Mur- phy and others, were swept into the river like so many chips. The houses were completely gptted of the house. hold effects, and nothing is left but the memory of where they once stood.
 The coal shed of Bob Walsh, in which there were four tons of coal, was torn away from the south end of his cabin, carried around and lodged in front of the north end.
 Four or five cabins still stand on the once thickly settled point of the spit, but they are completely gutted of their contents.
 The bridge is still solid. Nearly all the balges, skiffs, tugs and boats in the river. as well as number of cabins, are lodged against the bridge, resting easy, and no danger of losing the bridge is anticipated. The damage on the lower end of the spit will be ap- proximately 5000.
 Above th4 bridge on the sandspit the damage has not been so great, in fact, very little damage was done. C. w. Reed is about the only person effected. The waves forced the sands. over his bulkhead, covering his stock to depth of two feet. The damage will amount to about 800.
 The report that the ElectriceLight X Power company had lost the bigger portion of their coal supply is untrue, as the coal is well protected.i
 The steamers Fortune Hunter and Minneapolis, which are moored near the bank of the river, are tanning into nearby cabins and doin. some damage.
 The running of .trains on the Wild Goose railroad was suspended this morn ing owing to the water backing up in Snake river and flooding the tracks. The lagoon in the bend of the river is well stocked with boats of all kinds, which were torn away from their fast enings.

 Capt. E. Nj. Cederbergh furnishes the following comparison between the present storm and that of 1900:

NEGRO PROBLEM IN

my ASSOCIATED pREss.l

London, August 2o.-Mail adyices re-
ceiycd here from johannesburg indicate
the negro problem is growing more acute
and is causing the authorities infinite
worry.
To quote the words Of one of the fore
most South African authorities: "On the
question of the natives depends the whole
future OF the new colonics--whcther the
Beers will Loyalty accept British rule or
continue in a state Of sullen resentment.
Among the immediate dangers native at
tacks on Beers returning to their farms
and attempts Of the natives to assault
white women are threatening to lead TO
disastrous results between the Beers and
blacks.
Under the old regime the crude but
simple punishment for assaults ON women
was shooting on sight.
"Now, however, there is no legislation
on the subject and the English authorities
are hesitating to enact laws until all the
parties concerned can voice their opinions.
The hesitancy to deal summarily with the
natives is causing both Beers and Afr-
kanders intense irritation and encourages
the blacks to truculent cffrontery.

~
London, August 2o-The arrival of the
Boer generals in Holland is described with
subdued and chastened spirit by the
English press. No fault can be found
with the evidences Of Dutch hero worship,
in that the enthusiasm of London crowds
set the example, in welcoming the Boer
generals and DR.. Clark, also as though
they had been fighting on their side. The
generals evidently were under less re-
straint at Rotterman and The Hague than
they had been in London, where they cast
about for excuse for retcence and re-
serve. Whatever may be their opinions
OF the Boer negotiators who conducted
safe campaign in Europe and America
they are not prepared to act independently
of Kruger and Steyn, or to holding pro-
longed conference with Messrs. Fisher
Womarens and Vessels and the Others
Will Follow Fisher.
Mr.. Fisher is the stronger and most
influential Boer in Holland, Mr.. Kruger
alone excepted, and the generals are likely
to follow him rather than Dr. Leyds. The
pro-Boers, when they become prophetic
forecast in South Africa a policy Of con-
stitutional agitation, opening with a Dutch
coalition against the loyalists in the COL
ony, in which Sir Gordon Spriggs cannot
control, and leading up by easy stages un-
der confederation to self-governing
Dutch commonwealth, under the British
crown.
Men like Mr. Fisher are too discreet to
talk about ulterior Boer policies, but they
already advocate confederation as the
inevitable results of peace.

Senators Cabello and Bctancourt signed
the motion. The instant the project was

denounced the motion as childish in the ex-
treme and unbecoming dignifed men. It
is not in the jurisdiction of congress, but
of the president, who could be relied on
not to take away the emblems of nation
to whom all credit for their liberty was
due.
Senator Cisneros defended the project.
saying that the act of the United States
in putting up the emblems In country

Senator Capoe insisted on vote with

the release from the prescription case and
are saying things to each other which

In Nature Of Celebration.
The convention today is almost in the
nature OF celebration, owing to the fact
that the popular president has arisen from

was full of blood and there was also blood
in a pail near the bed, it was evident
that death had resulted from hemorrhage.
