OMAHA, Neb, Tune 16-Water in un-
measured quantities fell today in Nebras-
ka. The deluge was accompanied by a
gale of wind and an unusual display of
electricity In Omaha 2.22 inches of rain
fell during the afternoon. From all points
in this vicinity have come reports of lives
lost and property damaged by lightning,
and houses and trees driven from their
footing by the fierce wind. None of the
railroads entering this city escaped, and
many trains are badly delayed by wash
cuts
In Omaha the street car service was
badly disabled, and the streets and base
ments were flooded. Business men and
shoppers were caught down town by -
hundred, and restaurants were swamp
ed until long after the noon hour.
The storm ragged with increasing fierce
ness to the southwark, and did heavy
damage at Fort Crook. The Burlington
and Missouri railroads suffered three
washouts, the most important being on
the line eight miles out of Omaha, be-

VICE PRESIDENTIAL PUZZLE.

served to turn attention to New York
Ot course there is no real breach be-
tween Senator Hanna and Senator PIatt
though recently, perhaps a little sore
ness exists The New York senator does
not want any interference in New York
by the chairman of the Republican ma
tonal committee.
When Mr.. Bliss was first pl a forward
for the second place, it was well known
that he was backed by Mr. Hanna. Mr.
Bliss has never been a favorite with Mr..
Platt, and that was the beginning There
Is yet a lingering belief that if New
fork would come solidly forward for
Bliss he could be induced to accent.
rms, however, is not likely, and the be-
lief is general that Senator Platt stands
in the way.
The allusions which Mr. Hanna has
made to Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff form an
other source of irritation, and probably
the manner in which the Ohio senator
received the announcement of OdeIl,s
candidacy, contributed to the unpleasant
feeling already engendered between the
two leaders. If New York decides to
present Odel 1t is said that he will have
the solid delegation behind him, although
the Woodruff boomers claim a majority
for their man. Another New York sug-
gestion is Gen. Francis Greene. and his

Big National Fight Is Promised in the Conven-
ton Over the Action taken by Com
mittee in Contest Cases.

PHILADELPHIA, June 16.-The feat
bre of the situation which confronts Re-
publican hosts at the close of the week
preceding the assembly of the conven-
ton. is the absolutely unanimous disposi-
tiOn to carry out fully the wishes of the
president IN everything relating to the
coming convention. As the clans from
each quarter Of the country gather the
overwhelming sentiment is that, having
served one good term, Mckinley deserves
another, and that good faith and good
politics demand that the wishes of the
candidate as nearly as can be ascer-
tained shall be respected in the matter
of the vice presidency as we'll as plat
form upon which he is to go to the
country.
The vice presidency is the uppermost
topic in the minds of the leaders as well
as rank and file. 1t is the only thing in
contention and that question would
cease very quickly If anybody was
authorized to say exactly what the presi-
dent wants. If there is any plenipoten-
tiary Of the president here he has not
yet presented his credentials The men
who are popularity supposed to be Me
lar to disclaim any preference whatever
and their rcticence in proclatming a can
didate leads the rank and file to infer
that the president has declared hands
off" The result is that anybody and
everybody who has a candidate is at
liberty to boom him to his hearts con-
tent for the time being at least

Mr.. Payne, himself did not press a vote
on it, but recommended its reference to
the chairman cf the national committee
saying that he felt it had already served
a good purpose in its influence upon the
different delegations, and he did NOT care
to ask any further action upon it. Tho
general opinion of the committeereo
seemed to be that the president shouIa
not be brought into the matter at this

CONTESTS DISPOSED OF.
Delaware and Alabama Are Out in
the Cold.

PHILADELPHIA, June 16.-The con-
test over the Texas state delegates was
decided in favor of the Hawley delegates,
the names of Hawley, Ferguson, Green
and Rogers being placed on the tenn
ptrary roll. The hearing in the case con-
sumed the greater part of the afternoon.
The argument was made for the Green
delegation by Gen. w. w. Dudley and
District Delegate Love, and for Hawley
followers by State Senator Burns. The
arguments were generally devoted to
recital of the facts in the controversy
over the members of the national com
mittee except in the case of Mr.. Love,
who made jealous defense of Mr..
Green, and also of the colored men en-
gagged with him in the controversy.
In the Fifth district of Mississippi the
representation was divided between the
two factions. The contest was over the
regularity of the convention. R. A. Sim

SENATOR PLATT ILL.
HIS CONDITION Is CONSIDERED
SERIOUS.

PHILADELPHIA, June 49, - Senator
Thomas Platt is in a serious condition to-
night, and his friends are worried about
him. The senator sustained a fracture
of his ribs in his New York Office yester-
day, by falling against a chair. Senator
Platt made the journey from New York
this afternoon, accompanied by his ply
sician.
While Senator Platt's condition may not
be regarded as critical 1t is said his ex-
ertion to prevent his real condition from
being made known has weakened him per-
ceptibly and thrown him into temporary
fever.
