GOVERNOR ORMAN
SCORES ANOTHER VETO

Denver, Colo, April 22.-Governor
Orman has vetoed House bill No. "a,
ITO provide for the garnishment of the
state, counties. municipal corporations
and school districts" The veto mes
sage says:
THAT this bill has especially to do
with the garnishment upon writs of at
tachment and execution, of the salaries
earned by any officer or ennloye Of the
state, counties, cities and school dis
tricts during his term Of otfice, us our
courts have uniformly held that stat
utes providing for the punishment Of
the salaries of such officials were void,
upon the grounds of public policy.
That is to say, that the official il ser.
want Of the state and as such he owes a
duty to the state that he cannot per-
form II his means of subsistence are
always to be interfered with while he
is engaged In the performance of those
duties.
while 1t is morally right that n pub
lie official should pay his debts, still the
higher right must prevail, that is, that
he must be SO situated that his services
to the state cannot be interfered with.
In other words, 1t is the interest of the
public and not the Individual that must
be 1Oked to.
Another provision Of the bill i'm
poses the service Of summons and
writs of attachment upon the auditor
Of state. The answering of these pa
pers necessarily involves expense.
Such expense must apparently be paid
from the public treasury. and thus. in
directly. the public moneys are used
to aid the collection Of private debts"

DESTRUCTIVE STORM STRIKES
PENNSYLVANIA AND OHIO

Pittsburs, Pa, April 21.-The most
widespread and destructive storm.
from q material point Of view, ever
known here. has passed. 1t has left a
zone OF ruin 200 miles in diameter, 1t
was unusual in that it possessed 80
many different features.
Cities seventy miles from Pittsburc
were tied up by one Of the worst snow
storms ever known. While the snow
fall was from eighteen inches to three
feet deep, which is not extraordinary,
the snow was so wet that it chung in
weighty masses to shade and fruit
trees and electric wires and poles,
bearing them to the earth. 1t settled
on steam and street railways like wet
sand, stopping all traffic and making
Professionalism almost impossible. The
fall was so heavy and spontaneous in
. some places that the residents declare
! It seemed like the bursting of q snow
few miles away from these unfor-
tuAate towns were municipalities in
just as dire straits from rain, but with
speedier prospect for relief, as the rain
will run OF faster than the snow can
melt, yet here traffic was practically
suspended. Water 0verfowed and
washed out railroad tracks and hill
sides came down and buried the rails
In addition, nearly every town on the
Ohio river between Pittsburg and
Wheeling is in darkness tonight. Elec-
trio light plants or their wires are dam
aged and the gas in the mains is gen.
orally turned OF to prevent explosions.
30 half million or more people to-
night are cropping about in the dark.
A remarkable feature of the storm Is
that but few fatalities directly attribu-
table to this cause have beeen report
ed. A railrOader. caught in a wreck
caused by landslide, and the death
OF an old woman from shock are the
only ones known so far. There may
be others, but us communication is cut
OF from many populous places, 1t will
be the end of the week before the total
can be footed up.
The money loss is just rs difficult to
foot up. 1t may reach 100000. The
railroads think they have lost $1,000
600. The loss Of wages to the army of
workers in manufacturing plants up
and down the rivers will mount up to
100000, and the repairs to plants Will
be large sum. The damage to stores,
stock, residences and furniture in
P1ttSburg, Allegheny and towns and
cities down the Ohio will probably
reach 100000.
The telegraph companies have suf-
fered severely, but cannot yet compute
their losses.

CHICAGO & NORTHWESTERN
MAY BUILD INTO DENVER

Denver, Colo, April 22.-Stockhold-
: err Of the Chicago 4 Northwestern
and the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapo-
Ii Il Omaha railroads will be asked to
at once ratify plans for the extension
Of the Northwestern into Denver.
The connection il from Valentine,
Nebraska. to Scranton, Colorado, and
from Valentine to Mitchell, South Da-
kota. 1t ID expected that the action of
the stockholders will be unanimously
in favor Of the plans.
When the board Of directors Of the
Chicago & Northwestern met last
Wednesday in New York 1t took UP the
question Of the extension and decided
to submit the plan to the stockholders
at once, SO that no delay would be en-
countered in the construction of the
road. 1t Is presumed that the voting,
which began Saturday. will be finished
within a week or ten days, and by May
18th at farthest.
By the construction Of the line into
Denver, tile Northwestern will have
the short cut from st. Paul and Min
neapolis to Denver, and, in connection
with the Denver & Rio Grande and
Rio Grande Western, to Ogden, thus
enabling 1t to fight the Northern Pa
ctfic-Grea Northern Burlington combi-
nation. The Northwestern, with its
new line and short line In Nebraska,
will also be In position Of equality
with the triple alliance In handling
Chicago business. and with its Black
Hills and Wyoming line will be able
to fight the triumvirate for the Black
Hills trade.
1t is reported also that the plans sub
mitted to the stockholders include an

