EEAREuL DEVASTATION
Caused by tho Floods In spain-Grent
Suffering Among the People.

Caused by tho Floods In Spain-Grent
Suffering Among the People.
MADRID, Nov. ll.-Iti is now becoming
possible 10 witness to some extent the
great devastation that has been caused
by the tremendous floods which have
swept over SO many parts OF Spain dur
ing TIE past month or so. beginning
with the terrible disaster at Consucgra,
when that placcwas practically swept
from the face OF the earth and where
the loss oil lie amounted up into the
thousands, the country has been SUBJ
jected 10 . series OF floods which are
without parallel in the history of Spain.
1t is believed that the total loss OF life
will never be accurately known, butit
is to be hoped that the country will
never again be visited by such series
OF disasters as have marked the year
1891.
From many places the joyful intelli-
eence is tclcsraphed that the waters
are subsiding and that the rivers are
seeking their natural channels. But
the scenes in the country visited by the
hObAo NiS IIC IlciNS llltJ
before the inundation smiled with the
promise OF abundant harycsts arc now
bleak and desolatc Many farms lying
on the lower ground are covered with
broken trees, matted branches, stones
and rubbish OF every description do
posted there by the rcceding waters.
Azsccnc OF the greatest devastations
presents itself in the valley OF the Jucas
river. This river rises in the Sierra
Alblerracin, and flows into the AIedlt-
terranean at Cullcra. 1t is about 200
miles long. Along the banks tho land
is fertile, and large sections OF the coun-
try in its vicinity were devoted TO the
cultivation OF oranges. To-day tho we'll
titled groves and iertileiarms arewreclz-
ed. Tho inhabitants otthe valley, hav-
ing been deprived OF their usual means
OF subsistence, are plunged into tho
most dire distress. There is great SUI
fering, more especially amongthe lower
classes, and tits evident that unless
something is done to relieve them there
will be numerous deaths from famine
and exposure.

LONDON, Nov. ll.-Ncws from Brazil

those who are watching the progress OF

&rs. Parncu and lrr. Harrison Charged
With Conspiracy.
DUBLIN, Nov. ll.-The National Press,
the organ Of the AicCarthyitc faction Of
the Irish parliamentary party, to-day
publishes an article relative to the
Paris fund, OF which the late Mr.. Par
nell was one OF the trustees. When
Mr.. Parncll died, his wife, rs one of his
heirs, became empowered to act in con-
ncction with the fund, and one OF her
Iirst moves was TO instruct the bankers
in Paris to retain possession OF the
money. The National Press looks with
much bitterness upon the course pur-
sued in relation to this money, which
was originally intended 10 be devoted
to the relief OF tenants ovicted under
the plan OF campaign, and charges that
the Withholding of the fund is the re-
suit OF IN understanding between Mr..
Henry Harrison, member OF the house
oi commons for the middle division OF
Tipperary, who was one OF Mr.. Par
nell's most ardent and devoted support
crs, and Mrs Parncll, the widow OF the
late Irish leader. In concluding its ar
ticle, the paper says:
"The conspiracy between Mr. Harri-
son, who drafted the plan OF campaign.
and Mrs. O'Shea to keep food from the
evictcd tenants, is the most shameful
incident in our history"

How tho Now american Tariff Affects
IValcs.
LONDON, Nov. 11.-Tho tin plate in
dustry in Swansea, Wales, has become
so depressed, and the demand ior steel
has been SO seriously lczscncG, that it
is reported the masters in that place
have decided TO close their works when
the existing contracts have been exc
cuted.
The outward trade from the London
docks to New York Mt the present time
is in great contrast 10 the trade which
was being carried on between the two
ports ut tho same period last yodr.
Whereas the vessels formerly sailed
from here with full Cargos, they now
leave this port Tor New Gorl, with their
holds half empty.
This decrease i'll carrying trade is
attributed to the effect which the
American taeiIr eyerts i'll this country.
as consequence OF the decrease it is
announced that at the end OF the pres.
cnt seasons service between England
and Montreal, the steamers controlled
by the Allan Line instead OF being
placed on the route IRON London to
New York, will be transferred to new
route, which will include London, New
Orleans and ports in the Mediterranean.

New York, Nov. ll.-Uncertainty rs
to the Legislature continues. Both par
ties assert their claims loudly as ever.
The country canvasscrs did little or
nothing to settle the question. nor will
they do much before the last OF the

News from the several disputed com-
ties show an inclination on both sides
TO raise 4 row; that was only prevented
by n wholesome regard 10: the law,
which is plain and explicit.
The situation is trying 10 both parties,
for each has its all at stake and is tax
ing every chance TO win.

4 majority, and so do the Democrats.
