Ohio River Men Alarmed Over
the Possibilities Of =
. Big Flood. e. s%.s. II
SOME DAMAGE ALREADY DONE.
Coal Barges Being Swept
Away and Much Wreck
"a
age Seen. &.s;I

P1rrsBURa, Jan. S.-River men are
thoroughly alarmed over the probar
bility of big food at this point. The
Monongahela came out with rush
during the morning, and with the
breaking of the ice in the upper pools
the damage to boats began. Immense
coal fleets were threatened with total
destruction. The Allegheny is also
full of ice and is running like a tor
rent. A great amount of wreckage is
coming down, indicating damage ct
points above. River men said that
they expected a stage of 30 feet, with .
prospect of going still higher. In the
great flood of 1884 the Allegheny rose
to 80 feet and great damage was done.
There Was Intense Excitement
along the Monongahela wharves all
day. All the boats in the harbor had
steam up and were doing all they could
to keep out Of the way of the rapidly
rising water. The channel was full OF
ice and snow and the current was very
swift. The docks at McKeesport and
the boats tied up along the river gave
way early and went rushing down the
river.
The report of Is feet at Lock No. 4,
and % feet at Morgantown caused a
general panic among the coal opera
tors, and most of the clerks and en-
ployes were ordered out OF the offices
and stationed along the river at differ
points to look after the safety of the
craft and make reports to the general
Offices.
Fifty Coal Barges Lost.
The heaviest individual loss SO far
reported was that at McKeesport,
wnere so coal barges were carried from
the docks and down the river, entailing
loss of between $35, 900 and $40, 600.
Beaver, Pa, reports that the Golfer
at the government dam just below
Vanport has been swept away, with a
considerable money damage and the
loss OF one life. John McSweeny, a
stonemason. who had gone out on the
dam to get his tools, was caught and
swept away.
Now the danger here seems to be
averted, and coal men are making
preparations to get large quantity OF
coal to Southern ports as soon as the
ice has thinned sufficiently, which will
probably be about Thursday. .... !.

MAY NO Ass,
Fate Of the Currency Bill In
Doubt Despite Caucus
Endorsement. .,
The VOTE STOOD 81 TO SO.
Prominent Leaders Now AS
sert That the Measure
Is Doomed,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8-By q vote Of
81 to SO the Democratic house caucus
voted to endorse the Carlisle substitute
currency bill now before the house.
Speaker Crisp took the lead in present.
ing the resolution, and in vigorously
urging the necessity for it's adoption.
The committee on rules was instructed
to bring in rule to close debate. Ef-
forts to amend Mr.. Crisp's resolution
were voted down, one Of the adverse
votes showing only - members Of the
caucus favorable to an issue of bonds
to retire the greenbacks.
The result of the caucus is accepted
with considerable apprehension by
friends of the bill, Notwithstanding the
passage of the resolution of endorse
ment. The III votes which the meas
ure commanded in caucus is far short
of the number necessary to pass it in
the house. It is the belief, however,
that many Of the 81 votes
Recorded gainst tho Resolution
will be changed now that the Carlisle
bill has the prestige of the caucus en-
'dorssment. But there were several
prominent leaders who asserted at the
close of the caucus that the vote showed
conclusively that the bill could not
pass.
The caucus was called together at 2
O'Clock with Mr.. Holman in the chair.
All of the party leaders Of the house,
including Speaker Crisp and Messrs.
Catchings, Outhwaite, Springer, Will
son, Tracey and Bland and the Demo.
cratic members of the banking and
currency committee were on hand.
There were l52 members present. Mr..
Cochran of New York stated early in
the day that if the caucus was to be
binding he would not enter it, and
it was understood that others
would pursue the same course. AS as
surances were given them that the
caucus would be advisory rather than
binding, MIR. Cochran and his associ-
ates concluded to attend.
The Resolution Adopted.
The issue of the caucus was sharply
presented by the following resolution,
prepared by MIR. Springer and intro
duced by Speaker Crisp:
Resolved, That it isathe sense Of this
caucus that the Carlisle currency bill
should be passed by the house Of rep
resentatives substantially as presented
in the substitute which has been
printed in the record and which will be
offered at the proper time by the chair
man of the committee on banking and
currency, and that the committee on
rules be requested to report an order
which shall provide for it's considera-
ton for one more day for general de-
bate and thereafter under the 5-minute
rule, and final vote thereon at the
nearest time practicable during the
week.
