LOSS IN THE MILLIONS Estimate of Damage Done By the Big Flood. PHILADELPHIA, May 23.— Now that telegraphic communication has been re- 1 stored to all points in the state an estimate of the damage done by the flood of the past ! three days can be made. Although the rivers and streams were swollen to nearly | as great heights as in the tlood of 1880, the 1 destruction wrought by the waters was not nearly so great as the inundation of five years ago. Residents of the river towns learned a dreadful lessou from the 1889 flood, and when the water began to rise this time they were prompt to remove ■ themselves and their effects to places of safety, and thus the destruction is much less than it would have been if the over- j flowing of the rivers had not been heeded. , The railroads also suiFerod less in a mone- j tary way than in the 1889 flood. They also j learned a lesson at that time that boro fruit in more strongly constructed road- | beds and the substitution of iron bridges for many of the flimsy wooden structures that were washed away. Losses in tlio Millions. Although not approaching in destruc tiveness the Hood of 1889 the spring freshet of 1894 will be long remembered and the state will not recover for many a day from ! the loss that has been inflicted upon prop erty. What this loss will be it is difficult j at this time to even approximate, as every ; place is prone to exaggerate the loss that i has been inflicted. Still, it will take mil lions of dollars to repair the destruction and cover the loss instoppagesof mills and the wages of workmen. Reports from all parts of the state show with the exception of Johnstown that the flood is going down. At Johnstown it rained heavily again last night and fresh torrents are pouring down from the moun tain and again swelling the Conemaugh and threatening another overflow. Lumbermen Buffered Heavily. Williamsport has emerged from beneath thejwater and taken an account of the dam ago done. Though many houses were flooded to the second floor but practically little property in the city itself is de stroyed. The greatest loss was by tiie breaking away of the great log boom with its millions of feet of lumber. This and the subsequent stoppage of the sawmills in the vicinity for the summer work will raise the loss in that city and Lycoming county to about $3,000,000. Lock Haven was also badly washed out and there, as at Williamsport, the greatest loss resulted from the breaking away of the log booms. Many people at Lock Haven were driven from their homes from Sun day until last night, but no lives were lost. Pew Fatalities. The few casualties all through the state resulting from the flood is a fact particu larly to bo rejoiced at. A dozen deaths from drowning will cover the loss of life from the freshet. The railroads were badly washed out but are rapidly recovering. The Pennsylvania railroad has resumed its train service on nearly schedule time on all its divisions ex cept the main line to Pittsburg. This di vision suffered severely at a number of points and although the officials of the road think they may get their trains through to-day, they are not hopeful of doing so until Tuursday. The Philadelphia and Reading lines are all open except the Williamsport division which is blocked at Muncy by the carry ing away of a bridge between there and Williamsport. It. & O. Tracks Still Submerged. The Baltimore & Ohio road, whose tracks in this city are submerged, is using the Pennsylvania road to run its trains around the flooded parts of the road and is furnish ing nearly its usual train service south. In this city the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers are slowly receding from the streets near the banks and piles of mud ami soaked houses will soon be the only marks to show that there was a flood here. The greatest damage done here was the flood ing of the mills in the great manufactur ing district of Manayunk. Battle With Train Bobbers. EL RENO, Okla., May 23.—Two men, supposed to be members of the Dalton gang of train robbers, passed through K1 Reno traveling eastward. The sheriff tel egraphed to Yukon to intercept them. A posse was organized, and when the train robbers made their appearance they were attacked. The defense was as hot as the attack, and a running fight ensued. Ainan named Parish was shot in the groin, the bullet passing entirely through him. He is not expected to live. An old man named Nelson was shot in the forehead, but not dangerously. A number of other persons were wounded more or less in the skirmish, among them a man named Snyder, who WAS shot in the face and will die. One of the robbers was shot off his horse and cap tured, but resisted to the last, and several of his captors bear cuts and bruises on the head where lie beat thein with his six shooter. The other robber made good his escape, but is supposed to have been hit two or three times. Russia Will Let Her via Alono. ST. PETERSBURG, May 23.—The foreign office bus informed M. Persian!, the Rus sian minister at Belgrade, that Russia will in no way interfere in the present state of affairs in Servia. This is understood to mean that King Alexander has forfeited the friendship of Russia by his action in the interest of his father, ex-King Milan, who is believed to have instigated the Servian coup d'etat. In political circles ex-King Milan's return to Belgrade after his promise not to do so is considered a breach of faith to the czar, which will not bo forgotten or forgiven.

PARIS, May 23.—The Journal Dos Debates says the police have arrested an anarchist who is discovered to have been in regular communication by letter with the anarchists who were responsible for the re cent bomb explosions in Liege, Belgium.

