DEATH ROLL RISING.
Dropping Exhausted From Trees
Into the FlOOd-NO Relief
Boats Have Arrived.

St. Louis, Mo-, July 6 A
special to the ost-D:spatch from
Dallas, Texas, says:
At II o'clock to-day a short
dispatch was received from a
lineman at Dewey, just across the
Brszos river from Sealey. It
read:
"River falling slowly since 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Con-
ditions here terrible. Everything
in country swept away. Large
hum Der Of lives lost in bottoms.
Looks like starvation for those
left, Situation not been exag-
gerated. Several days before
line repairs can be made with
anything like system"
This telegram was received
over the first wire that has been
working into Sealey and Dewey
for three days.
D putty Sheriff Swearinger, at
Sealey, telephoned at noon:
"There is no Improvement in
this section of the flood district,
If anything. the situation is grow
ing worse. No relief boats have
yet reached here from Houston
or Galveston. iSealey and neigh~
boring towns have about ex.
hausted their resources. Another
negro family was drowned near
here to>day. Several other lives
have been lost since last night,
especially among the refugees ON
the mound near Old San PHILIPPE.
A number of negroes have fallen
exhausted from tree tops, after
hanging there three days and
nights, and we're drowned,
"A rumor is current here of
great loss of life near Richmond,
Fort Bend county. AS we are cut
off from all that Southern sec~
ton, definite information is IN

urally must be as bad as here. ~

AGAINST SAMPSON.
Not Entitled to Pay as Rear Ad-
miral Because of SEN
ate's Attitude.
Washington, July 6.


Mr.. Mitch, II, Acting Conptrol-
Ter of the Treasury, has replied to
an inquiry from Pay Inspector
Bartis on the United States flag
ship New York, at Po.t of Spain,
Trinidad, as to the rate Of pay to
which Rear Admiral W. 7. Samp-
son is entitled from August 10th,
1898, when he was commissioned
a Rear Admiral, to March 4tb,
1899, the date when Congress ads
journed. The essential facts IL
connection with Admiral Samp-
sens advancement ere given by
the Bureau of Navigation as fol-
lows:
'sRear Admiral William T.
Sampson was advanced eight num-
bers and appointed a Rear ADJ
miral in the Navy for eminent aud
CONSPICUOUS conduct in battle un-
der the provisions of Section l.,
506 of the Revised Statutes, from
the 10th day of August, 1898, and
an interim commission was issued
him from that date. This advance
ment the Senate failed to confirm
prior to adjournment -
Acting Comptr oller Mitchell in
the course of his decision says:
s'The advancement in numbers
authorized by Section 1,506 does
not create vacancy within the
meaning of the Constitution from
the time when the President de-
cides to recommend such advance
ment, nor is any vacancy created
prior to the date when the Senate
concurs~in the Presidents recon-
mendation. 1t is not simply tho
filling of an Office: it is an adjudi-
cation not by the President alone,
but by the President and Senate,
upon the question of whether the
acts of heroism constitute sufficient
ground for advancement, and un-
til such combined action is had, no
advancement takes place, and no
vacancy exists to be filed, Tne
President and Senate together con-
stitute forum TO pass upon ques-
tions of advancement in numbers
under this section of the Revised
Statutes. l am of the opinion,
therefore, and so decide that as the
Senate did not consent to the ad-
vancement of Rear Admiral Samp
son, no authority exists for paying
him as Rear Admiral from the
date when he was commissioned
as such for eminent and conspicu-
GUS conduct in battle, to the ad-
journmentzof the session of the
Senate at which such advancement
was proposed

when the trains arrived at mon

the ". & W. train came up to

the Raleigh train barely car

man grabbed her and held her.
They were country people, and
had evidently never been on a

lock after such people and warn
them not TO be in hurry about
