st. Petersburg, June ga states
man occupying one Of the highest po-
sitions here, suggests that the advice
Of Mr.. Hitchcock, secretary of the in
terror, should be taken as to the Diff
ferences between Russia and the Unit
ed States. He formed a high estimate
Of Mr. Hitchcock's intelligence and his
rapid grasp of Russian matters while
that gentleman was here as the dip
lomatic representative of the United
States. He is confident Secretary
Hitchcock will promptly present the
sugar question in It's true light. and
will also fully appreciate the serious
ness of the present situation in view
of the relations existing between Rus
sia and the states. Neither Of these
matters, he says. appears to have
come within Secretary Cages compre-

gS@ Richmond Va, June 26.--A Dis

food disaster says there is no possi-
BILE way yet to estimate the loss Of life
and property u 4 Hundreds of people
are either missing or are reported
missing and a large number Sof dead
bodies have %5s been recovered. The
scene Of the foods course battles de-

railroad cars, broken and splintered
household furniture and now and then
the corpse Of 8 victim. Railroad iron
was bent by /. the force Of the water,
iron bridges resting on their piers Of
solid masonry Swithstood the strain
but a moment and were swept away
like empty casks. The eddying waters
ate away embankments and great rail-
road cars laden with half a hundred
tons of coal 3tumbled to destruction.
The Elkhorn and North Fork valleys,
but a few hours abefore teeming with
busy thousands, were madeSa desolate
scene Of devastation and death in a
few short hours. The financial loss
is unobtainable, but it is estimated
that 1t will take millions to repair the
damage. The, Norfolk and Western
tracks for miles are washed out and it
is impossible to say when their trains
can be operated. !, Although it begins
at Stonedale, Keystone and Burke are
the greatest sufferers. The two towns
are practically one and form the larg,
est place in the coal fields. Many
nonresident miners were in Keystone
on Saturday morning and umbers Of
them,: whose names will never be
learned, perished in the food. .s

Bluefeld, w. Va, June 26.---An eye
witness OF the food which, devastated
Keystone has arrived here. He was
a guest of the! National hotel-one of
the few buildings which escaped de-
strnction. In speaking of his expert
ence he said the town was built along
one narrow street, which followed the
stream fully mile. Because of the
limited space the houses on one side
stood on piles or walls over the Elk
horn and on the other against the
mountains. \, III. W.. i;*< #2"s{ MI. MI. - + -
At daybreak Saturday the people
realized their danger. The narrow
valley gradually became filed with a
raging torrent, sweeping away small
buildings and causing a scramble to
the mountain side. More than a hun
dred persons remained to look after
women and children. When the rail
way bridge. was finally swept away,
the food poured down the narrow
street, carrying many persons with it.
Eight lives are known to have been
lost. s From the hotel a lifeline was
thrown to the building opposite and
then to rescuers on the hillside. All
In the hotel, and those fortunate
enough to reach It, were thus enabled
to reach a place Of safety at" the i'm
minent risk of their lives, however.
45 At Shawnee several persons are
said to have been drowned. The
greater part Of the town was de-
stroyed. u y. ss.ss{ I5tsz. q, - I .

has to fear is America. They know it

movement it has the support Of the

Il predict, however, that the COM
mercial war that / ,foresee will be
short-lived, resulting in a victory for
America. They cannot fight our fac
tories and our industry with old paint

know what is coming and they are
keeping close track of every move that
is made. I think the United States
will be able to meet the issue success

"In Russia found the most friendly
feeling for America. Russia has learn
ed the lesson of protection, and the

system, such as we have. They are
going to tax every imported article,
but l don't see how the United States
can object to that very strongly, be-
cause Russia is simply following In
our footsteps. !
II see no reason why we should not
have another prosperous year. Europe
is in bad shape. England has been
baked. In Germany the crops have
failed. To less extent the same con-
dition rules in France. For this rea-
son I believe the United States will
increase its trade and in this manner
gain q better position from which to

low the expiration of the treaties"
