MISSISSIPPI MAD.
The Great Eiver Playnig Havoo
with Property at
St. Louis.
Flooding Many Blocks of
Buildings and Sweep
ing off Lumber.
Immense Damage to Mills and
Destruction of Bail-
road Tracks.
ST. Louis , May 4 1 a. m. The j
situation in the extreme north river
front is Tery alarming. The Triter ;
works seem entirely surrounded. The
lower service works are only 15 inches
above the water line. Several ice
houses and lumber yards in the neigh
borhood ar s dangerously exposed , but
the most important and unsafe part of
this section la the Union Stcck yards ,
which srelexposjd to the pressure of
raising fbcd on the etst and south
sides. The superintendent has a large
body of men and taams fighting the
danger. TheEau Claire lumber yards
are entirely afleat. The stamping mi'l '
at the foot of Buchanan street is
partly under water. The -water hai
been putting out the fires in the fur
naces of Seebk's planing mill east of
the Wab&ah railroad tracks.
Three dozen neat dwellings have
been flooded in the lower stories and
the families have been Compelled to
move to the second elory. Stables
and outhousea are ready to float off
Between the foot of North Market
street and Bremcr the amount of
damage done by the water is very
g real and every inch of rise greatly
increases the danger to all property
from North Market to the waterworks
in the aouthern portion of tha city.
The depredations and ravages have
caused not only great inconvenience in
the way of uspensionof business bnt
very heavy direct pecuniary loss. At
the foot of Chauteau avenue the wat
er Is rushing through the lower story
of Annes' elevator B , from which
barges are loaded. Just halow St.
Louis the Coal Tar Company's works
are entirely surrounded by the flood.
The fires in their furnaoaa are all
stoppsd and the yard at present is a
scene of desolation and waste. Bar
rels , lumbar and other materials ara
floating about in the most promiscu
ous manner.
TheKeokuk Packet Company's of
fice and storeroom ? , sectional dock
works , and in fact everything along
the river front north of the arsenal is
submerged and the railway tracks are
unfit for use. A large gang of men
have bean at work during the past
twenty-four hours removing the Iron
Mountain car * from the switches near
est the rirtr , bnt in some cases it was
Found impoesiblo , the iraolu having
become too weak to allow passage of
iho engines.
11At one point the bare tops of two
freight cars are risible above the
water. Along the river bank from
Choteau avenue to the arsenal is pre
sented one continnous scene of the
river's severe havoc in the submerged
railroad tracks and factory yards , and
by the deserted buildings. Below the
arsenal are further evidences of the
encroachments made by the rising
water. At Carondelet the steam ferry
boat "Fred. Hill" has ceased running
and tha Jupiter iron works quit on
Sunday , the water being three feat
deep in the Btcck house. At the Yul-
can works the river pumps are six feet
under watar. With two feet more the
entire worki would have to suspend.
East Carondelet is in the most de-
spairable condition. Ftom the bottom
tom to the bluffs , and for five miles
below it is under water. South , on
the Iron mountain road. Merri-
mack ii completely submerged for two
mllct west of the mouth of that river.
The situation in East St. Lonls Is in
much the same armed neutrality. The
indications are that the river will be
still higher. The steamboats count
upon another foot , but cin't see where
more than that is coming from.
THE OTTAWA EIVEK KISISG.
OTTAWA , Ont. , May 4 1 a. m. -

very ranidly. It hsi risen two fecit
oil inches since Saturday. There is
still a largo quantity of snow and ice
in the upper Ottawa region.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
A SENSATIONAL EXECUTIVE SESSION
TO-DAY THAI CAUCUS.
WASHINGTON , May 4 1 a. m.
Senator Dawea authorizes the an
nouncement that the statement sent
out from Washington last night , pur
porting to give the text of letteia ad
dressed by the president to Senator
Dawes is devoid of the slightest cle
ment of truth , and there is not now
and never was such a letter in exist
ence. The president has addressed
several prlyate notes to Dawes during
the past week , but not of the charac
ter of the fabrication refftired to
above. On the other hand a wairc
personal friend of the president says
that he saw the letter in question and
that the publication purporting to
give its contents is correct.
CABINET MEETING.
