MADRID NAY NOT BE SAFE
Their Wives in the Unit
ed States.

Washington. d. c.. July 3.-There was
quite Il furry of interest in the Cuban
question in town last night when it be-
came known that Secretary Alger had in
timated to Capt. Taskar K. Bliss. who
will shortly go to Madrid as militsry at
tache to the American legation there
that it would be inadvisable to take Mrs
Bliss and her children with him because
Of the possibility of trouble Lieut.
George l.. Dyer. the naval attache, also
proposes to go to Madrid unaccompanied
by any member of his family.
These developments are generally ac-
capted as an indication that the admin
istratiOn expects more or less excitement
in Madrid during the coming autumn, or
as soon as Minister WoodfOrd shall have
had opportunity to present the demands
of this government to the Spanish court
While no one doubts that the Spanish
authorities Will do everything in their
power to repress any outbreak and to
protect the American representatives and
their families. the mission upon which
Gen. Woodford is going is so delicate and
hazardous that it is deemed the part of
wisdom to leave women and children be-
hind. at least till there shall have been
opportunity to measure the Spanish tenn

IMPORTANT RIVER DECISION.
Streams May be Diverted, Even Though
Lower Portions Are Affected.

Denver, Col, July "a special TO the
Times from Silver City. n. NJ, says that
Judge Bantz handed down the opinion OF
the court in the Rio Grande dam case
last night. The injunction was dissolved.
The following is syllabus of the opin-
ion:
1. Under the treaties with Mexico each
republic reserved all rights within Its own
territorial limits. This would have been
so upon principles of international law
without such reservation. Waters lying
wholly within the United States belong ex-
clusively to it and the soil within the
United States is not burdened with Il
serYitude in favor of Mexico in respect
TO any duty to so discharge the water as
to promote or preserve the nayigability Of
the Rio Grande.
. 1t is not the capacity of q stream to
float a log d rowboat which renders it Il
navigable river within the acts of Congress
0S90-92), but whether at regular periods of
sufficient duration and in it's regular CON
ditiOn its capacity is such as to be sus-
ceDtible of beneficial use as Il public high
way for commerce. The Rio Grande in
New Mexico is not a navigable river.
;. The power to control and regulate
the use of waters not navigable, exercised
by states and territories III the arid West
was confirmed by Congress by the act of
1866, and that power resides wholly
in such states and territories under the
act Of 1877 and subsequent ones, therefore
the diversion of such local waters is not a
violation of any act of Congress, even
though the navigable capacity at a distance
below may become thereby impaired

SOME SEVERE STORMS.
Heavy Rains Accompanied by High
Winds Do Damage in
Minnesota.

Brainerd, Mimi, July 3.-The most de-
structive rain that this locality has eX
perienced for years occurred last night.
In some places the rain partook of the
nature of Il cloudburst. The rain lasted
all night and all trains are blocked on
account of the numerous WaShouts, out
no wrecks have occurred. The long Dill
near the Northern Pacific shops is partly
cut out and the track hangs III ugly
shape. Just south of the city at Buffalo
Creek tb" stone culvert and several hun
cred feet of track is washed out and
further south are several other bad
places. Three big Washouts are reported
between here and Staples On the
Brainerd & Northern washouts are re-
ported at several places. Cellars are full
of water and many buildings have been
damaged greatly by having their founda-
tons undermined. In all directions dam
age to property and crops can be seen.
Carlton, Mimi, July "a disastrous
storm set in there yesterday and tor
rents of water fell necessarily during the
night, with vivid and continual flashes of
lightning for fifteen hours. Otter creek
has left its banks and overlooked the
town and hundreds of people are fleeing
to safer quarters. The st. Louis river
has risen twenty feet and sOlemnity is
added to the grandeur by the breaking
of boOms above. allowing millions of logs
to come crashing down the channel. All
railroad traffic is suspended and will not
be resumed for several days. Stage and
dray lines were plying between Cloquet
and Carlton, but the rapid rise of water
has stopped them. 1t is estimated that
the damage in this locality will reach
100000.
Minneapolis, Mimi. July 3.-A special
to the Journal from Princeton, Mimi.
states that tornado last night blew
down several buildings. Among them
was house occupied by Mrs. Brown
and five children. The woman was
slightly injured A dwelling tour miles
out from town was lifted from its foun
dation and set down in a neighboring pig
pen. One man was severely injured.
Crops and trees for a long distance were
ruined.
Duluth Mimi. July 3.-The worst
storm Duluth has ever known visited
here last night The rainfall broke all
records, being 400 inches. The storm
did great damage all over the city and i'll
the country around. Streets were
washed out pavements torn up and
houses in some cases have been looSed
from their foundations. All of the creeks
running through the city are raging tor
rents. Lester river ut the eastern end
has risen so feet Two or three small
bridges were carried out and the large
wagon and street railway bridge is in
danger of going. one of the big stone piers
being already carried out. Several small
houses on the lake shore at the mouth of
the river were carried out into the lake,
but the occupants escaped \ large num-

