Will Be Given by Senate Judiciary
Committee.
On Legislation Relating to the City
OF Providence Especially Street
Sprinkling.

At the Newport session of the Legisla-
ture the Senate committee on judiciary
was authorized TO give public hearings in

decided to give public hearing in the
State House on Friday, Sth inst, to all
parties interested in the bills relating es-
pecially to the city of Providence. These
include the watering of the streets by
the public works department with the
assessment OF cost upon the abutting prop
erty owners in the ratio of benefits con-
ferred. Also, the anti-parochial exemp-
tion act which passed the House, and the
act prohibiting policy gambling. 1t is the
purpose of the committee to devote the
entire day to the hearings, SO as
to be in readiness to report their

tuition the election of United States Sem
ator requires session of two days, the
houses meeting separately on the first day
to make the nomination and at Il O'Clock
on the second day in joint assembly
when the journals of the previous DAYS
proceedings are read and tine person re-
ceiving q majority of the votes of each
house is declared elected. Hence ample
time is afforded for the consideration of
such business as may be introduced by
general consent, and in effect il promises
to be continuance OF the May session.

Big Coal Strike Likely to Be
Brought to An Early Close.
By The Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, June LA. g. Blair of
Toledo, president OF the Wheeling &
Lake Erie Coal Company, informed an
Associated Press representative last
night, that he had received telegram
from President John Mcbride of
the Mine Workers, addressed to the
committee Of Ohio operators which he
believes opens the way to the settlement
of the big strike. Although he declined
TO show the telegram on the
ground that 1t was addressed to the
COMMITTEES. he said 1t declared the will
ingness of the miners to negotiate will
the operators of Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Indiana. Mr. Blair said that both he
and Mcbride were of the opinion that
this would force illinois into line and
that with this backing the Consolidated
Coal Company OF 81. Louis would not be
able to block settlement.

POLICE BRIBED.
Corrupted by Keepers Of Gambling
Dens and BrotheIs.
Charges Clergyman Brings Against
Boston Police Force.

BOSTON, June lin an interview with
an Associated Press reporter this morn
Ing regarding the charges of police
corruption and collusion with the keepers
OF houses OF i'll = fame made by
Rev. DIR. i. j. Lansing at last evenings
meeting of the Soc ETY. Tor Moral Reform,
Police Commissioner Whiting, speaking
Tor the whole board, said: "The first in
timation that our captains and officers
are guilty of wholesale bribe- taking from
the keepers OF the brothels came to US
this morning when we read the charges
Now. We heartily invite him or any
citizen TO come before us with any evil
dence they may have to show corruption
In our department and we promise imme-
diate attention and prompt action. This
clergyman says he has specific evidence of
such corruption and has had IL for some
time. The only comment to be made,
then is that he, Christian minister and
moral preceptor OF the people, has been
sadly reamiss in his duty in not
presenting his charges and testimony to
US, SO that we might have punished the
alleged offenders and thus put stop to
the practices he claims exist. Had he
done this he would have received our
thanks.
"We do not deny that there Is licentious-
ness In this city. There is in every city.
but we do deny that our department is
corrupt and we believe the history of our
administration will bear us out
"There Is nothing more to be said. We
do not know what the reverend gentle
man or the Society for Moral Reform
Among the Fallen Women, have done
to collect evidence or what facts they
may have in their possession. Let them
come to US instead of creating sensations
and they will be extended every courtesy
and given every privilege"
Lansing Interviewed.
Rev. DIR. Lansing was interviewed this
forenoon in regard to the charges he made
against the police at last evenings
meeting OF the New England
Moral Reform Society and would say little
about the matter. He did say, however,
that for some time past he and another
gentleman who believes that the police
are corrupt in their dealings with
the social vice in the city have had agents
going around in the houses of ill-fame i'm
the city, and they have secuted evidence
TO bear out his statements of last night.
Just how much evidence they have secured
and what its nature is he would not say.
The clergyman says that the charges
will be ventilated in the fall before the
proper tribunals, and until that time
nothing will be done about it.

drapery business when such low prices were
quoted in the month of May. Goods can be
bought actually cheaper than in the height OF
the midsummer dullness of last year. IL is
the greatest opportunity that has ever been

FLOOD RISING.
Ocean Steamers Meet Float
ing Barns Near Vancouver.
Over 1000 Families Homeless and
Millions Of Property Destroyed.


VANcoUvER, B. c., June 1.-The Frazer
River rose 10 inches at New Westminster
yesterday and last night. The water was
three inches above the highest historical
mark. The food is still rising.
From points further up the river comes
reports that the river Is nearly two feet
higher than has ever been known. Frazer
Valley for a hundred miles has been inun-
dated.
So great has been the destruction that
ocean steamers passing In through the
straits of San Juan de Fucca are now en-
countering floating roofs OF houses and
barns and innumerable carcasses of hogs,
sheep and cattle that have passed out of
the river with other debris from the
valley.
Thousands Homeless.
II is estimated that over 1000 families
are homeless and that a property loss OF
fully IS, 600, 900 has been suffered.
steamers from the rivers and Puget
sound are still being pressed
into the work of rescue.
Though no more lives have been
lost during the last two days there have
been many narrow escapes and thrilling
experiences. Many families have been
driven from their housas. One steamer
brought 301 settlers from Westminster
late last night. .
Among them was the family of ran
cher from near Langley. The man had
built a strong raft upon which he took
his entire family and 10 blooded horses.
They were rescued in midstream after
having been afioat for 10 hours.
AT many points there Is great destitu-
tion among the unlucky settlers who have
fled from their homes.
At the Salmon river settlement where
the water is ten feet deep on the
Hat many families are huddled
together on the high lands and living on
one scanty ,ness) a day. The rscuing
steamers have neglected them to care for
others who are In greater danger.
Sailed Over Farms.
At Hattie the steamer Transfer sailed
up over farms and houses, over Hattie
bridge and dyke and tied up to the rails
of the Canadian Pacific Rrailroad track,
seven miles from where the river formerly
ran. The Transfer secured the wife
OF rancher McDermott from che roof OF
her floating house. Her husband who
had failed in his efforts to rescue her, was
found later in small skiff. Both were
nearly crazy.
A big school house from Nicomen
island fioated by New Westminster last
night intact.
Both Vancouver and New Westminster
are cut of from the outside world. Even
the telegraph is not to be depended upon
as the wires have been constantly in
trouble. Every effort is being made to re-
lieve the food sufferers, but facilities and
means are utterly inadequate to meet the
demand.
The Canadian Pacific road has 1000 men
at work repairing its tracks. The
flood Is breaking it, however, faster
than they can possibly mend it.
The result OF the food, it Is seen, will be
to utterly stop all farming operations
along the Frazer River for this season and
this will cause great destitution.

Snap Shot at a Weak i,ridra.

In England few weeks ago a GER
tain iron bridge of one OF the railways
was suspected of being unsafe. It
looked all right, but there were
some reasons why the managers were
afraid of it. They could not decide
themselves, and they sent up to Lon
don for a famous engineer to come and
look it over. He came, and was NM.
zled, too, until he thought of a wav to
test. He took kodak and made q
picture of the bridge with no train
upon it. Then he kept his camera in
position and waited for fast train to
come. Pretty soon an express came
laundering on, and just as the big To-
connective struck the bridge he pulled
open the slide and took a second MIC
ture on the same plate that still held
the first. When the plate was exam
med the picture with the train was
found so much below the other as to
show what the engineer and MANAGERS
had feared-a dangerous droop to the
bridge.
