Y WORK OF CONGRESS froceedinggx tn the Senate and House of Representatives, Washington, May 14.—The animated coutest which has proceeded for the last four dé in the senate over the leep water harbor on the Southern coast of California was brought to a close to- by a compromise between the conflicting interests. The issue has been between the points of Santa Monica, the terminus of the Southern Pacific, and San Pedro, the locality urged by the California senators. Sen- ator Frye, chairman of the commerce committee. finally harmonized the dif- ferences by referring the determina- tion as between Santa Monica and San_ Pedro to a commission to consist of three civil engineers, a naval officer and an officer of the coast survey. The compromise was accepted by the California senators and was unani- mously passed. The house entered upon the con- tested election case of Rianker ys. Downing, from the Sixteenth Illinois district. The debate was very spirited. Mr. Moody (Rep., Mass.) joined with the Democratic majority in asking the adoption of a resolution for an of- ficial recount of the ballots in dispute. Me: . Cook (Rep., Il.) and Leonard (Rep., Pa.) spoke for the contestant and Mr. Bartlett (Dem., Ga.) and Moody for the contestee. Before the ease was brought up Mr. Wheeler (Dem., Ala.) tuken to task for abusing the p ilege of printing in the record, and some extensive inter- polations in a recent speech of his Were expunged from the permanent record by a vote of 75 to 144. Washington, May 15.—The river and harbor appropriation bill was passed by the senate after an unusually rmy experience lasting many days. nally passed the Dill makes di- propriations of $12,200,000 and authorizes contixuing contracts of $64,000,000, en regate of about 006,000. During the debate to-day statement was made that this was the largest aggregate for a river and harbor bill in the history of the gov- ernment. Mr. Gorman sought to se- cure ap amendment to the bill limiting the contract expenditures to $10,000,- 000 annually, but the amendment was tabled-*40 to = Mr. Frye, chairman of the commerce committee, closed the debate on the bill by a statement owing the remarkable development n commerce and tie conse- quent decrease in freight rates. On the final passage of the bill nine sena- tors voted in the negative. The resolution to recommit the Rain- aker-Downing contest to committee was adopted—139 to 35—in the house. Was gton, May 16.—The Dupont ease, involving the right of Henry A. Dupont to a sent in the senate from the state of Delaware, was taken up in the senate. A brief colloquy be- tween Me Gorman and Mitchell developed that a difference of opinion’ existed as to the character of the vote. When Mr. Gorman spoke of the unani- mous agreement to yote to-morrow Mr. Mitchell admitted the correctness of the statement, but added significantly that the character of the vote would be determined when the vote was had, which was open to the meaning that the case would be postponed until next session. Mr. Platt (Rep., Conn.) spoke support of Mr. Dupont’s claim. Two inst the bill proposing ad- strietions on immigration, by son (Dem., Md.) and Mr. Nel- ditiona Mr. Gib: son p., Minn.) were made early in the day. Mr. Gibson severely ar- raigned the P. A., declaring that it inspired th ill, and that the organ- ization seeking to invade politics. Mr. Nelson said the A. P. A. had had no part in inspiring the bill. Mr. Caf- fery (Dem., La.) spoke briefly on the need of action to offset the proposed legislation by the German reichstag on gar bounties. The house, under the official order adopted last week, devoted the whole day to private pension bills. They were disposed of at the rate of about one every five minutes, 58 in all being fa- vorably acted upon before adjourn- ment. Washington, May 17.—By a vote of 31 to 30 the senate determined that Henry A. Dupont was not entitled to a seat in the senate from the State of Delaware. This closed a long and an- imated controversy which had become one of the most notable contests of its kind in the history of the senate. The result was in doubt up to the last mo- ment, and this lent added interest to the final vote. There had been some question as to the direction of Mr. Stewart's vote, but it went with those of the Democrats and Populists and was the decisive vote in declaring that Mr. Dupont was not entitled to a seat. Before taking the vote Mr. Platt (Rep., spoke for Mr. Dupont and Mr. (Dem., Wis.) against. Earlier in y Mr. Bacon (Dem., Ga.) spoke t the issue of bonds without au- thority of congress. The house passed the private pension bills which were favorably acted on during the two special days given to their consideration. Mr. Erdma (Dem., Pa.) and Mr. Talbert (Dem., S. C.) threw such obstacles in the way of the bills as they could. Thirty-four were held up because they were not en- grossed, but 100 were passed, leaving about sixty yet undisposed of. Washington, May 19.