EXPORT TRADE BRINGS
In A FLOOD OF GOLD

Washington, d. c., April 22.-The
fiscal year 1901 seems likely to exceed
: any preceding year in its record Of ex-
.ports from the United States. The
STEADY growth OF our exports from
- 1892 600 600 in 1870 to 1895 ,OOO, 600 In
1880. $1,O30,OOO,OOO In 1892 and ST.
S94, OOO,O In 1900 has been a subject
of much attention and much favorable
comment, but it seems that 1901 is to
surpass the record of the year 1900
and bring the export figure nearly II
not quite to the 81 500, 100000 mark.
The March import and. export figures
just completed by the treasury bureau
of statistics shows total expectation
months ending with March, 1901, Of
$1,14O, 49, 2S, or $S6,54O O32 in excess
of last year, which held the highest
record in the history Of our export
trade.
Another interesting fact developed
by the March figures of our foreign
commerce ia that imports seem likely
to show decided decrease In 1901 as
compared with 1900, while the exports
are showing the Increase above ind!-
Gated. The figures of the nine months
ending. with March, 1901, show a de-
crease Of $40, 202 $3.50 In the imports
as compared with those of the CORE
spending months In the preceding
year. Thus the excess of exports over
imports in the nine months under dis
cussion is more than 100000 tO
greater than In the corresponding
months of last year and far beyond
the figures of any preceding year. The
excess Of exports over imports in the
nine months ending March, 1901, is
$40, 6S7 1897, as against Sail, S54 .660 in
the corresponding months of 1000, an
inc-ease Of $12s, s32, GIL in the net ex-

The salaries of lawmakers in many
parts Of Europe seem trifiing, accord
ing to American standards. In Lon
don, for instance. there are $50 mem.
bers of the upper and $50 in the lower
branch. The former get no pay at all
and the latter but $500 year. And II
any session lasts longer than -four
months they are paid at the rate OF
$3.50 day additional. The parliament
Of Holland comprises 100 members In
two houses. Members of the upper
house receive 81 day and of the sec
Ond body $500 year and mileage. The
parliament Of Holland costs $500. 600 a
year.

In addition there is the enormous In
direct damage caused by the complete
suspension Of trade. What that
amounts to NO one can determine ex-
actly, and estimates simply reflect the
conservative or radical character of
the cOmputer.
At Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, the
damage by the flood and storm was
considerable.
The first direct communication from
Washington, Pennsylvania, tonight
says: CHARTERS creek is raging tor
rent and has overfowcd its banks in
hundreds of places.
Waynesburg is isolated and many
houses there are flooded.
At Aticanna about twenty houses
were wrecked.
Fifty thousand workers are sun ering
from enforced idleness.
Big land slides occurred on the Lake
Erie and Baltimore Il Ohio at Shosho,
on the Panhandle on the South Side,
the Bessemer at several points and the
Allegheny Valley near Franklin, Penn
sylvania. The slide at Shosho was $50
feet long, and 1t required fourteen
hours work to clear one track.
The submerged districts in Pittsburg
and Allegheny are to-day scene OF
AFFECT misery. Cellars and in some
instances the first floors of stores and
dwellings, are covered with water.
Where the flood has subsidized it has
left behind greasy, yellow scum two
to three inches deep.
Cincinnati, April 21.-There has been
more alarm throughout the Ohio val
ley to-day on account Of floods than at
any period since February, 1884, when
the Ohio river reached it's highest
stage Of seventy-one feet nine inches
at this city. Most of the inhabitants
of the valley spent the night in antici-
patton of the worst flood ever known
In the valley, US they will not know
until tomorrow that the water has
begun falling ut Pittsburg.
Until this news reached river men
here tonight it was feared that the
record of 1884 might be broken, but
now 1t is generally believed that the
river will not exceed the floods Of Feb
ruary, 1897, and of March, 1893, when
1t reached sixty-one feet at Cincinnati.
The present flood Is the worst that
has ever been known SO late in the
spring., The first week in April, 1886.
the river reached fifty-fve feet and
nine inches In this city, and that was
the highest water ever known SO late
in the spring. There has been no flood
in the Ohio valley since March, 1893.
