MINNEAPOLIS. •; <«^ ■ DFFICB -M SOUTH FOURTH STHEKT. PIiOOD COPS AGfllfl SECOND RISE MORE DISASTROUS TO DYVEiLLEtRS ON THE FLATS. HOMES ARE ABANDONED, MANY FAMILIES HAVING TO SEEK REFUGE ON HIGHER GROUND. IBCOKD ICE JAM FORMED. 100 Bridge Agnin Seriously Tried— Btlarht Damage Done the New Stone Dam. ■* Matters pertaining to the Mississippi Hver are still in a critical condition. it was believed late yesterday after noon that the force had spent itself, i This, however, proved to be not so. | towards evening a perceptible rise was ' hoted on the Bohemian fiats. The in- I habitants of this district, having for- j Iner years as a criterion, were firm in '' the belief that with Wednesday night the worst was over. The rise last even- ' ]ng, therefore, came unexpected to most ; ©f them. Not only did it rise to the »ame point as the preceding night, but Several inches higher. The water in- Vaded new territory, and made it very j Uncomfortable for many. Several of the houses between Wood and Cooper btreets are surrounded by water and febandoned. their occupants having tought higher ground. Some are with Iriends, while others are camping out , In the old Noerenberg's brewery. At the foot of Washington avenue i the river at 9 o'clock last night be )E&n to circle up towards Cooper street, fcmd a small stream made its way up this several feet. On Lowland avenue, |ust below the Great Northern bridge, |he water worked its way up to Wood ' •treet, just two blocks from what is \ Usually the edge of the river. As this (Was very placid, the rise of the river toould easily be seen by watching It. I<t proved to be the water gauge by Stfhich all interested made their com pilations. Towards it lanterns of every description were seen to make their Hmy. Men, women and children gath ered here beneath the glare of the elec tric light and in their own tongue dis ipussed the situation. The women gos ftlped about the matter, while the men Hooked grave. To all appearances the Bltuatio.i is a grave one from the stand point of an Inhabitant of the Bohe mian fiats. To all appearances there is still a great amount of ice and logs in the river. Owing to the breaking of a boom at Elk river thousands of feet of logs were let loose. Undoubtedly they, to a great extent, are the cause fc>f the sudden rise of water. The ice and logs continue to do con~ ■Iderable damage. At about 7 o'clock Jasrt evening another jam formed at the Soo bridge, Fortieth avenue north, and for a time its strength was Laxed. The telephone service of the Twin Cities was also endangered late last evening. At that time the telephone pole situated near one of the piers below the Washington avenue bridge gave way before a heavy piece of ice. liUckily enough the cross pieces gave Way, or the fifty wire? that cross at this point would have been torn asunder. The pole was carried away. While the wires remained hanging flangerously near to the water. Everything was excitement with the 'dwellers on the East side flats yester day. The water has been getting dangerously near to one of the houses, B,nd the owner is taking every precau tion to protect his property from the ravaging of the element. In the first place he built a darn of stone just be low the door, which manages to stave off the ice. To protect the house In Case the river should rise several feet all at once and threaten to tear his home away, he has taken two heavy fopea One encircles the building just below the eaves, while the other is hear the ground. They have then been tied to a tree about thirty feet up the bank. Last evening the people were Considerably excited over the sudden rise of the water, and their lanterns were moving back and forth as if Somebody was very busy. It was reported yesterday afternoon that Jhe apron of the falls was in great danger »f suffering Injury from the logs and ire. this rumor appears to bo without foundation, there i^ hardly any chance of the city visited