The Chron icle's Washington special says: There will be the hottest kind of a fight over the seating of Corbett, the new senator from Oregon, before the Eenate committee on privileges and elec tions. Corbett is accompanied by sev eral Oregon friends, two at least of whom will figure as hia attorneys before the committee. They are now prepar ing his case. It is hardly believed that there will be a departure from the prece dent in the Mantel case, though many of the Republican leaders favor the seating of Wood of Kentuckv and Cor bett, as well as Henderson of Florida. In Wood's case the legislature of Ken tucky, now in session, will probably elect a successor to Blackburn before Wood's contest is completed. Call will undoubtedly be chosen to succeed him self when the Florida legislature meets next month. Wallace McCamaut, of Portland, made the following statement yesterday: "The Oregon case must not be con founded with the Kentuckycuse or with the MaLtle case, decided four years ago in both of these cases the legislature charged with the duty cf electing t eenator, organized and balloted for sena tor irom day today without effecting an election. In the Oregon case the legis lature never held a session and simply maueau abortive attempt to organize. neer passed a bill or 6ent a message io me governor ! The attempt to organ "e even had been abandoned bv the time Mitchell's term expired and a va cancy occurred. "The constitution authorizes an ap. pointmont when a vacaucy happens dur lue recess of the legislature. This vacancy certainly originated in the recess of the Oregon legislature. Mr. Urbett can bo deprived of hia seat only by interpreting the word 'happen' as "iuivaieut to 'happen fortuitously or by chance.' It is our contention that such interpretation is nrpollirlnrl hv tho ran. trar.v, that it is contrary to all canons of iuction and to all senatorial pre cedents from 1870 to the present time, iuirteeu gubernatorial appointments Jve been seated by the senate, princi pally in the early days, when the fram e's of the constitution were in the body. 'a doubtful if the senate will follow me precedent of the Mantle case." The Uuy iu Detail.

Rain be gan falling here shortly after 7 o'clock, and is coming down in torrents, adding to thc misery and suffering already caused by the overflowing of streams. A citizens' relief committee has been organized. Hundreds of head of stock and many men, women and children have been rescued from house and tree tops in the overflowed districts and brought to this city by harbor towboats with barges attached. The gauge reads oG.3 feet, a rise of one foot in 24 hours, and indications point to a further rise. News comes todav of the partial breaking of the St. Francis levee, sixty miles above Memphis. Steamer captains say great additional suffering and loss of property will result. SPECIALTIES To be found on our Counters at the commencement of this week. More Trouble at lacoma. Tacoma, March 15. The sheriff's offi cers guarded the civil service office in the city hall from Saturdav till this morning. The new commission waa ap pointed Saturday, but a restraining order from the court prevented their entering upon their duties. The old board feared that forcible possession of the office might be taken on Sunday. The matter will be settled in court to morrow. It was from the civil-service room that the city hall vault was en tered several months ago, and the citv election ballots Etolen. The robbers have never been detected. The Mount Lebanon Shakers have in vented a great many valuable things. They were the first to make brooms by machinery; the first to put up seeds in litttle packages; the first to manufacture cut nails. Now they are out with a method of cur ing dyspepsia by resting the stomach. Their remedy is known as the Shaker Digestive Cordial. It supplies food in an artificially digested form and at tho same time aids the digestion of other foods in the stomach. In other words, by the use of the Shaker Digestive Cor dial, a dyspeptic virtually gets along without the use of his stomach until it is restored to its natural strength and vigor. A single 10 cent bottle will oft times give marked relief. Get a bottle from your druggist and try it. Laxol is the best medicine for chil dren. Doctors recommend it in place of Castor Oil. France aud Italy Decline. Vienna, March 15. The proposal of the powers that France and Italy occupy Crete with a mixed force of 25,000 men has been declined by the governments of thoae two countriee on the score of expense. The occupation of Crete, therefore, will be undertaken by the forces of the six powers, although Ger many and Austria will only nominally take part to show that they are agreea ble to the measure. If your tea is good, it is cheap; if it is not good, it is dear, no matter what you pay for it you had better drink water. But good tea is better than water sometimes, be cause it tastes good, and whatever tastes good makes the stomach work right. So good tea is cheap and poor tea is dear. Schillings Best is good. A Schilling & Company San Francises 603 The break in the St. Francis levee at Nodena, Ark., was more serious tnan first reported. The water has fallen twenty-five feet, and rushed upon the people in the lowlands, behind the levee, in almost a' solid wall. It is expected many lives will be lost. The steamer City of Osceola saved many people who were washed out of their homes by the water, which went through everv crevice. The Flood at Naskvllle. Nashville, Tenn., March 15. The Cumberland river reached forty-two feet on the gauge here today. Forty feet is the danger line. The lowlands about the city are submerged, and many cel lars of the business houses filled with water. Families in the threatened dis tricts are moving out. Merchants are taking their goods to the second floors. The river will certainly reach forty-five, possibly forty-Beven feet. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all othe diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many yeara doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proyen catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and there fore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrah Cuie, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from ten drops to a teaspoonful. It acta directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testmonials. Address, F. J.