At the cabinet meeting yesterday ,
the senatorial situation was discussed
dud the fact that the executive seesion
would bs held to-day or to-morrow
was confidently predicted. The star
route investigation wa ? also talked
over.
DOESEY TO WAIlJlllS TUEN.
After the oibinot adjourned Attor
ney General McVeagh accompanied
Postmaster General Jamei to the
p03tofnc3 department whera they
met eX-Sen&tor Dorsey and his attor
ney , RobeIngenolh and discussed
the application of Dorsoy for immedi
ate and special investigation of his
connection with the alleged star
route irregularities. Parties to the
discussion decline to say what was de
cided upon , but others In a position to
know aver that the application of
Doraey was not agreed to , it being de *
terminei to investigate , all the Con
tracts in their proper1 order.
WHAT THE CAUCUS DID.
The republican senate caucus yes
terday aftoiaoon spent two hours in
diEcuEiing the situation and adjourn
ed subject to call. As to what was at
tempted and what was accomplished
there were two rumors last night.
One that the committee of safety is
not yet discharged but will make an'
other report bsfora an executive ses
sion is held. This rumor is scarcely
at all credited. The other , which is
accepted generally and h denied by
no memberof thocaucnse' , Is that the
whclo matter was temporarily dispos
ed of by deferring the whole question
of consideration of confirmations until
the secretary compelled immediate
action.
It is known that the Saaate will go
Into executive session to-day , that
unreferred nominations will be given
to the appropriate committees and
that the Chinese treaties will then be
taken np. All of this week tha cau
cus opinion wrs expressive of that ,
under the existing circumstances ,
"aufiicicet unto the day was tha evil
tneroof. " Senator Oonkhng stated
p.gain in caucus that ho was ready
and willing that all nominations be
proceeded with at once and it was the
wish of the majority that no further
attempt to classify the nominations be
made at present.
SENATE.
RECOUNTING THE VIRTUES OF THE
V1UGINIAS ,
WASHINGTON , May 4 1 a. m.
Senator Davis , of West Virginia , was
awardedod the floor upon the opening
of the senate and spoke for two hourj
on th ? debt question of Virginia and
Wc3t Virginia. He claimed that the
democrats in those states had done all
in their power to discharge their debt.
All attempts at repudiation had been
made by the republicans or by the ro-
ndjastors with republican approval ,
Virginia had been honorable in the
assumption of her share ol the old
debt and West Virginia did not mean
to be far behind. Her constitution
provides for the payment of her share
and provisions for fulfilling that pro
'
visio'n were surely , though perhap :
slowly , progressing. In review
ing the public accounts bear
ing on the question ii
those states , Mr. Davis was inter
rupted by questions from Senaton
Dawes , Sherman , Hoar and Kelloj/g
and was supported in his statement
by his colleague , Mr. Camden.
The discussion was continued nni
2:35 : o'clock , when , on motion of Mr
Dawes , the senate adjourned untl
noon Wednesday.

LOSDON , May 4,1 A. M.-Tho ar
rest of Mr. John Dillon , M. P. for
Tlpperary , which wea announced In
these diipatches yesterday , has caused
a profound aeniation in Dublin and
throughout Ireland. While most of
the London papers approve of the arrest
In their ex-
rest , there la perceptible
preasionsof apprvvat an nnder.cur-
wut of doubt ts to the wisdom of tha
step and ts to tha fesr of its conae-
quencea.
Mr. Michael Brennan , apeaklng at
the regular weekly meeting of the
land league , msde an eloquent address
against Dillon's arrest. He assarted
that John Dillon , shut up In prison at
Kilmainham , would prove to bo a
greater and more dangerous foe to
landlordism than ha was when ho enjoyed -
joyed hi * freedom. "In vain , aald
Mr. Brennan , "docs thus England
again aeok to Intimidate and force us.
We cannot now be trightsned even by
her most oppressive cruel acts. For
every imprisoned patriot forty will
come forward to take hfs placa.and
unless the whole land ia turned Into a
patriotic Irishman Is
prison and every
shut up in jail the voica of Ireland
pleading for her rights and decl.rlng
that she will have them cannot b3
stopped. Even If every Iriseman wai
ao inclined , th ir hrethern in the
United States and Australia , Canada
and elsewhere would take up their cry
and repeat it until1 Heaven echoed it
and the whole world heard and heeded
it" .
