struction of Crops.

Great lnunoation In maryland and De-
struction of Crops.
FREDERICK Md, June 1st-The rain
has poured necessarily since Thursday
night. The wheat crop of this country has
been damaged TO an extent that cannot
| now be estimated, and the early fruit is
destroyed. The Potomac at Point of Rocks
and in that vicinity is rapidly overreaching
| its banks and the damage will be great.
| Advices from Westminster, Md, say the
surrounding lands are inundated and
many of the workmen unable to get TO
there homes.
Between New Winds and Linwood and
between Linwood and the Union
bridge the Western Maryland Rail-
i road is coveredwith water to a depth
of three feet by the waters of Little Pipe
creek, and the track is washed away for a
! considerable distance and two feet of
| water flows over
THE BRIDGE AT HARPER's FERRY,
| Which is heavily loaded with locomotives
| and cars. The tracks on both sides of the
| river are submerged, as they are at Point
| of Rocks and st. Johns Run, between
| Cumberland and Martinsburg. There are
| four small bridges undermined between
Glen Cove and Hyndman. The Cambria
branches leading to Johnstown and the
Salisbury branch are still blocked.
TELEGRAPH STATIONS ABANDONED.
BALTIMORE, June 1st-The rain in this
! vicinity caused damage that it will take
years to repair. A number of washouts on
the Baltimore and Ohio stopped all traffic
except the trains on the Washington
branch. The Potomac is over its banks
and many telegraph stations had to be
| abandoned as the water covered the tables.
Many operators were compelled to send
messages standing in the water up to their
waists. Many wharves here are covered
with water. The tide in the basin is the
highest in many years.
HIGH WATER AT CUMBERLAND.
WESTMINSTER (Md), June LIST. - The
greatest rain experienced in Carroll county
for many years has prevailed since Thurs
| day. All the low lands bordering on
streams are submerged. Many narrow
escapes from drowning are reported from
New Windsor to Linwood. The Western
| Morgland Railroad is inundated to a depth
of from one to three feet. At Cumberland
| nearly 100 families were compelled TO
leave their homes by the rapidly rising
water, in wagons and boats No fatalities
| are reported.
ALL COMMUNICATION SHUT OFF.
ELLCoTT CITY Md, June 1st.-Hundreds
| of people line the banks of the Patapaci
| to-day watching the rushing floods which
| have receded but a few inches since last

have been swept down stream. The only
death reported is that of William Hudson.

The News of the Disaster at Washington
The Dead and Homeless.
WASHINGTON, June 1st-As fuller news
of the terrible flood at JohuStown, Penn,
reaches the city the most intense excite
ment and sympathy prevail. The Presi-
dent this morning received private tel
egrem from there announcing 800 dead
bodies lying on the hills and 10000 people
homeless, and asking for tents, etc. He at
once sent for the Acting Secretary of War
10 have tents sent at once. The President
will also send a telegram of sympathy and
coincidence to the Mayor of Johustown.
Private Secretary Halford's wife and daugh-
ter are on the train in the neighborhood OF
them. They should have reached here last
night.
The Acting Secretary of War has tel
egraphed the Governor of Pennsylvania
asking him to ascertain the number OF
tents needed and if he could not furnish
them from those used by the National
Guard in that State. The tents belonging
to the Government are nearly all in use.

CANADIAN VIEWS
On the Bebring Sea Controversy-They
Claim That Peace is Endangered.


Claim That Peace is Endangered.
New YORK, June 1st-The Herald this
morning publishes a three-column dispatch
from Ottawa giving the history of the seal
fishery troubles between the United States
and Canada. 1t is held that this Govern
ment now claims a right which she long
ago denied to Russia before the Alaska
purchase, and which Russia was forced to
surrender. When the United States bought
the territory from Russia we could acquire
no greater right than Russia had. The
ground taken is that this change of base is
due to the Alaska Commercial Company.
War may come. The British commanders
orders are not known, but if like former
orders he may use force to protect Cana
dian sealers. But if there is no chance of
collision between the sQuadrons of the
two powers there is more than the posi-
bility of blood being shed in an encounter
between the sealers and the crews of the
revenue cutters. The people interested in
the sealing industry in British Columbia
have determined to prosecute their calling
at all hazards, and if they are interfered
with they will treat the intermeddler as a
pirate The Herald concludes: ''Of one
thing the people of the United States may
be assured, peace between the two great
English-speaking people is endangered not
in the true interests of the people of the
republic, bat in the interests of the Alaska
Commercial Company

ELMIRA On. ", June lst.-The damage
done to property in this county by the

BUFFALO, June lst.-But one train left

the railroad authorities are afraid TO start

a dispatch from Clean says: The sup
ply pipe of the water-works in that place
is broken and the city is without drinking
water. The citizens are alarmed over their
helpless condition in case a fire should
break out. All the streams in Erie county
are swollen beyond their banks and great
damage is done in the counties of Catanags
and Chatauqua. At Hornellsville, on the
Erie road, the people are moving about in
boats, though the water there is subsiding

Admiral Gherardi Presents His Views on
Haytian Affairs.

WASHINGTON, June 1st.-Admiral Cher
ardi of the South Atlantic Squadron, who
has just returned from Hayti in the United
States steamer Galena, was at the Navy
Secretary Tracy. In speaking of the situa-
ton down there, the Admiral said he did
not think there vas any truth in the rumor
of treaty between France and General
Legitime, but he thought it probable that
that the latters Representatives in Paris
had made such proposition to the French
Government The Admiral thought that
General Hippolyte would triumph in the
contest and overthrow General Legitime and
his followers.
The Admiral believed it to begood policy
to keep one or two vessels on hand there,
but he does not look for French interfer-

Los ANGELES, June 1st.-Linette Osborne
Callen was born in San Fran cisco about
twenty years ago, and her parents still re-

tiful girl, and this proved fatal to her, for
she was led astray at an early age, and

has been one of the most notorious women
of her kind on the coast Yesterday she
