Estimates.
Guthrie, Okla, April 5o.--The loss
OF life by the food which swept
through South Guthrie yesterday Is
not as great as was expected. All day
parties have been rescued more dead
than alive from places Of danger, who
had been counted lost. Some were
taken from trees, tops Of submerged
houses, high knobs, etc, where they
had been carried by the food. The list
Of known dead is twenty, and may yet
be increased.
The property loss Is enormous. In
Guthrie one hundred and Fifty houses
were totally destroyed and carried
away, many more sustaining heavy
damages. More than 800 people are
homeless in the valley. In the flooded
portions OF the town large trees were
up.rootcd and carried away. Growing
crops were washed out and all loose
soil as deep as ploughed, either car
ricd away or piled in great ridges
whcreoyen an eddy might form.
Property loss will exceed first esti-
mates and may reach se,OOO,OOO. Re-
lief is coming in from all sources, and
the needy are being provided for.

SILVER WAS VICTORIOUS.
Yale Men Take White Metals Part
and Defeat Harvard.

Cambridge Mass, March 3O.-In San
der's theater representatives of Harvard
and Yale debated the money question.
and at the conclusion the judges awarded
the verdict to Yale. which represented the
negative side of the issue.
The theater was filled and the contest,
from an oratoricaI standpoint, was very
good. In all the debates in which Harv-
ard and Yale men have met, Yale has won
only once before. last years decision be-
ing for the New Haven men
The question for this years debate was
for Harvard to choose and Yale to select
the side il would take. Harvard proposed
the following:
Resolved, That the United States should
adopt definitely the single gold standard,
and should decline to enter a bimetaliic
league, even if Great Britain, France and
Germany should be willing to enter such
a league.
Yale chose the negative of the propo-
sition and this so pleased William J.
Bryan that when he was in New York
recently he conferred with some Yale men
and offered to lend the New Haven men
all his manuscript and other literature on
the subject.
Both the Harvard and Yale teams were
considered the best that the colleges had
ever sent to debate and the high expec-
tationS felt by students and faculty were
not disappointed.

Martin is minister of the gospel and
was so engaged when nominated for
congress two years ago. He is an ar
dent POpulist and, although never ac-
tive in party Organ1Zat tlOn, has proved
himself an excellent campaigner.
The old POpuliSt members, Bell of
Colorado, Simpson of Kansas, Howard
of Ala bama, ShufOrd of North Carolina
and StroWd of the same state, are all
to take more prominent place in this
congress than in the last one. He is
very active speaker, but was prevented
from activity in the Fifty-Fourth con-
gress by a long and dangerous illness.
Jehu Baker of Illinois, who was nomi-
mated by the PopulistS and indorsed by
the Democrats, voted for Bailey on the
ever, in full sympathy with the Popu-
lists of the house and says he belongs
to that organization Baker has had a
remarkable career. He was a Republi-
can until a few years ago and has sew
eral times been a member of congress.
He was elected just after the war from
the famous Morrison district both times
defeating the present president of the
interstate commerce commission. At
ter being out of congress for 20 years he
was again nominated by the Republi-
cans against Morrison in 1886 and by de-
feating the famous tariff refOrmer, ne
closed that gentlemanS s career in con-
greSS. Now once more, 10 years later,
he comes to congress is the representa-
tive of the Silver Republicans. He, as
before stated, intends to cooperate with
the Peoples party in congress. The old
gentleman is still vigorous, n0twith-
standing the weight of his rs years, and
has one of the finest faces in the house
of representa- tiVeS.
