\ FLOOD Ar PORTLAND.

Portland, Or, Jan. IA flood of
muddy water poured down through a
number of the streets in the north
and west parts of the city this after
noon, making those sections of town
look like a vast like. The very heavy
rains of last night and this forenoon
caused a general surface flooding all
over the country. Every branch and
rivulet became a small roaring torrent,
and the sewers OF the city proved in
adequate to convey the water away.
Along the sides Of the hills west of the
city great quantities Of water poured
down. Shortly after noon q. twenty
inch pipe leading to Washington street
from the city park broke and liberated
a deluge Of water on the streets.
Meantime Johnson creek became a
raging torrent. These two sources
combined to make a stream that re-
sernbled a small river. After reaching
Twenty third street, the water spread
out, running over sidewalks and into
cellars. The Portland Consolidated
Street railway via sustain a heavy
loss by having a. la-ise part of its cleo

THREATENED WITH FLOODS.

Vancouver, B. G, Jan. 12.-The PRO-
vince is threatened with serious floods and
great damage is being done in that por-
ton of the Fraser valley which suffered
so severely last spring. The floods are
caused by the unusually high tides ex-
rerienced here yesterday and today. This
morning. the Delta district was one large
lake and in place Of vehlcular traffic on
rcads, boats were called into requisition.
The tide, assisted by heavy gale from
the west drove the water over the
dykes and at 10 o'clock this morning the
yater inside the cmbankment was six
inches higher than at any time during the
81 ring flood. Wartham island is entire
ly under water. Fortunately the farmers
had time to remove their stock and eff
fects, and as the harvest, of course, is
over, the loss will rot be 50 serious,
though great damage has been done to
reads and dykes.
AT the north arm of the Frazer, a set
Element on the opposite side of the river,
"a similar state of affairs exists. All the
rivers have risen with remarkable rapid
ity and dispatches from various points
in the river territory tell Of flood and
threatened danger.

Boise, Idaho, Jan 12.-[Special.l-
There has been no material change in
the senatorial fight during the past
forty-eignt hours.
Neither house was in session today,
and the members sat about the hotels
while workers were busy for the respac-
tive candidates.
Your correspondent has positive in
formation that Shoups forces are intent
on fixing Up a deal with the Populists
10 tide him through. as already stated
In The Herald. While a. contract in
writing has been made by one or two
1populist members, it is believed that
the effort Will result disastrously to the
faction employing them, as there is no
evidence yet that Populist members will
vote for Shoup to any considerable num-
Der.
There can be but little doubt that
any change in the present situation
wia disclose hidden, silent factors now
working upon each side and from this
may be determined the lines it would
be fought on.
Shoups forces are bending every
twice met in caucus, as such move has
disconnected them to a degree as. well
as going to prove that thus far Sweet
and his party are thoroughly in accord
and working ont on the lines previous
~ agreed to. Should it transpire that
they do not elect a. senator from the
north, the result will be that their
party will be made to suffer in the next
election. This is conceded in q large
1 measure by leaders on each side.
-~Rule p, adopted by the senate, is NOT
alone parusan-it is a hummer and in
tended TO annihilate Popullst members.
1t provides that on motion being made
and seconded, to close the doors of the
8enate on a discussion which may. in
.Ae opinion OF any senator, require
secrecy in executive session, the pI,es;-
dent shall direct all save senator's, sec
Rotary and seFgeaIl-at-arms to with
draw. a separate Journal shall be kept
OF such secret proceedings and pf such.
none save executive nominations shall
be given to the governor or published.
Any senator divulging such secrets is
liable to expulsion.
Artlcle d section u, Of the constftu-
tion says: THE business of each house
and Of the committee of the whole shall,
be transacted openly and not in secret
session
Bills cannot be printed without the
committee authorizing. This is a. blow
at Populists. President Bierbowar ii
IS reliably stated, has said that they
ola not intend TO have PopuEst .itera-
trsie published at the expense of Che
STATE. The Populists are much exer-
cised.

by the Newest Fad in Dinners.
It is the social vortex that now at
alton this season is SO unique, that the
whole of society is divided against it
self.
tween those who are termed in scorn
the hnickerbocller element and the
new people. At the head of the former
element is Mrs. Astor. This lady is SO
designated, because she is the eldest of
llshed her right to be SO styled, instead
of Mrs. John Jacob Astor.
1t would appear that the new" people
have gone in for eXtraVagant forms of
entertainment, and fer those bizarre
amuSeEnents, which may do in Z gay
capital, but which are pronounced out OF
place in q genuine aristocracy such as
New York now claims to possess.
For example, the latest idea. from
Paris is the Humpty Dumpty dinner, in
tended as a substitute for the Turkish
son. The walters at these dinners are
clad in traditional cloWnfSh costumes,
and the feast consists of eggs in all
sorts of culinary deyeiopments-on1e
lettes, salads etc. The younger set have
been giving these affairs with great en-
thusiasm for weeks past, but Mrs. AS
tor has declared her intention of drop
ping from her list anyone who Is i'm
She thinks such affairs make society
ridiculous, whereas the new" people
point out that the Prince of Wales him
self has given Runlpty Dumpty dinners
and that they are no more undignified
than masquerade balls. Be this as It
may, society is divided on strictly
Humpty Dumpty lines, and Mrs. Astor
leads the ants, says the Philadelphia
Press. The matter Is important as ac-
centuating the hostility between the
Gould and Eaverneyer element and the
Astor-Van Rensselaer, party.
It is not unlikely that we shall have
some bitter personalities injected into
the Sloings OF the entire social season
as a result of this embroglio. Nearly all

quarrel or other Not in the memory of
the oldest society people has 50 much
discord existed among those, who, in
view of their wealth and position, should
set all the world an example Of propri

company, the CnattaI ooga Union Railway
company, in which the firm of Clark &
Brown are alleged to have assumed to

There was an allowance to the 1irua in
