gers were saved by the revenue cutter
Bear. She also has news of the wreck
If the small sloop Gypsy in the same
storm. Two of her crew were drowned.
The Cleveland arrived at Nome on
Iune 3, sailing nine days later. She was
compelled, with all the other steamers,
20 stand out to sea until the gale moder-
ated. She reports seeing safe at Nome
the Corwen and her tow, the Catherine

CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE,
Formal Opening In London of the
Fourth Congress.

London, June 26,-The fourth congress
of the Association of Chambers of Com
merce OF the United Kingdom has opened
here. Between 300 and 400 delegates,
representing the colonies as well as Great
Britain, were present Lord Selborne,
honorary president of the association,
welcomed the delegates In the course
of his speech he announced that real
progress had been made toward laying a
Pacific cable and that tenders would be
invited almost Immediately for the be-
ginning of the work.
Discussing imperial defense, Lord Sell
borne remarked that the whirligig of
time had strangely inverted the feeling in
relation thereto. A century and a quar-
ter ago this question of imperial defense
was the root of quarrel with the Amer
lean colonies which finally lost them to
Great Britain. Today the same ques-
tion, ne said, is operating more than any
other in drawing the different parts of the
empire together. The colonies, he added,
now voluntarily admitted what America
had disputed-namely, that colonies ought
to contribute to their own defense.
A resolution proposed by the Toronto
board OF trade advocating "the adoption
of commercial policy based on the
principle of mutual benefit by which
each part of the empire may receive sub
stantial advantage in trade as the result
of its national relationship" led to a pro
longed and heated discussion.
Although the terms free trade" and
tprotection" were studiously avoided, the
resolution directly opened up the ques'
tion. The matter was temporarily shelly
ed, however, by the appointment of a
cononittna to formulate and define DrO.
posal for consideration by the congress.
This was done in spite of the strenuous
opposition of the Canadians, who oppos-
ed the appointment unless the congress
first declared in favor of reciprocity.

PENNsY CRIPPLED TOO.
Accident Puts One of Varsity Crew
Out of the Race.

Poughkeepsie, June 26.-What appears
to be serious accident has happened to
a member of the Pennsylvania varsity
crew. Fred Stehle, who rows at No.
in the varsity boat, sprained his ankle
after the evening practice.
An omnibus is employed to convey the
oarsmen from the boathouse to their
quarters at Bellevue villa, which is at
the summit of steep hill. Just as the
bus reached the house Stehle, who want
ed to get a drink at a well, jumped out
while the omnibus was still in motion.
AS he struck the ground his ankle turned
over, and he fell on the grass in great
pain. Several of his companions helped
him up and into the house, where Ellis
Ward put him to bed and bandaged his
injured ankle.
The coach cautioned the men not to
say anything about the accident, and it
was not known to all of the crew until
Ward saw the accident was so serious
that Stehle couldn't be expected to row
in the regatta.
'This will put us in bad shape" said
Ward. "Stehle is one of the best men
in the varsity crew. l shall put Sinkler,
who rows two in the varsity four, in his
place, and that will weaken the four
very much. l feel pretty blue this morn
ing. Our chances for winning never
seemed better, but l am afraid there isn't
much show for us now"
Stehle was able to get up and hobble
down to breakfast with assistance, but
Ward says there isn't one chance in a
thousand that he will be able to row On
Saturday.
When Ward heard of the accident to
Captain Higginson of the Harvard crew,
he said to his men: snow you boys will
understand why don't want you to play
baseball. 1t seems as if men in training
for a boat race are the most careless in
the world in the way of guarding against
accidents. hope you will all take warn
ing from this"

Big FLOOD IN mobile.
Fully Ten Inches of Rain Fall In Four
:. Hours.
WHOLE CITY SUBMERGED.
Police Declare That Two Families
Perished In One Street, and
l. Many Reports of FataIi-
tSy ties Are Expected.

Mobile, June 26.-This city is literally
under water. Streets in the business
section are totally impossible, and all
business is suspended merchants, clerks
and workmen being unable to travel from
their homes to the city. Street car traffic
has been abandoned. The only manner
of 'locomotion is in butchers and bakers
wagons.
The deluge came on as the climax to a
long period of heavy rain, and for hours
the streets leading to the river have pre-
sented the appearance of swollen tor
rents. The Western Union Telegraph
Office has several feet of water over the
floor, and ground floors of business
houses in the lowland district are SUBJ
merged. Even newspapers are at stand
still, the employees being unable to reach
the Offices.
The river is high and going up. An
other few feet rise will cause repetition
of the disastrous floods of 1893, and it is
even now feared that many truck gar
deners and fishermen in isolated places
across the river have lost their lives.
Reports of fatalities began to come
in early. The police have it that two
families perished on one street. Along
many thoroughfares in the hollow be-
tween the business section and the higher
ground of the suburbs the water floated
frame houses from their foundations and
carried the household effects of hundreds
of negroes beyond their reach.
A reporter made a tour of this district
in butchers wagon and saw police in
patrol wagons endeaToring to rescue per-
sons from upper stories of houses. Many
will be drowned if the rain does not
cease.
The weather bureau reports ten inches
of rain from to 8 o'clock, when it was
still falling in sheets. 1t is more like
the rain of the tropics than any ever be-
fore known here.
New Orleans, Montgomery, Meridian
and other places report no rain, show
ing that the excessive fall is limited to
this part of the gulf coast.
