QUEBEC FLOODS.
Warm Weather Melts Snow and Ice
Which Causes Much Damage.
Fears That the Worst Is to Come
High Water in Adirondack Re-
gion-ln Wisconsin.

Montreal, Cam, April 1s.-Reports
which are reaching here show that as
consequence of the extraordinarily
warm weather of the past few days,
melting the snow which during the
past winter had fallen in unprecedented
quantities, the rivers and streams in
all parts of the province have become
swollen to an extent unknown in 80
Years, and great damage is being done
to property along their shores. Many
villages and towns are reported wholly
or partially under water, the inhab-
itants being compelled to move about
in boats and on RATS. Dozens of
bridges, including some of the largest
i'll the province, have been carried
away, together with numerous mills,
tarmhouses and other buildings, as
we'll as logs, lumber and movable prop
erty of all kinds. Railway traffic is
greatly interrupted by washouts and
the carrying away of bridges. The
water is dropping slowly now, but it is
feared that when the ice, which still
holds in some of the rivers and lakes,
gives way, further and perhaps more
serious damage will result.
Fear for the Worst.

ECKELS ON FINANCE,
synopsis of His Latest Address, Delivered
at Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, April is. = Hon. James
II. Eckels, comptroller of the currency,
addressed an audience of 1000 Cincin-
natl business men here Friday night.
Mr.. Eckels' address was on the sub.
ject of national finances and the cur
rency and was in response to joint in
yitation of the chamber of commerce.
the Clearing House association and the
Commercial club of Cincinnati. lie was
introduced by Mr.. j. B. Hearne, presi-
dent of the Third national bank, who
presented the speaker in few brief
and appropriate remarks. Mr.. Ecleis
took the stand at eight o'clock and
spoke for over two hours.
Mr.. Eckels said he had no sympathy
with that sentiment which sprang from
demagogy and misguided politics, that OK
cluded the distiIctively business man from

u business character. In the past there
had been too much fear of the hue and
cry of noisy agitators and breeders OF
discomfort and strife on the part of bust
ness men and the result was the nation was
confronted with conditions that were
continual source of harm. The people
stood In need of complete freedom from he
agitations which had menaced prosperity
and impoverished the citizen since the war.
At no time within the last so years had
such serious conditions confronted the
business world. The business depression
Of to-day was caused by legislation which
gave new power to the free silver advo-
Gates and placed a larger burden on the
treasury's gold reserve without increasing

There never was SO small ones as in the
years since that date. The silver legisla-
ton of that year accomplished what all
the other currency heresies and follies of
three decades could not do. The American
business world to-day was witnessing the
result of doubt and the lessening of conf
dence in us on the part of those who were
the country's strongest financial allies and
its greatest source of capital. The home
investor was none the less a doubter ard
