uuUUIJlJ
The l'latte river has been rising
very rapidly and has caused much
damage to bridges and railroad
property. Great gorges of ice have
collected above the bridges and
either taken them out entirely, or
wrecked tlieni no badly that many
are unsafe for travel. The
L'nion Pacific bridge at Valley, the
Hurlington at Ashland and Rock
Island at South Head all lost part
of their spans. The Missouri Pa
cific bridge at Louisville was
slightly damaged but will be safe
with a little repairing. The Fre
mont bridge, over which a great
deal of the country trade reaches
Fremont, has been seriously dam
aged. The structure is 2,(KK) feet
long and has sacrificed ten spans to
the rolling rush of ice and water.
At Oreapolis the Hurlington and
Missouri Pacific have passed
through the ordeal without a
scratch, although two men lost
their lives in their protection.
ScHENXKCTADY, N. Y., March LI.
Last night the ice in the Mohawk
gorged against the Fitchburg rail
rord bridge and Hooded that part
of the city occupied by the West
inghouse and General Electric
companies and the first floors of
the Kdison company, aggregating
eighteen acres, is under three feet
of water. Four thousand men are
idle by the shutting down of these
plants. A mile south of the city, at
the point where the tracks of the
Delaware & Hudson Canal com
pany pass under those of the New
Tork Central A Hudson Kiver road,
the foundation of the latter road is
is washed away, stopping all traffic
bilwveen this city and Albany n
the main line. Passenger trains
are sent around by way of Troy.
No trains are passing over the Del
aware & Hudson River road. All
the exhibits which the Kdison com
pany was preparing for the world's
fair were practically destroyed by
water, as is also most of the ma
chinery and stock on the first lloor.
The loss is estimated at over half a
million dollars.
Ai.hany, N. Y., March l:i. -The
freshet in the Hudson river is the
highest since 1 Ss;i. The lower part
of the city is under water. The rail
roads and street cars are blocked.
TlY, N. Y March U-Thc Hud
son river continued to rise until 7
o'clock this morning, when a point
twenty-two and oiif-half feet above
low water mark was reached, the
water being thirteen feet higher
than at noon Saturday. Since then
the water has been receding and no
more trouble is anticipated.
C.KANit Rapids, Mich., March
The Grand river is raising at the
rate of two inchesan hour tonight
and at 11 o'clock was sixteen feet,
eight inches above low water mark.
The major portion of south Grand
Rapids, which is built on the flats,
is inundated, and persons were re
moved from the houses in boats.
At this point the river is u. mile
wide and the loss will be heavy,
falling on the poor Hollanders em
ployed in the furniture factories. A
portion of the city is in total dark
ness tocight. Theelecrictlight plant
being partially submerged, was
forced to cut otf all towers on the
system. The Grand Rapids chair
factory. Michigan barrel works,
Stowe Jc Davis' bakery and Jay
Mason A Co, and other furniture
factories nt the north end report
heavy losses of logs and lumber. A
report has just reached here that
the North Park railway bridge
thiee miles above the city, has
gone out If this is true it will take
the Canal street toll bridge. A very
heavy rain is falling and grave
fears hre felt, as an ice jam is re
ported twelve miles down the river,
The Evening Press has been forced
out of its home. All trains are from
three to four hours Into.
Ioxa, Mich., March 13.--It in now
believed that the water has
reached its height at this place.
Forty families have been driven
out of their homes on the flats.
Trains are now making regular
time, though with much difficulty
The brake in the Detroit, Lansing
Si Northern 'track at Portland has
been repaired. The ice gorge above
Mtiir has slowly gone to pieces and
is still going down. A dispatch
from Grand Haven, near the mouth
of Grand river, says that the river
there Is rapidly raising and dock
owners are preparing for a flood.
The river is clear at the mouth, but
large fields of ice are coining down
A farm house near Newtonville
was washed away and its accupants
narrowly escaped with their lives.
RoI'XDout, N. Y March i:t. -The
ice gorge in Rouudout creek, be
low Kddyville, gave away about
'AM o'clock this afternoon and let a
termendous rush of water down the
creek. The steamboats of the Cor
nell Steamboat company and about
fifty canal boats were swept into
the river and driven helpless down
the stream. Many of them were
badly damaged. The steamers Pat
tson and Adriatic, valued at $lS.m0
were badly stove in and it is feared
they will sink. A number of canal
boats were crushed like eggshells
and sank in the creek. Since Satur
day the water above the ice dam
has been breaking up and Eddy ville
has been inunated. The rain Satur
day night caused the river to raise
fully eight feet and thousands of
dollars of damage has beei done.
The boats in the river aresurrun
ded by light wedged ice and it
will be impossible o reach Ihein
tonight. Many people on the boats
had narrow escapes, but no loss of
life is reported. It is thought that
the loss of the Cornell fleet will be
about $ 10.(100. There is no insurance.
The canal boats ere loaded with
ice, valued at $,0u0, partly insured.
The loss to the Deleware ami Hud
son companies will exceed $-,0l 0.
The ferryboat Transport, which
made her first trip today, was
caught in the Hood and is now in a
helpless position, being wedged in
between many other boats. She
had several passengers on board
when the flood struck her and con
siderable excitement prevailed.
