DISASTROUS FLOODS.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-The recent sudden thaw
caused numerous floods in England and
Scotland. At Nottingham the flood is the
greatest for fourteen years. The country

The distress among the poorer populace
seems about stationary at the great indus
trial centers. The lord mayor of London
writes he considers it unadvisable to start
central fund for London, as he gathers that
the distress is not at present SO exceptionally
heavy as to overpower local relief organiza-
lions. The mayors of Manchester, Preston,
Sheffield and Blackburn replying to official
Inquiries state that local resources are sufi-
cient to meet the distress. This report, how
ever. has provoked Indignation in the case
of Blackburn, where IA 900 persons are un-
employed.

Informed Home Secretary Cross that local
resources are able to cope with the distress
at these localities.

turbances ensue, Lord Northcote NAV on the
whole be but little worse off than he antici
pated.
