Destruction to Property
Is Enormous
And 1t Is Feared the Loss of
Life Is Great.
Colorado River Is Ten Feet Higher
Than Ever Before.

Austin, Tex, Sept. 25.-(Spl)-No
reports have been received this morn
ing from the flood threatened district
south of here. Warning was sent by
Governor Sayres that the Trinity, Col
orado and Blazos rivers had overflow
ed their banks, and We're sweeping
down the valley 1t is feared that
hundreds Of lives have been lost in the
flooded districts Ms the rise came in the
night and no warning could be sent to
those who live in the bottom lands.
The Colorado river is ten feet higher
than ever before, and is rising rapid
ly. Fears are entertained for the
safety of the residents of Bastrop and
La Grange.
Within the last few hours, the Col
orado river has risen 10 feet at this
point, and this additional flood, il the
reports from points above here are
correct, will inundate the whole val
ley and cause great destruction of
property. People in the lowlands have
moved to high grounds, the police as
sisting. them to move their household
effects.
From points north of here, the dam
age by the floods will be heavy. Crops
will he destroyed, tens of thousands
of head of live stock drowned, and 4
loss of life. The San Suba river,
which empties into the Colorado river
above Austin, is higher than it has
been in years, and has done great
damage along its course. Word re
ceived by telephone from Llano, iC
miles south of San Saba, reports that
town partly swept away. No direct
communication can be had with San
Saba, the wires being down. Marble

Falls, small town of 500 inhabitants,
25 miles above Austin, is reported to
have been washed away. Efforts to
reach there are without avail. At
Kingsland the river rose so feet DUR
ing the day.
Goldthwait, Dublin, Brownwood and
other towns along the Colorado river
have sent out warnings to prepare for
the flood. Bridges have been washed
away and many houses destroyed.
Reports from West Texas are meager
as the country is sparsely settled and
it will be some days before accurate
information is obtainable.

Than the United States and In Reality
Mean Same Thing.

Berlin, Sept. 25.-(spl) Russia ard
Japan have replied, asserting in prin-
ciples, to the German note, though
Russia points out the necessity OF
further negotiations respecting the
punishment of the ringleaders of the
Chinese outrages.
The reply of France was to the same
effect, practically, as Russia's and was
undoubtedly framed to accord with it.
The British reply has not yet been
announced, If indeed, it has been re-
ceived.
Official Germany processes to he
highly pleased with the replies from
the continental powers regarding the
non-concurrence of the United States
as unimpOrtant. AS a matter of fact
however, it will probably appear short
ly, that the replies of Russia, France
and Japan and doubtless of England
are in effect the same as the Washing
ton note, although dictated by more
considerate diplomacy, in view Of
Gerniany's greater provocation to vio-
late measures in China. In short, the
Kaiser will be given the satisfaction
of paper assurances that his policy
Of punishment is excellent while at the
same time its operations will be quiet
ly blocked. The fact that Rome and
vienna are entirely in accord with
Berlin is of small Importance.
Meanwhile the greatest physical OBJ
stacle TO a diplomatic settlement in Chi

1t Is believed that the Kaiser will go
to great lengths to justify his Field
Marshal's presence in China. Wheth-
cr it will be so far as to wreck the
concert of the powers cannot be pre-
dlcted. but 1t is the opinion of many
foreign diplomats IN Berlin, that on
the Kaiser's temper, will depend the
adjustment OF Chinese affairs, whether
1t is to be accomplished by diplomacy
or force.

