Official Denial at Washinqton.

Washington, March 14.-An official
denial was given at the white house
today to the intimations that the pres
ident had requested the governors OF
the states before whose legislatures
railroad legislation is pending, to come
to Washington for consultation on
that question. The name of Governor
Deneeni has been mentioned in that
connection. In company with Attorney
General Stead, the governor Is coming
to Washington at the request of the
president, and while it is stated that
the visit has to do with another mat
ter entirely, it is believed that ques-
tious affecting the railroads may come
up for consideration. The impression
prevails that the testimony of e. II.
Hartman, in the hearing before the
interstate commerce commission in
New York, regarding the Chicago &
Alton transaction. may be brought to
the attention Of the president by De-
neen. as it is known that the presi-
dent is anxious for information re-
garding any contemplated action by
the Illinois officials in the matter. No
time has yet been fixed for the confer
ence. of the railroad presidents named
by J. P Morgan upon the occasion or
his visit to Washington. Monday night
last. A. B. Stickney. president of the
Chicago Great Western Railroad. was
at the white house today to talk with
the president about railroad Affairs.

Record Of Ten Years Already
Passed, and Rivers are Still
Rising
LOSS At PlTTsBuRe ENORMOUS
1t Now Seems Likely That Worst Flood
Stage in Seventy five Years Will Be
Reached There = Total Estimated
Loss zooo,ooo-Lives Lost at Other
Points.

Pittsbure. March 14.-With business
paralyzed all the large manufacturing
plants and mills along the rivers
closed. traffic between Pittsburg and
Allegheny and on all the local railroads
almost at a standstill, and with nearly
100000 men temporarily out of en-
ployment Pittsburg is suffering today
from the worst flood in her history.
Fourteen deaths have been reported as
the result of high water, and already
the loss from closing mills and plants,
and property damage, is estimated at
cyer a million. The loss in the coke
regions will run into hundreds of thou
sands.
Pittsburg, March 14.-Pittsburg is IN
the throes of one of its greatest floods.
The record of ten years has already
been passed, and the rivers are still
rising. Every tributary along the up
per rivers is swollen and dispatches
from all sections of western Pennsyi-
yania. report that the smaller streams
are beyond their banks, and surround
ing districts are submerged. Weather
bureau officials predict thirty-four
feet or over at Pittsburg. If this stage
is reached the flood will not only be
the greatest in seventy-tive years, but
the most disastrous in the history of
the city. 1t is estimated today that
the loss from closing down the manu-
featuring plants alone, would exceed
half million, and that damage to
property from high water, would be as
much more Nine deaths are attributed
to thes flood 50 far.
Traffic Seriously Affected.
BY II o'clock the flood had reached
pennsylvania avenue and Sixth street
in this city. The lowlands of the AL
legheny and south side are submerged
and every mill and factory along the
banks of the Monongahela and Allie
gheny rivers have been forced to sus-
pend operations, while traffic on all
railroads entering Pittsburg Is ser
iously affected. In the lower Allie
gheny, the greatest excitement pre-
walls, and scores of people are being
taken from their homes in skiffs. The
street cars between Pittsburg and Ale
gheny have stopped running.

UNCLE SANS REFORMS,

A remarkable Transformation is likely
to result from the changes which have
come in with the now year wherever
Uncle Sans laws prevail Beginning with
yesterday IT became unlawful to issue
free transportation on railroads engaged in
interstate commerce. and in accordance
with the Interpretation of the law made
by the interstate commerce commission
It is not permissible to accept anything
except money for transportation. It has
been customary for many newspapers to
advertise for railroads and take mileage
books or other form of TRANSPORTATION in
exchange, but according to the opinion of
the commission this custom opens the
way TO abuses SO that cool cash must
henceforth be the only medium OF ex-
change between railroads doing an In
terstate business and newspapers.
Another noteworthy change which went
into effect with the new year was the TAX
ing effect of the law making it unlawful
TO sell whiskey except under label which
tells the ingredients of the product and
the age of such product. Coincdent with
this change is that making it lawful tc
sell denaturized alchohol without the pay.
ment Of an internal revenue tax
The pure food act, which took effect
yesterday, makes 1t unlawful to practice
deception IN labelling food products OF
drugs. The act provides that foods, drugs
and liquors shall be sold on their merits
the packages holding thom to bear labels
stating in detail the constituents of such
. products Sufficient time is allowed ir
connection with the pure food law to ena
BILE the interests affected to adjust them
selves to the new conditions. but 1t will
naturally require a considerable time fol
things to run smoothly under the new law
