BRYAN VISITS THE HOUSE.
Beam Hg With Smiles He Responds to the
Warm Greetings of Friends From
His Old Seat

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. "a The
appearance OF William Jennings Bryan,
the Democratic candidate for President
last fall. upon the floor OF the House was
the most noticeable event of to-day's ses-
sion. He had the entree of the floor as an
ex-member. and came into the hall at 40
o'clock, about an hour after his arrival in
the city. His appearance evoked applause
from many members, few OF whom gave
vocal expression to their pleasure From
his old seat he responded 10 the. greetings
of his friends and acquaintances, his face
beaming with smiles. Among those who
shook his hand was General Grosvenor
(R.) of Ohio, who extended warm greet
ing the ex-mem Der. Before leaving Mr..
Bryan paid his respects to Speaker Reed.
Nearly TWO hours were spent in the dis
cussIon OF recommendation by the Com
mittee on Accounts authorizing the prepa-
ration of a digest of election contests in
the Fifty third and Fifty fourth Con-
crosses, to cost $500 and TO be prepared
by the clerks of the Committees on Elec-
tions. This was urged by the chairman
of the Elections Committee, but it was
finally referred to the Committee on
Printing.
The conference report on the bill to de-
fine the rights of purchasers of the prop
erty of the Atlantic and Pacific Railr nad
Company was agreed to.
GTout (R. of Vermont presented the re-
port Of the special committee appointed
to- investigate the management of the
Leavenworth Soldiers Home, which was
ordered printed.
a message was received from the Presi-
dent containing the report of the Joint
committee appointed under the agree
ment between the United States and Great
Britain in 1892 for SURVEYS of waters con-
tiguous to the United states ami Canada.
The rest of the day was spent in the
consideration of business relative 10 the
District OF Colum bia. The most i'm
portant measure passed was the Senate
bill making the Potomac Park out of
Potomac Flats land reclaimed from the
water in the Potomac River.

Costs the Poolrooms a
Refund Sum.

CHICAGO. ILL, Feb PA combina-
ton of gamblers which has for weeks
been beating the poolrooms and hand
books made a winning to-day OF about
$780, 900. The poolrooms that suffered
were: Arthur Webb's place, the
pla ces of John Condor and James
O'Leary at Roby and Washington
Heights and the small books which have
been doing a hand business about town.
The winning com bination was headed by
the Ryans, Tom and Ed. whose operations
have for the last year been directed
mainly against the Kentucky and Ohio
tracks about Cincinnati.
Yesterday the combination camped with
all its money on Ferrier in the fourth race
at San Francisco, and on Ondague in the
third race at New Orleans, and as result
practically swept out ali the available coin
that remained in the hands of the pur-
veyors OF orders after their run of three
weeks of tough luck"
Conservative sporting men about town
place the estimate upon the amount won
by the combination at $4,000, of which
the Roby and Washington Heights books
lost nearly half, while Arthur Webb is
said to have suffered third of the losses
with the remainder divided between the
recently opened book at Elmhurst and the
hand books about town.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, Feb. 24.-Reports
tonight from Pomeroy, Ironton and
Ports mouth are that all the business por-
tions OF these places are submerged, and
many families are sleeping in public halls,
schoolhouses and churches.
The Ohio River is still rising here at the
rate of two inches an hour, which has
been the rate for the twelve hours preced-
ing o'clock to- night. at which hour SIS
feet inches was the stage. AL
though the river is falling at Pittsburg, it
will take until Friday or Saturday for the
crest of the r.se to pass here under the
most favorable circumstances. The So
foot stage will be reached early tomorrow
morning. The chief signal service officer
predicts that the 60-foot stage will be
the limit. Other experienced men say
the water will go considerably higher than
that.
Merchants on East Front street who
would be driven out by sixty two feet are
making no attemp pit TO move their goods.
The gymnasium grounds, the baseball
park, the Ludlow Lagoon and Cooney
Island are all more or less under water
The expensively constructed Gest-street
tunnel and bridge is being rapidly under

railroads have now abandoned Union

ary depot at Eighth street. Forty families
applied at one charitable institution to-
day for relief on account of the high water
driving them from home. Dayton and
Bellevue on the Kentucky side have been
cut off from streetcar connection at New
port, and travel is now by fatboat. The
western part of Newport is suffering
greatly.
The police reported at o'clock tonight
that over 100 families had been driven
from their homes by the water. and that
the 60-foot stage, expected by morning,
would reach as many more. The police
force OF Newport is now largely occupied
in patrolllng the submerged districts in
skiffs. Public halls ami churches may be
thrown open, but so far the sufferers have
all been taken care of. At Riverside the
Town Hall has been opened for food suf-
ferers, but only few have asked for its

safe contained 1900 in Turkish money.
The soldiers who had gathered about
the burning building and were engaged in

the contents of the sale exposed tried to
steal the money. but were prevented by the
European officers, who directed the sailors
under their command. to fire a volley of
blank cartridges at the would-oe robbers.
The incident nearly caused riot between
the Turks and Europeans.

Hhat Mr. Bryan Says of the Poitcy of

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 24-Mr.
Bryan was asked tonight to give his
opinion on the address issued by the Sill
yer Republicans. and in response said:
II believe that they are right in con-
tinuing separate organization as Silver
Republicans. They were among t most
effective supporters of bimetallism durine
the campaign and since the election thew
have stood unshaken and undismayed.
They do not consider themselves Demo-
Gratis or Populists, and since they cannot
affiliate with the Republican party while
it stands for the gold standard, they have
wisely decided TO complete an organiza-
tlon and hold their forces together.
I'm accepting the nomination of the
National Silver party l stated that we did
not insist upon the Silver Republicans
becoming Democrats. but that we ac-
cepted their support with the understand
ing that the same patriotism which di-
rected them in 1896 would be present to
direct them in 1900. The mocratic
party deserved their confidence in 1896
and hope it will deserve their support in
the next campaign. Future events must
determine what is wise in 1900."
