A report just made by subordinates to
Capt. Knight, in charge of Hub division of
the river improvements, shows that thus far
no loss whatever has been sustained by rea
son either of high water or the recent
storms. As previously slated, it is when
ill river declines and gets down to a medi
um stago that the test of endurance of this
work comes.
When the steamer Carrie Caldwell
came down she did not leave any rations
at Paducah, and when sho went back she
had none left; so tho government officers
bought ten thousand rations from mer
chants at Paducah, and turned them over
to the local relief committee there. So far
Paducah bus received forty tuousnnd
rations.

Capt. Jno. G D. Knight has given the

to constitute one hundred government
rations: Seventy-five pounds of bacon,
twelve and one-half pounds of flour, ten
pounds of coffee, fifteen pounds of sugar,
fifteen pounds of boans, four pounds of salt,
four onces of pepper, four quarts of vinegar,

Within the thirty-six hours ending
yesterday morning the people of Cairo and
viciuity took a jump, as it were, from mid
summer into mid-winter. Tuesday morn
ing, bright sunshine, birds warbling on the
house tops, tempeaturo of Florida Para
dise; yesterday morning, gloom, air filled
with "tho beautiful," forty mile blizzard
from the north Siberia. From dusters to
overcoats; from perspiration to chilblains
such are the transient beuutics and comforts
of this diabolical season.
Now that the place for holding the
political conventions has been decided
upon, and the time designated, we may
look for more activity in political circles.
The state conventions will come next, aud
ths various county committees will call
conventions to appoint delegates to the
same. This will be the first preliminary
work. After the nominations are made a
closo organization will be effected by the
formation of clubs in the different wards
and townships. Then the hot work of the
campaign will commence, and it is going
to be a hot campaign from the word "go."
Old politicians think it will be as vigorous
as the campaign of 1840. Both parties are
preparing for a hard pull.
The practice of placing buudles of
newspapers intended for the mail
on top of the mail boxes at the street corners
is rapidly growing in this city. It is done
also larger cities, where frequent
ly piles f newspapers ore several
teet high on top of the
boxes and are never disturbed by those who
have no business to do so. There is noth
ing objectionable in the practice, but it has
given a critical observer occasion to remark
that when a woman wraps up a newspaper
for mailing, it looks precisely like a well
stuffed pillow with a narrow bandage of
lint wrapped around the centre. It is at
nee a something that is fearfully and won
derfully made; but nine to one, no woman
would be able to tell how eke made it.
For some reison a good one, no
doubt, but which was unknown to any one
at the time and has to this day escaped the
notice even of the lynx-eyed ward bummer
who is always on the alert, especially about
election time, to pander to the ration-al
"nun and & brother," for some such ob
scure reuon, the steamer Carrie Caldwell,
when here some days age, left five thousand
rations at the store of Mr. U ibert Miller on

FLOOD .HISTORY.
The above picture represents the Padu
cah News man, while madly rushing
through on of the principal streets of the
flood-ridden city, on the morning of Wed
nesday, February 27th just pitssed, yelling
for a boat. He was in one of his periodi
cal fits of delirium, had been confino 1 the
night before for safety in the "Blue Eagle''
without telephone connections, but had es
caped, attire 1 only in bis hair and nether
garments.
The picture was taken from life by Mr.
L. A. Phelps, the leading photographer of
Paducah who has ktpt his gallery above
water and hard at work throughout the
season of dire calamity, lie kindly fur
nished The Bulletin with a negative
which was sent to St. Lou's where the above
cut was manuf Cured fur ue, Mr. Phelps
ha3 several hundred views of tho city vhen
the water wus at its height, also mauy pic
tures representing actual occurrences of a
startling nature, which would make an in
teresting gallery and probably give a more
striking hi-tory of the flood in Paducah
and its many attend nt horror than could
be produced by pen and mind from obser
vation aud hear say. If the enterprise of
The Bulletin in producing the abuvc cut
hall meet with proper encouragement
from the public:, others will follow.
AX OI'CS CONFESSION.
From the Paducah News of Saturday,
we clip the following joyous blast over the
discovery that the water there had come to
a stand, which is introduced by flaming
headlines ending in exclamation points:
"at a stand."
"At nn eurly hour this morning' a ven
turesome citizen paddled out to the spot
where the government gauge stood before
it was inundated, and examined the marks
en the south wall of the boat store. The
result of his observations must have been
eminently satisfactory, for he turned imd
sent a yell across the rolling waters
which sounded like a blast from a fog-horn
and could have been heard a mile any
clear day. 'She's at a stand boys 1 Hasn't
raised a hair since last night!'
"Later in the morning our water bound
citizens crawled from their beds began
examing the private water mirks on their
premises; and, shortly, thousands oftongues
in hundreds of homes were wagging with
the joyful news that the beginning of the
end was at hand. The fact is something
to be glad over. It w something worth cel
ebrating. It is a local Fourth of July and
Christmas combined. II the ISews had its
way, it would commemorate the event with
the ringing of br!!, the blure of trumpet
and the thunder ot cannon. It would or
ganize a procession of boats to parade the
city and fill the lambent air with many fire
works.
"It would 'nuke Home howl.'"
That such a burst of pl-Hsure was not
uncalled for may be readily concluded from
the following floo 1 "'wavelets" with which
ne local columns o: toe s-nie
issue
were tiled, tin 1 w
hich will
satisfy our own people
that a
fr their
the sympathy t!iy have felt
neighbors waj not bjstow.-d where lt was
not needed :
"The pe p!n will fi-el like going to church
to-morrow. 1 oey will have c .use fur re
joicing, thuHjh all hac sutured more or
less."
"Some party received a couple of cases
of rubber boots this morning hnd opened
uiem up in irorn oi ine custom house. They
went otf like hot cakes at $4 per pair."
"In consequence of the hi -h water there
are a number of subscribers whom it it im
possible for our carriers to reach. If bucIi
will oil at the News otlkc when thev aru
on shore, tln-y can secure their paptis."
"Duckings in the wtcr to-day were al
most as numerous as flies in the hummer
Almost every nair an nonr the jvl'.in" went
up from the amused spectators an i the crv
pifl i aiOTig ine nnr iirus m; reckless
oarxman or paMier had t,e iuto the
water. '

