ton to the imp~racticability Of a technical
compliance with the requirements OF Sec
ton 5 of the new tariff act, providing that
invoices must state quantities exactly.
Secretary Carlisle has written a letter in
which he says:
The department recognizes the correct
ness OF your contention in the matter and
admits the impracticability Of such a math-
eniatical ascertainment of the quantity.

article as would result from the actual
measurement Of every spool of cotton or
the gauging of every bottle Of wine. In
view of this condition it is held that the
law is complied with when the packages
which contain such articles as are usually
marked. stamped, branded or labeled duly
indicate the quantity of their contents.
Such packages must accordingly show the
number of pieces or articles contained, re-
spectively. therein. This ruling does not
change the instructions heretofore issued
regarding the marking of goods so as to
indicate the country of origin, but refers
solely to the provisions in Section . respect

Further Details Regarding the Dis
astrous Flood ia Texas.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 1.-The scene
OF destruction and desoiation in the flooded
district, for a distance Of one hundred
miles east and west of here, and extending
south from the Southern Pacific railroad
to the Rio Grande, two hundred miles
away, is simply terrible. Thousands upon
thousands OF acres of ~pasturage and farm
land is under water. 1t is estimated that
the damage TO crops in the valley OF the
Leona river alone will reach 100000. while
in the valleys of the Saco and Sabinal
rivers the loss will be fully as much more.
Many thousand head of cattle, horses and
sheep were swept away and droWned. Up
to last midnight all kilograms received
here by the Southern PACING railroad OIL
Gals and for the press came by the round
about way of Ell Paso, Pueblo and Kansas
City, all direct connection with Uvalde and
o-her Hooded towns being cut OH. The
wires are now restored. however, and infor-
nation 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 coming in. About
of $500 population, were carried away, and
there is much suffering there by homeless
families, but no more fatalities are re-
ported. Nothing has yet been heard from
the settlement of seventy-five families sew
eral miles below Uvalde, but there are still
grave fears that many. if not all, of them
town of Batesville was entil ely inundated,
and there was heavy loss of property, but
no lives are reported lost. There are sew
eral other towns in the Hooded district,
but they are away from railroad and tele-
graphic reach. and nothing can be heard
from them until the waters subside. All
construction officials Of the Southern Pa
cidc railroad have gone to the scene of the
principal disaster, and several trainloadS of
material and men have gone west TO repair
damage to tracks aid to reconstruct
bridges

The Bee Division. of Beeville, Tex, was
awarded a prize of $500 for travelling the
longest distance to Washington.
The Indiana men are greatly pleased that
they have done so well, although it is con-
coded that several divisions, notably the
New Albany division, should have had a
better place in the list of prize winners, as
it is conceded that they equaled, if they did
not excel, the West Virginia team from
Parkersburg. The Hoosiers, however. are
making no 'kick." and such as have not
left town are being serenaded tonight by
the comrades.
An Associated Press dispatch says: The
