ANY AMOUNT OF WATER.
California suffering Great Loss by Floods
and

and snow.
SAN Francisco, Jan, 22.-Rain is still
falling at every point in California north
of san Luis Obispo. Heavy rains arc re-
ported in Sacramento valley and the river
is rising steadily. At Red Bluff il was
22% feet above low water mark at noon, a
rise of three and one-half feet since last
night. The water now in sight will carry
the river TO 26 feet ut Sacramento by
Thursday morning. There are now l75
square miles of submerged valley and tho
storm. which has steadily increased in
severity, is one of the worst of a bad sea-
son. Tho water in all tho rivers and
creeks is higher than for many years. Local
trains in many localities are at a stand
still. In the mountains the snow is -
feet deep on the level in many places. Il
fills up the ravines, weighs down the
branches of trees, and is imprisoning
mountain settlers, who are suffering for
the necessary supplies, the roads having
been impossible for days. Great damage
is done to farms by the rain. snow and
gales.
In a heavy freshct on Klamath river
another drowning occurred. that Of a
wealthy Chinese miller, who was swept
away by the torrents. The town of Napa
is flooded and the river is coursing down
through the streets. Many residents were
taken from their houses to higher ground.
Half the town is still practically sub
merged and rain continues TO fall
steadily.

WAsulNGToN, Feb. There was Il
most exciting scene in tho house OF rep
re%sentatives thia morning when l,epre-
sentatives breckenridge of Kentucky
and Heard of Missouri came to blows in
the center of the aisle in the middle of
the hall. Representative Heard. chair
man of tho committee on District Of
Columbia, became angered because the
Hawaiian question was being brought
forward in the time devoted to his COM
mlttee and attempted to secure the floor.
The beginning Of the controversy WAS
not plain, but suddenly both members
eprang toward each other, Ereckinridgo
shouting, "lou arc a cur, s%coundrcl and
a liar" striking at the member from
Missouri a vicious blow, which missed
him. Instantly they we're seized
by other members, but struggled
fiercely to get at each other, shout
ing Liar" Pence OF Coiorado had
Breckinridge 10y tho throat and
sMoCrcary of Kentucky climbed over
~eevefa' seats aud held him by the sho-!-
der. For three or four minutes there
was a wild ecrambllng resembling a foot
ball rush, while AL the members Of tie
house poured into the aisle ant the
greatest confusion rcigned. The pound
ing of the speakers gavel could not be
heard, but Crisp's voice rang out above
the tumult: "SeIgcant, sergeant al arms,
will you arrest those memhors?' and
then, sergeant at arms, will you bring
them before tho bar Of the house,"
Deputy Sergeant at Arms liill rushed
down the ,isle bearing the great mace,
followed by his assistants. Tho two
members were brought before the speak
er's desk, two men on each side, holding
their arms, and Representative Dockery
OF Missouri standing behind them.
breckenridge was exceedingly red ia the
face, while Heard, who is a slender man,
was ashen pale and trembling
like a leaf. In the course of his explain

personal satisfaction. Both Heard and

serve and their product, and the pro-
ducers arc all that Butte cares to have
as a consideration of general benefit.
Great Falls cannot help but realize that
the product of Butte mines il Of decided
interest and benefit to them. The Bos-
ton g. Montana supplies them with
enough ore at present to sustain a city Of
great magnitude as u smelting point and
sometime during the coming summer
the Anaconda will have a refinery there
that will be the largest in the western
country, all az a source of revenue prjn-
cipally from the mines of Butte.
la order to realize the advantages OF
Butte, it is necessary for one to visit the
Mines On the hill and others surrounding
Butte. 1t will be readily discovered that
these rich companies have no fear OF Il
decline in copper, and that mining
IN general will result advantageously
from now on. All that remains
to establish the great success Of
Buttes mining interest is the recovery of
silver and its advance to a point ihat
will pay the miner a fair .,fOtit on the
production OF silver ores. The mHJCIlty
OF the mines here are copper and gold
p~rpdncers, yet there are hundreds OF
mines in this district that would pay
well 10 work II silver WAS up to Il reason
able point Of value. Even il an advance
is made accompanied 10y an encouraging
outlook for the recovery Of the white
metal. most IF thc mines would start up
at onca, and inside of 90 days there
would be over 800 mines working aud
producing ore ip this district. Montana

Chief Thomas A. lngraham of the

to the effect that the engineers were pre-
pairing for a general strike on the Pacific

has gone there at the request OF the
engineers on tho Southern Pacific road.
Wo hold an agreement with the latter
compahy az to the wages which the en-
gineerB shall be paid. The company
recently, however, prepared Il new
schedule which they now ask the cngi
necrB TO accept. The now schedule, /
believe, provides for some reduction IN
the wages of the men. Mr.. Arthur has
gone to California to settle the matter
if possible, aud there is every reason to
believe the matter will be amicably ad-
juBtcG. There is no polling going on in
the lodges in order to get d vote on the

TIN PLATE INDUSTRY.
1t Is Claimed That American Works
Are Taking Business From
south Wales.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Evil times have
fallen upon South Wales as the result of
the establishment Of tin plate works in
the United States. Consul lloWellH at
Cardiff. has made an exhaustive report
to the state department upon the show
ing that the manufacturers there take a
very pessimistic view of the future. lie
says that until recently South Wales
enjoyed a monopoly Of the tin plate
trade. Tho United States has always
been uul still remains the greatest Gus
toner, but since she has undertaken the
task Of supplying her WI wants III this,
as she has long since been doing in other
branches of IRON and steel, there has
been a considerable falling off III tNa
American demand without any comp"n
sailing supply being needed for other
markets, therefore, the difference has
been an entire loss to tho Welsh manu-
facturcrs, few Of whom appear to be in
terestod in the new works on American
soil, The year of 1894 has been a
wretched ono aud it would argue u very
sanguino temperament indeed to look
forward to brighter prospects during the
present year in the face of the probable
ity of the American demand growing
still smaller. Hopes were cherished
Wilson tariff would Immediately usher
in a revival Of trade, but by this time
hope has given way to despair and
throughout the district ono hears only
rumors of stoppage OF works, requests
Tor concessions, and demands for redu
tions in wages.
The manufacturers have been strain
ing every nerve to reduce the cost Il
production and labor troubles have fol-
lowed. Not only will wages be per
m%anontly reduced but hundreds will be
added to the thousands of n-p~laters al
ready out of employment and the trades
union is practically d~isorganized.
The consul i~nclosos an extract from q
local paper saying: "lhe American tin
plate works, which it was thought would
have to stop, are going on as vigorously
rs ever, competing for and often securing
orders which formerly came to this
country. Their position has actually
improved recently, inasmuch as they
have obtained "a reduction in wages Of
about 30 per cent. while in this country
the strong effort made in the same direc-
ton has up to tho present time proved
futile, except in a few isolated cases,
Probably tho most striking feature of
tho years trading has been the serious
diminished call fer tcrne plates from the
United States, the native works being
equal to supplying almost the whole of
that important trade. There has also
been a diminished demand for charcoal
tins. A feature of the year, too, has
been tho large shipments of finished
block plates, not only to the states, but
to tho continent. 1t ia not thought,
however, that this trade will continue
with US. but be gradually absorbed by
native mills"
