TRINITY RIVER
IS RECEDING
QUICKLY NOW
As Waler Falls Many a House
That Existed Last Sunday Is
Found to Be Missing.
CARCASSES OF ANIMALS
SCATTERED EVERYWHERE
Bp«rlal Tclpgrnm to Th« Express.
DALLAS, T*x., May 30. -From 6 o'clock
last n Iff tit until 7 o'clock this mornliw
the flood In the Trinity River, iiihhh-
ured by Volunterr \N>nther Observer O.
A. Klsenlohr, haU receded a foot and nix
inches. Between 7 o'clock this morning
and 6 o'clock this afternoon It fell an ad-
ditional two feet, which i* the most rapid
decline since tin* crrnt was reached. Ac-
cording to Mr. Klsenlyhr, from now on It
Should k«i down much more rupiilly.
Looking More Natural Now.
Tho fiKiireB given out by the observer
today were as follows: 6 p. in. today,
7 a. m. today, 36; 6 i». in. yesterday, 37.6.
From a vantage point on the Commerce
Street bridge, or rather what in left of
Jt. thinvs assumed a more natural appear-
ance In some respects. Looking across
the expanse of river where the wood* n
approach to tho steel span from the west
stood Monday morning, the long yellow
line of the West Dallas pike, stretches
away In the distance, to where It turns
off to the right at the Eagle Ford Itoad.
Hut that's all there is. Not a house re-
mains of the many which fctood there
. Sunday evening last • n«»t a stick of tho
• preai piles of lumber which stood at tho
rack of the big sheds at the western end
of the bridge, and farther out the same
condition exists.
At the Eagle Ford pond there was for-
merly a large group <•! buildings, includ-
ing a fine brick store house. All tho
wooden building are gone and the brick
buildings have been badly damaged.
From there on outhouses have been de-
molished entirely nr shifted from their
underpinning hundreds of feet or more in
every direction.
P. W. and Oliver Beaupre, wlfh Mrs. Oli-
ver Heaupre, narrowly escaped drowning
In tho swift current of the river this
morning by the overturning of the boat
they occupied. They were going to West
Dallas. When near tlte Texas & Pacific;
bridge thoir boat suddenly became un-
manageable and turned over, throwing
all three into tho water. Mrs. Peaupre
managed to keep afloat until she was
swept into some telephone wires, where
she held on until assistance reached her.
Trees Catch the Debris.
To the left down the stream from the
Commerce Street bridge, the trees which
Monday and Tuesday were completely
submerged are tangled full of all sorts
of debris. Farther down, to complete tho
most natural aspect of the scene, inter-
urban cars from Fort Worth and Oak
Cliff are running across the bridge where
yesterday there was a wide gap of swift-
ly running water.
Many reports of live stock rescued
from drowning and held for identifica-
tion by owners reached the Sheriff's of-
fice today. Most of the persons who
either called or sent word are honest
In their efforts to restore tho property
to the owners, who so badly need it now.
"With the resumption of street car serv-
ice, there was not much demand for
boats today. Deputy Sheriff Robert
Laws came in early today from West.
Dallas, where he had been stationed for
the last three days In the effort to main-
tain order and stop the reported pillag-
ing of the ruined homes. TTe reports
that there has been very little of the
latter and none reported to him since he
has remained on the other side. Deputy
Laws' mission was to secure a barrel of
lime to be tested in disposing of the cnr>
fBSses of dead animals, of which there
ore hundreds scattered up and down the
river bottom. Deputy Laws says at least
twenty were burned yesterday afternoon,
with the use of oil and wood, but thnt
the operation was slow and the stench
something awful. Quicklime will be used
hereafter.
Sheriff Ledbetter has received no re-
ports of the findings of any additional
bodies of drowned persons.

Then.
Special Telegram to Tho Express.

try have been damaged about J20.000. The
damage in Red River Valley to crops,

COI..UMBUS, Miss., May Sfl.-Frlend-
shlp Cemetery, which has often In the
past been tho scene of outbursts of elo-
quence and flights of Impassioned ora-
tory from the lips of Gen. Stephen D.
Lee, commander In chief of tho Confed-
erate Veteruns, now contains all that Is
mortal of the great patriot and edu-
cator,
Tho body of the dead General arrived
here from Vlcksburg over the Mobile &
Ohio Railroad at 5 o'clock Friday after-
noon, having been accompanied by mem-
bers of the family and a military escort
of honor, consisting of the Vlcksburg
company and staff officers of the Mis-
sissippi National Guard. The party was
met at tho depot by Ishani Harrison,

ber, the Columbus riflemen and a large

The procession proceeded to tho family
residence on North Seventh Street, whero
the body lay In state until tho hour for

Tho camp as a whole acted as guard of

ADJOURNMENT
OFCONGRESSAT
MIDNIGHT HOUR
Continued From Page One.
ppcech provided the objectors couUl hold
out until Monday morning.
Accordingly there whs fironoral relief
when at 1;30 p. m. a suggestion for a
recess was received by the Republican
leaders from the Democratic wide. The
fact soon developed, as tho recess was
entered upon, that the party friends of
Mr. Stone had been consulting among
themselves and had riftcbsd tlHi Con-
clusion that, if given an opportunity,
they could dissuade him from f further
persistence in his course of obstruction,
and when, after reconvening at 2 o'clock,
ho retired from the floor, it appeared as
if he had been induced to permanently
surrender. He was followed by Mr. Gore,
the blind Senator from Oklahoma, and
that gentleman had proceeded about two
hours when Mr. Stone returned to the
Senate Chamber and created some dis-
may by stating that he had determined
to resume his address as soon as Mr.
Gore should conclude. He, however, af-
forded tho Republicans their anxiously
sought opportunity when he again re-
tired from tho chamber a few minutes
before Mr. Gore had finished his speak-
ing. and was absent when that auspicious
moment arrived.
The end of the filibuster came with a
suddenness that was almost startling.
As Senator Gore resumed his scat, Vino
President Fairbanks promptly stated
that the question was on the adoption of
the conference report, and that under
an order previously adopted, a yea and
nay vote would be taken. This announce-
ment was made by the Vice President in
a matter of fact way, but it meant, the
final touch to the most important legis-
lation of the session.
While the Vice President wns still
speaking Senator Heyburn of Idaho was
on his feet demanding recognition,, but
the clerk had commenced to call the roll
before the Vice President recognized him,
and the point of order was made by Sen-
ator Gallinger that the call could hot be
interrupted.
Before the roll call had been completed
Senator La Follette, who had come into
the chamber a short time before, and who
showed no signs of the strain he had
been under, made a parliamentary in-
quiry as to whether he could not change
his vote of "no" to "yes" in order to
move a reconsideration. He was shut off
on a point of order made by Mr. Aid-
rich.
"Then, in order to take no chance," he
answered, "I change my vote, and do so
for the purpose of moving a reconsider-
ation."
Put he was not allowed to make the
motion. As soon as the Vice President
bad announced the report of the vote
Senators Aldrich and La Follette de-
manded recognition. The former was
recognized, and moved to reconsider the
vote by which Ihe reporl had been adopt-
ed. After a futile parliamentary strug-
gle by Senator La Follette, Senator For-
aker moved to lay Senator Aldrieh's mo-
tion on the table, and this was agreed to,
45 to
President Boosevelt's first Information
nr the collapse of the filibuster in the
8enate and the passage of the currencv
bill was communicated by the Associated
Press, and the President's exuberance
was plainly manifest.
"I will go to the Senate as soon as that
bill Is reudy to sign." he said.
