SWOLLEN By RAINS.

The Potomac River is Rising, but No
Damage Is Anticipated in This City.
All along the line of the upper Potomac
the water is rising, and while there has
been rise Of more than fifteen feet at Han
cock, no damage is expected here. The
rapid rise in the river below Cumberland is
due, of course, to the heavy rains sending
volumes of water from several big creeks
and branches which empty in the river.
The tracks of the south branch division of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad are sub
merged, and one of the bridges Is weighted
with cars to prevent its being swept away.
At several points on this branch. the tracks
are under water. Reports from Harper s
Ferry last night indicated a rise of about
one and one-half inches an hour. Both the
Shenandoah and Potomac rivers were ter
ribly swollen last night, and 1t was feared
that the tracks of the Shenandoah Valley
railroad would be submerged by this morn
ing, but they were still above the water
at O'Clock. 1t was thought, however, that
the water was still rising. So high is the
flood at some places that fields are covered
and the water and large quantities of drift
wood are doing a great amount Of damage
to growing crops. The rise in the river at
Wiiliamsport, reached its highest point yes
terday afternoon. Both above and below
the town the water overfiowed the banks,
inundating the lowlands. Rain ceased fall
ing there Thursday night No report from
this place has been received here today
While the water is above the high water
mark today. rivermen along the river front
do not anticipate any trouble. Last night
the Georgetown police were notified by the
canal people and officers at the aqueduct
office of the rise at Harper's Ferry, and
while no danger to property here was an
ticipated, people along the river front were
notified of the change in the condition Of
the river.

PROTECTING NATIONAL PARKS.
Report of Acting Superintendent
Zeveiy.

Report of Acting Superintendent
Zeveiy.
The Secretary Of the Interior has receiy-
ed report from Acting Superintendent
Zevely, stationed in California, to protect
the national parks from trespassing sheep
herds. Mr.. Zevely has finished his portion
of the work. and Troop A, Utah Cavalry,
has been detailed to patrol the parks. He
says that 10000 sleep have been elected,
fifty-five bands in all. from Yosemite Park,
and it is thought that the work has been
as successful in the General Grant and Sc
quota Parks. The herds had been SO long
in Yosemite Park that nearly all the grass
and other forage had been destroyed.
Some CONFUSION exists in California in
regard to the action and Intentions of the
Interior Department., and it is desired that
1t be distinctly understood that no animals,
under any circumstances, will be permit
ted to Craze upon the public reservations,
and that all measures necessary will tie
taken to keep the parks free from them.
Only those persons who have patented
lands will be permitted to Craze cattle, and
before this Is allowed the metes ana
bounds of the patented lands must be def
niteiy ascertained and marked. This rule
was made necessary by the fact that a
rumber OF persons own or lease small
tracts of patented lands In the vicinity of
the parks, and while pretending to Craze
their sheep and cattle upon them, make no
effort whatever to prevent them from tres
passing upon the reservations. No action
has been taken against the persons elected,
but Mr.. Zevey says that he will be ready
to supply witnesses If 1t is decided to prose-
cute them. 49,

AT BELMAR.

sronial r,rrnsron.ionns Of The Evening


BELMAR, N. j., August IL. 1898.
The season at this spot, which marks the
place where Shark river empties into the
ocean, has never been so merry. The
present state of prosperity is all the more
agreeable on account of its unexpectedness.
Early in the summer the prospects pointed
toward anything but good season. Hotel
proprietors kept hard at work, and now
they are reaping their rewards in the form
of weil-hlled houses. The success OF the
big Hotel Columbia is almost phenomenal
This year Proprietor NJ. Lindsay opened up
the season with an entire new story, con-
tanning nearly 100 extra rooms, and during
the early part of the week nearly every
room in this big house was occupied
Nearly every one interested in Belmars
season attributes much of the general pros
perity to Proprietor Lindsay's management
of the Columbia, which is open at all times
to the cottagers and guests. Indeed, there
is not dance or entertainment to which
the majority of the members of the cot
tage colony are not invited. As the result
the ladies of the Columbia, assisted by
some of the cottagers, will tender Miss
Lindsay reception in the drawing rooms
of the hotel next Tuesday afternoon. The
entertainment for the benefit of the Red
Cross at the Columbia is one of the pref
tiest ever given in Belmar. The young
people of the hotel entered heartily in the
spirit of the event and nearly $500 was
raised. All of the tableauX were very clev-
erly presented, and Miss McElroy's recita-
ton was specially pleasing. Many of the
soldiers from Sea Girt were present under
the command of Colonel Smith. On Tues
day night they returned with two full brass
bands and serenaded the guests. The pro-
prietor served a supper for them at 10
o'clock.
The dove german given last month was
such a pleasant feature that it was re-
peated Wednesday morning. The young
women assembled in the ball room and were
about to begin when four strange creatures
appeared and insisted Upon taking part
After considerable excitement the conster-
nation of the ladies turned TO merriment.
for it was discovered that they wers four of
the gentleman guests arrayed in women's
clothing and wigs They were Messrs.
Clarence Morrall, P. B. Morrison, Ray Lef-
ferts and F. Ward. Thay Joined in the
oance, and the dove german was a huge
success after all

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, July .26.-The
delegates to the convention to form con-
stitution for the states of Salvador, Hon.
duras and Nicaragua continue their ses-
sions here almost daily. The work, how
ever. is progressing slowly. The delegates
have discussed the first eleven of the ar
tic,es, numbering about fifty-five, and have
decided on the following principal features:
/. The organization is to be a confed-
eracy, instead of a central union of the
three states.
2 The name of the confederation is to
be THE United States of Central America
3. There is to be federal district. COM
posed of the civil departments of Gilman
daSa, in Nicaragua; Choluteca, in Hon.
auras. and LanDfon, in Salvador, all bor-
dering Oh the Gulf Of Fonssca.
4. The organizing capital is to be ANA
Choluteca, Honduras. The permanent cap
ital is to be determined by the first con-
gress, and will be located at either ANA
pala. Choluteca or Chinendega.
to) There is to be one president, instead
of a triple-headed tribune, as at first pro-
Icsed.
In 4 recent session, delegates from Saliva
dor protested against what they termed "a
spirit Of antagonisn to Salvador in some
speeches made by certain delegates from
Nicaragua.
1t is thought probable that either Presi-

laya of Nicaragua will be chosen the

CUP CHALLENGER PLEASED.
Sir Thomas Upton Did Not Expect
Such Prompt Acceptance.


LONDON, August 12-When Sir Thomas
Upton received from a representative Of
the Associated Press news Of the accept
ance by the New York Yacht Club of his
challenge, through the Royal Ulster Yacht
Club. for the Americas cup, he expressed
delight at the promptness of the action
taken and said:
Il expected they would deal with the
challenge in business-like way, but 1 did
not expect they would be SO prompt. l
know l shall be fairly treated in New
York / would be on the Clyde. l am
certain the boat which wins will be the
best boat. Fife starts for New York in a
few days, taking the dimensions of the
Shamrock to hand to the committee of the
New York Yacht Club. All L can say is
that she will be a 90-footer and of about
the dimensions of the Valkyrie."
According to current rumor the "Cowes
faction" Is angry at Sir Thomas Upton for
challenging. The members of that faction
think Lord Dunraven should have been
consulted, and that ne should have received
an apology from the United States before
another challenge was sent. This fac
tion," however, is not likely to have much
weight among yachting men here, as it is
known the Prince of Wales does not share
that view of the case, but approves of the
action taken by Sir Thomas Upton.
