FRAZER RIVER ROARING.
Most Disastrous Flood in Twelve
Years.

I VANCOUVER. B. c., May 31.-The
Fraser river is still rising. and the in
dications are that the flooG will be even
nlore disastrous than the great food OF
1882. The river has already risen with
in eight inches OF the hign water mark
of that great inundation. Though
tAe whole valley is under. water,
the Fraser having spread out into vast
lake, the tide is crawling up at
the rate of an inch every three hours.
At Westminster the river wharves are
submerged. Many cabins along the
water front have been fioated OFF on the
tide, and many poor families have lost
their belongings. Points further up
the river report that the danger IN
creases. At Nicomen island forty-four
fine farms are entirely under water.
Though much live stock has periShed,
but eight human lives are kn0wu to
have been lost. No further fatalities
were reported yesterday.
1t is week yesterday since the Can
adian Pacific has had train through to
the coast. Annacis island. two miles
above New Westminster. is totally sub
merged. Many fine farms formerly
dotted the Islands. Ranchers were res
cued by steamboats,, but all their stock
has gone down the river. All the river
steamers have been commissioned by
the government to service Ill securing
the lmperiled persons. In the vicinity
of RUBY the greatest danger is apparent,
and several steamers have been dis
patched 10 the district. The marks OF
1852 food have already been passed al
many points.

NEW YORK, May 3i.-Elkin Farmer,

of $4,000, gives the following account
of the manner in which lie was SWIM
died:
II was led to invest some %. 500 in
mine. thought it was good thing.
1t was quoted at 80. and got 1t at a
good deal lower figure through Wall
street broker.
1.-The broker told me to wire a firm of
brokers In Butte City, Mont, for quota
tions. and | did so. The mines are sit
uated close TO Butte City, and are
worked, to my certain knowledge, BY a
duly Incorporated company. He re-
piled that so had been offered for the
stock out there. and l at once decided
to take the chance and get the lower
price here"
About $500 was accordingly invest
ed, and Mr. Farmer still has the ceriifi-
ca es i'll his possession.
This happened ill March. and little
later Mr.. Farmer thought it would hot
be bad plan to get some more. Tie
Butte City firm wrote him that he could
yet some more from a man in Column
bus, o.
"He is customer of ours and has
some good lots" wrote the firm.
Il went to the nun IN Columbus"
said Mr.. Farmer, land found him at

mir Farmer said he paid the Colum-
bus man $1,000 in cash for more lots.
Shortly afterwards Mr.. Farmer returned
TO New York and offered his stock at
so. The Butte City firm Of brokers.
however, wrote back that there was no
demand for the stock. This, together
with the fact that the Wall street broker
had left his office and disappeared,
aroused Mr.. Farmers suspicious. He
thinks the police in Chicago and Column

broker. who is the chief man in the
matter. Mr.. Farmer smiled, and seemed
TO think his loss mild joke.

KELLY'S STORMY TIME.
Col. Speed at the Head OF the
seeding Section.


ST. LOUIS, NO., May 31.-The schism
in kelly's army was emphasized late
this afternoon by the appearance of
Col. George E. Speed. head of the seced-
ing part of the command. with J. u.
Jones, the agent of the Chicago publish
ers, and several of the officers OF the re-
bellious staff before Judge Lub.1e, of
the circuit court. They charged Kelly
with Illegal retention of the entire com
missary stores and equipments of the
feet; that they wanted authority to
compel divivision OF the property, and
to compel Kelly to give an account of
his receipts and disbursements of
money contributors. Judge Lub-
Ike told Col. Speed that he
had perfect right TO surround the
commissary boats aud prevent their re-
moval anG then to apply for receiver.
A division Of the property and funds
will be sought through the courts to-
morrow. The existing troubles do not
seem to have much effect upon the re-
cruiting, some 800 having joined the army
since its arrival here. Kelly has Or
dered his men to be ready to leave at 5
tomorrow " morning. Commodore Kelly
and his navy didnot meet with the same
cordial reception today that had been
accorded him from day to day dur
ing his stay in St. Louis. Tonight
the Marines were compelled to retire
without their usual rations. Whether
this fact was due to the secession of
Col. Speed from the feet is not known,
but it is a fact that no provisions were
on hand, aud those Whc did not have
supplies concealed retired with an
empty stomach.

