KILLING TIME.

A Great Doal of Wind but Little Work in the House.

AN OLD-TIME PARTISAN DEBATE.

Southern Outrage* the Subject—Proceed. I«B» l» the Seiinte—The Kopublloans Finally Agree Upon

Silver Legislation.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON-, April 24.—In tlio House yesterday Mr. Ilarmor (Pa.) presented a memorial of tho Manufacturers' Club, of Philadelphia, representing many millions of capital Investodin American industries and many thousands of workmen earning American wages, in favor of prompt action on tariff legislation which shall check the importation of articles producod by our own people. Referred.

Tho Houso then wont into commltteo of the whole on the logislativo appro* priation hill, tho pending question being on the motion of Mr. Dunnoll (Minn.) to strike out tho clause providing clerks for Senators. After considerable debate ho motion to strikeout was lost by a voto of 85 to 87.

In speuldng to a verbal amendment Mr. Kelley (Kan.) replied to a remark made by Mr. Allen (Mass.) to tho effect that some of the newly-appointed postmasters in Mississippi had moved their offices out of the towns into the country. Thinking that there must be some reason for this, he (Mr. Kelley) had gone to the Post-Office Department and had been informed that in some places it was impossible for a Republican postmaster to sccuro a location in a town and ho was obliged to go to the country. As an instance of the manner in which somo Republican postmasters wore treated in tho South he read a letter froij^W. A. Finley, appointed in May as postmaster at Abbeville, S. C., who states that shortly after his appointment he was set upon by a mob led by Ward S. Cothran, son of Congressman Cothran, and beaten with barbed wire and ordered to leave the town.

Mr. Enloe (Tonn.)—Did you write the lotter for him? Mr. Kelley—I want to state to the gentleman that I did write the letter. [IJorisive laughter on Democratic side.] I wroto the lotter at his request [Rcnowod laughter.

Mr. Henderson (la.)—If you stop your sneering and deny tho facts it will bo better. [Further laughter on tho Democratic side.]

Mr. Rowoll (111.)—It is funny to the other side of tho House to hear accounts of murder and whipping with barbed wires.

Mr. Kelloy—Tho gontleman signed the lotter in my presence. Mr. McMillin—Why did he not write tho lotter?

Mr. Kelloy—On account of the outrage. His arm is paralyzed. [Derisive laughter.]

Mr. Itoutollo—I insist that a member on this floor shall not bo treated as postmasters and mail clerks in the South.

Continuing, Mr. Kelley said that he did not agree with the gentleman from Mississippi in his criticism of tho President lie did not complain that the President played with his little grandchild, but ho wished he would cease it long enough to see to it that every man in tho United States, black or white, is undor tho protection of the flag. [Applause and laughter.] lie referrod to a speech which he mado at Fort Smith denouncing the Clayton murder, and said that he had received many lottors from peoplo in Arkansas thanking him for it, and had received a lotter from a Grand Army post inclosing a resolution of thanks.

Mr. Tarsnoy (Mo.) inquired whether the resolution contained any reference to tho litigation going on between the gentleman and his son against a colored* congregation in Fort Smith to prevent tho crection of a colored church on the ground that it was a nuisance.

Mr. Kolloy denied that thero was any such litigation pending, lie did not own a piece of ground in Arkansas.

Messrs. McRae and Rogers (Ark.), however, insisted that the son was involved in such a litigation.

In tho discussion which ensuod thero wan a great deal of confusion and fun. Mr. Kelley being bombarded with questions, humorous and otherwise and replying to them in kind. Neither questions nor answers had the slightest reference to tho appropriation bill.

Mr. Tarsnoy (Ma) inquired whether in a speech mado by Mr. Kolloy in a public hall in Washington he had used the expression that "a white girl was just as good as a colored girl."

Mr. Kelley replied that he did not remember, but he would say on this floor: "A white girl was just as good as a colored girl." Ho dolled the gontleman from Missouri to deny it. [Laughter.]