—By a vote of 6 to 4 the Republicans of the ways and means committee of the house de- cided not to bring forward any reci- procity legislation at this session of congress. The majority was made up of Chairman Dingley. Grosvenor of patio, Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Dolliver of towa, Payne of New York and Hop- 4.@ of Mlinois. The minority in fa- vor of immediate action included Rus- sell of Connecticut, Evans of Ken- tucky. Steele of Indiana and ‘Tawney of Minnesota. Corgressp an Johnson of North Dakota was not present. He is understood to favor action, but his vote would not have changed the re- sult. The only surprise occasioned by this vote was that Grosvenor should have voted for delay. It was expected, up to within a day or two, that he would favor the passage of a reciproc- ity bill at this session, and his vote, together with the fact that he is re- garded as McKinley’s personal repre- sentative in congress, has occasioned no little gossip and the old story that the reciprocity features of the McKin- ley bill were written into the measure in the face of the steadfast opposition of its author is being revived. The ob- jection that was urged to reporting and passing a bill at this session was, that it would lead to a general discus- sion of the tarift and the offering of amendments that would tend to undu- ly disturb business conditions without the hope of being able to pass the bill. The Cuban question was revived in the senate when Mr. Morgan of Ala- bama, who reported the original reso- lution, spoke in favor of further and more decisive action toward the recog- nition of the Cubans as belligerents. At the close of Mr. Morgan’s speech the senate adopted without division resolutions introduced by him, direct- ing the coramittee on foreign relations to inquire into and report on the treaty relations between the United States and Spain relating to the Americans now under condemnation at Havana, also requesting the president for the recent diplomatic correspondence with Spain on the subject. The resolutions have no reference to the recdynition of belligerent _ rights, although they served Mr. Morgan as a text for his speech on that line. Washington, May 20. — The senate, by a vote of 41 to 6, defeated a mo- tion by Senator Allen (Pop., Neb.) to proceed with the consideration of the resolution to investigate aileged elec- tion irregularities in Alabama, occur- ring at the time Goy. Oates was elect- ed over R. F. Kolb, Populist. Four Republican senators, Chandler, Frye, Gallinger and Morrill, and two Popu- lists, Allen and Peffer, made up the af- firmative vote. Mr. Allen took oc casion to declare that the vote dis- closed the insincerity of Republican senators to their professions in behalf of honest elections. Mr. Sherman re- sponded that it was not for the present senate to go into the general investiga- tion, of elections, as these resolutions proposed, and Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire, author of the resolutions, explained that the adverse vote was due largely to the disinclination to displace appropriation bills. The en- tire day of the senate, after this vote, was given to the bill regulating. gas rates in the District of Columbia. It was expected that the house would take up the consideration of the im- migration bills on the calendar under a special order, but owing to tbe pres- sure of other business the order was not presented until just previous to adjournment. It was then amended so as to give to-morrow and next day for the consideration of these bills. ‘There are four of them. The McCall bill provides an educational test; the Stone bill provides for consular inspec- tion and the Mahany and Corl bills provide for more rigid enforcement of the present immigration laws, especial- ly to deal with immigration from MARKET REPORTS.