rant issni'd in Murray's handwriting,
making charges and costs for the mi in of
fs". lor service and mileage mid other
fees for the arrt'st of a man w ho really
walked into Murray's otllce and gave him
self up. The oftendcr, the storv goes,
lived some hundred miles from Louis
ville. The l'ostnnter at his place of
residence fancied he had violated t lie laws
relative to the use of mails for lottery
puriof..'s, and so charged. The man said
to the rostumstcr that he was ready to
meet the charges, so they together went
to LouUville, entered Murray's olllee,
w here the charges were made and the de
fence entered. Murray, however, it is
said, told the Postmaster that he was en
titled to his full fees and mileage and
otln r expenses of bringing the prisoner,
and made out a warrant with all the
charges, amounting to eighty-six dollars.
This was dually disputed when the facts
came out, and .Murray reduced it twenty
tox dollars. This document, however, in
Muriy's own handwriting, Mr. Springer
says he considers the most Important of
all the papers sent him, and this one
now mining. It was, he said, among
tne papers when first sent him, but
not among them when sent the second
time from the Department. Inquiries made
by Springer of the ollieials at the Depart
ment of Justice show that Governor Mur
ray attorney, .Mr. Wilson, of Louisville,
was probably the only person permitted
to handle these papers since they were In
the hands of the committee the llrst time.
Mr. Springer says he desires to be ex
plicitly understood, however, as making
no charges, as it is possible the document
may lie overlooked and was left at the
Department when the others were sent to
the committee the last time. lie, how
ever, proposes to thoroughly investigate
the matter, and will make It warm for
somebody if it appears that the document
is reallv missing and nobody but Wil
son had access to the document iu the
meantime.

C'.rtigre.-smau I!roadhead made an argu
ment at the meeting of the Judiciary
Committee this morning, 111 favor of en
larging the lleld of the Geneva award so
as to include losses by vessel owners on
all navigable waters in the United States,
'I hi- original act was only to cover the
acts of exculpated cruisers on the high

vera! millions remaining, there is now a
proposition to extend that to the payment
of losses, not only by exculpated cruisers,
but also to acts committed wi-thiu four

The Committee 011 Public Lands to-day

Senate.
Washington, 1). C, Feb. 27. Sen
ator Van Wyck offered a resolution
directing the l'ost-olllce Committee to In
quire, whether at any time the Western
Union or Baltimore Sc. Ohio Telegraph
Companies or ollicers of the companies
had entered into a contractor negotiation
for the purpose of consolidation or com
bination of the companies. Referring to
the testimony of Dr. fJreen, he said this
information is needed to help a general
Inquiry. There was no doubt the West
ern Union would gobble all com
peting lines as it had done In the past,
notwithstanding the promises of the
companies to act iu the interest of the
people.
Senator Plumb could see no practical
use of such an Investigation. So far as
he was concerned he didn't expect to be
guided in his vote by such information.
Senator Piatt moved to refer the reso
lution to the committee. He said: "I
desire the (iovernment to assume, In
some way, the telegraph, as a means of
transmitting intelligence through the
country. 1 have no quarrel with either
company. Congress has nothing to do
with any quarrel between the companies.
If they tlesire to consolidate no power of
Congress can stay them. It is necessary
we should have information as to wheth
er the people are paying too much for tho
transmission of information by the tele
graph." Senator Ingalls said the committee
had already gone Into the subject.
Senator liayard remarked that Congress
was taking an extraordinary position if It
assumed to exercise compulsory power
to disclose the affairs of private cor
porations. The resolution was finally re
ferred to the committee.
Senator Sherman presented the re
ports of the sub-committee on tho Dan
ville riots to the effect that the House did
not pass the bill appropriating money for
the investigation, and that the Secretary
of the Senate refused to honor the vouch
ers on the ground that there was no fund
out of which to pay them. For this
reason the sub-coniinlttee would b
obliged to suspend operations until an
appropriation was made. The report was
placed on file.'
