1t Has Greatly Retarded Farm Work I'm
Portions of Minnesota.
ST. PAUL, May 20.-The Minnesota
crop bulletin says: The past week has
been one of frequent rains, some Sec
tions of the state having experienced six
consecutive rainy days, beginning with
Tuesday of last week. The result of SO
much rain has been to greatly retard
farm work, many farmers not being
able to get on to their fields at all, while
in the Red river valley four days work
was reported for the week. Corn is
being planted, but many are holding
back, thinking it yet unfayorable for
planting. The cool wet weather during
the latter part Of the week has been
very favorable for the stoolingof wheat.
Chinch bugs have made their appear
ance in Olmsted, Dodge and Brown
counties, but as yet have done no dam
age. Wild hay land and some wheat
have been damaged by water in Sber-
burne county.

Hundreds of People Forced to

CRooKsToN, Mimi, May 20.-The
entire south portion of the city, includ-
ing nearly all below Houston avenue, is
submerged, and the same fate has come
to nearly all the residences upon Je-
rome's addition.
The Red Lake river was never known
to be within two feet as high as now.
The force at work building dyke to
prevent the water encroaching upon
Chase's addition was compelled to aban-
don the task, and at midnight many
hours of hard labor had been swept
away That portion of the city, in
which were 30 families, mostly of the
laboring classes, is under water to the
depth of 10 or 10 feet. The hope that
the dyke would be successful deferred
these people from moving early in the
evening, and during the night many OF
them were
Taken Out OF Their Houses In Boats
from the upper windows. Quite num-
ber of cows have been drowned, as well
as hundreds of small household ami
mails.
The river in places is mile wide.
The bridges still hold, but it is impos-
sible to communicate with the south
side of the river except by boat. The
electric light plant has shut down, and
the water is within four inches of the
fires under the boilers at the water
works pumps. These may be stopped at
any time. The city council met at Q
o'clock to prepare for emergencies. A
relief committee has been formed to
care for the destitute. At least 200
families have been forced to leave their
homes, and are being cared for by their
more fortunate neighbors

MILWAUKEE, May 20.-There is no
change to note tn the street railway
strike situation, except, perhaps, an in.
dication that the boycott is breaking.
A number of dealers have notified the
railroad company that they would trade
with it, and that it need send no more
orders to Chicago. Merchants are said
to be preparing to institute boycott
counter to that of the strikers, by refus-
ing to sell to small dealers who will not
agree to dispose of their goods to all
comers, regardless of their affiliations.
Meanwhile business in all branches is
paralyzed, and the cars of the street
railway are only meagerly patronized,

Opposed to Use of the Army

Would Compel Antagonists to

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The first ses.
sion of the eighth annual convention Of
state railroad commissioners was held
during the day. There were about %
members present, representing the states
Of Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Mis-
souri,, North Carolina, North Dakota,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and
Virginia. Simeon r. Billings of Mich.
igan, chairman of the convention, pre-
sided. Papers prepared by President
Stickney of the Chicago Great Western
and w. p. Clough Of the Great North
ern, relating to questions of interest to
railroad men, were read. The report of
the committee on the protection of pub
lie interests during labor contests
Condemns the Use of the Army
In such emergencies, as it does also the
INDUCTION. the weapon which was used
SO effectively during the Chicago rail-
way strikes, as impracticable and often
sive to the genius and spirit of the
American people and permissible only
when better and milder measures have
failed. Arbitration is regarded as the
only safe and satisfactory method Of
healing the difficulties that arise be-
tween railroad companies and their en-
ployes. The report therefore recon-
mends legislation that shall compel the
antagonists to submit to mediation and
fair settlement of mutual grievances.

Deadlock Over Election OF Bishops Broken
in the Methodist Conference.
CLEVELAND, May 20.--The deadlock
in the Methodist Episcopal general con-
ference over the election of two bishops
was broken by the selection of DIR.
Charles @. McCabe Of New York and
DR.. Earl Cranston of Cincinnati. It
was apparent whesi the delegates as
sembled that they were tired of the bal
loting and were determined to bring
matters to an issue. The ball was set
rolling by Rev. @. l.. Stafford Of Iowa,
who moved that the election Of bishops
be postponed indefinitely. This pre-
cipitated a lively discussion and the mo-
tion was defeated. Then DR.. A. b.
Leonard of Cincinnati moved that in
future ballots the name of no candidate
be announced who
Received Less Than Ten Votes.
That motion carried and it smashed the
deadlock. On the 14th ballot Mr.. Nc
Cabe's vote jumped from 100 to 258,
and DR.. Cranston's from 245 to 261.
That indicated clearly who the leaders
were, and ON the 10Th ballot DR.. Nc
cabe's vote rose to 344, or more
than were needed to elect, while DR..
Cranston polled 32S. The next ballot
gave the victory to DIR. Cranston, and
the West and East had both elected
their candidates.

WICHITA, Kan, May 20.--A cyclone
passed over the town of Rooka, 20 miles
south of here, but owing to the fact that
communication is cut off with that place
no details can be ascertained. Five Of
the houses of little village are known
to have been demolished and 10 persons
reported injured, but how badly is not
known. The supposition is that great
damage was done To the farmers along
its route. The cyclone was plainly Wis
ible from the town of Douglas, and re-
ports from there indicate that it was a
very bad one.