TELLER IS SATISFIED' Tariff Bill Better Than the Republicans Expected. WASHINGTON, May 23.—During the , eight hours' session of the senate yester day eight items of the metal schedule ; were disposed of—the most important of , them being that which puts iron ore on the dutiable list at the rate of 40 cents a ton. This item had been discussed for the : greater part of two days and was eventual- | I ly agreed to without a division, and by a i practically unanimous vote—a proposition I I to make the rate (10 cents a ton having been | laid on the table—32 to 21. This result ; j was not reached until after a couple of i I hours' discussion in which a good many j bitter remarks were exchanged between j the opposite sides of the chamber. | The most noticeable speech of the day I was one made by Mr. Teller (rep., Col.), iu which he discountenanced the practice | of taunting democratic senators with in consistency. They had explained, ho said, J the cause of their inconsistency, and their defence was absolute and perfect. He de : clarcd that he would join them in putting j the bill through, in the best possible shape, that the bill was ample for the protection of American industries, and that it was a better bill than he had expected, or than any which the republican side of the chain- i j ber bail hoped to get. The senate ud- | journed at <5:15. House of Representatives. ; By a vote of 109 to 71 the house, in com- J raittee of the whole, at the end of three j hours' debate on the subject of civil serv ice, declared that it would strike out tho paragraph in the legislative, executive and j , judicial appropriation bill providing for , the payment of salaries to the members I and employes of the civil service commis sion. The commission and the law under i i whicli it operates were attacked in a nuni | ber of vigorous speeches on the democratic i j side und defended by republicans, aided by j ; Messrs. Everett and Grain. But live i pages of the Gill had been disposed of, as j the result of the day's session, when the house adjourned at 5 o'clock. ; The house passed the resolution re ported from the committee on rules pro | viding for the investigation by the naval I committee of the alleged armor plate j frauds by the Carnegic-Phipps company at Homestead. STATE BA N K TA X. The Next Sharp and Bitter Battle in Congress. I WASHINGTON, May 23.—Members who j have interested themselves in the subject J believe that the debate on the bill to repeal i the 10 per cent, state bank tax will bo the | most spirited and acrimonious of any that : has occurred during the present session, j The lines are being rigidly drawn, and it is difficult at this time to predict what fato the measure will meet. The bill will prob | ably come up before the house on Wednes i day of this week if the legislative appro- I priation bill be disposed of in the interim, j It is believed that the majority either for j ,or against the measure will be small. The - republicans will oppose it almost unani mously, although some of the representa- 1 , tives of that party from the extreme west | and northwest are disposed to regard it ' j favorably. The sentiment among the dem i ocrats is divided, although a preponder i ance of the party are sturdy supporters of the bill. Mr. Springer of Illinois, the chairman of the house committee on bank ing and currency, will' make the opening speech in opposition. Mr. Springer said that in his opinion about GO democratic votes will be cast against flic bill. If this proves to be the case and the populists and republicans take similar action, the bill will probably be defeated by a small ma jority. If there be a full attendance of the house and the democratic vote is not more than 40 against the bill, it will probably carry by a small majority. The eastern democrats, particularly those from New York and New England, are in the main ! favorable to the proposition. Some of the democratic friends of the bill will insist ; upon unconditional repeal. Others as stoutly assert t hat they will agree to repeal ; only with certain limitations; such, for example, as surrounding the proposed state bank system with safeguards in the form of federal supervision. This is the j rock on which th opp merit <of the bill be- | lit ve that its friends will split, and that in j the end it will he impossible to secure a ' sufficient numbered votes to carry through either of the alternative propositions.

His ex-son-in-law, Gideon Granger, who testified Monday that McClave had received money in con ! siderable sums for gettiug men on the po | lice force and for having policemen pro i moted, and was denounced as a drunkard, i forger and thief by McClave during a fit of rage, lias mysteriously disappeared, al though he promised the committee faith fully that he would be on hand to con tinue his testimony. ! When Granger failed to respond to the | call of his name McClave resumed the stand.

Said he owned a coun try seat besides city property; kept, six | servants, two carriage horses, a riding horse for his daughter, two horses at ins country residence, and HO horses for his lumber business. He said he did not own a yacht, but a rowboat instead. l , Lawyer Goff asked Mr. McClave if he did not secure a position for Granger after j the he knew of his doings.

"I heard," shouted he, "that Gran ger had reformed and 1 tried to do the best I could for him." Lawyer GofT, after making the witness admit that lie had evidence of his son-in law's forgeries in his possession for four years, asked him if it was not a fact that lie had put him in as secretary of the Yankee White Manufacturing company whim he knew he was a forger? Mr. McClave admitted he did in tho hope of reforming him. "How much do you make a year in your business}'" asked Mr. Goff. "Ordinarily an uverage of $52,000 to SOO,- 000. I made SIIB,OOO in the year 1892." j "For how long?" "For the past eight or ten years." "And yet you say you were as rich the day you became police commissioner as you are now?" "Yes, sir, that's what 1 say." Mr. Goff asked the witness if he knew whether a warrant had been issued for the apprehension of Granger. Mr. McClave replied that be had no such knowledge, but that Mr. Xicoll (his lawyer) had i vised him to procure a warrant. After a lilt with Mr. Xicoll Mr. Goff said he wanted Granger to testify as badly as .Mr. Xicoll, and added: "I will ask Mr. Mc('lave to instruct Supt. Byrnes to secure Granger." Mr. McClave said he would go personal ly and seethe superintendent. "I will ask him," he sniff, "to put every man he can spare on Granger's tracks."

Against tho Foe System. \V ASHINUTON, May tin.—Representative William A. Stone of Pennsylvania, of the house judiciary committee, presented a favorable report on a hill introdneed by him some months ago to place marshals, district attorneys and clerks of the United States courts ou salary and abolish tho system of fees by wldch they have been paid. The. bill fixes the salaries for mats shals and district attorneys throughout the United States at HMO each, and leaves the compensation of clerks at such sum us the attorney-general shall deckle, not ex tending HUOO per annum. A letter from the attorney-general shows that the bill will not only effect a groat saving, but do away with frivolous prosecutions, unwar ranted by law. Under the present fee sys tem about 50 per. cent, of the prosecutions in the I nited Stntos courts result in ac quit t ils or discontinuance. It is a system which most of the states have abandoned, and the report states that it ought not to lie tolerated any longer by the government. Colt's Estate.
