the previous night traffic in the Lower Hay v,-*s
practically at" a standstill, iin.i craft on the rivers

Inland the fop was thick enough to Interfere
somewhat with the movements of the surface cars,
and. particularly in the lower end of Manhattan,
with trucks and other vehicles.
All Wednesday the rivers and bay were prac
tically sealed to everything except the railroad fer
ries and i!ie short, r ferry lines on the Ka«i River.
The »th street ferry to Sir>utli Brooklyn was tied up

ANNUAL REPORT OF HOSPITAL.
Manhattan Eye. Ear and Throat Institution
Tells of Its Work.
The thirty-seventh annual report of the board
of directors of the Manhattan Eye, Ear and
Throe I Hospital, the last report of in*- Institution
before it moved Into its new quarters In J-jist 64ih
street, deals largely with lbs reasons for the
chant?* of i»;isf and with the details of the nt-w
builiiins- The demands on the hospital had in
creased to such an extent that the old building at
No. lei Park avenue, with its somewhat antiquated
facilities and cramped quarters, foiled to mcc;
them satisfactorily, and the Increased value of the
old site aowiotm rated the poor economy of cor.
linuing there longer.
The plot on which th« new building stands
measures I-- feet by i"& feet and cost $125,000. On
It has been erected a modern reproof hospital
building, seven Tories high, which, with in
e..iuipir.e!it and exclusive of the Inr.d. cost ap
proximately 1600.000. There will be accommoda
tions for a hu!i«lre<t and twenty walft room
patients an.l thirty-five private rooQI patients.
The hospital receives no financial aid either
from the city or ti>»> state, being supported almost
entirely by contributions from charlfably Inclined
persons.

Boston. March 14,— William J. Bryan arrived !n
Boston this efternoon for a visit which will in
clude many receptions and speeches. The chief
object of Mr Bryan's visit was the delivery of an
address tn-nljrht :<t Tremont Temple, under the
auspice* of the Baraca class of the Second Con
gr«Rnti(inal Church of Dorchester. At the close
of tills address Mr. Bryan spoke to Harvard stu
dents at the Harvard Vnion.
T. Democratic state and city committees will
honor Mr Bryan during his stay here, and lie was
met at trie South Station this afternoon by a del
egation of prominent Democrats. A reception will
be held at the Qulncy House to-morrow, followed
by a dinner glv»n by the stiff committee. To
morrow evening he will speak at Providence. B. I.
Mr. ißrysn was driven immediately to the State
House, where hs was received at the Executive
office by Governor Guild. With Mr Bryan were
George Fred Williams and John Pfenj and Colonel
A. C. Drlnfcwater, of the Democratic State Com
mltteA. After paying his respects to the Governor,
Mr. Bryan visited the Legislature. He called on
the Senate first and was greeted with applsjise.
He spok* fly- leaving his more extended address
for the House. He dwelt: however, pn good govern
ment.
"Boom have said that a monarchy is the
f<t. ai aristocracj the wisest, and a democracy the
'in Of govern merit.' he said. "I am
very much of the opinion, however, that n demnc
racy te nor only the most .iust. bui i; la the strong
est .?r,.i wisest form of government, -s well."
Mr. Bryan ■nar tiled escorted to the Hons.^ and

thnt distinction. Put what the private ••itir.fn i«

Injr of the representative comes from the private
citizen."
Tne speaker paid that he accepted the theory of
government which declares that the representative
is the ag"iit of the people, and that the representa
tive lias no business to act except as be may set
for them.
"I say that the people hay» the r ij;ht to make
their own mistakes," Mr, Bryan asserted, "h'ikl
not have somebody else make them for them. I
mi not Hfrniri of the people. '• believe thai th* 1

He apoke at some length of the rate legislation
in Congress, anfl declared thnt the tardiness In
procuring the final Rate bill, with Us amendments,
a is .-. good Illustration of tlie influence thai cor
porate wealth exerts over legislation In this coun
try. He believed that the tendency to-day ■«:..•<
toward a more stiici control of corporations, but
lie did not think that this meant evil for the In
vestors.
"It means." declared Mr. Brvan, "thnt the nat
ural man whom <}o.| made shall not always be
trampled upon by the man-made Klant that tlie
Legislature has created."
Ii was no wonder. he said, fiat President Roo!«e-

