A DEADLY DELUGE.
Score* of Lhci l.o»l by Flood* In

$5,000,000.
Austin, Tex, July 4. —IJcporls from
up ami doyy 11 the lira/os river valley
indicate that the Hood is holding' its
own. It is now figured out that there
are over -too county bridges and about
2">(> railroad bridges swept away in the
flood.
News from Eagle Lake, Harris coun
ty, directly in the path of the flood,
is that thousands of acres of growing
tobacco which escaped 1110 flood until
Sunday arc now covered and that it
will prove a total loss. There are nine
lives reported lost a) l'agle Lake and
the surrounding country. No names
can be ascertained. In McClcllitn
county alone the loss w ill be $1,000,000.
licports from southwestern Texas are
to the effect, that heavy rains there
ha\e swollen the (iattdalupc and Low
er Colorado and they are spreading
all over the country again. Ity means
of building much temporary trestle
work and operating trains slowly some
of the trunk lines are moving a few
through trains, but most of the rail
road business in Texas is still tied up.
For seven days Texas throughout
its central and western portions has
been visited by daily rainfalls. The
rain continued yesterday and reports
from as far south as Nueces county re
port that everything is being flooded
afresh. That section of the state,
however w ill not suffer nearly as much
loss as tin- l!ra/os bottoms, for the
reason that the water can spread out
over the low country much more rap
idly than in the lira/os country, and
it is not so generally cultivated.
The reports from all along the Bra
zos bottom show that the water is still
very high and the fact that every sec
tion of the state continues to be visit
ed by rain makes the situation look
extremely gloomy.. The reports of the
total damage to county, railioad and
personal property as well as to crops,
continue to come in and it is figured
out that it will amount to s.">,()( )n.(mm;.
Alarming reports are coming in from
La (irange and Senley of loss of life
in the vicinity of Brookshire. Hous
ton has been appealed to for help and
the mayor of that city has issued a
proclamation calling for men and
boats to rescue those in danger. The

Austin, Tex., .lulv —»iov. Savers
has received the following telegram
from a number of residents of BrooL

from Houston: "Hundreds of people
here, with everything swept way by
flood, have not a mouthful to eat and
no shelter. I'nless food is sent at
once starvation is inevitable and to
you. as governor of Texas, we appeal
for immediate aid and food."
Gov. Savers replied by wiring the
mayors of Houston, (ialveston and San
Antonio as follows: "Am .just advised
that hundreds of people are suffering
at Brookside for want of food. Have
no public funds at my disposal. Please
"all on the people of your city to as

A report from Brookshire says that
To person-, have been drowned already
and many more may soon be. A re

last night with boats and physicians,
but not nearly enough. The people
were not warned and had no time to

ed that between 100 and 150 farmers
and their families were on a small hill
near where Dewey was situated and
which has since become an island, with
the water slowly rising. It is feared
that many of them have been lost.
The total number of dead accurately
reported at nil points now reaches 63.

Chicago. July 4. —Four persons are
believed to be dead beneath the tot
tering walls of the Western l'aper
Stock Co.'s plant on Indiana avenue,
which burned yesterday. The dead:
Bartholomew Sparkiew ietz. 50 years
old.
Julius Ostowsky, 50 years old.
Mrs. .losie Doyle. J1 years old.
Stettina Badgeis.
Courageous wtirk resulted in the res
(•ue of a large proportion of the too
women and:2o men employed in the
building, but eight of the more im
petuous and frenzied ones were badly
hurt in escaping from the blazing
struct lire.
All of the injured women were taken
to St. Luke's hospital, about "00 feet
from the scene of the tire.
The fir" is thought to have started
from spontaneous combustion among
some old rags in the basement. The
flames spread to the upper floors by
way of the elevator shaft and stair
way. The highly inflammable nature
of the stock caused the building to fill
wilh dense smoke, rendering "scape
difficult for employes on the three
higher stories. The oeupants of the
building became panic-stricken and
rushed to the windows. Those who
went to the front, where there was a
tire escape, were able to make their
way to the sidewalk by a ladder from
the second story. On the south side
of the burning structure, however,
many of the frenzied women leaped
out of the third-story windows to the
roof of the shed. It was at this point
that most of those injured suffered.
On the north side of the building sev
eral women escaped down a ladder
raised by women of the neighbor
hood.

