per- sons interested in the case. Harris was not there and it was said he would not be brought down from the Tombs. Mrs. Harris visited Howe & Hummel’s office early in the day. She intended to wait there and hear the result by telephone. At ll o'clock Judge Martine took the bench, to the surprise of the crowd. It was learned that he would preside in the court until the Halliche murder trial, which was begun this morning, is finished. District Attorney Nicoll said positively that the recorder’s decision would not be announced When questioned he remarked: “Harris hasn't a ghost of a chance for a new trial.” deptr?i#i# much cast down over the unexpected ve as WIDESPREAD PRAIRIE FIRES.

The purchase of the Bancroft property, which was published in Tux Stan last week, has been supplemented by another purchase, which places under one ownership all of the ground at the northeast corner of 17th and H streets to fiffeen-foot alley on the east and the 12-foot alley on the north, The property purchased was the two houses owned by Mr. John A. Rheem, fronting 90 fect on the east side of 17th street, with an average depth of about 80 feet. There is a 12-foot alley on the north side. The purchaser was Mr. Anthony Pollok, owner of the Richmond Hotel, which theem rine Tronplas tae torens The i who bought the Bancroft property and is the | C IT 18 NOT YET SETTLED WHETHER THE SEXATE WILL TRANSACT ANY BUSINESS OTHER THAN ‘THE CONSIDERATION OF TREATIES AND EXEC- ‘UTIVE BUSINESS OR NOT. The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Call as to withholding patents to public lands in Florida was Inid before the Senate, and war, at the, suggestion of Mr. Gorman (Md.), permitted to remain on the table. The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Manderson (Neb.) to confine the action of the Senate at the present session to executive busi- ness was laid before the Senate and was modi- fied by Mr. Manderson so as to read: Rerolved, That it is the sense of the Senate bat a t this extraordina ry session of the Senate yusiness transacted shall be confined to the consideration of treaties and other execu- tive matters and those requiring the action of the Senate only. ‘Mr. Cockrell said ho saw no occasion for the adoption of uth a resolution. Besides, it would not amount to anything. It would not bind the Senate ten minutes. The Constitution was broad enough. It Provided that the President may on extraor- inary occasions convene both houses, or either of them. What did that mean? It did not mean in executive semion. That was a mere matter of rule by the Senate. ‘The present was an extraordinary session, and the Senate possessed every power and right and juriedic- tion which the Senate would possess if the House had been called with it. Mr. Manderson disclaimed any contention that the Senate when cailed in extraordinary session did not possess every power. His resolution was simply a declaration of the sense of the Senate—that it had better not con- sider legislative matters. Mr. Cockrell expressed the judgment that the President could call the House of Repre- sentatives in extraordinary session, and that that House might pass appropriation bills or = tariff bill, and that the President mignt afterward’ call the Senate in _extra- ordinary session and that the Senate could then take up and act upon the bilis passed by the House. ‘There was no occasion saying today that it would not do a certain thing or that it would declare a certain policy. The Senate was able day by day to take care of itself and to decide what it should do. It was child's play to undertake to bind the Sen- ate in advance. Mr. Jeller (Col.) reminded Senators on his side of the chamber that a democratic executive had called the Senate in extraordinary session ea and suggested that it was rather un- becoming in them to interfere with the course of business, The majority | on the other side should indicate what they wanted todo. He did not know what the ma- jority wanted done or what the executive wanted done The responsibility of legis- lation did * not — rest on Senators on his side of the chamber. If the other side did not want anything done, he would be glad to have that policy made known; and it would be very agreeable to | do him, There were come things, ho’ the Senate could do and might want todo. It might want to adopt some resolutions of in- quiry; and there would be, he thought, no con- troversy about them. He himselt wanted to introduce a resolution touching the interna- tional monetary conference and wanted to have, if possible, an expression of opinion by the Senate upon it. He wanted the Senate to express an opinion as to whether it was better to have the international monetary conference reassemble or not, because he had discovered, through the debates in the English parliament, that the English people claimed that whether the conference would reassemble or not would depend entirely on the wishes of the United States government. He said that he did not want to introduce a resolution simply to