How the People Are Suffering Whose
Homes Were Washed Away.
ST. LOUIS, July l2.-Late advices iron,
Leon, Mexico, the principle scene of the
recent great floods, say that the masses OF
people are packed in portals, stables and
IN every Available place of shelter, aver
aging one person to less than square yara
OF space, with piles of flag mating IN the
ground for beds, and few miserable rags
for cover. All able bodied men have been
sent away to work by the Governn.. 1T.
Rations OF bread and meat are issued and
everything possible done to relieve the
suffering. Children up to, 12 years of age,
among these masses, are without thread
OF clothing, and at night are wrapped in
whatever rags the family have for a cover
ing. Anything whatever of food or cloth
ing, no matter how poor, is received with
extreme gratitude.
In view of the character of the buildings
involved in the ruins, they being construct
eel OF adobe, and also of the great number
OF them which were destroyed, it is still be-
licved that the bodies OF many hundred
people are still in the ruins. Some three
hundred we're recovered, but the stencil
was so great, further search was abandoned.

Probable Removal.
WASHINGTON, July 11.-Many of Samuel
j. Randall's colleagues in Congress made
flying trips to-day over to his home,
which is only few blocks distantfr n the
capitol to enquire into his condition;
while messages were sent 10 and fro by the
members who could not go personally,
when occasion seemed to require it.
Mrs. Lancaster. the eldest daughter OF
Randall, came to the door and gave the
necessary Information to callers. She APP
peared to be more cheerful than yester-
day, and showed a confident belief that
her father would recover from the attack.
He rested quietly during the morning,
and has taken, and apparently assimi-
lated, liquid nourishtnent 1t is not the
expectation of the family, however shat
Randall will be able to resume the dis
cnarge OF his duties in Congress during the |
remainder oil the session, the intention
oelng TO remove him to a quiet place |
probably to his home at Paoli, Pa. as /
soon as his condition iustifies his re-
noval.
DIR. Lincoln called on Randall again this
evening" and found him bright and cheer
ul, in better condition generally than
arly in the day. He has begun to show
lgns OF returning strength. Early this
morning he had a slight chill, which was
oiloWed by a fever. but this has passed
way.
