FLOOD AT TOPEKA, KS.
Loss of Life Not So Great as
First Reported.

velt Augeat W. Machen Arrested
Reliance Won Again Harry Elkes
Killed In a Race.
The number of dead In the Topeka,
Kan., flood and fire la known to be at
least 34 and & larger number axe yt
missing.
Several were reported burned to
death, but this could not be substanti
ated. From all over Eastern Kansas
boats are being rushed here for the
rescue of the sufferers.
In the B street Colored Daptlst
church nearly a hundred people have
been standing since Saturday. Many
of them have doubtless fallen from ex
haustion before this and drowned.
The building stands intact, however,
and those who are left alive may be
rescued. As seen from a high place
on North Tyler street, near the Rock
Island bridge, the stream appeared to
be widening.
North Topeka Is a scene of utmost
desolation. Not a square foot of land
can be seen in any direction. There is
but a small chance of any of the resi
dences being left standing at the end
of the flood period.
Sherry, Oakland and the region about
the Reform school north of North
Topeka are all under the rushing wat
ers, hut the situation Is favorable in
these places compared with what
North Topeka is undergoing.
Nearly all the flres have been put
out by the heavy rain, which has been
falling nearly all night. The sky was
overcast and the rain bids fair to con
tinue. Hundreds of Topeka citizens wiho
were rich are now pooTt and the
poor people are In distress. Many lost
absolutely everything. They had the
savings of years taken by water. Now
they have only the titles to the water
covered land.
By aid of the small steam and gaso
line launches 40 men In South Garfield
park were rescued. They had perched
themselves In trees. They had had
nothing to eat for rs. These
men were kept In a fenced grove where
they could not keep a close watch of
the situation. All they could see was
the angry waters rushing about among
the trunks of the trees. One of the
men said that they could not hear the
others speak above the roar of the
water.
There Is ground for hope that the
worst of the flood situation has passed.
The treacherous Kansas river is slowly
receding and the flve-milo wide stream
is settling back Into its rightful chan
nc 1. The official gauge was fluctuated
up and down all Sunday. City Engineer
McCahle has Issued a bulletin giving
Dut the cheering Intelligence that the
waters had subsided to the extent of
7V4 Inches.
Briefly stated the present condition
of the flood Is this: 34 to 40 people
drowned; 8,000 people without homes;
14,000.000 loss of property.
Advance In Cotton Goods.
Wholesale trade awaits crop, labor
and price developments. Spring wheat
conditions are practically perfect, and
a record breaking yield of wheat ia
still In sight
Winter wheat harvesting has begun
In Texas and a large yield Is indicated.
The drought In the Middle Atlantic
states has been partially relieved, but
New York and New England still suf
fer for rain.
Unsettleinent still characterizes the
labor situation. Close to 100,000 men
are idle In and near the metropolis
as the result of the practical suspen
sion of work In the building and al
lied trades.
Cotton goods manufacturers have
met the advances In the raw material
of nearly 24 cents per pound with ad
vances in bleached cottons and ging
hams. Buyers, however, are slow to
take hold at the higher prices.
Few cotton mills have shut down
for want of, or as a result of the high
price of, cotton, though many say that
they could make more money by sell
ing their supplle3 of raw material
rather than working them up Into man
ufactured forms.
Reports from the eastern section of
the cotton belt are favorable.
Reliance Won Again.
- A big fleet of yachts on the Sound
made a lane for . the Reliance
and the Constitution to drift across
the finish line of Saturday's race and
the steamers almost split their
whistles in hailing the Reliance win
ner. But the fickle breezes had made
the race a fizzle. A seven-knot easter
ly wind had dwindled to almost a flat
ralm and Columbia, which had suffered
most thereby, was but a dim spectre In
the distant haze when the winner
crossed the line.
The Reliance crossed the finish line
Vi miles ahead of the Constitution and
more than two miles ahead tr the Co
lumbia. Constitution crossed the finish lino
21 minutes and 45 seconds after the
Reliance. In elapsed time tin,' Reliance
beat the Constitution 20 minutes 27
seconds.
Ohio's Indorsement.
United States Senator M. A. Ha una
has decided to offer no further opposi
tion to a proposed resolution iu the
coming Ohio Republican state conven
tion Indorsing thd candidacy of Presi
dent Roosevelt for another term.
Senator Hanna oositlvely declined
to further discuss the subject. Insist
ing that the brief statement above
quoted fully covered the situation.
It Is the general belief, however,
among those close to the senator that
he still doubts the advisability of the
adoption of a resolution indorsing
President Roosevelt's candidacy by
this year's convention. But it Is point
ed out that in deferring to the presi
dent's judgment and expressed wishes
Mr. Hanna demonstrates that his or
iginal position In the matter was at no
lime prompted by personal antagonism
to President Roosevelt.
Indiana Heroine Dying.
Miss Jennie Creek, the heroine who
saved a train carrying passengers to
the world's fair at Chicago, is lying
near death's door at her home at
Converse, Ind.
Her life, which once gave promise
of unusual brightness, has been one of
sadness and she has been in ill health
for a number of months.
She was a demure country girl when
she used a red petticoat to flag a pas
senger train on the Pennsylvania road
near Mill Grove, Ind., In 1893, prevent
ing the fast flying train with numer
ous passengers from piling Into an
open chasm, made so by the burning of
a bridge.
The little girl was praised and laud
ed for her heroic deed, and a party of
Frenchmen aboard the train forwarded
her a medal from a royal society of
France.
August W. Machen Arrested.
By far the most sensational develop
ment of the postofflce investigation
occurred Wednesday when August W.
Machen, general superintendent of the
free delivery service, was arrested
on a warrant Issued on the Informa
tion of postofflce Inspectors charging
him with having received "rake offs"
from contracts made with the local
firm of Groff Brothers for a patent pos
tal box fastener.
The warrant specifically charges
him with receiving $18,981.78 since
Aug. 8, 1900. It is alleged, however,
at the department that this amount
does not represent all that Machen ob
tained In connection with those con
tracts. It being charged that he has
profited by them for several years
prior to the date of the first contract
mentioned in the warrant.
New York's Quarter Millennium.
New York city officially commem
orated Tuesday the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of establishment
of municipal government in New Am
sterdam, afterwards called by force
and treaty between Holland and Eng
land, New York.
The whole city was gay with bunt
ing. The City hall, where the main
exercises were held, and City Hall
park were the center of attraction, the
decorations there being especially
elaborate. In the public schools In
the flvo boroughs half a million chil
dren took part in special patriotic
exercises.
Many dwellings and business build
ings were brilliantly illuminated at
night In honor of the celebration.
Special Election at Ithaca.
A special election at Ithaca, N. Y.,
for the nurpose of laying a special tax
to raise $10,000 to defray the expenses
connected with the efforts to stamp
out the typhoid epidemic at Ithaca was
held Tuesday, and resulted in a ma
Jorlty of 299 In favor of the tax. This
practically means that Dr. George So
per, the representative of the state
board of health, who has been In Ithaca
since March 1 working in conjunction
with the local authorities In stamping
out the fever will remain In Ithaca all
summer. Improving conditions here.
According to Dr. Soper there are only
seven cases of typhoid fever now and
no new cases have developed recently.
Bitter Contest For Assemblyman.

