Discussion Of Home Missions Occupies
Their Attention-The Briggs Case.
PORTLAND, Or, May 24.-The Pres
byterian assembly occupied the fore
noon session with the discussion of the
subject of home missions.
just before the hour of adjournment
it was noticed that the judicial commit
tee would report on the Briggs case, and
soen the church was crowded to the
doors by those wanting to hear the ex-
pected debate on the question
which is exciting Presbyterians
all over the land. DIR. Briggs
hurried in and was a listener to
the proceedings. The prosecuting COM
mittee's appeal from the dismissal of
DIR, Briggs was then reported by the ju-
dcial committee who held that the ap-
peal was well taken and that the COM
mittee should be upheld. There was a
minority report that asked that the ap-
peal be not considered and asked the
conference to remand the case. An eff
fort was made to have the case discussed
at once but the friends of DR.. Briggs
succeeded m having it go over. An
animated discussion may be looked for
when the reports ceee UP:

THE SIOUX CITY DISASTER.
A Terrible Tale of Destruction and Dam
age Told by Reoa6iDp Waters.

A Terrible Tale of Destruction and Dam
age Told by Reoeding Waters.
SIOUX CITY, Ia., May 20.-The scene
which is disclosed by the recession of the
flood is one which beggars description.
Throughout the flooded district it is one
story Of destruction and damage. The
number drowned cannot be very accu-
rately estimated. 1t is now placed at
about fifty, and those who have been
working in the district say TIT a-y
variation will increase this lumber.
Not over a dozen have been recovered,
and it will be days before the correct
number can be known. The list of miss
ing is still large and about 100 people are
not accounted for.
The flood at its height extended from
Court street to the Floyd bluffs and from
the suburb Of Linn to the Missouri river.
This comprises a district four miles long
and a mile and a half vide. For a dis
lance of mile and a half above the
mouth of the Floyd the bottom is dense
ly populated. A large portion of the in
habitants are poor people who are en-
ployes of the packing houses, railroads,
etc. There are great many retail shops
throughout this region. At the height
Of the flood the current struck straight
through the residence streets. Among
those nearest to the river, scores of
dwellings
Were Swept from Foundations
and carried long distances and either
smashed or turned bottom side up. Many
two-story buildings were swept away.
The buildings which are twisted or car
ried short distances are innumerable. 1t
must be remembered that over all this
area for six or eight blocks from the
river the water was far above the second
story with a swift current
and the wind, blowing hur-
ricane. Everywhere fences, outhouses,
sidewalks, wooden pavement, railroad
ties and timbers and lumber yard debris
are scattered about amor the contorted
and overturned dwelling.
The city is the heavie Eo=cr. Sewers,
paving, water pipes an c,Lbinc must
be put in new il large r41, IF tie city.
The council has decide'r to bin the
work on an extensive scule ..t cIce and
employment will be giv,n every labor
ing man in the city.

FLOOD FATALITIES.
Low PORTIONS OF SIOUX CITY, a.,
INUNDATED.

Eight Thousand People Driven from Their
Homes by the Raging waters-A Score
or More of Lives Lost in the City and
Immediate Vicinity - Nine Persons
Drowned at Lincoln, Neb., and Many
Houses Washed Away.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, May ia great
flood disaster has overtaken Sioux City.
During the morning a great wave came
down the Floyd river which flows
through the center of the city, and
which was already swollen bank full.
The wave came a few minutes after
o'clock. Warning had been sent short
time before to the inhabitants of the
lowlands but only few of them had
been notified. The first intimation was
a volume of water Spreading over the
banks to a depth of three feet and throw
ing mist of foam before it. In few
minutes the water had risen above first
floors and several Thousand people fed
in terror to the higher ground. The
water rose four feet in an hour and a
half and from o'clock continued to rise
steadily, but not SO rapidly. Probably
one-quarter of the inhabitants live on
the low ground which is overlooked. So
rapid was the rise of the tide that great
numbers were unable to escape and the
work of rescue engaged every energy Of
the people. At 10 o'clock eleven persons
Were Reported Drowned
and there must be many others.
1t is estimated that 5000 people have
been driven from their homes. All bust
ness is suspended. At noon the ladies
had several soup and lunch houses
opened for the flood sufferers.