by such a dire calamity. The lew dam is. however, being put to a strong le?t. It appears to withstand the force well, *nd aside from the loosening of the coping tVednesday night, apparently no injury has Veen sustained by it. Two of the flood ga^es iave been opened, and it is possible that it Will be found necessary to open the others. Bassctt's creek and Shingle creek do not Irish to be outdone in generosity. There was lo diminishing in the quanti;y of water they parried away. There was no rise with either Iresterday, and any further danger from these sources is not belle red to exist any nore. SEVERE OS BOMDSMEM. Council Strict in the Issuance of Liqnnr License*. The council committee on licenses took another whirl yesterday afternoon at the perplexing question which has arisen as to what requirements shall be exacted regarding the bonds of sa loonkeepers. Two members of the committee insisted that it was not too much to ask the liquor dealers to furnish a $4,000 bond and to secure re liable and responsible bondsmen. The other members, on the other hand, in sisted that it was unreasonable in these times to insist that the bonds men disclose the value of their prop erty and inform the public as to their actual worth. They argued that as there are 275 saloonkeepers in the city It would take over $1,000,000,000 to sup ply them all with bonds, and it was Improbable that they could get bonds men for such a large amount. As a result of the deadlock the com mittee made no progress in the mat ter and adjourned again until Wed nesday, at which time the bondsmen for saloonkeepers who have shown a disposition to qualify— and their number is few — will be interviewed in executive session regarding 1 their in dividual wealth in order that the com mittee may be satisfied that they are responsible persons. OLIVER OPTIC'S WEALTH. Entire Fortune Willed to Mrs. Sol Smith RnNsell. A telegram received from Boston last night Kates that W. T. Adams, better known as ''Oliver Optic," had left a will in which he bequeathed all of his property to Mrs. So-1 Smith Russell, his only surviving child. Mr. Adams had but two daughters who grew- into womanhood, Mrs. Russell and Mrs. George \Y. White, of Boston, the latter dying in 18S4. Mrs. Russell has been with her father since the illness began which ended in his death. After her father's dcatn Mrs. Russell left Dorchester, and is now visiting ■with her husband. Miss Jenkins, sister of the late Mrs. Adams, Is at present in Minneapolis at the residence of Sol Smith Russell. Last night Miss Jen kins said that Mr. Adams was not a wealthy man. although enjoying a large income, Svory year it has been his custom lo g* abroad and travel considerably, and he had not, therefore, laid up much. His estate which becomes the property of Wrs. Russell Is prpbably worth not to exceed $40,000 or $50,000. "■ — •». -^ ' fcuu LET HIS LIFE BLOOD OUT. Saloonkeeper Makes a Probably Successful Attempt at Suicide. Bereft of reason from an attack of de lirium tremens, M. D. Swanson, a saloonkeep er, engaged in business at 244 Twentieth avenue north, sought death at 5 o'clock yes terday morning by cutting his throat with an ordinary pocketknife. The attempt at self destruction will probably prove successful. Swanson was found in an unconscious condi tion by Officer Custer, on the stairway lead ing to his living rooms above the saloon. He had stumbled from the saloon half-way up the stairs, and, seating himself on one of the steps, had deliberately severed most of the veins in his neck. Failing to connect with an artery, he had then opened the veins in his right wrist. This accomplished and his life's blood streaming down the stairs, Swan son waited for death, but the fates were against him; the policeman came instead. He was removed to hi 6 rooms, where he was at tended by Dr. Dennison. Swanson is a mar ried man with children, and has been a heavy drinker. CALLED DAIRYMEN TO MEET.

