SACRAMENTO, Jan. 22.-The small ranch
levees on the Yolo side of the Sacramento
River, some miles below here, are said to
be giving way, and the back water of
the tule basin is creeping up toward
Washington. 1t is expected that some of
the lower portions of that village will be
covered with water.
The Sacramento River has risen steadily
except slight fall at Sacramento. This is
probably due to the breaking of levee in
that vicinity. The observer at Red Bluff
reports at 5:45 O'Clock this evening as fol-
lows: "The river marks 255 feet and is en-
tirely out of its bank on the east side A
great extent of country is under water"
He anticipated great damage to prop
erty unless the flood recedes tonight.
Owing to the heavy rains of to-day the
river will continue to rise for day at least
yet this would indicate damaging floods
in the Upper Sacramento. The river will
probably reach 26.5 feet at Sacramento by
Thursday

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 22.-George c. Perkins,
by the grace of the Republican party and
one Democratic vote, is United States
Senator and colleague of Stephen NJ.
White by election. NJ. II. de Young
gathered up his grip and, with all of his
marshals but one, took the afternoon train
for the city.
While the De Young forces were making
their hurried preparations to retreat from
the Senatorial Waterloo other preparations
for celebration were in the hands of the
victors. Tonight George C. Perkins is
holding a levee in the parlors of the Golden
Eagle Hotel. There is triumph, speech,
music, wine and felicitation there. Hardly
a Senator or an Assemblyman is absent,
and the scores of politicians, those who
worked for and those who labored against,
have come forward to congratulate and
shake hands.
kilograms of goodwill have poured in
like deluge, from Oakland, from Los
Angeles, from San Francisco. The wire
has borne its congratulatory tidings from
Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Utah and
Arizona It is a night of jubilation among
the friends of the Senator elected to con-
tinve in office. Senator Perkins shakes
hands well. He has the art of using a
happy phrase at the right moment. He
has need of these accomplishments to-
night Just before NJ. II. de Young took
the train for San Francisco he made a
statement. It is this:
"I have been beaten fairly. What more
can l say? Senator Perkins had more
votes than I and he was elected. 1 will
not say elected, because three ballots were
taken in the Senate, and as I understand
the law, that does not legally elect him +;
but what is the use of quibbling over tech
nicalities? He has the votes and can be
legally elected in joint session tomorrow.
1t was battle fought squarely and fairly.
was defeated. I have no complaint to
make. All that remains for me to do is
congratulate Senator Perkins upon his
victory
MI de 1OunS received an 1nVlCaIlon 10

he decided to return to San Francisco. Not
a legislator anticipated the result which
took place shortly after noon to-day. It
was believed by all that prolonged con-
test was to be inaugurated. Not till
TREY L. Ford moved for a second ballot
in the Senate did it dawn upon the minds
of those who had gathered to witness the
Senatorial struggle that plan of cam.
paign had been mapped out, which meant
victory in one decisive encounter. Then,

DAMAGE IN YoLo COUNTY.
Streams Deer Banks and Railroad
Bridges Stcept At0Gy.


WOODLAND, Jan. 22.-The storm con-
tinued last night and all of to-day, and the
rainfall in the Coast Range Mountains and
western part of the county has been very
| heavy A fierce southeast wind prevailed
! in the valley last night, accompanied by
, light rains. All the streams in Yolo
County, except Putah Creek, overdowed
their banks. The damage to railroads and
bridges has been very heavy. The rainfall
has been very steady throughout the
county this afternoon, and the indications
are favorable for continuation tonight,
in the event of which much greater damage
will surely result.
Railroad travel has been completely
| stopped, and several days must necessarily
elapse before the roads can be put in rum
ming order. A construction train got
| stalled between two washouts between
Dunning and Blacks last night and was un-
able to proceed until to-day
| Cache Creek has left its banks near Yolo,
and the water in that town Is two feet deep
| at the railroad station. Farmers living
north of here have been driven from their
homes by the high water, and the railroad
has been washed out for distance of two
miles between Yolo and Woodland. On
the Knights Landing road a similar state
of affairs exists and the inner levee of the
big Hayes and Garoutte ranch, near Graf
| ton broke this afternoon, and every acre is
under water. The loss of county bridge
over Buckeye Creek, near Dunnigan, is
reported, and three spans of the bridge at
Capay, besides great deal of the grade on
the north side, have been swept away.
! Traffic on the Capay Valley road is un-
| impaired and also on the Southern Pacific
as far as Woodland. The railroad bridge
over Putah Creek, near Winters was
threatened, but by the use of a pile-driver

