a Scene off Dcsolation.

GUTHRIE, Okla, April 29.-Daylight
in the Cottonwood valley found dozens
OF people still clinging to trees or over
turned houses. Positions known to
have been occupied when darkness
came ON last night were empty this
morning and the conclusion was that
the luckless victims had dropped into
the river during the night, drowned
and their bodies swept down the
stream. For miles along the scene Of
devastation 1000 people, homeless,
half-ill from exposure and hungry,
passed a miserable night. In the in
terror of many houses are seen bloat
ed, unrecovered bodies while on the
tops of other houses and perched in the
trees are others still living, wet and
chilled, who stuck to their unsteady
perches the livelong night, some with
children in their arms, without sus.
tenance and without sleep. The water
has gone down somewhat and the
spectacle this morning was remark
able chaos of mud, wrecks and here
and there body left by the receding
water. 1t is believed that loss of life
has also occurred south of Guthrie,
along the Cottonwood river.
Great dcsolation prevails at Guthrie, Okla
homa by reason Of the floods. About %
persons are known to have lost their lives and
at least so are missing. Five hundred houses
have been destroyed and at least 1000 PEG
pls are without shelter.

THE sending of troops to Fairfax
Courthouse without the request of the
Judge, attorney, sheriff or any body
else, not only put the State to great
and totally unnecessary expense, but
was highly provocative of trouble and
of the loss of valuable lives. There
was no conceivable doubt of the guilt
of the prisoner, and theIpeople of that
community, like those of all others in
the South, have determined that the
best way to treat such offenders and
save them from prolonged and cruel
torture is to hang them as speedily as
possible. AS highly respected resi-
dent of Fairfax Courthouse told the
GAzETTE's Washington correspondent
to-day, the most reputable people OF
that neighborhood had become tired of
hung juries, in the ordinary course OF
proceeding, and had there been aD-
other one, the doors would have been
barred and the prisoner hanged from
the gallery of the courthouse before
the soldiers, who were outside, could
have forced an entrance, and if a res
cue had been attempted, the troops
would been the worse sufferers. Gov
ernor O'Ferrall is sadly lacking IN
Judgment, an essential quality for an
executive officer.

THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL 30, 1897.

THE constitution of Virginia provides
that the Governor shall have power to
call out State troops, "to repel invasion,
suppress instruction and enforce the
execution of the laws" Her code pro-
vides that "if any combination whether
for Remembering the State or estab-
fishing in any part of it separate gov
eminent, or for any other purpose,
shall become so powerful as to obstruct
in any part of the State the due execu-
ton of the laws thereof in the ordinary
course of proceeding, the Governor
NAV call forth the militia or any part
thereof to suppress such combination. :"
By neither, therefore, was Governor
O'Ferrall authorized or justified in
sending a company of soldiers from
Charlottesville to Fairfax Courthouse
yesterday. There was no combination
TO obstruct the due execution Of the
laws, and that the laws were being exc
cuted in the ordinary course of proceed
lug was made patent by the fact that
though the guilt of the negro was proved
by the testimony of the white woman
he had outraged, he had been allowed
two fair trials for the same offense, and
a third one was in progress when the
troops arrived, and in the ordinary
course of proceeding has since con-
victed him. If the Governor really be,
lieved there existed a combination to
obstruct the execution of the laws in
the ordinary course of proceeding, he
should have gone to Fairfax Court
house at the head of the troops he sent
there, instead of starting of with q
party of friends on pleasure excur-
sion to Chesapeake Bay, on board q
vessel belonging to and supported by
the State.

THE GREEKS ARE LOSING.

Such is the sense of insecurity at Ath-
ems that the legations have hoisted
their flags, private persons have placed
guards about their houses, and various
governments are hurrying warships TO
the Piraus to afford refuge and protec-
ton to their citizens in case of distur-
bance. There is rumor of intervention
by the powers, one scheme being to in
tervene after the Turks capture Volo.
But all such proposals will, of course,
be futile till the mob at Athens see that
the war with Turkey is hopeless. The
present disposition is to defy all the
powers and reject whatever they pro-
pose. In Epirus the Greeks are losing
ground. Defective arrangements for
the transportation Of supplies of food,
&C., are alleged to be the cause Of
failure. 1t is announced at Athens that
the appointment of new cabinet is

her own people were assaulted by the
Northern army, and it was in their de-
Tense that her cons rallied, and for SO
doing were shot to death and had their

The ELECTION of a republican U. s.
Senator from Kentucky yesterday had
been anticipated from the first by all
people we'll informed of the condition
there. Kentucky was carried for Nc
Kinley last year by union OF the
republicans, boilers and negroes of that
State, supplemented by large donations
from Mr.. Hanna's corruption fund, and
as that fund was so large that some OF
it was left for use at Senatorial cleo
tions in order that those who contrib
uted to it should be allowed to recon-
by means of a higher tariff, and as the
boilers naturally hate democrats more
than they do even republicans or n'-
groes, that Mr.. Deboe, high tariff,
goldite republican, will occupy the seat
that Senator Blackburn filled in the
last Congress and that Henry Clay
formerly did, is only what might have
been, and was. expected.
