rIsd Off by Flood.

Madison. N. J., Aug. 1.-THE cloudburst

The cemetery Is situated partly on a
hill but a brook and ravine traverse the
other portion of IL. The water backed
out and swept across the lower part of
the cemetery. For a distance OF about 400
feet the torrent carried everything before
Il. For width OF 80 feet the graves we're
washed out.

I'm all directions. some of the bodies were
found mile from the cemetery. and IL ~

scores upon scores OF craft were being
prepared to follow the contestants. hum

OF shore was SO thick that Halfway
Rock the starting point only two miles
out, could not be seen.
At 10 o'clock the rain had become inter-
mittent but the breeze was still.
All the forenoon there was talk OF
postponing the races until afternoon In
the hope OF better conditions. AT III
o'clock however. the weather was clear
and one by one the feet began TO move
out Of the harbor. After the vanguard
had got under way the other yachts were
not slow TO follow, and by ll:30 the har-
Dor was almost deserted. For today the

BEEF TRUST
LETTER OF ATTORNEY GENERAL
journal Is Being Duly
Carried Out.

Washington, April ia letter from
Attorney General Knox relative to the
so-called beef trust was made public to-
day by Representative Ray, chairman of
the house committee on judiciary. In
view of the attorney generals letter the
judiciary committee decided to recon-
mend that the resolution asking the at
torney general what steps he had taken
against the beef trust, lie on the table.
The attorney generals letter is given in
Chairman Rays report on the resolution.
The report quotes Mr.. Rays letter dated
April II to the attorney general in which
the following questions are asked:..
F1rst-Has your attention been called to the
matter alleged in house resolution 2O3 a copy
of which is annexed?
Second-Have you been requested to take
any official action in the matter?
Third-Have you any evidence of the exist
ence Of such a combination?
The attorney general answers the ques-
lions as follows:
First-It has not, except so far as it is a
| matter of general notoriety. -e
| Second have not
Third-None that could be classed as Legal
evidence.
1t is proper think, however, to add that
owing to the positive, oft repeated and cir.
cumstantial nature of the allegations tina
the law is being dagrantly violated, l dlrectef
some time ago "a thorough investigation to bt
made by one Of the district attorneys of thu
United States for the purpose of ascertainint
whether in fact such combination existed ant
whether, if SO, it's operations were in viola
| ticn of any federal statute
I The report says:
1t is apparent from this correspondence tina
there is no necessity for the abortion of tn
resolution The attorney general has alread,
ordered thorough investigation. There i
no doubt he will perform his duty and prose
cute all offenders, if offenders there be. 1t i
4 evident that he should not be required to Civ
in detail the. steps already taken. as thi
would be to forewarn those who are violatin1
the law and enable them to. conceal evidence
1t is also evident that this officer cannot stat
! whether or not there has been an infringe
r1ent of the law until the facts are fully as
certained. It dszhalso evident that no lega
4 steps can be taken toward a prosecution Of tn
/ parties violating the law until thorough IN

ter of the attorney general answers the reso
j luton as fully as it can be or ought to b

ADE]MOCRAIIC HOUSE
Evil Effect Should One Be Elected
.s This Year.
NEW PHILIPPINE INVESTIGATION
ship, It's Influence on Presidential
Election Would BE Bad.

From The Journal Bscreau, Room 20, Pod
building, Washington,
Washington, April 15.-In the discussion
now current in political circles over the
possibility of the election OF demo-
cratic house in November, 1t is commonly
remarked that such a result would have
little effect one way or the other, that
with the republicans strongly entrenched
in the senate and in control at the White
House, democratic ascendency in the low
er house would be meaningless triumph.
This is usually the case in the last half
of presidential term. 1t was so of the
last congress of the Harrison administra-
tion. =
But there is one respect in which demo-
cratic control of the house could, now oc-
easion the republicans great deal Of
trouble. and that is in the matter Of
Philippine investigations. No sooner
would democratic speaker take his seat
than the party realizing that it could ac-
complish no affirmative legislation, would
decide to Investigate the Philippines, as Of
course either house is at any time en-
powered to do. We should then have such
an Investigation as is now going on IN
the senate, but from the opposite point
of view. The committee chairman, in di-
recting questions and protecting wit
pesses, would take just the opposite of the
present policy, and he would have, Of
course, the party majority behind him.
The greatest publicity would doubtless
be given to all the hearings through the
admission of all the correspondents II not
OF the general public. OF course, the
democrats would conduct such an investi-
cation with a view of making political
capital for the approaching presidential
election, and 1t would he most effective
