Awful Results of the Flood.
ThrOughoutl Texas.


AUSTIN, Tex. July s.-Gov. Sayers
stated tonight to an Associated Press
correspondent that, Judging from all the
reports he had received officially from
the flooded district, there had been great
loss Of property, both personal and cor
porate, that hundreds of people had been
bereft of their homes and belongings, and
that at present there were IN the neigh
borhood of $4,000 people, the majority Of
them being negroes, who were dependent
entirely upon public. charity for susie
nance. The suffering of water-bound ref
ugees has been very great. The loss of
life has been comparatively small not
exceeding fifty persons.
The heaviest farming losses will fall
upon the owners of the big plantations
in the bottoms, who have lost all their
crops, and much of their personal prop
erty and are not being protected in the
distribution Of charity which is being
expended only among the poor.
Up to tonight Gov. Sayers has received
$4,000 in money contributions from this
state and from the East. In addition
thereto he has sent out several carloads
Of groceries, which have been donated
by different cities of the state.
The situation is being we'll handled
now, and the governor stated tonight
that by tomorrow every hungry mouth
In Texas would be looked after.
The waters are fast subsiding, and Gov.
Sayers is confident that ne will be able
to care for the poor of the state for at
least a week, after which time they can
secure employment in the wrecked val

VENDETTA IN IOWA.
Trouble Likely to Grow Out of the
killing of Canerer.

Killing of Camerer.
SIOUX CITY, To-, July S.-A vendetta
seems likely to grow out of the killing of
John Camerer, of Browns Lake, this
county. Camerer's slayer, Albert John
son, is in Jail here, and his father and
mother have also taken refuge with the
authorities in Sioux City in anticipation
of an attempt at revenge by the dead
mans relatives. Young Johnson is sure
to be released soon, however, and he
and his parents can hardly afford to re-
main long away from their farm at
Browns Lake. When they return there
Is little likelihood that trouble can be
avoided.
The Camerers and Johnsons were
-neighboring farmers and have had con-
siderable trouble over a line of fence
Thursday afternoon Camerer went to his
neighbours house to settle their difficulty
Chris Johnson, the father was from
home, but Camerer saw the rest of the
family at supper near a window and
fired at them through the glass.
Fortunately no one was injured but
young johnson seized his shotgun, hur-
ried into the yard, where Camerer was
reloading, and shot him dead. AS soon as
Camerers sons learned what had oc-
CURED they were wild with rage Ed,
one of the number, swore over his ia
theirs body to be revenged on the entire
Johnson family, and would undoubtedly
have made his threat good had the local
authorities not placed him under arrest.
In the meantime the Johnsons were all
brought to Sioux City for safety.
When they return home they say they
will go well provided with arms and am
munition, as they are sure they will be
the victims Of an attack by the Cam
erers. The favorite weapon in the

signed for throwing a large charge of

CASH IS SCARCE.
New York Banks Have Small Sur

plus on Hand.
NEW YORK, July S-The Financier
says:
THE associated banks of New York, if
their statement for the week ending
July is to be accepted as correct, have
less surplus cash on hand than at any
time with the exception of September,
1899 since the 1893 panic. But the cur
rent exhibit is so complicated by Incl
dents due to July disbursements, and
also by the system of averages employed
in making ii, sthat its totals do not pos.
seSS the significance that otherwise might
attach them. The loss Of about 80, 900
in cash, for instance, is very much more
than known operations called for, and the
expansion of nearly $1,000, 900 in loans must
reflect previous weeks business. The
demands for accommoda within the
past four days certainly did not necessi-
tate this violent rise. AS the statement
stands it plainly indicates that every dol
lar of the loans has been taken from the
banks in cash, and the withdrawal of
deposits has been by a similar operation.
Manifestly this is an impossible cOntin-
gency
"a more detailed examination shows
that of the loss in cash the National City
and the Chase National banks are re-
sponsible for the entire reduction, the
National City's loss having been about
Sc, 000,000 and its increase in loans more
than 100000. 1t is interesting to note,
in this connection, that whereas the av-
| erage reserve of all the banks is now
25.5 per cent, a loss of 1 per cent, the re-
serve, exclusive of the institution named,
| Is &c per cent. In other words, sixty-two
Of the sixty-three banks have within a
| small fraction of 1 per cent Of as much
money as reported at the opening Of
July.
1.-THE refusal of call money to advance
perceptibly in the face of the showing
made by the banks shows that the sit
| uation is pretty we'll understood, and that
no fears are entertained as to the fu-
ture. During the next few weeks the
banks will gain heavily in cash. not only
| on government account, but from other
sources as well. 1t is perhaps no eXag-
geration to say that at the close of bust
ness Saturday, the various institutions
were in much better shape in every way

maintenance of q 4 per cent rate OH call
| money is of itself enough to induce

met In battle royal that has satisfied

that she can beat her now over a full

There were various rumors af1oat as

UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT.
The only unfortunate part of today's
event was the fact that both yachts sail
ed the wrong course. 1t was, in fact, the
feature of the day, and the strange ac-
ton of those in charge Of the yachts
kept every one guessing as to the ulti-
mate result. The first leg of the course
was to be eight miles long, the turning
point being off Stamford, Conn. The
yachtsmen of the Riverside club were hav-
ing a race on the sound. They set their
turning point right on the course that
the Columbia and Defender were to sail
over, but only four miles from their
starting point. When, after an exciting
luff1ng match, Capt. Rhodes saw this
mark, he promptly kept the Defender off,
and rounded It, and fer q while no one
knew whether 1t was a real race or not.
C. oliver Iselin explained matters when
seen after the race by an Associated
Press reporter. He said:
1.-The. Defender made the mistake, end
we simply followed her to make n race.
II has turned out a good one. We are
very well satisfied with 1t all around.
We both made a mistake, but it has been
the best all around race we have yet
had. 1 am satisfied that the Columbia
is the better boat but she will go to
Bristol and have her sails recut before
she races again"
The regatta committee say that the
event will be considered as a race, and
Commodore Postely will probably award
the cup to Columbia.
