NEW DANGER FOR BRITAIN.
The Ruler Of Nighansian Announces That He
Must Have Aid Against Russia.

That Great Britain's attitude towards
Afghanistan in connection with Rus
sian designs on Herat does not meet
with approval at Cabul, the capital OF
Afghanstan, is proved by an autograph
letter published with the Ameer's con-
sent. in which, after referring to the
rumors, he adds:
Now, when Aighanistan is over
whelmed on all sides, the British gov
ernment does not seem to take any in
terest, but enjoys the pride OF aloofness
and reserve. Whenever ! have sug-
gested check to Russian aggression
! have had no response from the gov
ernment Of India. except the suggestion
that Alghanistan might consent to the
construction OF railways and telegraphs.
This is impossible, as the Afghans con
slider that such step would mean their
ruin. Notwithstanding all these trou-
bles | have proved for the past 2I years
the firm ally OF Great Britain. But
now, at the last moment, | must inform
my powerful ally, the government OF
India, that the present is the time for
deeds and not for talk"

GREAT FLOOD DAMAGE.
Many Lives Lost and Much Properly Rulred In
The Southern States.

The damage from the floods in the
South will be enormous, far exceeding
carly fears. The railroads are the worst
sufferers, but great injury has been done
to crops. When the waters have gone
down it is believed the loss of many
lives will be discovered. The loss to the
Illinois Central alone will amount to
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
-Four people were drowned near Meri-
dan and two near Hattiesburg. Miss.
There has doubtless been loss OF life at
Enterprise. Miss The Enterprise
Academy was swept away.
Friday night the Wanita cotton mill
Dam, six miles above Enterprise, gave
way. A body of water IS feet deep
and covering 10 acres, rushed down
through the Chunky river swamp. Many
plantation hands are reported to have
lost their lives in wild rush for high
er ground. Many buildings in the path
OF the flood were thrown from their
foundations and destroyed.
Authentic reports regarding damage
to crops i'll country districts adjacent to
Nicksburg show that the ruin is wide
spread, crops, especially corn, being
nearly total loss.

MERELY LIP ROYALTY.
Redmond Says Ireland Has no Real Reason 10
Rejoice With Victoria.

William Redmond, NJ. p, OF Dublin,
asks: "Why are cheap flags flying AMI
why are little children taught to sing
praises to royalty? A visitor from an
other planet might think that these
things were caused by a victory or by
the prevalence OF peace and plenty.
For a half year past" he says, "a
bloody, hideous war has ragged in South
Africa, but so far it has yielded no great
victories at which England can rejoice,
while the list of killed, wounded and
missing number $4,000"
'ls this why" he asked, "draggled
flags are flying in Dublin and children
are taught to sing the anthem? 1t is in
mourning that all lovers of justice and
Christianity should be, instead OF re-
joicing."
"The queen must know" he adds,
that there can be no reality in the ma
tons greeting until Ireland enjoys her
long delayed rights, Those who en-
deavor to prove that Ireland is content
ed will only injure Ireland's dearest as
pirations."

organize as Democrats or Republicans.
The coin fell as Republicans. They
proceeded to organize as the Republic
can party OF Hawaii, and drew up a
constitution for party organization,
giving the complete control to them
selves
At the meeting at which the organ
ization was to be accepted, however, a
large number OF Republicans came in
and changed the name to the Republi-
can club of Hawaii and remodeled the
constitution to that OF a Republican
club. leaving the organization OF the
party to the future. The president Of
the club is Clarence Crabbe, well
known and thoroughly reputable busi-
ness man. Turk and Lewis threaten
to pack the next club and reorganizc
along the lines originally proposed.

BLOOD|EST WEEK OF THE WHOLE WAR
In THE PHILIPPINES.
During ihe Las, Seven Days One Thousand
Filiplnos We're Killed and Wounded
lean Loss, Killed, 10 Wounded.

Last week was one Of the bloodiest
OF the war since the first days fighting
around Manila. Authentic reports,
mostly official, show total of 378 Fill
pinos killed. IL officers and 244 men
captured, and many wounded. The
number wounded is not guessable.
Considering that Filipinos entirely lack
ed hospital facilities, great majority
OF the wounded will die Probably the
weeks work finished 1000 insurgents.
The Americans total loss was nine kill
ed and 10 wounded. Two sergeants
and one private were killed in ambushes
while escorting provision trains.
The insurgents have been aggressive
in almost every province OF Iuzon.
Gen. Pho del Pillars band, numbering
800, which was out OF sight for three
months, the leader being reported kill
ed, has reappcared in its old field about
San Miguel. Pillar is supposed to be
again in command. He gave the Amer
lean garrison at San Miguel, consisting
OF three companies of the Thirty-hrst
infantry, with Gatling, three hours
fight, during night attack. The loss
OF the insurgents in this engagement is
not included in the foregoing total as
they removed their dead and wounded,
but presumably it was considerable.
Twenty Filipinos in the province OF
Batangas attacked Lieut.. Wonde, who
with eight men was scouting near San
Jose. The lieutenant and FIVE men were
wounded and one private was killed.
Scrgt Ledoius, of the Thirty-fifth in
fantry, was badly wounded in ambush

Marriage Of Earl Russell, oI England, In Nevada
Causes a Sensation In London.

