A HOTEL AT BIscAYNE DAY.
It's Construction, 1t Is Said, Will He
Followed by n Steamship Line.


Jacksonville May 5.--Next fall. accord
ing to the statement of ]. A. Mcdonald
of the firm of Mcguire & Mcdonald, build
ers for H. NJ. Flagler, Mr.. Flagler win
commence the erection of hotel at Bis
cayne Bay. The firm is now busy on
175-room hotel at East Palm Beach. Just
a short distance from the Royal Poin-
ciana.
This small fragment of news is the basis
for many rumors and a number of san
guine predictions, chief of which is that
the East Coast .2ilway is to be extended
on down the state from Palm Beach to
Biscayne Bay, where deep water can be
found, and that from Biscayne a line of
steamships is to be established to run TO
the Bahamas, to Havana or Matanzas,
and to Jamaica-in other words, that the
railroad magnate of the east coast pro-
poses to enter into competition with Mr.
Plant for the business of the islands Of
the Caribbean sea. If such a line were
established ii would have the advantage
of being the short line by all the way
from SeVenty-fiVe to 100 miles over the
Plant steamship line from Tampa, on the
west coast, to Havana; and that the Ba-
hamas would be reached by daylight.
The Florida Central and Peninsular peo-
pie, who are friendly toward the Flagler
interests even go SO far as to confidently
predict that dirt will be flying on the eX-
Nnsson inside of thirty days. and that
when the dirt begins to fly the contracts
for fast steamboats, will be let.
They add that if the line and the steam
boat end of 1t are established a mail
contract for the West Indies is sure to
follow by virtue of the shorter time con-
sumed in reaching the desired destination
The hotel men are also interested in the
rumors They think that these rumorcd
facilities would hurt the business in the
state by carrying people to the Bahamas
and 20 Cuba; but on the other hand it is
argued that more people would be brought
into the state; and again that Mr.. Flag
Ter would not operate such a line If he
thought that his Florida hotel property
would be materially injured
WorlS is now being rapidly pushed in the
extensionsof the east coast canal, in which
Mr. Flagler is more Interested than any
others. This canal is practically completed
from St. Augustine to Lake Worth. and
the active operations are from Lake Worth
south to New river about half way be-
tween Lake Worth and Biscayne Bay
This is considered a factor In the guess

FLOOD. TIDINGS.
Great Destruction of Crops by Cloudbursts
 In Colorado Floods In New Mexico.

Great Destruction of Crops by Cl0udbursts in Colorado Floods In New Mexico.
 DENVER, Col, Aug. 2.-Colorado 9. has been visited for two days with the most destructive rains and cloudbusts in the history of the state. At Boulder, 40 miles north of Denver, inches of rain fell in four hours, damaging crops to an inestimable extent. Irrigation ditches and fumes have been damaged along their entire length.
 At Loveland, the biggest ditch in northern Colorado broke through the sides in several places, flooding the country in the neighborhood, which contains well cultivated fields.
 At Golden the Gulf trains are all tied up, because the track up Clear Creek places and four bridges have been car ried away.
 In the towns of Central City and Blackhawk, at the head of Clear creek, floods have caused considerable dam- age to houses and mining operations are interfered with on account of the washing away of fumes.
 At SdIShlli, N. M., tne ISeu TlNer went on rampage, bridges were washed out and several families in the town had to flee for their lives. From score of other points in the mountains come reports of heavy rains and cloud bursts.
 A special to the Republican from Santa Fe states that thirty houses were destroyed at Socorro by the flood, most of the buildings being of adobe. The heavy downpour continued for two or three hours, during which time the waters spread from several arroyas over nearly the entire town.

