Haskell refused to allow amendment.
After considerable noisy discussion n
compromise wus effected. Several amend-
ments were otl'ercd and rejected.
Dcbateupon the anti-polygamy bill contin-
ued until 2:.'R)o'clock. Though the speeches
mudo were limited to 6 minutes or less
discussion wiisqullo interesting. Carlisle of
Kontucky Tucker of Virginia and Con-
verse of Ohio were tho principal speakers
ill opposition to the bill contending that it
wus unconstitutional und would servo to
disorganize the government of IHuh and
turn It into a stuto of anarchy. For these
reasons and not because they were opposed
to stamping out polygamy they would vote
against the bill.
llobeson. of New Jersey and Haskell of
Kansas advocated the bill the latter charg-
ing that the democrats had endeavored to
kill the bill placing amendments upon it

The Flood.
Memphis March 12. A special from He-
lena suys: The river has fallen an inch
but the overllow in the city has risen an
inch. Careful watch Is beiug put l'urtli to
make assurance doubly sure. The relief
committe have their haiidsfull and are do-
ing good work. Kutions for IHKJ persons
were issued vesterdav. These do not in
clude applicants who are supplied by the
marshul us special commission. Many
colored people are coming in
from the lower district and Irom the
present outlook labor will b scarce on plan-
tations when the time for making crops
comes. News from Clarendon lil'ty miles
west of here gives a gloomy picture ot the
situation. Little or no business is being
done there and wuter is in some places in
the streets.
The board of health announced yesterday

Nkw Oiu-eaxk March. 14. Hon. George
W. McCrain of the Ouachita Telegraph
sends the following to the Times-De niocrat
from Monroe Louisiana: The situation
here is extremely critical. A visit to the
levees above and below the city this after-
noon showed both in great danger though
a large force is at work on them. There are
not five inches to spare on them. The
ier i ooaing through llie levees
in many places. The river here is
six feet higher than the natural bank and
more than ten feet higher than the rear of
the city where the overllow is higher than
in 174 and still rising. The river is rising
at the rate of an inch in twelve hours. A
bout from Camden reports a rise all the way
down the river only three and a half niche"
below the mark of 1N74. Nearly all of
Trenton is under water and In soma places
three feet deep. Business is suspended
ttoads are impassable; communication
only by water. 1'lanting along the river is
suspended. 6tork are huddled together
and many are dying from starvation and

twenty years llain UireaUuied lo-day.
Should it come Monroe the highest point
