WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The publication
here of list of names prominent in con-
nection with Shepherds Peruvian company
scheme is the object more Of merriment than
anything else, even to those whose names are
in the list 1t appears that the names were
used promiscuously, without any authority
from the owners of the names. Congressman
Hewitt says he received circular marked
CONFIDENTIAL" and that it informed him the
circular would be called for; that he put it in
his desk without giving it any consideration,
and subsequently somebody did call for it.
He not only never consented to the use OF his
name, but never took any notice of this clrcu-
lar. The same state of facts apply to
other names used. Shepherd seems to have
pursued Guiteau's plan of claiming the ac
quaintance and association OF public men. If
he knew their names or address, it was
enough. 1t is already apparent that no seri-
Gus consequences are involved. He sent the
circulars to parties and without waiting to
hear from them entered their names as asso-
ciates of his in his chimerical scheme. One
of the amusing incidents connected with the
publication Of these names is that
Belmont offered the
resolution calling for submission of the list to
the house, and among the names presented is
that of his father, August Belmont.
OTHER DHNIALs.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Jesse Seligman, Sam
uel Sloan, Wn. K. Jessup & Co., s. D. Bah
cock and Dr. Kerwin Green declare the use of
their names by Shepherd altogether unwar-
rapted, and they know nothing of him or his
Peruvian scheme. Shepherd and Grant refused
to be interviewed.

Passage of the Immediate Deficiency Bill

Passage of the Immediate Deficiency Bill
-Denunciation and Defense of the Stand
ard Silver Dollar.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The bill to pro-
mote the efficiency of the life saving service
was reported, and the house went into COM
mittee of the whole on the immediate de-
ficiency bill, which approbriates $1,S22, 1888.
The item of deficiency for public printing
gave rise to debate, during which Atkins
stated the great cost of public printing was
in a great measure due to the extravaganza of
the committee on printing of the last con-
gress. This brought Singleton to his feet in
defense of that committee, of which he was
then chairman. Over the clause in the i'm
mediate deficiency bill, appropriating $4,000
for the construction of vaults in the treasury
and sub-treasury, quite an interesting discus
sion arose upon the silver question.
Mr.. Hewitt made vigorous attack upon
the standard silver dollar, characterising it as
a cheat and fraud, and fiat money in its first
and most repulsive and Objectionable sense,
end asserting it rendered all commercial trans
actions cheating transactions.
Messrs. Stephens and Marsh defended the
silver dollar, declaring it was the true unit OF
value. They characterized the act of 1873 as
an act passed for the purpose of degrading sill
yer, and Marsh declared the cry that the stan
dard was fraudulent was false in fact and un-
true in principle.
Mr.. Buckner also defended the standard
dollar.
After further discussion upon various items
in the bill, the committee rose and reported ii
to the house. Passed-yeas 155; nays 26. AID

common enemy, and Irepeat it. Ibelieve that
safety lies in a union of the state with France.
The European balance of power must be re-
established, or there will soon be only one
power-Germany." The general also told the
interviewer he had come to Paris entirely OF
his own accord, and that SO far from being in
disgrace, the emperor had just had new ship
named after him as signal mark of favor.
INDIGNATION.
BERLIN, Feb. 19.-All the newspapers here

RAMPANT RIVERS.

Sorrowful Condition of Affairs on the
Lower Mississippi-The River Over Its
Banks, Flooding the Country for Fifteen
Miles on Either Side-Buildings Swept
Away, Stock Drowned, and Much Other
Damage-Great Suffering Among the
Poor.
HELENA, Ark, Feb. 1S.-There is no abate-
ment of the disasters that have overtaken the
planters of the Mississippi valley,
caused by the overfowing of the
Mississippi river between Memphis and
Vicksburg. For three weeks they have
been battling, not only with the elements
from above (asi has rained almost daily dur
ing this period), but, inch by inch, the mighty
river has been encroaching upon them until
now it is but dreary watery waste, extending
fully fifteen miles inland from bank to bank.
The destruction to dwellings, stock and lands
cannot be properly estimated. There have
been innumerabIe breaks in the levees, and the
outlook for the future is anything but hope
ful. Cattle and hogs have been drowned
by the hundred. Barns have
been swept away, and their
contents wasted. Mules and horses are suffer-
ing, and the loss to planters by these mishaps
cannot but have its effect in cramping the ia
cilities for putting in crop for the year.
This condition of affairs exists to an alarm
ing extent in Crittenden, Lee and Phillips
counties, Ark. land DeSoto, Triner and Coahoa-
mer counties, Miss. These are the largest cotton
growing counties in the Mississippi valley,
and what is true of others that have suffered
in similar manner. Starvation is threatening
many poor people whose homes are on the
banks of the streams that have overflOwed.
In some instances cabins can be found wherein
are negroes, COWS and mules, all gathered under
one shelter, awaiting the recediDg of the river
that has in it's mad fury driven them to seek
shelter by flight to the highland, The last
break occurred last night about 300 yards
above Austin, Miss. This will overflow the
entire country between Austin and Friar's
Point, distance of thirty five miles.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, Feb. 1S.-The river rose
all day at the rate of nearly one inch per hour.
This evening there are twenty light feet of
water in the channel and twenty-siX feet in
the chute on the falls. Business on the levee
from the foot of Fourth street down is sus-
pended, as the water is up to and in many of
the houses. 1t is probable that the river will
be upon the floors Of all houses around the
corner of Fourth street and the levee by morn
ing
CINCINNATI, Feb. 1S.-The water at mid
night is fifty-two feet above low water mark,
and will probably by two feet higher to-mor-
row, which will probably bring it within
eight feet of the highest ever known, which
was in 1882. Water is in the second story OF
houses in Rat Row and Sausage Row, which
are houses built down in the slope at the east
and west extremities of the landing, and it is
in the cellars of some houses on Front street.
