ALTON, Ills, Sept. 3.-Labor Day was

CARNEGIE PUTS IN A WORD.

Wants England TO Settle the Irish Cues
ton Because 1t Worries Uncle sam.
LONDON, Sept. 3.-In n long letter from
Andrew Carnegie, which Is published In
The Times, Carnegie urges that the paper
exert Its influence to bring about a pacific
solution of the Irish question. Such q
course, Carnegie says, would probably
command support in Canada, australia,
and all the large cities populated by our
rnce abroad" Carnegie then says that the
language of tine call for n convention of
1rish-Americans at Pittsburg, Pa, shows
the despair and disappointment of men
who see in the advent of the Conservative
party Of Great Britain to power no hope
for justice for Ireland. The letter than
gives Carnegie's views in favor of home
rule at considerable length, and concludes
with saying: The question is not only
a British one, but unfortunately an Amer
lean as well, casting its baneful influence
OyeF our politics."

the high efficiency of the service. The con.

SUNSHINE And WARMTH AT LAST.
SpringIike Weather Follows the Fear
full Storm.
Heorofc Work of the Men Who Are
Fighting the Sierra Snows-H1gh
Water in the Valley.

When the city awoke yesterday morn
ing the sun was climbing up from be-
hind the Sierra Nevada Mountains into a
sky as blue and bright as that of a morn
ing in July, and everybody was glad.
A feeble effort to create disappointment
was made once during the day by few
detached clouds which came up from the
south and rolled across the heavens, but
they had to go it alone, and the rest of
the day was as soft and balmy as typical
April day.
Children were released from their homes
where they had been confined for many
days by wind and transforms, and the
streets and school-yards again resounded
with their merry voices. Everyone felt
that the backbone of winter had been
broken, and the condition of the weather
was such as to warrant that belief.
A few weeks of warm sunshine will
cause the trees to bud and blossom and
the grass and grain to shoot rapidly up
ward, and the discomforts and damage
caused by the prolonged storms through
which the people had passed will soon be
forgotten under the inspiriting influence
OF the early springtime.
Yesterdays RECORD.
The Weather Bureau reports show the
highest and lowest temperatures yester-
day to have been 540 and 3S', with light
northerly winds and clear weather pre-
vailing.
The barometrical readings at A. NJ
and p. NJ. were 30.09 and 80. l6 inches,
respectively.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were o6' and So, Z,
and one year ago to-day Az and 40, with
no rain on either day.
The rainfall during Tuesday night was
20 of an inch, making for this month S.42
inches, as against 4.l7 inches for the en-
tire month OF January, 1894.
The total for this season is now 19. 20
inches, as against 9.19 inches to the 1st of
February last year, and l6. 80 inches for
the whole of last season.
The river gauge last evening showed %
feet inches, the stream being at a stand
still.
WORTHLESS PREDICTIONS.
Harmon, the weather forecast official
in San Francisco, is either a very poor
guesser or else the San Francisco papers
are doing him great injustice. The Call
of yesterday said:
According to Mr.. Harmon, there has
been sufficient precipitation to warrant
the statement that there will be twenty
six feet above high water at Sacramento
tonight"
MI hauLlon eNloently knows nothing
whatever about the Sacramento River,
and yet he is permitted to send out daily
the most ridiculous predictions" about
1t, not single one OF which has ever
been fulfilled.
This great prophet seems to be about as
successful at guessing on the weather.
The same article above quoted also con-
tanned the following: 81 can safely saw
said the prophet yesterday Cruesday),
that the rain will continue tomorrow
and perhaps longer. just how long this
will last l would not attempt to say, but
you can rest assured it will rain to-
morrow"
Every body knows that the weather was
delightful yesterday, with not a cloud in
sight for ten minutes. It didn't even
rain at San Francisco.

burg in the Same Fix.
Considerable damage is occurring
down the river in the Lisbon District
on the Iolo side and nearly opposite
Freeport. The water is flowing over the
levees, and large number of men are
employed in raising the embankments
with sacks of earth.
Similar trouble is being experienced at
Ryde Landing, to which place upward of
1000 empty sacks were forwarded from
this city yesterday.
The levee near Clarksburg, also on the
1olo side OF the river, has given way,
and the hamlet is inundated, the resi-
dents being compelled TO use boats to
pass from house to house.
The river is also overlooking the leyees
on this side of Rio Vista, and a vast
stretch OF country, almost as far as the
eye can reach, Is under water, only the
tops of the fence-posts being visible.
Word was received yesterday from the
vicinity of Peters Ferry requesting thai
number OF sacks be forwarded immedi-
ately, so that there is evidently trouble
expected in that locality.
The steamer San Joaquin No. 8, with q
barge IN tow, went up the river yester-
day for the purpose of removing the
livestock from Shulmyer's ranch near
knights Landing. She will probably
return this morning.

the lower Sacramento were intact,

A Prisoner Breaks Out of the WASH
tngton Calaboose.
Last Sunday night two shotguns were
stolen from Myers saloon in Washing
ton, and few hours later one of them
was recovered from second hand dealer
on K street in this city, where it had been
pawned for nominal sum.
The guns belonged to A. V. Shepple-
man and j. Myer, and were valued at $50
each. Tuesday evening a man named
William Conley was arrested in Wash
ington on suspicion of having stolen the
firearms. He acknowledged having
pawned Sheppleman's gun, and was
locked up in the Washington Jail.
During the night he broke a piece from
his bedstead and, climbing upon the in
side door of the jail, he forced up board
in the ceiling and escaped by jumping
out of window in the upper portion OF
the structure.
It's stated that he escaped by a similar
method from the same place when ar
rested something over a year ago.