SITUATION IN KANSAS CITY.
No Gas or Electric Lights and Water
works Shut Down. -
Kansas City, June 2. With gas and
electric lights extinguished, the water
works shut down and the city prac
tically at the mercy of the first fire
that shall break out; with railroad
transportation feeble and uncertain,
Kansas City may, if the waters do not
recede within the next two or three
days, be compelled to fight for her life,
and today the skies are dark and
threatening, the rain Is falling heavily,
more stormy weather Is sweeping
up from the west and the insatiable
river Is holding Its own.
It Is practically stationary now, but
what the flood has it kertps, and there
Is no certain promise of when It will
recede. The stage Is 34.9. Chief Con
nor of the .weather bureau says that
while the outlook Is for continued
rains, It would necessitate a very
heavy fall if the present high .water is
to continue.
The first authentic information from
Kansas City, Kan., was received last
night. In that district 20,000 people
are homeless, many have been drowned
and the number cannot be really est!
mated. The property loss has been
heavy. The situation there Is a par
allel to the situation here apparently
no better and no worse.
There Is no great probability that
there will be further loss of life. If the
river does not rise very suddenly. All
through the wholesale districts and In
the east and west bottoms there are
people still In the houses, many of
them anxious to be taken away, a good
ly number of them content to remain
where they are with all the chances of
flood. The police have dene wonders
In rescuing people, and have probably
brought 250 of them safe to the high
ground since sunrise.
In the east or west bottoms a num
ber of obstinate people are still cling
ing to their homes. Although the
police have run boats beneath their
windows and offered to save them,
they refuse to leave and will take their
chances for another night at least.
It is utterly Impossible to form any
estimate of the number of dead In
Kansas City. There have been mani
fold stories of how boats laden with
people have been seen to sink here
have been reports .without end of bod
les seen floating by cn wreckage, of
men who have tried to drive wagons
laden with their household effects
against certain death In the swift cur
rent and gone down In the flood. The
majority of these stories lack proof,
however, and even If true, the proof
may never be had.
It Is likely that the number of fatali
ties in Kansas City, Mo., will approxi
mate 50.
Down In the wholesale district peo
ple at dusk were waving white cloths
to attract attention. The condition of
some of these people Is pitiable. They
have been held prisoners for two days.
threatened with death by drowning,
and at one time by Are. For the most
part they were without food and for 24
hours without drinking .water. Every
effort Is -being made, and they will all
be saved today unless the water rises
more.
The financial damage Is about as
great now as It Is likely to be, unless
the water rises much higher. The
great danger is that the foundations of
buildings may be undermined. How
ever, the buildings that have with
stood the flood all day have an excel
lent chance of holding out for some
time.
There has been no suffering In the
city beyond that sustained by the peo
pie driven from their homes. Excel
lent work has been done by the local
relief committees and those in control
of this work are confident that the city
will be able to care for its own with
out calling upon other cities of the
state.
Iast night the city was in absolute
darkness, save in buildings which have
their own electric light plants. Power
of tho three street car lines that have
resumed operation Is furnished by
water piped from a small stream In one
of tho valleys.
The newspapers have been com
pelled to discontinue the use of their
typesetting machines because of lack
of power, and are selling type by hand.

Rather an original lesson In political
economy was that once taught by the
Japanese nobleinan. Awoto, and thus
translated by Sir Edwin Arnold in
"Seas and Lands:"
One evening ns he was going to the
palace to take bis turn In keeping the
night watch be let ten cash drop out

then bought fifty cash worth of torches;
to search for the lost coin. His friends
laughed at biiu for spending so much
In order to recover so little, and bo re
plied, with a frown:
"Sirs, you are foolish and Ignorant of
economics. Had I not sought for these
ten cash they would have lieen lost
forever sunk iu the bottom of th"
Nanierigawa. The fifty cash which I
have expended on torches will remain
iu the bands of the tradesmen. Wheth
