TEXAS FLOOD DISASTER WITHOUT A PARALLEL IN
 SOUTHERN TEXAS.
APPEALING FOR sUCCOR.
Congressman HaWley, Who is Now in Washington, Pictures
 the Situation.

Washington, July 12.-Represen- tative K. 5. Hawley, who is now in Washington, today made public the following statement with reference to the flood situation in that State:
 aThe disaster which has over taken the communities in Southern Texas is without parallel in our county. At some points the precip- itation was three and one half feet in six hours, resulting in flood Of enormous proportions, covering an area of many square miles to depth of from five to twenty feet and causing loss of from $25, 900, GOO 10 $40, GOO, 900.
 No less than twenty populous towns have been inundated, as well as those lands Of we'll. ll.established and well. ordered farms which today are in a complete state of jesolation. Practically every work animal, every mileh COW, together with all stock cattle and every Yesti9e of vegetation, have been swept away, leaving the country completely devasted. Within the influence of this awful disaster resided over 100, 900 people, almost half of whom are in state of helplessness today, except as they may De provided for by those who are generous and able U assist them.
 ''The whole State Of Texas is alive to the situation and is doing it's utmost to relieve the suffering. It is impossible, however, for the State alone within the time necessary to succor these people to come to their relief. When the great JohnstoWn flood occurred Pennsylvania could have easily taken care of their own if given time, but as time was then, as 1t is now, the essential factor. they were obliged to appeal to generous public in every part of the union and from every quarter the relief was immediate, on scale commensurate with the disaster.
 To this public the food district Of Texas appeals today to supply the necessaries of life until the horrors of tbe flood shall have pass- ed and the people shall be in a position to again address themselves to the task of re-establishing their homes.
 For this purpose it is urged through the press, the different commercial hodies and municipal authorities Of every city of the union that the appeal be answer ed.

The fact that each of said roads has a different board of directors shall not prevent the application of this rule.
 Rule 7-Twenty-five cents shall be the minimum charge on any package however small. on any railroad within the State.
 Rule s-Eo railroad company doing business in the State shall pernit blockade of any class of freights on account of any arrangements be- tween it and other railroad eonpan. ies as to the transportation of fir ight according to percentage OF ether wise.
 Rule 9-The freight rates sha3l be unif, rm to all and public. There shall be no secret reduction of rates, nor shall any bonus be given, or any rebate paid to aay person.
 Rule l0-W hen railroad companies are requiredato load or unload ship ments, the actual cost of such service shall be paid by shippers.
 Rule 22-A charge of n0 more than $2 per ear will be alloWel for switch ing or transferring Q ear from any point on any road to any connect ing road or warehouse within the space of four miles from the starting point without regard to it's weight or contents. When in the transfer Of a car between said points, it is neces- sary to pass over the lines of any intermediate road or roads. the maximum charge Of g. shall he di- yided eauitably between heroads at interest. When & charge is made for the transfer of loaded cars be- tween said points. no additional charge shall be made for the return Of empty cars.

of the Cincinnati, Price Current, received a
letter to-day from Andreas Kindsen, Copen-

DAVE sULLIVAN WHIPPED.
Knocked Out by Oscar Gardner in the
Seventeenth Round.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9-The fight between
Oscar Gardner, the Omaha Kid, and Dave
Sullivan, of Ireland, ended disastrously for
the latter in the seventeenth round before
the Lenox Athletic Club tonight Sullivan
seemed full of fight when the seventeenth
round opened and went right to his man.
In a clinch the legs of both boxers became
entangled and Sullivan fell to the floor The
moment he got up Gardner planted two
fearful rght-hand swings on Dawes head
and put the freshman down and out with a
wild left-hand swing which landed flush on
Sullivans' mouth All three of the blows
were delivered within ten seconds, and the
last one sent Sullivan into the Land Of Nod
for the first time in his ring career. Gard
ners' legs were in anything but good shape
but despite Sullivans efforts to make him
use them the Kid refused to be coaxed into
the sprinting ard saved himself for the su-
preme effort when the time arrived. Gard
ner waited frequently for Sullivan to go to
him and would either lead or get inside
Sullivan's leads and counter hard. These
tactics puzzled Sullivan, and at times rat
tied him so that he showed unmistakeable
signs Of having lost his temper Sullivan
was beaten fairly and squarely, and there
were no excuses made when the bout was
over.
If the attendance tonight can be taken as
an indication of that which will visit the big
arena TO witness the McCoy-Sharkey bout
tomorrow night, then a crowded house will
surely see the contest for the heavy weight
honors. From the moment that the doors
OF the clubhouse were thrown open tonight
a steady stream of patrons passed through
the turnstiles, and by the time the prelim-
mary bout was put on there were over 5000
people in the house. The men were billed
for a twenty-1ve-round bout at catch
weights Gardner said he weighed 12glb
pounds, and Sullivan's seconds said that
Dave was five pounds heavier. After the
men had donned the gloves the betting took
g turn in Gardners favor, 5000 being laiC
on him at leo to 50. They shook hands al
$50 o'clock.
No damage was done in the first round.
In the second Sullivan swung left TO the
head staggering Gardner. Dave followed
with a light left on the face and repeated
the blow Then Gardner drove his right 70
the body. Dave sent his left across TO the
head and swung his right to the jaw. Gard
ner broke ground and Sullivan went after
him, catching him over the kidneys with
his right In the third there was much
lighting at close quarters Hon0rs were
fairly divided in the next three rounds
Gardner seemed bit weak on his legs ia

Cuban army, who ascertained that two
members of the gang had been in Baracoa
during the day, but had left several hours
before. He Immediately started in pursuit,
sending small squads Of men out on each
road, himself heading one squad. He pur-
sued the gang for twenty-five miles over
the rough roads of that country and finally
caught the major and some of his men in
a house which the party surrounded. He
brought in the machete and spurs of the
late, major, whom he stated had been killed
while endeavoring to escape"
Speaking of the work OF the Cuban con-
stabulary of gendarmes, Mr.. Bond says:
They do a remarkable work. There are
about thirty of them in the Baracoa dis
trict. The whole country is filled with des-
perate characters, many of them former off,
GERS and members of the Cuban army, who
commit every outrage and are ready for
any sort CT deviltry. As soon as it becomes
known that a man is a desperate character,
or that he has been guilty Of any outrageous
offense. his name is placed upon the. black
list. This list is turned over by Colonel
Wiley to Captain Gallane, who proceeds to
hunt the criminal down. Usually a machete
and a pair of spurs are brought in by the
gendarmes as evidence that no further trou-
BILE may be expected from the parties under

Canned Meat to De Examined by the
Agricultural Department..

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Secretary Wilson
has directed Chemist Wiley. of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, to purchase canned
meat in the open market here the products
of the same concerns as furnished it to the
government during the war. and, after
identifying such purchases as the products
of the same parties that supplied army ex-
petitions, TO make analyses Of the cans con-
tents to determine if they were treated by
chemicals. This action on the part of Sec
rotary Wilson is wholly voluntary. The in
quiry is now in progress and prompt pub
licity will be given the results. Department
officials are confident that the beef as fur
nished under the contracts was wholesome
and pure. They say that the attacks made
on the beef, even if not sustained, will cost
the meat interests in this country an
amount equal to the cost of the entire war
and furnish material in the future for the
opposition of those countries which have
been all along fighting the admission of
American beef products. The secretary
saws there is no doubt that the discussion
of the allegations made will give a setback
to the negotiations that have been making
for years for removal of European restric-
lions on our products.
