THE OHIO RISING RAPIDLY.
Fears that the River VIII Soon DO Above
the Danger Line.

Fears that the River VIII Soon DO Above
the Danger Line.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 1.-The river is rap
idly rising at all points above Cincinnati,
and flood seems certain.
The snow and continued rain have
caused the waters to climb up the banks
in a remarkably short space of time, so
that now the prediction is made by river
prophets that the Ohio will swell beyond
the danger line.
The river is rising at the rate of four
inches an hour, and the condition of af-
fairs above the city indicates that the
rise will be continuous.
The danger line is placed at SO feet,
although at 90 feet much damage is usu-
ally sustained.
The water is now A feet high at this
city.
Two piers Of the railroad bridge at New
Comerstown have been washed away, and
the bridge is left clihging to one of the
remaining abutments.
On the main line of the Fort Wayne
the tracks are inundated at several points
and the branches are badly knocked out
by the high water.
The Erie, Youngstown, s. Ashtabula
is submerged by four feet of water al
Warren, Ohio, and at Nashville, Ohio,
ON the same road, twenty-five inches OF
water cover the tracks, with the river
still rising,

AFFAIRS At The CAPITAL
Secretary Foster and the Re-
ported Issue of New Bonds.
MESSAGE FAvoRING ANNEXATION.

President Harrison to Send His Views on
the Hawaiian Question to Congress
Judge Gresham Reported to Have Ac-
cepted tho Portfolio of State in the
New Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE statement
published here and also telegraphed to
New York that Secretary Charles Fos-
ter is now issuing bonds or certificates to
be converted into bonds, in order to re-
plenish the stock of gold in the Treasury
under the provisions of section 5, of the
Resumption act, and that over fifty mill
lions are to be issued, " was emphatically
denied by Mr. Foster before leaving for
New York.
The statement went on to say that
''it is the purpose of the Department to
have bonds issued and the gold in their
possession before public announcement
of the issue is made, and therefore, Sec
rotary Foster will not give out the facts.
THE statement that gold is being Sc
cured by an exchange with the banks of
greenbacks for gold discloses only one
feature of the transaction and aids in the
rest until such time when it is consid-
cred by the Treasury Department to be
wise from a business point of view to dis
close the whole plan.
1.-The greenbacks that are in the hands
of the Government or coming in from
time to time do not amount to what Is
regarded as sufficient for the present
emergency, and the exchange is but a
temporary eXpedient.n "S|AMas
Respecting the position of President
Harrison upon the question of an issue of
bonds to meet the much discussed but
not dangerous ''gold panic" it can be
stated on authority that from the day he
entered the White House until now he
has been opposed to any increase of the
bond issue. He would, of course, prefer
an issue of bonds to q financial dis
aster, but he has no fear Of such con-
tingency.
When there was Q panic Threatened
two or three years ago-probably with q
view to forcing an issue of bonds in the
interest of speculators-the President
stated most emphatically that he wanted
his record clean on that subject; that
| there must be no bonds issued except as q
last resort to save the commercial inter
ests of the country. No panic resulted,
and none is feared now.

Mr.. cLEvELAND's cAelNET.=


Gresham Said to Have Accepted-Four
Other "Sure" Appointments.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lit is stated as
a settled fact that Walter Q. Gresham is
to be Mr.. Cleveland's Secretary of State.
Prominent Democrats here state that the
Judge has accepted the Premiership.
The appointment of Judge Gresham
makes the fifth Cabinet place filled.
Mr.. Carlisle is the authority for the
statement that Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
will go into the Cabinet and that Mr..
Cleveland has formally rendered him the
place. The position now named for him
is that of Secretary of the Interior.
The places filled are:
Walter .. Gresham, State.
John G. Carlisle, Treasury.
Daniel S. Lamont, War.
w. S. Bissell, Attorney General or Post
Office.
Hoke Smith, Interior.
The uncertainty in regard to Mr.. Bis
sells portfolio is that Mr.. Cleveland still
inclines to giving his law portfolio TO the
South and is thinking of William L.
Wilson, of West Virginia, for Attorney
General.
When the Cabinet is made there may
be some shifting of places, but not of
men. The five men named have accepted
portfolios.

