Sir Alfred kicks Objects to American
 Locomotives.

London, May 23.-Sir Alfred Hicks, conservative, former president of the British Iron Trade Association, in the House of Commons today protested against railroads which were govern mentally controlled, especially in Bur nah and Egypt, continuing buying American locomotives, when the re- port of the inspector of Burmah rail- roads mentioned by Lord Hamilton, the Indian secretary, in the House on May 5, showed they required more repairs and more coal than locomotives of British make.
 Sir Alfred Hickman also made alle- gations against the way an American firm is constructing the great viaduct in Burmah.

FOURTEEN LIVES
 LOST IN FLOOD
Tennessee Reached Height of 35 Feet But is Falling.
 Great Damage.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 23.-The Tennes- see river reached the height of S5.s feet at this place this afternoon at o'clock, and is slowly falling. It's tributaries in upper east Tennessee where the greatest loss has resulted from the flood, however. have rapidly receded into their banks, revealing wreckage of houses and bridges and ruined crops.
 The loss of life thus far reported az gregates fourteen, though it Is not i'm probable that there are others. Those re- ported are as follows:
 Green Susong, colored.
 Mrs M. c. Carson.
 =. Rankin, little girl.
 Miss Mollie Talley.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Gregg and an unknown man, all of Elizabethton.
 Samuel Durham and wife, Watauga.
 Milton Boyd, Wallace, Va.
 Henry Mussik. of Sullivan County.
 Three children of Joseph Hill. Ripley Island
 Tom Mathes, Maynardville.
 At Knoxville the flood did no great amount of damage. The Omega steamer, the largest vessel plying the Tennessee above Chattanooga, was wrecked this afternoon being total loss. The steam CT was docked for repairs to her hull. The flood had nearly submerged the boat, when a loosened raft of logs crushed her into kfndling wood and sent the wreck ,age floating away. The vessel was built at a cost of about S4OOO.
 Traffic on the Southern Railway via Bristol and over the Nashville and Western division may be delayed for over a month until the bridges are repaired.
 The Southern hopes to handle trains by Asheville and Spartanburg to and from the east tomorrow, while the road through Asheville via Salisbury will not be in use for several days.

MONDAY evenings Denver Post roasted
the smaller counties Of this state because
they are not endeavering to make the
Mountain and Plain Festival big sue
cess. The Post was all right when ii
said the Denver papers always helped
out the smaller counties and city by ad-
vertising their affairs, but it was way of
when 1t said Denver people also helped.
We have had sample of that in this
city OF such recent date that it is i'm
possible to forget.
No matter when Denver has anything
1t always has out the big mitl to grab up
everything that outside citizens will
give, but when outsiders, say like Cen
tral City with its Elks' Fair, have any
thing Denverites are two busy to leave
that town. When the Elk's Fair was in
Denver dozens OF Gilpinites went down
nd bloyed their money, not in and 10
ent pieces, but in anything they hap
ened I'd have and we venture to say
The Denver Fair got not less that 500
from Gilpin county. Now Central City
has a fair, % people come from Denver.
They have pocket full Of dimes and
nickels, AMI it is worse than pulling
teeth to get even them, and although
they Tired special to come to town
with, they leave again at 10 o'clotk, fear
ing their mammas might get anxious ii
they stayed later.
Now what is :true Of these folk is
true Of Denver people generally. When
Denver wants anything nothing is to
good from their country cousins. but
when these cousins wish any help they
find their friends out OF town, or broke
or some such thing.

THE CHINESE COURT
Ii Will Be In Pekin By
 January
The Reason Given For the Delay Is the Illness of the Empress Dow ager - Several Customs Disputes Have Arisen.

Pekin, Dec. An edict has been re- ceived fixing January II as the date for the arrival of the court at Pekin. The reason given for the delay is the illness of the dowager empress.
 Prince Ching arrived at Paoting flu today. He will meet there Prince Chun, brother of the emperor, who re- gently returned from Germany. The latter is en route to Kaifeng-fu.
 Captain Brewster today handed over the temple of agriculture to the Chi nese. Major Robertson was i'll and could not be present at the ceremony, Captain Brewster acting in his stead. Hu Yu Fen, military governor of Pe- kin, in thanking the Americans. said that the temple was in q better state Of preservation than any of the prop erty that had been held by the allies. Its condition. he added, was in marked contrast to that of the temple of hea- ven. which the Chinese declare the English footed of bronze urns and other vaiuab bIes. Since the temple of heaven was returned to the Chinese even the bronze hardware and nails in the build ing have been stolen
 The temple of agriculture was the last important building held by the al lies in Pe-in.
 The ministers have declined to an swer the request made by Sir Robert Hart. imperial commissioner of mari time customs, for an interpretation Of certain parts of the protocol in regard to the customs.
 The question was brought up by the smuggling into Chefoo of a case of firearms. In former times these would have been confiscated by the Chinese officials, but such action now would defeat the intention of the protocol.
 There are also several disputes in re gard to certain cargoes. the importers claiming that they are exempt from the , per cent effective duty because they were shipped within the limit Of ten days after the signing of the protocol and were delayed en roUte- There is a large margin for fraud in these mat ters. Sir Robert Hart will instruct his subordinates in the customs depart ment to be liberal in their decisions of technical questions.

FAVORS NICARAGUA
The Panama Route Would Be Cheaper of Construction and Maintenance But the Great Purposes of Com merce Save That of West South American Ports Would Be Better Served hy the Nicaragua Route.

Washington, Dec 4-The report of the Isthmian Canal Commission was sent to congress today. The commits sion, as anticipated several weeks ago. fsvo:s the Nicarasuan route, and makes an estimate of s1ss, ,s64.c62. as the total cost Of construction of the canal through Nicara qua.
 The report says the Panama route is feasible as a sea-ievel canal, while the Nicaragua route must be by locks, but that Lake Nicaragua will furnish an inexhaustible supply of water for the canal. The Nicaragua route has no natural harbors at either end, but satisfactory harbors may be con structed. Harbors already exist at each end of the Panama route. but consid- erable work must be done at the en- trance of the harbor on the Atlantic side. With an adequate force and plant the commission estimates that the Nicaragua canal can be completed in six years, exclusive of two years for preparations Ten years is estimated to be necessary to complete the work at Panama.
 Tte total length of the Nicaragua route is 1S3 miles. and the Panama route f9 miles. The estimated cost of operating and maintaining the Nic- aragua canal annually would be Si.- 250,0CO greater than that the the Pan- ana canal The estimated time for deep cra0g1t vessel to pass through the Panama canal is twelve hours and through the Nicaragua canal, thirty three hours
 The Nicaragua route. the report says, Is more advantageous for com merce, save that originating on the west coast of South America For gulf points, ithe advantage is two days. and for most of the ports on the At lantic and Pacific, one day The Nic- arsgua route is said to be better for sailing vessels on account Of the favor ing winds. Hygienic conditions are also favorable at Nicaragua.
 The commission says the United States should acquire control of a strin Of territory ten miles wide from sea to sea, through which to build the canal The consent of Nicaragua and Costa Rica must be obtained to construct the canal, but the report says this easily can Dc secured. The concessions grant ed by ti.e Colombian government to the Panama company have many years to run, and new concessions cannot be granted to the United States.
 The report concludes as follows: After considering all the facts de- veloped by the investigation made by the commission, the actual condition as it now stands. and having consid- cred the terms offered by the new Panama company, this commission is of the opinion that the most practi- cable and feasible route for the canal. to be under the control. mana cement and ownership of the United States, is that known as the Nicaragua route"
