High Water May Prevent Trains Entering Cincinnati. SOUTHERN GOVERNORS 10 MEET. Sterling Morton to Enter the New Cabinet. WHEN MR. HARRISON THE FLOOD AT CINCINNATI. LEAVES Great Damage Has Been Caused by the Ris- ing Waters. Crxcryxatt, Onro, Feb. 16.—As was feared, the heavy rains of the past few days caused a continuance in the rise of the Ohio river at this point. At 10 o'clock last night it was fifty-four feet. , Already much damage has been done. Mill Creek valley as far out as Cumminsville is a vast lake and hundreds of houses and barns and | cther buildings are inundated. Many fumiliee Lave been driven from home. The spring rops of the gardeners in this territory are totally destroyed. ‘The sinking of the Cincinnati wharf boat, which occurred early yesterday morning, has been the most serious loss along the river front thus far. ‘The high water is beginning to be felt in the Vicinity of the central passenger station. At Mill street the tracks which must be traversed by trains entering the station are covered with water which is fally a foot deep. At the resent rate it will not be long before the ris- ing waters will seriously interfere with the entrance of trains at the Sentral station. Fifty-six feet is the limit and should this be reached, as is expected, trains on the “Big Four,” Ohio and Mississippi, Baltimore and Ohio and other roads will not be able to enter. ~~ THE WELFARE OF THE SOUTH.

May Be Attorney The Arkansas members of the House feel very confident that ex-Representative John R. Rogers of their state will be appointed Attor- ney General. This appointment would not be received with disfavor by democrats in Con- gress whohave known Mr. Rogers,and there is no disputing his being a good lawyer. Probably if the democrats in Congress had the selection of the man they would prefer some one whom they considered as of a little heavier weight. Rogers was conspicuous in Congress for his fighting qualities and his strong partisanship. With but three members of the cabinet yet to be determined upon, there is a great loss of interest in matter, especially as the Congressmen feel that their wishes | will have little weight with Mr. Cleveland. | The chances are that if the thing were pattoa rote Culberson of Texas would hare four-fifths of the democrats in both branches of Congress favoring him for Attorney General, but he has refused to allow any one to present his name to Mr. Cleveland and will not seek the place in any manner. I or Secretary of Agriculture Gen. Hatch of Missouri would probably have by great odds the st-ongest sup- port of any man in the country. Neither Hatch nor Culberson is now expecting to be appointed. The indications are that the attempt to work up sufficient courage among democratic Sena- tors to oppose the confirmation of Judge | of Gresham failed and that there will be | no open opposition. A good many democrats, jin spite of a very widespread feeling | of dissatisfaction, defend thi wise, politically other grounds, would like to fight. NO EX-CONFEDERATES YET. | There is considerable comment at the Capitol about the fact that Mr. Cleveland, though he has selected two southern men for places in his cabinet, has seemingly avoided the selection of any who served in the confederate army. Carlisle was a Union man Smith was too young to be in the war. The | ion is expressed that if the fact that a man | served in the conféderate army is considered | by Mr. Cleveland sufficient reason why ho | should not go into the cabinet it is carrying | the sectional feeling almost as far ss it| would be carried by # party not composed in | part of ex-confederates nor dependent upon the solid support of the confederate states for the election of a President. ‘The opinion is expressed that the only reason Mr. Herbert of Alabama, who is a warm per- sonal supporter of Mr. Cleveland, has not | been selected ‘appointment as well as good on | ‘this discourages those who is because Herbert is an! ex-confederate. The feeling is very strong | thet some democrat who has bad| vice in Congress and has been long identitied with the work of the party during its struggles while in the minority should be placed in the cabinct if for no other reason than to indi- | | cate that the President-elect doesnot consider the old war horses of the party, who have given it ite character since its organization, unworthy of recognition. OPPOSITION TO GRESHAM WEAKENING. In all probability the party men will become reconciled to theappointment of Judge Gresham, and there are indications that by the time the appointment is given to the Senate there will not bea word said against it. A good men who are not in the habit of lool politics as Mr. Cleveland docs say that it is | possible that his policy may be a good one to | strengthen and build up the party, and that | they are willing that it should be given a fair | inl. ‘They go so far as to guggest that the ap- | poiutmentof Mr. MacVeagh as Attorney General | would bea good thing if the policy indicated by | the selection of Judge Gresham is a good one. ‘This suggestion is not made contemptuously by those who are angry, but in earnest by some who would like to'see it tried. They say that MeVeagh did as much for Mr. Cleveland as did Gresham. 