saving will be untold millions. 1t will force

RAINS AND FLOODS.
Great Damage Caused Along the Allegheny
River by a WaterspOut.

PITTsBURG, June 12-Points along the Allie
gheny valley were visited yesterday by one of
heaviest Rain-storms known for many years,
causing the most destructive flood since 1863
At Brooklyn, Pa, waterspout burst, and in
less than two hours the creek rose ten feet
transforming it into seething, foaming tor
rent The rapid rise gave the mill men no
chance whatever to save their stock. The dams
at the North Fork mills, Bryant & Vain
wright's and the Litch mills gave way, carrying
with them lumber valued at $40, 900. Two
bridges were washed away, many small build
ings demolished and number of fam
lilies driven from their homes and compelled to
seek shelter elsewhere for the night
In Pittsburg the rise in the Allegheny last night
was very rapid and a number of coal barges
were swept from their moorings but were caught
by towboats uninjured. The flood at Brookville
brought down about so, 900 pieces of lumber and
almost every owner of skif is busy, to-day,
catching driftwood. The water is now subsiding,
and no further damage is anticipated. A New
Martnsville, w. Va, special says terrific thun
der storm passed over that city last night doing
considerable damage. A boy named Mcintyre
and companion, who took refuge under tree,
were rendered senseless with lightning, which
struck the tree McIntyres recovery is doubtful.

An Austrian Merchant Tells What He
Knows of the Prophets Antecedents.
Pail Mall Gazette.
In order to escape uncertain fate, an Aus
trian merchant, who has hitherto been living at
Kassala, and carrying on an extensive trade there
in wild beasts, determined upon the advice of
one of his black servants, to go to Makaki, the
headquarters of the King of Abyssinia, and to
purchase of the latter protective escort for him
self and his caravan He writes as follows:
''The king inquired of me in Turkish if I was
perfectly familiar with that language an
swered in the Affirmative. If not added the
King in English) he would speak English with
me. The following dialogue ensued: King:
''Kassala will, no boubt soon be in the power
of Mohammed Achmed" Myself 'Un-
less a miracle happen, kassala is
lost. The governor will never be able
to resist the superior forces of the Mahdi" King
'That is also my opinion. There is no relying
upon assistance from Egypt, and when help
comes from England it will be too late Dost
thou know Mohammed Achmed by sightl" Ny
self: II knew him and dealt with him when he
dwelt quietly and peaceably at Khartoum, trad
ing in lions, hyenas and elephants" King:
"Thou liest, Mohammed Achmed trader in
wild beasts~ Myself: What l say is the truth
His name appears in my books along with the
me with" King: "And do his people know of
thisl" Myself: mo, few know it, and they un-
derstand how to be silent" King ''As thou art
acquainted with Mohammed Achmed, why didst
thou not solicit of him a safe escort to Suakm!"
Myself: 1T would have availed nothing, as he
is hostile to me, and hates me-" King: ''If Eng
land and Egypt fulfill my demands, shall accord
to the troops from Kassala and other endangered
places in the Soudan free passage through my
territory Also to thee and all of thine will I
allow safe escort through my realm, upon pay
ment of f200" l timidly observed that only
ESQ had been stipulated, and that his Majesty, in
the exercise of his sovereign power, had quad
rupled the price. No notice was taken of this
remark either by the King or any of his suite.

covery that my watch, handkerchief, snuffbox-
in short, all 1 had about me in the open pockets

Abyssinians. And they are to save the Soudan!

fine country for themselves.

