No man takes or keeps a VOW, But just as he sees others do: Nor are they 'bliged to be so brittle As not to yield and bow a little: For as best temper'd blades are found, Before the break, to bend quite round; So truest oaths are still more tough, And tho they bow, are breaking proof.

BOOKS AND PAPERS SEIZED.
President of the Democratic labor
Union Said to Be In sympathy
with Insurgents.

Manila, May 30.-Following the seiz-
ure and examination of the books OF
the Democratic Labor union, the gov
eminent, Friday, arrested President
Dominadnor Gomez on charges of mis-
appropriating funds, brigandage,
fraudulent sales of stock and organ
izing an illegal association. Over a
hundred pesos were collected in dues
and contributions. The books show
a deficit of 1000 pesos. 1t is believed
to be possible that part of the AMOUNT
wa stolen before Gomez was elected
president. The government charges
that part Of the fund was used to
furnish arms and food to the insur-
gents of Rial province. This, with
Gomez correspondence with CUTLER
mo and other leaders in the field
forms the basis of the ~brigandage
charge. The union has a membership
of 5000, is closely affiliated with the
nationalist party and is strongly in
sympathy with the insurgents. The
arrest of Gomez has excited the ma
tives. No disorders have occurred, but
the governments action will increase
the feeling of unrest in Manila. which
has been disturbed lately by reports
OF the landing of arms. The situa'
ton, however, is not serious.

place in the hearts of the American
people and to the best of his ability
he has labored honestly to carry out
that pledge"

try's Post Offices.
UNAUTHORIZED INCREASES CUT OFF.
Positions In the Offices In New York
Boston, Brooklyn. st. Louis, Wash
ingtOn, Los Angeles, Louisville.
Chicago and Eight Smaller Offices
are Affected.

Washington, May 30.-As a result OF

not authorized by law, and directed
that their positions be changed to

They were in New York, Boston,
Brooklyn, st. Louis, Washington, Los
Angeles, Louisville, Chicago and eight
other offices.
Among these designations not au-
thorized by law are superintendent

.TORRENT|AL DONNPOURS.
Continued Heavy Rains Creating q
Most Serious Condition In
Northern Kansas.
TRAINS DELAYED IN EVERY DIRECTION.
of Families Driven From
Their Homes and Thousands OF
Acres of Growing Crops Ruined
Highest Stage of Water on Rec
ord Predicted.

Topeka, Kas., May 3O.-Railroad
traffic in this city is practically at q
standstill on account of the floods.
The Rock Island. and Union Pacific
are not running any trains, while the
Santa Fe runs only to Emporia and
the Missouri Pacific to Fort Scott.
The flood situation is the worst ever
known in the state. Perhaps 25o
houses are in the flooded district in
Topeka, including several mills and
elevators and the Wolff packing
house.
The conditions in Little Russia"
the Russian settlement in North To-
peka, is serious. The entire settle
ment is under water, and a current
has started through the district. Fear
is expressed that the channel of the
river may change. Several houses
already are twisted on their founda-
tons, and they probably will col.
lapse. Every family has had its house
hold goods damaged, and some have
lost everything.
The Kansas river is five miles wide
at St. Mary's, and the town is half
submerged. The Kansas river bridge
there is partially washed out, and the
river is rapidly rising.
Late Friday afternoon the Kansas
river bridges at Maple Hill, Rossville,
Silver Lake, Bellvue and st. George
were washed out. The new steel
bridge at Willard is damaged beyond
repair, and at Topeka the street rail-
way bridge is useless. Several hun
bred cattle have been drowned.
A startling story comes indirectly
from Manhattan that a cloudburst in
that vicinity has started a four-foot
volume of water down the Kansas riv'
err. River men discredit the story, al.
though they will keep watch for the
threatened rise.
The Rock Island has news of a bad
c%loudburst near Herington, which has
put all the streams out of their banks
Fifteen inches of water fell in Abb.
lene. Business houses are collapsing
and the entire town is panic stricken
1t is impossible to get around On ac
count of the water. Women are
Frustrated, and the people are afraid
of what will happen next. The Smoky
river is three or four miles wide a
Abilene, and every wagon and rail
road bridge around there is out.
Last nights rain extended all ove1
central and northern Kansas, all o.
which is drained by the Kansas river
Rain fell during the morning at many
of the flooded points, and at foul
o'clock another heavy rain, almost /
cloudburst, fell. This will make thu
situation much worse.
To-day the flood is at its hcighth
and the situation is extremely crit
ical for North Topeka, Abilene
Wamego and other towns along thu
Kansas river.
The police and fire departments il
Topeka have organized to rescue PEG
pie from the flood on the north sid,
of the river. The condition there i

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-There Is a pos
s.bility that the Republican national COM
mttee may hold the meeting and rescind
its vote selecting Chicago the place for
the Republican national convention. This
suggestion is based on complaints of pro-
posed extortionate charges by the hotels Of
the city for the convention week. An IL
lustration was brought TO the attention of
Postmaster General Henry G. Payne, who
is a member of the convention committee,
increase its rates four fold, or from S. day
to 500 day. Mr.. Payne at once telegraphed
the hotel manager and also Chairman Han

be the duty of the convention committee
to insist on another meeting Of the national
committee and a decision to take the con-
vention to some other city. There is no
doubt as to the facts regarding the pro-
posed increase charge, as the rate was
named by the hotel management in a let
ter to Chairman Babcock of the congress
sional committee, who wrote for reserva-
tions of rooms during the convention week.
The matter has caused considerable feeling
among the national committeeman here. and

ATTEMPT TO KILL MAX
.N0ROAU, THE NOVELIST
He Is Grazed by One Shot and a
Guest at a Ball Is Wounded
by Another.
ASSAILANT A RUSSIAN

PARIS, Dec. 19.-About midnight tonight
a miserably-clad man fired two shots from
a revolver at Max Nordau, the ltterateur
and vice president of the Congress of Zion
lists, at Zionists' ball at the Sale Char
ras. One of the shots grazed Nordau,
while the second wounded a guest named
Assowedsk.
The would-be assassin was Immediately
arrested. He gave his name as Chain Selilx
I.ouban and said that he was a Russian
revolutionist, aged twenty-three. and had
been chosen by lot to shoot Nordau.
Louban also said that the revolutionary
congress. which had chosen him to kill NJ.
Nordau and which was made up of Nor
dau's political adversaries. was held in
Berne.
1t was learned later that Louban is one of
the Zionists who insisted on the acquisition
of Palestine and that he and his cocoon
spirators at Berne were antagonistic to the
plan advocated by NJ. Nordau and others to
establish the new Zion in Africa.
NJ. Nordau was standing at a window in
the ballroom talking to friend when he
was fired on. and owes his life to a man
who. noticing Louban point the revolver,
prevented him from taking accurate aim.
