port that Mr.. Deering would be unable to be
present owing to bad cold, but would ac-
cept the nomination through the papers this
morning.
The gentlemen present were so enthusiastic
they wanted some political speaking, and as
Mr.. Deering could not be present Mr.. Joshua
Emery was called upon and said he should be
delighted to vote for Mr.. Deering. Mr.. A.
ID. Sweetsir made motion that the votes be
placed In one box aud sealed so that II there

seemed to think there was no noed OF such

A Property Loss in Dams Alone Of
Nearly million.

PHGNIX, Ariz., February PA courier

Hereports that tremendous mountain of
water came down the river about o'clock
Saturday morning. Thirty four men lost
their lives at the lower dam where they
were at work. Thirty-one were white and
three Chinese. The courier reports the
town OF Wi,kenberg all right. The loss of
life in the valley between Wickenberg and
the dam may not be known for some days
but without doubt is considerable. 1t may
possibly reach 80 or 40. The courier states
that the upper dam was undoubtedly broken
and carried the two dams below down with
it. The loss of property in dams alone will
amount to about SS0O,00O.

Mr.. Milliken changed from Washington to
Chicago and Mr.. Dingley who had been vot-
Ing for New York did not vote.
The New York people were discomforted
at their small gain and began to realize that
they could do do more. The reading of the
vote was demanded, not to rectify it, but to
secure time for consultation. Heads were
together all over the House. The result was
shown just as he roll cali began by Mr.Wil-
sons rising and moving recess until tomor-
row at IL. When the Speaker attempted to
put the question, several Chicago men were
on their feet with points of order, alleging
that the motion came too late as the roll call
had begun. The Speaker declared that he
recognized MIR. Wilson before the first name
was called and put the question. Without
waiting for the announcement Of viva voce

nays and these were ordered. There was
much excitement on the floor at this point,

man to another and pointing to the clock

returned to cast his fortune with New York.
