cLoUDRURsT IN OKLAHOMA
Awful Devastation and Nearly 100 Dead
at Guthrie and I'll Reno.

Following quickly upon storm of
cyclon:c proportions, a mighty wall of
water six feet high and mile wide,
caused by a cloudburst, rushed upon
West Guthrie, Okla, with a frightful
roar, sweeping all before it with a
fury that was resistless. Death rode
rampant on the wave and scores of
people were whirled away by the mer-
ciless flood The number who lost
their lives will not be known for weeks
but it is thought that over go people
were drowned.
Every movable thing was swept be-
fore the deluge which passed on into
the valley with resistless force, wreak-
ing terrible destruction to life and
property wherever it reached. Hun
dreds of houses were wrecked: for
miles farms were completely ruined,
bridges and tracks were washed out,
and railway traffic in every direction
brought to a standstill.
1t is believed that great loss of life
has also occurred south of Guthrie.
along the Cottonwood river. Many
farm houses in that district are re-
ported to have been swept away.
At FL Reno the death list is not
large, but great amount of property
was destroyed.

THE 5srH CONGRESS AT WORK

SENATE--33d day-The free home
stead" bill was taken up and caused a
warm tilt between Senators Tillman,
of South Carolina, and Morgan, of Ala
bama. The bill releases settlers on
public lands acquired from Indians
from the payments now required by
law, and also gives free homesteads Oa
such lands not now occupied. IA
amendment was offered by Mr.. Nor
gan giving all public lands, not taken
up by homestead entry on Jan. 1, 1900,
to the several states and territories for
educational purposes. Mr.. Tillman in
sisted that, the Morgan proposition
meant that one class of states was to
gobble mp all the lands. The Morgan
resolution was later withdrawn. Mr..
Morgan also endeavored to secure a
vote on the Cuban resolution but &
was allowed to go over at the request
of Mr.. Hale, of Maine. The executive
session was devoted largely to the con-
sideration of the Anglo American ar
bitration treaty, it being brought up
by Senator Morgan who again an
nounced his opposition to the agree
ment. He spoke at length, maintain
ing that it was a mistake for this
country to enter into such an al
lance with Great Britain as was
involved in the ratification of the
treaty, even in it's amended form.
HoUsE-Mr. Simpson, of Kansas, made
another attack upon Speaker Reed be-
cause of the latter's policy of postpon-
ing the appointment of committees.
Mr.. Bailey, Democrat, of Texas, de-
nounced the attacks and Mr.. Dingley,
Republican, of Maine, tried to cut the
Kansas man off in his fiery speech, but
the latter continued and Mr.. Reed
finally challenged Mr.. Simpson to pro-
pose resolution instructing the
speaker to appoint The committees.
The Kansan evaded this challenge, but
Mr.. Lewis, a Democratic member from
Washington, took up the gauntlet and
moved the adoption of such a resou-
ton. When the vote was taken the
speaker was sustained by practically
the solid vote of his party, assisted by
80 Democrats under the leadership of
Mr.. Bailey. The resolution was de-
feated, yeas So, nays 1@i, present and

Greeks Angry and May Depose the King.
Dispatches from Athens says that
the'reverses 10 the Greek army on the
frontier and the charges made by ex-
Premier Ralli of incompetence and
cowardice on the part of the army's
leaders have caused tremendous excite.
mept. Popular feeling points to a rev.
olution in favor of a republic and it is
openly declared that King George may
be deposed if not assassinated. Large
meetings were held in Constitution
square and other places, and fiery ha-
rangues delivered by well-known or
ators in denunciation of "those who
would betray Greece" The fall of the
ministry is regarded as certain. Over
500 men forced their way into the gun
smiths shops, armed themselves with
rifles and revolvers, and paraded the
streets. Numerous disorderly out
breaks also occurred at Piraeus, the
port of Athens The people invaded
the cafes and smashed portraits of the
king.
Cabinet CrisIs-New Ministry Formed.
The public clamor in Athens became
so strong that King George sent for
Premier Delyanis and after long con-
ference demanded his resignation
which was given on the spot. The OPP
position leaders were then called in
and the king entrusted them with the
formation of new cabinet which was
announced shortly afterward with NJ.
Rail- as premier and minister of ma
rine, and NJ. TsamavoS as minister of
war.
Demetrius Ralli, the new premier
was the leader of the opposition to the
retiring cabinet. He has been minis
ter of justice and minister of the in
terror and is widely known. AS soon
as the Legislative chamber approves
the new cabinet the premier and min
lister of war will start for Pharsala.
The public tension is much relieved
by the change of ministers and il is
internal disorder is removed.
Fighting Before PharsaIa.
Reports have been received of fierce
conflicts between the Greeks and Turks
at Velestino in which the Turks were
driven back. The main Turkish force
has advanced from Larissa and taken
positions before Pharsala and sew
eral sbirmishes have occurred. A
great battle is imminent. Volo
is in state of panic for
fear the Turks will take the city.
Crown Prince Constantine has visited
the Greek camps at Pharsala and in
spired confidence among the troops.
The Turkish magazines, with a large
amount of ammunition, at Phillipania
