CINofNHATI, February 17th.-The relief
caused By the slight fall Of the river is great.
Mud is deposited everywhere, and the work
of cleaning has begun. Il is announced that
Cincinnati will take no ousside help for her
self, but viii uae the contributions sent for
other suffering cities.
N. Hslsted telegraphs to William Henry
Huriburt, editor Of the World. New FORK, as
follows 1.-THE river recedes steadily, but
slowly. and there are phenomenal atmospheric
conditions that excite apprehension Inc
most remarkable is the temperature,
exceeding S6o for awhile to-day in
the KanaWha valley. That, OF course,
means mischief. The weather during. the
day here was fair, the sun at times
shining like summer. Tonight the air Is
balmy, like pleasant night in the latter part
of May. The hight of the water is still
astounding, being over GO feat, but the public
feeling is that the worst is over. We have
one railroad track connecting with the world,
which seems boon, as we were cut off en-
tirely few nights ago. We have also had
one pump going at the water works since
o'clock this afternoon, and the news that the
water had been raised in the reservoir caused
great rejoicing. No other pumps csn do any
thing until the water has fallen another hve
feet. There is q chance that the works may
resume in two or three days. Many OF the
public gas.lamp posts are adorned with oil
lamps, and it Is fashionable to place all night
lamps in the windows. Some streets have a
brilliant and hospitable appearance, quite in
contrast with their deep darkness few nights
ago. Cincinnati is now able to take care OF
her own population deprived Of home and
occupation by thu flood, for sgnle of the sub
scriptiors have been large and 100000 was
appropriated by the city government. The
relief organizAti is composed of substantial
business men, and their work is being done
at once with energy, and without hesitation. .
The Republicans and the Tariff.
WAsHINGToN, February 17sh.-The Re.
pubicans in the House have about abandoned
the Ways and Means Committees tariff and
taken up the Senats bill, as the only chance
of passing tariff bill at this session. The
first step in this direction was taken last
week, when Kasson introduced resolution
to change the rules of the House, the object
of which was to get the Senate bill up with
out delay whenever Is should reach thu House.
The second step was taken yesterday, when
the Ways and Means COMMITTEES yielded the
floor to the Appropriation Committee. a
move which means that the committee desires
topa5s over the time wishout further action
on their bill. The third important move
came last night, whaa Sherman asked the
Senate TO substitute the metal schedule of the
House bill for its own. The plan of pro-
cedure of the members of the Ways and
Means Committee is this: The House
will keep at work on its own bill
until the Senate bill is received in the
House and put upon the Speakers
table. Then the Republicans will collect
their forces and carefully poll them, and
when sure Of every vote and of a working
majority tbs Kasson rule will be adopted.
This can be done without delays, in spite of
dilatory motions from the other eide, if any
1. - H. do Ao
concur in the Senate amendments to the IN
ternal revenue bill. This will throw the bill
into conference committee, and the tariff
bill will be adopted as an amendment to the
revenue bill, and the two plans of reduction
of internal revenue and the revision of the
tariff will be reported and admitted to p vote
in both branches as one bill. The success OF
this plan depends upon the immediate passage
of the Senate bill. If the Senate fails TO
pass it as soon as the appropriation bills are
out of the way IN the House, the member In
charge of the House bill will make de-
termined effort to stop discussion and pass it.
This Republican programme may be upset By
majority of the Democrats voting with the
minority of the Republicans to pass the Sen
ate bill without change or amendment.