ON BHECAIxHzDsE,s RIVAL,
Candidate Owens Enters Editor
Moorc'S Sanc:um and Init.
mates to Him That if q Certain
Scurriious Letter Is Printed
He Must Take theConsequences
Moore Saves His Scalp.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 31.-A special
to the Post from Lexington, KY, says:
4 most sensational and exciting scene
took place today in the editorial room of
Charles c. Moore, editor of the Blue
Grass Blade.
There were present W. G. Owens,
candidate for congfess against Breckin-
ridge; c. G. Moore. Gen. ". II. Gentry
and }. Walter Leake. friend of Mr..
Owens and a correspondent of the Post.
Owens said: Il have come to see
you about that lying, scurrIlous letter
which, understand, you have received
from Jets station, poStmarked George
town, in which my character is attacked
in most shameful manner. You say
you believe the letter to be forgery.
and yet you will print it this afternoon
in the Blade.
Il have this to say: We have been
both men of peace, and have tried to
do right. but if you publish that letter
we will be so no longer, and you must
stand the consequences.
''if published it will reflect seriously
on ladies of Frankfort, and will besides
be sent to my father and sisters. That
l cannot and will not stand. What l
have TO say to YOU is that l ask no favor
OF you, do not wish you TO defend me
and will not have that letser published
and scattered broadcast. when l have
already denounced everything in it, and
any one who circulates it is liar and
scoundrel."
Moore began tc explain that he was
doing this to defend Owens, but Owens
shut him Off. saying that he did hot
want to be defended Dy Moore.
Then Moore asked to be allowed to
read the letter, which he did. The letter
was dated Jetts. Ky. May %. Moore
had headed it: "How Blll Owens Is
Everlastingly Ruined." The letter makes
grave charges against Owens OF inn
morality and gambling, and is signed
l.. Crutcher. The pOStnark Of the letter
is Georgetown. and the postmaster of
that place has just come i'll to say that
the poStmark stamp Was forgery.
Moore then backed down and said if
Owens wished it lie would not publish
the letter.
To this Owens replied that he would
say nothing. but the letter had better
not be published. Moore then agreed
not to print it.
The original copy of the letter will be
placed III the hands of a detective and
the author ferreted out.

A VAST LAKE,
Business In the Wholesale Dist rict
of Portland Suspended,

PORTLAND. May Sl.-No trains have
arrived from the East over the Union
Pacific since last Saturday. Tie c0m-
pany has put Oh boats at Umatilla. but
is experiencing great difficulty N max
ing portage at the Dalies. Tie tele-
graphic communication along the
Columbia is cut off to Umatilla
and the only means of reaching Eastern
Oregon and Washington is by a circuit
Gus route. Miles of the Union Pacific
track along the Columbia river are
washed out, and it will probably be
more than week before another train
reaches this city over that route.
The Northern Pacific manages to
keep passengers and mails moving hy
pressing into use large transfer boats
has experienced only slight delays.
The northern part of the city as far
back as Ninth street is vast lake, and
business III the wholesale district
is entirely suspended. The absence
OF any current in the WILL
annette river makes navigation
by boat very easy, and hundreds of
small boats are being used along Front,
First and Second streets. from Aluie
street to the North end. The river was
at a.standstill. A telephone message
from the assistant government engineer
at the Condaik locks. states that the
bulkhead is leaking, but he does rot
think that it will go out. and that
any serious damage can be obviated.
The damage to the Union Pacific tracks
between Portland and Umatilla will, it
IS thought, reach into the hundreds of
thousands. Grea: damage has been
done TO farmers living along the C0luni-
bia river i'll the loss of stock and prop
erty.
Merchants had ample time to get their
goods out Of the way. The latest intel
lIgence from the upper Columbia region
was that the river at Umatilla and Ri
paria was stationary. II was generally
believed that the water i'll this city has
about reached its extreme height. Its
subsidence will be very slow. owing to the
large area over which the water is
spread. The Western Union lost all
wires to the North, and Seattle and Ia
coma are virtually cut off as far as teie-
graphic communication is concerned.
Twenty miles Of poles along the Column
bIa are covered by water. and il will
probably be week before they can be
reDaireu.

DROPPED FROM WINDOWS.
How Fifteen Children Escaped
From Fiery Furnace.

