Ell, PASO.s Tex, May 28.-Over. 500
homeless families, or 1000 people, were
in the streets of Ell Paso this morning
searching for shelter. Their furniture
and clothing were piled up along the
principal thproughfares OF the city.
Last night the waters continued to rise,
and before day had dawned had reach
ed that portion Of the city In and
around San Antonio street, where
prominent business and professional
men reside. After II O'Clock last night
the flood swept over six more blocks.
The waters were full OF struggling
teams hauling out property from the
flooded houses. The Texas & Pacific
railroad had thrown up dyke to
protect its track near the roundhouse,
and this backed the water up over San
Antonio street, flooding a number of
houses and threatening to cross the
street and flood hundreds OF the pretti-
est residences in the city.
Six prominent citizens residing in the
vicinity, headed by Collector of Gus
toms Capt. Davis, armed themselves
with Winchesters and, crossing over
the railroad levee, cut the dyke, letting

of the Fifth cavalry from Fort Bliss
came down to the city today and offer
ed their services to guard property Of
homeless people which was piled in
streets. ~
The city board of health met this
morning and appointed a committee Of
six leading physicians to take charge
of relief hospital being esta ablished
for the homeless and sick and the phy-
sicians are taking them to the i'm
provised hospital. Col. Van -Valzah. of
Fort Bliss, loaned the city So tents and
the citizens committee were out today
with wagons gathering provisions and
distributing them among the destitute.
This morning the city council held q
meeting authorizing the. mayor to wire
Texas senators and representatives in
congress to secure an appropriation of
$4,000 for relief of the flood victims
The war department has also been ap-
pealed to for more tents. IS
The flood waters in Ell Paso and
East El Paso cover an area averaging
four miles long and three quarters of
mile wide flooding not less than 700
homes, most of which belonged to the
poor laboring classes.

TILLMAN RESOLUTION.
No Meeting of the Committee Yet
Called to Consider 1t.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Jones
Nev.) chairman of the committee on con-
tingent expenses of the senate, has not yet
called meeting of his committee for the
purpose of considering the Tillman reso.u-
ton making sensational charges in relation
to the sugar schedule of the tariff bill.
1t is believed to be probable that the resolu-
tion will be reported back to the senate and
that the senate will order an investigation.
There may be some delay on the part of
the committee on acting on the resolution,
but the presumption is that, If report is
not soon forthcoming, motion will be
made to discharge the committee and bring
the resolution before the senate. That would
mean direct vote, and it is believed probable
that on such proposition the senate would
vote to consider the resolution and order
the investigation. An effort to discourage an
inquiry Is being made and 1t is quite appar-
ent that many senators do not want any. but II
there is an insistence upon an Investigation
1t scarcely can be avoided. The declaration
of Senator AIdrich that the members OF the
subcommittee on finance courted the fullest s
investigation is regarded by some senator's
as a Challenge which must be made and
can be met only with an investigation.

STOLE A BAG ON HUTCH.
ST. Louis Hotel Clerk Too Willy for
Willie Bill.


When Willy Bill Hutchison came into Min
neapolis yesterday, he was shy some $500 Of
his good pay, which Frank R. Stewart, the
night clerk of the Lindell hotel, St. Louis,
had eloped with. That Is what delayed
Hutch's appearance in Minneapolis.
1t seems that Hutchison went to Chief
Clerk Lewis, of that hotel. Monday night,
with a Chicago draft for $500. Mr.. Lewis,
after some delay, succeeded in cashing the
draft, but Hutchison had gone off. Lewis
put the money in his pocket expecting that
the pitcher would come and get it any mo-
ment. Hutch didn't show up, and at 10
o'clock at night. Lewis put the money in the
safe and called the night clerks attention
to the matter. The next day. when the twirl-
clerk were gone. The hotel refuses to make
good the loss, claiming that Hutchison was
not guest, and that the clerk merely tried
to accommodate him in cashing the draft.
Hutch can't see it that way, however,
and has retained an attorney to begin pro-
ceedings II the money is not forthcoming.

THE OUTLOOK.
Ore Producers Nearer an Agreement Than
Ever
[From Iron Trade Review.l

Ore Producers Nearer an Agreement Than
[From Iron Trade Review.l
The meeting or the Bessemer Iron
Ore Association held in Cleveland last
Monday brought the ore producers
nearer to an agreement for 1897 than
they have been at any thine since the
conference began. Interests that had
announced one week previous that
they would wait but one week longer
before announcing prices and seeking
to make sales, were quite willing, in
view of the developments at Monday S
meeting, to adjourn again for eight
days, or until Tuesday, March 9. The
feeling Was that the committee APP
pointed to work meanwhile upon the
still-remaining problems would be
able to report a basis upon which
union would be possible. There is an
appreciation within the association,
at least, of the gravity of the situa-
tion that would be precipitated by a
disruption of the pool. The suffer
ings of the miners in 1894 are still
fresh in mind, and with another reck-
less scramble for orders regardless Of
getting back cost, such as was wit
messed in that season. labor would be
sure to suffer again. An open market
means the postponement OF buying by
furnacemen, to avail themselves of
the lowest price that may be reached,
and meantime the closing down of
many properties and further reduc-
ton of wages at those that continue.
There is no danger. in any event, that
such mistake will be made as that
of 1896, in putting the price above the
level warranted by conditions. If the
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1897-03-10

association continues, it has been
quite well demonstrated in the CON
ference thus far, THAT it will only be
on price basis enabling the indie
pendent furnaceman tomaintain him
self under the new conditions. But
the indications are, too, that the
species of Carnegie-phobia which has
been prevalent in some quarters will
not prevent the ore producers from
making due allowance for items OF
expense which even Il consuming COM
pany must incur when it becomes Il
miner of ore. III view of Mondays
meeting, it is fair TO reapeat what
was said week ago, that even
though the Mesabi range, outside of
the Carnegie-Oliyer properties, is not
ia the new agreement, there will still
DE an association OF old-range
producers.
The opening week Of the third
month OF the year brings no signifi-
can't developments from within the
iron trade: but the iron industry.
with all others, finds in the great
event of the week much to build
hopes upon. A new President, the
prompt passage of a tariff bill and the
advent Of the season in which bust
ness starts, make a. combination on
which expectations may we'll be built.
Conditions are such that no calcutta
tiOns need be made on a repetition of
the experience of 1895, when the iron
trade was exceptionally active, with
out a corresponding movement in
other industries. The influences that
will decide what 1897 is to be for iron
and steel will now be largely external.
One force, working from within, has
made large contribution to the
years business. And while it is
probable that the effects of the sweep
ing away of the billet and rail pools
have not yet been fully manifested,
the trade will now look rather to the
improvement of the general situation
for signs of betterment in iron. So
far there have been very faint indca-
tions OF the business naturally to be
expected in the wake of the rail
orders. Somewhat more activity in
cars is reported from Chicago and the
railroad supply trade has responded
measurably. while inquiry is growing
in an encouraging way. Chicago also
gives promise of a good tonnage of
structural work, chiefly or railroad
account. But in general, both as to
prices and volume. the business in
finished lines is thus far very unsatis-
factory. Bessemer iron and binets
