.aInority Reports on the Suffrage
Question.

WAhHlNGTON, F6DTuary zO.-M6mOerS Oh
the committee on judiciary have presented
two reports dissenting from that recently
made by Mr.. Caswell of Wisconsin, In re-
sponse to the inquiry as to what states, If
any, abridged the right of suffrage Of their
citizens by constitutional provision, instanc-
ing Mississippi and Massachusetts as such
states Que, prepared by Mr.. Oates of Ala
bama, disSents in that the constitution of
Mississippi objected to has not yet gone into
effect. The second dissenting report, made
by Mr.. Rogers OF Arkansas, suggests that
the constitutions of many other states than
the two named contain provisions that tend
to conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment,
which shows, he says, that the people are
tiring of the amendment.

Floods In the Mohawk River OBJ
struct the Central udson.

UTICA, N. Y, February 26.-The Mohawk
river at this morning was at its highest
stage since March II, 1865. The water is
now falling almost as rapidly as it rose last
night. A severe rainstorm in the early part
of last evening was the cause of the flood.
The river was already at full banks when the
rain came. The tributaries swept down
great streams and sent the Mohawk boom
ing. Very little damage was done in this
city, except that arising from flooded streets
and cellars The Central-Hudson railroad
was badly crippled in its service today, the
West Shore tracks being used by the Central
between Rotterdam junction and this city.
The trains that are not abandoned are honrs
behind time. Fort Plain Is submerged and
the people there are using boats. There Is
big ice jam just above Palatine bridge and
much damage has been caused by the over
flew.
All along the Mohowk valley. from here to
Schenectady, come reports of ice jams and
oveIh0ws, causing immense damage. The
weather is cool and clear and 1t is thought
that the worst is over: The ice is well broken
up in the river and with the subsidence of
this flood will disappear all fears of further
damage this spring.

SCHENECTADY. N. T., February 26.-Two
ice gorges in the Mohawk river above this
city broke early this morning but reformed
about mile below the city, flooding the
| bower portion thereof. The pumping station
| of the water works is completely submerged
and nearly all manufacturing concerns had
