sixteen, the adopted daughter If DR.. Birdsalli

SPORT.
A Rattling Six Round Mill Fought on
Long island.

New York, August l2.-fSpecial Tele-
gram to The BEE. early this morning
Jack Grace of Brooklyn and Billy Clark of
Chicago fought six hot rounds, which lasted
three minutes, on the second floor of a house
on the Jamaica plank road. The fight was for
a purse of 500 and an outside stake. 1t was
awarded to Clark on a foul.
About seventy-five sporting men witnessed
the fight. The contest was a most bitter one.
Grace did all the leading and was awarded
first blood in the first round. He smashed
the stomach of his adversary with his left
whenever he pleased and used his right with
good results on the head. At the end of the
third round both men were very much weak
ened from hard fighting. Grace fouled i'll the
fourth round and was cautioned that upon n
repetition the fight would be given to Clark.
in the fifth and sixth rounds Grace had it
all his own way, and the betting was $50 to
$50 in his favor. Clark was almost done for
at the call of time at the close of the sixth
round when Grace, who had evidently not
heard time keepers call, walked over to
ClarK's corner and punched him. Clark's
second claimed a foul and he was given the
fight. The trainers and hackers wrangled
over the referees decision and Flaherty, the
trainer for Grace, demanded that 1t be
changed. The referee declined TO do SO, and
Flahcrty grabbed him and gave him a terri
Bile humping. The referee broke away, and
was driven rapidly way in his coach.

Wheat and all grains in northwestern Iowa
will yield less than one third of an average
crop. In many counties, as in Woodbury.,
Plymouth and Cherokee, rust has severely
attacked wheat and oats and probably not
more than One-hali the fields viii be cut and
the grain threshed out. Many of the farm
ers will cur oats only for rough
feed for stock. The fields that
will be harvested will not produce more than
the fraction of IA crop. Even the fields of
grain which otherwise promised fairly, are
now twisted and tangled by the storms of
the past few days so that there must be in
any event great loss in the yield.
Thls Is the real situation, and 1t obtains to
n greater or less extent up TO the Minnesota
state line, or through the intervening three
tiers of counties etwcen Sioux City and that
line.
Passing to southern Dakota there are nu-
mCrous considerable sections in which the
same situation exists. 1t is even worse in
because more wheat and grain are raised in
the former than in tho latter. Many Dakota
farmers, too, are poor and in debt and had
high hopes Of abuudant crops. The corn,
which is the least damaged of any crop, is
seriously injured in many localities
in both southern Dakota and north
western Iowa. Han and high
wind storms, which have played havoc in the
green fields, have also blown down and
broken the corn. Corn was not in good
shape TO resist the wind, because the late
spring was followed by hot weather and
frequent light showers. These caused the
roots 10 spread near to the surface, instead
of striking deep as usual, so that it did not
require "a heavy wind to PROSTATE il. In the
track of some of the storms Of the past week
great fields Of corn have thus been lcvelled
to the ground.
Wet and cold weather has cnsued and con.
tinues. Corn is maturing very slowly. The
crop was two weeks late to begin with. All
these things enhance the peril from frost.
Tho past week or ten days, therefore, has
put an entirely new and less suspicious face
on the crop outlook in this section. Before
that harm it was exceedingly bright. Ever
now it is not to be understood that disaster is
impending, but only that the reports which
are current ut a distance based on tho condl
tions of II week ago are to be taken with
many serious deductions.

WAHoo, Neb., August 12.-[Special to THE
BEE. Yesterday Governor Thayer and Ad-
iutant General Cole came to Wahoo to look
over the grounds offered by Wahoo for the
encampment of the national guards. They
were met at the depot by a large delegation
of the citizens and in carriages were shown
over the city and the grounds and the ad-
v~antages pointed out, which Wahoo possessed
over other places for the encampment. The
band screnGded the governor and adiutant
general last night, after which speeches
were made by both. A reception was held in
the hotel parlors, and the distinguished
guests were banqucted and the time was
spent in a pleasant social way till their de-
parture on the $50 train for Lincoln.
They were escorted TO the train by the band
and several hundred citizens, who sent up
cheer after cheer for their popular governor
till the train moved off.
On Thursday the Sunday base ball players

