WILMIKQTON, N. C. Wednesday. Morkinq, March 31 COMMITTEE VACANCIES. Certain Populist to Vote With Bepobli oana on taa Qaeation ol Beorgentst tlon Jonea, (Stewarc ud K)c 10 .- Have Oood Cbsumaosblps. Bt Telegraph to the Moraine Sut. Washington, March 80. The Re publicans rff the Senate this morning pat into motion the machinery looking to the reorganization of the Senate so far as the committee vacancies are concern ed. The caucus was called for 10 o'clock and was promptly aitecded by almost every one of the straight Republicans of tbe body. Adjournment was taken un til 11.80. j Senator Allison, chairman of the cau cus committee, made aa elaborate report in which he told ot the troubles that had confronted and which still stood in tbe way of the committee. Many confer ences had been had with the Democratic steering committee and at no time were tbe members of that committee, and particularly Mr. Gorman, its chairman, willing -to admit that there was any cbange in the condition in the Republi can party since the Senate committees had been reorganized by the Republi cans. The Democrats insisted, said Mr. Allison, that they should have the same number of men oa the committees as tbev bad. un der the previous arrangements, and de clined to permit tbe Republicans to take an additional number sufficient to out vote the silver Republicans who had bolted the S:. Louis Convention and who were now members of tbe commit tees, if they continued with the Demo crats. ' ' The result tjf the discussion, which was of decidedly Vdried and somewhat nebulous character, was a resolution in structing Chairman Allison to appoint a committee on committees, j which Wilt assign, tbe Republicans to ithe various committees on tbe basis insisted upon by tbe Republicans. Tbis will at least put the machinery in motion and force the fighting to a finish. j It is understood tbat a Combination bad been made with certain Populists woereby they are to vote with the Re publicans on the question of reorganiza tion. The Popuiists who are to be given good chairmanships are said to be Senators ones, of Nevada. Stewart and Kyle. It is understood also that Senator Hoar, of Massacbusetts. op poses such a combination and will ; not agree to any recognition of the Popu- lists. .1 1 GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

SPOTS AND FUTURES. ; j The IT w York Sun's Bsvlew of the Cotton Htrket. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, March 80. The Sun says: Spot cotton here' was unchanged, with sales 61307 bales for spinning; 100 were delivered on contract. Tbe speculation in cotton to day was dull and devoid of interesting developments. Wnat little trading tbere was was in the main of a local scalping nature. Early in tbe day prices advanced slightly. The Liver pool news was better tban had been ex pjcted. and tbe fears of further serious oveiflows of the Mississippi and the consequent delay to crop preparations checks any desire to sell on a lare a:ale. Liverpool bought here, the re ceipts were light and tbe spot markets wers firm. Bsfore tne close part of the improvement was lost in the absence of support, but the last prices showed a light Bet advance for the day. RREBUGS IN PORTSMOUTH.

The police last tught discovered the attempted in cendiarism in time to prevent a repeti tion of the calamity of Sunday.

