A Too l.onK Related Explanation lobe oi Ivflect .Now The Public Mind IH Made up on tlie Bultjecl. Washincton, Feb. 17. In the senate yesterday afternoon Mr. (Juav created intense astonishment by making a er sonnl explanation. He said : "The first nssertion concerninj; my offi cial acts is that at some time or continu ously lictwcen the years ol 1K7'J and 1H82, 1 alone, or acting with another or others, used the monies ol the state of l J'QT rcnnsylvailia lor specuiniive or privuic purposes. I denounce tnis siaieineni as atisoluiely false. In 18(7 the demo cratic party ol Pennsylvania elected n state treasurer and an auditor gcncrnl, the financial olhccrs of the cohiimoii- wealth. A year or two later, pcudini; their terms ol office,''! became engaged in stock oiicration. In some transactions 1 was associated and jointly interested with a gentleman who was ut that time cashier of the state treasury. These transactions proved seriously disastrous, and I was coniiK'llecl to nay a portion ol losses ns well as mv own. In doing this, it became necessary to supply an alleged deficiency he had caused in the treasury. As a portion of the fund for this purpose, I borrowed 510(,- 0(10 from a gentleman who is at present my colleague in the senate. I gave him my judgment note therefor, the amount ol which note 1 paid to him, dollar for dollar, yearsago. Not until the beginning of a settlement of our losses was 1 aware that a deficiency eiUted, nnd 1 had every assurance that mv associate was able to arrv his share of the losses. My eon A LoulHlana Judge Accused of Taking Public Money. Washington, Feb. 17. Articles of im nenchtnciit against Judge Aleck Boamnn ol Louisiana have been prepared and will lie presented to the House this week. There arc at least a dozen articles, and they charge him, not only with using mlilic Iliads, but with Having allowed lis decisions to be influenced by financial considerations. The abstraction ol the public moneys consists in his having taken $1, UK) that had been paid into the Registry ol the Court, the clchcit being discovered when the clerk of the court died.

The Gaulois to-day publishes a dispatch from Hticnos Ayrcs which announces that the Chilian gov ernment troops have lieeu defeated at Coiuimbo and (Juillota. The same dispatch states that the in surgent forces are rapidly increasing in mmilK.'rs and that they arc advanc ing upon the capital, Santiago dc Chili. The Ooulois dispatch adds that only a few towns remain loyal to the govern ment. The destruction of the railways by the insurgent forces hampers the movements of the government troops. President Dalmnecdu is well supported in the capital and is said to be hopeful ol being able to repel the rebels. It is feared that the act of rebellion will be disastrous to the finances and com merce of the country. During the course of the battle fought at Taropoca. I k'i miles south of llo, the mines at Taropoca were set on fire and afterwards were flooded in anattcmpt to extinguish the flames. The German miners who were employed in the mines there fled into the interior. Toraoaco is only ten miles from the mouth of the river opening into the Pa cific ocean. So it is inferred that the des truction ol oroiicrtv at laropaea was the work of a binding party which came ashore from one of the Insurgent war vessels. The coal depots at Coronel have been mllaiicd by the insurgent sailors sent ashore to obtain coal for the rebel vessels Coronel is twenty-five miles south of C011- ceKion.

"The charge that securities belonging to the state of Pennsylvania were used in this transaction is false and impossi ble ol truth. Collateral to this last ac cusation is the charge that i defrauded or attempted to defraud, the widow of u deceased Iriend. This also is absolutely l'al:e. There breathes not upon the earth man or woman who can truthfully say that I ever defrauded or attempted to de fraud bim or he of a dollar. Ppon this noint charity to the (lead and to the liv ing forbids my making any personal ex planation.

Mr. Ouay's explanation was in brief, that he acted according to written opin ion of the attorney general which was filed along with the decision ol the par don board and he would do the same tlilno aL'aiii. Mr. (Juay then proceeded: "It is neces sary to" pass to history somewhat an cient in order to dispose of the ridiculous cluirce ol briliery and corruption ns nicmlicrof the Pennsylvania legislature live of St. Laurence county, N.

At 11 o'clock this morning both rivers stood at the twenty-six feet mark and rising at the rate of seven inches per hour. The high ivnter was very unexpected and all inc nearly twenty-live years ago, in cornice- morning families have lieen moving from tion with an action lor linel against tue tiinr houses in the lower part oi tue citv then editorsof the Pittsburg Commercial. With characteristic malignity my assail ants have lieen careful to emphasize the fact that the case was never pushed for trial. They fail to state that the liliel win retracted and that the defendant pleaded ioo aiitcmlcre paving the costs of the case and the fees of the coun sel. In the preliminary hearing an ellort was made to show that 1 was a rich Allegheny street is flooded to its door steps. The tracks ol tnc l iitsourg anu Western railroad are coverea in tue city and all travel at this end is stopi while the many mills lining the rivers have lieen forced to close. Reports from the head waters show stendv rains with the rivers still rising and the lower towns flooded.

The charge that he had once attempt ed to In ilK- an internal revenue suiicrvisor Mr. ( Itmv denounced as a malicious false hood, nnd in the same sweeping manner characterized the assertions that he had disbursed the corruption land raised to detent high license and had brought about the defeat of the prohibition amendment to the constitution ot L'ctin sylvatiia. Mr. I Uiay concluded as follows the river men sav the flood will lie hilly s high as in 1NN when .12 leet ol water was rcacacu and enormous losses in flicted in the low lying portion of the city and the river towns.

I deny them seriatim and in ioio; they arc false nnd foul to the core."
