WHOLLY WITHOUT NERVE.
Parkhurst Takes a Parting Fling at
the Low Administration.

New York, May 24-Rev. DR.. Park
hurst, who sailed for Europe on the
Cymric to be gone until September,
left valediction for Mayor Lows ad-
ministration, and especially Colonel
Partridge's, which is anything but a
benediction. He doesn't think much
of the Tammany triumvirate, but says
that it won't do to trust too much to
Tammany's weakness; the administra-
tion must develop positive virtues if
Tammany is to be beaten again. I'm
fortunately it is weak in the one de-
partment that counts most in current
regard. He declares:
I'VE have never had police admin
istration so absolutely nerveless as the
one we have now. The chords of dis
cipline are strung SO loosely that when
struck they give out no tone Even
under Tammany the members of the
force knew what to do and did it, But
now they don't know what to do, and
don't do it."

WATER CAME IN A RUSH.
Three Lives Lost in the Flood at De
corah, la. St

Il . : u
La Crosse, Wis, May 24.-George w.
Kidder, travelling salesman employed
by the Grand Union Tea company,
with headquarters in this city, return-
ed from the food stricken Decorah
Ia.) district during the morning, He
says that the storm is the worst in
the history of the town, three lives be-
ing lost and many narrow escapes be-
ing reported. The water came all in
a rush, there having been cloudburst
a few miles north of there.
DEBORAH is located in valley and
the water rushed onto the town at a
terrific speed. Some of the farmers
tried to save their cattle, one aged
man being drowned in an attempt to
get to his barn to save some chickens.
Another man went out into his yard
and when he started the water came
only to his ankles. A few minutes later
there came such torrent that he was
nearly covered by the water. He
grabbed the handle of pump in the
yard and managed to save his life.
Mr.. Kidder says that scores of fine
residences were washed from their
foundations and carried several rods
away. In one house a barber lived
with his invalid wife and Zee chill
dren. The torrent of wat .rried OFF
the house but it finally 3 .ght about
three blocks from its foundation. Mr..
Kidder says that many other people
had narrow escapes from being drown
ed. The property loss, which will be
very heavy, cannot be estimated at this
hour. The railroads are washed out
four miles in all directions.

TWO DEAD, MANY INJURED.
Trolley Car Runs Down an Incline
Near Easton, Pa.

Trolley Car Runs Down an Incline
Near Easton, Pa.
Easton, Pa, May 24.-Two men were
killed and many men and women injur-
ed in trolley wreck a few miles be-
yond Easton at midnight. The dead
are: Edward Commodore, Nazareth,
and Joseph Derhammer, Easton.
An Easton and Nazareth car left this
city shortly before midnight, carrying
SO passengers. On a steep hill in
Palmer township the brakes refused to
work and the car ran away, descending
the incline at terrific rate of speed.
At the foot of the hill there is sharp
curve. Here the car jumped the track
and tearing loose from the trucks, fell
on its side in the country road. The
greatest excitement prevailed. Many
women tainted, while others became
hysterical through fright. There was
a wild scramble to get out of the car.
While the passengers were being
dragged from the car windows, an eff
fort was being made to release Com
modore from beneath the trucks, but
before he could be got out, life was
extinct. The body of Derhammer was
found several yards from the wrecked
car. The skull was fractured and the
body was terribly bruised.

ONE OF THE GANG KILLED.
New York Police Have Running
FiQht With Burulars

New York, May 24.-In a wild chase
after burglars, through Harlem streets,
40 or so shots were fired. One burglar,
Walter White, was shot in the temple
and killed instantly.
The robbers, three in number, were
discovered leaving the store of an op-
tician at 2068 Third avenue by a
watchman. He followed them until he
found policeman. Then the pursuit
was on and the robbers began shoot
ing. The officer returned the fire. A
few blocks further along one of the
burglars fell.
BY this time 10 policemen had join
ed in the chase and constant fire was
kept up on the two remaining robbers,
who apparently had exhausted their
ammunition. At Fifth avenue they
were surrounded and, after being club
bed and beaten, they surrendered.
Several bundles of valuables which
they had stolen were found in the
street where the burglars had dropped
them.
None of the policemen were injured
in the fight,

NO OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION.
Opinion General in London That Peace
Is Assured, .."!

London, May 24.-Peace in South
Africa is regarded as assured; but an
official declaration to that effect is still
lacking, and there is nothing official
to indicate when an announcement
may be expected. Opinion is divided
as to whether statement on the sit
uation will be issued after the cabinet
meeting or whether it will be reserved
for the meeting of the house of COM
mons on Monday. 1t seems, however,
at the best, that only the bases of the
peace terms will be before the minis
ters and that it they are accepted the
discussion of the details may still oc-
cupy some time, during which, pre-
sumably, an armistice will be declared.
Meanwhile, outside the Boer COM
mandoes connected with the peace ne
gotiations, fighting continues. Lovat's
scouts surprised Touches command il

tured most of the Boer supplies.

you have done the French navy an
honor which it will profoundly appre-
ciate. The sentiments of our sailors
for their brave comrades of the Rus

cry occasion that offers. Whether in
the extreme Eastern seas, in the Med
iterranean or elsewhere their frater-
nifty emphasizes the unity of their
countries. I shall carry away a warm

to this hospitable empire, and France,
which has heard with joy the welcome

SENATE FEEEs HURT.
New Plan of the House Regarding
Joint Conferences.

