The Mohawk valley Flooded.

UTICA, y. V. February 26.-The Mo
hawk river at o'clock this morning
was mt the highest stage it has been
since March Il, 1865. This forenoon
the water has been receding, and IS now
falling amoSt as rapidly a. it rose last
night. A heavy rain storm in the early
part of last evening was the cause OF the
food. There has been very little dam
age in this city, except that arising
from flooded stores and cellars, though
the railroads were seriously interfered
with. Ice gorgeS are forming and the
lower valleys are being flooded, with
great damage to country towns and
farming communities.

WASHINGTON, February 26.-Ben
Butterworth, Of Ohio. Is. personally,
among the best liked members Of the
House. Though his hair is growing
gray rapidly, he has still a great deal OF
the boy about him, and there is a merry
twinkle in his eye, and an honest ring
10 his voice that wins 10 him all he
meets. He is particularly happy after
dinner speaker, and he can tell story
or sing song that never fails Ito set the
table in roar" At the same time he
is hard worker in Congress, and
whenever he gets up TO make speech
on the floor he is always sure Of an at
tentive audience. He is fearless and
independent aud although he tries hard
10 be consistent party man, and usual
ly votes in accordance with the caucus
programme, he does not hesitate, either in
public or private, to criticiSe the con-
duet Of his party when he thinks IL in
the wrong. This was shown by his Wig
orous speech in opposition to the Ne
| Kinley bill last session and by other
speeches Of less Importance which
he has made. Buttcrworth has from
the first development Of Speaker Reed :
arbitrary policy in dealing with the
Democrats in this Congress been out
spoken in cOndemning it as party mis-
take and as unfair in the abstract.
Now that the session is drawing to n
close, Mr. Reed has suddenly discovered
that not only Mr.. Butterworth but
many other members Of his own party
do not approve OF the hlgh-handed way
in which he has undertaken 10 run
the House. This seems TO have
given Reed some uneaSineSs and
he has been casting about for
men TO make speeches on the floor OF
the House before the session ends, de-
Tending his conduct, and in general
was covering this Congress with orator
ical glory. OF course Reed would have
no trouble in getting any number OF the
small Try of his party 10 make such
speeches. But he knows their utterances
would have no effect. His desire was
to get man OF prominence aud known
independence to indorSe him. snd /
was recognized rs |
the best man for the job II be |
could be induced to undertake the task. |
80 few days ago Overtsres were made
to Butterworth 10 come TO Reeds as
sstance and make speech eulogizing
the Speaker. Butterworth is under
stood to have latly declined, and even
to have broken out into denunciation OF
the Speakers conduct. Since that Mr..
Reeds lieutenantS have been watching
closely. and have on
TWO or three different occasions
attempted to belittle him and east
iiscredit on him. This is believed to
nave been the true inwardneSs Of the
lttack made on Butterworth by Funs-
.on, of Kansas, in the House on Wed ,.
leSday. Funston is one OF Reeds de-
,oted followers, and the motive Of his !
lttack on the Ohio Congressman show
ID unmistakable malice. But Reeds
rends had better be cautious. II
hey go too far, Butterworth will let :
ooSe on Reed, and the chances are hc :
will do 50 anyway before the close Of
