The Maumee River Over Its kanks-
Towns Flooded and Mach DaRace
and Suffering Kcperted.
TOLEDO, February 1.-THE heavy rain Of
yesterday and last night caused another
rise in the upper Nsumee, the water at
Defiance, Napoleon, and Florida reachinga
higher point than the food of last week,
the whole of the last named towns and por-
tions of the other being submerged. Great
damage to property all along the river and
some suffering among the people is report
ed. Many homes are abandoned. At IL
o'clock this evening the ice abreast Of the
city gave way and the water rose rapidly,
inundating the middle grounds, the Union
depot and the whole Of Water street. The
railroad offices were quickly vacated and
can not be re occupied, nor can passenger
trains enter the Union depot until the food
subsidies. The water has not reached the
mark Of 1881, but a gorge is reported to
have formed at the Wheeling and Lake
Erie railroad bridge, two miles below the
city, and two spans of the bridge are said
to be gone. The western span of the wagon
bridge at Cherry street is also carried a way.
Ii the outflow is checked by the formation
of gOrges below the city, a more destruc-
tive flood than that of 1881 is apprehended.

THE CAPITOL.
RilI Reduce Taxation.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE Ways
and Means Committee this morning prac-
tically agreed to offer Il motion in the
House next Monday to suspend the rules
and pass the bill to reduce internal revenue
taxation, in terms similar to the bill which
passed the House last session, but is now
pending in the Senate with It's load OF tarin
amendments. The committee will probably
make the bill substantially copy OF the
internal revenue provisions agreed on by
the Senate. One member of the committee
remarked afterSts adjournment this morn
ing that, very likely the House bill would
not be heard till after Monday or Tuesday"

Record. draw a pen beneath the words
which desire to call your especial atten'
ton to.
Mr.. Haskell here quotes literally from
the Record, giving the most striking pass
ages of Townhend's charges and his own
reply, and continues:
The Ways and Means Committee, or at
least those of that committee Who voted 10
report this bill to the House, are by your
remarks made TO appear as mere t9ols 10
the hands of lobby of hired monopollsts.
Such lobby l designated as "a corrupt
and scaudalous lobby" and your remarks
mskes the Ways and Means Committee
merely agents" of lobbyists, and members
Of Congress who thus act as agents or
tools" of hi=ed lobbyists are scoundrels;
In consultation with my party friends and
also with some OF your party
friends, learn that the Interpretation L
put upon your remarks at the time they
were uttered, and that l now put upon
them as they appear before me in PLAIN
type. is the one that reasonable men are
compelled to adopt. From the articles IN
this connection that have appeared In the
public press, learn that IL is the interpre.
tation put upon them by the occupants OF
the reporters gallery Of the House OF Rep
resentatives very generally. In answer,
therefore, to your implied questions con-
tanned in that portion of your letter that
first quoted, reply first, that do not
think have misinterpreted your words,
and second, do not think replied there