RIVERA'S FATE ATTENTION CALLED TO THE MAT TER IN THE SENATE BY MR. ALLEN. FOUR CUBAN RESOLUTIONS. MOST IMPORTANT RECOGNIZES THE EXISTENCE OF A STATE OF WAR. ACTION ON IT TO BE PRESSED. Notice of Intention toi Call It Up for a. Final Vote Given by Mr. Morgan, WASHINGTON, April I.— The Cuban question was revived in the senate to day," after a long period of comparative calm. Four distinct Cuban resolutions were brought forward in rapid succes sion. The last and most important one came from Senator Morgan*', of" Ala-^ bama. It declares that a state of war exists in Cuba and announces that the policy of the United States Is to ac cord both parties to the conflict full recognition as belligerents. Mr. Mor gan gave notice that he would call up the resolution at the next meeting of the senate with the expectation of se curing final action. Of the other reso lutions two were agreed to. One of these, by Mr. Morgan, calls on the president for the letters of Gen. Gomez to himself and Mr. Clevland and for other information on Cuban affairs. The other, by Mr. Mills, of Texas, in structs the committee en foreign re lations to report what obli§rations the United States has assumed by compell ing Cuba to remain subject to Spain. Both resolutions were passed without opposition. Still another resolution came from Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, and proposed a protest against the re ported purpose of the Spanish author ities to try Gen. Ruiz Rivera, the Cu ban officer, by drumhead court martial. This led to an animated con troversy between Mr. Allen and Mr. Hoar. The latter criticised "inflamma tory resolutions" and declared that the freedom of Cuba had been retarded mainly by the "prodding" and "goad ing" resolutions directed against Spain. The resolution went over to come up with the resolution for the recognition of Cuban belligerency at the next meet ing. The resolution offered by Mr. Allen recited that Gen. Rivera, of the Cuban forces, had been captured by the Span ish and was about to be tried by drum j head court martial and Bhot, and pro i tested against such trial as contrary to I the rules of civilized war. Mr. Allen | asked for Immediate consideration of j the resolution. Mr. Hoar said it did not comport with the dignity of this body to rush forward on these subjects. The ques tion of life and death in Cuba was not in the keeping of the senate. There \ should be decorous and orderly proced- J ure on international questions and he would object to the resolution unless it ! was allowed to go to the committee. Although debate was not in order, Mr. Allen continued to urge the critical character of the Rivera case. He said he did not want this resolution stricken by being committed to the "caverns of the foreign relations committee." Mr. Hoar made a spirited reply. He had not intended to offer advice to the Nebraska senator. If he had advice to give he would not "throw it away." Then, turning to the general Cuban question, Mr. Hoar said it would b^ a clear affront to any nation with which we were at peace to recite in a resolu tion by the American congress that, whereas, such nation was about to [ commit an atrocity, congress protested. ; Such a resolution by one of the Euro | ptan nations toward the United States i would set our people aflame. He be : lic-ved that President Grant would have ! brought about the freedom of Cuba if his plan had not been overcome by in temperate demonstrations. Mr. Hoar closed with a decisive objection to the present consideration of the resolution and it went over. The other Cuban resolutions followed in rapid succession. Appropriation Hills. WASHINGTON, April I.— The senate com mittee on appropriations today agreed to re port the sundry civil and Indian appropriation bills as practically agreed to before the ad journment of the last session of congress.

WASHINGTON, April I.— The congressional contingent at the White house today was un -1 usually large. Representative Dolliver, of ! lowa, and Representative C. W. Stone, of | Pennsylvania, had called to press ex-State ! Senator Erickson. of lowa, for this mission, J but they came away convinced that the pres ident had made up his mind to appoint Dr. Thomas, who was minister to the Swedish court under the administration of President Harrison. Senator Kyle, of South Dakota, introduced Carl A. Snyder, who wants to be associate justice of the supreme court of New Mexico. The most important caller in the afternoon was Judge Nathan Goff, of West i Virginia. There is an impression about the , White house that in the event of the retire- I ment of Associate Justice Field, of the su preme bench, and the appointment of Attor ney General McKenna to the beach, that Judge Goff may be induced to accept the position of attorney general. There is also of course, speculation as to the possibility that Judge Goff himself may succeed Associ ate Justice Field. TOWER CONFIRMED. The Senate Satisfied With the New Austrian Minister.

WH BATON'S PROMOTION Indicated In a Telegram Sent to Him From \\ usli In- i,iii. DENVER, Col., April I.— Brig. Gen. Frank Whoaton today received a telegram from the war department asking him if he would pre fer to move to Chicago and take command of the military department of the Missouri, or remain in Denver during the remainder of his term of s-crvice. This telegram is taken to be a positive indication that Gen. Wheaton will be made a major general to succeed Gen. Ruger, who reaches the age of sixty four tomorrow. Gen. Wfceaton replied that he would prefer to remain with the depart ment of the Colorado. The department of the Missouri is a major general's command and if Gen. Wheaton had longer to serve he would accept the post, but as he goes upon the retired list early in May he believe jttiat it would be more a£ceptaJ}le to the hm.Cr itics to order to Chicago 'the brigadier gen eral, who will be promoted to the next va cancy in the higher grade.