given is that which goes for the breaking
of rich mems wills, s'undue influence"
It is said that as late as last night there
were four doubtful ones brought into the
Perkins camp by the influence of Alvinza
Hayward, who knew that Perkins was
right on the questions that worried most
people interested. They were Senator
VOORHEES, and Assemblymen Tibbitts, Dun
bar and Coleman, who came from Amador,
Calaveras and Alpine.
It is curious to learn tonight that the
bold stroke by which Perkins gathered the
victory to himself on the first day, that of
taking a second ballot in the Senate, was the
result of hurried word of advice from DIR.
J. r. Matthews, assistant State Librarian,
clever parliamentarian, gained through
long experience in the Legislature and an
alert friend of Perkins. The Perkins man.
ayers were not aware of their right to make
this move, although they saw the fitness of
it.. At that juncture DR.. Matthews came
upon the scene and Immediately suggested
and urged the move. 1t was ordered and
victory secured.
The disastrous defeat of De Young is at
tributed almost universally by Legislators
and politicians as a rebuke to the twin
evils which curse the State, bossism in
politics and the railroad in politics. Legis-
lators are frank to admit that they would
rather have voted for w. 81. Mills,
as openly railroad man who might rise
superior to his environments, than for M
H. de Young, backed by Dan Burns and by

grams which came to the legislators to-
day. n. L. f. Bachman, Democrat rep
resenting MADEIRA and Fresno in the As
sembly, received six kilograms from prom
inent Democrats in his district urging him
to cast party aside and to vote for Perkins
if it became necessary to do so in order to
defeat De Young and the railroad in poll
tics.
"The interview which THE CALL pub
lished with D. M. Burns, in which he
stated that he was for De Young, ruined
any chance which De Young might have
had" said Mr.. Bachman. Burns blights
what he touches. Before he announced
that he was for De Young, Perkins had but

Burns is Jonah. He led the gallant Estee
to defeat. When. he came out for De
Young the latter was deserted by the wav-
ering ones. I consider Mr.. Estee an hon.
orable and an able man. Had Burns not
been making a fight for him he would have
been elected.
sit was Republican year. Budd was
not elected by Democratic votes but by the
people who rose up to rebuke Burns. In
the Legislative struggle which has closed
in the selection of Mr.. Perkins as United
States Senator it was understood that De
Young had the railroad backing. That
and Burns killed his cause. Senator Per-
kins' hostility to the Reilly funding bill
and to the diversion of Government aid
from San Pedro to Santa Monica opposed
two things dead to the railroad in politics,

the railroad in politics. 1t is not in oppo-
that they speak, but to the railroad when
it makes entry into politics and seeks to
force the nomination of United States
Senator
"It was the wish of my constituents that
vote for Senator Perkins. 1t was my in
dividual preference as well, said Senator
Franck. 1.-THE blighting effect of the rail-
road in politics and the no less injurious
effect of bossism, as represented by D. M.
Burns, have received their proper rebuke.
The people of Santa Clara County are not
opposed to the railroad in the conduct of
an honorable business as common car
rier, but they do. not propose that the cor
poration shall longer rule the politics Of
the State. The people of Santa Clara are
not opposed to Mr.. de Young as an indi-
vidual, but they believed that he repre-
sented the railroad and would be largely
influenced by Colonel Burns"

Benito, was guarded in his statement. 81

Where the BIame neIongs.

