—Grave Fear That a Dam
Might Break.
PtJEBLO, Col., June 1.—It has rained
incessantly for thirty hours nil over the
eastern part of the state. In this city
the Arkansas river broke the levee in
six places. From Union avenue viaduct
to the post office, %of a mile, all cellars
are flooded and the water rises 2 feet
above the lirst floor. The electric street
cars have stopped running-, the works
l>eing flooded. Hundreds of men are
out in boats rescuing* familes from
flooded houses and removing jjoods.
The five railroads entering the city are
tied up. The damage amounts to at
least $100,000. The flood is now reced-
ing and it is thought all danger in this
city is practically past.
Samp a. Col., June I.—The storm in
this vicinity was very severe. The Rio
Grande railroad is blocked by rock
slides, washouts and damage to bridges.
Canon City, Col., .June 1.—The rain-
fall here exceeded 5 inches and is the
heaviest ever known, Both the Itio
(Jrande and Santa Fe tracks east of
here are washed out in places and in
others covered with rocks and sand.
Manitou, Col., .June 1.—Apprehen-
sion was felt here last night lest the
dam at Lake Moraine, built to supply
Colorado Springs with water should
break, but Superintendent Rice says it
is secure. Tike's Peak railway has
been damaged by floods for the first
time since it was built and no trains
are running. The Rio Grande and the
Santa Fe railroads are blocked by
washouts and landslides.
Denver, Col., June 1.—The rain
which began falling here at 3 o'clock
yesterday morning' still continues.
I'latte river is higher than it has been
for many years, but no damage is re-
ported. Railroads running- west and
south are all tied up by washouts.
Topkka, Kan., June 1.—The Santa
Fe's advices from Colorado Spring's at
noon are that three bents of the
bridge across the Arkansas river at
Nepesta went out at 0 o'clock this
morning', that two more are going- and
that there are indications that the
whole bridge will be destroyed. There
is a big washout between Colorado
Springs and Colorado City and there is
danger that the shops and depot at the
latter city will be damaged greatly.
It is still raining a torrent at all points
on the western division and on the Col-
orado Midland.

nate a State Ticket.
Carrollton, Mo., June 1.—The state
prohibition convention met here this
morning with leading members of the
party from all parts of the state in at-
tendance. Bryan O. Cowan was ap-

Speeches were made by Elder E. W.
Thornton, of the Christian church; 1.
L. Christy and Mr. Hurnham. of New-
ton county; Mr. Murray, P. E. Shepard
and 1). Ward King. Mr. Rurnham said
the prohibitionists would carry Mis-
souri if it took them fifty years to do
it, and claimed that the principal rea-
sons so little business was transacted in
congress was on account of the legis-
lators indulging too much in intoxi-
cants. Nominations for the state offices
will be made this evening.
The Junior Prohibition league of the
state convened here also to-day. Miss
Cora Watson, of St. Joseph, was chosen
permanent Chairman and Kate Hlack-
inore, of Carrollton, permanent secre-
tary.

