pronerty.

Brussels, June s. - DR.. Leyds. the
European representative of the Trans
vaal, has received an official dispatch
from Pretoria, confirming the report of
the failure of President Kruger and the
British high commissioners, Sir Alfred
Miner, to reach an agreement at the
conference just held at Bloemfontein.
IL is added that, although President
Kruger offered important concessions,
he made them contingent upon the Brit
ish acceptance of the principle of ar
bitration on the differences existing be-
tween Great Britain and the Transvaal.
This Great Britain heretofore has in
variably refused on the ground that 1T
would be an acknowledgment of the in
CAPABILITIES OF the two countries.
According to the dispatch received by
DIR. Leyds, President Kruger proposed
that sojourn of two years be neces-
sary for naturalization and that the
full franchise be acquirable five years
later, coupled with property and other
qualifications. The British high com
missioner regarded the proposal as i'm
sufficient and made a counter-proposal
President Kruger, il is further asserted,
intends TO submit both proposals TO the

cision of Great Britain relative to ar.
bitration.

1t is lawful to be lazy--when each dear,
old-fashioned daisy--breathesa message from
the fragrant yester years-When the fields

When the violet blossoms happy--on the.

GREAT FLOOD in TEXAS.
WaterSpout Causes Great Amount
Of Damage Along the Banks
OF Colorado River.

st. Louis, june s.--A special to the
Republic from Austin, Tex, says: Asa
result Of the terrible WATERFRONT and ex-
ceedingly heavy rains Tuesday night on
the upper watersheds the Colorado
river is raging out OF its banks. Re
ports from Marble Falls and LlGno, 80
miles above, show 25-foot rise there,
doing great damage to property all
along the river.
The cotton mill at Marble Falls suf-
fered considerable damage, high water
destroying the mill race and tearing out
all the southern portion of the mill.
The waterworks, the river bridge and
other property TO the amount Of $780,
900 was damaged. Between here and
there there are 30 miles OF river front
which has been washed and torn. All
day long the torrent rose. and debris
is pouring down the river by the ear
load. Small houses. which have been
swept from their insecure mooring
along the river front, are seen floating
far out in the stream, though the i'm
mates have escaped. as there Is no sign
of life about the cottages.
The water began to rise here about
one o'clock Wednesday afternoon and
by night had gone up IL feet. and still
is rising. The great dam and power
house al this place is in danger of be-
ing washed away. The water Is pour
ing over the great i20-foot dam span
ming the river here in solid sheet Of
mud and debris l2 feet deep, and roar
ing so as to be heard several miles. All
below this city, which is located at the
foot OF the range of mountains, this
big food is rapidly forcing its way into
the lowlands, submerging them and
causing much anxiety as to the safety
of the people living in close proximity
TO the river. Word has been sent on
down the river to the people to take
10 the higher lands. and SO far there
has been no lives lost, though there
has been considerable loss of stock and
Droperty.
