JORDAN REPLIES TO
SCHOOL BOARD AT TACK

San Francisco, Jan. l9.--In a signed
statement issued today David Starr
Jordan of Stanford university. replied
to the attack made upon him yester-
day By members of the local board OF
education for his remarks on the
Japanese school question. President
Jordan. speaking at BANQUET in this
city declared that the affairs with Ja-
pan should be settled in a gentlemanly
way and by gentlemen, rather than
from within "the shadow of the state
prison" and for that utterance he was
sharply criticised by the local school
board directors Here is DR. Jordan's
latest statement.
"In the language to which the
school board takes exception ] did
not refer to the schoo! board. The
members OF the board are hardly fac
tors In the national policy of the
United States. The school incident Is
a minor matter, except that II involves
the settlement Of certain questions as
the conflict OF laws. national obllga-
tiOns and states rights. These mat-
ters are for the courts 10 settle The
only essential noint Is that the immi-
grafton Of japanese laborers, which
most of us deorecate. can be honora-
bly, and legally checked In but one
way--that OF friendly cooperation
with the government of Japan.

Cincinnati, Jan. 19-With the crest
of the food not yet in sight and a
prospect of near approach to the
loss of February, 1884, attempts to-
day were made to estimate the losses
from the present flood i'm this city.
The commission houses, which are
principally located in the lowlands,
have already suffered damage esti-
mated at 100000. Many thousands
Will be lost by factories through en-
forced idleness and nproductiveness
and more than 10000 will lose wages.
Not less than $4,000 persons have
been driven from their homes, most
of them being forced to depend on
charity for food and lodgings
Reports from river cities both above
and below Cincinnati continue to
come in with pleas for help and food.
From some of the nearer flooded
towns refugees came to this city and
are lodged wherever quarters can be
found. Portsmouth saw the breaking
of the flood embankments and the
people fled I'm terror to the highlands.
The water from the Scioto is being
added to the flooded Ohio at that
point, that and the food from 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.