Wool Growers Want the Most Ample Pro tection Membara of the XXobm Believe th Tsdiooaneea of Froir Debate by Vehemently Applauding ' Speakers. Br Telegraph to the Morning Star. SENATE. Washington. March 80. The open session of the Senate to day lasted until pi m. and then the Senate resumed be hind closed doors the consideration of the arbitration treaty, spending two and a half hours in the discussion. . The Populist Senator from Nebraska, Mr. Allen, occupied more than an hour in an elaborate argument to prove that Congress is "not possessed of the consti tutional power to impose tariff duties on articles ot dally consumption for the ex press ami avowed purpose of increasing the private fortunes of one class of citi zens at the ezpeuse of tbe masses." He characterized as preposterous the claim tbat a high tariff raised tbe price of farm products and was of vast benefit to tbe farmers. The resolution embodying the doc trine which be had offered yesterday was, at the close ol his speech, referred to tbe Committee on Finance; Another menace to the tariff measure now pend ing in the House was sustained in a 'resolution of tbe Board of bheep Com missioners of Montana (presented by senator Mantle of that State), to the .effect tbat unless the wool growers of the United States received tbe most ample protection the policy ot protec tion could be no longer mainteined. Mr. Morgan offered a resolution re questing the President to inform the Senate whether letters have been re ceived bv tbe present and former Chief Executives of the United States from Maximo Gomez., the commanding gen eral ot the insuirectionary forces in Cuba as published this morning; also to furnish other inlormation in relation to Cuban affairs. The letters having oeen read in full. the resolution and letters were ordered to be printed and laid on the table. j i ne nouse amcnamenig to me jaini resolution passed yesterday by tbe sen ate, appropriating $250,000 to aid in protecting life and property in the Mis sissippi flooded district, were concurred in by the Senate, and the joint resolu tion was sent to the President. Senator Foraker introduced in the Senate a modified form of the Patter son pooling bill, which permits rail roads under certain, restriction to pool in the matter ot transportation ot freights. . ' At 4.80 the Senate adjourned until to morrow, i . I HOUSE-OF REPRESENTATIVES. The weariness of the flesh was . mani fested to day in tbe proceedings of tbe House in the Committee of tbe Whole, upon the consideration of the Tariff bill, when members sought to relieve themselves from the tediousness of prosy debate .by vehemently applaud ing the speakers. Mr. Wheeler's re quest for an evening session was ob jected to vigorously. Republican op position to tbe bill was again -shown by a discussion of the question of putting a duty on hides. .Mr. Cannon of Illinois, Republican, said he would like to see one imposed, but would vote for tbe bill as the Committee on Ways and Means approved it. Mr. Hepburn of Iowa, Republican, was more outspoken.' He said the value of the hides produced in the United -States far exceeded that of wool, which dwindled into insignifi cance beside it He, appealed to the Committee on Ways and Means to test the sense of the House on the proposi tion, but Mr. Dingier refused to pursue that course, stating, instead, the reasons why the committee did not recommend a duty. The day was nearly occupied in dis posing of amendments offered by the Committee on Ways and Means, most ot which went to perfecting the phrase ology, pr making classification clearer. An amendment putting books, maps and charts imported for tbe use of schools, colleges and public libraries, on the free list, was agreed to, also one restoring the McKlnley rates on horses and mules. At 4 o'clock the reading of the bill where tbe committee left eff Saturday last was resumed, and in tbe last hour of the day four, additional pages were passed over, twenty in all. Mr. Hopkins of Illinois, Republican, a member of the Committee on Ways and Means, assured Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, tbat if his associates would not .unnecessarily delay consideration of the bill, the sugar schedules would be reacbed in time to be acted upon. After the committee rose an unavail ing Sort was made to reach an aoree meet to extend the limit for debate from 8 to 4 o clock to-morrow afternoon, tbe last two hours to be nnder the rules for general debate. At o.io a motion to .adjourn was agreed to, and the effort to reach tbe agreement will probably be renewed to morrow at 10 o'clock. INCENDIARY FIRES ' Keep Altoona Polloa aad Firemen Baay. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Altoona, aPa March 30. Five at tempts at incendiarism, four of them successful, kept the Altoona firemen and police busy last nieht. The first blaze was in a stable, next door to No. 1 fire engine house. Prompt work avoided a loss. Within a few minutes the storage sheds of Armour & Co., Nelson. Morriss & Co., meat merchants, were in flames. The most seriods fire was at 1.80 o'clock, in the planing mill of William Stoke. Tbe place was gutted, and a large quan tity of lumber, was consumed. Stoke's loss is $35,000; insurance, tlO.OOO. The total loss by fire is about $40,000. Next morning employes of tbe Altoona Gas Company discovered men setting fire to ashed near the tanks. The fire bugs escaped. The police have arrested four suspicious characters. FATAL RESULT OF A FIRE. , Three Persona Slowly Buffoested to Death. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York. March 30. Three per sons were killed in a fire in an apart ment house at No. 61 West One Hun dred and Fifth street this afternoon. Tbev were Miss Ellen Morrissey and a three-year-old boy and his mother, who up to a late hoar to-night had not been identified. Escape was cut off by the flames and in the top apartments on the fifth floor they were slowly suffocated to death. The fire started in the base ment of tbe house and burned so quirjkly that some of the: occupants bad to be rescued on ladders. The -house was damaged to the extent of about tlSjOOO and the tenants lost about $4,000 worth of property. ' At Cincinnati whiskey distillers fin ished goods were advanced Monday from a basis of tl 17 per gallon to $1.18. This was done without any formal general agreement among producers.