8 A GALLANT OFFICER. Some Incidents in the Career of Licut. Reynolds. | Lieut. Reynolds of the navy, who died from the effect of the injuries he received in| being thrown under acable car, was a very | gallant officer and popular in the service. The news of Lieut. Reynolds’ death caused | quite a commotion in naval circles. He was a | very popular officer, and had a large number of friends in this city. He was born in Mont- gomery, Ala. and graduated at the NuvalAcademy in 1876,” Three years Jater, while an ensign attached to the Constellation, he performed an act of heroism for which he was decorated by Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria-Hungary. While the vessel was in a storm near the Azores in December, 1879, she sighted the 100 at ta were rescued with diffi- culty. The captain thereupon declined to order ‘any more boats out. ENSIGN REYNOLD$ VOLUNTEERED. Ensign Reynolds said he wouldattempt toreach the wreck if he was provided withacrew. Volun- teers were found without trouble and after con- siderable work boat's crew, with Reynolds in charge, was successfully launched and managed to reach the Olivia in time to rescue the master and her crew of eleven men. It took twelve trips, consuming the entire day, to transfer these men to the Constellation. Ensign Rey- nolds and his crew received the thanks of the Austrian government for their heroic work. WITH THE GREELY RELIEF EXPEDITION. Subsequently Ensign Reynolds became a member of the Greely relief expedition and was one of the first to greet the survivors in their icy retroat. He was attached to the Bear, un- der Lieut. Commander Emory. He became a lieutenant in June, 1891, while in command of the coast survey steamer Endeavor, and continued on that duty up to the time of his death.

HE ARRAIGNS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY | Talks About the Sugar Bounty and Hawaiian Annexation. PENSION APPROPRIATION The Bill Still Under Considera-| tion in the House. SENATE. After some routine business the Senate took up the sundry civil appropriation bill, the pend- ing question being on the amendment (recom- mended by the committee on appropriations) reducing the appropriation for the improve- | ment of the harbor of Philadelphia from $500,- | 000 to $300,000. In the course of a discussion on the amend- ment Mr. Vest (Mo.) alluded to Mr. Aliso: of the ‘public treasury and said tha would bave been better if that Senator (the distinguished leader financially of — the | republican party) had come to that conclusion | ome time ago. Instead of any reasonable and | judicious remedy being applied to the present conditions of affairs, what was the specta- | cle now presented to the country? ‘The Secre- tary of the Treasury was found in Wall street begging like an Italian mendicant for gold from the banks of the country, in order to sustain the pudlic credit. And it was openly avowed by distinguished statesmen, who were making | history and a reputation 'for the future, t their object was to tide over the next’ two weeks soas to leave the present disgraceful condition of financial affairs on the incoming administration of Mr. Cleveland. Whatever might be Mr. Cleveland's faults ax an adtninis- trative officer or as a political leader he had left a net surplus of 100,000,000 m the treasury. Why was it that the Senator | from Iowa had never thought of getting rid of the bounty paid on sugar? Why was it that republicans had availed themselves of the Peculiar condition of southern Senators and | presentatives on the pension question and | of the timidity of northern Senators and Rep- | resentatives on the same question to putapon | the country the most enormous pension obliga- | tion known to all civi jon? Mr. Vest charged Mr. Frye with tho responsi- | bility for the sugar bounty, and alluded to the | attitude of Senators Edmunds and Morrill | toward that subject. ‘The other day, Mr. Vest continued, the dis- | tinguished Senator from New Hampshire (Mr. | Chandler) proposed legislation prohibiting im- migration for twelve months—first, because the nmigration was of such character as to threaten the moral and political welfare of | the country, and, secondly, because of the dan- | ger of the introduction of Asiatic cholera. But scarcely had the Senator's eloquence ceased | to reverberate when « dispatch came from San Francisco stating that the emistaries of a revolutionary government in Hawaii were on their way to Washington for the pur- pose of asking annexation to the United States, And it was also made known to the American people that that revolution had been a complished penceably; that a “town meeting’ had been called; and on this information (meager as it was) the Senator from New Hampshire rushed frantically into this cham- ber, scarcely waiting for the conclusion of | morning prayer, and offered resolutions for the immediate and unconditional annexation of the Hawaiian Islands, with their 90,000 inhabitants, about 4,000 of them whites and the | rest Kanakas, Chinese, Jupanese, Polynesia and the lineal descendants of cannibals, ani with the institution of leprosy firmly estab- | lished in the midst of these blissful aslands. | And now we are told by the morning papers | that there is to be another “continuing appro- priation” for the late Queen of Hawaii of $20,000 a year. ills (Tex.)