MORE RAIN IN KANSAS
Eastern Part of the State Caught the
Deluge.

Topeka, July l.-Eastern Kansas
got another soaking rain last night.
At Topeka over two inches of water
fell. The Santa Fe company has re-
ceived reports of heavy rain on the
eastern division from Emporia to
Kansas City. At Argentine the tracks
were under water this morning and
all trains had orders to run slow at
that point. The Rock Island west
bound trains were delayed by high
water at Perry. The water was over
the tracks used by the Union Pacific
and the Rock Island trains, and put
ont the fires in the engines. High wa
ter was reported on the Union Pacific
tracks between Topeka and Man
haitian.
The Santa Fe officers have received
reports of rain as far west as Newton.
The rain west of Emporia was light
On the southern divisions of the road
the rain was heavy. Tracks between
Topeka and southern and eastern
points are under water at various
places, but so far no damage has been
reported.
Last nights rain, with that of Sun
day morning, makes two inches and
third since midnight Saturday. The
Kansas river is now within eighteen
inches of the bottom of the arches of
the Kansas avenue bridge. A rise of
two or three feet more will be likely
to send the river out of its banks at
some lowsplaces. Men are watching
the street car bridge, keeping the
drift wood away.

OFFICERS SLAYER DEAD.
The Shot Fired by the Brave Sergeant
Proves Fatal.

Kansas City, July l.--Abe Emerson,
the negro who shot and killed Ser
geant Frank Mcnamara last Saturday
night and was himself shot twice by
the sergeant before he fell dead, died
at $3.50 O'Clock this this morning. His
body was gived to the coroner, who
ordered it sent to Countee's under
taking rooms. There will probably
be no inquest.
Emerson was taken secretly fromthe
city hospital Vt II O'Clock Sunday
night and moved to Agnew hospital,
Seventh street and Woodland avenue,
where he died. The translerwas made
on the order of Chief Hayes who had
been warned that an attempt would be
made to take the negro from the city
hospital by force and lynch him. Only
few persons knew where Emerson
had been sent when taken from the
city hospital.

WANTS A NEW TRAIL.
A Motion Made by Jessie Morrison's
Counsel at EIdOradO.

Eldorado, Kan, June 30.-The at
torneys for Jessie Morrison fled a
motion for new trial to-day, alleg-
ing thirty-two different reasons why
it should be granted The principal
reasons are alleged errors by the
courtin overruling amotion for change
of venue, in empanelling and instruct
ing jury, in allowing the state to
introduce certain evidence, in refusing
evidence by the defense, and alleged
abuse on the part of the court which
kept the defendant from having a
fair trial, error in not dismissing the
defendant as demanded after the state
ment of the states case and because
he defendant has newly discovered
evidence she could not have produced
at the trial.
Judge Aiken set time for hearing
the motion for next Monday. The
motion probably will be overruled
and Miss Morrison sentenced. In
that event an appeal may be made to
the supreme court. Miss Morrison
has been tried three times for the mar
der of Mrs. Olin Castle. Last Satur.
she was convicted Of murder in the
second degree.

/ 300 U. ?. MEN ARE OUT.
More Union Machinists Quit the Com
pany's Shops.

Omaha, Neb., June 30.--The order
authorizing strike of all the ma
chinists upon the Union Pacific sys-
tenn went into effect at 10 o'clock this
morning. There were few men left to
walk out in Omaha and Council Bluffs,
however, the shops having been
closed down Friday night. Nobody
except the machinists knew what hour
the walkout would occur, and railroad
officials were kept in suspense until
the men should stop work. No re-
ports we're received from outside shops
up to noon.
There will be about 1,700 men af-
fected by the strike. This includes
mouldersand boilermakers who have
already struck, those who were locked
out and those who are expected to
obey the strike order of the machinists'
executive committee.
Vice President Wilson of the Ma
chiuists' union is in the city and
Grand President James O'Connell is
expected in a day or two. Chairmen
of the boards of adjustment of the
different branches Of the trainmen
we're in the city today, but declare
their presence here has nothing to do
with the strike. A large meeting of
the machinists was in progress during
the day at the labor temple, behind
closed doors.
The strike of the machinists was due
to the piecework system in the Union
Pacific shops week ago. 1t is one
of the basic principles of machinists'
unions that none of its men shall
work under a piecework schedule and
when the Union Pacifice changed the
plan of paying its men the union had
no resource except to call a strike or
change its laws. The men say that
they are not making as much 10y
piecework as they were when paid by
the day, This contention has in
lluenced many non-union machinists
to join with the strike 5, in the hope
that the former wage system will be
again introduced.

POLICE FEAR LYNCHING
Slayer of Sergeant NJ 'Namara Taken
from the Hospital.