People Homeless Iioas ol Life Great Concern Felt foe Greenville, Hill. , By Telegraph to tbe Morning Star. Greenville, Miss., March 80. The levee broke at Mound Lmding. Miss., fifteen' miles north of this place, at 8 o'clock this morning. Greenville and all the towns west of Deer Creek will be flooded. At Sneed's Landing, near Pert shire, this morning the break is 1,500 feet wide. The entire lower half of Delta will be under water within three days. All able-bodied men have been called out to throw up the levees around the citv. St. Louis, March 80 A special to the Scnpps-McRae Presi Association from Baton, Rouge, La., says tbat tbe break in the levee ten miles below Greenville, Miss., is the worst so tar to occur. Thousands ot feet of the levees, weakened under tbe softening by high waters, are melting away like sand. Tbe break last night was 2,000 feet wide and the water is rushing into Mississippi with frightful velocity. The inhabitants are fleeing for their lives, leaving all be hind. Cattle, horses and live s;ock are drowning by the thousands and Louses aad barns are being washed away like drift wood. It is estimated that fully two thousand people are already home less and at the mercy of charity. The waters have already reacbed fifteen miles inland and tbe destruction of hun dreds, of more farm houses is inevitable. Harvey K emmer and two sons, who attempted to save some siock. nad their boat overturned and were drowned. It is also reported that Mrs. John Marshall and a son, who were atone in a little but two miles from the break, were unable to escape and were drowned. Tb historic and famous plantations ot Jeffsrson Davis and his brother Jo seph Davis, six miles below Vicksburg, are doomed to become a sea of water and destruction. Sixty-two miles below Vickburg is the historic plantation of Gen; Zacariah Taylor. With the threatened rise of three feet it will be a total ruin. The household goods are oeing removed and tbe stock driven to places of safety. The little church' upon the plantation in which Jeff. Davis was married to Gen. Taylor's daughter is threatened with de struction. The water has surrounded it to tbe depth of two feet, Cairo, III, March 80. The Ohio river fell two-tenths of an inch during tbe last twenty-four hours. ' and tbe gauge now reads 51.8 feet. Tbe reports received from Upper Ohio, Tennessee and Cumberland river points show tbe river is falliog, and it is believed the worst is over. St. Louis, March 30. The river rose about six inches in tbe past twenty-four hours at this citv. Unless the heavy rain continues for several days, it is not ex pected that the river will go above the danger line. Word received tbis after noon from Alton, Hannibal and Keeo kouk state tbat the river is about sta tionary and no fears of a flood are en tertained. New Orleans, March 30 A special to the Daily States, dated Helena. Ark., says: . The river rose here two and a halt inches during the last, twenty-four hours. The weather has cleared and is bright and sunshiny, giving a needed breathing spell to the . people who are working on tbe levees. The Iron Mountain trains have been shut out of Helena, owing to backwater in the St. Francis river having flooded the track, across tbe Languilla river bridge, north of Marianna. Fifty thou sand bags, intended for use here in re pairing the levees, were thus stopped and trains on the Cotton Belt Railroad are bringing them around to Clarendon. After the severe gale of yesterday even ing repairs are being made in the whole line of levees in order to be ready for the bad weather yet to arrive. A citizen's committee raised$6 000 yes terday and another thousand to-day for the purpose of prosecuting the work. Camp B.ack. established by the relief committee for the care of tbe colored refugees, is now a village of nearly two hundred souls. Tbe refugees, both white and black, are not averse to work and yesterday, when the situation was so critical, they went to work with a will. The rescue steamer Maude came up from below at noon and reported the levee below as being in good condi tion and ready for eighteen inches of more water.. Altogether the situation is more reassuring notwithstanding the adverse weather bureau reports. New Orleans, March 30. A special to the States, dated V.cksburg, says: Tbe high water' record at this place since 1862 was broken this morning, tbe gauge reaching 49 3. A third crevasse is reported in Mississippi, seven miles above Arkansas