A SOUTHERN FLOOD.
Heaviest Rainfall for Years in South
Carolina.
Many Railroad Bridges and Other
Property Swept Away.

COLUMBIA, S. c., May 23.-on Wednesday
night the heaviest rainfall for years occurred
here, and was general throughout the State.
Streams are swollen to an extent unknown
since the flood of 1852, and great damage has
been done to crops in the river bottoms, and
the loss of live stock must also be heavy.
The flood broke check dam at the head of
the Columbia canal, work on which was in
progress. and the swift current, being inter
cepfed by a ledge of rock, shot off against an
immense embankment, cutting it away In
several places On an island about 200 yards
from the ledge and forming part of the en-
bankrnent were located the city water works
and reservoir, which were obliterated by the
torrents. Trains on all the roads were
blockaded by. the washouts, and ON the
Columbia & Greenville road and its branches
several trains are caught out and unable to
90 either way on account of trestles being
down. The fine bridge over Broadway river
is said to be down. The trestle ON the east
bank of the Congaree, near here, went away
this morning, and the train from Augusta
due here at noon did not cross until o'clock.
The train due from Charleston at 10 o'clock
this morning is still out on account of sub
merged trestle.

Mr.. Blaine on the Fisheries.

IN. Y. Herald Despatch from Bar HarbOr.l
Mr.. James G.. Blaine, accompanied by Mrs.
Blaine, arrived here last evening. They
went to the Belmont Hotel previously to oc-
cupying the newly erected Blaine summer
summer villa. Mr.. Blaine never appeared
in better condition, physically and mentally,
in his recent life. He is strong fayorite
among the people here regardless of party
lines, and the average Bar Harbor resident is
disposed to utter verbal expressions of good
will and esteem to the extent of fuisom
praise.
'The fisheries question resolves itself into
a matter of fact. The fishermen ofthe United
States ought to have the privileges Of fishing
on any portion of the C asst and the adjacent
islands. The government of the United States
should demand-I say demand-0f England
return to the terms of the treaty OF 1883, when
the peace and separation between the mother
country and the successfully repelllous
colonies were arranged and legitimatized.
The treaty gave the United States the
same rights and privileges as regards the
fisheries that the residents Of the colonies
enioyed prior to the revolutionary war.

the coast of the provinces of New Bruins

made such claim after the war of 1872,
when the treaty of 1918 was formulated.
The treaty of 1888 has never been legitim-
ately set aside The treaty of 1888 was not
between two mutually acknowledged nations,
but between two portions of the same coun-
try The treaty gave birth to a nation and
fixed the future status of a nation. The
rights thus given a nation on its creation are
not to be abrogated by subsequent treaties,
unless national existence is wiped out entire
ly. Great Britain raised the point because
she discovered an increased value to the
fisheries
The question should be settled once for all.
The American fishermen should not be COM
PEELED to submit to any further arbitrary in
terference or be left in position to suffer as
they have suffered for many years l think
that England would yield the point if it
were pressed with all of the moral force OF
the United States" Mr.. Blaine expressed
himself with the energy customary with
him when deeply interested, and he rose
from his seat and paced the tloor as ne en-
phasized the last sentence. ,,,

THE TELEPHONE.
Prof. Alexander c. Bell Denies the
Story of Bribery.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Prof. Alexander
Graham Bell says that there is not particle
of truth in the story that he paid to Zenas
Fisk Wilbur, while he was an examiner in
the patent office, the sum of 500 for the in
formation contained in the cayeat of Prof.
Elisha Gray. Prof. Bell said last night:
/ have only seen Mr.. wilbur two or three
times in my life. The first time was when
he was patent examiner in the patent office
about the time when the Bell patent came
out but after the caveat had all been settled
The second time was about two years ago in
New York. We met on the street, and he
claimed acquaintance. did not recognize
him, and he introduced himself as Wilbur.
Even then did not know who he was, and
he then said that he was patent examiner
when our patent came out then said
was glad to see him. But as for the state
ment that ever paid him cent or offered
to pay him anything at any time, it is not
true. Neither do ] know of any one who
paid him anything. | know that at the time
the Bell patent was issued, would have
been glad to have had 800 in my possession.
l have never seen Wilbur, never had any
communication with him. and had never
heard of him until recently in connection
with these conflicting affidayits. There is
not a shadow of foundation fer the story.
Of course | am not in a position to answer
for the rest of the company, but | know that
any SUCH dcCuSdIlUu Implying " any ullCti
of the Bell Telephone Company in Washing
ton is equally false. They must be on their
last legs to get up such story as that.
The telephone investigation committee
was in secret session for about two hours
this afternoon, considering the offer made by
Mr. Young yesterday, of the additional evi-
dence touching the issue of the Bell patent.
The committee finally declined to go farther
into the investigation touching the allegation
that the patent was obtained by fraudulent
means, than was disclosed by the record of
the hearing before the Interior Department.
The following resolution was also adopted
without a division:
Resolved, That the evidence now be finally
closed, and that the committee proceed to make a
report to the House of the evidence adduced, and
their conclusions thereon
The committee will meet Monday next, land
it is expected that the members will express
their individual views on the evidence so as
to aid the chairman in the preparation of the
report.
