Representative Dorscy said this morning-
"I notice the Urn Is criticising me for s'iy ing
I would not support the Mills tariff bill , and
nays that 1 should keep my pledge nnd
not say 1 would not supixirt this bill , as It
may bo amended in the house. If the editor
of the Ur.i : will read his own paper ho will
find good and sufficient reason given therein
for my opposition to this bill , nnd when ho
enys the bill may bo amended In such a man
ner ns to bo acceptable , ho shown thnt lip Is
not conversant xvlth the situation here. Tlio
Mills bill , if It passes , will go through with
out ani amendments of importance. It will
bo passed under the spur of the party lash ,
directed by the party caucus precisely as the
adjournment was forced yesterday on the di
rect tax bill , Tlio northein democrats will
ngaln get down on their knees to the south
ern brigadiers. The deals linvo all
been made. 1 nm opposed to any bill
tn.it puts wool on the free list. The Mills
bill contains some good provisions , but there
nro so many vicious ones that nro against the
Interests of those engaged in ngricultuinl
pursuits that the bill should bo defeated. I
nn anxious to vote for a fair and equitable
jovision of the tnriff n icvlslon that will
tend to take the bin den of tuxes fiom the
funnel s nnd the laborlngmen I w ill vote to
put on the free list n number of nrtieles
named in the Mills bill ; nlso some others not
mentioned in tlio bill ; nlso to reduce the
duties on tlio metul and chemical schedules
whcie such notion will not injure the indus
tries. I have urged during the entire ses
sion that our paity take nn nnlrmntivo posi
tion on the tariff , and am now very sure that
the substitute that tlio minority will offer for
the Mills bill will receive the suppoit of nil
republicans nnd bo satisfactory to Hit }
counti.\ . "

I''rom the Sick SI.Herman.
NnYonu , Apul 1J Dr , Andeison said
this mot ning that Conkling rested well all
night and slept quite as well as the night pre
vious. Ho only awoke when called upon to
take his medicine. The patient no longer
walks the room ns ho did two dajs ago. lie
gets up nt intctvals nnd moves mound , but
not In the same ncivous and excited way ho
foimcily did , "Ho has now passed out of
the lit si acute siages of iho uisGuau , " iI :
tlio doctor , "nud docs not suffer the pain that
he did at first. Ho has taken moio nouiish-
incut lust night than on any pievious night.
Tlio patient has not lost sixty pounds of
llesh "
About 10 this morning Dr. Hnrker issued n
bulletin sai ing that Conkling passed n good
night. Ho slept well , and hismind is cleaicr
this moining.
Dr Haiker Issued n bulletin at 200 ; this
nftei noon , saIng that Conkling had been
sleeping quietly for the last two hours nnd n
half , and that there was u llttlu improve
ment since this morning.
Dr. Andeison came out of the house nt 0

statement of Dr Haiker that Conkling was

At U 10 p. m. Henry Melville. Mr. Conic-
ling's law paitner , came out of tlio house and
said there was no change in Con Ming's con
dition The family , lie said , were very anx
ious. Tim phisicluns had picdictcd Conkling
would bo better inside of Unco das. The
prediction hud not been fulfilled. The gwt-
cr.il impiession nt the HoITinnn house is that
Conkllng's condition is moro precarious than
indicated in tlio bulletins. Wliilo some of the
bulletins have been favorable , yet there
seems to bo n world of iescrvation In all Dr.
HaUer has gi\en out. On the other hand ,
not a fnvoiublo bulletin bus been issued
while the distinguished patient was

