eopticon views. Among other objects
of interest described were the temple of
Hathor the tombs of Abydos and the
Gizeh palace of Ishmael Pasha, The
interior of the temple of Hathor was
characterized as being dark, gloomy

yard of soil of the country contained
material to throw light on the past his
tory of Egypt.

Demand Return of Texas and Other States
at the Cannon's Mouth.


st. Louis, Mo-, March 5.-A special
from Guadalajara, Mexico, says that
almost warlike spirit is being aroused
among the people of Mexico by the
coming of Messrs. Bruce, Stone and
Pierce of Boston to enter into negotia-
tions with the Mexican government for
the return of the flags captured by the
Mexican troops during the war of 1S47.
The newspapers of the republic, led by
Ell National at the City of Mexico and
Ell Noticiero at Guadalajara, are in
dulging in very Incorporate language
regarding the visit of these gentlemen,
and they are denouncing America and
Americans in most incendiary language
going so far as to demand of the
United States, at the cannon's mouth,
If necessary, d return of all the terri
tory taken from Mexico
They specify California, Colorado,
Nevada, Utah. Arizona, New Mexico
and Texas as the property which has
been ''stolen from Mexico So strong
is the sentiment against Americans that
ladies are openly insulted in the streets

the offence, they are dragged off to Jail

Of cloudburst proportions, and all the
low lying parts Of the city were soon
under water. The river Des peres.,
which drains about twelve square miles

The river Des Peres, ordinarily eight

track, the Missouri Pacific, was above

crossing was carried away and two

the flooded district took refuge in the
tops of their houses. The police and
volunteers brought boats from Forest

tunates to high ground. This work
went on till daybreak, when the water
receded rapidly.
The loss will be enormous. Along the
Mill Creek valley, which bisects the
city into the northern and southern
divisions, the flow was too great to be

WEYLER IMPOSING PEACE.
Spanish Captain General on the Campaign
in Cuba.

Havana, March 5.-While at Rene
dios Captain General Weyler was inter-
viewed by a correspondent of La Lucha
of this city. General Weyler said among
other things:
Believe me, I pay no attention what
ever to what is said or murmured about
me by the newspapers here or outside
of Cuba. 1 have fixed and invariable
plan which / intend to follow with all
the tenacity of which I am capable,
and nothing will make me deviate from
that line of conduct.
My columns now are imposing peace
upon the muzzles of their guns. Moth
ing was heard of peace in the province
of Pinar del Rio, Havana or Matanzas
until I began operations on a great
scale, pressing, pursuing and corraling
the rebels on all sides. The same thing
will happen in the eastern provinces as
soon as begin operations in that part
Of the island.
All the local daily papers, in their
comments upon President McKinley's
inaugural address, express satisfaction
because of the fact that he did not al
lude to the Cuban question. This is
taken to indicate that he will adopt a
policy of abstention, leaving Spain to
settle her affairs alone.

Notes About the Coming Mill Between
COrbett and Fitzsimmons.

Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
Carson, New, March 5-The north
wester which blew up last night left the
highways as dry as a board. All the
pugilists were out on the road before
noon, and each of them worked out to
the satisfaction of the critics. The
chief interest centered about Corbett,
who had practically loafed for two
days. Jim threw on his sweater and
called out his dog, Together they ram
bled over the hills in the direction of
Empire.
After dinner Corbett juggled with the
wrist machine for quarter of an
hour before tackling the bag. He hook
ed the bag with his left continually for
ten minutes and punched it with vigor
with straight right and left for ten
minutes more. Hurrying over to the
court, he called out Pugilist Jeffries.
The latter is improving every day.
His orders We're to keep coming and
he followed them out, When Jim back
ed into a corner Jeffries invariably
caught it and a chorus Of "Oh's" went
up from the female spectators. Three
minutes of hard work left Jeffries puff
fing, but two little streams of perspira-
ton trickling down Corbett's cheeks
were the only evidence that he had been
working. His bellows We're operating
beautifully Corbett then had a bout
with Edgren. Edgren is very quick on
his feet but lacks experience He
flashes out his right as though he was
throwing 16-pound hammer, and be-
fore he regains his balance Jim puts in
a few on the body, and perhaps a tap
on the jaw.
Con McVey was roughly handled by
the champion in their wrestling bout,
which followed Edgrens round He
appeared to be perfectly helpless, and
Jim banged him up against the wall
time and again, humping his breast
hard meanwhile.
1t was Billy Woods, however, who il
lustrated the champions hitting power.
With his armor blown UP, Woods strut
ted out only to be pounced on like a
wildcat. Right and left, Jim suggad
bin on the jaw and when his guard
Went UP he caught it on the breast
with long-range, straight drives or
men went through four rounds of three
mindtes before Jim was satisfied Then
brother Joe and Al. Hampton played
him two games of handball each, after
which he called it a days work.
Titzsimmons took a morning walk
ard d rundown and put in two hours
in the afternoon wrestling with Roeber,
sparring with Hickey and Stenzler and
punch ing the bag. Very few spectators
paid admission to the gymnasium, and
altogether it was dull day around the
Ccrnishman's cottage
The Western Union Telegraph com
pany brought in two additional wires

ing their facilities to nine circuits, five
of which are quadruplex and two

Cyclone in Kentucky.

