DISASTROUS FLOOD.
GREAT LOSS OF LIFE AND
PROPERTY.
A Wall of Water Eight Feet High Sweeps
Through Guthrie, Okla, with Great
Loss of Life and Property
Farms Washed Away.

Guthrie, o. T., April 29-For miles
tonight the Canadian valley is dreary
waste, and her people are overcast
with gloom.
AT sunrise this morning mighty
wall of water from six to eight feet
high and mile wide broke upon west
Guthrie without warning, crushing
houses, sweeping away property and
drowning people by the score
Every movable thing was swept be-
fore the wave which passed on into
the valley with resistless force, wreal<
ing terrible destruction to life and
property wherever it reached
Dozens of human lives are known to
have been sacrificed, how many may
not be known for weeks; hundreds of
houses were wrecked in the twinkling
of an eye.
For miles farms were completely
ruined, bridges and tracks were wash
cd out, and railway traffic in every di-
rection is left at standstill. The
most complete chaos has prevailed all
day. The efforts of rescuing parties
have in many cases proven in vain.
Many people fioated down stream be-
fore they could be reached and their
( te is unknown. Others will pass the
night in trees in midstream or perched
Oh house tops.
1t is impossible to estimate the dead.
The property loss is placed at some
ting near 81, 900, 900.
The flood is suppose ed to have been
caused by cloudburst, supplemented
by heavy rains Persons who saw the
! first fall of water said that it was
about eighteen inches high, spreading
entirely across the valley. There was
no water in front of it save that in the
rivers channel. The first wave was
followed by others in quick succession,
until the whole swelled into bank of
water from six to eight feet high.
Many people had already begun car
rying their household goods to places
of safety, but few made more than one
trip when they were forced to flee for
their lives before raging, resistless
torrent that no power of man coula
h pc to stay.

DEAD ONLY TWENTY.
But the Property Loss WIN Exceed First
Estimates.


Guthrie, Okla, April 30.-The loss
of life by the food which swept
through South Guthrie yesterday is
not as great as was expected. All day
parties have been rescued more dead
than alive from places of danger, who
had been counted lost. Some were
taken from trees, tops of submerged
houses, high knolls, etc, where they
had been carried by the flood. The list
of known dead is twenty, and may yet
be increased.
The property loss is enormous. In
Guthrie one hundred and fifty houses
were totally destroyed and carried
away. many more sustaining heavy
damages. More than l, 800 people are
homeless in the valley. In the flooded
portions of the town large trees were
up-rooted and carried away Growing
crops were washed out and all loose
soil, as deep as ploughed, either car
ried away or piled in great ridges
whereoven an eddy might form.
Property loss will exceed first esti-
mates and may reach $2,0O0,00o. Re-
lief is coming in from all sources, and
the needy are being provided for.

Washington, May 2-The senate win
resume business in earnest Monday.
and the. week bids fair to be one of
important results. According to agree
ment vote will be taken on the arbi-
tration treaty on Wednesday. 1t is also
quite probable that the committee va
cancies will be filled and that the tariff
bill will be reported to the senate.
For the rest senator Morgan prob

the sundry civil appropriation bill may
be passed and Senator Hoar has given
notice that he will move to have the
committee on rules discharged from
the further consideration of his amend
ment to the rules for the limitation of
debate.
There is great uncertainty as to the
fate of the treaty. and it now looks as
if the margin would not exceed two
or three votes, whatever the result
may be.
There are few unascertained votes
which will decide the result. A can
vass made yesterday shows 40 votes
certain for the treaty and IS against it.
There will be considerable sparring
over the treaty before the vote is
taken, but prolonged debate is not
expected.
The programme in the house will be
to continue its policy of adiourning to
await action by the senate.

NEvADA'S SENATOR.

Report the Tariff Bill to the Senate.


Chicago. April 30.-The Posts Wash

Nevada, who holds the balance of pow
er, has joined with the Democratic
members of the finance committee in
objecting to report the tariff bin di-
rect to the senate as framed by the
republican members.
This movement is a disappointment
to the Republican senators, and to this
administration. The bill will have to
be reported to the full committee, and
the Democratic members of the com
mitee say that while they do not in
tend to obstruct the measure they pro-
pose to take time for its careful CON
sideration before permitting it to come
before the senate. The Democrats re-
fuse to let the Republicans name a
date for reporting the bill, and say it
may be held in committee for three
or four weeks. The chances for the
early passage of the bill are diminish
ing, and it may be August before it
goes to the president.

hours interview today with the Tur-
kish ambassador. 1t is understood that
the subject under discussion was the
terms upon which the powers are to
base their intervention between Greece

The Daily News correspondent at
Paris says that NJ. Hanotaux, in the
course of the conference, urged the
Turkish ambassador to advise the sui
tan to hold out the olive branch to
Greece, and if the Turkish troops went
further, France would be compelled to
come forward as the defendant of the
Christian cause. In that event, said
Mr.. Hanotaux, Turkey would have the
most reason to regret the intervention
of the powers, which would not serve
as a prop for the Ottoman empire, 1t
| is understood that NJ HanotouX ex-
pressed the earnest hope that the Tur-
/ kish government would not make the
serious mistake of increasing the diff
culties of the task of Europe.

Selection of Pullets.-A writer in an

young pullets, bear in mind that any
lack of vigor in them while they are
small is evidence that they will not
be hardy when fully matured. Hardf-
ness is everything with flock, for IL
any OF the old or young stock cannot
pass through the warmer seasons of
the year with perfect freedom from
disease, they will not prove profitable
as layers next winter. The getting of
eggs from the hens during the cold

mer and fall.
