The River Rising Four Inches an
Hour at Cincinnati.

Hour at Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, O., May 2.-The rainy
and cold weather which for three weeks
has wholly stopped all plowing and
planting in Ohio is eliminating in a
disastrous flood. Here over two inches
of rain has fallen within "a hours, and
the Ohio river is leaping up at the rate
of four inches an hour.
Dispatches from Wapakonetasa say that
the whole of the northwestern part of
Ohio is flooded and wheat ruined, while
other crops are so delayed that the yield
must be small. Dayton reports the
Miami river and tributaries at flood
height and rising two inches an hour
Nearly an inch and half of rain fell at
the head waters of the Sciolo river and
will add to the swollen stream. Zanes-
vile reports the railroad tracks sub
merged and the Muskegon river is ris.

dI 5pFIHSHeIuI u
SPRINGFIELD, O., May 2.-The awful
possibility of score of lives being lost
in flood, which covers 200 houses in
the southwestern part of the city, is
causing great excitement here. The
river rose during the evening with in
credible rapidity and before people
knew it they were hemmed in by the
waters. The police force and citizens
are rescuing the people in boats and on
horses. The electric street car power
house is flooded and traffic is stopped.

number of persons who met death in
Tuesday nights storm now reaches 90,

large house, barns and outer buildings
are completely gone and the farm is
stripped of every vestage of fence, crops

ST. LOUIS, May 1.-Another foot Of
rise in the river and more flooded vii
lagos on the East side; collapsed ware
house, which resulted in one death, and
prospect for repetition of year ago.
All this tells the story of the high water
here. The river at 6 o'clock p. m.
showed rise of n fraction of an inch
over foot during the day and the
water is still creeping up on the gauge.
There is every probability that by night
the danger mark,/3 80 feet, viii be
reached. Up to o'clock p. IN. the
water had caused the abandonment Of
the greater portion of East Corondalet.
The telegraph office of the st. Louis
connecting railway was wrecked during
the morning, and several small build
ings were washed away. The body of
man was washed ashore near the site
of the wrecked telegraph Office. Many
persons who have been living in the
second story of their houses have been
forced to move out altogether
And Several Had Narrow Escapes,
barely escaping before their residences
collapsed or foated away. Another
foot of water will cause the abandon
ment of the roundhouse at the crossing:
of the connecting road and the Mobile
and Ohio. In East Louis and the water
in Canokia creek is within three feet
Of last years flood level. Last years
experience, however, has caused pro-
tecting walls to be thrown up, and the
damage of that time will not be repeated
unless the high water mark of 1892 is
exceeded. At BelleviIle Richland creek
has overfowed its banks and filled
many easements. Several manufacture
ing establishments have been forced
to shut down, their boiler rooms being
inundated.
On this side of the river North st. Louis
is so far the worst sufferer. The Knapp
Stout Lumber company's yard is in
imminent danger of being washed
away. The low lands are flooded and
the squatterS have been forced to vacate
their shanties and grounded fiatboats
All, or nearly all, their rev poSSeSSlonF
have been washed away.
Warehouse ColIapses.
Trainmen coming in from the East
say the water practically covers all Of
Brooklyn and that numbers Of people
are moving out of their houses. Venice,
too, seems again to suffer, as the flood
is encroaching rapidly upon that place.
The East ST. Louis dock warehouse,
south of the Eads bridge,
gave way before the rush of water
about noon, and fully one-fourth of the
vast building, with the heavy contents,
fell in heap, the roof sinking and set
tling upon the wreck. Thousands of
barrels of flour, sacks of grain, boxes Of
canned goods, bundles of shingles of
both cypress and pine and miscel-
laneous lot of other goods were precipi- |
tated through the ground floor and into
the water. One of the laborers, Cicero |
Pate, a colored man, was crushed to
death under the debris, and has not |
yet been found. Two other laborers
were injured The loss to the building |
and stock of goods will be quite heavy.