very nei vous , or oven worse excited. In the

Dr Harker culled shortly after 11 o'clock

ST. PAUL , April 13. [ Special Telegram to
the Hcc. ] The wntcr has rnlsed ubouttwo
feet on the fiats on the upper lovco during six
hours. Most of the shanties there Imvto been
vacated , their occupants seeking shelter with
friends in other parts of the city or in other
houses on the bluffs , or in the few houses
thnt stand on the ground that has not been
Inundated This morning the lints presented
the appearance of n lake bordered by the
roofs of houses. Small outbuildings have
Dcen lifted from their foundations , nnd float
ing ngalnst the fences hnvo toppled over.
Occnsslonnlly ono might sco n man rescuing
his family nnd household effects from the up
per story of his shaiitj , whither ho had re
moved them in the hope that the water would
not t iso to the second floor. Dogs , babies ,
cats , bedding , women , nnd all sorts of cookIng -
Ing utensils wcro thus rescued , being placed
in boats and taken to the levee.
At midnight last night the signal service
gunge measutcd 13 8. Since then it 1ms risen
to 141 , that being the last measurement
taken. At ! i p. m. to-day Signal Officer Ly
ons is of the opinion that the tivcrhas
i cached its maximum , nnd whatever rise
occurs within tlio next twenty-four boms
will bo slight , unless thci e should bo heavy
inins , in which event exticmo loss nnd suf-
feung mai ensue. Ho anticipates that West
St. Pnul will suffer some in uny event , ns
the banks me likely to give way ns soon ns
they are filled , nnd cause a severe loss to
piopeity owners in that vicinity. During
the night the water came up still fuithcr
towards the houses in West St. Paul that aio
situated between the nvor and Fillmoio
nvenuc. There nro numetous indentations
in the bank that run n good way in towards
the street. These at once filled with water ,
which ran around many of the houses and
isolated them to such an extent that commu
nication could only bo bad by means of
boats
The situation in thnt part of the watd cast
of State stceot Is much worse than anj where
else , because the land lies low cr and there
aio mote numeious sloughs tlaotigh which
water can find easy access to the 111010
thickly settled poitions of the fiat. Tlio
occupants of n good many of the nouses in
that nclghboihood have aheady vacated
them and moio tire picpating to do so , as the
river still lises Already the water stands
so\cnl feet above tlio first floor In manj
houses and is fust encioaehing on otheis.
Wheio icstcuhii there was a good londwaj
is now only an impassable1 hike. At tlio St.
Cioix lumber company's mill , which is situ
ated on Florida sttcet , the watei is nc.iilj up
to the pi itfotnis on which the lumber has
been ptl&"d , and woikmen mo now engaged
in removing it to higher gi ound , as well as
sash and doors from the mill. All that
gi ound east of State stiect and sotithof [ Plato
avenue Is entlicly covered with water nnd
looks like ono vast lake.
The soil of the fiats is of such n samly and
porous nature that the water poicolatos
tin ough it w ith almost as much i cadlncss ns
it flows tlnough n natiual conduit. As .Lie-
suit of this all of these depressions in the
giound that mo lower then the nver are
IHlcd w ith water , and also many of the cel
lars along the blocks of Dakota sticet.
Much fear is felt lest the water w ill soon
soak nnd undcimino the ground to such an
extent that the foundations of the buildings
will sink , and lesult in much damage to the
dlffctcnt blocks. The houses just under the
bluff at the west end of the ward aio sur
rounded by water nnd i cached only by
boats.
At other points up the river the wntcr is
fulling slowly. Fiom bt. Peter comes the
information that a fall of ten inches was ob-
scived dining the last twentj-fourhouis
Lvcri thing is in good shape to do business

At lied Wing the Connon river is higher
than perhaps it was e\er befoie , the bottom
of tlio Cannon valley , which r.njgcs from
three quiu tciB of a milo in width , being
neaily cntiiely inundated. It has literally
been transfoimed into n largo river , with a
cuucnt flowing nbout.twelvo miles an hour.
Although n gicat pait of the land over
which tlS ! Hood _ has extended will
bo cousfderamy damaged , Toftunato/ !
tlicio were no houses for the fuiious sticam
to tear nwsy , and ns n result no fatalities
have been caused. Tlio greatest loss is sus
tained by tlio Minneapolis & St. Louis rail
way , whoso track is submerged for moro
than n mile , the gi cater part of which is
completely torn nway. The telegraph wires
aio also down nlong the line , ami ono bridge
is gone The Chicago , Milwaukee & St.
Paul branch , tunning to Cannon Falls , has
been damaged sufficiently to suspend traffic
for n few da\H ago. Two bridges have been
cMiiicdoff. Otherwise little injury is done
to tlio track. The raging stieam fell

CnicHOO , April 13. [ Special Telegram to

for conviction. "
This Is what everybody In Judge Orinnell's
room said when the result of the all-night
deliberation of the Jury in the celebrated
Urushingham cose wns mndo known nt 10
tills morning. The jury disagreed nnd the
case goes on the quasi-criminal calendar to
be tried ngnln.
John P. Hmshlngham , pastor of the Adn
Street Methodist church , docs not stnnd ac
quitted of the charge that ho Is the father of
Eva Parker's Illegitimate child. On the
other hand , L"vn Parker hns not been nblo to
prove the truth of her charge to the satisfac
tion of the twelve men empanelled to try It.
This is the termination of n veiy sensational
trial , which all during the week hns packed
the court room , nnd the cnso was finally given
to the jury yesterday.
Mr. and Mrs. Hrtishlnglmm c'ltcicd tlio
couit immediately nfter 10 o'clock. Many
friends walked beside nnd surrounded them.
Mrs. Hrushinghnm looked very palo nnd her
mouth twitched nervously. The defendant
himself , liowo\'cr , w'nn cool nnd self-pos
sessed. When the Jury came In ntid tlio ver
dict was announced , n dlspniring gloom set
tled upon the fnco of John P. Hrushinghnm
when nil was over , and Mrs. Urtishlnghnin
pat like ono dazed , There was n heart
broken expression in her eyes nnd nbout her
lips , which were bloodless nnd wide apart.
Ft lends ciowdcd around the pair. The Hev.
Frank Hristol and other clergymen shook
their hands warmly , nnd lady friends brought
PCI fumes nnd ( lowers to the faithful wife.
"It is not n victory , " they whispered. "Most
assuredly not ns It should be , but it might bo
worse. " Then cvoii body tuoso to leave the
court.
Outside the room the crowd of Mr. Hrush-
inglmtn's s > mpathlrcrs became so great that
that gentleman bad to stand In the midst of
It to i etui n the expressions of sjmpathy and
fiiendship that poured in on him.
"What do jou think of the action of the
jur.Mr , Urushlnghniiii" was nskcd.
"I am soriy it was not ncquitt.il , " ho an
swered. "I scarcely know w lint to say upon
their action. My mind , In fact , is not in n
condition to make any pionouuccmcnt re
sin cting it. "
"Doou think that non acquittal was
biought through piojudico against jou or

