In closing Breckinridge said Cleve-
land had the heart of Andrew Jackson
and the head of Thomas Jefferson. One
OF the things which made him look for
ward with triumph to next Tuesday was
that it would leave no sorrow in it's
train.
Mr.. CLEVELAND A PRISONER.
Mr.. Cleyeland remained on the plat
form until the close of the meeting. He
had great difficulty in getting away, as
the building was crowded to its utmost
capacity, and everyone on the platform
wanted to shake his hand. A large
number of those in the hall also jumped
to the platform to greet the ex presi-
dent. Chairs were upset and people
almost trampled on. Cleveland was
virtually held a prisoner by his enthusi-
astic admirers, but at last, by the aid of
half dozen policemen, be escaped to
his cab.
Mr.. Cleveland will make one speech
in New Jersey, and probably one in
Delaware, before the election.

MARsEILLEs, May 31.-Mails which have
just arrived from Mauritius confirm the
statement that 1900 persons we're killed and
1000 injured in the recent hurricane. The
wind was preceded by violent magnetic
disturbance. The sea rose nine feet, the
highest level since the cyclone of 1918.
Scarcely a house in the colony escaped
damage. Many churches and public build
ingS were destroyed. The church of the
Immaculate Conception is in ruins. The
cathedral by a strange chance escaped. The
dead include large number OF the leading
inhabitants. Fearful sights were witnessed
in the streets. A factory on the Martin
estate collapsed, killing 200 Indians. Half
Of the sugar crop is destroyed and the plant
erS' losses are incalculable.
About noon the storm broke with a
furious kissing sound, and for 80 minutes a
pitless tornado ragged, accompanied by a
deluge of rain. Buildings collapsed, roofs
were blown off and trees blown down. The
barometer suddenly began to rise, the wind
lulled. and many people went out, believing
that all danger was passed. At 8 o'clock
the wind burst again in tenfold violence
frcm the directly opposite quarter. The
fury was maintained for two hours. At 6
O'clock the weather again became calm, and
fires then broke out in the eastern suburbs
and destroyed what the wind had spared.
The country districts suffered heavily, but
as nothing compared with Port Louis. Here
the residents who survived the disaster
we're almost too daZed and unnerved TO be
of much assistance in the work Of restoring
something like order out Of the state of
chaos which existed.

TWO DEAD CHINESE on THE FIELD.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

SACRAMENTO, May 31.-About II o'clock
| Chinese quarter, not 30 yards from street.
There have been several outbreaks of late,
but they have resulted only in the occasional
woundng of some Chinaman.
Tonight, however, grim war came in
earnest, and for half minute there was a
perfect fusilade on Third street in front of
one highbinders' den, and another on j
street in front of the headquarters of an
other society. Shots were exchanged
across the street in rapid succession, like
the rattle of musketry during a battle
which, in fact, 1t was, though on a small
scale. For while perfect sheets of flame
shot from each side of the street and the air
was full of flying bullets.
An electric car with number of people
on board happened to be on the track right
between the contending hosts, and a per-
feet storm of bullets whistled through the
open car and about the heads of the passen-
gers, who climbed out Of the way as best
they could The conductors and gripmen
put on their brakes and like wise abandoned
their posts in hot haste.
When the smoke of the battle cleared
away two dead Cinnamon were found and
one who had been shot through the thigh.
HOW HlduY OtHeTS were WOuhueu anu got
away Is not known and 1t may be that more
were killed and their bodies hidden by
comrades. One gang did Its shooting from
balcony and the other from the sidewalk.
One man, peaceable cigarmaker who
has wife and two little girls, was shot
while in his own place Of business and died
while in the arms of bis Wife,
1t was a pitiful sight to see the little girls
wringing their hands over their fathers
dead body. while the wife's lamentations
were not less touching than would be those
of any White woman under similar tragic
circumstances.
The police have arrested seven China
men, all of whom were armed with big
pistols, and several of these weapons had
recently been discharged.
1t is a wonder that number of white
people were not killed as, besides those who
were passengers on the electric car caught
between the contending forces, there were
a number of citizens passing along the
street when the firing began. There is
great indignation among the white citizens
tonight at the peTpetration of au outrage
of this sort in the heart of the city,

THE RIVER is FALLING.
But the Decline Is Much Slower Than Was
Anticipated.

SACRAMENTO, May 31.-The river is sur
prising everybody by not falling more
rapidly. At noon the water at this point
showed decline Of only three Inches in "a
hours, the figures being 90 feet inches.
The water is running more swiftly than
before the break in the Yolo levee, but even
now is not moving rapidly enough to do
much in the way of securing the river bed
The amount of water flowing through the
break should ordinarily lower the river
rapidly, but the enormous overflow off the
upper reaches of the stream keeps up the
supply.
The water that had encroached on some
of the lower railway tracks on the river
front is disappearing, and In all likelihood
the stream will get down within its banks
by o-morrow morning.
A telephone message has been received
from Oak Hall stating that everything is all
right down there.
A gang of men are at work on the River
side road fronting Kelly's place, cleaning
up the seeDage water. and by tomorrow the
road will be in good shape for travel again.
Reports from FreeDort and CORTLAND
state that the levee is all right at those places.

Sherman Discusses the Free Silver
Bill.
WASHINGTON. May 3l.-In the Senate the
calendar was laid aside at o'clock and the
bill to provide for the free coinage of silver
was taken up. There was then about
dozen Senators on each side of the chamber.
Sherman had been in his scat for the pre-
ceding half hour. waiting for the bill to be
taken up. Teller and Stewart were also
present aud in frequent consultation. Sher-
mansprefaced his speech on silver by saying
he did not regard 1t as a partisan measure
or political measure on which the parties
were likely to divide. 1t was largely local
measure. No questionis TO be compared
with 1t in the Importance of its effects on
the business interests Of the country. He
went on to defend the financial action of
the Republican party and his own part in
il. In passing allusi0n TO the national bank
ing system, Sherman said those banks
would soon pass away. not because they were
not the best banks in the world, but because
the United States bonds on which they rested
would be paid of. He insisted that the
system fully justified itself. He said the
discrimination Of the coinage of the silver
dollar In 1873 and the substitution of the
trade dollar was made upon the representa-
tions OF California and other silver States
which wanted to transport silver to China.
The only trouble about the law was that
the Senators could not see ahead If it had
been known that silver was going 10 fall as
rapidly as IL did lie would have kept the
silver dollar and put IL on the same footing
as fractional silver. The suspension of
silver coinage by the Latin union and the
increase in the production had given great
blow 10 silver. 1t was not true that he was
unlriendly TO silver. Sherman then went

INDIANAPOLIS, May 31.-This city and
Central Indiana have had few such rains
as fell last night and early this morning.
In effect it was cloudburst. The streets
were filed with water which flowed over
the curbs into the yards. Rogue's Run,
which runs through the city, became a
raging torrent and many people had to fee
for their lives. The electric cars plOwed
their way through the streets like steam
boats. White River and Fall Creek are on
the rampage. Several northern suburbs are
reported under water.
Information received from outside the
city tonight indicate the loss OF at least
three lives, Carl Weaver, john Henderson
and the latter's little boy being drowned in
Fall Greek.
The rain continues tonight and the rivers
are rising. Many houses in the lower part
of the city are flooded. and great damage is
done. The lOwlands in the Wabash Valley
are covered, and the corn and wheat crops
destroyed. At Wabash the manufacturing
