Cloudburst was followed by cloud
burst in West Texas, and lakes and
seas of water have inundated the coun-

rain continues to descend in torrents

downpour is the heaviest ever record

protracted droughts that are generally
broken by heavy rains, which gorge

RUSSIA'S NOTE ON TRUSTS.
We Have Not Shifted I'm the Matter,
But There Is no Likelihood of Our
Taking Part.

Washington, July 25.-Through the
United States charge of embassy at
st. Petersburg Mr.. Riddle. the State
Department has just received a copy
of the Russian note touching upon
trusts, which has excited SO much COM
ment in Europe. This note, which takes
the form of a circular, was identical
and was handed in St Petersburg to
the representatives of all the Pow
ers that participated in the Brussels
sugar conference, and, in addition, to
Mr.. Riddle for transmission to his
government at Washington.
In the present view the United
States executive cannot participate in
such a conference as is described, be-
cause of constitutional limitations
that cannot be escaped, even If there
were no other objections.
The State Department cannot DO
more than return a polite acknowl-
edgement through Mr.. Riddle of the
note and watch developments in Eu
rope.

Resolved, That we energetically
protest against the concerted effort
which is being made to defame and to
villify the friars of the Philippine ISL

love and reverence of a people whom
they nave ransomed from ignorance
ard barbarism.
Resolved, That We deploring the
seeming disposition of our government
to discredit the services of the friars
in the Philippines, do regard any him
drance to the legitimate exercise of
their labors as serious menace to the
civil and moral we'll being of the peo-
pie of these islands, an unwarranted
precedent fraught with peril to the
Catholic churches in the United States,
a grave violation of the treaty of Paris
and a fatal departure from the time
honorad American principle of separa-
ton of church and state.
Resolved, That we protest against
the general condemnation of the friars
for what may have been the errors of
individual members of their body, and
demand for them that same measure
of justice and protection which is so
truly accorded all other persons and
corporations under the jurisdiction of
the United States.
Resolved That we, sensible of the
unmerited obloquy heaped upon the
friars in the Philippine Islands by foul
ISLANDERS emanating from misguided
friends and treacherous foes, do prof
fer sympathy to our suffering brethren
and encourage them to confide in the
hope that our government, true to its
mission and purpose will ultimately
fulfill the dictates of justice and fair
ness in their regard "
