President Rogers Gives Ills Views On Ven
 ezuela Question,

Chicago. Dec, 24-Presldent Rogers, of Northwestern university, who also occupies the chair of international law at that institution, when asked to-day what he thought of President Cleve- lands message on the Venezuelan ques- ton said:
 ''I approve of that message and I do not regard it as having its inspiration in any desire for third term. I have too great regard for the president of the United States to believe he would place in a position of peril two great nations simply to further his own sell fish ends"
 The Monroe doctrine, he said was broad enough to cover an attempt such as had been made by England in re- gard to Venezuela While it was not now a part of international law, he eX- pected it to become so in few years. Nations would be compelled to ultimate ly acknowledge the principle involved, as 1t was one of the fundamental prin- ciples which kept them from encroach- ing on each others power.

CoUNCILMEN TO MEET.
Burglars sandDynamite.

Greenwich, Dec. 24.-For the second time within week burglars armed with dynamite have operated in the lit tie town of Glenville. Last night the postofflce was entered and the safe was blown to pieces with dynamite. Enough of the explosive was used to blow away the entire front of the build ing in which the office is located. Not only was the front torn away, but half of the building was wrecked. Large holes were bored in the safe and quan- titles of dynamite placed therein. The door was torn off and one side of the safe was reduced to fragments. Post age stamps and cash amounting in all to $50 were taken. The whole town was taken by the explosion, and the residents began to flock to the scene. They were too rate, however, to cap ture the perpetrators of the deed, who easily made good their escape. There
 is no clue.

Disastrous Work of the Floods in the West
 Kansas City, Mo, Dec 24.-Rain be- gan here last evening and has contin- ued uninterruptedly since. Through out Missouri the storm has been unusu- ally severe.
 At Jefferson the heavy rain last night caused great alarm in the Osage and Moreau River valleys. The already swollen streams are rising and it is feared that the high water of last week will be greatly augmented. On the bot tom farms fencing, haystacks shock corn and many outbuildings have been swept away, and many animals have been drowned. If the ain continues for twenty-four hours longer the river val leys will be devastated
 Several lives are reported to have been lost along the OsaSe valley. Advices from Tuscumbia, sixty mile s up the Osage, state that more than 100,- 000 bushels of corn within a small ra- dius of bottom land were washed away last night and thousands of railroad ties | dHu DFlQSe IlInDeFS nave HOateQ away. The Osage river is now higher than it was in 1882 when it broke the record. A telegram says that the Moyamis is higher then it ever was before. The 1 Missouri is not dangerously high, but | it is rising and promises to be booming soon. The Missouri, Kansas and Texas
 tracks have been washed away in Yer non county.
 | Two families camped on the White
 farm, near Smithfeld Mo, thirteen
 men, women and children, were sup posed to have been drowned. Two boys
 went in search of them in a boat and found them on wagon box on a hay
 stack with a. mile of water around them
 in every direction. The lads conveyed
 them two at a time in safety to land. i At Coffeyville, Kansas, the heavy
 snow of last Thursday has melted and | rain has been pouring down almost in | cessantly for twenty-four hours. This
 makes the eigth day of continuous rain
 or snow. Streams are out of their
 banks and great damage is said to be 1 the result

No Certificates Taken Out.

Philadelphia, Dec. 24.-The Philadel- phia clearing house to-day authorized the issue of clearing house certificates to any banks that may desire to make use of them. No certificates were taken out to-day, and it is not believed any of the local banks will ask for them unless the financial situation shall change considerably for the worse. The committees action was merely a pre- cautionary measure. The local money market is firm, but there is plenty of money to be had on call at AZ per cent. and on time at per cent.
