Great Floods i'm Texas.

GALVESTON, Texas, May 22.-Specials to the
NeaCs from all portions of the state indicate that
the recent rainfall was one of the heaviest ever
known in Texas, and in portion of the area it
has never been surpassed within the history of
the state. This belt extends from the Red river
to the Gulf, over 500 miles north and south, and
from the Louisiana and Arkansaw line westward
$50 miles. The damage to agricultural interests
is very great, while the damage to railroads is of
the most serious character. All railroads within
the storm belt have practically closed operations
for the present. It is thought that 100 miles of
the Houston & Texas Central track is
under water to an average depth of
nearly two feet. The International and
Great Northern, the Missouri Pacific, the Gulf
Colorado & Santa Fe, and other lines running
through the storm belt are also inundated, but
not to such an extent as the Houston Central
All the lines report many losses of bridges and
culverts. 1t will be two days before travel is
possible, and as many weeks before all the dam
age to the track can be repaired. The storm
continued two days closing this evening and
passing south to Corpus Christi, Brownsville and
North Mexico, where it is now raining hard .

NEW YORK.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |


New YORK, May 22.-Free selling of Union
Pacific and Jersey Central characterized the early
dealings this morning. The latter declined about
7points during the first hour. This affected the
balance unfavorably, and the result was a weak
and unsettled market throughout. After few
spasmodic rallies weakness followed and all
stocks, good, bad and indifferent, dropped frac-
ton at time until the whole list looked decid--
edly tired. Pullman rested at about par. Friends
of the proprty are reported as willing to purchase
1t at that figure. The liquidation in Union Pacific
continued throughout the day, and there was no
end to the amount for sale on all
rallies. 1t was the same in Jersey Central. The
guarantee of6 per cent. on it by the Reading was
laughed at when first announced, and it seems
thoroughly ridiculous news. There was a lirght
business in Illinois Central Rock Island Chicago,
Burlington Quincy and New York Central but
the little done was at a lower range in
ALL Delaware s. Hudson sold at 81.
There was apparently no inclination to check the
declines. Orders to buy were few and far be-
tween and the market at times was dull and
stupid Northwestern touched par at the last,
and the whole list looked about as feeble as the
most sanguine bear could desire. In closing mo-
ments there were slight improvements, caused
principally by shorts covering.
Henry Clews & Co. say: 'sTo-day was more
calm than any previous day since the so-called
panic set in, owing to the absence of disquieting
rumors and freedom from panic feeling, There
was due to these causes, quiet tone prevail
ing. While there was no great exhibition of
spirits there was no marked depression to be
found anywhere, The converts are apparently
on an increase to the bull side, whose belief that
we are nearing the end to the turning point, and
now that people have got down to condition of
mind where reflection has its influence. there is
general recognition that the recent so-called
panic is unlike that of 1873, as it came in ad-
vance OF shrlnkage, and naturally three years of
disaster followed, whereas we have had a con-
stant liquidation of three years shrinkage in
advance of the present disturbance, consequent
ly we have bottom to rise from without waiting
long before, and when recuperaton sets in it is
not unlikely to be rapid. We continue to see no
reason to change our minds in recommending the
purchase for investment Of the dividend-p paying
properties and consider the opportunity rare
one to pick them up''

Horr in rising to question of privilege and
charging the Hon. William II. English with
violation of the privileges of an eX-member
by lobbying in the interests of his son as the
contestant in the English-Peelle election
case. Mr.. English was vigorously defended
by Randall and Cox, of New York, and no
action was then taken. Mr. Horr promised,
if an investigation was in order, to prove a
good deal more then he had stated.
Subsequently the house adopted resolu-
ton directing special committee of seven

Mr. English has violated the privileges of the
floor, and whether any ex-member employed
as an attorney in any contested election
case, or for railroad or other corporation has
abused its privileges.
The Senate by vote of yeas, %; nays,
80, refused to reconsider the bill prohibiting
the mail to newspapers containing lottery
advertisements, and it goes to the foot of

The house committee on public health, to-

extending the powers of the national board
of health. Also, agreed the report of the
resolution appropriating 100000 as a con-

the president, which includes an unexpend-

year, and also the resolution appropriating

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The bill recently re-

izing the construction of railroad from Sioux
City west via Yankton, to connect with the one
hundredth meridian, is attracting good deal of

that they involved the bulk OF his available

death. These measures have been taken with
