Washington, April 30.—-The question
01 whether business was to be done by
the senate this week was raised today
by Mr. Pettigrew (silver Ben, S. D.)
when the senate met.
Mr. Pettigrew proposed that the sen-
ate direct a conference on the Indian
appropriation bill.
Mr. Chandler (Rep, N. H.), however,
gave notice that he would Object to
any business being done because there
was a general understanding that none
should be taken up during the absence
of many senators in New York to at-
tend the ceremonies of dedicating the
Grant monument: Other senators pro-
tested that there had been no such
agreement made.
Thereupon Mr. Quay (Rep, Pa.) sug-
gested that before the Indian bill was
disposed of there should be an investi-
gation of the leases of the oil lands of.
the Seneca Indians Of New York, re-
' marking that the senate should know
whether the Indians were being robbed
of valuable interests.
A message from the president trans:
mitting the report of the commission
to adjust the boundary lines between
the United States and Mexico west of
the Rio Grande was read.
Then Mr. Quay presented a resolu-
tion calling upon the secretary of the
interior for information as to whether
the leases of the Senecas‘ oil lands had
been made in the usual manner and
whether there had been any corruption.
It was agreed to without debate.
Lumbermen’s Petition.
During the presentation of memorials
Mr. Spooner (Rep. Wis.) offered one
"from several thousand men who work
for wages in the lumber districts of
Wisconsin." asking for the enactment
of the lumber schedule of the Dingley
bill.
The senate was quite deluged with
resolutions. .
Mr. Vest (Dem., Mo.) offered a res-
olution for a comprehensive inquiry by
the commerce committee of the senate
into the causes of and remedies for the
Mississippi floods and said he would
call it up at the next meeting of the
senate.
Mr. Pettigrew followed with a resolu-
tion calling on the commissioner of la-
bor for information as to the cost of
producing 1,000 feet (board measure) Of
White pine lumber, the answer to in-
clude the cost of work in the woods and
in the mill, both in the United States
and Canada.
This was adopted, with the addition
of a question proposed by Mr. Frye
(Rep, Me.) concerning the cost of
stumpage.
A resolution was offered by Mr. Mor—
gan (Dem., Ala.) and adopted request-
ing the president, if not incompatible
with the public interests, to, transmit
to the senate all correspondence with
the consul general and consuls in Cuba
since the beginning of the -war not
heretofore published.
The senate then adjourned till Mon-
day.
In the House.
The house was in session seven min-
utes today. The journal was not read.
The objection that there was no quorum
present was interposed by Mr. Simpson
(Pop., Kan.,), whereupon Mr. Payne
(Rep.,N. Y.) made a motion to adjou .
Mr. C. W. Stone (Rep, Pa.),who w s
in the chair, held that an adjournment
under the order of the house made last
Friday would be until Monday next.
Mr. Simpson protested vainly that it
was unconstitutional to adjourn for
more than one day without a quorum
and he asked a'n opportunity to be
heard. But the “regular order” was
loudly demanded and Mr. Payne’s mo-
tion was put and carried-74 to 14—most
of the democrats voting With the Re—
publicans. The chaplain in his invoca-
tion today prayed for @139 recovery of
General Henderson of— Iowa, who lies
dangerously ill at his home in Du—
buque, Ia. * ‘ '

tional upon the health of his wife, who
has been ill, becoming sufficiently im—
proved to permit him to leave this

Washington, April 30.———The senate
committee on the District of Columbia
today ordered favorable reports upon
the nominations of John W. Ross and
John B. Wright to be District commis-
sioners. A fight was threatened upon

~ WEEK 1. v v on WALK ,- G'IAzErrn,
LEVEES ENDANGERED.
The River Threatens to Change Its Course
at Vidalia.
Memphis, April 30.—The river at Mem-
phis fell its usual two-tenths Of a. foot
and a continued fall is predicted. One
can imagine, however, the length of
time necessary to drain the water out
of the country opposite Memphis at the
rate of two-tenths of a foot fall each
day, when it is known that the river at
Memphis is still about 32‘: miles wider
than when it was within its banks.
Boats drawing eight feet of water make
daily trips inland into Arkansas to a
distance of from 15 tc 20 miles. The
levees at and near Natchez, Miss, are
in a most critical state. and it 15 feared-
they wilt give way after standing the
flood é’train for so long.
The Tensas and Black rivers are ris-
ing over an inch an hour and the water_
is now within less than a foot 01 the
large New Orleans and Western rail-
road lron bridge at Clayton, La. Trains
are still running, but are unlikely to do
so long. Most of their terminals and
turntables are under several feet of wa-
ter at Vidalia, and cannot be used.
The weather continues threatening.
The river is now within a few inches oi
the top of the levee. which is new earth
and has not had time to settle on the
old levee bed.
The United States engineers are pay-
ing close attention to the Cowpen Point
levee, which was recently constructed
to prevent the river making a cutoff,
leaving Natchez inland and carrying
away Vidalia and a fertile, portion at
Concordia parish. La. This levee.
which is constructed of sandy loam, has
four feet more water on the upper than
on the lower side, with a severe current
around the upper end. Should it give
way the force of wash across Lake Con-
cordia and against the opposite levee
would almost certainly demolish it and
create the cutoff which so much money
has been spent to avert.
A Desperado Killed.
Santa Fe, April 30.—-United States
Deputy Marshal Fred Higgins and
posse of five have had a running fight
with Black Jack’s gang of desperadoes
in the mountains of western Grant
county, N. M., and killed Sid Moore,
one of the desperadoes. The others
escaped. Moore’s body has been taken
to Clifton. Moore is believed to be the
murderer of Ranchman George C.
Smith.
The Newfoundland Fisheries.
London, April 30.—The secretary of
state for the colonies, Joseph Chamber—
lain, received a deputation today of
persons interested in Newfoundland
and who are seeking to remove the
disabilities under which the Newfound-
land fisheries labor. Mr. Chamberlain
said the government was negotiating
with Portugal and hoped to secure the
repeal of the import dues of that coun-
try.
The North American Turnerbund.
St. Louis, April 30.—The turner s0-
cieties of St. Louis look for a large in—
flux for the twenty-seventh national
fest of the North American Turner-
bund, which convenes here next week.
The committees confidently expect 50,-
000 visitors, while other estimates run
as high as 100,000. The North Ameri—
can Turnerbund has societies in all
parts of the country.
Koch’s Latest Lymph.
Washington, April 30.———Fu11 particu—
lars of Koch’s latest development of the
method of treati phthysis by a new
form of tubercul e are given in a re-
port to the state department by Dean
Mason, deputy consul general at Frank-
fort. I-Ie supplies a condensed but suf-
ficiently detailed account Of Koch’s
process of making and administering
the remedy.
That America’s Cup Challenge.
Belfast, April 30.——Mr. Gustav w.
Wolff, member of parliament for East
,Belfast and a partner in the firm of
Harland & Wolff, the well known ship-
builders, says there is no truth in the

yacht to challenge for the America’s
Cup or the Queen’s Cup.

re. A. Brundage died at her home here