Kansas City, June 30-Threats of
lynching had become so numerous
last night that Abe Emerson, the negro
who murdered Sergeant Frank Nc
Namara Saturday night, was removed
from the city hospital at II o'clock
last night. a detail of police accom-
panied by DR.. Manahan, assistant
surgeon, went in carriage to the city
hospital and took Emerson to a hid
ing place chosen by Chief Hayes. No
one outside the party which had charge
of the negro was allowed to know
where he was taken
''At such time, " said Chief Hayes,
this morning, 1--WE can trust no one.
1t is my duty to prevent lynching,
no matter how much the negro merits
such punishment. | shall take every
precaution to stop any demonstration
which might result in a disgrace to
Kansas City"
At the time Emerson was taken from
the city hospital he had surprised
everyone by his increased strength,
and, contrary to the expectations of
the physicians, showed so much
vitality that it was believed he would
recover. Emerson.declared yesterday
that he did not wish TO live and SEEM
ed thoroughly to realize the fact that
should he live it would be only to suf-
fer death on the scafrold. When ask.
ed about the shooting of Sergeant Nc
Namara, Emerson affected to feel deep
contrition,
~ don't know why l done shot
him" he walled 81 knowed Me-
Namara and he had did me fayors. l
didn't know it were him The street
were dark. Ia been drinking and was
half crazy
There is no doubt that public feeling
against Emerson is intense, especially
in the northern part of the city where
Sergeant Mcnamara was most familiar
to the people. On almost every cor
ner, in the drinking places, in the city
hall even, groups of men discussed
the tragic death of the brave officer
and muttered threats against his
slayer. Even those whose duty re-
quires them to protect the negro mur-
derer were unable to refrain from ex-
pressing hope that he might receive
the severest possible punishment.

CONGRESS ADJOURNED
Wild Scenes in the House During 1.-THE
Closing Hours

Washington, July Amid a scene
of enthusiasm that has not been par.
alleled since the exciting and stirring
days of the Spanish war, Speaker
henderson, at $50 this afternoon de-
clared the house of representative
adjourned without day, In doing so
he said that no house of representa-
tives since the adoption of the consti-
tuition had done as much work as this
one. The audience to which he made
his brief address was brilliant one.
The galleries we're banked to the doors
and almost two-thirds of the members
were in their seats on the floor. The
speakers appreciative words to the
members in thanking them for their
cooperation during 1.-The session had
touched IA responsive chord and they
gave him remarkable demonstration
of their friendship and good will.
While the cheering and applause
were still in progress, the members on
the floor began singing, my Country,
IT'S of Thee" 1t was taken, up by
the correspondents in the press gal
lery, over the speakers chair and by
the spectators in the surrounding
galleries, and soon thevast hall was
ringing with the swelling chorus.
Other patriotic airs followed as the
members exchanged farewells. 1.-The
Star Spangled Banner" alternating
with "Dixie."
The speaker came down from his
rostrum, his appearance being greeted
with, For He a Jolly Good Fellow"
and perfect rush of members tograsp
his hand. Standing in the area in
front of the clerks desk he, too, join
ed in the songs, and there was a wild
scene when General Hooker, of Miss
issippi, the old one-armed Confeder-
ate veteran, took his place by the side
OF the speaker and together they sang
Dixie" "
Mr.. Gambler, a mississippi Demo
crat, jumped upon desk and let out
yell of iubilation that fairly shook
the raiters. For almost half an hour
the iubilation continued. All this
time the spectators remained stand
ing in the galleries watching the ami
mated scene below and joining in the
singing
The adjournment came at the end of
seven and half hour session, dur
ing which much minor business was
transacted. In all, seventy bills and
resolutions were passed. The general
good feeling in the house had been
heightened by the victory won over
the senate on the item in
the naval appropriation bill for the
building of a. battleship in gov
ernment yard.
The closing hour was occupied with
a spirited debate between Mr.. Cousins
OF Iowa, and MIR. Richardson, the
Democratic leader, over the report on
the investigation into the charges
made by Captain Christmas concern
ing the sale of the Danish West In
dies. Mr.. Cousins ridiculed Mr..
Richardson for bringing the matter
to the attention of congress. The
latter defended his course.

Washington, July. 1.-The attack
by Senator Bailey upon Senator Bev-
eridge might easily have resulted more
seriously. Bailey expected Beveridge
in the corridor outside the senate
chamber and there intended to demand
retraction. With none to separate
themthe encounter probably would
have gone hard with the Indiana SEN
ator who would have been but baby
in the hands of the giant Texan. Bev-
eridge coolly smoked his cigar and
chatted with his colleagues, evidently
suspecting Bailey. When Beveridge
gave no evidence Of leaving the cham
Der Bailey unable to restrain his rage
longer, sprang at Beveridge. The at
tack is the sole subject of discussion
here today.
Bailey says that he does not intend
to apologize for his conduct. He de-
clares that he would rather have the
senate expell him.

NO TRUTH IN 1T
House Committee Makes Report on
Richardson Bribery Charge.

Washington, July l. Chairman
Dalzell, of the special committee of
the house of representatives, which
investigated the charges in connec-
tion with the purchase of the Danish
West India islands, today submitted
the report of that committee. After
detailing the charges OF bribery and
showing, that Captain Christmas had
repudiated the alleged report on which
the charges we're based, the commit
tee sums up the results Of their inves.
tigation as follows:
That thereis not the slightest semb-
lance Of evidence that any member of
congress, either directly or indirect
ly, was offered any bribe, or was paid
any valuable consideration of any
kind or character to vote for or assist
in procuring the proposal, adoption
or ratification OF a treaty of sale of
the Danish West Indian islands to
the United States. There is not the
remotest ground from which to draw
an inference or on which to base u
conclusion that there was any corrup-
tion or wrongdoing on the part of the
public officials of the United States in
connection with the negotiations for
the purchase and sales of the Danish
West Indian Islands,