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, August 12. The
steamer City of Sydney, from Yokohoma,
brings particulars Of the volcanic eruption
of Bandai San on July 10. The inhabitants
of the villages around Bandai San heard
strange rumbling sounds, and felt shocks of
earthquake ON July 13. which continued for
two days and nights, but not being attended
by serious results, no great disquietude was
felt. On the 18th, about S O'Clock a. m, the
smaller Bandai San trcmbled and
roared as though a hundred thun-
der storms were combined, AL
most Immediately afterwards ashes began
to fall. the sky suddenly grew dark. and the
rumOlinG sounds continued, accompanied by
a violent earthquake and a flare of dazzling
flame. The crest of the smaller Bandal San
appeared to be lifted bodily upwards and
then to fail again with a tremendous noise.
Then followed showers of red mud mingled
with largo stones, spreading havoc around.
In five villages the greater part of the houses
were buried to a depth of from seven TO
twenty feet.
The state of the bodies recovered is terri
Bile. Some were literally cut 10 pieces, while
others are parDoiled so that it is scarcely
possible to distinguish between men
and women. A few Corpses We're

A FLOOD IN KANSAS CITY.
The Heaviest Rainfall Since the Cy-
clone of 1896.

KANSAS CITY, August 11.-fSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. THE storm last night
was disastrous to property in the west bot
toms. The rain poured down the bluffs in
rivers, flooding the union depot platform to a
depth of nearly a foot and covering the
tracks with a layer Of clay mud several
inches in depth. The baggage room, which
is the lowest part of the depot, was filled
with water to a depth of nearly two feet, and
much damage was done to the baggage. All
the morning men were engaged in washing
out the mud from the platforms and baggage
rooms. Every cellar on Union avenue is
filled with water. Under the Blom house
there is three feet of water and nearly all the
property stored there is utterly destroyed.
The same thing is true of all the
Easements along the avenue. Depot Master
Watson said that no such flood has occurred
since the cyclone of May, 1856, and even then
there was not so much water and mud pre-
cipitated at the depot. When the water be-
gan to flow into the cellars on Union avenue
hundreds of rats made their appearance on
the street and first floor, and a lively contest
was engaged in between them and the night
watchmen. Thu damage on the bottoms Will
amount to several hundred dollars. Thu en-
giucers and conductors arriving on the trains
from the west report severe storms through
Kansas and Nebraska. The engines came in
bespattercd with mud. Every train was late
this morning, and all the wires are down.
WashOuts of "a minor nature are reported on
all the roads, but they are not serious enough
to delay trains or cause much damage.

WILL NOT BE DECEIVED.
Old Soldiers Able to distinguish Be-
tween Friends and Enemies.

WHITE CLAY CREEK, Neb., August II.
TO the Editor Of TIE BEE: 1 notice
in the Omaha Herald of the 9Th instant
an article headed Cleveland and the Old
Soldiers 1t goes on to inform those
old soldiers about all the good things that the
boys in blue have received from Mr.. Cleve.
land and the democratic party in the way of
pensions. Now these soldiers are not such
fools or so dull as the copperhead Herald.
would have them to be. The Herald tells the
old soldiers and tho people at large of the great
number of pension bills that Mr.. Cleveland
approved, but it takes good care not to speak
about the great number OF vetOcS. The Omaha
Herald is no friend TO the old soldier. II is only
one year ago when tho Herald pounded the
old soldiers on the back because they refused
to march IN front of Mr.. Cleveland at the
national encampment, and two years ago the
same Herald pattcd Mr.. Cleveland on the
back and called him brave because he vetoed
the dependent pension bill, and at the same
time it abused the old soldiers by calling
them all kind of names. This the Old soldiers
of Nebraska know. 1t is no use for the Her
aid to try and make the old soldiers believe
that the democratic party is their friend.
The United States senate passed a general
pension bill at this ses sion of,congress. That
bill has been in the house for some time, and
no republican member dare say one word
about calling it up. II he should some briga!
der will jump up and stop it. Now the old
soldiers don't propose to let the brigadiors
run this country any longer than next No
vember. The old soldiers are going to put
men in Office who will respect that dear old
flag that they fought for and saved. When
next November comes the editor of the Her
aid win see all the old soldiers stand shoulder
to shoulder against the copperheads and
brigadiers. They are going to cast the votes
just as they shot. AN E~X-SoLDIER.

COMING WEEK IN CONGRESS-.
Important Measures to BE Considered
Ey Both HouSeS,

WASHINGTON, August l2.-The fisheries
treaty promises to absorb the attention of
the senate all of the present week, Should
it be disposed of before the end of the week,
the bill to admit Washington Territory will
be brought up.
In the house several hours debate are We:
to be had on the subject of the French
spoliation claims before the general deficiency
appropriation bill can be passed. After this
is disposed of, further action of the house
will in a measure depend on the committee
on foreign affairs. If that committee can be
gotten together early in the week it will
doubtless request the house TO enter imme-
diately on the consider alton of the senate
bill to give effect TO the Chinese treaty.