Mr. Cothran (S. C.) said thero was just onough of fact in tho flaming lotter which had boon road by tho gentleman from Kansas relative to tho Abbovillo case to make out a story. Thero was a town there was a post-office: thero was an applicant for the postinastership, and thero woro somo hot-headed young men, of which his son was one. Those young mon, not for tho purposo of doing Flnloy any harm, wont to his house ono night and mado somo demonstration. With a guilty consclonco, ho had broken out at tho back door and run down to tho railroad track. In jumping down a cut ho had broken his leg. Tho young mon had sont for a physician and had paid all tho expenses of tho treatment. That was all there was to tho story.

Mr. j'.ogors (Ark.) called attention to the fact that under leave to print tho gentleman from Kansas had printed in tho Record vile calumnies on tho State of Arkansas. Had tho gentleman no shamo or deconcy, no idea of propriety, no character to lose and none to make? Was ho lost—irretrievably lost? What sort of a constituency had ho? Did they know him? The speoob he had printed in tho Record would bo a perpetual momorial to the character of tho man Kansas sont to tho National legislature, and would accentuate the great loss Kansas experienced when the Administration claimed tho services of his esteemed And able predecessor. Mr. Ryan. It was charitable to attribute his conduct to montal depravity that came of unprovoked malico or blind prejudice, that idiotic offspring of an impenetrable ignorance.

Pending further discussion tho committoo roso and tho House adjourned. TUB WORK OF THK SENATE.

WASHINGTON', April 24.—In tho Senate Wednesday Senator Chandler (N. H.) offered a resolution to adopt a standing rule that whonovor "a quorum Bhall not

The resolution was reforreA.

THK SILVER QUESTION.

WASHINGTON, April 24.—Tho Republican membois of the coinage committee of tho Houso and Senato, who have been in conferonce for several days with roforinco to tho silver question, W'odnosday afternoon reached an agreement They will recommend to the two bodies they represent the passage of a bill directing tho Secretary of the Treasury to purchase 4,500,000 ounces of silver per month, provided so much is offered for sale, and to issue in payment therefor Treasury notes, which shall bo redeemable in lawful money of tho United States. Tho bill provides that tho holders may demand bullion at market valuo in exchange for the notes and tho Secretary of tho Treasury may redoem tho notes in bullion at market value should he so desire on such demand. Tho Treasury notes whioh aro proposed to be issued are not mado legal tender by this action. It is presumed that they will become currency, liko our Bilver certificates or other currency issued, but riot made legal tender but by special designation. The Treasury notes which aro to be issued in payment for silver are to bo receivable for nustous duties and may be deposited by National banks as security for circulation. Tho bill as agreed on was adopted tty the House Republican caucus Wednesday night

Now Crevasses Reported, While the Old Ones Grow Wider.

PORTIONS OF NEW ORLEANS FLOODED.

A Uellef That the |Losses In the Stricken Section Will Kxceed •2,000,000— The Tomb of Jefferson Davis.

Under Water.

FROM BAD TO WORSE.

BAYOU SARA, La., April 24.—Seven crevasses wore reported Wednesday betweon this placo and Waterloo. This makeB nino on tho Polnto Coupoo front. The devastation in that and the southwestern parish will be terrible. The Stella Wilde, arriving from above, brought a large lot of peoplo from tho other side. She had to run up Bayou Sara and land thom at Lower St Francisvllle. Tho rain continues and Tuesday night It poured down in torrents, causing a freshet in tho bayou and a rise of five inches in the town. This extra rise caused additional lossos, and the merchants had a large amount of goods damaged. Tho effoct of the crevasses, however, caused a decline hero of twolve inches, which affords.groat relief and loaves some of the stores on Front street free of water. Two breaks are roported on Old river, one of which is on Coyle's place.

PLAquEMiNK, La., April 24.—The rain came down in torrents Tuesday night, and for the twonty-four hours ended Wednesday morning six inches of water had fallen. The town has been filled with people from the country, some bringing in their families and cattle and others seeking lumber to fight back water. The Plaquemlne Lumber fc Improvement Company has suspended work at its Indian Village mills on Bayou Plaquemlne and has oommrnced a levee to keep tho water out It is extremely doubtful whether it will succeed. The great question is how high will the water come. Most of the planters have based their calculations on the water of 1882, but the water this year is higher and it is feared that it will be more destructive.

