Industrial Crisis in Valparaiso.

VALPARAISO, CHILE, via Galveston,
Texas, July Is. There is a general fear
here that repetition of the bloody labor
riots of 1890, when scores of rioters were
shot down and killed by the police and
militia, is at hand
The situation is critical 1t was brought
about by the action of the Mayor of Val
paraiso in ordering one thousand workshops
closed, thereby throwing thousands of men
out of employment Unless something is
done Immediately to provide for the idle
thousands, serious trouble will result.
The authorities only quelled the riots of
1890 after great loss of life. The rioters
at that time looted scores of stores to OBJ
tain food and clothing, and the result was
the police and militia were called out to
put an end to the troubles Scores of idle
men were shot down and cut down in the
streets.

From the baltimore American of sunday.


a storm, which for intensity and the
amount of damage done in short time
dwarfs into insignifcance most of the storms
which have passed over the city in late
years, broke over Baltimore between three
and four O clock yesterday afternoon, and
while the damage was circumscribed and
chiefly confined to one section of the city
the northwestern-yet in the space of half
an hour thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty was destroyed and streets and road
ways badly washed
1t was peculiar storm in that it broke
after it was preceded an hour before by a
violent downpour of rain, which passed
away, leaving the atmosphere moist, muggy
and humid. Suddenly, toward the north
west dense masses of black clouds began to
gather, while from the southwest another
bank of clouds came swirling, until, as some
citizens described it, they appeared to meet
over Druid Hill Park, there was crash,
vortex created, and swirling round and
round veritabIe waterspout was presented.
A sound as of the rushing Of winds came
from this angry mass of matter, and sud
denly with the rising wind the downpour
commenced Some say it was cloud
burst. 1t looked like it, and those who
were compelled to be out were deluged in
stantly. Hats were swirled from heads,
umbrellas were wrenched from the hands
of those who carried them, trees We're up
rooted, roofs were partially blown from
houses, windows were smashed, and through
the streets torrents Of water rushed IN.
mighty volume, covering the surface several
feet deep, flooding houses and cellars.
In the Northwestern Annex many OF
the roadways were badly washed, while
curling in the city was destroyed. Light
ming ran into the power houses Of the city
railways, motors were burned out, cars
were flooded and almost washed from the
tracks, delaying travel until the storm had
subsidized
Forty nine of the city re-alarm boxes,
principally in the northwestern section,
were burned out, and workmen were en-
gagged for hours last night in repairing the
damage. Wires were cut and broken IN
many directions.
Although the storm apparently broke
over Druid Hill Park, and spent It's vio-
lence before it reached other sections of
the city it was, nevertheless, violent
enough everywhere. The torrents of wa
ter which fell in the short while the storm
lasted was phenomenal. The electrical
display was vivid, incessant, and the thun-
der rolled and ratified and crashed. One
little child described the lightning as of
.'the quick forky and long blazy kind.
1t came in quick flashes and broad blazes,
each kind accompanied by loud peals of
thunder
The rainfall during the storm was the
heaviest ever known in such short space
of time. Between B. % and 3.4S p. m.
the water fell in sheets, aud it was imposs-
ible to see any distance. Within the
twenty minutes one inch and quarter OF
water poured down upon the city.
The cellar Of story at 1906 Franklin
street became filled with water and the
pressure was so great that the floor was
forced up and all the goods were thrown
into the water, together with $50 in cash
in the drawer.

eoo.ooo,o 900 Pounds of Watermelon
From the Galveston News.

So far the 4, 800, 900 people of Texas
have enjoyed only three watermelons per
capita, but there are nine more per capita
coming. Just to think, grand old Texas
produces only about 10000, 900 water
melons, weighing in the aggregate only
500, 600, 600 pounds. Why, they could
be packed in 80, 900 cars and would make
only about 1000 trainloads. Our 30, :
900, 900, 600 cantaloupes will make up the
deficit, however.

Floods in the Connecticut.

WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn, July IS
The Connecticut River at this point is
higher today than at any time during the
present year. The water stands Is feet
above the normal height. Word comes
from Sufield that the crops were greatly
damaged by the heavy rains. Tobacco
especially suffered greatly, and it is esti-
mated that at least $50, 600 damage has
been done. In Windsor, it is reported
acres of young tobacco are under water.

Record Breaking.

Several railroads have been making
simultaneous efforts, recently, to break the
speed record. and all have succeeded.
July II, William H. Croker special
train, on the Central Pacific, beat all rec
ords on that line by running from Ogden
to Oakland, 833 miles, in % hours, and
on Friday following, his brother, George,
made the same trip in 20 hours p minutes.
On the same day train on the New York
Central, without previous preparation and
merely in an effort to make up lost time,
ran 149 miles in 143 minutes, including
the usual stops and slow-ups. On We'd
nesday the Reading Railways new fast
train to Atlantic City ran 5511 miles in 469
minutes, and part Of the distance, from
Hammonton to Elwood, O. miles, was
travelled in b minutes, or at the rate of
1O6 miles an hour. This run, also, was
made in the ordinary course of business
and without previous preparation. Taken
together, the events show the progress
that has been made in recent years in 10
comotives. road-bed and railroad methods,
and point to material increase in the
speed of trains, generally, in the near
future.

SELL OR HOLD YOUR WHEAT
Here are the Facts,

Macy & Pendleton, in their daily report,
speaking of the wheat prospect, say
Bears are not making much progress
in reducing prices by selling wheat and
farmers in the sections that have harvested
are not showing much anxiety to deliver
early. The English is now estimated be-
low the usual average The French crop
is known to be short enough, so that they
will require considerable foreign grain in
stead of exporting flour, and all the other
continental countries have no excuses
worth mentioning and all seem likely to
import their usual quantity of foreign
grain Argentine cannot deliver any grain
to speak of prior to the middle of January
and then only from a crop confessedly very
moderate. India is short and will not ex-
port. Under this present status Australia
is not likely to produce much grain for ex-
port. Russian shipments are very moder-
ate and the speculative feeling there holds
prices of the moderate stocks in store equal
to or above London and Liverpool parity.
1t begins to look as though the more wheat
American spectators sold short the more
they will have to margin and pay differen-
ces on.