AFTER THE ECONOMIES.
The State of PennsyIvaniA to Bring 81
Against the Society.

Against the Society.
PlTTsBURG, Feb. 1.-THE Common
wealth of Pennsylvania has entered the
legal battle for the possession of the i'm
mense wealth of the Economic Society.
The matter is now in the hands of
States Attorney General Hensel, and is
talent of the Allegheny and Beaver
county bars.
The proceedings will be instituted at
once, and will be far-reaching in their re-
suits.
II successful, the suit will involve the
absolute surrender of all the property Of
the Economic Society, and its conflsca-
tion by the State. It will be a proceed
ing in escheat, based on established
precedent of eminent legal authority,
and an act of Assembly forbidding the
conduct of societies whose principles are
at variance with public custom and
against the spirit Of the Constitution.
The archives have been searched, and It
is claimed sufficient authority has been
obtained to disrupt the celibate commu-
nifty and turn its goods and chattels into
the State Treasury. The Act of Assem-
bly,, making it unlawful for churches
and religious sects to hold property in ex-
cess of a specified amount will also be
brought into the case and used as one of
the strong points on the plaintiffs side Of
the case.
The proceedings have no connection
with the suit filed in the Beaver county
courts by the Fechts and other Econo-
mites, asking for a receiver to wind VI
the affairs of the organization. On the
contrary the two BATTLES will be fought
on different lines, the issues being con-
trary, as the success of the States case
would necessarily mean the failure o.
the prosecution on behalf of the malcon
tents of the society.

GETTING OFF THE STREET CAR
A Reason Assigned for the Woman's
Habit of Stepping the Wrong Way.

A Reason Assigned for the Woman's
Habit of stepping the Wrong Way.
Many women descend from n horse
car in exactly the wrong way, says the
New York Sun. that is, they grasp
tie handrail of the platform and face
away from the horses as they step off,
instead OF grasping the handrail at
tachcd to the body of the car and fac
ing to the front, rs one should do. A
conductor who runs n car upon what
may be called a trunk line, that is, a
line running north and south upon one
of the busiest avenues, says that he OBJ
serves no substantial change or i'm
provemcnt in women in this respect,
Notwithstanding the fact that more or
less has been printed on the subject
He mentioned as an illustration a
young woman who had ridden upon his
car for n number ofyears. Her occupa-
ton is one requiring especial intclli-
gence, but she gets off Il horse car now
just as she did at first.
The conductor, however, ascribed
this habit on the part of women, not to
any perverseness, nor even to thought
lessness, but to very simple original
cause. The driver of the armust not,
Wuen he Stops, permit IIlc IchE pldI-
form to obstruct the crossing; he is
more likely to run past it a little than
he is to halt upon it or even upon the
edge of it. The conductor said that
when the car did stop with the plat
form over the crossing, q woman would
perhaps step straight off, not turning
in either direction; but that when, as
more frequently happened, the plat
form was just beyond the crossing, the
woman would grasp the platform rail
and step facing away from the horses,
so that she might take the fcwest
possible steps upon the rougher, and
perhaps dirtier, street pavement, and
reach as quickly as possible the
smoother. dryer and cleaner crosswalk

IN FAVOR OF ANNEXATION.