Many families froip Grand river and in the interior have moved out and are camping above Bayou Plaquemlne.

BATON ROUGE, La., April 24.—Tuesday night the levee at Lobdell's landing, nine miles above here, gave way, and the break Is now 300 feet wide and ten feet deep. The water from the crevasse is visible from this city, flowing south through the plantations on the opposite side of the river. Owing to the storm of wind and rain Wednesday night tho broak at Martinez widened to 800 feet, and It is believed to be beyond control. The stock from that neighborhood is being bi-ought here for safety ..and the negroes are fleeing to the hllla.

The water from this crevasse will overflow about fifteen plantations. James Lilly, Jr., a joung man of this parish, while attempting to cross the river at Port Hudson in a skiff was-sucked under in the whirlpool and drowned.

NEW ORLEANS, April 24.—Superintendent. Spellinan, of the Shell Boaoh railroad, says there are eleven breaks, from fifteen to 150 feet wide nnd from four to eight feet deep, along that road, and that all can bo closcd by prompt action. The crovasse on Congressman •^Wilkinson's Myrtlo Grove plantation, -thirty-five miles below this city on tho right bank, is nov.- 700 feet wide and eight feet deep. No effort will be made to close it until the river declines.

The indications now are that tho losses from the high water of IS90 will exceed those of 1882, when the datnago was estimated at $27,000,000. Tho damago to the cotton depends upon the duration of the' flood. If the water does not go down in time to plant it will entail a loss of 88,000,000 or 930,000,000. The: sugar-cane is immediately damaged whenever overflowed, and tho loss in suoli cases will be nearly 90 per cent The outlook for the coming week is very bad indeed.

The situation throughout the flooded districts is lndeod distressing. A heavy rain and wind-storm has caused the backwater to rise rapidly. At Morganta houses are floating away and people are fleeing for their lives. Metarie cemetery, with all its beauty, and the tomb of Jeff Davis, are under water.

The wind Tuesday night again caused the lake water to encroach upon tho rear of tho city north of Claibourne street, and some troublo is experienced by water from tho canal flowing over the banks of the old basin on both sides between Johnson and Calvez streets, but not sufficient to do any great damage. The rear of the Seventh ward up to Roman streot, from Klyslan Fields to St Bernard street and tho entire rear of the Eighth ward, aro flooded and the water Is rapidly rising.

In answer to'tho appeals of the pollcojury of Polnto Coupoo four steamboats and a dozen barges have been sent to that parish to rescue the peoplo threatened with overflow, their household goods, stock, etc. Governor Nicholls has tho Alton and other steamers in readiness hero to send to the parish in caso more aro needed. The West Baton Rouge breaks are likely to cause a similar demand for boats for tho peoplo of that parish.

Captain Kingman, United States engineer In charge of the Governmont works in this district who is at tho Maganza break, has telegraphed to tbo Secretary of War that thero is groat suffering there and danger to lifo.

It is now belloved that tho Techo country, including tho parishes of St Mary, St. Martin and Iberia, will suffer severely from tho water preclpltatod on them from the Polnto Coupee and West Baton Rougo crevasses. j&Tho cotton farmors are now watching the rivor anxiously, for unless they can plant their cotton by tho middle of May they will have a short crop or nono at all, and that time is rapidly approaching. Tho high water is later than evor, and, as tho rivor always rises In June, groart fears aro entertained that the Juno riso will catch tho Mississippi in its present swollen Btate and before there is time to repair tho breaks in the levoes.

THE TOILERS' WAR.

Prospoot of a Ttemondous Labor Outbroak at Chicago.

ADDITIONAL STRIKES ANTICIPATED.

The Prophecy Made Tlmt 50,000 Workmen Will He Idle liy the Wl of May— Mi wt«ukee Carpenters to

Quit Work.