NORDHOFF CALLED TO AC-
COUNT.
His Rash Statements and False Deduc-
tons Contradicted by the Facts.

tons Contradicted by the Facts.
The following communication is
given prominence on the editorial page
of the New York SIM of May 24th:
To the Editor of the Sm-SIR:
Charles NordhoH arrived in Honolulu
on the 9TH Of April, after an absence of
twenty years. On the Sth he wrote to
the New York Herald a letter, in
which he tried to pass judgment on the
whole Hawaiian question. DeduCting
what time he spent in bed and at the
table, he had from twelve to fourteen
hours in which to cover the ground of
Hawaiian politics. | cannot learn that,
n this time, he talked with any one
except eX-members Of the Queens
Ministry; though he made passing
remark to newspaper man, within
three hours after he landed, to the
effect that the Annexationists were
undoubtedly in the wrong. That
is the idea he started this way with
from the coast, and he evidently meant
to make it good, even if he had tc
write with his eyes shut, his ears closed
and his conscience Chloroformed.
Mr. Nordhof told the Herald that
the native population was Unanimously
and strongly opposed to annexation
Had he taken pains to go over the
membership rolls of the Annexation
Club he would have found the names
of over 1900 adult male natives; a
number which, | may say, would have
been even greater but for the Kanaka'r
fear that the eXQueen might have
grounds for her faith in restoration.
MIR. Nordhoff also declares that the
Annexation party is composed Of "I92S
] Americans, men, women aud children, u

and that the opposing body of natives,
implying that all are of proper age,
numbers 10000. How far this is from
the truth may be seen by a review, OF
commonplace statistics, which the
Heydld correspondent might have had
for the asking.
On the rolls of the Annexation Club
are between 5000 and 6ooo names,
about 1000 of whom represent the
adult voting part of a white population
of 100000 do not give precise mem
bership figures, because every Inter
Island steamer that arrives at Honolulu
brings additions to the list. There is
not on the Annexation rolls the name
of a single female or minor.
As to to the male native population,
it numbers, according t. the last cen
sus, including boys Of all ages, just
rs, 564, not onethird f which SO far
appears on the rolls Of the Royalist
League.
How does this contrast with Mr.
Nordhon's statement that there are
1923 Americans on one side and
40 900 natives On the other2
The HeydldS correspondent says
further that the revolution of January
18TH was the result of a sugar con
spiraCy; but even as he wrote, the
Sugar King himself Claus Spreckels,
was about the Streets Of Honolulu max
ing the air blue with his abuse of the
| AnneXationist movement Mr.. SpreCk-
els said that annexation would ruin the
plantations by depriving them of con.
tract and Chinese labor. The same
thing was urged by the planters at the
mass meeting which preceded the over
throw of the monarchy, and it was
against their advice that the assault was
made on the throne. Some of them
finally came out for annexation, being
persuaded that the monarchy meant
unstable government and recurring re.
volts, and that the United States would
in the end, make concessions to Ha.
waits labor needs; but others, includ.
ing the richest planter of them all, still
remain alouf If they can't have roy
atty again they want a republic which
they may control; that is, a planter;
ollgarchy.
Is it not remarkable that the sugar
, men, if they want, the Mckinley
bounty badly enough to fight for it
+ delayed all their efforts until after
Presidential election had been had If
the United States, the result of which
decided that the Mckinley bill mus
go?
Mr.. Nordhuf' afirms that the Pro
t visional Government is slowly losing
adherents. The rolls of the Annexa
ton Club prove that since April Ist
when the Amer can flag came down
, the membership Of that body has in
creased eighty five per cent
1t will be misfortune to both Ha
wall and the United States if the Pres
ident and Cabinet have, as the HeydlG
claims, allowed themselves to be in
i huenCed in the slightest degree by Mr.
t Nordhoh's rash statements and false
deductions. WALTER G.. SMITH,

THE FEELING IN AMERICA.

The Annexation resolutions passed
by the San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce, like those which the Massachu-
sets General Assembly promulgated
not long since serve to show that Amer
lean seabord sentiment is generally
sound on the Hawaiian question. 1t is
recognized on both the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts that Hawaii is necessary
to the strategic and commercial policy
OF the United States and so strong is
this belief and sentiment that opposing
newspapers have not been able to make
Roadway against it. This is noticeably
true in California where two of the
leading journals, not long ago, began
to back water on the Annexation Ques-
ton. Before they had retreated far
public opinion, taking the form of a
gale Of protest, drove them back into
the proper course, where, except for oc
casional lacking for points, they are shap
ing straight voyage. The action of the
Chamber of Commerce will do much
to keep their rudders true.
Sentiment in New York, Ohio and
Illinois is acceptable, judging from the
tone of the papers of widest influence
