RELIEF STEAMER CRY OF FRANKFORT, Feb
1s.-The indianapolis relief committee held
conference with the relief committee of Jeffer-
sonville this morning. Captain Howard, warden
of the Southern prison, in reply to the commit
tees proffer to give whatever aid was needed,
stated that the people were in no urgent need of
provisions that could not be supplied by the
towns which daily sending her shipments of
food and that they would ask FOR nothing from
the relief boats stock, flor God knows" Mr..
Howard said there is suffering enough below,
and they will need all they can get Even two
story houses he said are under water in the vii
lagos along the river below, and he believed that
the distribution by the relief committee would be
better than by the government boats, because it
is more careful in the detail work. '"rhere is
much more for you to do below than here Mr..
Howard repeated. you will find suffering all
along the Ohio river"
In Jacksonville, he stated, there are from
II, 900 to IA, 900 people whose homes are sub
merged. and there are not a dozen two-story
buildings in the city that have not been flooded.
There are not twelve famihes in Jacksonville,
he states, that can live without pursuing bust
ness every day. and now there is not a wheel
moving in the manufactures of the place. The
prison is the only place where any employment
can be given As the supply of
meat has been exhausted 10000 pounds.

given a ride through the streets of the city in

DR.. L. D. Waterman, A. A. Barnes

After got to the Capitol saw Mr. Melon
aid on the floor of the Senate. He first went
into the smoking room with Senator Butler and
others, but soon afterward emerged, and, with
Senator Voorhees, at his side took chair in the
front row of the Senate. His head is almost
perfectly bald, and on the sides above the ears
what hair remains is combed upward, as if TO
make the best showing possible. He has long
face the features and profile pretty good, and
each feature Of sufficient length to show that
the face was not compounded in a hurry. The
face is benignant and Pickwiekian, looking
little as if it might be deceived, and more as if
it might deceive somebody else. There are no
covetous, harsh or saddened lines in it. A good
deal remains of the face of the saddler who
learned his trade and from that stepped into
law. AT the same time there is nothing very
elevated or noble about Mr. McDonalds coun-
tenance; he looks like vote-getter. There is
receptiyeness a pliability, and almost ostenta-
tious smile around his countenanee, which indi-

above and below the city relieving the distressed
wherever found, and provisioning those who still
remain in their houses. This is the use
to which the greater part of the large
relief fund raised here is being put, and is
wise use. The boats are supplied with all needed
articles and are under charge of competent
committees Each boat has physicians and
medicines on board, and in several cases the wis

There is no distress in Evansville,
of course, because the city is high and dry

A New Spanish Tenor Who Has Enchante d
the Parisians.

PARIS, Feb 1S.-Senor Gayarre, who made
his debut on Saturday night in the character of
Genarro in 'Lucrezia Borgia," is a native of
Spanish Navarro, the son of a blacksmith and
rehearsed his first anvil chorus at his fathers
forge From the blacksmith's shop he went to
the village of Cherr, thence to an italian school,
and thence to the stage. He is now thirty
five years of age and in addition to a
superb voice, possesses dramatic powers of
uncommon order. Parisians had to go through
new training before yielding to the ench antnlent
of Gayarre's notes, but at the end of the second
act the audience was led captive, and in the
solo, 'Anch 10 Prova" he was crowned.
Madame de Cepeda, also native of Spain, made
her debut as Lucreza, and produced most ia
vorable impression. She has a highly trained
soprano voice, great tragic power and stage pres
ence well fitted to the role.

General SicEIes Declares for Logan.
=,

Interview in Washington Capital.
My sympathies are with the Democratic party
but of all the names mentioned as Republican
candidates, should the convention at Chicago
nominate General Logan 1 shall feel compelled
to support him, and for this reason: Logan, per
haps to a greater degree than any other person
in civil life, embodes the successful soldier and
public man. He is also the choice of the most
conspicuous volunteer commanders, and is also
Endorsed by the great captains of the regular
army such as Grant, Sherman and Sheridan |
believe if the Republicans nominate him he will
carry the soldier vote to man, irrespective of
party lines. His record as a soldier is not infe-
rior to any one, and in public or private life the
charge has yet to be made affecting his integrity
in the most remote degree. After nearly twenty
years public service since the war no one has
ever shown that he has used his place and infli-
ence for the acquisition of wealth. which cannot
be said of all public men, and, as 1 understand,
he is as poor man to-day as he was when he
entered public life. | believe the General has
always been on the right side of questions affect
ing the interests of the nation and the people. L
express my opinion about General Logan with
out any intention to reflect upon any of the other
candidates

The shutting down of the n.y.
draulic mines is leading to the de-
velopment of the agricultural and
horticultural possibilities of the
mountains. The necessities Of the
case have put the mining sections
to their stumps, and they appear
to have been inspired with a new
vigor. Already they are emulat-
ing the example Of the Cow
counties" by inviting immigra-
ton, and the meeting of the immi-
grafton society of Placer county is
to be held at Auburn on the 3rd
proximo. The mountain counties
have many inducements to offer to
newcomers, and if they are prop
erly set forth it is possible that
the effect will be such that the
destruction Of one industry may
result in the establishment Of a
large number of others, which will
prove far more profitable.

THEY GOT THE cream


The Reveille says: All the fair.
est portions of Nevada are sci
aside for Indian reservations. Aside
from Pyramid there are three other
reservations that one at Walker
Lake embracing the only respecta-
BILE land in that section. Yet bad
as this would seem the Indians do
not live on the choice lands but are
lounging about the towns, cumming
and begging clothes, while the In
dian agents are drawing rations for
them. All this is wrong. If the
whites Of Nevada are forced to
support the Indians they ought to
have the privilege of using the
Ind an land. Mr.. Wood-
burn will do well to get those res
ervations either entirely abolished
or at least have only one in the
State, which will be ample for all
requirements. This matter should
be agitated by the press.
