A Score or More Of Persons Lose Their Lives
During Rain Storm at Wheeling
WHEELING, ". Va. July IA terrific
rain storm prevailed here this evening,
flooding cellars and distributing debris
from the hillsides on many thoroughfares,
rendering them impossible. While a
number of people were standing on the
bridge of the Baltimore & Ohio, span
ming the Wheeling river, it gave way
precip1tating twenty or thirty persons
into the river. Eight were rescued, but
it is feared ten to twenty persons have
persisted. st Caldwell's Run, in the lower
end of the city, four dwellings, were swept
away and eleven persons drowned.
The particulars of the food show that
it is simply appalling. Of the people
swept away on the bridge ten are known
to be saved. Several of the
rescued are on q tow boat
which could not land at the wharf,
owing TO the current, and had to seek a
landing lower down. The river rose
three feet in fifty minutes. The Wheel
ing & Elm Grove railroad was swept
away for miles, and tbs roads covered
with six feet OF water.

IN GENERAL,
TERMS OF PEACE.
The Proposition Of the Brotherhood to Settle
the Strike With the Road.

The Proposition Of the Brotherhood to Settle
the Strike With the Road.
CHIoAGo.-A proposition somewhat
as follows, has been submitted by
the Brotherhood of Engineers to General
Manager Stone, of the Burlington. The
strike will be declared off and the men go
back to work; they will admit defeat, but
the road must exonerate the Brotherhood
as body, from all intended acts OF
violence, and certain temporary change
in the roads management must be made.
The road makes this proposition: De-
clare the strike off. The men must admit
the strike failure and apply for work
as individuals and in the ordinary way.
There will be no Wholesale slaughter of
tee men now at work, and Brotherhood
men will be given work whenever the
business warrants.
The general feeling among the ex,
employees of the Burlington road is that
the strike will not be declared off by the
committee now in session. The men ere
confident that if the Brotherhood holds
out little longer the road will have
to succumb to the demands of the
strikers. To give up now would be to
leave the men in just the same position
they now occupy, as the company has
given it out fat-footed that no settle
ment can be reached, and that in the
event of the strike being declared at an
end the old employees must wait their
turn for positions, which means in effect
that those at work at present will hold
still tig liter to their places.

W. Fuller, of Chicago, was confirmed as
chief justice of the United States
supreme court. The speaking on the case
was b. Senators Edmunds, Evarts and
Stewart in opposition, and by Senators
Farwel and Cuilom in defense of Fuller.
No democrats spoke. The vote was Il to
20. After the doors were opened, Senator
Sherman gave notice he would ask the
senate 70 resume consideration of the
fisheries treaty tomorrow. Senator
Dolph called up the bill to prohibit the
coming of Chinese laborers into the
United States. A debate between Dolph,
Mitchell and Morgan followed, and without
action the senate adjourned.
HoLss.-In the house to day, the con-
ference report on the river and harbor bill
was presented. As agreed upon in con-
ference, the bill appropriates $50, las. 116.
The senate amendment for the purchase
of the improvement known as the Green
and Barren improvement, was agreed to.
There is 10 appropriation for any canal
project. The senate receded from the
amendment provi3ing for the purchase
of the Portage Lake canal and the Lake
Superior Ship canal railway and
the Iron company canal. The
senate amendment for a survey of
canal from Lake Michigan to the Des-
PLANES river was agreed TO, also the SEN
ate amendment providing for the survey
and location of a canal from the Illinois
liver at Or near the town
of Hennepin, to the Mississippi
river; also the senate amendment for the
survey of canal connecting the waters
of Lake Michigan with the Calumet
river. But the government is not to be
deemed committed to these projects nor
indeed to any other project for which
survey is ordered in this bill, as will be
seen by the following clause added To
that section of the bill making an appro-
priation for the examinations, surveys,
contingencies, etc, viz; "And provided
further that the government shall not be
deemed to have entered upon any project
for the construction or improv ement OF
any waterway, harbor or canal mentioned
in this bill unless or until the work of
construction shall have been actually ap-
propriated." The house at the evening
session passed "a private pension bills
and at 1890 adjourned