NEW YORK. May 31.-A terrific eX-
plosjon. followed by fire. occurred at
30 o'clock this morniug in distilery
on the ground floor Of a double tene-
ment house,l29 Suffolk street, resulting
in the death of Lizzie Yaeger, aged
four years. and serious injuries TO four
others. Twenty familias tenanted
the building. Inc explosion and fire
cut them off from the stairway. Fifteen
children were thrown from upper win
dows. Some of the older persons eS-
capped by creeping out of the second
story to the second story of the adjoil-
ing building. One of the women in the
building got banket and used it as
net in which to catch the children
dropped from the windows above
There were fifteen dropped in all. The
children had to be dropped through a
sheet of flame, which was leaping
from between the windows and the
blanket below in the rear yard. After
the Children had all safely been dropped,
the oder ones Jumped. Lyman Enren-
wost and his son made the peri!ous
jump in safety, but Mrs. Ehrenwost,
VINO was quite heavy. broke the blanket
by her great weight, and she was Sc
verely injured. The firemeu arrived at
this time and set at work to save tie
rest of the occupants of the building.
Chief Ahren found little Lizzie Yeager
OH the third floor, unconscious. She
died few minutes after being removed
to the hospital. Meyer DIETRICH. aged
fortv-eight, was, badly burned while at
tempting to get out through the lower
hall. Several persons on the top floor
who were overcome by smoke had to be
carried out by tie tiremen. The dam
age to the building is estimated at Sl5,-
coo. Three persons were burned to
death in the same building two years

ARMOis PLATES.
Prof. Alser ID escribes the Method
OF inspecting Them.


WAsuINGroN. May 3l.-Prof. P. r.
Alger, Of the navy, WAS heard today by
the congressional committee invsstl-
eating armor plate frauds. Prof. Alger
described the method of inspecting gov
ernment armor plates. The Carnegie
company, he said. usually know the
particular part OF the plale from which
the specimens were to be taken. 1t
would be possible tor the company TO
perfect these particular parts. yet it
would be so risky as 10 be lmpracticabic.
Prof. Alger said that it was possible that
the company knew nothing OF the decep-
tons pracliced by the employees The
worNlnen were paid by their.uuiput and
= they helped each other TO cover up
defects so as 10 make their output as
large as possible. Prof. Alger said the
present average OF armor was up TO
standard. A plate with a blownole
eighteen inches long if hit by heavy.
shot probably would be pierced. Fhe:
force of government inspec tors was nos
sufficient to watch every plate through
out its manufacture. The man in charge.
of tie test machine was furnished with
written slip. bearing secret marks,
disclosing defects. He was thus ad-.
vised how the test could be SO Ilan:pu-
lated as to pass the plate. He. could
lift lever and thus show a. fraudulent
strength. The Carnegie company fur-
nisiled the machine, and it was stand
ard make.

SILVER AVID Thrift.
A"oD CAMPAIGN KEYNOTE
Will Great Britain Open Her
Mfnts for Our Silver if We
Give That Country Lower Tariff
Duties-AIl Nations Should Ad-
just the Money and Tariff
Questions by agreement.

LONDON, May 3l.-The Fortnightly
Review published today an interview
with ex-Speaker Reed on silver which
Will make sensation On both sides G.
the ocean. The great Republican
leader sounds keynote for future cam
palgns by declaring that silver and the
tariff must be regarded mot as two
issues. but as one" and that the depre-
citation of silver is vastly Increasing the
exporting business of silver nations and
REPRESENTING seven hundred millions of
people. In the interview, Mr.. Reed
says: You in England want the
United States to lower the duties. What
Will you give US in exchange? Will
you open your minis to silver Dysagree-
ment? One thing. at least. you may rely
upon-you will not find the Republican
party Offering the other cheek, as
these Democratic gentlemen do.
For years past they have
been posturng as the friends of silver,
and because you in England close the
Indian mints AND put duty On silver
bullion. these friends of free silver are
now preparing to reward your gener.
osity by lowering duties all around.
One thing, at least. have learned since
the cessation of silver purchases last
year-that cheap silver is an effective
stimulus to Asiatic exports, and, this
being the case. We have got to consider
silver and the taritf-not as two Issues,
but as one. 1t is evidently no time to

In silver. its value to pay wages and to
buy products in India and China are as
great as ever. This it is that makes
the silver question an issue
that we are forced to face.
You recognize, of course, that the DO
sition has entirely changed i'll the past
SIX months. The previous enormous
compulsory monthly purchase of silver,
most vicious proceeding, went far to
confuse mems minds, and to disguise
the fact there really is in that back
ground a serious currency problem TO
be solved. 1t is evidently important
for debtor nations, on which list we
stand first. 10 raise the price of silver,
and thereby reduce that bounty on ex-
ports which Asia now enjoys. This
can be done best by agreement with
other nations favorable to silver. and
by such scale of high tariffs against
those nations which reject monetary
agreement as will insure US a favorable
balance of trade. In short. a higher
price for silver by reducing Asiatlc ex.
ports to Europe will increase ours. Add
to this high tariff and we can keep
our gold at home, or, at least, if sold, il
will quickly come back again."

The main ground on which Judge

was that it did not show the falling of