have it laid on the table, or to expore himself er, which | to the accusation of precipitating matters in | controvers: He therefore wanted the Senate to determine just what ought to be done—not what the Senate had the right todo, but what would be good policy for it to do. Mr. Gorman (Md.) said that he had gone very carefully over the precedents and that he had found the first considerabie debate on the sub- ject to have taken place in 1851. On that oc- caxion Senator Seward of New York bad offered a resolution, which had been adopted, and which has been ever since practically the rule that has governed the Senate. That resolution was that “the Senate is not restricted at this session to the considera- tion of matters properly executive, but that such consideration may be extended to all matters proper to be transagted by the Sen- ate, without the co-operation of the House of ted that Representatives.” Mz. Gorman sugges! the resolution and Mr. Hale’ abet should be withdrawn, and that unanim sent should be given’ that the Senate consider matters requiring fhe action of the other house. Objection was made by Mr. George (Miss.) and the discussion went on for some time -the resolution finally going over with- ion. Mr. Frye (Me.) offered a resolution, which he explained and which was agreed to, rescinding so much of a resolution adopted in the Senate on the 27th of February last as requires the Secretary of War to suspend action in relation to the improvements in the harbor of Phily- delphia. The Senate then, at 12:50, adjourned till Wednesday next at noon.

A Sudden Death In Jail—Was It the Result of | a Clubbing? “Cerebral meningitis” was the eanse of death | stated in the certificate given by Dr. MeWill- | iams, the jail physician, in the case of Robert Williams, colored, who died while serving «| sentence in the jail. His death occurred about two weeks ago | under circumstances which are considered suspicious, but no investigation bas been made, nor is it likely that any anything would have deen said about him had not his mother made inguiries concerning her dead son. t appears that Robert was given sixty days in jail by Judge Miller on the 20th of February, and after having been there ten days he was taken sick and died within twenty-four bourse. There was acut on his head and that, it is thonght by his mother and relatives, was the cause of the trouble. That cut his mother says was inflicted by a policeman, but-the police deny that was the cane. Mra. Williams was seen by a Stan reporter today and she related the story of the alleged clubbing of her son. It was about 8 o'clock Sunday morning, February 20, when the offi- | cers, three in number. came to her house in South Washington, she save, and her son crawled under the bed to hide. One of them drew his revolver and threatened | to use it, and another punched under the bed | with club, while the third one pulled at him | from the foot of the bed. When he came out and started with them and had just reached the outside of the door one of the policemen, she says, struck him with his club and knocked him wn. “I said to him,” Mrs. Williams told the re-| Porter, ‘don’t kill my son,” < j The of | fficer replied that be had fallen against the house and cut his head. She heard nothing more of her son after he was sent to jail until he died, and then she found his body in potter's field. He had not been buried and she asked the man in charge that she be permitted to see her dead son, but = man refused, saying it was against the rules, ‘Then she made inquires at the health office and of an undertaker, but she could not have the body removed, because she had not enough money. Mrs. Williams seemed anxious to have her son's death investigated, but she said she had been advised not to do ‘so because she would get the police down on her. No complaint bas yet been made to the coroner or District at- | torney. ——_ MR. BLAINE’S BURIAL PLACE. An Effort to Secure the Removal of His Remains to Maine. Acting under the terms of a resolution | adopted by the legislature of Maine Gor Cleaves bas written to Mrs. James G. Blaine requesting permission for the state | officials to remove the remains of her late husband from Osk Hill cemetery, in this city to Aagusta, the capital city of Maine, and his home throughout his long | and prominent career. At the time the resolution was adopted bythe legislature, it was understood that the people of ‘the State would provide a monument to mark | Mr. Blaine’s final resting place in case the effort | to secure the removal of the remains was suc- cexsful. Mrs. Blaine returned last night from New York and has not made any reply to the re- est of the governor. Whatever may be the decision reached ia the matter, it is under stood that it will not indicate a change | of residence for Mrs. Blaine. She will continue to make ber home in Washington, bat desires to find a smaller and more retired residence than the big red mansion she now occupies. a Ses DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