—And a bounty for their , too. Mr. Vest—And a bounty for their sugar. but | Iseo that the autocrat of the Hawaiian Islands —Minister Stevens—says that it ought to be re- duced to 212 a ten. Is it not strange that, in ail this furore of jingoism, we hear nothing of the Hawaiian Commercial Company, as it is called, an immense corporation, 60 per cent of whose | assets consists in sugar plantations on the Hawaiian Islands, and the stock of which is owned almost entirely by Claus Spreckles? That | stock today is selling at a nominal figure, but if | annexation takes place millions on millions will | be put in the pockets of the men who own this stock. The Senator from New Hampshire (Mr.Chandler) is willing now to em- brace leprosy, although he shudders with fright at the idea of Asiatic cholera. I can ima that statesman, after annexation is accompli, as the French ‘say, standing on the pebbly | beach at Honolulu, with his statesman-like ey: fixed on the heaving billows of the dark Pacific | rolling away to that glorious land where the | dreams of the ancients located the “Islands of | the Blest. Before him glides the sylph-like form of som: Kanaka maiden, while the roar of the breakers reminds him of the applause of his countrymen. | Looking across this immense area of water he might well exclaim: “No pent-up Utica contracts our powers, ‘The whole unbounded universe is ours.” Kanakas, cholera, leprosy and all. We are, by this ‘continuing appropriation” for Hawaii, on the system invented by the Senator from Maine (Mr. Frye), standing on a voleano. The eruptions of that known as Mauna-Loa are i | week, when added. Mr, Wanamaker makes no recommen- dation om the subject, but transmits a propost- tion from Frank B.’ Conger, as for the Union building, now occupied’ by the city post office, to have the unused portion of that build- ing occupied by the money order division. THE SENATE DISTRICT COMMITTEE. Senator McMillan and his committee on the District are now prepared to handle any matter that may come before that committee with dis patch. Mr. McMillan appreciates the value of time, expecially in the last days of # session, and with the idea of being ready to act on any subject at once he yesterday obtained perm: sion from the Senate for the District commit- tee to ait at any time during the sessions of the Senate for the remainder of this Congress. THE SENATE DISTRICT COMMITTEE. At the meeting of the Senate District com- mittee yesterday it was decided to report fa- vorably the Sandy Springs and Burnt Mills rail- road bill, The measuré was amended, however, in such a way as to strike from the bill all the provisions which allowed the road to run freight cars. As the bill was reported to the Senate today it is a simple passenger road. The bill introduced to allow an_ extension of two years for the construction of the Sandy Springs narrow gauge road was ordered to be adversely reported. The committee also decided to report asa substitute for the Senate bill now on the calendar to establish a board of charities tho House bill which recently passed that bods. The House bill excludes from the operations of the board the reform school for boys. MR. PARKER'S NOMINATION. At the regular weekly meeting of the Se ate District committee, which will be held ton.or row morning, the committee will take under consideration the nomination of Mr. Parker as District Commissioner.

In spite of the many applications and peti- | tions from bicyclists for a change in the reg lutions concerning the compulsory use of a bell and light after sun Commissioners to~ day decided not to the regulation, but to let it stand as it is. They think it pro- tects the pedestrian as now worded and are afraid that a change will work no good. HAVE OBSTRUCTED THE STREETS. In connection with the Commissioners’ action concerning the opening of Canal and 2d streets, Mr. William Birney has called attention to the obstructed condition of O street, and that fences have been thrown across Canal street, 3d street and across P street at its intersection with Delaware avénue, and not far from the eastern terminus of the Pared.sidewalk on P strect. Rumor says, Mr. Birney cdntinues, that the parties who are guilty of this unwarranted occupation o! several public street have attempted to hav the ground so seized assessed to them.