Editor Morning News; The frightful
street car accident in Cleveland Saturday
night, together with the numerous minor
accidents here and elsewhere, not to men
ton the innumerable hair-breadth es-
capes, may well set us TO thinking.
Here for instance. we have electric
cars running in all directions sometimes
ten, twelve or fifteen miles an hour: we
have cars continually crossing railroad
tracks, or each others tracks. OF course,
the companies have rules, which, il
punctualy followed. are a reasonable pre-
caution against accidents, but the Cleve-
land company had rules, too Rules are
not enough.
Some of these days, in spite Of our
rules, we are liable to have a sick
ening horror right here at home Better
try to prevent than to cure afterwards.
Moto1men and conductors naturally get
the blame for all these accidents and are
promptly arrested afterwards If perchance
they are not killed themselves. These
men occupy position of grave RESPONSE
bllity, II would not seem less so than that
OF the engineer and conductor of a pas
senger train. Their working hours are
twice as severe ceaseless, arduOus toll
from day break to midnight, you may say,
IN all kinds of weather. And for what
KIND of pay? Scarcely half as much as
in the case of the railroad employees. Ere
quently they have to support a family on
what is scarcely enough for the man
alone to live decently upon, and, besides,
constantly liable to be arrested for acct
dents for which they may or may not be
justly blameable.
The street railroads cannot get such
men as they ought to have for such wages
as they pay A man fit for such RESPONSE
biiues can usually get another and bet
ter job. Undoubtedly there are occasional
exceptions, but the general truth OF this
position cannot be denied
The obvious answer Of the oompanies
is that they cannot afford to pay more
but whether this be true or not, ii makes
no difference. Either they must pay
enough. to get men competent to fiji the
responsible positions they occupy, or they
must stop running the cars. Nor should
even such men be competent to work such
and so many hours as to blunt or almost
destroy their faculties Better reform
now than wait the occurrence of an ac-
cident more serious than the mere occa-
SIGNAL killing of somebody's child
DemOcritus.

A RAPIsT RoPED.
Begged a Meal, Assaulted a Girl ana
Decorated n Tree.


Frederick, Nd, Nov. 17.-Frederick Co
ings. young negro, begged food at the
residence OF Hamilton Geisbert, near this
city yesterday afternoon. After eating
vcraciously. he assaulted Miss Lille
Jones, who. he discovered. was alone in
the house. In overcoming the girls re-
sistance the negro broke her nose and cut
her with razor. He was arrested and
held for a hearing on Monday. A few
hours later. he was taken from the Jail
by mob and hung to a tree on which,
a Few years ago. the negro Bigus was
lynched for the same dastardly crime.
The lynchlng party numbered 500 or
more. They demanded the KEYS OF the
laller, and We're refused. but they wasted
no time in parleying. Sheriff Zimmerman
fired his revolver into the crowd. but
nobody was hurt. The sheriff rang the
jail bell for assistance, but none came
and while the bell was ringing the door
was burst in. A few moments later Co
ng's cell door was forced and he was
hustled out of town 10 the spot desig-
mated by natural selection. a Salvation
Army lassie, who had kept by the side
OF the doomed man. regardless of the
fact that he was about to be hung for an
assault on one of her own sex, asked
permission 10 pray for him. Permission
was given. The girl knelt by his side
and offered up last petition for the con-
demned man. She then disap peared in
the darkness. A moment later Going was
swung up. A single shot was fred. Some
one, mercifully inclined, sent a bullet
into Coins body. 1t pierced his heart
and ended his agony
A member of the mob made a brief
speech, in which he said that they were
there with the unfortunate wretch not
in a spirit of malice but to make an ex-
ample of him. and to teach his race that
they must let the women of Frederick
county alone. The lynching occurred be-
tween midnight and l o'clock this morn
ing