The Hague, July The third com
mittee of the peace conference t\ester
day discussed the scheme I'oiVhe medi
ation and arbitration convention
drawn up by Comte D'Kxamen. Many
of the delegates have only been ac
quainted with the proposals since
Thursday and have not had time to
consult their governments. Conse
quently it was decided that when the
from mitt ee adjourned yesterday it
would be until July 1". in order to al
low the delegates a week in which to
consult their governments and receive
final instructions. The scheme is
headed "Draft of convention for the
pacific settlement of international
conflicts." The first part deals with
the maintenance of general peace, the
second part with arbitration.
The reporter of the committee ex
plained lengthily the motives which
inspired the drafting committee in
elaborating the scheme. M. liour
geois, head of the French delegation,
thanked the reporter in warm terms
and congratulated him upon his re
markable exposition, which, he said,
would remain an otlieial commentary
upon the provisions formulated, both
for the delegates and for their govern
ments. The sitting was then ad
journed until July 17.
During the discussion the plenary
committee amended \rticle S so as to
provide that when pejivers between
whom there is a serious dispu>- accept
mediation, they cease all direct rela
tions in regard to the disputed ques
tion, which shall be considered as ex
clusively referred to the mediatory
powers.
Two additional paragraphs regard
ing the permanent court were also
adopted, as follows:
"Members of the permanent court
shall enjoy and exercise all the func
tions of diplomatic privileges and im
munities.
"The bureau is authorized to place
its officers and organization at the
disposal of the signatory po;vers for
the proper exercise of any special ar
bitral jurisdiction. The signatory
powers undertake }o communicate to
the bureau a eopv of any stipulation
regarding arbitration decided between
them and all judgments of the per
manent court, and they undertake to
communicate to the bureau the laws,
regulations and documents setting
forth the education of judgments pro
nounced by the court."

When the Spanish armade was

ly cared for by the Irish people, and
considerable numbers of these unfor

the American Quarterly Review.
Spanish Point, on the coast of Clare,
reminds of the disaster fo the great
Spanish fleet.
in the counties of Clare and Galway
there is to be found at the present day
a people differing essentially from any
of the distinctive races existing on Irish
soil. This people are descendants of
the Spanish officers and soldiers who
i had been cast ashore during the fearful
storm which destroyed the Spanish
fleet.
The race marks of this people are
well defined. Crossed as it has been
\ with the Milesian stock, its Spanish
| features offer a most interesting study,
| for they remain prominent. The men
j are tall, muscular, dark-featured, with
black eyes and black hair. The women
have decided Spanish traits in their
physique; they are jsually tall; bru
nettes in some cases and fair in others;
with large, expressive black eyes and
an abundance of black hair. Their
beauty reminds of the women of the
ISasque provinces, while among them
are to be found the perfection of the
female form in all Ireland.
Ilnild Our Own Warship*.
The Nautical fiazette states that it
was always a matter for surprise that
the. Brazilian government, for whom
the New Orleans and Albany were built,
should have been so anxious to get rid
of these seemingly perfect vessels. The
mystery now is explained, and the fact
that the metacentric height wasa nega
tive quantity was probably known by
the builders and former owners and
carefully concealed from us. They can
not be cut in two and lengthened, as
they are even now too narrow for their
length. The moral of the story is that
we must build our own war vessels.

HIS DREAM JAGS.
Tliey I.cave the Smile lOlTeet* In the
Morning a m Heal
One*.
"I am one of the people who ougTit
never to touch a drop of liquor," said
the only man of the group who had not
yet told a story, "ltdc: I't bother mo
at the time, but the after-effects are
terrible. The least indulgence disor
ders my nerves, upsets my stomach and
makes me actually ill for days. As my
physician puts it,l am constitutionally
intolerant of alcohol, and, this fact
dawning on me half a dozen years ago,
1 determined never to taste it under any
circumstances. Since then, entirely
against my will and without the slight
est desire to do so, I have gone on three
terrific sprees, and suffered such tor
ments afterward that it unnerves me
even to think about them. It happened,
each time, in the most peculiar way.
Fully two years had elapsed since I had
taken a drink, when one night I
dreamed that I was with a party of four
gentlemen in a large room, apparently
part of a restaurant. Why we had as
sembled 1 could not tell, but it all
seemed perfectly natural, as things do
in dreams. We were celebrating some
great event and were in jubilant spirits.
As we talked and joked, the drinks
went round and round. I remembered
my failing, but the occasion seemed to
justify a lapse, and I cast caution to the
winds. 1 conversed with strange bril
liancy, and so did my companions. One
of them was an elocutionist, and re
cited threadbare old poems in a way
that made them new and thrilling.
Another sang ballads in a wonderful
tc-nor voice, sweet as distant bells. I
myself tossed off a shower of sparkling
epigrams and said things worthy of
Shakespeare. All the while we drank.
As the hours passed my comrades one
by one succumbed and slid under the
table. At last the elocutionist and I
were left alone, and he was just begin
ning Marc Antony's oration when I
awoke. It was daybreak. For a mo
ment I lay still, collecting my thoughts
and smiling at my fantastic vision;
then 1 essayed to get up. The instant I
stirred 1 was aware of a splitting head
ache. My eyes throbbed Like wounds;
1 hail a dark-brown taste in my mouth,
and a hideous, indescribable nausea.
In brief, the old symptoms were all on
hand. It took me a week to recover,
and my doctor upbraided me contin
ually. I did not dare to tell him the
truth, for fear he'd think I was crazy.
Since then I have had two other dream
jags, just like the first —same room,
same company, same finale. 1 dread
them unspeakably. Otherwise 1 am a
teetotaler."—>«. O. Tirnes-Demowat.
