FORTY LIVES LOST.

Perished in the Swollen Streams of
South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska
Sioux City, Ia, April 13.-Forty
lives at least have been lost in the
foods in South Dakota, Iowa and Ne
braska. Two persons are known to be
lost on the Floyd. three have been
drowned on the Big Sioux, two on the
Missouri and two on the Coon river, all
in the immediate vicinity. Similar
cases are being reported daily from
points farther away and sharp watch
is kept by the authorities for floaters
in the Missouri.
Many people are missing, of whose
death their friends have no positive in
formation. Most of them have proba
bly, been carried down the Missouri,
and their bodies probably will never be
recovered.
The bodies of two more victims were
brought into Sioux City last evening,
Danford Magee and Harry Flavill, who
were drowned while attempting to ford
the Elkhorn, in Nebraska. There has
been general fall in all streams in the
locality,

NIailcarriers A-wheeI.

Oakland, Cal, April 12.-The post
office at Fifteenth and Broadway will
soon be headquarters for the most con-
siderable and energetic cycling club in
the city, for the mailcarriers are to ride
wheels.
The equipping with wheels of Oak
lands mail delivery service means
more than would appear at first. 1t
means possibly another collection and
distribution of mail matter each day,
and consequent improvement of the
general service. The hours of each car
rier will be shortened and he will be
supposed to make good time.
1t is possible that the territories of
the men will be extended, but this does
not mean cutting down in service,
rather an enlargement, as the post
master would be enabled to extend his
routes and reach much further from the
heart of the city.

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT
Average Condition of the wheat Crop
Below Last Years.

Washington, April l3.-The report
of the department of agriculture for
April makes the average condition of
winter wheat s1.4, against 99.5 on
December l, I'll last April and 80. 8
at the same date in 1895. Leading
winter wheat states show as follows:
Pennsylvania, 9s; Ohio, Ss; Michi-
gan, SO; Indiana, SO; Illinois, 40; Mis-
souri,, so; Kansas, so; California, 80.
The average rye condition was 49, 9,
against S2e last year.
The condition of the soil at the time
of seeding was generally favorable
throughout the country, few scattered
counties reporting it too dry or too wet,
so that by December crop nearly up
to the standard was indicated. The
falling off since December was greatest
in Illinois, but was strongly shown in
every neighboring state. The average
of g per cent for the whole country is
due to the sharp freezes of early winter.
Snow covering was ample in the Rocky
mountains states and westward, but
elsewhere to the East it was scanty.
There was little damage along the At
lantic slope, where the winter was mild
and the favorable indications continue,
no important wheat state showing a
condition under 90.
The condition of winter wheat is re-
ported below the average in Great Bri-
tain, France and Holland, because of
excessive rains, but favorable in Central
and Eastern Europe. In Southern
Russia there has been extensive re-
sowing, but the wet weather has so de-
layed field work in Western Europe
that the spring wheat area will be
greatly cut down, the shortage in
France alone being 73O, 900 pounds.

Piazza From Which He Was Speaking
FeII-InJuries Not Serious.
ST. Augustine. Fla, April l2.-Hon-
William Jennings Bryan was injured
here this evening by the caving in of
the piazza from which he was speaking.
Nearly 400 men and women were pre-
cipitated about twenty feet to the
ground, and many of them were in
jured, but none fatally. Mr.. Bryan
was picked up unconscious, and re-
moved to physicians office, where an
examination revealed that he had re-
ceived no injuries of serious charac-
ter. 1t was deemed best, however. to
abandon the reception to have been
given this evening.
Mr.. Bryan arrived at $3.50 P. NJ,
and was greeted by several hundred
people. At $50 he addressed fully
5000 people from the piazza of the San
Marco hotel. At the close of the
speech hundreds of people flocked about
him, and the strain was SO great that
one section of the piazza forty feet
square fell through.

mite, on a Sandbar-

Hueneme, Cal, April Is. = The
steamer Yaquina, in approaching the
wharf here at 10 O'Clock today, struck
a sandbar, opening her seams. She be-
gan filling, and Immediately settled,
with only her deck above water. A
line was run ashore and efforts made to
beach her, but so far she has only been
hauled in short distance.
The Yaquina is loaded with 900 tons
of miscellaneous freight, including ten
tons of dynamite for Los Angeles The
weather is fine, but fears are felt that.
should the weather become at all bad,
the pounding of the ship may explode
the dynamite
At P. NJ. the Yaquina was lying in
about ten feet of water, on an almost
even keel, about sixty feet west of the
wharf, and 300 feet from shore. The
wind from the west is freshening At
high tide and with more wind she is
very apt to crash into the wharf. Some
thirty tons of freight have been landed,
but the work has now ceased, awaiting

Senator Voorhees, Dead.

Washington, April 13. - Daniel
Wolsey Voorhees,, ex-United States
senator from the state of Indiana, died
at O'Clock this morning at his home
in this city.
The senator had been in bad health
for several years, and for the two years
past had taken little part in the pro-
ceedings in the senate He has been
constant sufferer from rheumatism of
the heart, and his friends, therefore,
had come to expect that they might
hear of his death suddenly. The last
reports of him, however, were that he
was showing some signs of improve
ment, and his death, therefore, while
not entirely unexpected, caused
shock

Washington, April l2.-The navy
received today but one bid
in answer to an advertisement calling
for proposals for supplying 5000 tons
of armor for three battle-ships, the
Illinois, Wisconsin and Alabama, and
it was irregular in form. 1t came
from the Illinois Steel Company of Chi
eago, and proposed to supply 5000 tens
of armor at $3.50 ton, on condition it
be given a 20-year contract to supply
all naval armor. In such case the re-
mainder of the armor would be sup
piled at $240 a ton, the armor to be
paid for in gold COIN
An alternative proposition, conten
plated the erection of an armor plant
by the government and its supply with
steel by the Illinois company. No
awards were made, and the whole mat
ter will probably be referred to con-
