Deaths From Snow Slide.
Tlio sudden melting by tho recent
heavy rains of the unusual amount
f snow on the. ground has caused
many rUers to overflow all over tao
oimtry and caused damage which
anni.t ul present be estimated. Tho
unit hern part of Puffalo has experi
enced a flood caused by tho rising of
IJufTalo and Ca.enovia creeks which
tins not been equalled in many years.
People were shut off from the rest of
Lhe cily fur from 12 to 15 hours. No
lives were lost though many were eu
lunecrod. The worst reports coma
from rutsiiurs, where 5n.nfln men arn
temporarily Idle from enforced shut
ting down of mills. Allegheny City Is
a modern Venice and every sort or
Improvised water craft Is In service.
Central New York has suffered se
verely. Th 'if is n washout on the
Wetertown and Ordcnsburg at Ann
villo and en tho Central at Oriskany.
A bad freshet in Wappinger's creek,
which empties into the Hudson rlvcr
at New Hamburg, did serious damrxgo
to the Dutchess .Print works at Vai
plncer's Falls anil caused delay to
traffic on (ho New York Central road.
The Iron draw bridge on which the
railroad crosses the creek at Its niouih
was threatened. The force of the wa
ter and Ice under the bridge was rais
ing the structiiie from underneath mil
Ihreatcning to lift It from Its anchor
age. Three heavy locomotives were
used as w-lihts to hold the bridge
down, and tirfflc was confined to ono
track, which caused delny In tho move
ment of trains, most of them being an

Reduction In Butter and Eggs.
Iliadstiect s report for the week
Fays- Current demand is of full vol
ume for this season of the year, while
business on spring account goes for
ward In large volume. This, too, In
the face of unfavorable weather condl
lions in larRc sections of the country,
Interniplii n to mail and telegraph fa
cilities and the check to transporta
tion cpcnitlons accentuating older
troubles growing out otcar shortages.
Inel"inc!it weal her has, however,
helped retail trade In rubber goods
and i iots and shoes. Prices show
very little? Important change during
the week.
The heivy break in whent prices
at the close of last week, contrary to
cxpci 1st Urns, (11.1 not bring to light
the repotted large waiting business on
export account. Corn, among the ce
reals, noted the chief advance of tho
week.
Hog produces have been Irregular,
In sympathy with grain, anil also with
the movement of live hogs to market.
Some reduction in prlce3 of country
produce, notably eggs and butter, Is
reportable.
Iron and steel are quieter on the
surface, hut consumption remains un
diminished. Finished products show
no diminution of demand and the scar
city of steel lu still tho feature, leading
to predictions that Imports of this ma
terial will be very heavy.
In textiles cotton coods appear to
be facing n crisis. Woolen goods dis
play good activity, though labor troub
les are sti'l unsettled.
Censured by Senate.
Senators Mi l.aurln and Tillman
of South Carolina were severely cen
sured by the United States senate for
tho sensational encounter between
the two senators on tho floor of
tho senate during the consider
ation of the Philippine tariff bill.
The ndcpC m of the resolution of
censure probably closes tho Incident
fo far as Mr. Mcl.aurin is concerned.
Purine; the roll call, when Mr. Till
man's name was called, he added a
senntion to the proceedings by ris
ing and saying with 111 concealed
emotion: "Among gentlemen an apol
ogy for an offense committed under
icat of blood Is usually considered
uifl'clciit."
Mr. Tillman's words Induced Mr.
Kean of New Jersey to rise at tho
-ontltislon of the roll and say: "Hav
ing heard tho senator from South
Carolina again insult the senate, I
rhancc my vote from aye to no."
At the rerntest of Mr. Harrows, tho
fialcnient of Mr. Tillman was read
by the clerk. Instantly tho South
Carolina senator disclaimed ar.y In
tention of being offensive to the senate
and aid if his remark" were so coii
sld. re 1. h, would withdiaw them.
The thair (Fryo) paid that by unan
imous coi;. cut they might be with
drawn, but Mr. Dietrich of Nebraska,
Objected. The Incident was closed
w ithout further comment.
Secretary Hay's Memorial Speech.
With impressive, dignity Secretary
Hay arose at the McKliiley memorial
service in the Capitol Thursday and
placed upon the desk in front of him
a roll of manuscript. The secretary's
limne is slight and his scholarly fac?
is usually pale, but there was a flush
upon his check. As he begun to read
with a :slow, clear enunciation he
Kccnicd aware of the intense interest
not alone in his subject, but in his own
personality, as he read his tribute of
I love and loyalty to his departed chief.
' Throughout the delivery of Mr. Hay's
I xpoccli the audience listened with
I treat interest, but the peroration coup
ling together as if for all time the
mimes of Washington and Lincoln and
McKliiley seemed to especially Im
press the hearers and as Secretary
Hay uttered the last solemn words the
spectators broke into a perfec t storm
of applause which lasted for several
minutes.
The president himself seemed as
deeply Impressed as those about hi in
aifd both he and the members of the
cabinet were quite as enthusiastic as
th remainder of tho audience. Ona
hour and 25 minutes were consumed
In the delivery of the oration.

