The Great Flood Has Done Its Wor.t in
That Vicinity. ~ III
P1rTsBURa, Feb. 25.-The great food
has done its worst in this section, and
the waters are now receding. A cold
wave which came up suddenly broke
the back of the food and the reports
from all points between Plttsburg and
the headwaters is that the worst has
passed. The Monongahela registered
"a feet = inches. and the Allegheny 81
feet about midnight, and after remain.
Jug stationary for several hours, began
slowly to recede. At 10 q. m. the water
had fallen one foot, and from now on
IL will subside almost as rapidly as it
rose, Hardly a point in the Mo
nongahela valley, from Fairmont
to Plttsburg, has escaped damage
by the food, and in many places the
hlghwater mark was covered. Mills
built, supposedly, out OF harms way
were submerged. Works along the
river were shut down, and workmen
forced to flee from the rising tide. The
damage can only be approximated, but
it is not less than a million and q halt
in the Monongahela valley. From the
head waters of the Youghiogheny also
came q torrent that brought with it de.
structlon to valuable property.

A German Investigatios Resu!ts In .
Favorabl. Report.
! WASHINGTON, Feb. 2o.-Some time
ago. tho German government sent q
commission to this country to study
the American railroad system. The
result is : report just published and
transmitted to the state department. by
United States Consul Monaghan at
Chemnitz, in which, with q frankness
almost unknown in such cases the com
missioners contrast the German and
American railway systems, much to
the advantage of the latter. The re.
port will be Of much interest to rail.
road men, and even to the general
American public, for it shows that not.
withstanding the criticisms that have
been heaped upon our own railroads
for high charges, insufficient passen.
ger accommodations and the like in
every point, we are far in the lead OF
the continental system. The scale of
prices included in the report shows in
favor of American rates for comforta-
bic carriages, while in the matter Of
schedule time, the European railways
cannot be classed at all with the Amer
lean lines. There is nothing in all
Europe, the consul shows, to equal in
running time and service the trip be.
tween New York and Chicago. =

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-AttentiOn
was recalled to the Gu ban question in
the senate during the day by the
presentation OF three resolutions OH
that subject. One Of these came by
unanimous vote from the committee OH
foreign relations and called for the i'm
mediate and unconditional release OF
Julio sanguilly, held ut Havana. Mr..
Morgan, who reported the resolution,
VIII endeavor to secure action on it at
once. Another resolution by Mr.. Allen
CT Nebraska calls on the president to
effectively protect American citizens in
Cuba and for that purpose to send bat
tleships to Cuban waters. A third
resolution, by Mr.. Hill of New York,
was agreed to requesting the secretary
o. state for all correspondence with
Consul General Lee relative to Ameri.
cans imprisoned in Cuba.
rettigrew Was Caustic.
A sensational episode occurred late in
the day during the consideration OF the
Indian bill. Several Of the New Eng
land senators had criticised various
items. THIS aroused Mr.. Pettigrew OF
South Dakota, in charge of the bill, to
some caustic recitals of barbarities
practiced against Indians in Massa-
chusetts in the early days. Mr.. Hoar
OF Massachusetts defended his state,
and, amid impressive silence, arraigned
Mr.. Pettigrew, New Highlander, by
birth. for "befouling the nest in which
he was born"
Little progress was made on the In.
dian bill and Mr.. Allison warned tho
senate that the status Of appropriation
bills was most dangerous. The senate
will hereafter sit until midnight.
Nelson and villas Clash.
Senator Nelson had a lively clash
with Senator Villas of Wisconsin early
in tho day. Nelson made q determined
stand for passing Senator Quay's bill
the time for competing the
Duluth. Superior bridge. Villas claimed
that Quay was representing Pennsyl-
vania steel company's interest, and
that Nelson was corporation at.
torney in the matter. This evidently
the Minnesots senator and he
replied to Villas with much feeling. He
the opposition of Mr..
Villas as about 1.-The most paltry and
he conld think Of. II seemed
to him that plain words should be used.
Mr.. Villas came back with the state
ment that Mr.. Nelson was incorrect in
his facts. There was considerable feel.
ing manifested over the matter and it
left the senators in an ugly humor
after the vote to sidetrack the bill had
been taken. -.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE bear cam
paign on the Stock Exchange to-day finds
its prototype in that Of the illustrious
French monarch who led his army up
the hill and then led them down again.
Only the anterior vancouver on the part
of the stock market bears was that OF
pretended retreat with all the panoply
of woe and with all the trappings of de-
feat. sounding aloud their lamentations
and alarms over the dangers that beset
the values of stocks. In their acute APP
prehension over the prospective de-
cline in prices, they sold numerous
stocks which they did not possess and
induced some few other persons to sell
their holdings. But the large part of
the selling proved to be confined to the
professional reactionists. The failure to
induce any large liquidation and the
news of widespread rains in the West,
breaking the long continued drought ad-
monished the bears to secure stocks with
which to fill selling contracts they had
made. Their buying to cover carried the
market back over about the same course
il had follow, so that the net changes
are very narrow in almost all cases.
This was true even Of Chicago Gas,
which ranged over more than two points
in q very erratic manner, and on large
transactions. 1t was true also of Con-
solidated Gas, which took one Of its
characteristic tumbles Of four points and
