The River nj; Cincinnati Is STIR.
Slowly Rising.
Cincinnati, Jan. 90, Yesterday the.
weather was clear with the mercury
at -. A stage of so feet 3 10 inches:
was maintained from o'clock in the
morning until Z O'clock at night, when.
the river began to rise slowly. At 8.
1t mad reached SO feet and s inches,
and was still rising slowly. Perfectly
trustworthy dispatches received show
the river falling from above Wheeling
al the way down to Portsmouth.
From Portsmouth to Cairo it is rising
slowly. The great Kanawha poured
out comparatively little water. From.
the Big Sandy down to the mouth of
the Ohio the southern affiuents con-.
tributed to the big flood. They are all:
falling down to the kentucky river
and. including that stream. All the.
freshets from tributaries on the north
SIDE OF the river were less serious than
nrst reports, represented. It is not
probable that the stage here will
much exceed fifty-two feet. More
over, it there should be no rainfall in.
the meantime the high water will run
out before the food accommodating at
PlttSburg comes down.

1t is reported that at the Grand ISL
and, Neb., sugar beet factory a flock
of $4,000 sheep and a number of cat
tie are now being fed almost exclusive
ly upon the sliced beets, after the
juices and sugar are extracted. City
delivery wagons deliver to owners of
COWS or other live stock in the city all
the feed of this kind that can be con-
stunned, for the nominal price of rs
cents a week. At first only one wagon
supplied the demand, but now there
are three engaged in the service. To
encourage the industry the Grand
Island factory exacts no charge for
the food. Stock feeders and farmers
are at liberty to haul away the prod
uct in unlimited quantities. At the
stock yards near by $50 tons of the
beet refuse are fed daily and, it is said,
stockmen find that with the addition
of small quantities of grain cattle and
sheep are quickly placed in fine con-
dition for the market.

Spokane,s-NNas Jan. 26.-At mid
night fire was destroying the Great
Eastern block, on Riverside avenue.
Inc stairway was burned away and
the people in the building are at the
windows crying for help. It is feared
there will be loss Of life. The build

more than twenty-five have been
saved. Great crowds in the streets
are frantic with excitement. Several
thrilling .rescues were made. One.

GEN. LEE HEARD FROM.

Three Cipher Dispatches Received
at Neutrality-suspicious. Discusses
~+' the Situation.
f. New York, Jan. 26. - The Worlds
Washington correspondent says that
the battleship Maine was ordered to
Havana in response to a cablegram
from Gen. Lee. After O'Clock last
night three cipher dispatches from
Gen. Lee were received at the state
department, translated and sent to
Judge Day, assistant secretary Of
state, who took them to the dinner
given by Judge McKenna. At that
dinner all the members of the cabinet
except Gen. Alger were present, and
q consultation, practically a cabinet
meeting, was being held to consider
the situation in Cuba. After return
ing to the executive mansion the pres
ident ordered direct telegraphic COM
munication between here and Key
West. 1t was then his evident inten-
ton to send a long dispatch to Gen.
Lee, but he subsequently decided to
defer this until morning.

At the opening of the agricultural
building at Tuskegee, Ala, Secretary
OF Agriculture Wilson said: There
is a growing demand for men educated
IN the sciences relating to agriculture.
We want soil physicist at the depart
ment in Washington-a simple want,
one would say. There are 1000 peo-
pie asking places in the department,
Well-educated people, but not one has
studied soils. An inquiry comes from
a university for biologist; none of
the 1000 is proficient along that line;
a scientific dairyman is in demand;
very few are to be had, while the coun-
try has surplus of men and women
Well-educated along lines that do not
apply to the farm and it's various de-
partments. We must educate young
people to do something that somebody
wants done, where money is waiting
to pay them.

washington, Jan. :26.--For the first
time since the insurreotion broke out
in Cuba three years ago the United
States government will be represented
nm the harbor of Havanaiby Warship.
The decision to send the Maine was
finally reached at special meeting at
the White House yesterday morning
Between the president, Secretary Long,
Assistant Secretary Day, Attorney
General McKenna and Gen. Miles.
and it is a striking fact THAT, with the
exception of the secretary of the navy
and the attorney general, not a men,
Der of the cabinet knew of the presi.
dents intention to take this radical
action. 1t is not denied, however,
that some such move has been long
the following statement of Assistant
Secretary Day: '"The sending of the
Maine to Havana means simply the
resumption of friendly naval relations
with Spain. 1t is customary for naval
vessels of friendly nations to pass in
and out of harbors of other countries
with which they are at peace, and
British and German warships have
recently visited Havana This is no
new move. The president has intend
ed to do it for some time but hereto
fore something has happened to post
pone it. The orders to the Maine
mean nothing more than 1 have said,
and there is nothing alarming or I'M
friendly in them. The Spanish min
lister here is fully Informed of what
is going on. and SO far as know, has
not made the slightest objection to it,
He also said that Consul General Lee
had not sent for warship.
This statement shows that the move
was made deliberately, and that it
could not have been taken if there
were serious apprehension of it's re-
suits in Havana. The general belief
here, however, is that in Madrid,
rather than in any Cuban town, is
trouble to be looked for, If there
should be any misapprehension Of the
purpose of our government in sending
the Maine to Havana. The temper of
the opposition newspapers in the
Spanish capital has been threatening
for some time, and it may require the
strong hand of the. news censor to re-
press utterances that would lead to
rioting.

The second sealing conference closed
with an agreement of the American,
Canadian and British seal experts upon
certain matters of fact. Among these
are the statements that the Pribilof
seal herd is not more than one third or
one-fifth as large as formerly; that the
catch at sea contains a marked excess
of females; but that deep-sea sealing
has fallen off in greater ratio than the
herd has; and that the herd is not in
danger of actual determination while
its haunts on land are protected, and
the protected zone around the islands
is maintained. This agreement of the
experts was followed by a diplomatic
conference, at which the representa-
tives of Canada submitted PROPOSE
tons for an adjustment of all questions
at issue between the United States and
Canada, through an international COM
mission. These propositions are to be
formally presented later for the con
sideration of our government.

A foreign writer recently said: Ger
many feels more and more the need
of foreign markets. She has ceased
to be a pre-eminently agricultural
country, and is becoming every year
more and more an industrial and COM
merclal country. In 1882, of every
1000 persons AS were supported by
agriculture and only 355 by industry
and 100 by commerce. In 1895 the pro-
portions were already nearly reversed,
XVI per 1000 derived their livelihood
hcm industry, lis from commerce and
only 357 from agriculture. Foreign
markets, must therefore, be secured
abroad for the surplus production of
her industry, and, on the other hand,
food and raw materials must be OBJ
tanned in increasing quantities from
abroad"