THE GREAT CORN CROP.
Estimated It VIII Exceed by 100000, 1000

Bushels Any Previous Year.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The crop of corn this year will be the largest that has ever been known. It is estimated at the present time that the yield will exceed by 200,0O0,O0O bushels, the record of any previous year. How much depends upon the corn crop is realized by few. The corn crop will bring more money, if marketed, than all other grain products combined. The estimated yield of corn for this year is from 2,25O, 900, 900 to 2,5OO, 900, 900 bush- els. At the present price, which is 35 cents for December or May delivery, the crop would be worth $500, 900, 900. A decline of cents a bushel would mean difference of SIS, GOO, 900 in the value of the crop. To emphasize the im- mensity of this production it may be said that the state of Iowa alone will raise enough corn this year to supply more than five bushels to every man, woman and child in the United States. Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas comprise what has been termed the corn belt. This section fur, nishes nearly, if not quite, two-thirds oi the entire corn prodnot- So favorable have the reports become of an enor. nous yield that the managers of the various railroads that traverse the val leys of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers are already making arrange ments and perfecting their equipment for handling the crop.

LIVE STOCK SHIPMENTS.
Secretary Morton Determined the Laws
 Thereon Shall Be Enforced.

Thereon Shall Be Enforced.
 WASHINGTON, July 31.--Compara. lively frequent complaints have been filed at the agricultural department alleging violations of the law by rail. way companies in keeping live stock in transit confined in cars for over twenty-four hours, the legal allotted time, or failing to give the stock five continuous hours of rest when unload ed. Most of the complaints involve western roads.
 Secretary Morton is determined that the laws regulating the transportation of live stock shall be enforced, and representatives of the department will be required to assist by furnishing all information of violations of the law that can be procured to the depart ment of justice. The secretary has sent to all railway companies engaged in live stock transportation the follow ing circular, insisting on strict com pliance with the law:
 The attention of the officers of all railway companies engaged in the transportation of live stock from one state or territory into an- UtucT, UT WuOSe TOduS lOTm uuy part Ol d IlHt transporting live stock from one state or ter ritory into another, is directed to sections iSs6, 43s7, 1888 and 1889 of the revised statutes Complaint has been made to this departmen, by it's officers supervising the movement of animals in the interstate and export trade that the provisions of those sections are no, complied with by many railway companies, and that cattle and other live stock are con- fined in cars for a period exceeding twenty l loaded they are no: allowed the five consecu- tive hours for rest provided by statute.
 The failure of the railway companies to con- form with this law causes animals great suffer- ing while in transit to points of destination which it is the intention of the law to prevent Railway companies will therefore make suct arrangements as are necessary in their train service and provide the necessary feeding and watering stations to comply with the statutes and any failure to do this will render them liable, on conviction, to the penalty provided in section 43sS

One Portion of the Town Entirely Under
 Water-Two Boys Drowned.
 FoRT ScoTT, Kan, July 3l.-An un. precedented precipitation of rain in the southeast corner of Kansas yester- day has again flooded the streams and wrecked destruction to life and prop erty. In seven hours 4.22 inches of water fell in the city, and last evening the entire lower portion of town was inundated. The bodies of two boys lie somewhere on the submerged streets. The Missouri Pacific shops are surround ed and the train service has been par tially abandoned. Many families have been driven from their homes by the trespassing river, which is still rising. The Marmaton river, Mill creek and Buck run have become one stream, spreading over sections of land which have not for years been submerged.
 Walter Austin and Willie Gould, two we'll known boys, were drowned yes terday evening on one of the principal streets, and o. Austin, father of one of the boys, was carried 200 yards in the treacherous current and finally res- cued from the top of tree by boat men.

Uncle Sam VIII Insist on Seeing the Rec.
 ords in the Waller Case.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Failing to re- ceive any assurance of progress from Am bassador Eustis in the Waller case, Acting Secretary of State Adee has again cabled him to press the request for the record of Walters trial at Mad. agascar, and has instructed him at some length as to the position which he should take In presenting it. It is understood the department has adopted the view that this government is entitled to full record of the pro. ceedings and that Mir. Eustis has been instructed to say to the French author ities that nothing less than the in, spection of the complete papers in the case will be sufficient to satisfy the United States whether justice has been done. It is also stated, on what is be. lieved to be good authority, that the instructions to Mir. Eustis go farther in that they direct him to say that a final refusal to furnish complete transcript will be accepted by this gov. ernment as a denial of justice.