In the Event of Open Hostilities the Hands of the Powers Would Be Tied. LONDON, April I.— The Times wi'l print a dispatch from its Vienna cor respondent, who says: "A council of the admirals was held today (Thurs day) to determine whether and when the g-ulf of Athens is to be blockaded. All the powers have now consented to that proposition, thoug-h nothing has been decided with respect to the blockade of other Greek ijirts. "It i 3 no secret that King George has formally stated to the powers thai a declaration of war against Turkey will immediately follow an extension of the blockade tt> Greek coast. This fact cannot be fef*t out o? consid eration. It is believed in some quar ters that, if the gulf of Athens is blockaded, popular excitement wiil compel the king to declare war, even if his own judgment and that or the cabinet were opposed. This has been a leading cause of the delay in secur ing a unanimous agreement between the powers. There is no doubt that in the event of a Turco-Greek war the intervention of the powers would be suspended." J% c Times> Athens correspondent says- Whether, in the event of war, the powers will abstain from a blockade and leave the Greek flee: unfettered is debated here with great Interest. It is pointed out that should war ensue the powers could not, as neutrals v i t r the °P erati °ns of the Greek navy' which might bombard Smyrna and Salonika and capture the Island of Aegean. In case the Turks should be victorious on land which is not expected at Athens. Greece would be more than compensated by victories on the sea It is assumed, of course, that Europe would never permit the Turkish army to ad vance to Athens. Thus, whatever happens, Greece stands to win. at any rate not to lose. Thesf calculations would be com pletely overthrown should the powers compel the Greek fleet to remain inactive. But this course, it is contended here, would be tanta mount to an offensive alliance with Turkey against Grieve. LONDON*. April l.—lt is semi-offlcially an nounced that the admirals of the foreign fleets in Cretan waters have asked their • spective governments to dispatch fifty cavalrytnen and a battery of artillery each for service In Crete. Owing to the decision to extend the blockade. It is necessary to reinforce tVe In ternational fleet and some days must elapse before the requisite number of war ships will be available for the coercion of Greece Only the Piraeus, the port of Athens, will be blockaded at first, further measures depend ine upon the course Greece pursued.

The visit of Lafayette to America as the *l atl ° n s guest, is graphically recalled in the April Ladies' Home Journal, by Jean Fra- Rn*"? 1 ?*?!!'.!^ 0 V lx ** of "When Lafayette Rnde Into Philadelphia." The welcome given Lafayette in Philadelphia is said to have exceeded in its warmth and enthusiasm that extended to the distinguished visitor in any SknVV^i In connection with his riding into Philadelphia, the central figure of a re splendent pageant, an Interesting incident is thus recalled: Lafayette's barouche was pass ing on Eleventh street, the house where dwelt the widow of Robert Morris, financier of th« revolution, a sister of the revered Bishon Vvh;te. Mrs. Morris was at her window and recognizing her after many years, Lafayette rose up in his carriage and bowed to her " The rare courtesy was instantly discerned by the thousands congregated at this point and it seemed as If the people would go mad with enthusiasm. The recognition of Mrs. Morris seemed to set them aflame. Even Lafayette appeared surprised that the simple act should evoke such a wave of frantic huzzas. Shout after shout rent the air; women vied with men in their efforts to show to Lafayette that his graceful act touched them. So great was the furore that the hero had to rise again and again in his carriage, and it was sev eral minutes before the wonderful enthusiasm had abated. But if the applause subsided at the special point where it had been wafted into flame, it was rekindled again and again, and carried along the entire route of the march. By a simple act he had arous-?d the people, and the fruits of it remained with him all through his visit in the Quaker city. — -alto. Tramping; a la Mode.

