Cincinnati, Feb. 17.-The heaviest
snow storm of the season struck the
Ohio valley Monday, following the
heavy rains of Saturday and Sunday
and sleet storm Sunday night, and
from five to seven inches of snow now
covers the ground.
The street car service at some
points is entirely suspended, while at
other places it is badly crippled.
The heavy rains of Sunday and the
succeeding snow caused rapid rise
in the Ohio river at all points from
Pittsburg to below Cincinnati. At
Parkersburg the river rose nine feet
Monday, making stage of "a feet,
and from Point Pleasant on down to
this city it rose over eight feet dur
ing the past "a hours. At Cincinnati

The recent fight with insurgents in
the vicinity of Manila, in which an
American officer was killed, is an in
dication that pacifcation in the Phil
ippines is not yet quite complete. If
a fight Of this sort can take place
within seven miles of the capital of
the Philippines, as this did, there
must necessarily be considerable dis
affection left in the archipelago. The
movement of troops homeward, by
which the garrison of the islands has
been reduced to about 10000, is evil
dently rather premature.

The hazing of some new officers in
a British regiment consisted in their
accusation, before a sham court-mar-

families in the kingdom and failing
to represent themselves as consum-

moved for permitting even this mild
form of foolishness. Evidently haz-

THE NEW SECRETARY.
Mr. COrtelyOu Has Been Prominently
Before the American People.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Few men in
public life to-day are mole widely or
more favorably known than Secretary
George Bruce Cortelyou. For years
he has occupied a prominent place III
the interest of the people, and the eX-
emplary manner in which he has met
every emergency that has arisen be-
fore him has won for him the cordial
esteem not only of those with whom
he has been intimately associated,
personally and officially, but also of
the body of the American public, to
whom he is known merely by reputa-
ton. Secretary Cortelyou is man of
attractive personality, a scholar of
ability and admirable training and
public official of genius. He is the
personitication of courtesy, is invari-
ably kind and obliging, and may be
depended on always to say and do
the right thing. He combines rare
tact with brilliant executive ability,
and his capacity for work amazes all
with whom he comes in contact.
Mr.. Cortelyou was born in New
York city on July 26, 1862. He is de-
scended from a distinguished family,
his ancestors bSing among the lead
ers in the colonial and revolutionary
history of the state of New York.
From early childhood he was an ear
nest student, and his home training
and associations were of the best.
After attending public and private
schools, including the old Moravian
school, at Bethlehem. Pa. he was
graduated from the Hampstead insti-
tute in 1879, and three years later
completed his preliminary education
at the state normal school in West
field, Mass.
His official career may be said to
have begun in 1889, when he became
private secretary to the post office in
spector in charge at New York. Aft
er serving the surveyor of the port
Of New York as confidential stenOg-
rapher, he came to Washington, in
July, 1891, as private secretary to the
fourth assistant postmaster general.
His record in the post Office depart
nent was such that in 1895 President
Cleveland appointed him his executive
clerk. and confidential stenographer.

same capacity until 1898, when, on ac-

bly, would have done had he been