BLAINE AND MERRIAM.

Friends of Minnesota's Governor Hold a
Meeting at St. Paul.
sT. PAUL, May Ex-Governor Mer-
RAMS friends think there is chance of
Minnssota's executive being nominated
for Woo president by the Republican
national convention. A meeting was
held IN st. Paul during the evening, at
which Il was resolved to begin active
work for the governor. and to push him
forward as candidate, whose nominal
ton shall depend upon whether Blaine
OF any other Eastern man is nominated
for president. If President Harrison is
nominated, Governor Merriam's name
win not be presented, for his friends
figure that in that event man from the
East should be named for vice president.

Big Loss OF Life by the Floods Reported
from Arkansas.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, May 21.-The
Arkansas river has passed the great rise
of 1914 by more than foot. 1t is at
this hour, 6 a. m, stationary and will
begin falling in few hours. No dam
age has been done the city proper but at
North Little Rock great uneasiness has
been felt and considerable damage done.
The first heavy loss, that Of the
caving in of the north banks few
hundred yards east of the wagon bridge,
has been followed by the collapsing Of
the Elite Lumber company's mill, valued
at $4,000, and of the Cooperage COM
pany's building.
At Redfeld, twenty miles from here,
huge blocks Of bank have been falling
into the river. Standing close to the
shore on a section of the bank which
thus suddenly melted away, five persons,
names unknown, We're precipitated in
the torrent and drowned, the bodies not
being recovered. A report from Red
field at midnight states that in all
twenty-five to thirty persons have been
drowned there in the last twelve hours.

TRAINS WRECKED.

Seven People Killed and a Dozen Injured
on the Cotton Belt,
ST. LOUIS, May e1.-Meager particu-
lars Of . collision between a passenger
train and freight train, near Crooked
Bayou, Ark, on the Cotton Belt road,
have reached this city, The collision
occurred at Z O'Clock p. m. and was the
result of the crew of the passenger train
disobeying orders. All the cars of the
passenger train were thrown from the
track and upset, On account of the
storm interfering with the telegraph
wires but little information can
be secured in regard to the
wreck. The latest news is to the
effect that seven were killed and
over dozen seriously injured.

Indications Point to q Walkover for Cleve-
land at the Chicago Convention.
WASHINGTON, May 2O.-Recent con-
ventions seem to bave turned the tide
pretty effectually in favor of Cleveland,
and it now looks as though the ex-presi-
dent would have the convention at Chi
eago all his own way. There is no de-
nying that where there is opposition to
Cleveland it is very intense; but then it
comes from such Democratic states in
the South as will vote for the Democrat
ic nominee whether it be Cleveland or
any other man. The Cleveland
men still insist that some other man
must be nominated, and Burke Cochran,
Hills right-hand man, insists that the
nomination of Cleveland so far as New
York is concerned would be very dan
gerous experiment. Mr.. Springer thinks
it Is becoming clearer every day that
neither Cleveland nor Hill could be
nominated.

The Blaine Nominating Speech Will BE
Made by Ohio's Ex-Governor.
CINCINNATI, May 24.-Ex-Governor
Foraker is busy man. A rumor had
gone abroad that he was to make a
speech in the Minneapolis convention
nominating James G. Blaine for the
presidency, and his door bell was kept
ringing every five minutes by reporters
who called for information on the sub
ject. He said:
81 do not know anything about any
such report and have never said would
nominate Mr.. Blaine" Then, thinking a
moment, as if not content to leave the
matter in such an unsatisfactory state,
he added: II have said, however, that
in my judgment Mr.. Blaine should be
nominated and it is my opinion that he
win be nominated" Notwithstanding
hts halfway denial everybody finds it
easy to believe the rumor.

which ex-senator Platt, Whitelaw Reid,
General Horace Porter and other Re-
publicans high in the councils of the
party, had with Mr.. Blaine, the closest
friends Of Mr.. Platt said they had it
from his own lips that Mr.. Blaine had
decided not to interfere with the pre-
ssntation of his name before the conven-
ton at Minneapolis; that it was Mr..
Blaine's intention not to return to Wash
ington until after the convention, and
that by the close of this Week ne woulL
