West and Northwest the Fisods Swept
Away Much Property.
CHICAGO, June 2-The foods in the
west and northwest have been very de-
stractive to property, though happily
but few lives have been lost. From
Van Couver, B. c., comes the news that
the Frazer Valley for 100 miles is under
water anr that the loss of property reaches
$500 coo, while 2,OCG families have lost
their homes. The full extent of the loss
will non lie known for several days, us the
rivers are still rising. The result, how
ever, Will be To stop all farming operations
IN the Frazer Valley for this year.
Ihe destruction of Conconnul!y, Wash,
was complete. The village was simply
wiped out of existence. There were sev-
eral narrow escapes, but no lives were
lost The property loss amounts TO $780,
QUO. Denver Is fiood-swept. and all the
low ground inundated many families hav-
ing to run for their lives. Boulder, Colo
is partly submerged, and in the mining
camps nearly 2G0 people are homeless.
Fifty bridges between there and the noun
tains have been carried off. At Idaho
Springs. the damage is @sioO,GJo, and all
the bridges ill the vicinity are .s,one and
all the mines flooded.
The mining towns in fact are practically
wiped out. The total loss in and around
Boulder is put at $4,000. At Paliue
Lake, Colo, the collapse of the reservoir
at the mouth of the Big Canon is looked
for. 1t Is already undermined, and 9G0
feet below there is another reservoir which
will 90 if the Big Canon dam gives way.
At Denver one death is reported-Edward
Whitman, a.boy. At Manitou business is
practically suspended. except the business
OF saving property which requires all the
energies of the place.
The railways. of course. have suffered
sevefely, and traffic is delayed everywhere,
and many places are cut oil entirely as to
communication by rail. Farmers, too,
have necessarily lost heavily.

Reverend Gentleman Invited to Prove
His Charges by the Police Commissioner
Alice Same in New York.
BOSTON. June 2-The Rev. DR.. j. l. Lam
sing. of the Park Street church, this city.
has entered upon a crusade against police
corruption. He is backed by the New
England Moral Reform club. DR.. Lam
sing alleges that the police of the city are
in collusion with the proprietors of disrep-
utable places, and when the places are to
be raided the inmates hre warned in time.
He declares:
1--WE have proof that the police have
taken money. We know when it was
paid, what it was paid for, who paid it,
and who received it. We have names,
data, times and affidavits, with all the de-
tails to secure conviction in open court.
We know who the go-betweens are and
the police who have hobnobbed with
those arrested for keeping these houses
and who have aided the keepers to get
clear"
1t is understood that Dr. Lansing will
at once prefer forma. charges before the
police commissioners.
What the Police Commissioner Saws.
Police Commissioner Whiting said to an
Associated Press reporter: ''The first in
tination that our captains and officers
have been guilty OF bribe-iaking from the
keepers Of disreputabIe houses came to
us N the charges made in public nd-
dress by Mr. Lansing. We heartily invite
him or any citizen to come before us with
any evidence they may have of corruption
in our department, and we promise i'm.
mediate attention and prompt action.
This clergymen says he has specific evil
dence of such corruption and has had it
for some time. The only comment to be
made then is that he has been sadly re.
miss in his duty i'll not presenting his tes-
timony 10 us. Let the mem bers OF the So
ciety for Moral Reform, come TO us. in
stead of creating sensations, and they will
be extended every courtesy and given

the method of inspecting government

The workmen were paid by their output
and they helped each other to cover up
defects so as to make their output as
large as possible. Professor Alger said
the present average of armOr was up to

IN the senate amendments to the Wilson
bill; that the country wants quick action,
anu that any attempt to secure better
terms from the senate than those pre-
sented in the body of the bill as it will

freely expressed his sentiments on the
subject The president listened but made
no comment. II the administration is