City. Its waters added to those crevasses will complete the in undation of the lower Mississippi del. a. The break reported at Gaines' Landing, Ark., has not been verified as yet. The Louisiana ievees are holding, but Lake Providence reports tbat the water is running over Pitcher's Point levee for two miles. The break at Gunnison, or Pertshire, just below Australia, which occurred at 5 o'clock yesterday evening, is serious and damaging. At noon to day it had widened to sixteen hundred feet and was cutting us way fast. It is feared that portions of Greenville will be flooded. A break occurred at 8 o'clock tbis morning at Mound Landing, Bolivar county, seven miles north of Arkansas City. At 2 p. m. to-day this break bad reached a width of eight hundred feet and was widening fast. The water was going through with terrific force. "President Maxwell, of the Fifth Louisi ana levee district;' says to-day that un less unforeseen events occur, tbe Louisiana levees will hold. Information just, received states that the .large levee at Homochitto, in Isaquena county, is in a dangerous condition. Jackson, Miss., March 80. From he great Yazoo Mississippi delta comes a wail of distress and ' the levees have broken" is heard throughout our valley of the Nile. Three fresh breaks have been reported to-day, and through which immense volumes of water carry ing destruction to thousands of happy homes and devastating as fertile a terri torial is to be found on the globe. So far- no loss of life, except to domestic animals, has been reported, but may be by morning, as the great mounds of earth which protect the flourish ing cities of Greenville. Rosedale, Stoneville, Areola, Friar's Point, Roll ing Fork and others are water soaked, mushy and liable to give way at any moment. The four breaks that have occurred have flooded or will, flood be fore reaching the Yazoo, perhaps a week hence, the counties of . Bolivar, Washington, Sharkey,' Issaquaena. Yazoo and portiooa of others, in which are comprised the best cotton farms in the world. In this overflowed district.the State has leased eight plantations upon which with her good, able-bodied convicts, she was preparing to make another crop of cotton and corn, the latter being in fine condition. The greatest concern is for the city of Green ville, which, situated as she is in the hollow of a crescent formed by the bend of the river and surrounded by it on both sides, would be wiped out of .exist ence should a break occur in tbe imme diate vicinity. The streets of the city are twelve feet below the summit of the level, so that a bieak once formed there would be no way of stopping the Ni agara and every house in the place would be swept from its foundations and tbe remaining innabttarua burled into eternity. Fearing such a .catastrophe, those who could have migrated to the hills, but thousands still remain; Tbe breaks that occurred to-day are above and below Greenville, .fifteen miles below and twenty-five above, so that the water will pass to the rear of the city. The streams in the delta all - flow from the river and run down tbe opposite side of the valley. The topography ot the country is level, but sloping east and away from tbe river for forty miles in some places to the Yazoo, and it is down this stream the overflow water must go to again reach the Mississippi, seventy-five to one hundred miles south of where ft has left it. Thousands of people, white and black, still line the levees and are malt ing a desoerate effort to hold what re mains. It is a lite and death struggle, and for this reason . tbere is no rest day 'or night. The question has been asked to-day, does it . pay to maintain this great levee system , and old river farmers declare it does not. that life and business were more certain forty years ago. when no one expected anything but an oveifiow and prepared for it. ' Though tbe Fed eral Government has been most liberal in appropriations to the levees the planters of the delta bave spent millions more in perfecting tbe present system. Every bale of cotton in this great delta pays a tax of one dollar, wbich creates a large sum annually for levee purposes. Tbere are doubtless many who after this will be convinced that this one dollar per bale might be more profitably expended. However the crisis is on to-night, and by morning -it is probable several other breaks will bave occurred. The wa ter is reported higher than ever before known from Memphis to Vicksburg.
