A Pittsburg, Pa, telegram says: After three days incessant ram a flood unprecedented at this season swept down the MonongJhela and Allegheny rivers last night and ruined thousands of dollars worth of prop erty, caused a loss of three lives and threw out of employment thousands of workmen through the forced sus- pensions of industrial establishments. The lowlands in Pittsburg, Allegheny, South Sharpsburg and NcKeesport were inundated and nearly every plant fronting the two rivers has been shut down. Hundreds of families have been driven from home or have taken to the upper floors. At II a. m. today the river registered 25 feet ' inches, and was then stationary. It is believed that the worst is over.

the Top of the eShaft-FreQuentIy Struck by Lightning.

During May 17,752 visitors went to the top of the Washington monument, making a total of 1,S44,635 visitors since the shaft was opened to the public in October, 1888. Hardly a month of the spring and summer passes that the monument is not struck by lightning. While the struc- ture itself escaped last month, man who was standing on the lower floor of the monument, leaning against one of the iron columns which support the stairway, received Q shock of cleo tricity in his arm and shoulder. Two other men who were looking out of one of the windows at the top of the shaft narrowly escaped with their lives, as the lightning came in the window directly over their heads They were blinded for a moment, but escaped injury.

Biz Blow in China.

The steamer Idsumi Maru, which arrived at Victoria, B. C., on Satur- day, brought news from Hongkong of destructive typhOon which visited Tourane in the early part of last month and lasted fOrty-eight hours. During that time villages were de- stroyed and immense damage done to rice fields. Shipping also suffered, the harbor being laid bare. The casualties are estimated at between 1900 and 1900, and the remainder of the population, numbering about 45OO, are without food.
 There was another typhOon at Quin hon, which lasted three days and was even more destructive than the one at Tourane, although no mention is made of the loss of life. DesolatiOn extends for miles and tea and coffee planta tions were wrecked.

An Exhibition of Nerve.

For a sample of unadulterated
 nerve, that displayed by travelling tourist-not a hobo, but a gentleman over the Santa Fe Pacific, west of
 Seligman, last Friday, takes the bak- cry. The unfortunate man was beat
 ing his way east on the first section of No. 7, of which there were three sec tions. In trying to get from the en- zine to the blind" he lost his bal ance and fell between the tender and the baggage car, but to one side of the track. The baggage car passed over one of his limbs, cutting it off just above the ankle. After the limb was severed, the force of the fall in some way threw the unfortunate man down the embankment. nthis pitia- ble plight he yet retained presence of mind enough to climb back up the embankment to the track.
 The second section, which was closely following, coming along at this time, the unfortunate man stood on the remaining good leg and fran tically signaled the engineer of the approaching train to stop.
 The engineer saw his signals. One of the brakemen alighted as soon as the train slowed down" sufficiently to allow him to do so. He went back to the unfortunate man and signaled the third section, which stopped and picked them up. The limb was at tended to most intelligent y by the trainmen and the wounded man taken on into Soligman, where the wound was dressed by Dr. Tyroler, the com pany surgeon of that place. The sur geon states that the fortitude of the young man was remarkable, as he would take no anesthetic and had to be compelled before he would take any liquor as a stimulant. He was a promising young man whom misfor- tune had deprived of means with which to pay his fare, and he was try ing to make his way to his home some | where east.-Wiliiams News.

The agrarians of Germany are very
 much chagrined to think that Ger
 many negotiated a loan in the United
 States.
 Those democratic calamity bowling
 pessimists who recently foreshadowed
 the freezing out of the United States.
 in the Chinese question, from the con
 cert of the powers, are no doubt dis
 agreeably disappointed by the recent
 turn of affairs there, whereby it looks
 as if the policy of this country would
 be adopted.
 Senator Teller of Colorado still ex- presses his confidence in the ultimate
 triumph of the silver question. as he said few days ago: "The silver question is not dead and will be a live question in American politics for years to come, and I am firmly of the opinion that we will ultimately return to the bimetallic system, which is. in my judgment, the only system that can secure stability of prices and equity between the creditor and debtor" Mir. Teller is evidently very lonesome in his position on this ques- ton just now.
 Representative Crumpacker, of In diana. has introduced the first bill of the present session, making an ap- pOrtiOnment of representatives in con gress under the eleventh census" It provides for 365 representatives as against 357 at present.

The following gain | two: Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey. ! Pennsylvania and Texas. New York gains three. The following lose one: Kansas, Nebraska and West Virginia. Louisiana loses two, Mississippi and South Carolina three; North Carolina four.
 In the closing paragraph of Presi- dent McKinley's message to congress he says: Tn our great prosperity We must guard against the danger it in vites of extravaganza in government expenditures and appropriations. In this great era of business activity and caution is not untimely. Our growing power brings with it and perils. It must not be used to invite conflicts. nor for op- pression, but for the more effective maintenance of those principles of equality and justice upon which our institutions and happiness depend. Let us bear in mind that the founda- ion of our government is liberty, its peace.
 SzThe Phenix Enterprise serves this awful note of warning on its readers: The Enterprise insists that the re- publican policies have been indorsed l Dy the voters and Mckinley given full 'ein. There is no need of lodging lround about it. If Mckinley puts , his country in Mark Hanna's pocket Is kingdom for his Christmas pres mt the voters are responsible for it, md they cannot dodge the issue" Now the Enterprise certainly has not ound any one denying the insist ] 'nce' of the opening sentence of the ( bOve. Of course the republican pol cies have been endorsed, and over i yhelmingly endorsed, by the voters, nd the endOrsers have no fear of the :, esults. Even the intelligent demo 2 rats, among those who are not poll T icians, in this meek of woods" are ather pleased than otherwise at the : too.

Forest Reserves.

There are now thirty-eight forest reservations, embracing an area of 46.772. .129 acres in thirteen different states and territories. In charge of these reserves are nine superinten- dents, thirty-nine supervisors and 445 rangers, whose duty it is to keep a vigilant watch for trespassers and se- cure evidence for their prosecution. They are also required to be on the lookout for fires and use their best efforts to preserve the few great forests that are now remaining in the noun tain states.
 Since July 1, 1899, up to November 20 last, there were 66 cases of depre- dation upon the forest reserves and other government lands. involving timber valued at S735, ,722; POP suits were brought in the civil courts to re- cover S69i, ,l49; 206 persons were in dicted and prosecuted in the criminal courts, and l5l cases were settled by the payment of Sii6i0 by way of compromise. This is great improve ment over previous years, and gives Secretary Hitchcock encouragement in the enforcement of the timber laws.

 The German foreign office declines to say what Germany's answer will be to the latest note from the United states, but 1t is learned from various reliable sources that Germany before replying desires to hear from her rep resentatives at the various European capitals. If Germany should find that she is in danger of being isolated through insisting on the extreme pun ishments, her answer to the United States will be favorable. If she finds enough powers siding with her, she will adhere to the original demands.
