Cincinnati, o.. Jan. 19-Nith the crest
OF the flood not yet i'm sight, and a pros
pect Of near approach to the loss Of
February. 1884 attempts were today made
to estimate the losses from the present
flood in this city. The commission houses,
which are principally located in the low
lands, have already suffered damage es-
timated at 100000. Many thousands will
be lost by the factories through enforced
idleness and unprOductiveness. and more
than 10000 employees will lose wages. Not
less than 1900 persons have been driven
from their homes, most of them being
forced TO depend on charity for their focd
and lodging.
Reports from river cities both above
and below Cincinnati. continued TO come

some of the nearer flooded towns refu-
gees came to this city and are lodged
wherever quarters can be found Ports

I'm the Ohio at that point. that and the
flood from the other tributaries holding
back the regular high water from higher
up the river. so that the second rise
seems sure TO Overtake the main flood
and increase its damage.

Worry the Republicans.

Washington. Jan. Ex-senator Lodge
talked with the president today about the
Black burn amendment to the Foraker res
olutiOD which declares in effect that the
presidents legal right 10 dismiss the ne
gro troops at Brownsville should not be
questioned.
The senator was asked as he was leav-
ing the White House what had been de-
cided upon as TO the administrations at
titrde toward the amendment, to which
he replied: wen be wiser on Monday
Senator Lodge said that the Foraker
resolution appeared TO be satisfactory to
all concerned.
what are you going to do about the
Blackburn amendment he was asked.
wei. you can't get off the track" he
replied.
Senators who saw the president today
with regard to the Blackburn amend
ment unite in expressing the opinion
that he would be satisfied to have the
Blackburne amendment to the Foraker
resolution upon the Brownsville SUBJ
ject voted down in case there should be
solid Republican vote to that end,
The Republican leaders confess their
complete inability to say whether they
can secure such unanimity, and as q
consequence no one will attempt now
to forecast the outcome OF the question.

Louisville. Ky, Jan. 19.-The flood sit

The introduction OF the resolution

of the closing session of what will be
known for years as one Of the most
important and significant national
gatherings of livestock men ever held

SEPARATED But
NOT DIVORCED
Arrangements Concluded Be-
tween the Duke and Ouch
esS of Marlborough.

London. Jan. 19.-The conferences which
have recently been going ON between rel
atives. lawyers and others concerning the
differences between the Duke and Ouch
ess of Marlborough have resulted in an
arrangement by which their affairs will
not be brought before the courts and a
separation will be effected without pub
licity. This was largely brought about
through the Intervention of royalty.
which is DESTROYS of averting public pro-
ceedings involving the ancient ducaI
house. The following is believed to en-
body the most essential features of the
arrangement:
Through the intervention of the Mar
quis of Lansdowne, the dukes uncle, the
duchess has been induced to take a po-
stion favorable to an adjustment. The
duke and duchess will live apart. the
duke retaining Blenheim palace and con-
tinuing to enjoy the 100000 a year set
tied upon him by the duchess family,
with the custody of their two sons for six
months each year, the control of their
education until they become of age, and
the choice of their profession.
Still Dukes Wife.
On the other hand. the duchess will
enjoy the use of the Marlborough family
Jewels and will have precedence as a
dukes wife with the right to take her
sons with her to any part of the CONT
nent during their holidays. but without
Interfering with their studies after the
age of a. 1t is also said that the agree
ment exacts that the boys shall not be
taken to America for an extended period
until they reach the age to choose a
place OF residence for themselves. The
Young boy. Lord Iver Charles Spencer
Churchill, has been Ill at Blenheim with

places is miles wide. Tonight the river
is still rising at the rate of three inches
