The Flood-DetaiIs of the Disaster Along
DeadwoOd Gulch-Fears of Great Loss of
Life.
BISMARCK, May PA dispatch to the
Tribune gives the following additional facts
| as to the food at Deadwood: Almost every
day for month there has been fall of rain,
which has reAaered the roads impossible and
thoroughly saturated the ground. A heavy
fall of snow followed, but disappeared rapid.
~ under the heavy, warm rain OF Friday
night and Saturday. The gulches or valleys
in the hills are from few hundred feet to
probably quarter of a mile wide. Dead
wood is situated at the junction of the White
wood and Deadwood gulches. and numerous
other gulches emptied their accommodating
water from the mountains into these two
main gulches, making a volume that
rushed down Wildwood with resist
less force. Central City, Anchor
City and Golden Gate are on Deadwood
Gulch above Deadwood City. The greater part
of Central City was above the food, but for
Anchor City and Golden Gate there was no
escape, the gulch there being not over 600
feet wide. Most of the dwelling houses of
Deadwood are from 100 to 800 feet above
the gulch, and the main business part is also
above the danger line. The part destroyed
was occupied by cheap tenement houses, Sec
ond class hotels, laundries, small traders,
sporting houses, livery stables, etc. Some
of the buildings are built over the stream,
which, at its ordinary stage, Is but few
feet wide. This locality is generally avoided,
however, its danger being recognized.
When the flood came timely warning was
given by means of tie telephone system
which exists in the hills and the most valua-
BILE articles were removed by the residents.
So far but three bodies have been recovered,
but it is believed now that the loss of life
has been great. The widest excitement pre-
vailed. Horsemen rushed in every direction
and hastily loaded vehicles jostled each
other. When the food came it swept
everything before it excepting the
Deadwood will reach 100000. Golden Gate,
Anchor City, Central City, South Bend and
Crook City are all heavy losers. Several
miles along Deadwood Gulch have been des-
troyed, and the damage to the mines by the
foods cannot be repaired for several weeks.
All the roads are impossible, and trains have
been forced to suspend on the Kills rail-
road. The Methodist church and the
public school building at Deadwood
were destroyed, also Milier's fire proof
warehouse, Ismond & Ayre's hardware
are known to have been washed away, and
five lives have been lost. Among those
drowned were George Chandler and wife and
man named Brindley. Spear Fish and
Rapid are broad valleys, the former being
from two to twelve miles wide. The flood
was not SO destructive there, but did serious
damage nevertheless.

by Mr.. Harrington, the member from West

which Patrick DelRnsy's sentence was COM

there had been no promise of any sert made

with any evidence he might give or did give

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Successor to Commissioner Raun.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-The President late
this afternoon appointed Walter. Evans, of
Kentucky, commissioner of internal revenue
to succeed General Raum. Mr.. Evans is
we'll known in Kentucky where he has been
prominent in the councils of the Republican
party, whose confidence he possesses in an
eminent degree. He at one time was the
nominee of his party for governor.
LOUISVILLE, May 21.-Colonel Walker s.
Evans, the new commissioner of internal
revenue, was born in Bowen county, Kentuc-
ky. September 18th, 1912. He received the
merest common school education. In 1861
he entered the army, serving in the Twenty
fifth Kentucky infantry. After the war he
studied law and practiced at Hopkenville,
Ky. He was delegate to the first Grant
convention that met in Chicago in 1868. In
1871 he was elected to the legislature from
Christian county, carrying the county for
the first time for the Republicans. In 1872
he was delegate from the State at large to
the national convention at Philadelphia. He
was nominated by the Republicans for gov
ernor in 1879 and made vigorous and Ia
borious canvass against Governor Black
burn, but of course he was defeated. He
was at the head of the Kentucky delegation
to the Chicago convention that nominated
Garfield and he was enc of the 306 that held
out SO strenuously for Grant. President
Arthur knew that Colonel Evans has always
been one of his warmest admirers and sup
porters and for this reason no doubt reward
ed him with the high Office to which he has
been appointed

The Minfstry's Plight = The ReinS OF
| Power Slipping From Their Grasp.
| LONDON, May 21-The continuance of the
present ministry is discussed with a great
deal of freedom and with the apparent gem
sral belief that in no case can the ministry
continue in power for any considerable time.
! Not only are the conservative and Irish mem-
bers anxious for dissolution, the latter party
especially believing that they can increase
their numbers and with certainty hold the
balance of power which they scarcely hold
now, but the liberals are not unwilling to
meet a new election. Their willingness
grows out of the feeling that while their po-
sition before the people in the presence of
recent defeats is advantageous one, the
situation is growing worse rather than bet
ter and they can probably meet it to
better advantage now than
later when even more damaging issues may
have been raised and more serious defeats
met. There are evident signs of evil omen
for the government The government is in
an unsafe position in other ways since the
hand that they care little whether the minis
try founders or not. Even Mr.. Jesse Cal
lings, the bosom friend of Mr.. Chamberlain,
is as pugnacious as Mr.. Biggar or Mr..
Whalen, and although he might
strain oint for friendships sake in an
emergency, he is not disposed at present to
yield any of his privileges as an independent
member. If the Independents and irrecon-
cilables insist on claiming and exercising
their rights the government will very soon
reach the end of its tether. This in outline
is the belief expressed by papers of all par
ties. It is doubtful if the conservatives of
the House of Lords will care
to go on to morrow with the
amendment to the land law act which
it was some time ago announced would be
done. The committee of which Lord George
Hamilton is the chairman has met, but it is
not stated that they have even gone SO far as
to formulate a resolution for presentation.
While the proposed measure promised at the
last session to be of vital Importance, there is
now strong feeling of doubt whether the
conservatives could possibly secure a major
ity now on any question which would dis
turb the action of the Irish land act

The London stock Exchange

LONDON, May 21.-There are still breads of
failures on settlement day, which occurs on
Monday next, but they are less than they
were week ago. The action of the Bank Of
England in deciding to discontinue indiscrim-
mate accommodation to bill discounters for
short loans is still likely to cause the failure
of the smaller bill brokers or ''ruining brok-
srs," and they must carry down spectators
with them, The bank has, 1t is however,
believed, not carried out its announcement
as strictly as it was originally intended. The
feeling is at least becoming easier.
