FLOODS IN WISCONSIN.
Hundreds Driven from Their Homes
Railways suffer Severely-Other
Serious Damage Caused.

Lacrosse, Wis, Oct. 29.-Great dam
age has been caused by heavy rains.
Enormous loss has been suffered by
railroads, business men and farmers,
and hundreds are without homes. 1t
is impossible to estimate the damage,
as many towns are without commune
cation and no facts can be obtained.
The railroads running into this city
have suffered great damage. The
trains from all directions have been
tied up. The worst damage is re-
ported on the Milwaukee road.
At Hokah, Mimi, large bank Of
earth was washed on to the track, ten
feet high. Men have been working
removing it, but the task is not yet
completed. At the same place much
damage resulted from the flood. Lake
Como, about n mile from the village,
went up, flooding the summer cot
tages on it's banks. Bridges and mill
dams were wrecked. The Weber
Milling company, at that place, suf-
fered a loss amounting to $4,000. At
Dresbach, on the river division of the
same road, washout has been the
cause Of the trains being tied up. The
bridge was carried away and in many
places the track has been ruined.
Much damage was done in this city.
The Easements in the business part
of the city are flooded. In many
buildings on Front and Second streets
the water stands three feet deep in
the easements, and heavy losses will
be had, especially in the wholesale
district, where much stock was stored
in the cellars. The sewers overfiowed,
the streets were flooded, and in some
places deep bitches were left.

gOtiatiOns at Once-Chinese
Omcials Suicide.

Washington, Oct. 26.-Minister Con-
ger has been authorized by his gov
crnment to begin negotiations at once
with the Chinese ENJOYS on the basis
of the points in the German and
French notes upon which all of the
powers are agreed. Upon these
points where divergence of views has
been found to exist, the governments
of the powers themselves will negoti-
ate with view to reaching a further
understanding. 1t is understood that
the ministerial representatives at
Peking of the other powers have sim
liar instructions. but whether they

restrained.

dispatches, will deal with the points
likely to be acceptable to the other
governments. leaving the third para

Washington, Oct. 27.-The Chinese
minister has received dispatch stat
ing that Kang-Yi, member of the
cabinet with Yung-Lu and one of the
intense anti-foreign leaders, whose
punishment was demanded by the
powers, died of illness on the 18th
inst, also that Yu-Hsien, the late
governor of Shansi, who is said to
have been responsible for the death
of many missionaries, has committed
suicide by swallowing gold leaf. Min
lister WI regards this act as the result
of the disfavor which the high officials
have received from the throne.
Gov. Yu's method of suicide, by
swallowing gold leaf, is peculiar TO
China. 1t is a means by which high
personages take their lfe, the gold
leaf being representative of their high
station. The leaf forms ball in the
canals of the body and brings death
from suffocation.

court for decision and instructed him
to consult with his colleagues as 20 the
demands their governments will make
upon China in this respect. Should he
report that it is not possible to reach
