this morning. although there was
very little business 10 come up, the
attendance was as large as IL has
been in many months past.
a communication Of some interest
and Importance 10 the business
houses of Seattle was read. II was
from residents OF Vashon. II states
that since there n a probability OF
the establishment Of rural free dsliv-
cry on the Island there is some fear
Iest Burton may be chosen as the
postofiice which would be to the
detriinent Of the people Of Vashon
and Incidentally Seattle.
II il explained that there Is but
one mail day 10 Burton. This
comes from Tacoma and the people
OF Burton transact most Of their
business in Tacoma. On the other
hand there are two boats and malls
per day between Seattle and vashon
and the Vashon people do all their
business with Seattle.
They object TO the discstablish-
ment Of the office AZ that point on
the ground that the mail service II
better from there to Seattle than
from Burton to Tacoma and N would
be OF more benefit Ia the island IL
the mail route 10 Seattle should be
continued. The cutting or Of the
Sea tile Nashon route would affect
the Seattle business with Vashon. for
goods BY the present route can be
ordered and secured the same day.
whereas 10 Seattle via Burton and
Tacoma would take over two days.
The matter was referred TO a com

SERIOUS FLOOD is FEARED
impending Danger Threatened In Inn
mense GOrge( of Ice
in RivsFS.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 2O.--A sleet storm to-
night with rapidly moderating weather and
two days OF rain predicted by the govern
ment weather office. promises TO bring the
conditions feared for weeks past by river
men and citizens generally.
The danger apprehended is from the i'm
mense gorges Of ice In the Allegheny and
Monongahela rivers The distractions are
Of the most serious character and liable to
do almost incalcuable damage to river craft
between this point and Wheeling, and
should the moderate weather and rains
bring down. the ice and the heavy SHOWS
from upriver points the flood which will
result will be a record breaker.
The gorge in the Allegheny extends with
out break from Pittsburg fully fifty miles
up the river and varies In thickness from
Ave feet to sixteen feet. The ice is frozen
to the bottom of the river IN many places
and is damming the water. with the result
that the river is rising above the gorge and
this fact points out that when the first rise
comes the water will be damxAed back until
the valley along the river win be flooded
and do damage not computed in money.
The gorge in the Mononsahela is not
feared so much, because the numerous dams
along it's length will serve to break the ice.
The situation was made worse by a gorge
in the Youghiogheny at Versailles and
at other points above McKeesport, which
threatens the boats and barges moored
along the river.
The coal companies are taking every pre-
caution for the protection Of their property
along the rivers and all residents in the
lowlands and valleys are making ready for
the expected flood.

EFFECT OF PRINCES VISIT
Revival of CordiaIity is Predicted by
German Paper Formerly
Hostile to America.

BERLIN, Feb 20-The Kreuz zeitung,
concluding column survey Of the relations
between Germany and the United States,
says:
The royal attitude of Germany at the
outbreak of the Spanish-American war has
Just been proved. II the sympathies of
the German people were then with Spain
the explanation Is that ideal trait of the
German character which causes Germans
TO sympathize with the weaker party in
fight. But we have long since gotten over
that Sharp conflicts OF interest exist be-
tween Germany and the United States.
These, however, are not political, but are
confined to economic matters. Perhaps
way has at last been found which renders
possible a settlement of these conflicts.
Perhaps the visit of Prince Henry will give
occasion to this end. At any rate much
will be gained II this visit reawakens a
lively consciousness of the traditional
friendly relations among the rulers and
the people of both nations. 1t will also
remove the misunderstanding which the
sensational press has created and nour-
ished. Prince Henry's visit will certainly
clear the atmosphere, improve the rela-
uons and revivify the cordiality which
has always existed between the two gov
ernments
1t will be remembered that the Kreuz
Zeitung was one Of the most hostile critics
Of the United States in 1898. which attitude
II has since maintained.

BEGINS THE SUMMING UP
Government Attorney Places Amount
of Postal Frauds at over Hun
dred Thousand Dollars.

HAVANA, Feb. 20.-The fiscal began
summing up for the prosecution today in
the cases OF the Cuban postal frauds. He
withdrew all the charges against the two
Cuban stamp clerks, Moya and Mascara.
He withdrew the charges against Estes O..
Rathbone Of issuing duplicate warrants and
charged the issuing of these warrants to
W. H. Reeves and c. f. w. Neeley.
He maintained the charges of conspiracy
and extravaganza against Rathbone and
said these cases we're the most important
that had ever come before the Cuban
courts. He declared that there was no
doubt, from the testimony Of the experts,
that $122 900 had been stolen. He said
Rathbone had full power for the organiza-
tion in the island and was only responsible
to the postmaster general, and that II the
service had been properly established the
majority OF the frauds in question could
not have occurred.
Rathbone, said the fiscal, did not deposit
the funds as required by the postofhce au-
thorities, and should have been deposited
when they were received, but instead Rath-
bone left the money in the safe. This alone.
the fiscal declared, rendered Rathbone
liable to imprisonment for six months.
He said that Rathbone must have known
of these Irregularities OF stealings. He
also introduced letters to show the inti-
macy which had existed between Neeley,
Reeves and Rathbone.
The fiscal is expected to finish his sum
ming up tomorrow.