BUSINESS AT A sTANosTlLL,
The Usual Midsummer Relaxation of Trade
 Has Finally Arrived.


 NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-R c. Dun, X There is a perceptible halt which may deceive if attributed to wrong causes. Trade two months late in spring pushed forward into July large share of business belonging to April or May. Seeing rush for orders out of time many imagined it. would continue, and hurried to give other orders. The jam of two months business into one lifted prices. Then other orders came to anticipate further rise. But the mid. summer halt was inevitable, and it is yet somewhat uncertain how much i'm. provement will appear after it.
 The general advance in many prod. ucts also causes reluctance to purchase, and the distribution of the past halt year has been in part to make up for stocks and individual supplies depleted during the two years of economy. On the other hand, there has been an enor, nous increase in the working force and considerable increase in wages paid, which, enables people to buy more freely. Strikes of some impor- tance appear, but do not yet threaten to last long, though a strike of coal miners may for time affect business somewhat extensively. The hopeful spirit prevailing in nearly all markets may find its warrant in spite of some shortage in crops
 Wheat suddenly rose 8 cents on bad reports of condition, but has dropped all the gain as the scantiness of ex' ports is felt, shipments in July having been only S,495,064 bushels, flour in cluded, from Atlantic ports, agains, Q, s65,63 last year. Western receipts continue very small and farmers ap. pear to be holding for higher prices Corn is a shade stronger, although the reports are decidedly favorable.
 Failufes for the week have been 26l in the United States against 23O last year and 2s in Canada against A las, year.

Burmese Girls.

In every household the daughter has her appointed work. In all but the richer merchants houses the daugh- ter's duty is to bring the water from the we'll evening and morning. It is the gossiping place of the village, this well, and as the the sun sets there come running down all the girls of the village. As they fill their jars they lean over the curb and talk, and it is here that is told the latest news, the latest irritation, the latest marriage, the little scandal of the place. Very few men come. Water-carrying is not their duty, and there is proper time and place for irritation. So the girls have the we'll almost to themselves. Almost every girl will weave. In every household there will be a loom, where the girls weave their dresses and those of their parents. A very many girls will have stalls in the bazar, but of this will speak later. Other duties are the husking of rice and the making of cheroots. Of course, in the richer households there will be servants to do all this; but even in them the daughter will frequently weave, either for herself or for her parents Almost every girl will dc something, if it be only to pass the time. e.-Blackwood's Magazine.

 SALTL LAKE, Utah, Aug. 2.-A special from St. Anthony says: The people of this and surrounding towns are still very much excited over the Indian scare, and almost every hour brings fresh rumors. Last evening young man named Paul came into town and declared that another small band of Indians, with squaws and papooses, were making their way toward the Hole, a few miles north of this town. On the strength of this Baxter Hopkins immediately left town on horseback for the purpose of verify ing the same. He went as far north as Marysville, 20 miles distant, and there found the settlers in state of wild excitement. It is said the set. tiers have organized themselves and are now taking every precaution for their own safety.

 LANDER, Wyo., July 3l.-A courier from Clark's ranch, at the head of Big Wind river, reports that the sheriff s posse were to leave there for Jackson s Hole, by way of Union pass. The In- dians have started forest fires in heavy timber along the pass, but Sheriff Grimmett made up his mind to attempt the passage with his party. J. Miller has just arrived from the mines and reports camp of 300 Indians near Oregon Buttes, not far from South Pass city. He says they are un- accompanied by squaws or papooses, and it is probably war party. Mount ed men left here last night in small squads to SCOUT the country, not only to look after the Indians. but to warn settlers as well. These Indians have been assembling there for the past three days A party of forty-seven Sioux were seen on the Bad Water by Deputy Sheriff Baldwin. These In- dians were undoubtedly on their way to Sweet Water, and are probably a part of those reported camped at Ore gon Buttes. They were in paint and feathers and decorated with war bon