It is to be an air line from Duluth to the Missouri viver in North Dakota, tapping in its progress the best part of the whea fields of Northern Minnesota North Dakota. The road as prejected runs from Duluth in a generalty west- ern direction, crossing the St. Louis river between Rice’s Point and the di- viding line between rang west. It cuts a small piece from the northwestern corner of Wisconsin, strikes Minnesota again on the west border of towuship 58, range 15, thence it proceeds west through Minnesota in a practically straight line to the southern boundary of Hubbard coun- ty. Thence west to a point near the southwestern ‘correr of the White Earth Indian reservation, Thence it proceeds northwest to the boundary line of Minnesota on the Red River of the North at or near Caledonia; theuce west through North Dakota to a point on the Missouri river which has not yet been definitely determined. A branch line runs from a point near the southwestern corner of the White Earth Indian reservation southwest to Moorhead. In this manner a great stretch of wheat country is tapped, in- cluding the choicest portions of the fertile Red river valley, some of which is now quite a distance from any rail- road. Mr. Bradford said that the road was backed by Hastern capital and its success yas practically assured. Sur- veys will begin at an early date. The articles of incorporation fix the capital stock at $100,000. ‘he limit of in- debtedness is $6,000,000 and the in- debtedness, aside from mortgaged or bonded indebtedness, is limited to two-thirds of the capital. he general offices of the company are to be iu Duluth.

St. Paul, May 19.—Edward Krueger, the musical painter of New Richland, Minn., for whom the St. Paul police were looking Friday, was found yes- terday in Montgomery, Minn. Mr. Krueger discovered that two angry husbands, Messrs. Hope and _ Luff, were anxious to meet him, so he dis- creetly avoided an interview by again disappearing from the public gaze. The story of his escapade is an unusual one. He had a musical voice, talent and rare tact with. women. He in- duced Mrs. William Luff and Mrs. Jas. Hope to leave their homes and hus- bands at New Richland, south of Mont- gomery, about a week ago. The party went to Montgomery where they pre- tended to be brother and sisters. Yes- terday morning the husbands, with of- ficers, arrived to take them in custody, but when they learned the state of affairs they concluded not to take them back. Mrs. Hope when leaving home took two children with her, but thought one was enough, and when she got to Waseca she set the youngest down on the depot platform, got on the train and came away. Mr. Hope took the little girl back with him. The painter got wind of coming trouble and skipped, after trying to get some baggage out of the depot at 10 o'clock last night, but was refused it by the agent. Mrs. Hope is said to be twen- ty-eight years old and Mrs. Luff only nineteen. Krueger is said to be twen- ty-three years of age. CARLSON'S HEADLESS BODY.

St. Paul, May 20. — Articles of in- corporation of the Duluth & Great Eastern railway were filed with the secretary of state yesterday with a given capital stock of $100,000. ‘Ihe incorporators are George E. Mansfield of Greenfield, N. H.; C. S. Cox and 1. H. Bradford of Hubbard, Minn.; KW. S. Spalding and John A. Keyes of Duluth. The intention of the company is to construct a line from Duluth in a southerly direction, crossing the St. Louis river near the boundary of Min- nesota and Wisconsin, near Kice’s Point, to connect there with a railway to be built on Wisconsin soil, running through the northwest corner of the state. From there the line is to run through the north central part of Min- nesota, passing near the southern boun- dary of Hubbard county, thence ap- proaching the southwestern corner of the White Earth reservation and then to Caledonia in the Red river valley. From this point the line is to extend into North Dakota to the Missouri riv- er by the most practicable route, while another branch is to run to Moorhead. Provisions are made for the construc- tion of all needed branches, spurs and side tracks, while the amount of in- debtedness is limited to $6,000,000. ‘This is the incorporation of what is knowu as Farmer Hines’ RIVERS RAGING, The Last Rain in Minnesota Was a Flood. Red Lake Falls, Minn., May 20. — From Thursday night to Sunday mid- night it rained incessantly, causing an extreme rise of water in the Red and Clearwater rivers and their tributaries. Both the mill dams have been en- dangered, and crews have worked day and night. Between here and Lambert (a distance of twenty-five miles) seven bridges have been swept away. ‘The railways have suffered washouts which will interrupt. service and streets and roads are impassable from landslides. Warren, Minn., May 20.