Joint Conferences.
Washington, May 24.-At the con-
clusion of the morning business in the
senate the army appropriation bill
with the message from the house ask
ing for a conference with instructions
to its c0nferees not to agree to the SEN
ate amendments relating to the con
struction Of barracks and quarters at
established military posts thus striking
out the appropriation for such build
ings in Manila was laid before the SEN
ate.
Mr.. Proctor, in charge of the bill,
said it was a new and unusual condi.
tion presented. To bring the matter
up he moved that the senate agree to
the conference asked. H.
Mr.. SpOoner said it was of the ut
most consequence that there should be
the utmost harmony between the two
branches of congress, but it was just
as necessary that there should be free
conferences. He thought the proce.
dure of the house was inadmissable
and it the senate acquiesced now in
the proposition made there would be
no end to the trouble which would
arise. "
Mr. Foraker suggested that the sen
ate merely insist upon it's amendments
and thus send the bill back to the
house. He said that while the house
had been exceedingly disrespectful
the senate did not desire to be disre
spectful to the house. Mr.. Hoa1
moved that the senate insist upon its
amendments and that it ask the house
for free conference.
Mr.. Pettus (Ala.) thought the best
mode of procedure would be to appoint
committee of the senate TO try tC
smooth out the differences.
Mr.. Allison agreed with Mr.. Pettus
and said if Mr.. Hoar's amendment was
adopted it would complicate the diff
Guilty rather than reduce it. He be
lieved the better plan would be tc
agree to the conference asked and lei
the protest against the instructions al
ready made stand as a notice to the
| house of the senate's feeling.

ARE QUITTING THE ISLAND
Thousands of Residents of the Island
Of Martinique Seeking Safety
Elsewhere.
Local Tradesmen Compelled to Close
their Stores by Large Desertions
of People.
Officials Declare that Evacuation O.
the Island at Present Time is
" Not Justiiable.

Fort de France, Island of Marti-
nique, Thursday, May 22.-At S o'clock
this afternoon the sky was clear and
the population calm; but despite this
favorable change in the situation many
families left Fort de France by the
French steamers Versailles and the
Vile de Tanger for the Island of Trim
idad and for Cayenne, French Guiana.
This, with the 1,200 persons who have
gone to the Island of Guadeloupe, and
many others who have sought refuge
at st. Lucia and other points, has les
sened the population considerably.
Besides these some 1000 people left
for the southern parts of the Island of
Martinique, where 5000 refugees have
now assembled. This desertion OF Fort
de France has resulted in the disorgan-
ization of many trades. A number of
bakers have been compelled to close
their stores, owing to the fact that
their employees are among those who
have fled. "
The French cruiser Tage, having
Admiral Servan on board, arrived here
this evening. She reported that Mont
Pelee now presents more assuring
prospects. The clouds of smoke leav.
ing the crater mingle with the clouds
in the sky and do not have the threat
ening aspect which they formerly pre-
sented. A new crater has formed in
the vicinity of Ajoupa Bouillon.
A locality known as Camae Trianon
is causing great deal of anxiety at
present The Capote river is running
| with hot water.
The French cruiser d'Assaz has ar
| rived here from Brest, having on board
| the French government relief commits
sion and large supplies of money an6

wire and it is choked up with private
messages. The company will not ac-

a country very rich in coal deposits.
The veins extend eastward into the
neighboring territory of Alberta.
The building of the railway four
years ago was followed by the opera

Minneapolis, May 24.-After the
close yesterday a special report was
issued by the government showing the
acreage and yield for, 1901 which was
in every sense very bearish. Wheat
opened at "A for the July, fully a half
lower. We must admit that this is a
very bearish report, it showing an
acreage of 49,OO0,OOO with yield of
74S,OOO,O0O bushels. On the other hand
we can allow that this is but an illus
tration of what conditions have been
for several years past or proportion
ately SO. On the other hand condi-
tions continue very bad in the north
west. Minneapolis received 124 cars
against 1853 last year, while Duluth
received but one car against II last
year. Minneapolis stocks decreased
$4,000 bushels and Chicago received
but seven cars.

mates the acreage at 81 100000 and the

Oats were less affected as they are

ing but until Canadian Pacific showed
a disposition to make good its promise
of 14O, market here was showing dis
position to hold off. The general news
is hinged on the settlement of the
strike as well as the Boer war. With
such prosperous conditions and con-
centration of capital and manipulation
we fail to see anything to check this
bull movement. The fractions OF

to time are working higher with
Brooklyn proving a good leader. While
nothing is said of a dividend POSSIBLE

lieve that as soon as it ceases these
heavy expenditures it is a very strong
probability. The government report
acted as a tonic to the rails in general
and though no great advance was
scored the market was firm as longs
realized and considerable short stuff
was put out for over Sunday expecting
more unfavorable developments.

List to Be Sent to Rome as Candidates
to Succeed Corrican.

Rome, May 24.-The Vatican is dis,
cussing the probability of the arch.
diocese of New York Sending in the
name of Archbishop Ireland of st. Pau
with the names OF Bishop Charles Nc,
Donnell of Brooklyn and auxiliary
Bishop John M. Farley of New: York as
candidates from whom the propaganda
shall select a successor to the late
Archbishop Corrigan, The belief in
this possibility is based on the idea
that the Catholics of the archdiocese
are ambitious TO have cardinal as the
archbishop and that none of the Amer
ican archbishops or bishops have such
good chance of obtaining the scarlet
berretta as Archbishop ireland.