Knew His Wife.

A savage dog was shifting about
market-place in search of something to
eat. He came too close to a choleric
gardener from the suburbs and received
a kick. whereupon he fastened his teeth
in the leg of the kicker, greatly to that
persons CONSERVATION and the terror of
the assembled customers.
The wife of the gardener who was
assisting him in disposing of the stock
of vegetables on hand, did not lose her
presence of mind. She picked up a loose
stone and prepared to crush the animal
with it.

SPORTING NOTES,

Frank Graves, who has been umpiring
in the Western league for a few months,
has been signed as manager of the De-
troit club Allen has been deposed as
manager, but will continue to play short
and captain the team. Graves was for
meriy a catcher and later manager num-
Der of clubs in the Southern league and
won the championship twice.
Jimmy McAleer, who has been the star
fielder of the Cleveland club for the past
few years, has left the team and gone to
his home in Youngstown. He says he
brought out by the Milwaukee club in
80 when Harry Quin bought him from
the Southern league for $500. Later he
was sold to the Cleveland club.
In a match race at Denver between
Walter Sanger of Milwaukee and the trot-
ting horse, A1abatross, the former won.
Another race between the horse and
man will be arranged.
Bobby Gayle has been a failure as an
umpire and will De given his release. Gro
gan, a Detroit man, has been engaged.
McReynoIds and Carruthers, the cele-
worlds tandem records. They did the
third of a mile in "a 40; half in SO 3-5,
A quite sensational announcement
comes from Dayton, o., where Marty
Hogan has been guarding center field for
the Dayton men. It is to the effect that
National league managers have been
watching Marty work and that they have
concluded that he is fast enough for the
big organization with a little improve
ment in his batting. But that is just it.
With a little improvement in his batting
Marty would have been fast enough to
have held several jobs that are bygoncs
now.
A new honor has been thrust upon
Edna Wallace Hopper. She has been
othcIally elected mascot of the University
of Pennsylvania baseball team, and the
players have presented her dashing uni
form, with sweater and cap to match.
Mrs. HOpper's duties are not onerous.
1t is not necessary for her to attend
every game and root for the boys.
Her mascoting is done by telegraph or
proxy, and deal of vocal effort is there
by saved.
Fred Pfeffer has been turned adrift
by the Ch1cagos once more and the once
famous second baseman will have to look
elsewhere for job. It would not be
surprising to see Pfeffer with Manning's
team With Pfeffer's discharge from
Chicago goes one who has been con-
nected with the most glorious times of
Chicago's baseball history, and his pass
ing marks an epoch OF the game His
baseball future is uncertain, but he may
return to his old home, Louisville, to fin
ISL his baseball career. President Pull
liam knew nothing Of Pfeffer's release
until last night, and when told about it
badly hurt as to be out of the game for
weeks, and it is probable that Pfeffer
