n perfect chorus of nays Mr.. Cannon
during the course of the day announced

Spain cannot scare up an ally in
all of Europe. Thanks to the great
American plan. mo entangling alli-
ances with European powers" Had
this policy been forgotten and the un-
patriotic Bayard had successfully ne
gotiated an alliance with England we
would not now have a friend in Eu-
rope. AS it happily is. they are all
our friends-all except poor old Spain.
European friendship is more marked in
the case of Russia. France and Ger
many, than in England. We are Eng
lands commercial rivals; we are the
commercial allies Of all other nations.
Neither does the Anglo-Saxon blood
preponderate among us; it is only an
element OF that which goes to make up
the real American. Germany and Ire
land are perhaps to a larger extent the
mother country than is England. 1t is
therefore not likely that there will ever
be an alliance with any European
eountry-Ergland especially.

That baby's lungs are quite intact,
Howeer his heart is broken.
For then the baby's voice was raised
As If he couldn't stop It.;
But pretty soon there comes a lull
In which he'd all but drop it.
"hat rouses him to roar again
With energies redoubled,
Altho' he's quite forgot the grief
By which his heart was troubled.
Monotonous cen to himself.
The baby's bawls are growing;
But, having started in to cry,
He's bound to keep 1t going.

At the annual banquet Of New York's
Sons of the American Revolution the
other night, Ferd w. Peck Of Chicago
presented the plan which has already
received the sanction of the president
and the senate for raising a fund OF
S250.0O0 by contribution from the
school children Of the United States
to erect an appropriate monument in
Paris to the Marquis de Lafayette.
President Mckinley has consented to
serve as chairman of a national COM
nittee to be composed of the COVER

has already passed and the house will
probably adopt a resolution authoriz-
ing it's appointment, under whose au-

presented themselves in the process of

William Olmsted, who died recent

decided to get even with them by leav-

of small farm to his wife, to the ia

goo PEOPLE DROWNED.
The Raging Ohio Burst Through Levee
at Shawneetown, Ill.

at Shawneetown, Ill.
Girard, H., reports a message from
Shawneetown that the levee above the
city broke and the city is inundated.
The water backed up for five miles and
rushed down upon the city like tidal
wave. After the message was received
telephone and telegraph communica-
ton with Shawneetown was suddenly
cut off. II is rumored that over 200
lives were lost.
Dispatches from Mt. Vernon, Ind,
about 30 miles from Shawneetown, and
other points Whereabouts confirm the
first reports.
Shawneetown is a city of 1000 in
habitants on the Ohio river, and is sit
uated in valley of extremely low
land, with hills slSirting it in the rear
and with 25-foot levee in front, run
ming from hill to hill. The town is
very much in the position of fortified
city, and when the levee gave way
mile above the town under the pres
sure of the very high river, the water
shot through 2O-foot opening and
struck the place like hurricane,
sweeping everything before it. The
streets were parallel with the river,
the principal business street being but
two blocks distant from the water.
The level of the river is about 10 feet
above the city and the levee bank is
about 20 feet thick.
1t was known that a slight break
had been made in the levee, but as it
was built by the government and was
regarded as impregnable. the people
had not feared serious food. When
the flood broke through like a tidal
wave houses were turned and tossed
about like boxes. The people who
were at home sought refuge in
the second stories and on house tops.
Those in the streets were carried be-
fore the avalanche of water and
probably n majority were drowned.
Citizens went from the place by skiffs
TO telephone several miles away and
asked aid from Evansville. They said
that more than 200 people had been
drowned. and they had reason TO be-
lieve that it would reach 500 or even
! 900 The water stands from 20 TO 30
feet all over the town. 1t is reported
that the flood now extends four miles
inland. and people are fleeing for their
lives from the lowland hamlets.

On one corner of a Chicago street
intersection myriads of workmen are
at work building one of the grandest
edifices in the world. Several blocks
farther down firemen are hopelessly
striving to extinguish the flames that
are rapidly consuming another great
building. Thousands of frenzied peo-
pie are striving to get a glimpse of the
great walls as they crumble and fall
and then a mighty cheer goes up. Queer
isn't it all. A scene of destruction at
tracts the multitudes, while the erec-
tion of a building that is triumph of
the century scarcely attracts notice.