"I would piefcr to say nothing on the mat

"It is simply awful , " said the defendant's
attorney , ! ] H Swett , when nskcd what he
thought of the tesult.
"To what do you nttributo iti"

Telegram to the llr.n. | Nels Olson Holong ,
the murderer of Lilly Tlcld , tins expiated
his awful crime uK | > n the gallows. Every
known expedient was tried to avert the fate
to which his deed had condemned him , without -
out success , nnd the Inw has been uplfcld
nnd vindicated. The little Jail was crowded
with these who were permitted to gii/c upon
the execution. Outside a largo crowd lin
gered , nnd every ono who left the building
was besieged with curious inquitcrs eager to
learn the smallest details of the legal tragedy
that was being enacted within.
Hulong ascended the scaffold with falter
ing step , but showed little signs of fear , llo
seemed most alarmed while the warrant was
being read. At 1 55 p. m. the drop fell.
The trap worked to perfection. Holong's
neck was instantly broken nnd his muscles
scarcely twitched. Holong made n
statement Monday nfteinoon in which
ho admitted the murder , but
denied that ho outraged the gill. Ho as
sorted thnt Lilly herself sent her little
brother to the neighbors w ith the borrowed
shovel. When asked whether ho did not
send Clark , Miss Field's ' hi other , nwny thnt
ho might bo alone with the girl nnd better
accomplish some put pose ho had in mind ,
Holong protested that ho did not.
"Nels , " chimed the death watch , " , \ou

nnd you cannot afford to tell a lie now. "
Nels said that ho knew It , but that ho was
telling the ti nth.
After Clntk had gone he still stnjcd In the
house and Lilly begun to scold him nbout
sotno sheep which had died on the Do Terre

to blnmo for the sheep djing : that ho had
given them the same cat c ho had to the others.
Ho then said that without anj fuithcr cause
she seirodn butcher knlfo lying on n shelf and
told him to get out nnd came nt him. IIo
protested In the face of death that he did not
make an impure proposition M her , or at
tempt to take any libcrtj with her person.
After these questions had been put to him
dlicct , and every ell'otthnd been made to
induce him to toll the truth about his mo

rHecdicr. . In substance it is as follows :
Hcibcrt 1 \ Hcecher was appointed col
lector of customs for the Sound district
shortly nftcr President Cleveland took his
seat. The smuggling of opium commenced
on n small scale during the shot t term thnt
Hecchcr occupied the ofllco. It Is supposed
that Captain Hcibert V. Hcecher becnmo
conversant with the methods of the smug
glers when ho was commander of the good
steamer Kvangcle , nnd was plj ing on the
sound Just before. being npiwlntcd
collector of customs. HcecVer
found out during his short
stay In the collector's seat that there wns
millions in the smuggling business , nnd ho
was inmlo n special ngent of the tiensury do-
pal tmcnt. This position Hcecher used to
control Collector Quincy A. Hiooks , who wns
mndo collector when the senate i of used to
conllim Hcecher. Hiooks , it is said , has

vcntuio the onicial smugglers had yet made ,
was neccssaiy thnt their plans should not
mlscMiiy. The opium was ship
ped fiom Victoiin to Fort Ynlo.
l-'ook Yuen nnd How Yuen ,
of Victoim , nnd n Chinese linn in New
Minster , furnished the opium. The prieo to
bo paid was sr fiU perpound. Six dollars n
pound was paid down , or n total of $ , M,000.
The lemaining $1,50 , amounting to SO.OJO wns
to bo paid when the opium wns delivered to
the patties in San Francisco to whom It was
consigned. The object of this was to mnka
the Chinese paitncis in the tiansaction and
toinsuien sale The Chinese then would
not make n combination against them. The
opium ni lived at San Fiancisco , but a
thousand pounds of it was sci/ed there nnd
cipher telegrams from the gang to Hcecher
clearly moves his pait In the smuggling.
It is supposed that the ring intend to cm-
bailc in business umiin so as to make up for
the losses on the last shipment. As n prc-
limmarv to this the honest deputies under
Hiooks had to bo put out of the way. In-
