Floods In South Carolina Were Very Dis.

astrous.
Charlotte, N. c., June S.-The loss of
life at Pacolet and Clifton S. c., is esti-
mated at sixty. The destruction of prop
erty by the flood was far-reaching.
No list of dead is available but it is
supposed that most of the dead were male
operatives. The bodies of four unidenti-
fed white persons were taken from the
river below Clifton. A conservative list
of the loss to cotton mills in this county
is $3,O00,000.
A mass meeting of citizens was held
yesterday and $500 was subscribed for
the relief of the flood sufferers. Congress-
man johnson has gone to Washington TO
see Secretary of War Root and secure
federal aid, if possible.
The town of Union, S. c., is totally iso-
lated.
A 200-foot section of the Southern rail-
way bridge over Broad river between
Spartanburg and Columbia has given way
stopping traffic between those points
Many other bridges are unsafe
Following is a summary of the damage
of the cotton mills:
Pacolet Nos. and 2, totally destroyed;
Pacolet No badly damaged. These mills
operated 10000 spindles and 1900 looms.
Clifton Mill No. 3, at Converse, 81, 900
spindles, destroyed. Dexter mills 80, 500
spindles, half destroyed.

The Rifing of the Safe in His Office
by His Wife Will Be Looked
Into

Washington June s.-The federal
grand jury has found true bills against the
Croft Brothers in connection with the al
legged Offering of brides to A. w. Machen,
former superintendent of free delivery of
the postoffice department This action
was taken on the same day that Mr..
Machen was indicted. The delay in pre-
senting the indictments has been due to
the fact that they could not be pre-
pared for presentation before to-day.
I The Croft Brothers will be tried under
section 5451 of the Revised Statutes which
makes it an offense to promise money to
any government officer with view to
influencing his action or decision on any
question or matter which may be pend
ing before him.
J BY bringing in the indictments to-day
the hearing before the United States COM
missioner which was set for tomorrow
will be abandoned. :
The grand jury will at once take up the
case of James N. Tyner, former assist
ant attorney general for the postoffice
department who was dismissed from Of
flee as result of the rif1ing of the safe
in his office. Altho the opening of the
safe was not, done by Mr.. Tyner person
ally it is said that he was connected with
the act in such a way as to compel the
laying of the case before the grand jury
for its action.

From Barritz came these words of Max
Nordau: Il trust you will continue to
develop into power to the honor of
American Jewry and to, the benefit OF the
Jewish people whose position in the world
is more appalling than it has been at any
moment in the last century. The name
of Kishinef, written with letters Of blood
and fire. in the other ever new martyr
ology of Israel, is sufficient by itself to
bear out this statement. 1t shows for
our people there is no such thing as prog
ress. For us history has not moved on
ward by ore step for the last 800 years.
We are still In the fearful period of. the
crusades, when the pious. warriors of the
cross trained themselves to their heroic
work by the wholesale slaughter Of Jews
and the looting Of defenseless sghettos. 1t
shows also that Zionism is the only way
to lead our miserable brethren In Russia
and elsewhere out of their present hell.
/ would despair of Judaism, and Of hui
mainly as we'll If the free and happy
Jews of America were to turn a deaf ear
to the bloodcurdling tale of Kishinef."
Israel Zangwill sent the following mes
sage:
Greetings to the Pittsburg Convention
The Kishinef massacre has brought home
to the blindest the need of publicly and
legally safeguarded home for our I'M
happy race. When you come to consider
where this centralized home should be
you will find no place as practicable as
Palestine or. at least, for start, its
neighborhood May the town of fire and
steel in which you meet inspire you te
build a great bridge over which Israe
shall pass to his ancient home and his
glorious future"

political considerations. I feel confident
that in the matter of preferential tariffs
and commercial fair play. the workingmen
will think for themselves, will not be die
tated to by even the most trusted trades
unionist leaders.
cit will be impossible to secure preferen-
tial treatment to the colonies without
some duty on corn as well as on other ar
ticles of food because these are the chief
articles Of colonial produce. Whether this
will raise the cost of living is a matter of
opinion. There is no doubt that In many
cases duty of this kind is paid by the
exporter and it really depends on the ex-
tent Of the competition among exporting
countries. For instance think it is es-
tablished that the shilling duty recently
imposed was met by reduction In price
and freights in the United States and the
tax did not therefore fall in any way on
the consumer here.

the rate Of wages will be certainly raised
in greater proportion. This has beer. the

larger than it is here. These facts we
have to bring to the notice Of working
men generally
Mr.. Chamberlain concludes:
'.You are told that such reform as
contemplate would bring starvat ion into the
homes Of the working people and destroy
our export trade. II these predictions have
any foundation how are we to account for
the fact that the increase in exports and
wages and general prosperity during the
last twenty years in the United States and
Germany have been greater than in the
United Kingdom, which Is the only civil
lied country In the world to enjoy the
blessings Of unrestricted free imports?"

St: Louis, June S.-All the whistles in
Madison were: blown early to-day to
arouse citizens for rescue work as soon
as the fact became known that a. colony
of persons was at the mercy of the flood.
J. r. Elder, superintendent of the Ameri-

the water and drowned. Just where these
men were situated cannot be learned as
reports received in ST. Louis vary.
Some reports say a number Of men are
imprisoned on a crumbling levee and
others that they are imprisoned in tot
tering building at the car works whence
they had fed from the. breaking levee
Every effort is being put forth to rescue
them.
Madison is about four miles north Of St
Louis. The steam yacht Annie Russell
cannot breast the current and after trying
for an hour she put back into port and
the harbor boat, Mark Twain, will attempt
to go to the resuce.
4 At{3 a. m. the river had reached a stage
of 37.4 feet and was still rising.
A small steamer from St. Charles sue
ceeded in reaching Black Walnut last
night and the 200 imperiled persons, ter
rifled and in great distress for food and
shelter, were taken from the island in
safety. All were rescued.

spirits were unrelieved to-day and the
liquidation which was in force last week
continued on a large scale. There was
heavy selling of the corn carriers and

also under special pressure on account of
