REsuME OF THE STORM.
From San Diego to Siskiyou and From
the Sierras to the Sea.

From San Diego to siskiyou and From
the Sierras to the Sea.
SAN Francisco, January 25th.-The
raiu-storm last night and to-day was unusu-
ally severe and extended from the northern
to the southern boundary and from the
Sierra Nevada to the coast. The precip-
itation was unusually heavy in Sacra-
mento, Sonoma, Napa, Vaca, Santa Clara
and the San Joaquin valleys.
The weather also became warmer and
the waters were augmented by the melting
of snow in the foothills. The water
courses in many places rose to an IN
precedcnted hight and caused much dam
age in the low lands. Fields and orchards
were flooded, cattle drowned, bridges,
houses and fences carried away, levees
broken, railroads damaged by washouts
and landslides, towns wholly or partly
flooded and business places and dwellings
inundated.
Three lives are reported lost. 1t is be-
lieyed that the worst is yet to come, as
should the warm weather continue the
rapid melting of the enormous bodies of
snow in the foothills and mountains
threaten flood more serious than any
before experienced.
Should the rains continue the acreage
sown to wheat this year will be consider
ably less than that of last year.
Telegraphic and telephone communica-
ton is badly interrupted throughout the
storm section.

Reciprocity with The Dominion Govern
ment Discussed.
WASHINGTON, January 25th.- S. ].
Richie, of Ohio, appeared before the Ways
and Means Committee and argued in favor
of the free importation of Canadian min
eral ores, and in favor of unrestricted re-
ciprocity with the Dominion.
The Chairman (having ascertained that
Mr.. Richie was conveIsant with Canadian
matters) inquired what the sentiment was
in Canada in regard to annexation.
Mr.. Richie replied that any sentiment
could be found in Canada which anybody
wished to fish for. There was considerable
sentiment in favor of reciprocity, and by
taking the proper course the United States
could increase that sentiment.
Mr.. Payne asked as to the feeling towards
the Butterworth reciprocity bill.
Mr.. Richie replied that the opposition in
the Canadian Parliament, mum boring about
one third its membership, had adoped But
terworth's bill as its platform.
In reply to a question by Mr.. Carlisle,
Mr.. Richie stated that American interests
in Canada were very large.
Mr.. Carlisle asked whether Canada would
give the United States free coal if the
United States gave her free iron.
Mr.. Richie replied emphatically in the
affirmative.
Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, of Ohio
addressed the committee in support of his
bill for reciprocity with Canada.

Health and Spirits.

Whatever may be thought to the con-
trary, the standard of health is as liable to
fluctuations as the weather. The barome-
ter is, in a measure, the gauge of the state
Of the weather, but we have no instrument
for estimating even with an approach to
the truth the state of the vitality of any
individual. The customary salutation.
even when replied to in the usual adverb-
ial manner, is certainly no accurate critic
rion Of the state Of the health, since a gen.
eral Paralytle often feels much better than
be has any physiological right to do. And,
in opposite fashion, man who does not
know how he feels, may be in frst-rate

The Washout Near Dixon - Sever
Bridges Wrecked.

DIXON, January 25th.-The storm of the
past two days has been the worst of the
season. All the creeks are running over
the banks and many bridges have been
carried away.

will probably fall great deal before morn
ing. The Stevenson bridge was washed
away last night, and is now lodged with a
large amount of other wreckage on the rail-
road bridge, the embankment of which was
washed out yesterday. Nothing could be
done to-day to repair the break on account
of the high water and rapid current. A
work train with large crew of men went
up tonight, and the break will probably be
filed in by noon tomorrow.
Passenger trains sre running regularly as
