Swept by a Flood
HEAVY DOWNFALL OF RAIN
THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE
WEST.
A Vast Amount of Damage Done as
All Streams We're Overlooked
and Railroad Traffic Was
Greatly Delayed and at Some
Places Entirely Suspended.

CHICAGO. March 6 The storm which
ragged throughout the middle west Oh
Thursday night stands unparalleled. not
only for the great extent of territory
over which it ranged. but for the
amount of water precipitated. At Gin.
cinnati the rainfall reported by the
weather bureau officials amounted &c
5.3S inches, and floods are reported
from almost every Geographic station
from Pittsburg on the east to Kansas
City on the west 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, or
chards and forests has been reported
from various points throughout the dis
trict. At Cairo, Ills, several buildings
were unroofcd, aud one dwelling was
blown down. causing the death of an
infant inmate.
Throughout southern Illinois. Indiana
and Ohio the damage to railroad prop
erty in the form of washonts, making
traffic impossible, and in the wrecks
caused by the softening of the roadbeds,
is immense.
a not uncomfortable loss to the peo-
pie, as whole, will be caused by the
washing away OF bridges and roadways,
which have been built upon the rural
districts at cost of millions of dollars.
and which in many cases have been to-
tally destroyed.
Owing to the Generalization of rail
way traffic. the mails local, to the de-
luged district have been greatly de-
layed. while the through service over
the trunk lines east and west and north
and south has been badly crippled,
greatly to the annoyance of the vast
husiupss interests involved

Autonomy to the Cretans Under a Greek
Prince Proposed.
LONDON, March S.-There is no doubt,
says the Athens correspondent of The
Times, that if Prince George of Greece
were placed at the head of an autono-
nous Crete government, with the title
Of Prince, the whole Greek nation and
the Cretans would willingly accept the
proposals of the powers and the Greek
troops would be withdrawn.
"Such scheme, therefore," says The
Times correspondent, "ought not to be
rejected without the gravest reasons
The Cretans are suspicious of the prom
iSes of Europe and firmly believe that
there is no other course open than union
with Greece or Turkish rule; but,
doubtless, if choice were offered to
them, their preference would be for
autonomy under Greek prince"

Washington, March 4.-The decora-
tistic beauty and harmonious treat
ment overshadowed anything Of the
kind hitherto seen in Washington.
About $4,000 had been expended by
the committee in the lighting and
adjoining of the great court of the pen
sion building, and as a result 1t had
undergone complete transformation
and presented a rare scene of beauty
and brilliancy. Past errors in the gen.
eral placing of the decorations were
carefully avoided. The armor and
shields and much medieval adornment,
together with great areas of red, white
and blue bunting, and the familiar fea-
ture of the flags Of all nations, which
largely predominated in the decora-
tions Of former years, were discarded,
and an entirely new scheme of treat
ment adopted, making everything sub
servient to the floral decorations, which
were in charge of ]. II. Small e. Son,
the Washington and New York for
lists.
This change from the old to modern
methods. by which a blending OF eff
fects was secured In place of garish
and startling results, was a conspicu-
Gus success. For the groundwork Of
the floor decorations and for the great
canopy above about $4,000 yards Of
white and gold challie was used. The
great court was divided into three
nearly equal sections by two rows Of
massive columns which crossed 1t. and
to obscure the roof and materially re-
duce the height three immense domes
of white and gold challie were sus-
pended with fine effect in the center
of these sections, about 20 feet from
the floor. from the outer edge OF the
domes. which we're encircled with
small electric lights gracefully draped
to the top of the surrounding CALLER
les. A number OF pleasing electric
light features were introduced
A large American flag composed OF
colored lights was suspended on the
west above the second gallery. and by
a clever mechanical contrivance the
flag was given the appearance of wav-
ing in the breeze. Within the east
stand was suspended on blaak back
ground and In deep shadow a single
brilliant red electric star. High up on
the south wall was an American eagle
with wings outspread. clutching In its
talons an electric shield In colors. and
from its beak depended two floral
scrolls bearing the words Mckinley

newly elected senator's.
The senate then took a recess and
the procession moved to the stand at
the east portico In front of the rotun-
da, President Cleveland and President
elect Mckinley leading. On the stand
the oath of Office was administered to
President-elect Mckinley by Chief
Justice Fuller. President Mckinley
then made his inaugural address.
On concluding he returned to the
presidents room In the senate wing of
the Capitol and from there he was es-
corted to the White House by the in
augural parade, which began to move
from the Capitol about 2 o'clock.
The parade moved from the Capitol
by way of Pennsylvania avenue west
to Washington Circle, thence east
through X street to Vermont avenue,
where the organizations were re-
viewed by Grand Marshal Porter and
dismissed. From a stand in front of
the White House the president re-
viewed the parade.
On the return to the White House,
which President Mckinley reached
ahead Of the main body of the parade,
a luncheon was served for him before
he went to the reviewing stand. At
this time he and Mrs. Mckinley took
leave of ex-President and Mrs. Cleve-
land.
