Five bullets from thirty eight calibre gun used by Westbrook lodged in Taggart's body mortally woundiug him, while Westbrok was shot six times with a 44-calibre re- volver.

ra lroad canal bill was introduced in the House yesterday by Repl esenta- tive J. Hampton Bore, of Pennsyl- yania. 1t was moi however i'll Root dropped his bill into the hopper tAat tLe amendment became distinctly identified with this effort to reverse rs own rul ng and Dermi! the .all- roads to nave their own way with the canal.
 Tha law as it now stands is:
 When based upon the net register ed tonnage for ships of commerce the toll shall not exceed $l.25 per cent registered aon, nor be less, other than | for vessels Of the United States or lts citizens. than the estimated propor- 1 tiorate cost of the actual ma tenance,
 The word "other than for vessels of the United States and its citizens are repeated in the Root bill and ihls strikes out the last vestige of dis crimination m favor of Americans who have paid for the canal an1 makes the United States mavy subjec to the payment of toll, on all-fou1 with Great Britain, Germany Or aEj other power.
 The cabinet meeting which was tt discuss the canal subject today II it's ralat ons with Great Britain, ha( only an informal talk, but came t( no definite conclusion on learning thf. Root had introduced his Canal railroad bill.
 If this bill can be put throuSl Congress, the necessity for meeting tho British demands for arbltratlol will cease.
 The bill will be used as pre'ex for reopening the discussion of thu whole question: For some time certain group of senators have bee' arguing that if discriminat on is violation of alleged treaty obligation thay would favor repeal rather fIhal arbitration. This position nds som Democratic champions. senate Root gave notice that he would ad dress the Senate on his bill Januar 21.

FLOOD SITUATION LITTLE IMPROVED Damage to Extent of $10,- 100000 Done Along
 Mississippi. TOWN IS INUNDATED 1t Toledo Stage is Twelve Feet Above Normal Believed Worst
 is Passed.
TOWN IS INUNDATED

St. Louis, Jan. l4.--Reports from the flood district on the Ohio, Cum berlard and Mississippi river: show conditions but little improved today. AS the rain, has ceased it is hoped that the waters will soon stop ad- vancing. In the meantime the relief work continues and those stranded in the lowlands are being moved to higher ground.
 It is as yet impossible to estimate the total amount of damage that has been done, but it is safe to say that it will run close to $10,000,000 The loss of life as yet has been small The Ohio river today showed but slight the two points where the greatest damage was feared.
 At Cairo it is expected that the riv- CT will continue to rise slightly un- til tomorrow night, while at Ports mouth the river late tonight started to go down. The crest of the flood along the Ohio river probably will be reached by Sunday and if in the meantime there are no heavy rains the worst will be passed. Considerable damage and trouble has resulted from seepage through the levees along the Ohio, but forces of men are working on the weak spots and it is not expected that there will be any serious breaks in the levees
 A part of the town of New Boston near Portsmouth, Ohio, is under wat CT and many families are being taken care of in schools and other build ings.
 i At Toledo, Ohio, the river is still rising slightly and is twelve fee above normal. Packed ice is causing some damage. The gorge extends fol half a mile in front of the business part of Toledo.
 At Lewisville, Ky, and neighborin: towns and cities, conditions are littl' changed. The water in the mail seems to be at a standstill and it il generally thought that the worst i passed.

WHITE RIVER FALLING
 DANGER IS NOW OVER
Situation Near Batesyille Looked "Saually" For Day or Two.

Batesville, Jan. 14.-For time It wac feared the rise in White river here might cause considerable dam age, and people who live on the is- land and in the lowlands were mak- ing arrangements to move out. But the report today is that the river IS falling and it is believed now that all danger of rise passed with the com ing of colder weather. A landslide ten miles above here on the White river division of the Iron Mountain, caused by the heavy rains, did con- siderable damage to the railroad, and all trains were delayed Sunday in that direction from six to eight hours.

 The scramble for clerkships in both branches of the legislature was the usual one.
 There was general Kicking against the accommodat ons for the legislaturemen who are in session for the first time in the million-or- more-dollar Capitol because the fur nishings of the House and the Senate are niggardly.

 The popular excitment attendant | upon the opening day had Quleted down in the House Tuesday morning 1 and the lawmakers under the nm d. rection of Speaker Hardage got down to business.
