Flushing. Apill 22 -The flood Is
over. Notwithstanding the fact that
in the eatly day there was every evi
dence of n lenewnl of the high water,
the announcement can be made au
thodltatlvely tonight that there Is nof
the least danger of another rise at
this point, nor for the piesent, but
towns on the Ohio tlver below here
aie not et out of danger, because of
tains in thevalley last night undtodav.
All up liver points teport the rain and
snow having ceased and the livers
falling.
The Ohio legistered 19.S at the dam
heie at 7 o'clock, and falling. Fore
caster Fiank Rtdgway says it would
lequire a steady downpour of rain for
twenty-four hours to check the fall,
and from present indications such a
thing N not likely.
The rivers about this city are down
so that the works along the banks are
1 uniting. There is a groat deal of
cleaning up to be done. The flood
In ought in much slimy mud that it
lefr when ir 1 needed and it will recilliro
a day or two to remove it from many
of the mills. In a number or places
this mud has clogged up the mnchln
erv. some of which will have to be
taken apart and be cleaned.

maikably well fioin the effects of the
Hood and snow stoiin, and now the
various lines have le.sumed operations
to all points; but for seveial days no
pietension at 1 mining on schedule time
will be made
A look aver the gtoutul after tho
flood shows that the losses will be
lillly as gieat as was estimated yes
terday. In and about Pittsbuig It will
piobably take $1,000,000 to pay the to
tal cost of the Injuiy to piopeity bv
the water and by landslides. Add to
this, the gieat loss to tho inlltoaiis
and manufacluiing plants up and
down the livers in this Imemdiatu
vlclnitv, with the loss In wages to the
woikingmon, and the total will not
fall tar short of the $2,000,000 niaik.
The woik of cleaning up is going on
eveiywhoie in the Hooded distilct.
Most of the water front mills and fac
toiles aie still idle and will be until

FILIPINO SAILORS IN NAVY.
Fear That They May Prove a Men
ace to American Seamen.
Washington. April 22. The question
whether Filipino sailois will enter into
competition with American sailors is
laised by the order of the piesldent,
w hlch provides that natives of the
aichlpelago enlisting in the navy shall
locelve only half the pay of men en
listing from this tountiy. Five hun
dred Filipinos will lie enrolled, and
they will be eligible as coxswains, sea
men, ordinary seamen, machinists, fire
men, coal passers, itewaids anil cook
anil mess attendants.
The cutting of the rate of pay Is Jus
tified at the Navy deparement by the
statement that it is In accoidunce with
the amounts now paid by the met chant
maiino of the islands. However, the
order practically cuts off from employ
ment 300 American sailois, and by
many here Is tegaidod as a menace to
those already employed, since it in
directly lowers the slandaitl of lemun
eiation. FATAL EXPLOSION

GOVERNOR STONE
IS SUSTAINED
Supieme Comt Decides as to the
Constitutionality of His Action
on School Appropriations.
By Hvclmlve Wire fiom The Vnfociitid Pic
Philadelphia, Apill 22. The Supieme
com I today sustained the constitution
ality of Governor Stone's action In cut
ting off by a veto $1,000,000 from the
public school appropriation made by
the state leglslatuie in 1898. The gov
ernor's light to veto certain parts, ot
appiopriatton bills was canied to the
Supreme court by the Patton township
school district of Centre county, on an
appeal liom the decision of Judge Love
of that county, who held that the veto
of the governor was constitutional. The
township's school board Instituted pro
ceedings to recover its portion of the
money which was lost to the Centre
county schools by the goveinoi's veto,
and applied, to Judge Love lor a man
damus. The petition was lefuscd, and
the case was immediately canied to
the Supreme com t.
The right of the governor to leduce
appropriations had been the subject of
much inteiest throughout the state,
and .several suits. Instituted by school
districts to test the legality of the gov
ernors action, are now pending. Tho
decision of the .Supreme coutt today
will probably cause the abandonment
of these suits.

Mnnila, April 22. A lepicsentatlve
of tiie Associated Pi ess visited Umlllo
Aguinalelci this nf let noon at ST. Solano
stieet, whither he was removed from
Malncan, and found hltn In a largo
roptn upstalis, furnished with a tnble,
a typewriting machine nnd twculv
chaii.. Ills wife, who was entertain
ing a number of Filipino women
friends, sit at one end of the loom,
while Aguinaldo, smoking a cigar ami
chatting with Benito Legal do, occupied
the opposite comci.
Others piesent wore Lieutenant Col
onel John S. Marjory, Forty-fhst Vol
unteer infantry, -who has ehaige ol
Aguinaldo, Lieutenant Gilbert A.
Youngbeiy, of the Thhd artillery, anil
Mr. Fisher, General MacAi thur's pi I
vate seciofaiy.
Aguinaldo. whose beaiing was cour
teous and dignified, was diessed In
white, looked well and made an ex
cellent lmpiesslon. Legaido, who onlv
recently ictuinecl fiom the United
States, was telling him about the ttip
and he seemed Interested, smiled fre
quently and asked numeious questions.
He Inquired particularly as to Presi
dent McKInley and seemed anxious
to know -what was thought of him in
the United Stains- lie was intliei
reluctant to lalk for publication and
considered eveiy question carefully be
fore ansvveiing. He said ho was doing
all he could to assist in the pacifica
tion of the Philippines and expressed
Irtmself as surprised at what the
Amei leans had accomplished. When
ho was Hist captured, he wont on to
say, be 'wns greatly astonished to find
that a majoiitv of the Filipinos enlei
tained tho opinion that Ameiican .sov
ereignty was piefeiable to Independ
ence, but now he was Inclined to be
lieve that way himself. Ho explained
that sine; the dissolution of the in
suigent congress and the declination
of guerilla waifme the chiefs had op
erated to all Intents and purposes In
dependently. They -recognised him as
commander in chief, sending him re
poits occasionally and lie issued some
oidei.s, but tor the last .seven months
the admlnlstiatloii had been difficult,
as ho had boon almost ellscouniKitod.
Insui gents Uiged to Sunendei.
"I am now uiglng in tho stiongest
possible manner." said Aguinaldo,
"that all itisuigonts should sui render
and sweat allegiance to the United
States."
He expressed the opinion that Tinlo,
Luoban, Malvar and other representa
tive insmgents would .surrender as
soon as they came to understand the
nature of the niniiestv offered them.
He said he hoped that when the woik
of pacification was complete ami con
ditions weie settled the pilsoneis in
Guam would bo released. Alter ie
ferilng in gratelul terms to tho cotit
teous treatment accoided him by tho
mllltaiy authorities, he declared his
conviction that tho civil government
which will folhtv pacification would
realize the highest hopes of the Fili
pino people.
When questioned regaidlng the re
port that he would visit the United
States, he replied that he would llko
to do so, but had made no plans as
yet, placing himself entirely at the dis
posal of tho United States govern,
ment. In concluding the Interview ho
obseived:
"livety woul In my address to mv