—The rains of Saturday and Sunday have brought on a flood. The water has not been so high since 1875. North-going trains are laid up here on account of wash- outs. Snake river is over its banks and running all over the prairie. Seeding will be delayed for several days. Argyle, Minn., May 20. — From Sat- urday noon to Sunday night two and one-half inches of rain tell. All the rivers in| Marshall county aye over- flowing their banks. Thousands of acres of grain are covered by water. No trains to-day from the south. The rivers are still rising two inches an hour. 1 BY WATER TO LE SUEUR. t The First Big Steamer in Ten Years Reaches There. Minnéapolis, May’ 20.—Inasmuch as the river and harbor bill just passed by congress makes a provision for the survey of Big Stone lake and vicinity with a view to the construction of a storage reservoir similar to those at the headwaters of the Mississippi, the trip of a steamer up the Minnesota river to Le Sueur yesterday is of spe- cial interest. It is about ten years since a boat of the size of the Daisy reached: Le Sueur. And it is thirty years since there was regular trattic on the river for any length of time. Since the war spasmodic attempts have been made to reopen what was once a valuable water route, but for various reasons they failed, and now the river, through years of neglect, has become a nest of snags. However, the trip to Le Sueur demonstrated that the river is navigable still and that with ordinary attention it might be used for several months of each year, even without permanent improve- ments. ones 4 wo FOR LESS RATES, _.-~*" The Red River VaHey Will Demand a Hearing. Moorhead, Minn., May 20. — Invita- tions will be issued in a few days for a convention to be held in Moorhead tor the purpose of demanding the same grain rate per ton per mile (6 of a mill) to the seaboard that the producers of Kansas ane other Southwestern states now enjoy. Delegates will be invited from Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota and a definite plan of ection mapped out. The interstate commerce commission will be invited to be present, also the rail- road cominissioners of the several states. As the convention will not be held until after congress adjourns the senators and representatives of these four states will have an opportunity to be present. Every board of trade, chamber of commerce, commercial club and business men’s union in the hard wheat states will be asked to be represented by able men. The demand will be made in such form that the commission can find no excuse for re- fusing to establish the rate and plac- ing the producers of the Northwest, so far as freight rates are concerned, on an equal footing with the producers of the Southwest.

ITHER DOCTORS SAID DIABE« TES, INDIGESTION TORPID LIVER, ETC. ‘rom the Reporter, Fond du Lac, Wis. About a year ago the Reporter corre- pondent on a trip through Stockbridge, Yisconsin, was introduced to Mr. J. W. ‘lower, whose appearance was any- aing but pleasant to one unacquainted ith disease and its effects. One would hink Mr. Flower had jaundice or con- umption and to the reporter it seemed hat he was not long for this world. ‘ome six months later the correspond-, nt saw Mr. Flower again and there ‘as a very marked improvement in his wpeargnce. In reply to a question as o what had been the matter with him e@ stated he did not know exactly, but hat he had been examined and treated ly several physicians who failed te gree as to his ailments. Said Mr. Nower: “One stated I had diabetes, another adigestion, and another said my pleen failed to supply the system with ufficient red corpuscles, another said ny liver had become hardened and tor- vid, but none of the remedies pre- ‘cribed did me any good. I was cold nd weak nearly all the time, I had ne smbition. I had chills and then heat lashes; I was at times numb and fhought I was paralyzed, my legs were o weak I could scarcely walk a block it times. I had given up all hope of ver getting better, when one day I ead an article in The Reporter which poke of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for vale People. “I thought it was about the same as vith other patent medicines and paid 1o atention to it, but my wife who has yeen troubled as most women are, con- tluded to send for a box of the pills to ise in her case, which she did. I read the circular wrapped around the box snd concluded to try them myself un- known to her. I had no faith in their loing me any good, but much to my iurprise after taking them a week I be- san feeling much better and as my wife was also feeling better I told her I was aking the pills. I sent for two boxes more, and in two months I was much setter. My strength has improved ever ‘ince, and I am still gaining flesh. I jave regained my appetite, and to-day ‘can do as much work on the farm as iny man in my employ.” “Then, Mr. Flower, you honestly be- feve that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have sured you and your wife?” questioned the correspondent. “Yes, and I have given them to my thildren when they complain and on them they work like magic. It would be impossible for me to speak too highly sf Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills which I have tt all times in my household.
