Mr.. G. p. HUNTINGTON has ex-
hibited once more that sound sense
which has always distinguished his
management of his own affairs. He
has refused to buy Prince Hatzfeldts
title at the valuation set upon it by
its owner. There are plenty OF
eligible young men in America who
are better than Prince Hatzfeldt was
when he was new and who do not
ask their wives to pay their gam
bling debts.

MY friend, said, after swallowing the
lump which suddenly gathered in my
throat, "is there any good reason why the
sheriff should want to overtake you. This
is rather blunt, I'll admit, but if / hurt your

No economic discussion has ragged
more firercely than that over the
doctrine OF Nautilus, who threw out
the awful suggestion that the hui
man race would outgrow its means
of subsistence. The subject has had
fresh attention drawn to II by the
publication Of recent European
statistics, which conclusively de-
monstratc that the birth rate Is de-
creasing In England and In every
nation on the continent, In spite of
the fact that production Is increas-
ing. Indeed the facts are 80 strik-
ing that the philosophers feel war
ranted in plomulgating II new
theory, almost the reverse of that OF
Malthus, and that Is that civilization
will constantly widen the interval
between safety and the starvation
line. In other words, il IL now Ms
sumed that only ignorant, barhar-
ous aud savage people will press
upon the limit of subsistence; all
Others will instinctlvely avoid the
danger.

ANOTHER BROKEN DAM.
A Kansas Village Flooded and
Several Lives Lost.
Bridges Swept and the Growing
Crops Greatly Damaged,

The bursting of a dam at Uniontown, Kan,
flooded the towns of Uniontown and Bell
town, and several lives were lost. Union
town is about fifteen miles west of Fort
Scott, on the Wichita and Western Railway.
Two women and four children were drowned
The place has 600 inhabitants. 1t is in the
midst of a thickly settled country.
The storm struck the western part of Bour-
bon County late at night, coming from the
west, where it had played great havoc At
Augusta it assumed the form of a cloud burst
In Fort Scott it commenced raining about
o'clock in the morning. Old residents say
it was the hardest rain in thirty years. The
water commenced rising in Buck Run at s A.
NJ. Lamb & Mead's ice dam, on Sixth street,
burst about 10 A. NJ, causing the water in
Buck Run to rise at the rate of about three
feet an hour, carrying away several houses
and the bridge across Sixth street. The part
of Fort Scott known as Belltown was entirely
under water. People were taken out with
boats.
Several bridges were washed out, and trains
were stopped on both sides of Fort Scott
The Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota track was
under water for about nine miles out. The
Memphis road was badly damaged for about
1000 feet ten miles north of Fort Scott. All
the people in the bottom in east Fort Scott
moved out.
The upper valley of the Walnut was flooded
from excessive rains The river came up so
suddenly that a family named Graham start
ed from their home to the highland. The
mother and babe were drowned, the father
and one child escaping. Grain fields are flood
ed, and much damage must result.
Allen County, Kansas, has suffered severe
ly from floods in the Neosho River and its
principal tributaries. The streams have been
unusually high all spring.. and heavy
rains brought them out of their
banks, flooding the bottoms for mile or
more on either side. Hundreds Of acres of
wheat, which was just ripening and promised
a very large yield, are almost total loss,
while the submerged corn and other
crops will be greatly damaged. The
st. Louis, Wichita and Western Railroad
bridge across Rock Creek, east of lola, has
been undermined, and is only held by the iron
track from going down stream. Nearly
quarter of a mile of track has been
washed from the bed, while the road
bed has been seriously damaged. Near the
river west of lola a large number of
small bridges and culverts along the wagon
roads have been washed out.

THE TREATY SIGNED.
Work of the Samoan Conference in
Berlin Accomplished.

The agreement negotiated by the Commits
sioners to the Samoan Conference for the
settlement of affairs in Samoa has been
signed by all the members of the Confer
ence.
America having abandoned her principal
objections to the agreement previously ar
rived at, the plenipotentiaries had only to
make unessential notifications in the word
ing of the draft. The draft guarantees an au-
tonomous administration of the islands under
the joint control of Germany and America,
England acting as arbitrator in the event
of difference arising. The Samoans are
to elect their own King and Viceroy,
and to be represented. in Senate COM
posed of the principal chiefs and Chambers
elected by the people. Samoa is to have the
right of levying duties of every kind The
agreement also stipulates that the Germans
shall receive a money indemnity for their
losses. A special court will be appointed to
deal with the land question.
The Americans made their adhesion condi-
tional upon the ratification Of the agreement
by the United States Senate next December
The status quo will, therefore, obtain in
