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.
International Anarchist Plots.
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

his identity is established as the organizer
of an international association of anarch
ists, whose members are chosen by lot to
destroy by means of the bomb the enemies
of anarchy in Europe.

no reason for anyone's being in that purt

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.
Judge Jenkins' Famous Order.
WASHINGTON, May 28. The house judi- j
clary committee adopted the report of the
i sub-committee wi.ion investigated the ac
tion of .Jud -v Jenkins Milwaukee, in re

received the endc,i>imnt of all the demo
cratic members of the committee. Only
one of the four re üblh ins present, Mr. I
Kay of New York, v .ted in the negative. I
The report of the committee says that the I
evidence fails to show any corrupt intent
I on the part of the judge, that he believed j
i tho orders granted by him were legal and j
i that while lie erred ill this respect his !
errors afford no ground for proceedings I

W'CLfIVE HARD PRESSED
Sensational Now York Po
lice Investigation.
NEW YORK, May 28.—The case of Police
Commissioner McClave before the senate
investigating committee has brought forth
' several sensations. 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. He declared that he was worth
\ $400,000 and that he was worth that
\ amount at the time he was appointed po
lice commissioner. He said he made his
I fortune in 18 years. 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.
The witness hesitated a little and then
said he did. "Did you not recommend
| him also for a position in the postoffice
j knowing he was a forger'/"
! Mr. McClave got excited at this ques
tion. "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.

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.
