float carnival colors; the city is bright
with sunshine and merry with music
and vast army of miscellaneous mask
ers. AZ noon the procession of Rex ap-
peared upon the streets. The subject
chosen for the pageant, Fantasies, al
lowed more scope for the display of the
art of the painter and costumer in a
spectacle which could not have the aid
of calcium light and torches, and the
result was gorgeous sight.
The first boat bore Boeuf Gras. The
second bore fanciful design illustrating
the subject of the display. Another
float depicted the king Of the carnival
upon his throne. Then came Cloud
land; the Gambols of the Deep
Pastimes in Hades; Starland; the
Realm OF Riches; Water Nvmphs; the
Court of the Fairies; Sunland, the
Home Of Brightness; Silver Sprays, the
Abode of the Sprites; Dancing Elves on
Waves of JOY; Sports of Fairies Hours

nival, Miss Ella Sinnott, and her maids
of honor viewed the parade from the

THE HoMn RULE BILL.

Interviews Concerning the Measures
William 0'Brien's Opinions.
LONDON, Feb. 14.-William O'Brien,
member of parliament for Cork city, said
this morning in an interview regarding
the home rule bill ''It seems to me the
main principles Of the bill provide for
better settlement of the home rule ques-
ton than that of 1886. Our chief res
ervaton is on the financial proposals.
1t remains to be seen whether Glad
etone's surplus of half million pounds
is real. Sexton, Dillon, Blake and others
of our friends fear the full extent of the
Irish local charges has not been taken
into account. The proposed contribu-
ton for the support of the police will
involve formidable drain for
the first few years. Irishmen will
held their opinions on such matters at
present and do the threshing out when
the figures are fully examined and un-
derstood. Nevertheless, the main lines
of the bill are noble and sufficient set
tlement Of the national claims. We are
able heartily to recommend Irish ac-
ceptance of the measure. 1t gives us
substantial control of our domestic af-
fairs. We should not be justified in
reeenting the provisions giving the mi-
nority adequate representation, and
providing for a veto by the crown and
the supremacy of the imperial parlia-

New YORK, Feb. IA dispatch to

is great deal of excitement in Santiago
and Valparaiso over tho report that
United States Minister Patrick Egan
will be appointed one of the arbitrators
on the part OF the United States to
settle the claims of citizens of the

to any position in connection
with the settlement of these claims,
which have been long pending and
which were rejected On several occa-

The River Has Reached 52 Feet and Is
Still Rising.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 14.-The flood in the
river is becoming matter OF concern to
the people in the lower part Of Cincin-
natl. The water at O'Clock reached 81
feet II inches, and was rising at the
rate of two and one-half inches an hour.
About half past twelve wharf
boat anchored at the foot of Main street
sprang a leak and sank in about an
hour. 1t is thought all can be saved.
The water has entered the cellars on
Water street. The tenants of Rat row
and Sausage row arcs seeking higher
quarters. The merchants in the lower
part OF the city are taking precautions to
guard against damage, but the flood has
reached the dangerous stage, and if it
continues to rise the damage will be
much more serious than it has been up
to the present time. The rain, it seems,
however, is not general, and up river
points report no rise, go the chance for
a big flood is not very great.

isthmus is nearly completed. The road
was started in 1861, but for the last 10

The service, which consisted Of pray.
ing, singing, reading OF the Bible aud
exhortation, was listened to by many.
The congregation. however, stood fol
the most part on the opposite side oil
the street. and was composed largely
OF the kind that prayer and exhorta'
ton has but little effect on.
While the meeting was at Its height
one OF the women who stood around the
evangelist fell upon her knees and be-
gan to pray earnestly for the redemp
| ton OF lost souls. While In the midsl
OF her prayer several young hoodlum.
and some older ones. too. who SHOULD
have known better, tried their utmost
to disturb her by crying out AmenF

however, had no effect whatever upor
