TIIE SWELLING FLOODS.
Oresjen-Does Not ..Compare With
Ohio and Mississippi Flood.
Cairo, 111., March 12. The Ohio
River lias been over fifty miles
wide at this point. It extended
from Cairo level, which held its
banks up forty feet, above the
lower water mark in Kentucky till
it struck the hills there, . forming
orie solid sheet of, water, except for
the narrow strips of rock'bound
earth upon which the. Mobile and
Ohio and Illinois Central railroads
run South. A mil below . here it
joined the Mississippi", which in
turn extended into - Missouri an
other fifty miles, making the com
bined width of the two livers over
100 mites. The current is terrific!
and, brings great quantities of
heavy . drift, making navigation
perilous. The ferryboat ! Three
States made two trips to Kast
Cairo, Ky., and one up the Mies
issippi to Missouri, rescuing people
camped but on ground' which they
supposed was beyond the reach of
the flood, but which 'was being
rapidly submerged. ;
At t'aducah. Ky., mty miles up
the Ohio, there is much uneainess.
The city-i8.not protected by leyels
as Cairo is, and in 1S82 it was
flooded to the depth of six- feet
Already the water "lias reached
within a few feet of the door of
the Richmond House, which
stands on the river front, and. the
two great tobacco warehouses are
flooded. Ten hogsheads of tobacco
stored in them were removed last
week. On Sunday the. ' marine
wavs were romnelledt to suspend
operations because of the flood,

ON THE CUSTOMS' UNION.
Reports Presented ' 'to the Pan-
American Congress.
Washington; March 12. The
Pan-American Congress discussed
the report of the Cmomittee on
International' Law, and" 'finally
adopted it: ! The. first committee
of the Conference to make major
ity and minority reports was that
on Customs Union. They were
presented to-day. The majority
says that the establishment of a
customs union, as generally under
stood, would require not only a
partial sacrifice ofr Rational
sovereignty of the Amcan na
tions, out - more raaicai cnauges
in their resjiective constitutions
than they are willing to accept.
The majority believe that the
principle of unrestricted reciproci
ty is acceptable, and that its adop
tion, would, in all probably, bring
about as favorable results as those
obtained by free trade among- the
different states of this union. A
customs union on this basis, how
ever, the majority deem impract
icable as a continental system at
present. But if it is not easy, says
the majority, to arrive at once at
unrestricted reciprocity, that end
might be obtained gradually, lhe
first step in that direction is the
negotiation of partial reciprocity
treaties among the American na
tions, whereby each may agree
to remove or diminish their res
pective import duties upon some
of the natural or manufacture
products of one or more of - tire
other nations, in exchange for
similar and equivalent advantages.
If a good result should follow . the
number of articles orrthe free. .list
might lie enlarged from time -to
time. Therefore - the ; majority
proposes :' "To- recommend to
such of the governments ' repre
sented in the Conference, aa .. may
desire partial .reciproeita ;to' . make
commercial trftti.-owrvoiife! or
more of the countries uWJe'r isuteh

each case: takiBeintoricferfttkm
the special situation,? .'caption
and interests of eh'couniry. Mid
with, a: vier ; . tr . promote : . ithjeir1
common welfare.'" -.?'"'
The minority, . Mr- JLUonBO, ? of
Chili, and Mr Pena. of the Argen
tine Republic presented, iv report
stating that the ' committee, .naa
been unanimous in advising the
Conference to reject the idea; of . a
customs union, but differences of
opinion in regard Iwth to the form
of the report and the recommend
ation led the minority to report . a
resolution to reject the whole 6ut
iect. These delegates, it is eaid,
felt that as long as the United
States lays a tariff on . wool, the
principal article produces! in their
countries, reciprocity would not
benefit them.
HEAVY LOSS.

LosAkgeles, Cal., March 11.
During the recent cold rains a lot
of valuable brood mares lelonging

of them have leen prostrated with

Importation of American Cattle.
London, March 11. John Leng,
member for Dundee, in the House
of Commons asked whether the
Department of Agriculture was
ready to grant the demand of 'the
Scotch farmers for equal facilities
with others for importing cattle
from the United States and Can
ada. He also asked whether . the
condition of American cattle justi
fied the regulation providing for
their slaughter at the port where
they were landed. '
The Right Hon. Henry Chaplin,
head of the Agricultural Depart
ment, replied that the American
Government was not . complying
with the conditions of the- act ' of
1878, and that therefore the . preer
cut restrictions could not be relax
ed. In 1889; he said, totty-severi

Mr. Ed Lyon, whose present field

savs the last enow, storm there was

that in some places the roads run

deep, where it has been, thrown
up by lour gangs oi snoveiers
from one to another. -It , will
take the chinook some time

WHY NOT?
From The Chicago Tribune.
Chief Busy head, 'Indian Terri

WvahingtonV lobbying, for , his .

strlpD ' -v:-? -":-- y,. 7X- ;
. ."Look here, Bushyhead," said a
friend, "I believe you are up to
some mischief. . 'What are you
staying in Washington so long
for?"
"I am here for my people," said
the Indian.
"What are you doing for your
people?" '
The old chief drew his friend
aside and, effecting the manner of
secrecy-said; "I am lobbying for
Senator Morgan's scheme to 6end
the negroes back Jo Africa,"
, "What haye'your people to do
l with' that?" - ; '
". "Why," eaid Buebyhead, "whe
weJiave8nceeeded in deporting
the negroes, then we.will inttoducj
a,bill to deport the' wiite people.
That will- put the' country in the
hands J its rigbtfdlt owners."
: v Well," said the white man, "if
that js your game I think we shall
have to adopt the suggestion of
that old itineraut preacher who
nsed to be known throughout Ohio
and. Indiana as 'Immortal J. N."
. "What was that?"
"Why, right after the war he
went-through the country telling
the people how to pay the great
National debt without expense to
the Federal Government. 'Let
Congress pass an act,' said he,
conveying the entire- public do
main to the Indians and requiring
the creditors of the Nation to loot
to the Indians for payment, and
then to do as it has alwavs done

the Indians.' "
A Good Washington Hotel.
Harry Askin, who travels ahead
of the Casino Opera company, tells
a good story about iun-loving
Jimmy Powers and a member of
the Casino chorus recently import
ed from England, says the Bosloit
Globe. The company had just
arrived in Washington and the
Englishman asked Powers for
information about the hotel?.
"Oh, there are lots of them here,"
answered the comedian. "There's
the Wil lard, the Arlington, the'

"But I mean a bloody, good
'ouse one for two and a 'ali or
three dollars a day."
"It's a bang up hotel you want,
is it, my boy? Well, there's the
White House, llow'llthat striL

"It's a good 'un?" -;
'.'None better in the land. The
president and his wife stop there
all the time."
"Let's get a cab and drive lwvet.
I'd like to-sec his nobs, you
know." . ...... . .: .
Arriving at the gate leading to
the. White House, Powers told his
friend to go and engage the rooms.
'In less : than three minutes the
Britisher returned ,. .-iookif) g f ero
cious enough to chew the joker
into mincemeat.' ' It was: an hour
or two before he "became sufficient
ly ealm to appreciate - the joke.
finally, ' however, he:" recovered
sufficiently to relate his experience
as follows: ' '. ;