THURSDAY'S SENATE.
Hawaiian Resolution Passed—Lumber
the Free List—Sugar Schedule Reached.
Washington, June 1.—When the sen-
ate met to-day Mr. Turpie pre-
sented a set of resolutions adopted by
the legislature of Ohio protesting
against the Russian extradition treaty,
and Mr. Hill then offered his resolu-
tion directing the bribery investigat-
ing committee to open its doors. It
went over until to-morrow.
Mr. Turpie also reported from the
committee on foreign affairs the follow-
ing resolution as a substitute to the
Hawaiian resolution reported some
months ago:
Resolved. By the senate of the United States
that of right it belongs wholely to the people
of Hawaii to establish and maintain their own
form of government and domestic policy; that
the United States ought not in any way to in-
terfere therewith and that interference in the
political affairs of these islands by any other
government will be regarded as an act un-
friendly to the United States.
The resolution was then passed unan-
imously, fifty-five senators voting for
it. Mr. Mills did not vote.
Mr. Peffer offered a resolution, which
was appropriately referred, instruct-
ing the judiciary committee to report
whether the government of the United
States could by virtue of an act of con-
gress constitutionally take possession
of and hold for public uses, paying
compensation therefor, all the coal
beds of the country.
The tariff bill was then taken up and
the clause on rough timber voted down.
Mr. Allen moved to strike out para-
graph 17 as follows: "Lumber of any
sort, planed, 50 cents 1,000 feet board
measure, or if planed on one side and
tongued and grooved, 81 per 1.000; and
if planed on two sides and tongued and
grooved, $1,50 per 1,000, and in estimat-
ing board measure under this schedule,
no deduction shall be made on account
of planing, grooving or tonguing."
Mr. Vest surprised the republicans
when he announced that the amend-
ment would be accepted by the demo-
cratic side. As the amendments to the
lumber schedule were being voted on
without debate, under an agreement
made on Wednesday, the vote was im-
mediately taken and it was agreed to
—35 to 24—a strict party vote. Messrs.
Peffer and Allen (pops.),voting in favor
of it. This will have the effect of put-
ting all lumber on the free list.
The sugar schedule of the tariff bill
was then reached and Mr. Sherman, of
Ohio, took the floor to make a speech.
THE INVESTIGATION.
The New .Jersey Senator Closed Out All the
Sugar Deals in Good Time.
Washington, June 1.—The commit-
tee investigating the sugar trust re-
sumed its session to-day, leaving the
district attorney to deal with wit-
nesses who refuse to answer. Secre-
tary Carlisle has not been summoned
before the committee, and if he appears
it will be voluntarily.
Mr. McPherson reiterated the state-
ment he made recently on the floor of
the senate that when it became ap-
parent that sugar was to be made the
subject of legislation he had instructed
his broker to cease all dealings in sugar
stock in his name.
A little after 3 o'clock Secretary
Carlisle entered the room where the
committee hearing is in progress.
Killed With an 1 nihrella.
London, June 1.—(Jen. John Hevvs-
ton. of California, while walking in
(iray's Inn road last evening, was rude-
ly jostled by a band of itinerant musi-
cians. He remonstrated and the party
turned on him and struck him. He car-
ried an umbrella and used it to defend
himself. The point of the umbrella
entered George Rurton's eye. He was
taken to a hospital and there died last
nl"ght. An official from the United
States embassy visited the police sta-
tion and proffered bail for the release
of (Jen. Hewston, but it was refused.
He was arraigned this morning in the
Clerkenwell police court and was held
under bonds for trial next week.

New York, June 1.—The monument
near New Rochelle which marks the
resting place of Thomas I'aine was yes-
terday the Mecca of nearly 1,000 mem-
bers of the Hrooklyn Philosophical as-
sociation and friends. A special train
carried the liberals from the Grand
Central station to New Rochelle. Henry
Rowley, president of the association,
did the duties of chairman, sitting in
Thomas Paine's old chair. Hob Inger-
soll spoke in praise of Paine and de-
nunciation of his detractors.