NOT MUCH OF IT IS LEFT. AN ENTIRE ARTICLE KNOCKED OUT AS A FINAL. DAY'S WORK. NO TIME FOB. A DECISIVE VOTE. Last Amendment Disposed of Ac cording to the Agreement Decid ed Upon by the Senate. WASHINGTON, April t— The senate today, in executive session, concluded its consideration of all amendments to the arbitration treaty. The voting on additional amendments began at 4 o'cock, after three hours of general de baite, and in the hour and a half which followed, about a dozen propositions were passed upon. Two only were adopted, except some making verbal changes. One of those adopted, offered by Senator Bacon, exempts the claims against the Southern states from the operations of the treaty, and the other, by Mr. Morgan, eliminates article 8 of the treaty. Much of the debate turned upon these amendments. Their supporters con tended that under the constitution, state claims could net be made the sub ject of negotiation under the treaty. The point was also made that the claims against the Southern states were contracted during the period of recon struction and were not legitimate ob ligations. It was held, on the other hand, that under the amendments al ready adopted it would be impossible to hold the Southern claims subject to the treaty. Senators Gray and Lind say presented the latter view. Many of the amendments voted down were directed to putting limitation on the first article. Propositions of this char acter were made by Senators Butler, Chilton and Bacon, and all were re jected by a uniform majority of five. This was the result of a preconcerted move to sustain the committee on for eign relations, which took a position against further amending this article. Senator Butler's amendment is a fair specimen of others offered. He moved to add the words "treaty or conven tion" to the article, making it provide for the submission to arbitration of all questions in difference incapable of settlement by diplomatic negotiation, treaty or convention. Mr. Butler ex plained his purpose to be to avoid a construction of the language of the treaty as it now stands, which would permit the settlement of all interna- I tional disputes by diplomatic negotia tion, and saying that a willful chief ex ecutive might refuse to bring any in- I ternational controversy to the atten- I tion of the senate for its co-operation \ unless the clause should be modified I in some such manner as his amend- J ment provided. When the point was made that this was a strained construe- j tion, the North Carolina senator called i attention to the claim set up for Mr. Cleveland in the matter of Cuban in dependence that the power of recogni tion rested exclusively with the execu tive. He warned the senate against ' leaving any openings for the extension | of executive power. An interesting incident of the ses sion was Senator Chandler's refusal to agree to a final vote on the treaty to day. He called attention to the dis patches in regard to the situation in j Crete, and said that he did not feel j disposed to enter into negotiations with j any power whose guns were trained ' upon a community of Christians strug gling to throw off the yoke of Turkey. He also spoke of England's conduct j towards the Boers of the Transvaal as j deserving of condemnation and a cause \ for hesitation in the present negotia- i tions. He said he would probably in i the end vote for the treaty, but that j he was not in the mood for it today, j No day was fixed for a final vote. WENT TO AFRICA TO WED, But Pretty ]Uiss Price's IS.OOO mile Journey Was in Vain. NEW YORK, March 29.— Miss Edith Price, rosy, pretty and smiling, her mother, and her her marired sister, Mrs. Ely, held a reception | today in their house in Yonkers to celebrate I the death of a romance, and ail their friends ' were dropping in to offer congratulations. "No," said Miss Price, with the s-hadow at a blush. "I'm not married, and I'm glad of it. South Africa is a pretty lonesome place, and I'm delighted to be back In Yonk ers among my friends. I have been sixty days on the water and twenty more ob the land: I've traveled 18,000 miles, and now I'm home for good." The Price family is one of the best known in Yonkers. In 1892 M'.ss Price spent the summer abroad. On the steamer returning home after a vacation in America was John Corrigan, an Oxford student, and son of an official of the Bank of Ireland. They mpt and when the ship cast anchor at South ampton were plighted lovers. "We'll get married." sa:d the young man, "just as soon as I get my degree as a physician," and the girl gladly assented, though it meant a two-years' wait for her. When the Prices learned that the young man was the son of one of the best families In j Dublin they gave their conpont, and the j course of true love started to run smooth. The Corrigans entertained Mrs. Price and their son's fiancee at their splendid home at South Circular road, DubMn. LETTERS OVER THE SEA. Summer over. Miss Price returned home. Letters passed over the sea in every ship, and both young people were looking forward ) to the day when graduation v.