Grand Eralted Ruler Detaoetler Issues a
Circular to EIks.
HARRISBURG, Pa, May 3l.-As an
outcome of the strife between the factions
of the Elks, Grand Exalted Ruler Det-
weller has issued an official circular to the
officers and members of all subordinate
lodges. Mr.. Detweiler declares that he
means to uphold the trust vested in him
at any cost to prevent the attempts of
misguided secessionists' to disrupt the
order. In conclusion, he says:
81 hereby warn all lodges holding or
claiming to hold dispensations and char
tiers from the Grand Lodge of the B, P. O..
E. from recognizing in any way the So
called and spurious Grand Lodge which
met at Atlantic City in June, 1894, and
which it is proposed to hold there in July,
1895. forbid any representation of any
subordinate lodges from attending the
meetings of said illegal, contumacious and
rebellious body. I forbid any and all
lodges from paying their per capita tax to
any of the officers of said body under
penalty of having to pay the same again
and the courts have rendered a decision
with the penalty further imposed by our
laws

STRUCK BY A WATERSPOUT
A Texas Lake Bursts Through
Dam and Floods the Sur
rounding Country.
One Life Is Lost, Hundreds of Cattle
Perish, and Great Damage Is
Done to Property.

WACO, TEX, May 31.-A special from
Hillsboro, Tex, to the News says water
spout struck near there last night. 1t
caused an eighty-aore lake to burst
through dam. About 600 feet of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad
tracks were washed away. A similar loss
occurred to the Cotton Belt Railroad. and
rails were twisted in all sorts of shapes
All wires were down until this morning
between Waco and Hillsboro, and COM
munication with Fort Worth and Dallas
was cut off.
Trains on the M, K. and T. and Santa
Fee are coming over the Waco and North
western and the Houston and Texas Gen.
trail. The Santa Fe is also washed out
forty miller south from here.
Several hundred cattle were drowned in
the blackberry Bottom, near Hillsboro, and
in South HiIlsboro several families were
driven from their homes. One house was
demolished. No trains have arrived at
Hillsboro at this time from the north and
mails from that direction are from five to
twelve hours late. No estimate can be
obtained as yet of the loss. An unknown
man was drowned near Hillsboro.

COLOMBIA IS DAMAGED,
Tariff Retaliation Caused Great
Loss to the Republics
Trade.
General Regnifo VIII Soon Present
Claim to the United
States.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 31.-General
Regnifo, the representative here of the re-
public of Colombia, expects to be author
lied by his Governme nt to present claim
against the United States for damages sus-
tanned by Colombia by the reason of Presi-
dent Harrison's proclamation of tariff re-
taliation. Secretary Blaine effected reel
procity treaties with most of the South and
Central American republics, but Colon bia
and few other countries refused to make
such treaties. They were warned that il
they held against reciprocity they would
be retaliated against.
This failed to effect any arrangement.
Thereupon, at the suggestion of Secretary
of State John w. Foster, who had sue
ceeded Mr.. Blaine, President Harrison
proclaimed discriminating tariff rates
against the coffee, hides, sugar and mo-
lasses of Colombia This practically ruined
the trade of Colombia, as her coffee and
hides could not be sent to this country
against the competition of Brazil, Mexico
and other countries which enjoyed free
dom from duties under the reciprocity
treaties.
These exports to the United States
reached ABOUT 5,0OO,OOO pesos, peso being
worth about 45 cents, but imme diately after
the proclamation they fell to almost
nothing. Colombia protested against the
retaliation, claiming that the most favored
nation clause of the treaty with the United
States protected her against the tariff dis
elimination. Secretary Foster and the
Colombian Minister, Senior Hurtado,
carried on sharp and very personal cor
respondence, and the Minister finally left
Washington with the statement that he
would not return until q settlement was
effected. No settlement was ever made,
and the submission of Colombia S claim for
loss and damage sustained will be the
result

AMERICAN FARMING.
Opinion of the London Times on the Sys
tenn IN This COuntrn.


LONDON, May 81 The Times this
morning has an editorial commenting
upon the agricultural report of Hugh
Cough, first secretary of the British EN-
bassy in Washington. 1t says:
''All the dismal comparisons contained
in this report tell one tale of enormous
production at unremunerative prices
With exceedingly cheap land and with
economy of production and handling car.
ried to remarkable length by commsrcia
ingenuity, the American producers are yet
baffled by the magnitude of their own
operations.
Loudly as the American farmers com.
plain. they at all events have plenty. Most
of them would probably have failed to en-
JOY as much as this had they remained in
European cities to glut the labor market
They desire, however, to command more
of the good things of life, and it is from
them that the demand comes for all sorts
of economic experiments.
They are firm believers in the notion
that an increased currency would cause a
rise in prices. Therefore they are an easy
prey of the willy persons who want to sell
silver. But the price of grain at Liver
pool would not alter, though every West
ern farmer had all the silver the mine.
owners are anxious to supply"

OMAHA, NEBR., May 31.-The following

and 5000 miles of water lines, with thirty-one
steamers and river boats which were not pay.
ing operating expenses.
Yet, in the face of this fact, q steamer was
built at a cost of $250,000, which after COM
pletion proved to be worthless and was laid up
before one seasons service, and this steamer
has been totally unit for any service since. A
number of other boats were condemned by the
United States Inspectors and for several years
past have been rotting in the docks at Port
land
This property never earned the dividend on
the capital stock referred to. Not content, how
ever, over the entire failure of the boat line,
the past management built q branch line of
ninety-three miles from Tekoa to Wallace and
from Burke, Idaho, to the Coeur d'Alene mines,
in a country already occupied by the Northern
Pacific, to get C business that did not pay either
company, according to those best in a position
to know.
