At Point Pleasaiit the river in the last twenty- fcur hours had riseg,4.3 feet; at Catletts- burg, 5 feet, and at Portsmouth, 5.9 feet. New river had risen one foot at Hinton, W. Va., and the Kanawha 2.3 at Charles- ton, W. Va. Here the rise in twenty-four hours was 2.8. The: river is expected to continue to. rise until Synday,.syhen the stage may. reach from 56 to 58 feet. The stage at-10 a.m. was 55.1, ‘rising two-tenths in the last heur. A quite considerable rainfall, beginning shcrtly before 9 o'clock, was an unexpected and unwelcome feature. More rain is ex- Pected. The railroad situation has changed here by the abardenment-of the Central Union station by all. the roads using it except these coming 6n the Chesapeake and Ohio track, which does not use the “ditch.” Temporary stations are made at 8th street and at Storrs., AH ‘the roads are running with extreme caution. The. eastern roads are compelled to detour except the Chesa- peske and Ohio. The C. H. and D. is using its own track to Hamilton, Dayton and Toledo. An offcer of the Big Four road says the loss to the roads entering Cincinnati can- not be less than a million dollars. The Big Four bridge at Cleves wilk cost $20,000, and this is but one of many such structures that will have to be replaced: The loss of traffic is enormous, as the freight carried just preceding the flood was far beyond that of a year ago. —_+—_—. THE WEEK. The Inte: ional Crisis. The report of the naval court of inquiry into the Maine’ disaster was brought to Washington by Lieutenant Commander Marix, the judge advocate of the court, end placed in the hands of the President; the report showed that the battle ship was blown up by an outside explosion from either a fixed or floating submarine mine; the first explosion was followed by a sec- ond in one of the magazines of the ship; the President called a meeting of the cabi- net to consider the report, and after a long discussion a cablegram was dispatched to Minister Woodford at Madrid.’ ‘The report of the Spanish court of inquiry was cabled to Madrid from Havana Friday; it was said that the finding of this court was that the ship was blown up by an accident within thie vessel. The Spanish torpedo fictil- la eatled from the Canaries for Porto Rico. Admiral Sicard was relieved from duty in ccmmand of the North Atlantic station, stationed at Key West, and Captain W. T.

The Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Audaz has arrived at, Waterford, Ireland, with her bows stove in and her stem twist- ed completely aréund" from about ten feet from the stern. Members of the Madrid cabinet were reported to be divided, some of them being strongly in favor of war, though the peace party was active. Spain was reported to have bought a cruiser from Italy; the name Canovas was pro- posed to be-given the vessel. There was more talk in Madrid of an international court to settle the Maine dispute; Spain, it was said, would prefer Swiss, Belgian or Swedish arbitrators to English. Senators Gallinger and Thurston made speeches in the Senate regarding the situation in Cuba, which both depicted as being deplorable beyond description; Senator Thurston de- clared it to be the duty of the United States to intervene to stop the inhuman condi- tions which prevail on the island. El Comercio, a Havana newspaper, made the statement that the southern and western states would seek to divide the Union in case of war. A Berlin dispatch stated that Spain had surely made overtures to Aus- tria, Germany and Italy for support in case of war. The battle ships Kearsarge and Kentucky were launched at the New- port News shipyards. Domestic.

The dervishes were driven back in two minor engagements with the Anglo-Egyp- tian forces near Atbara, on the Nile. It was reported in London that Lord Salis- bury would remain premier,-but that a re- ecrstruction ofthe British cabinet was probable.

Kaufman, the advertising manager of S. Kann, Sons &Co. of this city, was award- ed the gold medal for public speaking at the contest between students of Johns Hop- kins University, Baltimore, held last night in McCoy’s Hall in that city. The evening was an eventful one for the "varsity men, as It was the time set for the debating and declamation contests that have been so eagerly anticipated for several weeks. In- tense partisan rivalry, of a keen but friend- ly character, Lad sprung up amongst the contestants, and their wide circies of in- terested friends. As a consequence the audience last night was distinguished for numbers as well as beauty and fashion. One of the largest crowds ever observed at the university was present for the events. The evening's program contained the con- tests of public speaking, as weil as the set debate between the classes of 189 and 1899. In the former contest Profs. E. H. Griffin, H. E. Green and H. F. Smith were judges. All the competitors re of the class of 1900. In the first section Mr. D. M. Lid- dell won the silver medal, his selection be- ing “Our National Defense; the Citizen Soldier.” His rival was Mr. A. V. R. Scher- merhorn, who recited the speech of Patrick Henry in 1775. In section second Mr. Her- bert Kaufman won the gold medal, his se- lection being ‘Universal Emancipation. His rivals were Mr. W. P. Shriver, who de- livered the “Cente inial Address,” and Mr. Fsederick Foster, who rendered “Our Re- lutions with England in 1824.’ Mr. Kaufman has made a uniformly ex- celient record in all his studies at Johns Hopkins, and this latest evidence of his ability will doubtless be extremely gratiiy- ing to his numerous friends here. pees cine Annual Supper.

House’s Slow Progress on the Naval Bill, The stirring scenes of the Fifty-first Con- gress, when members of the minority were charging down the aisles protesting against the ruling of Speaker Reed, were recalled yesterday in the turbulent protests made by the minority of the House of Represen- tatives against a ruling of the chair durin the consideration of the naval uppropriation bill, The ruling im effect compelled mem bers to confine their remarks under th five-minute rule to the subject before the House and was made against Mr. Hartman (Mont.), who attempted to make a political speech. Tke ruling was denounced as a usurpation and appeal after appeal was taken. When all else failed every expedient was resorted to to block progress with the bill. As a re- sult but four pages were passei upon. B fore the bill was taken up for amendmen Mr. Foss (Ill), a meniber of the naval con. mittee, made a general speech in advecacy of the policy of building up a strong and powerful navy.