CONTRACTING DARWIN.
The Great Scientists Theory of the Forma, ion
of Coral Reefs Now Discredited

of Coral Reefs Now Discredited
When Darwin was young man. the
work that did more than anything else
to give him a wide reputation as rising
man of science was his investigation OF
his coral reefs On the Pacific during the
cruise of the Beagle, and his famous
theory with regard TO their origin, which,
for half century, was accepted by the
scientific world as the correct explanation.
Darwi1's theory, says writer in the New
York Sun, is now rejected by some of the
leading authorities on deep sea inyesti-
CATION. The most recent contribution to
this slbject is the work just published by
Professor Alexander Agassiz on the
oceanic researches of the United States
steamer Blake. during which his investi-
cations of the coral reefs OF the coast
of Florida have led him TO reject the Oar
winlan theory as correctly explaining
their origin.
Lit was Professor Darwin's belief that
the reef building polypi, which exists
only at comparatively shert distances be-
low the surface, laid the foundations of
their corral structures in shallow waters.
and the gradual subsistence of the ocean
had enabled them continually to add to
the height of their structures, while thew
themselves remained in the limited
depths of the reef-coral zone. In this
way he believed the great organic groups
OF atolls which rise from very deep water
were formed, and he wholly rejected the
assumption that immense piles of sedi.
ment heaped on the floor of the oceans
far remote from land could have made
the basis for the coral formations.
In ID. T. Guppy's recent paper on cor
al reefs ne shows that this explanation,
which Darwin rejected for lack of evil
dence, is the very theory which the recent
researches have tended to support: That
many Of Darwin's areas of subsistence
are, in fact, areas of elevation, and that
the discoveries of Murray, A. Agassiz,
Buchanan, and others go to show that,
upon vast deposits of caIcareous remains,
deep sea corals are reared until they
reach level suitable for the growth of
reef -corals.
Professor Whitney tells US that as late
as 1884 the leading text book on geogra-
ply used in American Schools announced
that the Alleghanies were the most con-
siderable mountains in North America,
and that "tho Andes and the Alleghanies
are probably the same range interrupted
by the Gulf of Mexico" In the present
state of geographical knowledge such
plumbers are no longer possible, but
some of our long-oherished views on
problems On physical geography are re-
celvlng severe treatment at the hands of
the latest Investigators.

SUNDAY LABOR IN GERMANY.

Industrial Germany has reached such a
pass in the prosecution of its enterprises
that the practice of dividing the Sunday
from the rest of the week has become
the exception rather than the rule. So
prevalent is this disregard of the day of
rest that the imperial government has
been making an inquiry all over the en-
pire with view to considering the pro-
Priety of rekulating Sunday labor by
legislation, and the results of the investi-
cation, have been forwarded to Wash
ington by the United States council at
1eipsic. The most complete statistics
were gathered in Prussia, and these will
afford doubtless a fairly accurate view of
the subject. Some 500, 156 establishments
of all kinds in the 80 Prussian admins
trative districts, employing 1,5SG,OO0
hands, made detailed statements from
which it appears that 2SS,939 establish
ments or 57.7 per cent. employing 66S,0OO
hands or 1922 per cent. work ON Sundays
while the remainder do not. The larger
establishments, as general rule, do less
Sunday work than the smaller ones. In
trade and transportation the practice of
laboring seven days in week is even
more prevalent. Here us per cent. of
the establishments and SIS of the labor
ers are so employed. Such is the con-
dition of things in Prussia. by far the
most extensive and important state OF
the empire; Saxony, on the other hand
prohibits Sunday labor in the manu-
featuring and farming industries. But
this is an exception to the general prac
tice over the empire. Tie figures are
certainly startling, doubly so when we
consider that the German laborer works
more hours a day by three and five thar
does the Englishman. The whole ten
dency of the times in the empire seems
to be in the direction of harder work
and longer days and weeks, and to what
ends The German laborer is more poor
ly paid than the English laborer In the
Toll of IA hours day and seven days
week he reaps less reward than does
the lat, in nine hours of work a day
and less than six week. And how much
richer material is the nation because Of
it all?
