the ratification Of the Paris treaty, by

Republicanism, then Col Lee himself

GREAT FLOOD IN 4 CITY.
Damage Estimated at MiIIion,
but no Lives Lost.

Cleveland, O., Sept. With the
breaking of dawn this morning the citi-
zens of Cleveland awoke to look upon
scene of unparalleled devastation
and destruction caused by raging
food. While the entire city was more
or less affected, the great volume of
raging water vented its anger over
miles of the eastern portion Of the
city and caused an amount Of damage
appro1imated at 81, 600, 600.
The appalling overflow was caused
by terrific rain that commenced to
fall shortly after 2 o'clock. 1t turned
into perfect cloud burst between the
hours of 8 and 5 and then continued
with great force until nearly 10 O'Clock.
The storm, according to the weather
officials was the heaviest that ever
swept over cleveland since the estab-
lishment of government bureau in
this city over forty years ago.
That no lives were lost is nothing
short Of miracle as stories Of thrill
ing escapes from the water on seve-
raj Of the principal resident streets
of the city are told.
The surging waters spread over, an
area in the east end nearly eight
miles long and mile and half wide.
This extended from Woodland Hills
avenue to East Cleveland and back to
East Madison avenue.
Great volumes of water poured over
from Giddings and Doan Brooks,
down Quincy street, swamped Vienna
street, rushed over Cedar avenue
back over on East Prospect street,
rushed like mill race down Lincoln
avenue to Euclid avenue and then on
to Glen Park place where houses were
undermined as though built of straw
and almost inredible damage was
done to streets and property.

COTTON CROP PROSPECTS.
What New Orleans Trade has TO
Say About the Outlook.

New Orleans, August 31.-In con-
nection with its regular review of the
movement and conditions in the cot
ton trade the New. Orleans Trade In
dex will say tomorrow concerning the
crop Of the commercial year just open
ing;
move in the western districts and first
bales have been numerous in all sec
tions. The prospects of the crop are,
upon the whole, less favorable to
large yield than was generally accept
ed a month ago. Some improvement
in conditions was made during the
first days of August, but latterly COM
plants of damage by continued
drought in Central and North Central
Texas have been frequent. In view of
the facts shown in the rain table,
compiled from Government record,
it may be questioned whether these
complaints are, in all cases, we'll foun-
ded. That some points have suffered
is plain, but the moisture recorded,
while not heavy, has beent 90 generally
distributed to make an absolute failure
probable. In the east the complaint
has been from the reverse cause. Too
much rain, causing rust and shedding,
reducing, it is said, previously fair
prospect to very Indifferent promise.
The section tributary to New Orleans
has apparently Jared better than other
portions of the belt. It's crop is in
good condition. -