Louisville, KY, March 5.-A cyclone
did considerable damage in Central
Kentucky this morning. At Winches-
ter, several buildings were unroofed
and three new ones demolished. At
Mount Sterling the great McBrayer
distillery was unroofed. The Louisville
and Nashville round house at Rowland
was wrecked and property suffered Sc
verely at Stanford. Southern Indiana
was flooded last night by the heaviest
rain in years. The bridge on the
Evansville and Richmond, between
Bedford and Seymour, is washed out.
One train was wrecked by going
through a culvert.
Western Kentucky was also in the
storm path In Christian county a.
negro was killed by the blowing down
of barn and two others were prob
ably fatally injured. Near East Chris
tian a farmer was fatally injured by a
piece of flying timber.
Five railroads were cut off from
Louisville to-day by the heavy rains in
Indiana, Every line north of the Ohio
has trains scattered all over Indiana,
between Louisville, Chicago, st. Louis
and Cincinnati. There We're five wash
outs on the Pennsylvania, but they
were repaired by o'clock. The Big
Four has a washout near Bloomington.
The Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern
has three bad washouts.

IN THE MaRTs or TRADE.
New Administration and Extra Session 0
Congress Improve the Outlook.

Congress Improve the Outlook.
New York, March 5.-Bradstreets to-
morrow, March 6, will say:
The new administration the certainty
of an extra session of congress within
fortnight, and the promise of a new
tariff have done much to stimulate a
better feeling in trade circles and in
crease confidence.
Other favorable features are found in
the higher prices for commodities. Steel
mills are well filed with orders, and in
some lines are inclined to advance
prices. Confidence is expressed in an
early advance in prices for tin, and for
shoes and leather based on the activity
of hides.
General trade has been interfered
with by rain, high water in the Ohio
valley and snow in the northwestern
shipping wheat states. Better weather
in the south and southwest has prevail
ed. The merchandise movement is
equal to expectations. AT Chicago and
ST. Louis there has been a marked in
crease in the volume of purchases from
jobbers, both by interior merchants in
person and by mail orders.
No distinct improvement appears in
the condition of business in Canada
during the past week. AT st. John
heavy importations and active sales of
tea, more than double those Of last
year, are attributed to expected
changes in duties. At Halifax business
is not beyond the average. Quebec re-
ports fairly active business, especial
ly in shoe manufacturing. Montreal
notes caution in buying on account of
the prospect of tariff changes. Toronto
has fair wholesale trade, and some i'm
provement In groceries. Wholesale and
retail are slow at Winnipeg. Vancouver
reports improved trade, opening quite
brislxly in mining camps, and Victoria
reports trade about the same, with col
Iections up to the average.

to the second floor. A dozen children
were injured. Several churches were
badly damaged. Trees falling across
the railroad tracks have paralyzed

WRECK ON SHORE LINE ROAD.
Defective Air Brake the Alleged Cause
Brakeman TryOn Injured.


Guilford, March 5,-A bad freight
wreck occurred on the Shore Line di-
vision of the Consolidated road at 7:50
o'clock this evening near the station
here. An east-bound freight in charge
of Engineer Wetherell and Conductor
Maroney broke in two when the train
was approaching the station here. The
first section of the freight continued on,
the engineer not discovering that the
accident had occurred until the first
section was brought to a full stop at
the station, where the tank was being
refilled with water.
No sooner had the first part of the
train been brought to a stop than the
last section came rolling along and it
crashed into thefirst part of the freight.
The freight cars were loaded with oats
and grain, and four of them were
thrown off the track and smashed into
kindling wood One car rolled over
several times and landed in the front
yard of ]. E. Norton, near the railroad
depot.
Frank Tryon, a brakeman on the
train, was on the roof of the car, and
he was thrown from the car when it
jumped the track, landing in the street.
He was bruised somewhat and was
cared for in the village store. Tryon
belongs in Saybroo5
The road is completely blocked. A
wrecking train was sent for at New
Haven, and at o'clock the railroad
company had fifty men at work clear
ing up the wreck. In the meantime all
trains are blocked on both sides of the
wreck.
over two thousand bushels of oats
were thrown out on the tracks from
the wrecked cars. The force with which
the two sections of the train came to-
gether made a loud report and brought
out the townspeople to the scene of the
wreck.
The west-bound track was cleared at
11:25 p. m. The passenger train which
arrives at the Union depot, this city,
over the Shore Line road at 9:05 O'clock,
reached here two hours and fifty min
utes late. The east-bound track was
not cleared until long after midnight,
but the trains were run regularly both
east and west
