Rise in the San Felipe Does Great Damage.
Bridges Gone-Trsins Delayed.
Special to the Gazette,
DEL Rio, TEX. Sept. 1.-THE heavi-
est rain for years fell here Tuesdav
night. The San Felip is higher than
ever known. The new iron bridge just
finished at q cost of $4,000 was washed
away. Several houses in East Del Rio
were washed down. Several fam
lilies had TO leave their houses
to save themselves. The damage to
roads and bridges is incslculabIe. The
eastbouad passenger train which left
here at a. m. yesterday was ditched
eight miles east of here. Have heard of
no loss of life. The Rio Grande is higher
than for years, and another rise is re-
ported coming down. If this is the case
the farmers between here and Eagle Pass
will suffer greatly. No trains for several
days. Streams in all directions are re-
ported very high.

The Situation at Southampton.

LONDON, Sept. lin the event of
the Southampton strike continuing an
! other week several steamship companies
will cease to make Southampton their
terminus. The loss of patronage thus
resulting will prevent any dividend being
declared on dock shares for nine years to
come. Shares are already unstable
Ship owners are wiring their agents to
send homeward bound vessels to other
ports. The Morning Post compares the
Southampton strike with the great strikes
at Pittsburg and Chicago, which resulted
| in loss of life and destruction of prop
erty. The writer attributes the violence
of American strikes to the severity of
measures adopted to repress them.
American authorities are much reader
to adopt summary and harsh treatment
than the English are. There is really o
better feeling between the classes here
than in America, and it results in cool
and humane conduct on the part of those
in power.
COMPLETE QUIET PREVAILS.
At q conference of strikers this after
noon it was decided to return to work on
the concessions offered q fortnight ago.
In an interview after the conference,
one of the dockmen's leaders named
McCarty, said that the fact that the
strike had been begun without authority
of the London executive, and prevented
hopeDf success. The strikers had been
warned against precipitate action.
The decision of the conference is
tiercely opposed by strong minority of
the strikers, and final decision has been
postponed until Tomorrow The con-
cessiou means raise of a penny an hour.
The question of employing non-uniou
men is left open.
THE DOCK COMPANY
has managed to have all perisheple car
goes unloRded. This and other work
that was urgently necessary has
been done by men whom the company
retained in the docks. "BIaeklegs',
were not employed.
Troops are still in attendance at the
docks, but their services are not needed.
At mass-meeting OF strikers tonight
MIR. Mccarthy and other speakers en-
phasized the fact that the men were not
able to resume work without being sub
jected to any punishment, and that their
loss of dignity or eprestiee
on the part of the union
1t would be an act of folly for the speak
ers to hold for the men TO continue to
throw themselves against the cold steel.
1t was better to lose a small battle now
than greater one hereafter.
1t is expected that the influence of Mr..
Burns will smooth away the agitation
that still exhibits itself and secure re-
turn of all men.

KICKING FOR SYMPATHY
The Southampton Strikers Receiving
Little Support from LabOrers.
Burns and Other Leaders Say They Acted Tn,
wiseIy-Three Hundred Steel and Iron
Men Coming-ForeIgn Notes.
Dissatisfaction All Around.

Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, Sept. ll.-Shippiug masters
of Southampton declare there are 700
non-union men at work in the docks. The
men are lodged and fed on the premises,
and cannot come intoa collision with the
strikers. The masters say that they ex-
pect to gradually increase the force until
they secure full complement of men
and become independent of the dock
labor organizations. At all events,
pute seem very slim. The strikers are
complaining that they do not receive
enough sympathy and encouragement
from their fellow brothers elsewhere.
John Burns has not lent aid or counten-
ance TO the movemsnt to the extent of
entering actively into it, and the other
labor leaders also seem to hold aloof 1t
is said that these leaders are irritated
over the action of the Southampton
men in rushing INTO strike without due
elaboration and over q trifling griev-
Rnce. They fear that tho affair will
cause loss of public sympathy for labor
generally and lessen the chances of sue
cess for others who may strike with good
reason. Many vessels whose destination
was Southampton have arrived at Ply
mouth and other ports for unloading.
PREPARING TO VISIT AMERICA.
The members of the iron and steel in
stitute of Great Britain, who are prepar-
ing TO visit America, number 500, and
will be accompanied by a large number
of friends. The first contingent will start
on Thursday, September u, from South
Rmpton, in the Normannla, and later the
Servia will take a considerable number.
1t is understood that the American re-
ception committee will provide sleeping
and luncheon cars to take their visitors
over 5000 miles of the United States. The
week beginning September 30
will be devoted to the reading
OF papers and discussions by members of
the American institute of mining en-
gineers and the English iron and steel
institute. Excursions will be made to
the iron ore and copper regions of Lake
Superior and to the iron districts of Ala
bama.
DON'T LIKE THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
The English newspapers comment upon
the passage of the tariff law by the
American senate in terms severely de-
hhAN4aAOIS VI bhaL measure. MOST OF
the writers express the belief that the
new tariff will prove so disastrous 10 the
country that it will lead to a reaction
toward free trade.
