WANT MORE TIME.

Senators Will Try to Postpone the Pair for a Year.

HOST OF THEM ARE IN FAVOR OF 1893.

Cho House Committee Prepares to FUtlie BUI to Suit Chicago Ideas—The No Fair" Advocates Will Not Make

Hard Flglit.

THEY FAVOU DELAY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—The Senate is tor a fair In 1893. The sentiment is unmistakable on this point. For the rest, majority will bo in favor of Chicago. Senator lllscock said that ho would not Ball tho special committee together till ifter the bill came over from the House, it was evident that there was to be legislation by the other branch of Congress, and nothing would be gained by the penate going ahead now. It is understood that tho New York Senator favors tho postponement until lt?J8. Other piombers of tho committee agree with iiim. Senator AVilson, of Iowa, is even doubtful aBout holding an exposition so early. If his own ideas wore carried out 1896 would probably bo the time. Noarly every Senator who was seen favored postponement.

Representative Mills, of Toxas, who has boen regarded as tho head of the opposition in tho House to any world'i tair, said that he and tho others opposed to tho fair would content themselves with voting "no" when tho bill came bofore the House for final passage. Ho wid, further, that tho bill would, in his opinion, unquestionably pass the House.

WASHINGTON', Fob. 27.—At the meeting of tho world's fair committee Wednesday morning Mr. Springer offered a resolution, which was adopted, tailing upon tho Secretary of tho Treasury for information as to tho probable oost to the Government for tho roper care, preservation and return tho proper places of such an exhibit as it should desiro to make at the world's fair. Mr. Candler, the chairman ef the committee, undor instructions, forwarded tho resolution to Mr. Windom in tho afternoon. Mr. Candler insists, without objections from tho other members of the ommittoe, that the Government should have tho entire decision oi tho extent of its exhibit and that Congress should not undertake to make any appropriation for this purpose until the Treasury Department has been given an opportunity to submit its views upon tho subject. It is safe to predict that whatever appropriation is naked for this purposo will be given by Congress.

Mr. Frank moved that tho name of tho c.tty.a£_Ciiicac.i be inserted Iji the bill, and that the blU bo referred to a sub-committee. There was no objection to this, and a sub-committee was appointed, consisting of Mr. Candler, the chairman, and Messrs. Hltt and Springer, which will amend it for presentation to the House. It is expected that the sub-committee will be ready to report to the full committee by the end of the present week and that the bill will bo reported to the House the first of noxt week. Mr. Springer has consulted with Mr. Carlisle and is confi(lent that he can draw up such a measure as will overcome tho objections the latter gentleman urged against the two bills presented by tho world's fair committee. Under the provisions of the new bill tho Governors of the several States and Territories will oach select, two members, ono a Rapublican and the other a Democrat, to represent that State or Territory upon tho board ot commissioners, which will have sole jurisdiction over tho Government exhibit and look after the affairs ot the United States.

Mr. Mosbjr, tho mayor of-..Cincinnati, has asked Mayor Cregier to nominate A. T. Goshorn, of Cincinnati for direotorgoneral of the world's fair. Mayor Hosby asks this appointment on the ground that Ohio gave Chicago twentydan votes for the fair. Mr. Goshorn lias had experience as director-general of the oentennial exposition of 1870. He was knighte'd by one of tho foreign powers or the work he did in Philadelphia.

Away at London. NKW YORK, Feb. 27.—A London dis­

patch saysf Master Abraham Lincoln, the son ot the American Minister, and the grandson of the famous American War President, died last night after a protracted illness. He passed a restless night and d^y, and the physicians in attendance Mid out little hope. He was 17 years ot age.

The oausi of death was an operation performed last week, undertaken to relieve the patient of a deposit of fluid in the lett pleural cavity, which made breathing,-' difficult and retarded tho action ot the heart. The operation is familiarlyiknown as tapping the heart, it is not utpally considered clangorous, but was rahdored so in this case by the weakness 'of the patient. Tho young man was told ot the danger, but faced the orisiswith the same oheerful courage shown throughout his illness and assented-to the operation which gave him the one chance lor recovery. All the members of his1 family were gathered at his bedside during his last hours.

