The navy has hitherto been com
monty regarded as the Junior branch
of the nations militant service. subor-
dinate in rank to the army. But now
it becomes the senior branch, because
Its head is an admiral, whose rank is
technically two grades higher than
that of a major-gsneral who is now
the highest officer in the army. That
is one of the consequences of war IN
which the navy had greater opportuni-
ties of distinction than the army.

cL0UDBURST IN TEXAS.
Thirty to Forty Italians Employed on the
Sheep Ranches DrOwned-Many Flocks
Of Sheep Lost.

Chicago, Sept. ga dispatch ia
the Times-Herald from Dallas, Tex
says: A cloudburst in the Nueces
river country, 80 miles west of the
Southern Pacific road, resulting in a
terrific food and much loss of life,
was reported last night. Meager de-
tails have been received, but It is
claimed that from 30 to 40 Italians
employed on the sheep ranches were
drowned and all the ranches swamped.
Many focks of sheep have been lost
and large amount of property de-
stroyed.
Reports indicate that the heaviest
damage is at San Angelo, although
many bridges in Brentwood have
been wrecked or injured. 1t is also
feared many lives have been lost. The
last telegram from Brentwood, sent
out at about 10 a. m, stated that the
town was flooded and entirely sur
rounded by water, and that people and
goods were being removed to places
of safety in rowboats and RATS.
Bulletins from Temple state that
the tracks of the Gulf, Colorado &
Santa Fe railroad are under water to
the depth of Is feet south of Brown
wood, and that nothing can be heard
from places up the line. The, rain is
pouring down and streams still ris-
ing. The country districts cannot DO

HANNA INTERVIEWED.
The Senator Says That His Speech at CHI

quoted and Garbled.

Cleveland, Sept. Ex-senator Hanna
left for New York yesterday evening.
He will remain at the republican head
quarters there for two or three weeks,
and will then return to Chicago. In
an interview he said: "The speech
made in Chicago on the so-called trust
issue was misquoted and garbled.
What I said was that there were no
trusts in the meaning of the law.
When said that | did not say that
there are no combinations Of capital
nor did say that there are no COM
binations that work injustice to the
people. This so-called trust issue is
nothing more than bugaboo Of
Bryan's to catch votes What anti
trust laws have been enacted have
been enacted by the republicans. On
the so-called trust issue Bryan is on
the defensive. He should tell why
the democratic party have never sup
ported nor proposed any legislation to
regulate the commercial combinations
of the country. Bryan cannot de-
fend the democratic party on that
issue, and it, with the issue of inn

ZION ELDERS MoBBED.
They Ar" Made I" Ds "b@ and Thes
Daub'd q -r with vxr,sh from
Head tn Foot,

Mansfield, O., Sept. 24.-Another
mob broke loose here yesterday morn
ing and Elders Ephrias Brassinger,
of Button. and silas Moot, of Lima,
were, its victims. The two elders got
of an Erie train early yesterday
morning unknown to the authorities.
They were recognized by small
crowd at the depot which refused TO
let them enter cab. They followed
them up the street and surrounded
them near the center Of the city.
They were taken by the mob to the
Richland buggy works where Bras.
singer disrobed, but the crowd tore
Moot's clothing from his body as he
refused to disrobe himself. A paint
bucket and brush were then secured
and smokestack varnish, a tar-like
substance, was daubed over them from
head to foot. II was matted in their
hair and no part of their bodies es-
capped but their faces. Their bodies
were then partially covered with their
clothing and the elders were marched
to the home of E. H. Leiby, a Zion
follower here who was driven out of
the city Sunday week. There they
promised not to return to Mansfield,
but later they said that they agreed
not to return unless Overseer Piper or.
dered them to come. They then were
marched to the city prison and i'm
prisoned. By applications Of lard and
benzine the black varnish was cut and
after new outfits of clothing were
furnished they were deported on
Pennsylvania train at noon.