.I'il'.n <•'•••• rr. r«r.n.. March 15.— 50 much of
Johnstown as was not kept up all night by fear
awoke to-dcv t>> find ■• city transformed Into
a lake, with surging; currents rapidly sweeping
fence*, gate«, steps and aU kinds of debris along
the streets. It Is the highest water since the
great Rood of 1880, when over twenty-five hun
dred lives \\er>' lost, and the loss will run far
Into !he hundreds of thousands of dollars'.
Telephone and street railway systems are sus
pended. The main streets n# Impassable, and
tho'i-^nds .-. marooned in their homes. Houses
on high ground are packed tvith refugees who
have lied from the lower points. Where the
streets are not covered with water they are black
with people, many of them fearing that some of
t!v water subtly dams will break. There Is
really no <laiißcr from this Source', however, ns
••'M the water contained by any one of them

JOIXS WITH RAILROADS.
Interstate Commission Hears Com
plaint Against Shippers.
From The Tribune Bureau. 1
Washington, March -That the new Railroad
Rate law works both ways so far a- its penal
Ctaoses are •rn*d was emphasised to-day •when
the- Interstate Commerce Commission Joined hands
with a railroad in the beginning of a eaaagassa to
break up the alleged practice among shippers of
underbilling and making false reports of weigh:*
Of ears. The Seaboard A!r I.tne had complained
to the commission that false reports had been mad»
of welshta by the I.aurlnburg ON Company, at
Laurinburp. X. >'.. on cars tilled with cottonseed
shipped over th« road to the mills. The Seaboard
has other «*om plaints to make of other sjaaal a^i.
it Intiuiafed th- commission ■will be called on to
remedy similar complaints in various quarters.
Should any one be found guilty of rr.ak'.rg falsa
reports of weights, a prlaoa perta'tr is poasib!<?. It
■was noticeable in tkw hssjriasj which the roasaßß>
«:on gave to-day : ". the I^aurlnburs case that thoj»
against whom suspicion is directed as having
crdered th© falsifjins of reports were not called
on to give testimony. This would seem to i::dicat»
that ■ M commission has in view the turning over
of th« evidence obtained to the Department of Jus
tice for prosecution, it the facts brought cut tiff
such .i course.
\V. McX. l.vt ■.. superintendent of the I^uria
burg company. testlnej that James A Jones pre?-
Meat of the company, baa told him that ha had
decided to make .i reduction on th<» weights last
October, in order friar '.is company mlsht get even
with the Seaboard Air IJne for r^fustriff to pay
for the repairs to the sca'.es on which the cars
loaded with need were weighed as they were
brought Into th-» mills by the road. In October.
November and .December 190*, US cars were re
ceived, and it was given as evidence that th»
wrlgjht of each of these was reduced from 2,'JW
to 10.000 pounds.
W. I* Ooburn. th? «|ferf of ths Feaboani at
I^iurinburg. testified that Jones had tohi hi^! that
he- determined on makiner the reduction, and L» B-
Johnson, the district ma: .i, of tho Southern ts
si>ect:on and weißliing bureau, said that a similar
statement had been made to him. Johnson sa!d
iliat Jones toKt htm he had decided en this eosssa
after he had talked with the old rain." James
McXear, the owner of the I.aurinburg mill, ns well
j<s the. mill at I.umbertorr. asr: 1 .!: woiet similar
charges have been made, is wild to tan b»en re
ferred, to frtejatntly ks t:: "old iran" by those
about, the mills.
The first suspicion that th* weights were less
than they should hay* b*en was awakened whea
an owner of cottonseed began to weigh hi* ship
ments. The returns did not correspond. The rail
road officials were told of this, and they in turn
demanded th» risht to inspect the welsh books of
the company, It was found, it was a!les:e3. that
two sets of books were betnc kept, showing differ
ent weights for tbe name car.
It was brought out in the t»PtinT»ny that when
the president of the company became aware that
charges of falsifying' the weights had been mad*
he remarked, •■kinsrlr. that he was sorry that th»
thing hart bee:- found out so soon.
As soon as tbe railroad had mail? an Investiga
tion of the matter Silas H. Smith, special agent,
was sent to make dm Investigation for the com
mission, tinder the direction of Luther M. Walter,
attorney for the commission.
No witnesses were presented by th* officials of
the mills to-day, although Superintendent Jones i*
in the city. Commissioner Prouty. whi> took »h»
testimony, will turn .t over to fhs entire commis
sion for decision and action. .
