Land Acquisition in Alaska.

WASHINGTON, June 4-Representative
Payson, of Illinois, to-day reported from
the committee on public lands substitute
for the Senate bill for the acquisition of
land for townsites and commercial pur-
poses in Alaska. The committee in the
accompanying report says that while the
Senate bill proposes partial relief it does
not go far enough. The report refers to
the fact that during the twenty-five years
that Alaska has been in the possession of
of the United States there has been. with
the exception of mining laws, absolutely
no legislation tending to encourage its
development. They were offered protec-
ton for the investment of their capital and
labor to several thousand Americans there
The House committee on mines and min
ing to-day agreed upon a bill having for its
object the better protection of the lives of
persons employed in coal mines in the
territories. There are but three territories
that will be affected by the provisions of
the bill, viz: Alaska, Idaho and Indian
territory, as they care the only ones Sin
which coal is mined. The bill provides for
the appointment of mine inspectors; for
furnishing mines with machinery and
other appliances necessary to the safety of
employees where these are inadequate;
compels the owners or managers TO provide
at least two shafts, slopes or other out
lets separately by the natural strata of not
less than $50 feet in breath by which
shafts, slopes or outlets distinct means of
ingress and egress shall always be avail
able to persons employed in said mines,
and makes the employment of child labor
in mines misdemeanor.

ton from Portsmouth, Va, to Belmont,

OMAHA, Neb., June IL Especial tele-
gram to TIE HGRtLD]-An alarm of fire
was turned in to the department about
1915 o'clock tonight, the fire being 10
Gated in the Carter White Lead works at
Twentieth street and the Union Pacific
track. When the fremen arrived tAc
whole middle portion Of the large establish
ment was in flames and it was at ones as
certained that it would require the whole
department to successfully combat tie
flames. a general alarm resulted but
without avail, and inside OF an hour the en-
tire plant was in ruins, although tho fire
department labored earnestly TO subduo
the flames. The loss is total and is esti-
mated at $780, 900 the plant alone
being variously estimated at $780,
900, being the largest lead works
in the west, giving employment TO
fifty hands. The company had very large
stock of lead on hand, which was
destroyed. It is thought the fire originated
in the blow room OF the works and before
the department could respond, being in a
very inaccessible place, the whole estab-
lishment was in flames. During the fire a
gas pipe exploded, seriously iniuring one
OF the hremen. 1t is thought that the place
is covered by insurance, although the fact
could not be ascertained

Missouri, as conferees on the anti trust
bill. Bland said as the House had in
Structed the conferees to recede from its
amedement he had no further interest in

The House then went into committee of

companied by vivid lightning and deafen-
ing thunder. In short time every street
was river, and soon devastating floods
were sweeping through the Kent and Keith
creeks valleys. Down Keith creek district
came the flood, sweeping everything be
fore it. The water spread over the low
lands, filling cellars, creeping up into the
first stories OF houses and driving people
from their beds. The basement stories
OF the Cooperative and Forest
City furniture factory are flooded
many feet deep. Lumber piles, besides the
factories, were picked up and carried along,
the planks and heavy timbers proving bat
tering rams which took down the bridges
spanning the creek. The fire department
and police worked hard all night conveying
people from the flooded districts to places
of shelter Many fled from their houses
when the water began to run in their Gel
lars fearing they would be carried away.
So far as learnedn no lives were lost. The
city this morning presented scene of
desolation. The entire lower portion was
lake covered with floating debris. The
Illinois Central and Milwaukee railroad
companies are the heaviest losers. Many
cattle and sheep were drowned and con-
siderable damage done to residences which
were flooded. The waters receded to-day
almost as quickly as they had risen.

A German Colonial Council.

BERLIN, June 14.-It has been decided to
appoint colonial council to take cogniz-
ance of the increasing mass of colonial
work. The council will be composed of
persons who have won recognition as ex-
plorers in Africa and other countries.
An enormous meeting of Social Dem
ocrats held in the Kolksbrnaerei at Moa-
bit, a suburb. The immense building was
packed to suffocation, and thousands were
unable to obtain admission and overflow
meetings were held. The meeting was
very exciting; the speakers freely criti-
cised the socialist and labor policy of the
Emperor. The meeting passed a resolu-
ton censuring the Kaiser for his labor re-
scripts. The day had passed, the resolu-
ton set forth, when Germany could be gov
erned by resoripts. The people demand a
full and unrestrained share in the govern
ment of the empire and it could not be
with safety denied them.

Sullivan VIII be Snnhhed-

Especial TO THE HERALD-EXaminer Dispatch
WASHINGTON, June 14-John L. Sullivan
may get severe snubbing from the Colum
bia Athletic club. The board of governors
invited him to give an exhibition before the
Aembers anda number OF Congressman.
This action has brought storm of protests
upon the managers heads which threatens
toannihilate them at the next election. The
Athletic club mas 500 members and has lust
completed and moved into one of the finest
club houses in the country and the CON
sentative element say. they do not intend to
bring themselves down 10 the level of prize
lighters and entertain John l.. Sullivan.
\ call for a special meeting of the Climb
has been largely signed. At this meeting
the club intends TO overrule the board of
managers and withdraw the invitation to
Sullivan. This Is the way one prominent
member of the club talks in regard to the
affair: ''Sullivaa's professional fame rests
upon has success ii the lowest and most
degraded occupation that man can follow
that of prize fighting. His character is
such that his career as a prize fighter even
1haS been made notorious by drunken
'sprees, we beating and bullying episodes,
and iunumerable attractions of the law
AT the present time he is under Indictment
Tor an ofIense against the laws of the state
OF Mississippi, and he is now on his way IN
that state 10 serve out the sentence of the
court. II is an open secret that if he can
gain the moral support Of so respectable an
organization as the Columbia Athletic club
he hopes to secure the aid and countenapce
of the Mississippi delegation in Congress-
and other prominent Mississippians whose
attendance he counts upon to thwart
the ends of justice. 1t does NOT
seem To me that such a club as
the Columbia Athletic club can
afford TO lend itself to such disreputable
scheme. 1t Is safe to say that John l.. will
not give his exhibition before Congressman
as intended"

ing the only one leading to this city which

JOLIET, Ills, June 1.-THE heaviest and
most damaging rain ever known here fell
steadily all last night, commencing with a
waterspout which completely inundated
the northern. eastern and southern por-
lions of the city. AT an early hour this.
morning the people in the southern part of
the city were compelled to move out in
boats. Small outbuildings are floating
around and men and boys are sailing about
on RATS and in boats picking up articles of
household furniture. The street car tracks
in many places are three feet under water,
and the electric road is stopped. Great
damage to fences and gardens has been
done. Many railroad bridges in this vicin-
ity are washed out and trains delayed. The
flood began to subside this afternoon.