-ould bring j them happiness. Then no letters came from the lover. M!ss Price wrote and wrote, I but still no reply. Her pride got the' batter j of her love; she wrote no more, but plunged | deeply into social gayety to forget the dead romance. Still another young man. who lives in this city, became smitten and he was accepted. I Last September was set for the wedding. Just before that Miss Price heard of .John Corrigan's graduation from Oxford and of his large practice as a physician in Ronde- i bosh. South Africa. The old flame sprang into life again. Explanations followed, each i had thought the other tired of love's fetters, j and accidents in the mails had done the rest. We.l, they became engaged again. "I can't come to America 10 be married," | wrote the young doctor. "My practice won't j allow it. Meet me at Southampton with your ; mother, and we will be married there, and tben you can come back with me to Ronde- : bosh." TO AFRICA FOR HER LOVE. Jan. 6 Miss Price and her mother sailed on the St. Louis. At her dock they found a cable dispatch from Corrigan, saying he could not leave South Africa, and asking mother | and daughter to meet him at Cape Town. Again the two took ship. What happened when they arrived at Cape Town is part of the story not yet told. Saturday Mrs. Price returned to New York with her daughter, still Miss Price. They were full of the drear iness of South Africa and home-coming. But ; Yonkers heard and wondered. Today it called to learn why. "It's nothing," said Mlse Price to every I ene. "Dr. Corrigran was not well enough to 1 marry; that's all." And something over a score of Yonkers' eligible young men rejoiced when they heard the engagement was broken off again. --«*- St. LonlH Kindergartens.

Before I had taken a bottle I was again a well man, and feel that it saved me from a fit of sickness. "We have used these remedies in onr house ever since, and I cannot commend them too highly. My wifa was in very poor health after suffering from the grip. Sagwa dispelled the disagreeable effects of this dan gerous disease. She is now enjoying her usual good health." If others would not wait until too late, but take Kickapoo Indian Remedies, at the first premonition of disease, not only would continued good health be theirt but they could enjoy the long life which has made the Indian famous. Kickapoo Indian Sagwa can be bought at all drugstists for $1 a bottle, as can all the other remedies, at prices equally reasonable.

The romances of the London work house would form a thrilling ami pa thetic record, and, for sad vicissitude and ill luck, few cases could surpass that of an Inmate of one of our poor houses who has very recently passed away. A lady visiting: the institution was struck by the evident refinement of an elderly woman in the infirmary, who was a Norwegian by birth, but who spoke English and other lan guages fluently, says the St. James Gazette. She had all the attractions of a very lovely woman, which years of poverty and ill health could not ue stroy. She was very reticent as re garded her past, but was so evidently a gentlewoman that the sympathetic visitor exerted herself to obtain ad mission for the invalid into a home for the dying, in which she might pass her last days in peace and amid con genial surroundings. Before her death the stranger told her story, and a strange and romantic one it proved to be. At seventeen she was informed by her parents that she was to be mar ried, and, although she had no voice in the matter, nothing could have been more satisfactory. Her husband was handsome, cultured and devoted. They lived in a charming country house, surrounded by every luxury, and four children were born to the couple. The only drawback to the perfect happiness of the young wife were the long and frequent absences of her husband, which he attributed to business, but would explain no further. At last there came a day when the man returned no more from his accustomed journey, but sent his lawyer instead, from whom the bewildered and heart-broken wom an learned that her supposed husband was the king of , and that, owing to ' the pressing reasons, the liaison should terminate. An adequate sum was settled on her and tbe children, and, wishing to break entirely with the past, she came to live in London. After some years she married an English man, and shortly after the king died, leaving a lump sum to her. This mon ey the husband got from her to in vest, and ran off with the entire amount, leaving his unfortunate wire penniless. She had never been trained to any sort of work, and things went from bad to worse, until, utterly desti tute and dying, she became an Inmate of the workhouse. She was a pretty ballet girl — If rumor told no He; They put the winge upon her back Because she was so "fly." — Pick-Me-Up.