Adverse Reports as to LOaning Army Tents
and Arms for the Purpose.
National Republican of Wednesday.
In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Cockrell reported
adversely from the committee on military affairs,
and recommended the indefinite postponement
of joint resolution which originated in the
House, and was favorably reported upon by the
military affairs committee of that body in March
last providing for the granting of the use of can
non, tents and muskets to ex- Union soldiers and
State military organizations for reunion pur
poses. Accompanying the report are copies of
letters received by Senator Cockrell through the
War Department, from the chief of ordinance
and the quartermaster general, in response to a
communication sent to the Secretary of War by
him asking for information as to the various de-
pots where field artillery, tents and muskets are
on hand, and the probable loss to the govern
ment if such articles were loaned for the pur-
poses named.
The quartermaster-g general reports that there
are no army tents on hand that can be spared.
He says that the tents now made for the army
are designed entirely to meet specific demands
OF the service, and are manufactured at the eX-
penSe of an appropriation for providing clothing,
camp and garrison equipment for the army and
can not be diverted to any other use without vio-
latlng the law of that appropriation. He says that
1t is a mistake to suppose that the department
has stock of tents in depots; that those left
over from the war have become worn out or lost
in the service that there are no funds with which
to replace them, and the bread and meat of the
army might as well be taken as its means of
shelter. He suggests that if it be desired that
the department furnish tents for use outside the
army specific appropriation be made for the
purpose
The chief of ordnance reports that there are
no condemned cannon or carriages on hand, and
that servceable cannon could not be issued
There are, he says, plenty of muzzle-loading
muskets that can be supplied for reunions, if
necessary.
In the report of the committee it is stated that
to supply tents, provided for in the resolution
would require an appropriation of at least $780,
900, and the tents so furnished would only last
few years. The committee also express the
opinion that that the Senate bill pending in the
House to increase the annual appropriation for
the purchase of arms, etc., for the militia of the
several States and Territories, will modify and
extend the provisions of the present law in re-
gard to furnishing arms and equipments to the
several States, by the general government, as far
as is wise or polite and that under that bill, if
it become law, the States can supply reunions
within their respective limits. The committee
say further that it would be source of confusion
and would eventually result in loss to the United
States if the government were to embark in the
business of loaning cannon, tents and muskets
to any and all reunions, encampments and State
military organizations.

One of His Old Secession Speeches Brought
Up to Kill His Candidacy.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal,
WAsHINGToN, June Ex-senator Bayard's
presidential goose has been very we'll cooked
here, yesterday and to-day, by the publication of
his secession speech at Dover DEL prior to the
war. He does not disclaim making the speech,
but falls back upon the lame justification of say
ing he was incorrectly reported. 1t seems that
the speech was reported by two reporters-one
Of them George Alfred Townsend" CATH
and that the words can be verified, as report
ed by number of gentlemen now prominent
in public life.
Mr.. Bayard claims to be glad that the speech
has again found its way in print He says it can
now be discussed fully before the convention
meets. Thatis true. 1t is being discussed, but
it is being discussed in very uncomplientary
way here. 1t has already ruined him before the
country. Virginian who knew Bayard well
before he made the speech, says there can be no
possible doubt that whether he uttered the
words attributed to him or not, he held those
sentiments. He says that Bayard, at the
time he spoke was very uneasy and troubled
lest the stars and stripes should win Delaware,
and that Bayard did all he could to wheel her
into the line of the stars and bars. Even the
ex-confederates repudiate Bayard They say
that the people of the North would not vote for
a man who drew the line, at any time of his life,
against the unity of the country.

Texas Democrats Chilled.

Fort WORTH, Tex, June 12-The Demo
cratic State convention held a late session last
night, balloting for delegates at large. After
midnight, in the midst of the balloting, Mr. Til
den's letter of declination, addressed to Mr..
Manning was read before the convention. Prior
to this moment in the convention there had
been the widest enthusiasm for Tilden and ''the
old ticket" The letter chilled the convention,
and the delegates were unable to exhibit the
usual enthusiasm after hearing the letter 1t is
probable the resolution indorsing Tilden will be
withdrawn and Thurmans name substituted
After o'clock the convention adjourned until
tomorrow.
The convention reassembled. The delegates
had not recovered from the depressing effect of
Mr.. Tilden's letter. A motion to reconsider yes
terdays vote instructing the delegates for Iilden
and Hendricks was tabled by vote of 3O1 to
1872 Notwithstanding the defeat of this motion
a resolution was Immediately adopted requesting
and directing the delegates to use their own
Judgment in the selection of candidates for
President and Vice president, leaving the dele
cation untrammeled with Instructions.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON June IA clash between the
two branches of Congress is anticipated over the
question of adjournment. The House is over
anxious that its resolution fixing Monday, June
80, as the day, be concurred in by the Sc nate
while it is suspected all around that the latter
body will retallate for the action of the former
in menacing the appropriations by refusing to
fix the day requested. 1t is believed by the Re-
publcans in the Senate, and some Democrats
too that it i'll ll-becomes the House to ask an ac-

of the Senate, and now it asks the latter to hurry
up and adjourn in time for the July convention
at Chicago. The Democrats in the House say
the action of the Senate in the matter will be
governed by the number of political speeches
the Republicans want to make. This is as un-
just as it is unfounded. Close fgurers say the
appropriations can not without marvellous
work, be completed in time to adjourn on June
80. Then there are several important bills
which must be passed, enough to run the session
well through July. If, however, Democratic
House wants to refuse to do anything but pass
appropriation bills during seven months ses