The announcement and confirmation
of the marriage OF Earl John Francis
Stanley Russell and Mollie Cooke at
Reno, New, April Is, has created a
great sensation in London. 1t seems
that according to the English law Rus
sell is still legally married to the first
Countess Russell, who is now per-
former in the Tivoli Music Hall. In
1891 the Countess, who is daughter
OF Lady Scott applied for separation on
the ground OF cruelty. This was re-
fused and later litigation was ended by
the court of appeals refusing relief to
the couple.
Countess Russell claims she is the
earls legal wife. She was prostrated
by the news from America. Lady Scott
says her daughter has placed the matter
with her legal counsel.
A friend of Russell confirms the mar
riage, as does likewise a dispatch from
Reno, New, where the ceremony was
performed at the Riverside hotel on
Sunday, April IS, by Judge Benjamin
Curlcr Russell according to his
friend, with his bride are returning to
England next month.

Flood Of Indignation Over the Wire Trust Chair
mans Manipulation Of Steel Properties
for Speculative Purposes.

A movement Is under way to Dust
John w. Gates from the management OF
the American Steel and Wire Company
The principal step in this direction is
none other than petition to the gov
erning committee OF the New York
Stock Exchange, asking that the Wire
securities be taken off the stock list
unless John w. Gates be deposed as
manager OF the trust
Traders are especially bitter toward
Mr.. Gates. as they remember distinctly
his last years manipulation OF deal
which, though neither as bold nor as
big as the present alleged coup
brought large measure OF distress IN
its wake.
President Lambert is quoted as say
ing that the company made Si3,ooo,ooc
in net profits last year, and stood a
good show Of making $2oooo,ooo this
year. Yet Mr.. Gates is quoted as say
ing that the demand for the products
of the wire campany is not within sc
per cent. Of what it should be.
that probably all mills which the
American Steel and Wire Company
have shut down will be reopened soor
possibly within fortnight. From
other sources it is hinted that the plant:
will resume operations as early as mex
Monday. This but goes to confirm the
suspicion that there is nothing serious
ly the matter with the steel business
that the closing down was part o
the stock-jobbing deal.

There is no longer any question that

PRESIDENT refused to accept IL.
Diplomacy appears to have exhaust
ed itself at Constantinople, the sultan
having promised to pay the indemnity
CLAIMS, amounting to some 100000,
which promise was again renewed prior
10 Mr. Straus' departure 10 months ago.
What action the government will now
take to enforce the sutan's promise Is
not definitely known, but as the situa-
ton is critical it may result in Secretary
hay. sending the Turkish minister at
Washington his passports.
The question involved between the
two countries is no longer one resting
upon disputed points of international
law but upon the sultan's broken faith.
This is not his only promise he having
stated TO Our minister that he would
give his permit for the reconstruction
of the American college and school
buildings, but tip to the present time
the official permit, upon one excuse
and another, has been withheld.

MANY MILLS CLOSED.

pany have shut down IL OF their mills
located in Pittsburg, Pa. Cleveland,
o.: Joliet, H.; Waukegan, ILL.,; De
Kalb, Ind. New Castle, Pa, and An
derson, Ind.
Mr.. Gates said the cause OF the clos
ing down OF the mills was overproduc-
ton He also said he was unable ia
state when the mills would resume OPP
crations as they first would have to as
certain the extent OF the overproduc-
ton.
Mr.. Gates made another statement
later, in which he said that the IL mills
which had been closed had a daily ca
pacity OF from 5000 to 1000 tons. He
said that slack business was an addi-
tional reason for the suspension OF op-
erations. The best information is that
the mills will be closed indefinitely. 1t
is said that as many as 1000 men, boys
and girls will be affected by the shut
down.
Labor troubles in the building trades
are stated by President John w. Lam
bert. of the American Steel x Wire
Company. as the reason for orders is
sued Monday, closing down all the
plants OF the concern in the vicinity OF
Chicago; all those at Joliet, ILL.,, ex-
ceptng the Rockdale mill, and the ex-
tensive plant at Anderson Ind.
Twelve plants were ordered closed.
Thousands OF skilled workmen we're
temporarily suspended by the action

President Lambert said: Labor tfou-
bles are at the bottom OF it. Our mar
kct has been destroyed by the stopping
OF building labor, and we have had to
shut down until the accumulated stocks
are sold"
