SAN FRANCISCO, February S.-DIspatcheE
from points in the central and northern
parts of the State report rain, which be-
gan last night and extended through the
State. The fall so far is not heavy. There
is no further danger of an overflow In the
Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, un-
less warm rain falls on the high sierras,
The Sacramento valley waters are falling,
and the worst is thought to be over. Many
steamers are plying over the submerged
plains, taking off people and stock who had
taken refuge on the levees and knolls, and
were in some instances standing In the
water. Scattering reports indicate consid-
erable loss of life. There has been no COM
munication with the northern sea coast
counties for two weeks.

The GIANTS CAUsEWAY. Land to the
extent of one square mile of surface, ex-
tending to the depth of one hundred
wards. would serve to unite Ireland and
Scotland, as they were undoubtedly
united at no distant geological period.
The North Channel, between the Null of
Cantier and Tor Point, is nineteen miles
wide and four hundred and seventy four
feet deep in the middle, bat much shall
lower near either side. An English en-
gineer, named ]. G. King, proposes to
rebuild the Giants Causeway of tradition
and make roadway across this channel.
From hills on both coasts the material
for the new could be run down readily
into the sea. If the engineers data are
correct, there is no doubt but that the
thing could be done; the only question
is, would it pay?

in disgrace. He will forever live in history,
not only as the first fraudulent President, but
as the first President who sought nothing fur

been more proper to have put the latter first.

stated the other day that as far as business
was concerned-outside the appropriation and

sion was practically ended. Recent events

even one of virgil's Sy6fls would not
amount to anything as a prophet in

business of a general character will be trans
acted. made no mention in my recent letters
as to the prospects of reapportionment Mr.
Cox, Chairman Of the Census Committee. has
done his best to have the reapportionment
based on the late census made by the present
Congress. Within the past two days his efforts
In this direction have not only been well-timed
but backed by ready tact and perseverance,
But he has made no headway. In fact, he has
only been able to demonstrate that it will be
impossible to have the apportionn ent made
this session, which consequently throws the
whole subject into the hands of Republican
House. 1t is useless to detail the causes that
credit whatever upon the Democratic majority.
