Vienna, Feb. 15 ? The report is circulated here that the
Shah of Persia has been assassinated. No confirmation has
been received. There have been revolutionary manifesta

the exhibitions made by the present shah of extra luxurious
tastes and disregard for the rights of the people and the
levying of heavy taxes. These have been more frequent
since the return of the shah from his famous trip through
Europe.

Washington, Feb. 15. ? Senator Clay
made * bitter attack upon the Aldrich
bill for the inauguration of a system of
elastic finances. He was followed by
others in the same vein.
Clay made a direct reply to the speech
of Aldrich of the other day in which
the latter so severely attacked his crit
ics. Clay's speech was a repetition of
these criticisms with more severe stric
tures. He said the bill was a purely
Wall street measure, not intend d to
remedy the evil but rather to Increase
it by adding bonds upon bonds as a
basis for tbo issus of notes, wbile ev
erybody knew that the real trouble in
every financial emergency was the in
security of the security offered for note
issues.
Captain John Irving, who left for his
home in Victoria a few days ago, s''Ut
down operations on the Empress of
India before returning and will not re
sume until late- in ibe spring.

I Pittsburgh Feb. 15? The Mononga
heU is still rising as is also the Alle
gheny. The Point is under water.
The ice gorge has not yet broken. The
water is well over the locks above the
city. Anxiety for the fate of the great
coal fleet now tied up to the levee is
threat. A number of the laden barges
have been- sent away trusting to the
high waters on the lower river rather
than take chance with the run of ice
from above. The greatest flood of the
long history of floods in this city is
looked for with the breaking of the ice
gorge.