Especial Correspondence
Barberton, Sept. %. Mr.. o. G. Bar
ber appeared before the Council last
night in behalf of the Cleveland, Bar
berton e Western railroad for the
purpose of urging along the overhead
bridge at Cornell St This Is the first
time he had ever been before the Coun-
Gil.
The Erie railroad Is preventing the
G. b. & w II. r. from entering the
village until the overhead bridge IN
built. Before the overhead bridge is
built at Cornell ST., the Erie Will make
n new grade, and at the same time
put new bridge over Wolf Creek,
and allow the g. B. & w. X. r. to
pass under the Wolf Creek bridge.
Until the new bridge is put over Wolf
Creek, however, the new road cannot
enter the village.
In the absence of Clerk Witncr,
James u, Whigam acted as clerk. Mr..
trt. n, N,,n &.
and Councilmen conferred Friday re-
garding the overhead bridge mt Cor
nell st. He said the Erie officials had
profiles and plans for the proposed
improvement and estimated the cost
at $4,000, and that all parties were
willing to go ahead lf the cost can be
distributed satisfactorily. OF this
amount they want the town TO pay
about $500. secure some land necas
sary for removing the track and stand
all damages.
Mr. Whigam said that the Solicitor
said the village would only have to
pay 35 per cent OF the cost of the
bridge, and not have 10 stand damage
cases.
Mr.. Barber read telegram from Mr..
Talcott, an Erie official, In which he
said the specifications would he ready
within a few days, ana that the viii
lagos share would not vary much from
$500.
Mr.. Barber stated he had talk with
Mr. n. Il. Walsh and that he looked
with favor on the Improvement, Mr..
Barber then argued nj length why the
Improvement should he made at once.
MIR. McCarty was in favor of wait
ing until everything was In more de-
! finite form, saying that he would not
r. take Mr.. Walsh's word, but wanted
written agreement accompanied by
bond. Mr. Whlgam said he asked
the Erie officials what n reasonable
share would be sor Mr.. Walsh to pay,
They said 17M per cent,
Mr. Barber said they had TO pay the
I Erie $500 To get their railroad I'M.
, der the Wolf Creek bridge when the
Improvement is made. He also said
many towns would pay S7,o00 to get a
new railroad, This road runs to Fair,

Everybody is aware that poor roads
are productive Of much muscular
profanity, but it remained for dele
gates to the congress of the National
Good Roads association to prove that
they are also the breeders of crime.
Several of the members Of the congress
delivered addresses at the meeting,
held at Chicago a few days ago, in
which they proved to their own salts
faction at least that the subjects of
crime and good roads are not SO dis
connected as many people believe.

POSSIBLE TARIFF WAR.

AS viewed from this side it would
seem that the agrarians will succeed
in their efforts to precipitate a tariff
war between their WI country and
the United States. Through the
workings of modern civilization the
time has passed when one nation, no
matter how powerful and rich it may
be, can exist Independently without
commercial relations with another.
By attempting to hold aloof it Injuries
itself more, than it Injuries the one
with which it declines to continue
upon friendly, relations. This Ger
many will learn should it give heed to
the party which is seeking to force it
into the adoption of laws that will
practically close its portals to the wares
of this nation. It must not be over
looked that a tariff war, such as may
result should the agrarians prove sue
cessful, would be a detriment to the

MRS. STANFORD'S MISTAKE.

While a state ami nation pay CRATE
full tribute to Mrs. Stanford for the
liberality which makes possible the
maintenance of a seat of learning on
so elaborate a scale as the university
bearing the name of her deceased son,
they do, however, feel justified in re-
senting her unseeming interference
with the successful conduct Of that
institution. Her recent act in forcing
the resignation of one of it's professors
for the reason that his sociological
teachings are at variance with her
own ideas has aroused a. storm Of in
dignant protest not only in California
alone, but throughout the entire land.
The lady now probably realizes that
the views enunciated by Professor
Ross OH the subject Of Chinese immi-
grafton are more popular with the
public than those she appears to enter
tain. She probably also understands
that notwithstanding the charges to
the contrary, America as a nation is
not so dominated by the spirit of COM
mercialism and gain that it will with
out vigorous objection submit to the
introduction into its higher education
al institutions of that spirit and allow
it to influence their teachings and
dwarf American manhood until it is
incapable of conceiving anything
greater or nobler in life than the ac-
cumulation of sordid wealth and the
exercising of power it brings. She
will also understand that the value Of
the right of free speech still remains
at par and that any attempt to abridge
that right will be resented, vigorously
and unanimously.