known In tho history of state Of Col
orado caused tho deaths of from 30 to
73 men at the Liberty Dell mine on
Smuggler mountain on Friday.
Nearly all the buildings of the Lib
erty mine were carried down by tho

hours, possibly not until tho rescuers

TO TEST THE YACHTS.
Mr. Post Thinks the Greatest
D ffsrence Was In the Crews.
Owner is Witling to Give Use of
Shamrcck II to Race Columbia,
Both Crews to Be American This
Does Not Exactly Meet Mr. Post's
Ideas.
New York, March 4. C. W. Post
ol Ilattle ( reek, Mich., who offered to
charter 11. e Shamrock II In order to
race her against the Columbia, the
Shamrock to have an American and
the Columbia an English crew, has
received a letter from Sir Thomas
l.lptcn In which the latter says:
"In the first place I do not know
whether or not Columbia will be In
commission this season, but If so It
would, in my opinion, be a far better
test to race the Shamrock II against
the Columbia with the latter vessel's
own skipper and crew of Americans
and if you wih to do this I will not
accept a charter of Shamrock II, as
you kindly offer, but will let you
have the use of her during the com
ing season without charge on the con
dition that you fit her out in lacing
trim and pay all expenses for the rac
ing season.
"I do not wish to discourage you,
but I feel certain that the Columbia
would lick you."
Mr. Post said that to race both
boats with American crews would not
decide whether American or British
yachtsmen were superior. He main
tained, he said, that an American
crew could get better results from the
Shamrock and that a British crew
would get less speed from the Colum
bia. He believed that under these
elrrurr.stanres the Shamrock would
win. He paid he would send a repre
sentative to London to complete ar
rangements wilh Sir Thomas Upton.
BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE
Governor Taft Favors 75 Per Cent
Reduction In Duties.
Washington, March 4. Governor
Talt was examined by members of the
Insular committee uf the house on var
ious phases of the Philippine ques
tion. In answer to Representative
Hitt's Inquiry whether there was jeal
ousy between the United States mili
tary and civil authorities, Governor
Taft said human nature was the same
In the Philippines as In the United
Stntes and with a dual form of gov
ernment military and civil It was
inevitable that some friction should be
crented at times.
Governor Taft stated, however, that
each side was sicerely striving to
work out the problems presented. The
governor estimated that the United
States military force could be reduced
to 15.000 men In one year from this
time and he thought 25,OnO men would
suffice now.
Governor Taft Benin expressed him
self favorable to 75 per cent In duties
and said that while the proposed 23
per cent reduction might do some
thing it hardly would afTord the relief
desired. The governor presented let
ters from large employers of labor In
the Islands urging tho need of Chi
nese skilled labor. He gave 250,000
Chinese as the outside figure for the
entire grc up of Islands.
STATUS OF HAWAII.
Appraisers Say Regular Duties Mujt
Be Collected on Imports.
New York. March 4. The board of
classification of the United States
genet al appraisers has announced a
decision re;arding the status of Ha
waii under the tariff laws. A manu
featurlng rompany Imported a hun
dred tons of old scrap Iron from Ha
waii, and tho collector at San Fran
cisco assessed lhe regular duty on It.

that Hawaii was a part of the United
States and that consequently no duties

territory of Hawaii."
The board of classification holds
that under the doctrine laid clown by
the supreme court of the United
States In the "Insular tariff cases," the
protest should be dismissed for want
tf jurisdiction.

THE SHIPPING BILL.
Mr. Frye Made Oeening Statement In
Support of Bill.
Washington, .March 1. The sennt"
began consideration of what is popu
larly known as the shipping subsidy
bill, a measure to provide for ocean

miliation of Ani 'i tcuns en -need in the
shipping industry.
