THREE DAYS DOWNPOUR.
Washington and Idaho Rivers Become
Raging Torrents. s"& EEs6

Washington and Idaho Rivers Become
Raging Torrents. sss4& 554
TACOMA, Jan. ia downpour of
rain for three days, together with pre-
vailing Chinook wind, melted the
snow and suddenly flooded several
western Washington valleys and a
great portion of 1tatah county, Idaho.
Hundreds of farms in Puyallup, Stuck
and White river valleys are under
water and the mountain streams are
raging torrents. The streets of Kent,
lying on the banks of the White river,
| are flooded, and for distance
of three miles below town the
river is out of its bank. The county
bridge has been washed out at Sumner
and two others are damaged. The
Stuck has cut new channel for itself
across the Maloney fruit farm and into
the Puyallup.
The Northern Pacific has been unable
to get westbound passenger train
into Tacoma since noon Friday.
Green river left its banks at Canton
and tore out long piece of track along
the mountain side, where the work of
rebuilding is slow and difficult.
A special from Kendrick, Ida., states
that three children of Charles HAM
blin and two Cinnamon are reported to
have been drowned there.
Whole Train Carried Away.
A Northern Pacific freight train was
caught by rushing waters in the can
yon between Moscow and Kendrick and
swept into the raging torrent. The train
crew escaped.
Kendrick, town of about 900 people,
situated on the fat where the Potlatch
and Bear creek converge in narrow
canyon, suffered most. With a rush
the waters engulfed the town and 80
frame business houses and number of
dwellings were soon floating down the
Potlatch river. So rapid was the rise
of the water that many people were
caught in the flood and rescued with
difficulty. Communication with the
flooded district by wire or rail has been
completely cut off and details as to loss
of life are unobtainable.
The town of Juliaetta, also on the
Potla5ch, when last heard from before
the wires went down, was IN immi-
nent danger.
Lewiston reports that the Snake and
Clearwater rivers are rising rapidly
and threaten to overflow vast territory.
A Juliaetta Qda) special says that for
miles along the Potlatch there is no
vestige of track, ties or roadbed. Some
believe the Northern Pacific will not be
able to run trains over the branch be-
fore March. One informant says every
bridge and yard of track between julia
eta and Clearwater rivers has been
washed out.

strong force or British troops advanced
during the morning under cover of .
brisk artillery fire and encamped at
Slingersfentein, on the Boers' eastern
flank. The Boer patrols retired, but
subsequently a body of Beers attempted
to seize the position, threatening COM
munication between the British en-
campment and Rensburg. The New
zealanders, with a brilliant dash, frus-
trated the attempt, They racel and
seized the position first and fired valleys
at the enemy, who retired IN the direc-
ton Of Colesberg.

SUGGESTED BY MERRIAM.

Farmers Should Prepare Accurate Sta.
tistias For Enumerators.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Director Mer.
riam suggests to the agriculturists OF
the country that they use some of their
spare time between now and June next

answer promptly and accurately the
questions relative to the acreage, quan.
tity and value of crops; the quantity
and value of all farm products, animal
and vegetable; the cost of fertilizers
and farm labor, and in fact all the
items of farm operations for the calen-
dar year 1899, which the census emu
merators are by law compelled to as
certain. This, he says, will result in
q full and accurate census.

BLAMEs MIR. HoAR.
Ex. Minister Barrett Says the Senators
Speech Was Cabied to Manila.

Ex. Minister Barrett Says the Senator'S
Speech Was Cabied to Manila.
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-John Barrett, ex.
United States minister to Siam, for the
first time publicly named Senator Hoa1
at Lake Forest university as the United
States senator whose anti-expansion
speech was cabled to Hong Kong and
subsequently put into the hands of the
Filipino soldiers, causing, as Mr.. Bar.
rett believed, the open insurrection. It
appeared further from the ex-minister's
speech that the government has dis.
covered privately the stages by which
the anti-expansion address reached
Luzon. ..-
In the course of his address, which
was on the general subject Of the
Philippines, the speaker said it had
been discovered in the government in
vestigation that Senator Hoar's speech
was cabled in cipher and in fragments
to Paris where it was put together and
forwarded to Hong Kong. The message
included several thousand words and
the cost for transmission was said to
have been $4,000. 1t interested the
government to know what friends the
Filipinos had at this time who were in
a position to send the message.
Sent to the Filipino omoers.
"l was in Hong Kong at the time,
said Mr.. Barrett. land I remember the
incident distinctly. I was coming down
stairs in the hotel when I met the
president of the Hong Kong junta and
he had in his hand the long dispatch he
had just received. 1t gave large part
of Senator Hoar's speech in full and a
summary of the rest of it. I asked the
president what he was going to do with
it, and he told me that he meant to
send it to the officers of the army in the
Philippines He was urged not to do
so, but he protested that it had been
printed in the United States and was
public property.
-Four days after that speech had
been delivered it was in the hands of
those who saw an opportunity to make
political capital of it. The speech was
published and distributed among the
soldiers and believe it was the culmi.
mating influence that brought about
the open insurrection. This speech, you
must remember, was delivered before
there was an open insurrection.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 16.-Reports

ordered and the Indian agent at Mon
don, reports that he has visited five

to hostilities, and that he expects, as