The administration at Washington
is taking a sensible view Of the situa-
ton in China by declining to join in
demands with which that government
cannot comply. Common sense points
out the folly of demanding the impos-
sible. The crippled financial condi-
tion of China is known to all nations
and to exact tribute from a pauper
would be foolish. In holding aloof
from the demands that some of the
powers are inclined to attempt to en-
force, the administration need not re-
cede from it's original position of in
sisting upon punishment of the guilty
and reasonable assurance from the re-
sponsible authorities that such acts as
made foreign Intervention necessary
will not be repeated in the future; nor
does this imply abandonment Of the
claim for just indemnity to the citi-
zens Of this country who have been
injured by the boxer uprising. 1t is
pleasing to observe that the French
government is inclined to hold to the
same view as is taken by own.

IGNORE THE EAST SIDE.

The democrats of the state are mott
fed from headquarters at Butte that
after due deliberation it has been de-
cided that the two United States SEN
atorships are not to be allowed to go
out of that city. This decision was
arrived at after Mr.. Clark concluded
he wanted as colleague his friend and
chum, H. l.. Frank. As previously
published III these columns, MI. Frank
has friends who have been working to
create sentiment in his behalf, and
they have evidently succeeded in a
manner that makes his candidacy
something more than a pleasant fic-
ton, as it has MI. Clark's official en-
~dorsement. Mr.. Frank is now an
avowed candidate and so announced
himself in an interview a few days
ago. He said he felt he hGd some
claim on the party in the way of rec
ignition for past services rendered,
and that others felt the same way, as
he had received the unsolicited assur-
ances Of their support from several of
the members-elect of the legislature.
Mr.. Frank, in the same interview,
gave it out, though, that his candidacy
was subordinate to that of his chief
and that after the latter was elected
he was willing to enter the ring him
self and take his chances with the
other fellows. He also expressed the
belief that MI. Clark would be elected
OH the first ballot.
This fiat would seem to squelch the
ambitions OF. more than n distin.
gentleman, who, like Mr..
thinks he has some claims on
the party. It also is a complete ignor-
OF precedent in that it intends to

ENEMIES OF

The editors Of the other fusion
papers of the state should take their
brother of the Butte Reveille to one
side and give him a little private
talk. This blunt declarations he
makes as to the intentions of the fu-
sionist members of the legislature are
calculated to Offset the promises made
by the rest of the scribes of the sect.
They are more diplomatic than he and
are trying to make it appear that all
the fusion talk about the cooper
trust" heard during the campaign
was only fustian calculated to make
votes, and having been successful
nothing more Of the same sort will be
heard until it becomes necessary to
again play upon passions and prejudice
for the benefit Of a lot Of demagogues.
Not so with him. He is honest in
that respect and says what he means.
He and the interests he represents are
determined to keep up the fight and
erect a wall to keep out capital and
prevent men of means from investing
in the state. More than this, he
seeks to drive out that already in
vested. If any one doubts this asser-
tion the following from the sheet
named, published a few days ago, will
verify the charge made against him
and his owners:
To be as plain as plain can be, the
Amalgamated Copper company is a
swindle in conception and in execution
and it has no business to exist in Mon
tana or in any other state. We can
imagine the hack phrase-makers of the
Inter Mountain and the Miner smiling
with incredulity at such a statement.
But we repeat and repeat emphatical-
ly that the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany is a swindle and must go. And
it can be expelled from Montana
without putting any more law upon
the statute books than exists there
now, and if the editor of the Miner
will but consult the Hon. Frank Cor
he will find out that the Reveille
is correct in this statement.

give both senators to the west side.
Whether the scheme will prove sue
cessful is doubtful. The men of the
east side think, and not without
reason, that there fare others than
the two gentlemen of Butte who have
claims on the party and when it comes
to voting it will be seen that they ara
not without a following of the same
mind that will make them an element
that the Warwicks must recognize.
The fight promises to be a pretty one
and the republicans will be not the
least interested among the spectators.