THE .SITUATION IN CIIICAOO. CHICAGO, April 24.—Tho Morning News hns tho following: ''O'lili'ugo is standint on the verge ol the mosl tremendous outbreak ot labor It bus ever seen." "These were the word* uttered yesterday by one of the bcst-lnforineii imost conservative lubor leuders in the city. When asked his reasons for .such an opiuion the sp.tlter suid: "May I IH fixed as tho duy oil which organized labor Is to ask for the eight-hour day. Suppose that the carpenters' strike is still unsettled when that day i-otnos. In such ao event ut least 30,0.*J men In the building trades will be idle. The sluek-yurds employes—1.1,0)0 in number—are determined to have elRht hours or a strike. Added to these aro tho gaslitters, who go out next Monday: tho harnessmukers, who quit work tho name day 1,000 brick makers who are already out—put these together and you have nearly fiO.UOO men who will Slop work within tho next ten days unless something la done to avert the trouble. "The prophet-)', ominous as It sounds, scorns to be well founded."

Tho Carpenters and Builders' Association still refuses to mako a move looking toward a settlement with tho employes, and talks about standing out against the journeymen's demands for recognition all summer If noccessary. On tho othor hand, tho strikers seem confident of their ability to hold out

President Rowland, of tho United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, arrived In this city Wednosdny from brothorhood headquarters In Philadelphia, and brought funds with bim to support tlict strike. Ho said the carpenters felt sure of winning the fight, Thoy have the backing of tho American Federation of Labor, all tho funds needed for a long siege, and have been thoroughly prganlzed for a long while with a view to this movement They were perfectly willing to accept a settlement by arbitration—In fact tho main issue is tho principle of arbitration and recognition of tho union. When asked as to wbethor there was a probability of an immediate settlement of tho strike, the president shook his head dubiously and said that lie was afraid it would be some days before such a question could bo answered.

The Carpentors' Council bas received word from tho citizens' committee that tho committee will mako anothor effort to secure a conference with tho Carpentors and Builders' Association, the new Boss Carpenters' and Bulldors' Association and tho Carpenters' Council, with a view to securing »ome sort of compromise settlement of tho strike.

Organization among tho stock-yards employes has boon going on for somo time, but so quietly that but few know of the movement until Wednesday, when it was announced that tho 15,000 men intorcsted will ask for an eighthour day, commoncing Al ay 1, and if the request is refused will go out In a body. Thero la touo no ipioatlBnrsr Wjrg-nBHSHiia-move—eight hours is the demand, and on that the men claim to bo ablo to control every depnrtmont of labor in the packing-house district. It is said that N. K. Falrbnnk & Co., who omploy 2,000 men, and Fowler Bros, aro willing to grant tho short work-day, but until a formal demand is mado none of the firms will commit themselves on the subject

Fifty brick-yards in tbo northwostern partof the city are idle and 1,000 brlckmoldors aro out on a strike for better pay and less work Some of the bosses have already given in. It is likely that somo agreomont will bo reached by which a compromise with tho strikers will be mado.

Tho gas-fitters of the city will go out on striko noxt Monday morning to enforce a demand for tho eight-hour day and a minimum rate of wages of 83.50 per day. Notico of tho intended demand was served on tho bosses two weeks ago. Tho employers have decided not to answer tho meu's communication oxcept by discharging all gasfitters on Saturday nj^lit.-

Tho striko fever has struck the tailors employed in shops that do tho work for largo manufacturing housos dealing in roady-mado clothing. Thoso employod In this line of work aro as a rule girls and women. They complain that tho bosses aro cutting tho prices heretofore paid for tho making of garments, chiefly vests and trousers, and increasing tho number af hours of work roqulrod. Thoy are opposed to these acts on the part of their employers, and determined to appeal /or eight hours and an incroaso of compensation for tho services rendored. A demand has beon mado upon tho bosses for tho concessions cited, and unless tho same are granted a strike will follow.

Tho demands of the harness-makers for an Increaso ol 15 per cent on tho present rpte-of wages, both for day and piece work, and tho establishment of a minimum rato per day for fitters and stllchers hired by the wook, wore presented to tho iaanufacturors yestorday. No Immedlato answor was glvon, but it is thought that if the demands arc not granted ontire concessions will bo mado that will avoid a strike.

AFRAID OF A STRIKE.

BLOOMINGTON, 111., April 24.—Great piles of soft coal are rapidly accumulating on temporary platforms at Roodhouse, Normal, Joliet, Chicago and othor convenient points along the lino of the Chicago & Alton railroad.
