THE WILD WATERS.
Destructive Floods I'm Canadi

PoRT HOPE, CANADA, February 22.-
The late heavy rains caused the greatest
food that has ever visited this locality,
be ice and water coming down with ter
rife force and sweeping everything
before it. All the stores in the
lower part of the town are full
OF water and great damage has
been done. All the railroad bridges IN
the vicinity have been carried away.
OMAHA, February 22.-The heavy
rain last evening caused the water TO rise

Sacramento Flood.
A Sacramento special says that the
levee on AndroS Island, in Delta
river, broke yesterday, and that
island and Brsnnon Island, which
is connected with it by dykes,
are uOOueQ. esLeTuhy alkcEuOOut
the levee on Grand Island broke, and the
island is row flooded. These three is-
lands contain about 10000 acres, mostly
in high state of cultivation. The high
bank land along the rivers is mostly de-
voted to orchard, and vegetable farms,
while the interior is broad expanse OF
wheat fields. The damage will be i'm
mense. 1t is thought that the estimate
of the Sacramento correspondent, which
is from Sl5,0O0,000 to $4,000, 900, is un-
doubtedly gross exsggeTation. Steamers
and bsrges have been sent from Sacra.

Presidential VETO.
The Next Actin the silver Drama

WASHINGTON, February N.-The
President will veto the Silver Bill. This
is as reliable as anything that has been
sent from here on the subject, and much
more reliable than the majority OF pre-
tended authoritative paragraphs. de
will veto it because he Concelves that he
cannot help it; that be is committed TO
It in every way that an Executive can
be committed. He knows that the bill
will be passed over his veto, and tnst
the strength OF the silver movement con-
tinuslly grows, but be has
committed himself upon the other
side so emphsticallY that there
remains no other course but to Indicate
his opinions through q veto, although
convinced beforehand that it can be OF
no practical effect in stopping the silver
wave. Nor will the passage OF the bill
over his veto cause him the regret that
might be supposed al the first view. =.
II the law is u success in its practical
workings, and il sll good and 10 harm
comes from it, and the predictions OF Its
v.rmest advocates are realized, no one
will be better pleased than the President.
While he wishes that 1t may be success
and bring relief 10 the people without
damaging the National credit, yet his
isi.A is not equsl 10 bis wishes.
How the Law VIII be Executed.
As for the Secretary Of the Treasury,
when the bill goes into effect. ne Will
give the country all the silver it wants
limited only by the limit fIsd in the law
itself. The charge upon the moor ot tne
House to-day that Sherman would not, as
an enemy, allow silver to be coined dol
lar more than be could possibly help un'
der the law, was made by members no!
we'll informed. 1.-THE silver movement
is not a success after il ia msde the law
of the land, it will not be the fault ot
Secretary Sherman. He will cause the
silver dollar to be rsined upon The ooun'
trv very copiously, snd perhaps vii! not
let up even after the expected cries o!
"Enough-enough," are heard IN the
land. sherman Is not halfway man
in this m.tter. l. is very probable ihs;
he will go the whole animal.
Regular silver Epidemic.
Tonight the members, IN private con-
ves.tion, declare themselves indideren
whether the President yetoes or not, but
sIl the friends Of silver predict that ih'
bill will be passed over the veto ey
larger nsjority than i: pas yet hsd. TIE
truth is the silver movements CROWNS
enormously. Il is likened 70 al ePi
demic. Few can stand against the cur
rent and .ome Of those who are attempt

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
Bismarck : speech Dislik ed I'm South
Germany.

LONDON, February pa Berlin
special says that Prince Bismarck's speech
is disliked in South Germany, where the
popular wish is to support Austria.
Assurances counterscting the unfsvors-
BILE effect OF the speech and calculated to
persuade the public that Germany will
not oppose Austria in any war, are cir
culsted in more quarters than one.
VIII Not 90 10 81. Petersburg.
The Agence Russo Gays that Namyk
Pasha will not come TO st. Petersburg, as
such mission as was intrusted to him
could serve no purpose, ss the Grand
Duke Nicholas is invested with full
power to treat with Turkey. The
journey of Namyk would only increase
the delay in the negotist ons for peace.
Turkey is wrong to perseverse in this
course.
San Francisco.
SAN Francisco, February o.
Washington's birthday was celebrated
here by partial suspension Of business.
Flags were displayed throughout the
city and on the shipping IN the hsrbor.
A review of the National Gusrd was the
oaly public demonstration made.
Two Dangers Remain.
The London Times, commenting on
the statements in Parliaments last even
ing, SAYS: "Now that immediate anxiety
is allsyed, two dangers remain. One is
that the Turks may even yet be encour-
aged to resistance by the vote of credit
and the recent movement of the English
ships and the other that the approxlma-
,lon of the warllke forces OF England
and Russia may lead to accidental col.
lision.
The Feeling I'm Sc. Petersburg.
ST. PETERSBURG, February 22. The
state of feeling here in consequence OF
the recent events, especially the speech
of Prince Bismarck in the Reichstsg, is
fairly represented by the following pas
ages from the Beaomosti: Ingratitude is
the ordinary result of the self-sacriicing
activity of Russia. We become so accus.
toned TO it that it no longer astonishes US.
No sooner is war finished, than we meet
on al sides intrigues and hostility, not
only from powerful neighbors who
can support their words by force, but
even from powerless little States like
Roumsnia and Greece. Some attach
much Importance to the statement EN-
peror William telegrsphed the Gar, re-
minding him Of his promise to fulfill
certain duties toward Austria, but tear
the Car has lost sll control over the
war party.
A Fabrication.
LONDON, February PA special
dated Constantnople, "Wednesday, re.
ports that the Gar has telegrsphed
that the Russians will occupy CONSTANT
nope if the Turks continue to delay the
signing of the terms of peace, which in
clude the cession of Armenia and the
surrender of the Turkish fleet. Many
Turkish deputies have been arrested and
sent into exile.
ST. HETERsBUTG, February 22.-The
Agence Russo says that the kilograms as
serting that the Russians are about to
enter Constantinople are fsbriCations.
