Steady Rains Cause the Rivers of
 Queensland to Rise.
 MELBOURNE, Feb. 10,-Steady rain for several days has caused the rivers of Queensland to rise rapidly and to threaten a repetition of the floods.
 Gales have accompanied the rainfall, so that between wind and water most of the railways and telegraph lines have been rendered temporarily useless. Ipswich, Brisbane and several smaller towns are partly under water. In Brisbane the water is but ten inches below the highest mark during the last flood and ten or twelve lives have been lost.
 The three vessels left stranded in the Botanical garden of this city during the flood have been got back to the river. In northern New South Wales the floods have done enormous damage to crops.

Cardinal Gibbons Delivers an Elo-
 quent Sermon.
 BALTIMORE, Feb. 19 Cardinal Gibbons, all the priests attached to the cathedral, Rev. Dr. Magnier and sll the Sulpicisn fa- thers and seminarians in tho Seminary of St. Mary of St. Sulpice, with an immense congregation. united to- day in the cathed- ral in the service of high mass in celebra ton of Pope Leo's elevation to the episco- pate fifty years ago. Cardinal Gibbons preached the sermon. His theme was the supremacy of the pope. Among other things he said:
 "rhe name of the pops Is indelibly marked on every page of ecclesiastical his tory. The sovereign pontiff ever stands before us as commander In chief in the grand army of the church. You might as | of heaven from your daily walk as to ex- clude the pope from his legitimate sphere | in the hierarchy of the church. The Ru- premaoy of the pope has been denied by men who chsfed under the salutsry discipline of the church. But David did not ceaee to be king after Absalom sought to de- throne him. A yearning has gone forth from many noble and earnest hearts. There can be only one secure basis for this union-the recognition of the pope and successors as the center of his continual authority. May the day come when we shall all worship at the same altar,
 "Let us pray for the illustrious pontiff Leo XIII, who has left the impress of hie character upon almost every nation of the civilized world, who sympathizes with the | people, who loves America and cherishee her civil and political institutions"
