TEXAS WATERS ARE RECED|NG
CONDITION IN THE
BRAZoS BOTTOMS.
Estimated Damage of S4,OOO,OOO
None Too High-Loss of Life Only
Among Negroes.

Austin. Tex, July Reports from
the Brazos bottoms today reveal a de-
| plOrable condition. The waters are still
very high, but are slowly receding, and
it is believed that the worst is over in
that particular section of the state. The
International & Great Northern rail-
road this morning started out a large
wrecking force, to work in the water
between here and Heame. to replace
the track and bridges. They have sew
eral bridges to be replaced and much
of their track has been under water.
The Houston & eXasT Central do not
expect to get their trains running for
six days yet. Their track is four feet
under water for much of its way from
Herame down. and as they have a
number of bridges washed away, and
cannot get at the creeks to replace
them, owing to the raging torrents, they
viii of necessity have to wait Until the
waters subside.
The estimated damage of 81. 000, 900 to
the country tributary to the Brazos val
ley is none too high. as reports re-
ceived today and tonight merely con-
firm the tale of loss and suffering re-
ported yesterday. 1t is not believed
that the loss of life will be anywhere as
large as reported and will be principally
among the negroes.
Reports from along the bottoms, state
that hundreds or people nave Deen
rescued during the past two days by
means of improvised RATS, and that in
each case of known drowning. some
party has indiscreetly upset raft after
getting on it. with the result that the
entire load was thrown into the water

that mutiny developed on the cruiser

yard, while on her way from San Juan.
Porto Rico, to this port, and that it was
necessary TO place twenty-four men in

SOVEREIGN IN EAST
Stirs Excitement Among New York
Union Men.

New York, July 2.-EX-General Mas
ter Workman James r. Sovereign of
the Knights of Labor today visited the
Central Federated Union and stirred up
excitement among the delegates on the
action of General Merriam in the Occur
d Alene district.
He said he had come as a represent
ative of the organized miners of the
Rocky mountain mines, and he thanked
the New York unions for the protests
that they had made against the des-
potiSm that had been alleged had eX-
listed.
Mr.. Sovereign threw the responsible
ty for all the troubles in that mining
district upon John d. Rockefeller who.
he said, owned the Bunker Hill COM
pany and controlled other mines. The
manager of the mines, he said had an
agreement with the miners that when
the prices of silver and lead ores rose
they would pay them union rates of
wages. The price did rise, and when
the men asked for the advanced rate
they were refused. The men organized
and the managers began discharging
them in blocks of ten and twenty.
The ex-general master workman then
described the gathering of men, their
taking possession of a train and load
ing it with 1000 pounds of dynamite,
with which they blew up some of the
works.
1T was the grandest pyrotechnic dis
play that l ever knew of in my life,'
he continued, but it had not been or
dered or planned by the union. 1t was
the men themselves who had been
goaded to desperation.
I'VE propose to make a national issue
of this, because it involves national in
terests. There may be jealousies and
rivalries among trades unions, but
when the enemy turn the gatling guns
against one union they will turn them
against all unions, and we are of fight
ing blood in the west and we will fight
it out there"

THEY ORGANIZE A UNION.
Chicago Packing House Employees to
Fight Their EMPLOYERS.

Chicago, July 2-There will be no gener-
al strike of packing house employees at
present. This much was decided on at a
mass meeting of disconnected laborers
held his afternoon at Forty-third and
Wallace streets. The idea of strike has
not been given up altogether. but the
opinion prevails that the time was not vet
ripe. and that the interests of the men
would be best conserved by waiting until
an organization could be perfected of suf-
ncient strength to carry to successful
conclusion any movement of the kind
The first move in that direction was
made at the meeting. An organization,
known as the Packing House Employees
union. was formed. and over 500 men be-
came members. The avowed purpose of
the union is to fight the packers. and it
was said openly at the meeting that as
soon as the union was sufficiently strong
the packers would have to meet the de-
mands of the men or a general Strike
would take place.
BY September the union is expected to
have a membership of 1900. and if by
that time the demands of the men for
better working hours and increased wages
are not complied with. it was said a gem
eral tie-up of the packing houses would
be ordered. In the meantime all the en-
ployees were cautioned 10 continue with
their work. The names of the officers of
the new organization were kept secret.

