Terrible.

The Scenes in the Ieona Valley simply
Terrible
ST. LOUIS, Sept IA special from
San Antonio to the Post Dispatch says
ton in the flooded district for a distance
Of one hundred miles east and west from
here and extending south from the
Southern Pacific railroad to the Rio
Grande, two hundred miles away, is sim
ply terrible.
Thousands upon thousands Of acres
of pasture and farm land is still under
water 1t is estimated that the damage
to crops in the valley of the LeOna river
alone will reach a half million dollars,
while in the valleys of Saco and Sabinal
rivers the losses will be fully much
more. Many thousands head of cattle,
horses and sheep were swept away and
drowned.
Up to last midnight all kilograms re-
ceived here by the Southern Pacific rail
road officials and for the press came by
the roundabout way of FL Paso, Pueblo
and Kansas City, all direct come tion
with Uvalde and other flooded towns be-
ing cut off. The wires are now restored,
however and information from the Leona
valley is coming in. Reports received
this morning are more alarming
than the earlier ones. 1t IS
still a matter of uncertainty as to
the number of lives lost. but additions to
the list of drowned are constantly being
made. About one-half of the houses in
Uvalde, a town of $500 people, were
carried away. and there is'.mnch suffer
ing there by homeless families. but 10
more fatalities are reported there.
Nothing has yet been heard from the
settlement of seventy five families sew
eral miles below UvaI6e, but there are
still grave fears that many have been
drowned
The town of Batesville was entirely in
undated and there was heavy loss of
property, but no lives are reported lost.
There are several other towns in the
flooded dstrict, but they are away from
the railroad and telegraphic reach and
nothing can be heard from them until
the water subsidies.
All construction officials of the South
ern Pacific railroad have gone to the
scene of the principal disaster and sew
eral train loads OF material and men
have gone west to repair damage to the
track and reconstruct bridges.

Revenues Fall Off Under Protection.

The effect of high protective tariff
upon the treasury may be seen, in the
following statement obtained from the
records of the Treasury Department
In 1888 the receipts of the treasury ex-
ceeded the expenditures 81. 341 ,273, in
1889 they exceeded the expenditures
$751;, 761, OSO, in 1890, $S5, ,2n. This
was before the operation of the Nc
Kinley law. In 1891. with the McKin.
ley law in effect, the excess of the re-
>ceipts over the expenditures was $685.
S38, 541, in 1892 there was further de-
crease to 1914, 453. In 1898 the excess
was but 1884, 674. and in 1894, al
though the expenditures were less thar
those of the preceding year by $40, 1852,
676, they exceeded the receipts 500, 90o,
260.
Under the Mckinley law the receipts
diminished each year until a startling
deficiency was left.
1t should also be stated that during
President Harrison's administration
the expenditures also increased, but
the republicans had inherited from
their democratic predecessors surplus
SO large as to make up the difference
in expenditures during the two admin
strations.
