Terrible Suffering at Many Points.

Terrible Suffering at Many Points.
The floods OF the Mississippi valley
and it's tributaries continues TO grow
apace. Millions OF dollars worth OF
property have been destroyed and mil
lions moro must be swept away before
the waters recede. Hundreds OF lives
have been sacrificed and at least three
hundred thousand people have BEEN
rendered homeless. The governors OF
Mississippi. Arkansas, Alabama, Ten
nessee. Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri,
Kansas, the Dakotas, Nebraska and
Minnesota are receiving funds for the
unfortunates in distress.
Secretary Of War Alger has forward
ed all the available tents in the de-
partment to the flooded districts, but
these will be inadequate. He has also
ordered the expenditure of $4,000 cash
to relieve the sufferings of homeless
citizens and their families. This Is the
first time that the war department has
ever felt called upon to spend cash to
relieve want outside of the regular ar

THE POLICE BALL GAME.

New Haven and Bridgeport Police Mines Will Try Conclusions at Savin Rock To- day.
 The baseball iends of the New Ha- wen and Bridgeport police forces will cross bats at the Savin Rock grounds this afternoon and one of the most in- teresting games of the season is expect ed. This is the second in the series of games arranged some time ago be- tween the two departments, the first of which was played in Bridgeport early this month and proved d big drawing card.
 The Bridgeporters will arrive in New Haven about 10 o'clock to-day and will go at once to Savin Rock by special cars. The game will start at o'clock sharp.
 It is expected the attendance will be the largest at any game in New Haven this summer since the last college game Already nearly 2,000 tickets have been sold The proceeds of the game will go to the New Haven Police Mutual Bene- fit association.

 The makeup of the New Haven team will be as follows: Sergeant Hayes, e; Doughan, p; Egan, 1b; Carey, 2b; Lau- tenbach, captain, 3b; St. Clair, ss; Con- nelly, If; Sergeant Doherty, cf Ser geant Dunn, If.
 There is some doubt as to whether or not Carey will play. He is a supernu- 1nerary, and the Bridgeporters offered some objection to his playing in the first game of the series. In case Carey does not play Sergeant Doherty will probably play second base and Law icy center field.

 Upon this occasion I invited General
 John B. Gordon. commander-in-chief of the Confederate Veterans, to ride
 with me, that all the world might see that the war was over. It was a source of great regret to us both that other engagements prevented his attendance. I also invited him to come to Buffalo and assist in the review of the clumn and speak at our camp-fres. I know you would have made him welcome. I know your broad American spirits would have given him warm recep- tion. But he could not come. He was engaged in work elsewhere.

Neither mercy nor quarter has he shown, and he has turned the Cuban struggle into a near approach to the campaign of Ava In Holland. Every day prisoners are exc cuted for the crime of rebellion, and before the final scene I hear, on the
