Senatat Aliltich and Simlary MacVaasli Gaa'I tgrea Washiujrton, Jan. 31.—Secretary Mac- Veagh of the treasury departinent and Senator Aldrich, chairm a n of the sen ate finance committee, have found it difficult to hit it off together since the Taft administration assumed control. Last summer when the tariff bill was under consideration at more than one conference held at the White House they found themselves in disagreement not only as to the items and the fram ing of certain features of the tariff hill, but on the broad question of tariff' pol icy. Secretary MacVeagh favored a genuine reduction of the duties all along the list. As is proved by the final new tariff law, Mr. Aldrich never i had any such ideas. j Now the secretary of the treasury and the chairman of the finance com mittee differ as to the rate of interest to be borne by the issue of United States bonds authorized in the Payue- Aldrich tariff law. By an oversight the conferees on the tariff bill did not specifically provide that the bonds au thorized should be payable in gold coin of the standard weight and fineness. A bill to remedy this has been intro duced into the house and referred to the committee on ways and means and doubtless will be passed by both branches presently. The specific point of difference be tween Mr. MacVeagh and Mr. Aldrich is that Mr. MacVeagh believes that the bonds to be issued should pay 3 per cent interest, so as to make them attractive as investments to trustees, executors of the slate and general in vestors. This would require a change In the law to equalize the rate of tax ation upon national bank circulation secured by deposits of United States bonds. SEN. CULBERSON IS BETTER. Texan Won’t Resign From Senate. Returns to Duties Soon. Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 31.—United States Senator Culberson of Texas, who came here some time ago for rest following a nervous breakdown, con tinues to improve. Rumors have reached him that he intended resign ing his seat in the senate, but he sayp there is not truth in the reports. The senator is in close toueh with affairs at Washington and expects to return there soon. He is a daily ixromender on the board walk. To Celebrate Lincoln’s Birthday. 'New York.

Seine Continues to Go Down, but It Will Be Fortnight Before Normal Stage Is Reached—Funds For the Stricken Pour In From All Parts of the World. Paris, Jan. 31.—xAlthongh the turbu lent waters of llie river Seine in Paris are slowly falling, the sitnaiion in the stricken city ar.d throughout the flood ed valloj\ of the river and its tributa ries is still extiemely grave. After a night spent in i>ractieal darkness hun- ' dreds are without food and slielter. Troops and civilians are now toiling ceaselessly, bringing succor to the dis tressed. Their work is being supple mented by that of a small army of physicians laboring to alleviate illness and to prevent danger of a pestilence. • In Paris, where it will yet take the Seine at its present rate of falling a fortnight to subside to its original lev el. hundreds of danger points are being as zealously guarded as when the flood was at its height, while at every dan ger point great throngs of citizens press upon the cordon of troops, eager to see all they can now that danger of imminent death seems withdrawn. Houses are still collapsing in many quarters, their foundations, Aveakened by many days of undermining, having at last given away. In many sections of the city the water still boils through the streets, making The work of rescue extremely difficdJf? ' '' | Soldiers Shoot Apaches. ' Ghouls are still a menace to the stricken citizens, and many of them en-, countered by the soldiers who are pa-' trolling the flooded districts have been summarily shot. Three were shot by the zouaves. So constant is the dan ger to these looters that many have transferred the scene of their opera tions to the districts outside the city. | At Brie and Ivry four killings by sol diers of ghouls are reported. Scenes as extraordinary as those which marked the siege of the city by the Germans are still taking place in Paris. A play by candlelight was one of them. It was given at the Comedie Francaise, where the manager explain-' ed to a meager audience that he thought the national theater of France should close its doors under no eir-' cumstances, especially when a nation al calamity made the necessity of hero ism and relief from thoughts of dan ger imperative. With electricity and heat gone the pla.v then proceeded, the volatile Parisians in the audience ap plauding with almost hysterical gayety. j Active relief measures are in prog- ' ress. More than $250,000 from the funds raised by the newspapers has been turned over to the relief societies of the city and the local authorities of i the towns and villages outside Paris.' This is in addition to the aid directly distributed by the government. Grate- j fill references are made to the aid of the United States and of its citizens. I It was pointed out at a meeting of j the municipal council that careful prep arations have been taken against dan ger of contagion as the flo<>d subsides and exception taken to reports spread abroad that the city was in danger of disease following the subsidence of the flood. , ! With France’s appeal having found ready response in generous hearts, contrilmtions for fhe relief of the flood sufferers are already pouring in rapid ly in dozens of cities throughout the United States, while organizations are | planning systematic collections and benefit programs are being prepared for presentation in half a hundred theaters.

Nashville, Iiid., Jan. 31.—David Om- Btein, a farmer living in the southern part of Brown county, has found that bread cast upon the waters returns after many days, only in this case it was a bread and meat “handout” given a tramp five years ago. One bitterly cold day in December, 1904, a tramp appeared at the Orn- stein home. He was given supper, a bed and breakfast and departed. While the family was at supper a man called and asked food and shelter for the night. He was taken in and after supper handed Mr. Oriistein a twenty dollar gold piece, explaining it was for the supper given five years ago.
