Davitt interviewed.

LONDON, June 16.-Michael Davitt,
the Irish leader, in an interview as to
his opinion ON the question Of the COM
plicity Of Alexander Sullivan in the MUIR
der of DR.. Cronin, said: II have read of
the arrest with the greatest astonish-
ment. l have the highest opinion of the
character of Sullivan. ] think the
charge that he has been implicated in
any way In the assination of DIR. Cronin
is absurd. also think that the allega-
tions that he ever misappropriated one
penny of the funds of the national
league are groundless. believe him to
have been the very soul Of honor. So
far from having enriched himself out of
the funds of the league he had to my
own personal knowledge drawn ON his
own resources for the aid of that organi-
zation.

Incendiarlsm at COrvallis.

CORVALLIS, Or, June 15.-Last night
about 8 80 o'clock the South school
building, near the Southern Pacific
depot, burned to the ground. There
had been no fire in it for at least two
weeks. Water was turned on it from
the engine but did little good.
Shortly after the fire engines had been
housed flames were seen rising from the
rear of a China house on the east side Of
Main street, in front Of the Benton
County bank. 1t was soon extinguished
and cotton and rags saturated with coal
oil were found. This raised the indigna-
ton Of the citizens, and Immediately a
meeting was held on street corner. 1t
was decided to.have the mayor offer $3.50
reward for the arrest and conviction of
any person caught in the act of incen-
diarism in this city. Several extra
watchmen were put on the force last
night.

high all the spring, and the heavy rains
Saturday night brought them ont of
their banks, flooding the bottoms for
miles on either side.
There has been no loss of life or live
stock, and those living on the lowlands
were warned in time, but it is feared
that hundreds of acres of wheat, which
was just ripening and promised a very
large yield, will be almost total loss,
while the submerged corn and other
crops will be greatly damaged.
LOSS OF LIFE,
ELDoRADo, Kas., June 17.-Theupper
valley of the Walnut is flooded from
excessive rains, and the streams are
higher than for years. Saturday night
the river came up so suddenly that a
family named Graham started for their
home to the highland, but the mother
and babe were drowned The father
and one child escaped. Grain fields are
flooded and much damage must result.
A portion OF the Missouri Pacific track
is washed away There have been no
trains in over the Santa Fe since yester-
day. 1t is surmised that a number OF
people are drowned in the lower valley.
The water is receding this morning.

The Kansas storm.

ST. LOUIS, June 17.-Additional adj
vices about the disaster in Kansas from
the wind and rain storm are that Union
town, fifteen miles west of Fort Scott, is
swept away, and two women and four
children drowned. Uniontown is a
place of 900 inhabitants, in the midst of
thickly settled country. 1t is feared
the loss Of life is heavier than reported.
AS the wires are down for fifteen miles
on either side nothing can be learned.
The storm struck the western part of
Bourbon county late at night, coming
from the west, where it played great
havoc. At Augusta it assumed the form
OF cloud burst.
In Fort Scott it commenced raining
Sunday morning very heavily. This
caused food, carrying away several
houses. The part of Fort Scott known
as Belltown is entirely under water and
the railroads are inundated and washed
out.
