England and the Transvaal.

LONDON, Mar. Cit is rumored that
Mr.. Chamberlain, colonial secretary,
has sent an emphatic intimation to
President Kruger, of the South African
republic, that the aliens act, in opera
ton in the Transvaal, is in contraven.
ton of the provisions of the London
convention of 1854 and must be with
drawn. The relations between Great
Britain and the Transvaal are very
much strained and Mr.. Chamberlain is
anxious that the inevitable s;rug-
gle between the two shall come as
quickly as possible. Lord Wolseley,
commander-in chief Of the British
army, is said to have estimated that
twenty thousand British troops would
be sufficient to conquer the Beers. In
the meantime it is understood that
President Kruger is prepared to resist
all interference on the part of England
at all costs.

Disastrous Floods.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 6.-The storm
which ragged throughout the middle
west on Thursday night stands un
parallelled not only for the extent OF
the territory ove which it ranged but
for the amount of water precipitated.
At Cincinnati the rain fall amounted to
5.3S inches, and floods are reported
from almost every Geographic station
from Pittsburg to Kansas City, and from
the lakes to the northern boundary of
Tennessee. In some instances the wind
reached the velocity OF a hurricane,
and much damage to dwellings, barns,
fences, orchards and forests have been
reported. Throughout southern Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio the damage to rail-
road property in the form of washouts,
making traffic impossible and in the
wrecks caused by the softening of the
roadbeds, is immense. A not incon-
siderable loss will be caused by the
washing away of bridges and roadways
in the rural districts at a cost of mill
lions of dollars, and which, in many
cases, have been totally destroyed.
The estimates are that considerably
over 81, 0OO, 900 worth of property has
been lost in the vicinity of Cincinnati,
Dayton, Indianapolis and st. Louis.
DAYTON, o., March Cat three
o'clock this morning the bank of the
Miami and Erie canal, bust, just south
of Main street, and now the entire
Southern section of the city is inundat

are removing their household effects to
higher ground. The waters from the
canal and the river have united or the
southern side, making q sea of water
covering several hundred acres. Adj
vices from other points in Ohio show
| great losses from the recent storms.
Reports received from points along
the Missouri river and in the northern
portion of Missouri are to the effect
that the rainfall was the heaviest in
over twenty-five years. The damage
to farm property will reach nearly q
quarter of a million dollars.

The Situation at Carson.

CARSON, New. March 6.-There is
much speculation here as to the prob
able tactics of Corbett and Fitzsimmons
in the coming contest. From all that
can be learned both men intend to
fight o cautious and wary battle. This
being the case, the battle will certainly
be a long one. A snowstorm which set
in last night bids fair to put an end to
outdoor work for both men for some
days. Neither FitZsimmons nor Cor
bett has eased up one whit although
their friends are becoming fearful of
entertaining or stating. Early next
week Fitzsimmons will do nothing but
such work as club swinging and mod
crate walks. Corhett, too, will next
week do just enough to keep his wind
and muscles in trim. Arrangements
have been made for q number Of
the best deputies obtainable in the Ne
vada towns, to be located at Carson.
This will effectually prevent rowdyism

SPEAKER LEFT HIS DESK.-Ihe dis
cussion ofthe lease ofthe NorthCaroliua
Railroad by the Southern Railway pre-
cipitated a turbulent scene in the legis-
lature yesterday. The Senate substi-
lute reducing the 99-year lease to thir-
ty years cameup under special order.
A motion was made to call up a reso-
luton asking the Supreme Court to
hand down an opinion in the matter of
the validity of the substitute bill. This
aroused the opposition, and confusion
broke loose. Dozens of members
sprung to their feet shouting and pro-
testing, and the House lost all SEM
blance of order. Amid the confusion
a recess until three o'clock was de-
clared. Then the disorder broke
all bounds, and as the speaker left
his desk some one shouted, 1.-THE House
is without q speaker" and the mex in
slant q substitute speaker had been
nominated and escorted to the desk.
By this time the floor of the House was
a wild mob, and the more nervous mem
bers left the House.
When, at three o'clock, the House re-
convened the fight was resumed, and
after q heated discussion a postpone
ment until to-day at one O'Clock was
had, the friends of the bill fighting the
delay at every step. The anti-lease
men won by a majority of six.

BALTIMORE CONFERENCE.

The Baltimore Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, in session
10 Baltimore, voted yesterday, 100 to
65. sgainst admission of women to the
general conference. The proposition
to give laymen equal representation
with the clergy was also defeated. The
vote on the latter proposal was 9S
to SO.
A amendment to the discipline to be
submitted to the general conference
was submitted, and had a good many
sponsors among the ministers. Ii pro-
vides that the general conference shall
have the power to decide judiciallv
constitutional questions, but that it
shall not have power to override the
legislative action OF the annual confer
enc on any question.
In an address to q class %ofyoung min
listers, Bishop Mallallieu expressed him
self in %unmeasured terms against the
use of alcohol in medicine or other
wise. "If l had come to a time" he
said, "when the Lord had nothing 10
save my iiio cACepU aiCoHoI' L "Ouiu
think it were time for me to die"
The bishop also paid his respects TO
the higher criticism and higher critics
who doubt that Moses was the author
of the Pentateuch. He talked of Christ
quoting from Moses, and said Moses
was indorsed by the Mohammedsns,
by the apocrypha, by the apostles, by
1900 years of the Christian Church and
by the Lord Jesus Christ. OF higher
criticism he said 81 hope We will not
be fooled by these poor things who
hunt through the cutters of German in
fidelity and try to palm their cast
of theories onto Methodist preachers"
The ~deaconesses reported satisfactory
progress of their work in Baltimore
and Washington, after which Bishop
Walden, of Cincinnati, was introduced
and address ed the conference.