'rhey managed to escape, however,
by jumping on the floating ice and
making their way to firmer ice.
Ptlll.ADKI.l'lll , P., March lit.
The floods in the eastern section of
Pennsylvania sire abating, and no
further damage of a serious nature
is anticipated. In the mining re
gions a Number of mines have been
Hooded, throwing probably 4,000
men and boys out of work. It is
expected that mining will be re
sumed in a few days.
At Reading two houses in the
course of erection collapsed, their
walls having become water soaked.
Four workmen were severely hurt.
At Williamsport a water main
supplying the western portion of
the city was broken and the con
tents of the reservoir was emptied
into the river.
Davkximkt. Ia., March !:.
There was a general movement in
the ice in (rout of the city during
the night, but the gorge a mile be
low was unbroken at noun. On the
Rock Island side, from Seventeenth
to Eighteenth street, blocks of ice
were piled up forty feet high. The
Diamond Joe warehouse was crush
ed. The Hurlington and Rock Is
land tracks on the river front in
Rock Island are blockaded by ice.
unless the gorge breaks soon a
great amount of damage will be
done. The ice between this city
and Rock Island went out this af
ternoon without doing furtlur
damage. The stage rose to four
teen feet at the time the gorge
broke and then began slowly sub.
siding. The river is reported clear
for twenty miles above.
Lkavenwokth, Kan., March III.
The Missouri river at this point
rose three leet during last night
and today and this evening is ris
ing at the rate of four inches an
hour. Several hundred feet of the
recently constructed dyke opposite
the city is submerged and it is
(eared most of it will go. Much
damage in other directions is
feared.
KAIULANI AT WASHINGTON.
The Princess of Hawaii Received by
President and Mrs. Cleveland.
Washington. D. C, March i:i.
The Princess Kaiulani and her
suite attended services at the Epis
copal church twice yesterday. This
morning the callers were numerou-,
composed principally of naval offi
cers and travelers who have visited
the Hawaiian islands and there
made her ncuaiutancc. The prin
cess went out (or a walk in the
morning.
At ."Vim this afternoon President
ami Mrs. Cleveland accorded a spe
cial reception to the princess, the
meetiuir taking place in the blue
parlor. The princess was accoin
pauied by Mr. and Mrs. D.tvis, their
daughter and a lady friend. The
call was entirely ol a social nature
and lasted probably a iiarter of an
hour. The visitors were charmed
with the cordiality of the reception
accorded them, the ladies bcinir
captivated by the pleasing manners
of the wife of the president, and
the princess said subseiuenily that
Mrs. Cleveland was the only lndy
that she ever fell in love with.
During the day Mr. Davis, unac
companied by the princess or mmj
of bis family, called on Secretary
Gresham. This visit, like thai to
the white house, was a purely social
one.
Mr. Paul Neiiman, the envoy of
(Jueen Liliuokalani, also called on
Secretary Gresham during the afler-
noon.
Gossip as to the personnel of Hit
commission that will probably I e
appointed to visit the Hawaiian is-
lands includes the names of J ii(lg
Martin V. Montgomery, of Miclu
gnu. late of the District of Colum
bia supreme bench; Gen. Scholleld.
Admiral Ilrown and Capla n II. L.
Ilowisson. Gen. Scholicld a;is ;i
member of the commission that
visited Hawaii ninny years ago, and
Admiral Drown's last cruise to that
country, ('apt. Howison is now at
the Mare Island navy yard. He is
said to be peculiarly fitted for the
mission by reason of hi service in
Hawaii, and navy ollicers generally
agree that he is one of the best
equipped men in the service for (Im
position. Dr. Mott Smith, the Hawaiian
minister, does not regard the f p.
pointment of a commission with
much favor. "If a commission is
appointed, of course we will accept
it," he said. " It can serve no good
purpose that I can see. All possible
information is at hand, and nothing'
new can be ghvnied. Although
Minister Stevens is ii republican, it
seems to me that bis opinions and
information, coming from an Amer
ican citizen, would be as valuable
b the present administration as
they were to the lut. Delay is nil
I can see from the appointment of
an American commission. Hie
case is being jeopnrdi.ed by the
delay in the meantime. A native
government is simply impossible
henceforth, in the face of every
thing that has occurred. What Kai
ulani, poor child, wants I do not
know. She can not assume the
throue, for her aunt has not abdi
cated. I do not see ho-v the United
States government can put her on
the throne and ignore the existence
and prior claims of the queen. I
am dreading some personal quar
rel between the United Smtes ami
England that will give the latttr
power an opportunity to step in and
assume an aggressive attitude, i
see that a squabble has occurred
already. It is to be hoped that tu
serious rows will happen. In cuse
the I'uited States refuses to mine
Hawaii the provisional government
in my opinion, would struggle to
maintain the independence of the
islands."
No orders have been issued from
the treasury department, us stated
in San Francisco dispatches, for the
revenue cutter Rush to prepare for
a trip to Hawaii for the purpose of
Carrying a commission to be ap
pointed by the president. Another
San Francisco dispatch received
this morning, stating that the post
office authorities here had issued
orders for the detention of the
steamship Australia from Wednes
day until Frida) in order that she
might earn important advices to
Honolulu, is ascertained on inquiry
to be equally destitute of truth. V,
Husiness is booming -so are the
rivers.