Wellington, Kan., June 1.—If the
secret oath of the Citizens' Industrial
alliance, as set forth in a circular sent
broadcast over the state, be of binding
force there can never be fusion between
populists and democrats to the extent
at least that the names of any open
and avowed democrats can ever be
placed on a populist ticket this or any
other year. This oath is explicit and
binds all members of the industrial al-
liance "never to vote a democratic or
republican ticket or for a member of
either of those parties while life shall
last."
Col. Ainsworth Set Free.
Washington, June 1.—Col. Fred C.
Ainsworth, chief of the records and
pension division of the war depart-
ment, indicted for manslaughter in the
case growing out of the Ford's theater
disaster of last June, in which more
than a score of government clerks were
killed, is now free, Justice McCoinas,
of the criminal court, to-day sustain-
ing the demurrer to his indictment and
ordering it quashed. This is the second
indictment against Ainsworth which
has failed.
Edinburgh, June 1.—An important
speech, touching upon wheat, silver,
gold and American mining, railroads
and land mortgages, was delivered here
by Rt. Hon. Henry Chaplin, president
of the board of agriculture in Lord
Salisbury's last government. The
speech was an address to a crowded
conference of the Scottish members of
husbandry, and had for its subject
"Bimetallism in Relation to Agricult-
ural Depression." The speaker de-
clared that the agricultural depression
was chiefly due to the steady and
heavy fall in the prices of produce,
which, he claimed, was due to the
monetary changes of 1853, and could
only be stopped by reverting to the
previous monetary system.
Touching upon the farmers of Amer-
ica, he said that they especially were
being ruined and becoming bankrupt,
faster even than the British farmers.
Others contend that over-production is
responsible for the fall in prices, but
he claimed that statistics show that
the production of wheat has decreased,
although the prices have fallen. There-
fore, from the point of view of the
speaker, it was farcial and ridiculous
to attribute the fall in prices to that
cause. The real cause, he said, was
the demonetization of silver in 1873
and the subsequent divergence of the
relative values of metals, which en-
abled the silver-using countries, like
India, to export wheat at the present
low price.
Mr. Chaplain also said: "And if sil-
ver continues to fall, there is no
reason why wheat should not cheapen
indefinitely. We propose, as a remedy,
an international agreement to revert
to the system which prevailed prior to
1873. The failure of the Brussels con-
ference is no argument against this,
as it has since been clearly proved
that nothing but the action of the En-
glish delegates broke up the confer-
ence.'1
Mr. Chaplin reviewed the bimetallic
movement on the continent, and point-
ed out especially the importance of
President Cleveland obtaining power
to re-summon the conference, adding:
"My answer to the argument that an
agreement as to the ratio between sil-
ver and gold is impossible, is that the
bimetallists will accept any ratio
rather than continue as now, and sil-
ver is so sensitive that its market price
will conform to any fixed international
ratio. The increased output, conse-
quent upon such an agreement, would,
in our opinion, not affect the matter in
the least, as it would be infinitesimal
compared with the immense existing
mass.
"The most important adverse argu-
ment is that Great Britain, being the
greatest creditor nation of the world,
would receive payment of her debts in
the cheapest metal. We contend that
both metals would perform equal func-
tions, while, on the other hand, we ask
if it is wise for the creditor to embarass
his debtor by monetary changes?"
The speaker then referred to the
American railways, and made the as-
sertion that one-third of their number
was iu the hands of receivers.
Mr. Chaplin followed this by dwelling
upon the unfavorable investment made
in American land mortgages, and said:
"From the accounts of the condition of
the land and the farmers there, and
especially in the west, owing to the
fall in prices, I should be very anxious
about such investments if they were
mine. In fact, the creditors every-
where are in the greatest danger of
losing their capital, or the greater part
of it, owing to the appreciation of gold.
"The argument in favor of mono-
metallism is based on the fact that
enormous quantities of gold are lying
idle in the Hank of England, and is er-
roneous, as it merely points to the fear
to invest it in industry and enterprise
in the face of falling prices."
Mr. Chaplin also said the bimetallic
prospects of the future are most prom-
ising.
A Kiot Over Juan of Aro
Pahis, June 1.—Yesterday being the
anniversary of the death of Joan of
Arc, deputations from several Masonic
lodges placed a large floral wreath
upon the statue of the maid of Orleans
in Rue des Pyramides, inscribed: "To
.loan of Arc, abandoned by royalty,
burned by the church.' The inscrip-
tion caused a riot, a number of young
Catholics removing the wreath and
tearing down the inscription. A tight
followed.
AWFUL ACCIDENT.
A Train Wreeked on the Central WUroniiln
Bond and Sis People Killed.
Mansfield, Wis., May 31.—The St.
Paul limited southbound train on the
Wisconsin Central road which passed
here at, 1:03 yesterday morning met
with a horrible accident which has
never been equaled in northern Wis-
consin. and adds another long list of
victims through disasters of this kind.
The train, which was made up
of seven coaches and sleepers,
left Abbott's Ford behind time, and
while running at 50 miles an hour
| struck a defective split switch at Mann-
i ville. a deserted station, derailing the
entire train and piling engine and cars
in a heap of broken timbers. To add
to the horror the entire mass was soon
in a sheet of llames, which, mingled
with the groans and cries of the in-
jured, made a scene that turned the
hearts of the bravest. The victims are:
Dead—James Hubbard, engineer, of
Stevens' Point: George Gebbart, fire-
man. of Stevens' Point: John Bigelow.
head brakeman, of Stevens' Point;
Russell, civil engineer, Stevens' Point;
aged man and woman,names unknown,
buried in the ruins; it is said they were
not on the train at St. Paul.
Injured—Henry C. Hester, Marsh field,
legs and spine badly injured; O. W.
Bozely, news agent, Stevens' Point, in-
jured internally; Arthur Turney, Chi-
cago, head cut and otherwise injured,
will recover; I). R. Weitzel. (Jlidden,
hurt internally; Fannie Hurtle. Spring-
dale. 111., hand badly out; William
Ryan, Sturgeon Bay, ribs broken and
head cut; 10. A. Twitchell, attorney at
law, Minneapolis, head cut.
| As near as can be ascertained, about
fifty passengers were on the train, and
as the work of clearing away the
wreckage goes on others may be yet
found to swell the list of those who
met death by burning.
