THE CHIEF beneiiciaries of the law
are the poor. The rich have the means
By which they are enabled to protect
themselves and property, or, if the lat
ter be destroyed, to obtain full and am
pie compensation. With the poor it is
Just the reverse. And yet the latter,
by their strikes and mobs, attempt to
break down and overawe the law,
W i;h is their main reliance for defense
against the rich. 1t really seems as if
some sort of labor and understanding
are incompatible. Ifitwere not so, the
men who are now guilty of mob vio-
lence would be the greatest sticklers for
the observance of the law.

Mr.. HUNTISGroN. who has been in
terviswed on the subject of the exist
ing railroad strike, says, there have
been 50 many like disturbances without
any penalty, that those engaged in
them have almost come TO believe they
have a right to commit unlawful acts of
violence so long as it is done By masses,
OF large aggregations OF people" That
3Ir. Huntington has good ground for
saying this is plain to all we'll informed
msa. And If the cause of the evil be
known. the failure to remove it can
DULY be attributed to lack of moral
courage. The disease has not yet
reached the condition that requires
physical courage for its cure, but that
il will do so if allowed to progress
much further, goes without saying.

DIRE DESTRUCTION.
NUMEROUS LIVES LOST AND A
HUGE PROPERTY LOSS.
Pueblo and Othor Colorado Cities and
Towns Submerged by a Terrific Cloud
burst-The Arkansas River a Roaring.
Raging Flood.

Dispatches from Pueblo, Col, tell of
the terrible results of heavy rains and
a cloudburst, which caused the ArlSan-
sas river to break through its banks
and flood a large territory. Several
thousand people were rendered home
less and property was damaged to the
amount probably of $500, 900, although
it is impossible at this time TO estimate
the exact loss. The water was over
three feet deep in most of the streets,
and nearly every business house on
the principal streets were filled in the
basement and first floor.
The discordant notes of the fire
alarm whistle in long and repeated
blasts warned tremulous throng that
the residents of the lowlands had bet
ter get out, and they did SO in hurry
some managing TO carry off a portion
of their belongings. Hundreds of peo-
pie, men, women and children, congre-
gated in the city hall and the armory
waiting until the waters go down and
they can go To their homes, which will
be untenable for some days. The dis
astrous flood was caused by the very
extensive rains in the Arkansas valley
above Pueblo, which have been prevail
ent for the last 4S hours. At the
water works the flood came up and
put out the fires under the boilers at
midnight, and TO add to the dismal I'M
certainty of the hour the street lights
went ont.
AS to the loss of life the first reports
were conflicting; but four bodies have
been recovered and identified, while
two other bodies were seen but could
not be reached. At least IL people are
missing and undoubtedly some of tn I'm
are lost. Besides these, company of
California CoXeyites, numbering 60,
who were camped on the river bank,
report five of their comrades missing.

EURoPE's SENSATIONS.
Emperor william Has Tumor Removed
and the War Cloud Over bulgaria.

Two sensations in Europe of great
importance in one week. First was
the announcement that an operation
had been performed upon Emperor
William and that small encysted
tumor had been cut from the emperor's
cheek. The official announcement
naturally caused the circulation of
many sensational rumors which Gre
ated momentary alarm throughout
Germany, in view of the fact that his
father died of disease of a somewhat
similar nature. 1t was not long, there
fore, before a bulletin was issued to
inform the public that neither the
tumor nor the operation was of a seri-
Gus nature.
The second startling piece of news
was contained in the dispatches from
Sofia, which announced that a revolu-
ton of some magnitude had broken
out 10 Bulgaria as the result of the
fall of Stambuloff cabinet. Owing to
the censorship over press dispatches
from Bulgaria some time may elapse
before the exact situation becomes
known; but it is not denied that serious
rioting has occurred, that the military
have taken sides for and against Prince
Ferdinand. that Russia may see in the
present disturbances an opportunity
to interfere in the affairs of southeast
ern Europe, and that this may lead to
grave complications.

100 LIVES LOST.
Frlghtful Results of the Floods In British
Columbia.

Vancouver, Il. c: Four million dol
lars will hardly cover the present loss
by the Frazer river flood, and there is
yet no sign of abatement. The waters
are still rising, and as the warm
weather continues melting the snow
in the mountains, there is no immedi-
ate prospect of beginning the work of
restoration. One prominent railway
official thinks the loss of life will reach
100. Bridges, trestles, tunnels and
tracking along the Canadian Pacific
have gone, and the company has over
1000 men at the scenes of danger day
and night. Prevelstoke to the sea, $50
miles, the railway is now a watery
waste. The last point above Vancou-
yer which now can be reached is Ruby
Creek, 80 miles distant. Thence all is
water No less than five towns are
under water, and not farm building
is left standing. Fully 10000 cattle
have persisted.
In Oregon and Washington
Portland, Ore: The waters steadily
continue to rise. No news can be OBJ
tanned from the upper Columbia region
or the Puget Sound country. The only
telegraphic communication with the
outside world is by way of San Fran
cisco. From the mouth of the Will
Jeanette to Cathlamet the lowlands are
flooded. At some places the housetops
are barely visible, and floating houses
are common sight. The town of Kali
anna is entirely under water In this
city many wharves along the river
front are swapping and cracking in an
ominous manner. On nearly all of
them there are valuable goods which
cannot be removed at present. First
floors of business houses are covered
with water and many concerns have
opened temporary offices on uptown
streets.
The good nature with which thepop-
ulace takes the Inconvenience of the
flood is surprising. Business men
smile at the rapid submerging of their
stores and appear to see a humorous
side TO it notwithstanding the conse-
quent loss by damage TO their stocks.
San Francisco: Tacoma and Seattle
are shut off absolutely from Geographic
communication with other points as
the result of the big flood. Neither
the Western Union nor the Postal Tele-
graph companies have a wire from any
direction running into the isolated
cities

NEW YoRK.EBradstreet says: The de-
cdedv unfavorable condition OF general trade
reported last week continues without material
improvement. Continued delay OF tariff legiS-
lation prolongs the sitting effect ON Wholesale
business. The great coal strike continues
without sign Of early Improvement, no conces-
sion having been rNade by either side. More
mills, factories and furnaces have closed their
doors for want OF fuel The pig iron industry
OF the central western states is practically at a
standstill for want OF soft coal or coke. AZ
Pittsburg and vicinity the scarcity OF fuel has
generally stagnated business There are no
new labor strikes OF importance TO record. but
almost all OF those previously reported are in
existence. The price movement in various
staples continues the record OF last week and
week before with concessions in quotations for
wool. cotton goods, cattle. wheat. pork and
coffee and moderate advances for oats and lard