The President VIII Soon Send u Message
to Congress Regarding Hawaii.
WASHINGTON, Feb 11.-President Har-
rison, it is stated, will send a special
message to Congress at an early day,
recommending the immediate passage of
an act anncXing Hawaii to the United
States.
To-day the President will receive the
commissioners for the first time at the
White House. This is in substance the
result of the Cabinet discussion of the
subject.
The Cabinet officers were with the
President for about an hour, and after
they had separated State Secretary Foster
had another long conference with the
Hawaiian commissioners.
There was the utmost reticence among
the latter after the conference. Some of
the commissioners stated, however, that
the most important business since the
delegation had arrived had been trans
acted, and that it's report would probably
be made public to day.
The meeting of the Cabinet was de-
voted in part to a discussion of Minister
Stevens latest action in raising the
American flag over Hawaii.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 11.-Paul Neu-
mann denies tho published statement that
ex- Queen Liliuokalina will relinquish all
claim on the abrogated monarchy Of
Hawaii for a valuable consideration from
the United States.
Mr.. Neumann says that he merely
comes to the United States with full
power to act for the ex-Queen in present.
ing her case at Washington and nothing
more.
Mr.. Neumann accompanied by Prince
David, leaves for Washington this after
noon at 8 o'clock.
E G. McParlane, ex-Cabinet Minister
of Hawaii, who arrived on the steamer
Australia, says in an interview:
"Unquestionably the people of Hawaii
would prefer annexation to this Provis-
ional Government. That is the over
whelming sentiment there. I am in
hopes, however, that the question will be
adjusted speedily and amicably, as we
want a stable government as soon as pos
sible.
t'At first majority of the people
thought annexation was the most de-
sirable way to settle the revolution, but
should annexation do away with, or even
partially do away with the contract
labor, the result would be practically
death to the sugar industry and several
other, important industries of the is
lands.
"The native Hawaiians are now uni
in favor of the Americans as against AM
other nationality, though the sentiment
was overwhelmingly English less thar
eight years ago."

BLUE-EYED INDIANS.
Supposed to BE Descended from Wrecked
Swedish Sailors.


Swedish Sailors.
The Mayas, inhabiting the Sierra
Madre mountains in the lower part of
Sonora, are supposed to be the de-
scendants of the crew and passengers
of n Swedish vessel wrecked on the
Mexican coast long centuries before the
birth of Columbus. They have, accord
ing to the st. Louis GlobeDemocrat, n
tradition that their ancestors came In
great canoe over the big salt water
many hundreds of moons ago." They
have never been conquered by the Mex
leans.
They are nominally under Mexican
rule, but are in reality governed by
their own chiefs. Whenever the Mex
lean government interfercs with them
they take up arms and they have got
the best of every scrimmage thus far.
The Yaquis arc their neighbors and
these two war-lilSc tribes have reciproc7
ity reduced to science. Whenever the
government interferes with the Yaquis
the Mayas come to their assistance and
vice versa Mexican troops cannot
stand before Mayas or white Indians.
They are the most desperate fighters on
the North American continent. Like
their neighbors, tho Yaquis, they are
mostly Catholics. Although quite prim.
| tive, almost savage, in their mode OF
| life, the standard of morality is high,
They live principally by the chase, but
| cultivate some corn and garden truck in
| the valleys. The men are large, we'll
formed and some of the women remark
ably handsome blondes. They all re
| tain traces of their Swedish ancestry
and the hnguists say that their Ian
guage evidences North European an

FLOOD IN TRENTON.
ISs jam at Perriwig Causes Part of the
City TO be Submerged.

ISs jam at Perriwig Causes Part of the
City TO be Submerged.
TRENTON, Feb. 1.-THE ice which has
closed the Delaware river for six weeks
broke at Lambertville, 16 miles above
here, yesterday afternoon, and at once
started on n rush down stream.
Opposite Trenton the ice cut a channel
and passed out smoothly, but at Perriwig
bar, two miles below the city, the sailing
ice formed jam, and the back water re-
sulting therefrom flooded portions of this
city.
There is every Indication of food
severer than that of 1882, when several
parts of the city were submerged, and
much damage was done.
Fair street, which is on the river front
in South Trenton, is under water, and
people are padding about the street in
boats.
The flood has been anticipated for
weeks, and such preparations have been
made for its occurrence that the damage
to property will be kept down.
The worst catastrophe that has over
| taken the city within recent years oc-
| CURED last night when the water invaded
/ the pumping station of the waterworks,
put out the fires and stopped all work.
There is but a limited supply in the res
| ervoirs and unless the water recedes soon
the city will be greatly in need of a water
| supply.
a large water wheel was erected to
provide for emergencies, but this is use
| less now, as the high water prevents its
use. The authorities have sent out a
| general alarm asking the people to make
IA sparing use of water, as the supply
/ is 50 limited.
The Raritan Over Its Banks.
| The ice in the Milestone river broke
/ yesterday and was carried into the Rari-
| tan river. This, with the heavy floods
| caused the ice gorge at the landing
| bridge above New Brunswick to give way.
The immense quantities of ice then
| rushed toward New Brunswick and tore