SUNNYSIDE MOVED.
Rio Grande Western to Establish
Town In Whitmore Canyon.
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
Price, Utah, July 2.-The passenger
depot and freight house at Sunnyside
station on the Rio Grande Western
railway, some seventeen miles east Of
Price, has been taken down in sections
and will be loaded on fiat cars and
moved to the town to be established in
Whitmore canyon. The former station
of Sunnyside on the mail line will be
abandoned, and the new town to be
created in the canyon viii bear the
name of Sunnyside. Mounds station
will be the terminal or junction point.
and il is asserted that by the time the
road is completed up TO the mines. the
company will then be ready TO put the
coal mine branch on through to the
Duchesne river. which would shorten
the wagon haul TO the towns of the
Ashley valley more than half over the
present route via Price.
The surveyors of the Western are
still at work trying the passes at the
head of the canyon down into Nine Mile
canyon, and it is said here If the ex-
tension of the road should not be made
at once, a wagon road will be built by
those interested in the forwarding OF
freight 10 the Vernal country This
wagon road can be constructed at Il
cost of not to exceed $500, and can be
kept open the year round The snow
fall on the pass is light and the route
would shorten the distance over Price
some seventeen to twenty miles.
At the rate work is going ahead now.
the cars should be going into the coal
camp by the LIST of September. 10 is
believed here the people of Ashley val
ley will help literally in the building
of the wagon road if it is necessary in
order to facilitate the handling of the
freight from that section. The new
route would do away with a bad hill
just outside of the town of Price, which
is one of the worst on the road.

Everything Was Quiet at Illinois
Mines Yesterday.
LAYING ON THEIR Aims
OBJECTIONS TO PRESENCE OF
SOLDIERS IN TOWN.
Citizens Declare There Was No
Necessity For an Appeal to the
Governor For Efforts
to Get the Non-union Colored Men
to Leave.

st. Louis, July "A special to the
Republic from Carterville, Ills, says
that had it not been for the militia
patrolling the streets today, strangers
would hardly guess that the little city
was in the midst of a struggle between
capital and labor. Both sides in the
trouble between the union miners and
the non-union men lay on their arms
and there were no disturbances. The
! presence of troops quoted matters and
| allayed fears of riotous outbreaks.
In accordance with the orders issued
by Acting Governor Warder. through
Adjutant General Reece last night, two
companies of militia-C of Carbonate,
under Captain Barton. and f of Mount
vernon, under Captain Pavey-were at
Carbonate today. There they awaited
the coming of Colonel Bennett of
Greenville who arrived at noon. He
took command of the troops and
brought them on a special train TO
Carterville at l q. m. They immedi-
ately camped in grove on the out
skirts of town.

tailed TO patrol the roads leading to the
Brush mines, and detail of company

on the noon train. as the representa-
tive of Acting Governor Warder, to
look over the situation. The business
men and citizens generally of Carter
vile expressed disapproval of the ac-
ton of the acting governor in sending
the militia here.
No Need of Soldiers.
No manifestation of hostility was
made toward the soldiers by the crowd
that had assembled at the station when
they came in, but the concensus of
opinion was that there was no occasion
for their presence here. Sheriff Gray
was roundly denounced by several mer-
chants for his kilograms to the gov
ernor, which resulted in the calling out
of the troops
This afternoon a delegation of mer-
chants and property owners called on
Colonel Culver to protest against the
presence of the troops and TO ask their
withdrawal The members of the
delegation stated that Sheriff Gray had
not exhausted his resources TO prevent
a conflict and that he did not even at
tempt to raise a posse; Furthermore.
that he was not at the scene of the
trouble more than three hours during
the two days it lasted.
At the meeting of the leading mer-
chants of the town Saturday night $3.50
was raised to defray the expenses Of
sending away the non-union miners
in the Brush shaft. The negroes have
expressed their Willingness to go, and
had it not been for the arrival of the
militia today it is said that within
forty-eight hours not one of the ne
groes would be in the mine AS it is,
the citizens fear that their purpose has
been temporarily thwarted. but hope
is expressed that the existing arrange
ment still may be carried out and a
peaceful solution of the difficulty ar
rived at.
