THE DAY IN CONGRESS
THE TWO PER CENT, LOANS ON
LAND BILL WANING.
Last of the Appropriation BUI
General Deficiency Reported to
the House.
Washington, Feb. 17. The
diplomatic and consular appropri
ation bill passed the senate to-day.
In the house to-day an amend
ment to the Indian appropriation
bill was agreed to, appropriating
$940,000 to carry out the agree
ment with the Urow Indians in
Montana.
Under instructions from the
committee on finance, Senator
Morrill, chairman of that com
mittee reported adversely to tl e
lenate. Stanford s bill "to provide
the government with means suffi
cient to supply the national want
for a sound circulating medium,"
involving loans on land at two per
cent intereet. Tbe report com
pares the measure to the Argen
tine republic and colonial country
scheme, both of which, say the
committee, resulted in shame and
disaster.

bill general deficiency was report
ed to tbe house this afternoon. It
carries a total of $36,574,308. A
large part of this is $28,678,332 for

IMPORTANT POINT OF LAW.
There Is No Such Tribunal as
County Commissioner Couit.
Pobti.and, Feb. 17. An import
ant point of law, which will be of
interest to counties contemplating
the building of county bridges, was
decided by Judge l)eady in the
case of the Pacific Bridge Company
vs Clackamas county. The court
held that tbe mention of the
"board of county commissioners"
in Section 4, 141, of the compila
tion of 1887, relating to the con
tracts for the building of county
bridges ia null and void, because
there is no such ti ibunal known to
the constitution of the laws of Or
egon as a board of county commis
sioners, and the legislature might
as well have said "the board of
missions."
A Bif Sale of Horse Flesh.
BuffaIjO, Feb. 17. The biggest
sale of trotting horse-flesh recorded
in many a day took place yester
day in this city, whereby General
Rufus L. Howard sold the entire
stock of his farm, including the
celebrated stallion Wilkie Colling,
by George Wilkes, valued at $25,
000, and ninety otaer brood mares,
stallions and youngsters, to W. J.
White of Cleveland. General
Howard is now 73 years old, and
in ill-health, which accounts for
his willingness to part with his
stock at any price. Mr. White is
the owner of the stallion Russia,
out of Nutwood, and is now build
ing palatial stables and a half-mile
track on his hundred acre farm,
known as the Two Minute farm,
eight miles out of Cleveland. The
negotiations for the sale were car
ried on by wire last Saturday, and
yesterday Mr. White came here,
looked over the outfit, drew his
check, and said: "Send them to
me when my stables are finished."

making preparations to move out
at any moment. The Loyal Hanna

Huntington, Penn. Feb. 17.
Rain has fallen here in torrents
for 36 hourx and the Juanita river
is a mile wid-. The citizens of
Portstown and Smi:hfield have
b en coin pel Id to vacate their
homes and many bridges have
Oeen 6wept away. The loss is
very heavy. At McKeesport the

Pittsblhg, Feb. 17. At 11
o'clock this morning both rivers
stood twenty -s.x feet, and vti
rising at the rate of seven inches
per hour. All morning families
have been moving from houses at
Liower Allegheny. Travel on the
Pittsburg & Western road in this
city has been stopped, while many
mills along the river have been
forced to close. Reports from the
head-waters show steady rains,
with rivers all rising and lower
towns flooded. Bridges are being
carried away in every direction,
and the loss is great.
Joii.vsTow.v, Pa,, Feb. 17. The
water receded some during the
night, but is again within six
inches of the highest point yester
day. All Cambria and the lower
part of the city from the Windsor
hotel is under water.
Helena, Ark., Feb. 17. A con
tinuedrise in the river at this
place has caused considerable
anxiety along the levee.
I'lrrsBUBu, eb. 17. The pre
sent unexpected flood bids fair to
rival that of '84. The river hat
risen all day and is still going up
to-night. Allegheny City has eu.-
fered the most. Several streets
are under water. Great apprehen
sion is felt there as two natural
gas explosions to-night have en
dangered life and ruined property.
It is feared others may follow as
tbe meters and pipes are several
ieet under water and cannot be
reached. Mills along the river
have shut down because of flooded
fires and thousands of men are
die. On the Pittsburg side the
cellars and houses on loff ground
are being flooded and people are
beginning to move ont. Any fur
ther rise will do great damage, as
the high water limit has been
passed. Reports from the head
waters of the Mononghela and
Allegheny rivers show high water
and general distress. At Johns
town the dreadful btonv creek and
Conemaugh rivers stood at their
highest point all day. The heavy
stone bridge caused the water to
back up into town, a greater por
tion of which ia from four to six
feet under water. Eveiy house in
Cambria City is deserted and a
swift stream flows through the
Btreets. Late to-night the rivers
at those points began to fall rapid
ly, but people will not attempt to
return to their houses until it is
assured the flood is over.
Schnectady, N. Y.. Feb. 17.
There is a gorge in the Mohawk
river near here, and the river is
rsing ten inches per hour to
night. FEATHERWEIGHT BATTLE.
It Took SeTenty-Is Rounds to De
cide Which Was the Beat Han.
Minneapolis, Feb. 17. Feather
weights Danny Needham. of Cali
fornia, and Tom Ryan, of Chicago,
fought to-night at the rooms of the
Twin City Athletic club for a
purse of $1000. Needham fought
with a plaster on his hands.
The first round ended in Need-
ham's faver, after a sham inter
change of blows. In the fifth
Kyan poked his left into Need
ham's left eye. partly closinr it.
and thereafter persistently tiitd to
disable the other one, his tactics
being evidently to blind Nperfham.
Tbe latter was guarded, however,
anu aept piaymg ior Kyan 's wind.
In the 27th round Ryan rushed
right and left, petti nir in thioo
good blows and driving Needham
against the rope.
in am JNeedhan forced the
fighting, and in a clinch Ryan
tr:ed to throw him. Needham re
ceived a right hand smash which
swelled his upper lip.
In the 34th Ryan opened with
an awful right bander, which sent
Needham to the ropes. The latter
began to use his right freely and
there was some fierce lighting.
Many blows were exchanged with
out visible results, each taking
turns in rushing tbe other until
the 52d round, when Ryan rushed
JNeedbam to the ropes without
effect and narrowly escaped
knockout blow, getting two good
smashes in the neck. Up to this
time sporting men pronounced tbe
fittbt one of the most scientific
ever seen. At the end of the 60th
round, the referee announced he
understood the fight was to be to a
finish and that he wonld make the
men fight.
I was nox arnxTast ai
amTfastimd Ktarr scored
me nrst Diooa.
In the 76th round Ryan knocked
-eectam down repeatedly and only
the call of time saved him from
being knocked out. He was car
ried to his corner in a dazed con
dition. Before time was called
again his seconds threw np tbe
sponge.
