THE WATERS RECEDINci,
Terrible L Dss in the Wake of Queens
lands Great Flood.

BRISBANE, Feb 9.-The water is falling
slowly. Tie ruin and desolation revealed
as the food abates is beyond anything
caused by the last great food in 1890. The
suburbs Of The city have been almost ami
hilated. South of the river the city is still
submerged. In the higher parts of the
city, from which the water is recediug,
many buildings have collapsed, and most
of the Others are damaged beyond hope of
rep3ir. TheIloss on Queen street, on which
stand the government offices, pOstoftice,
principal banlls newspaper buildings and
the Opera house, has been enormous. The
buildings On the street were two-thirds
submerged, the stocks of all the shops
were ruined, and vast quantities OF waltz
able documents We're rendered illegibie.
The Victoria bridge, ut the northern end
of the street, was swept away, az well as
the railway bridge which connected Bris-
bane with the suburb Undooroopilly. The
provincial towns have suffered as severely
as has Brisbane. Every hour brings fresh
news of villages submerged, houses
wrecked, lives lost and bridges swept
away. The loss of life has been very heavy
but no approximate estimate of the num-
ber drowned is yet possible The gov
ernment is doing its utmost to help the
sufferers from the floods and has sent tor
pedo boats, loaded with food and clothing,
up the river to tho interior towns.

introduced bill to provide for the pro-
visional government of foreign countries
and places acquired by treaty or other
wise. The bill was referred to the COM

yides not only for Hawaii but any similar
condition that may arise in the future.
The full text of the BILL which Is very
short one, is as follows:
hThat whenever the United States shall
acquire dominion over any foreign country
or place, by treaty or annexation, or other
wise, the president of the United States,
with the advice and consent of the senate,
may appoint governor for the same and
Legislative council, to consist of any
number of persons not less than five nor
more than twenty five, whose acts shall be
subject to revision or repeal by congress,
and unless the treaty of annexation or con
cession shal otherwise provide said COVER
ner and council shall constitute and con-
duct all provisional government for such
country or place until congress shall other
wise provide by law"

OTTAWA Ont, Feb. "a member of the
cabinet said that, following up the dismis-
sal from the public service of Gosgroye, of
Toronto, for signing au annexation mani
festu, the government is hunting up evil
dence of treason against large number of
government officials who had declared
themselves annexationists, and who, If the
charges were proved against them, would
share similar fate. A Liberal member OF
parliament said if the government was
going to weed all annexationists out of the
service it would be pretty well decimated
by tho time it got through with the job.
