graph portraits of Senator Allison have
been hung in shop windows and posted
upon the dead walls of the town The
national committeeman will all be here
before the close of the week. All the

Kerens of Missouri Said to Have Been

"Kerens' friends declare that the OBJ
iect of his visit is to confer with Nc
Xinley's ieutenants throughout the
country who are to be assembled before
Hanna leaves for ST. Louis. The the
ory of the Filley men is chat Mckinley

HOUSE is MORE HOPEFUL
Leaders Believe Ad journment Possible by
Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, June S.-The house
managers have parliamentary ma
chinery in operation which will en-
able them to secure prompt action on
every proposition submitted by the con-
ferees on the five remaining appropria-
tion bills, looking to an adjustment of
the differences between the two houses.
Instead of adjourning Saturday night
the house took recess until 10 o'clock
Monday morning. That action enables
the house to vote on any proposition
after 90 minutes debate. The differ
ence between the houses on the four
supply bills (the sundry civil, naval, In
dian and District of Columbia) are rad
ical, but by mutual concessions the
house leaders believe the differences
can be adjusted SO as to permit an ad.
journment by Wednesday.

LUvERNE, Mimi, June 8.-The work
of the storm here is more serious than

horses, sheep and hogs were drowned
along the river bottom. The width Of

The water began to concentrate from
all directions, and at IL o'clock calls for
help could be heard along the river.
Rats were hurriedly prepared and
rescuing crew started after the perish
ing families who had sought refuge on
housetops and trees. The water rose sc
rapidly and the current became 80
strong that the rescuing crew were
Capsized Into the Water
and barely escaped with their own
lives. A second crew started out and
landed all safely on shore. Several
people have been reported drowned,
among them being j. w. Catterson of
Ash Greek, farm hand. Lightning

buildings were shattered. Hundreds Of
feet Of track have been washed away

no trains are expected for several days.
The losses are now estimated at 5000, 900.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 8.-Vigorous
efforts are being made here to get on a
14-round match between Corbett and
Tom Sharkey, the muscular sailor who
so far has whipped every man he has
gone against. 1t is reported that an
agreement has been reached whereby
Corbett will meet Sharkey in around

the sailor out, however, but stipulates
that if Sharkey is knocked out in four

at the end of the fourth round the re-
ceipts are to be divided between the
two, Corbett to receive the larger share.