A SCAKE AT CINCINNATI.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 27.—The Ohio river is still rising at the rate of two inches an hour and was fifty-two feet four Inches high at midnight. Tho hope that Inspired evory body early in tho evening 1B somowhat weakened by the reports of the weathor bureau. There aro indications of snow and rain In the mountains in which the tributaries of tho Ohio have their source. Telegraphic advicos to the Commercial-Gazette say that farmers along tho Ohio are moving their stock to the higher lands and taking every precaution against loss.

It now appears certain that tho river will reach fifty-three feet without any additional rain-fall, and thore aro no moans of estimating tho amount of water yet to come down. Tho latest dispatches are far from encouraging. A serious acoident is roportod from Boattyvillo, at the headwaters of the Kentucky river, where, owing to tho rapid riso of the waters, a lumber boom broke and let loose 30,000 great logs, whluh at onoe started on a mad rush down the river, threatening destruction to every thing that oomos in their way. Another foot of water will be sufficient to Interfere with the entrance of trains at the Big Four depot.

Clnolnnatl is experiencing her first flood ot any considerable proportions since "the deluge'' of 1884. In fact, sinoe that time the river has rarely touched tho danger line. Wodnesday the water rose rapidly at the rate of two Inches an hour until the gauge showed flfty-ono feet six inohes at 7 o'olook p. m. This is seven and ono-half teet above the danger line, whiob WBB reaohed Monday night. All day Tuesday the occupants of tho houses along the publlo landing were moving their scanty effects to higher ground, and as there are thousands of these families their movements attracted more attention and were followed with greater Interest by the tens of thousands of visitors to the river bank than the more sober and prosaic efforts of business men to escape the flood.

All day Tuesday and 'Wednesday the people who olung to their second-story habitations watohed with great anxiety the steady rise of tho waters. Many, re momberlng the striking similarity between the action

Vt

the water this year

and in 18f4. and also alarmed at the rapidity of tne rise, abandoned their homes,' being taken out in boats whloh anchored under their windows and received them and their more important personal effects. No household goodB of any bulk could be moved in this way, and hundreds of families have abandoned their beds and furniture.

The citizens of Cincinnati are not generally alarmed at the present rise. The water in 1884 reaohed seventy-one feet and a fraction of an inch, nearly twenty feet ovor the expected rise. But when it is remembered that the water is seven feet above the danger line it is not difficult to appreciate the seriousness of the present situation.

The flood has reached many of the large business houses in the bottoms, and some flnns.havo been obliged to retreat from their ground floors. The interruption to business is serious and on aome streets nearest the river Is praotioally at a standstill.

OnG noticeable characteristic here is the sluggishness of the ourrent & this high stage of the water. This teads to the inference that tho '.Big Miami and the Kentucky rivers and other tributaries immediately, below here are pouring an unnfeual flood into the Ohio, and that this serves as a. sort of afdam that pltas .np the .water here and oheoks the rapidity, of its flow. The rain-fall was evidently less along the Ohio teibutaries of the Ohio, river than in Indiana,' Kentucky, West Virginia and Western:. Pennsylvania. 4

Points between here and Louisville, and below the mouth of the Kentueky, river, declare that the Ohio is rising a1 the rate of three inohes an hour, All 'tills indicate* that the water here |may be piled up to fifty-six feet by to-nigh^ when a downward.turn may be expected unless this is prevented by rain.

HAMILTOX, 0., -Feb.. 87.—The Big Jfiami. river, saachod its highest point at 818O Wednesday morning. Great damage was done to property along its oourae through^thi* olty. The surrounding country was, daring the early morn-t lng hours, oompletely submerged.) All trains entering this 0II7 were delayed for hours on aooount of bridges being washed away or made unsafe on account of the high water. Farmers on the bottom lands are heavy losers. Fences, and in many Instances stables, were carried away. At Seven Mile, a village north of Here, one life is known^ to have been lost in the flood, and it is reported that a whole family was drowned while trying to oross Four Mile, a small stream just north of tbe city, shortly after 7 o'clock.

WRECKED BY THE WIKI.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 27.—Brownsville, Tenn., six miles northeast ot Memphis, on the Louisvillo A Nashville road, was struck by a cyclone at 4 o'olook Tuesday morning.

The storm came from tho west, and reports are coming in that its track between Wichita rlvor and the Bprlngs is markod by wrecked farms and houses, prostrated trees and general dostruotion of property.
