Reports of devastating floods are coming

The treeless slopes of the Sierras are turn

similar result. The upper valley of the
Ohio has all the characteristics of a flood

The unexpected protraction of the Boer
war need not alarm Englishmen. since
much longer wars have been fought by
them within this century. Napoleon de-
clared war against England in May, 1908,
the previous war between the two coun-
tries having only terminated by the
treaty of Amiens in October. 1891. The
war of 1909 lasted till April. fS14, when
Paris surrendered 10 the allies. and Ma
poleon was sent as prisoner to Elba,
where he arrived on the 4th OF May. He
escaped frcm Elba, in March. 1915. and
recommended the war which finally te.-
minated with Napoleon's defeat at the bat
tie of Waterloo, on the 18th of June, 1873,
having lasted nearly twelve years. Na'
poleon was sent as prisoner TO ST.
Helena. where he died in 1921.
The European power that has oeeh moos
at war during the century mas Deeh lur
kev-thirty- eight years of IL as against
siytv-two of peace. The second on the list
is Spain with thirty-two years OF war
fare not counting her last fatal campaign.
Then come France with twenty-seyen
wears Russia with twenty -four, and Italy
with twenty-t three. Great Britain has had
no less than twenty-one. Germany, not
counting Prussia. follows with fourteen.
Sweden with ten. and Denmark with nine.
Our own country during this century has
escaped with three foreign wars. one civil
strife the Philippine insurrection, and

vlndieation at the election last night 10
siscuss future moves. It has not been
decided who viii be the delegates to the
National Convention. A great many names
have been suggested but none chosen. Up
60 the present time there is no certainty
as 10 any one man, or even any Prob
ability. The city convention tom0rrow
night will meet with an open mind. What
its choice will be l cannot say.
Mr.. Norris did not say that it would be
a Quaker meeting waiting to be moved
by the spirit. but his words had that sig
nihcance.
and has it been decided whether the
delegation chosen TO the National Con-
vention will be instructed or not?' he
was asked.
Il cannot say Nobody knows. Many
of the prominent Democrats OF the Dis
trlct. Including myself, favor an unin-
structed delegation as we have said. But
il il develops that sentiment at the city
convention is for instructions to the dele
cation undoubtedly instructions will be
given"
Now for the facts A conference of the
leaders of the Norris faction viii be held
tonight probably al the Metropolitan
Hotel. though~Ihe meeting place may be
changed. Mr. Norris. J. Fred Kelley. John
A. Clarke and several other supporters of
Mr.. Nerris will be present. Plans viii be
discussed. A chairman and a secretary fOr
the city convention tomorrow viii be
agreed on
The delegates have been chosen, al
though Mr. Norris is too modest to ac-
knowledge it. Four Of the six Will be:
James L. Norris, J. Fred Kelley, John a.
Clarke and William Hart.
Despite Mr.. Norris protests of innocence
il may be stated on excellent authority
that il has been practically decided to in
struet the Norris delegates for MIR. Bryan
ard for the Bryan platform. This decision
has been taken in self-defeIce.
A Norris man said today regarding the
question: We realize that if our dele
cation goes TO the National Convention un-
instructed and another delegation goes
from the District with rigid instructions
Tor Mr.. Bryan. there viii be little chance
Of our being seated.
But even the decision TO instruct the
delegates does not wholly remove doubt
from the minds of the Norris people. They
wonder If when they present themselves at
the National Convention, virtuous through
fear instead of through choice. they may
not even then be cast out in favor of the
original BRYAN delegation
