The senate committee on elections to-
night decided the Buschow-Ho hopkins and
Finley-Ross contest. Buschow and Fin

/ seated. In the Finley-Ross contest the
committee threw out the entire vote of
one commissioner district in Barton

part of the fusion judges and clerks Of

sion county officials had fixed the tickets.
With this district thrown out Finley had

The newspapers from the western part
of the State bring news of great damage
done by the recent rains and consequent
flooded streams. Throughout that whole
section the rainfall was excessive, the
wind was high and the temperature low,
with a considerable fall of snow.
In Cleveland and adjoining counties all
bottom lands were oVerfowed and many
costly and important bridges were
washed away completely or damaged.
In Lenoir and Caldwell counties the
storm was the most severe ever known
for this time of the year. The Yadkin
changed its course in several places and
ali bottom land on the creeks and rivers
will have to be re-plowed and planted
Land IS much damaged, and the roads are
almost impossible for the mud.
The storm was especially severe in
Wilkes. Surry and Yadkin. Along the
Yad1in river are destroyed bridges, i'm
passable roads, wrecked telephone lines
and railroad wash-outs. The Wilkesboro
Chronicle estimates the damage to farm
lands at from 100000 to S400 900, and

DEATH FROM SMALLPOX
The Superintendent of Health Empowered to
Order Compulsory Vaccination of the
People of Wake County.

After consideration OF the smallpox Sit
uation in the counay and of the necessity
for prevention of further spread OF the
disease, the superintendent of Health was
directed to purchase six disinfectant
lamps for use in cases that may be dis
covered in the county, and the following
resolution was adopted
Whereas, in the opinion of the Sani-
tary Committee of Wake County, on ac-
count Of the increasing prevalence of
smallpox in some sections CT said county,
compulsory vaccination is necessary for
safety of the health of the public,
Resolved, That the County Superin-
tendent of Health, of Wake County be-
and he is hereby authorized, empowered
and instructed to vaecinate all persons
in Wake county whom he shall see fit, in
any section of said county, and to en-
force compulsory vaccination in such
cases against the consent of such person
Resolved further, That the County
Superintendent Of Health shall have the
power and authority to delegate and ap-
point any reputable physician in Wake
county to perform said vaccination and
enforce the same compulsorily, said ply
sician to exercise the same discretion as
to the necessity and propriety of com
pelling vaccination in any case, as is

reached the high watermark Of August
three years ago. This, however, was
more disastrous freshet than that three
years ago, and in fact more damage has
been done by it to lands etc. than by any
freshet in the history of the county un-
less it was the big freshet in 1878. 1t is
hard to make anything approaching a COR
rect estimate.
Lands along the river and streams
were freshly plowed. The sweep Of the
streams carried the soil away as deep
as plowed and in many places gutted
great holes and reservoirs about the bet
toms and in other places piled up great
ridges of white sand. Many people had
planted corn. 1t was washed away or
land along the Yadkin clear through the
country looks almost like a wreck, so far
as we can learn.
Not half of the corn lands can be
replanted. Considerable damage was
done to the railroad track, so that the
trains did not come up Saturday at all
A force was at work all day Sunday, and
the train came in Monday The telephone
exchange sustained considerable damage.
All the poles across the bottom were
washed down and the wires tangled and
broken. Several hundred dollars will be
required to repair the lines. Bridges
over the smaller streams were swept
away and the roads generally are badly
washed. 1t is a gloomy time just now
for the farmers and for us all.

Smallpox now exists to a considerable
extent in this county and the authorities
are beginning to seriously consider the
question of how it may be stamped out.
The disease seems to be pretty well
scattered, and on Wednesday there was
a death from it in the northern part of
the county The victim was Mr.. Robert
Norwood, a well to-do young farmer,
who leaves a wife and two children
Mr.. Norwood served on the grand jury
here at the March term of the court; a
negro woman came before the jury as a
witness and it was later discovered that
she had SMALLPOX. Mr.. Norwood, it is
supposed, contracted the disease at that
time. 1t broke out upon his return home
and on Wednesday provel fatal.
In view of this situation, the County
Sanitary Committee met yesterday and
took action whereby it is hoped the
epidemic may be checked in the rural dis
tricts. There is no further danger in
Raleigh, nearly every person in the city
having been vaccinated.

THE INTERVIEW WITH MCKINLEY SHORT
At Night the Delegation Again Visit the White
House Where State Dinner is Given
by the President 10 Their
Honor.
(By the Associated Press }

Washington, April 25-The Cuban del
egation from the convention framing
constitution for the new island republic,
saw President Mckinley twice today, once
in the early part of the day when there
were introductions and a formal exchange
of expressions of friendship between the
United States and Cuba and again at
night when the members of the delega-
tion we're the guests of honor at state
dinner at the White House.
The real business which brought the
delegation here was transacted with Sec
retary Root at the War Department, the
President in the forenoon interview at the
White House saying to the delegates that
he would confer with the Secretary who
would act as his representative in con-
ferences over the Cuban situation. The
delegation and Secretary Root were clos
eted for some hours in the afternoon in
a discussion of the relations of the island
TO the United States. Secrecy was OBJ
served as to the conference, the state
ment being made that after results were
reached some news as to the conclusions
might be made public.
Matters Of Importance were not touched
upon in the interview between the Presi-
dent and the delegation, the conversation
being alost wholly formal. Senior Capote
in his address to the President spoke of
the desire of the Cubans to have the
closest possible relations with the United
States, He said that United States sol
diers and Cubans had fought side by side,
and driven Spain from the island and the
ties between the two countries were
bound in blood. The relationship there
fore, between the countries should al
ways be most amicable and closer than
that which usually exists between ma
tions. He spoke of the gratitude which
Cuba felt to the United States for the
assistance rendered in her liberation.
In response the President expressed his
pleasure at meeting the delegation and
desired through them to extend his kind
est wish to the people of the island. He
said that his interest in Cuba always
had been very great and he made ref
erence to messages he had sent to Con-
gress concerning the island He congrat-
ulated the members of the delegation
upon being members of the Cuban con-
stitutional convention. Concerning the
object of the delegations visit, the Pres
ident said he would confer with the Sec
retary of War, and the Secretary having
an intimate knowledge of the situation,
would confer with the delegation.
The Cuban delegates began their round
of official visits and conferences today by
going to the War Department at eleven
O'Clock for the first formal meeting with
Secretary Root. They were then escorted
