THE SEVERED CITIES|
The Kansas Citys No Longer
 In Communication
Bridges Washed Out by the Rising Kaw Which Threatens to Get Higher.

Kansas City. Mo, Aug. 11.-Boats are again being used to transport persons between the two Kansas City's. the James street foot and wagon bridge and the Metripolitan Street Railway company's bridge over the Kansas river having been carried away by the strong current. The river is higher than at any time since the June flood and other structures are in danger. The wrecked bridges are temporary pile affairs constructed hastily two months ago. A further rise is expected as half a dozen tributaries to the Kan sas west of here are bank full.
 The river has been turbulent for over a week past and the strong current iias brought in great quantities of Grift- wood from the west. The James street bridge was partially wrecked yestcr- day. Soon after it went out this morn ing it foated down and took out the street railway bridge, Nsevar'n,y the main line of communica across th" river and carrying with it the Kansas City, Kan, gas rlaiu ard the telephone cable The wreckage of the two bridges finally lodged against the Chicago and Great Western railway bridge and Wnllt II Wtdkeliet tlloil SlI uttii ant put it out of service. it will t is be- lieved. remain intact.
 Further on much driftwood caught at tho lowlilc bridge, which furnished the Missouri city with it's principal wa ter supply. No damage resulted to this bridge and no apprehension is felt regarding it unless there is a great rise irl the river. which seems unlikely. At most. the river will not rise above five feet higher. All streams in Kansas, in cludinE the Kaw, the Smoky Hill and the Republican rivers are rising, the result of heavy rains last night, and this water is expected here late tomor- row. The stock yards company has a large force of men at work protecting it's pile bridgo over which live stock for the Armour packing houses is driven from the main yards. General Manager Rust feels confident that the structure will stand.
 The belt line bridge is being kept in place by heavily laden freight train.

DIED. OF HEART FAILURE
Young Woman's Fatal Ascent of a
 Mountain Range.

Santa Barbara, Cal, Aug. 17.-An in- Miss Catherine Grathwol, who died on the mountain trail to the summit of the Santa Ynez range yesterday, de veloped the fact that the young wo- ure brought about by exhaustion. The corOner's deputies who went after the remains returned this morning after a most difficult and hazardous trip. The body had to be tied on the back of a horse and brought over the narrow trail in the darkness.
 Miss Grathwol had requested the friends with whom she was making the ascent on hor seback to proceed without her. after half the distance had been covered, stating that she would remain until their return. The party went along only a couple of miles and then returned. Not finding Miss Grathwol wheer she had been left. they proceeded a short distance along the trail and found her D, cstrate body lying in the sun. Efforts to revive her were futile and she died half an hour later Miss Grathwol came to Santa Barbara five months ago from St. Paul. accompa- nied by her mother, hoping to regain her health.
 The other members of the party have returned uninjured.

San Francisco Calf, Aug 17.-St. Louis and Salt Lake are the chief com petitors of Denver in the contest for the meeting place of the national en- campment in 1904. All three cities are making strong fights, but talks with many delegates indicate that St. Louis stands q good chance of capturing the prize. The argument presented that visitors to the C.. A. R. reunion will also have an opportunity of seeing the Worlds Fair has had much weight, which may be shown when the ballot is taken.
 All of the state delegations are now established in their headquarters, most of which have been concentrated with in few blocks of the triumphal arches at the intersection of Market, Kearney. Geary and Third streets. Meetings of old friends, mary of whom had not seen each other for years. were ire quent during the day.

The simultaneous ar rival of q large delegation from the Sacramento valley and of a trainload Of customers today caused d temporary were soon assigned to comforta ble quarters.
 The leading officers and many mem bsrs of the Women's Relief Corps and Ladies of the G. A. R. are here and interesting sessions of these auxillar- ies are anticipated.

 celled the Bids.

Washington, D. C., Aug, 17.-The postmaster general has cancelled all the bids for printing in connection with the money order system except that or which the award to Paul Herman for the money orders was made.

 The new money order forms will be on paper Of the best quality but will not have the distinctive mark. The bids will be opened September 5th, and it is expected that the awards will be made by the 18th of the month.

Hereto fore Wynkopp Hollenbeck & Company have had most of the contracts for supplying blanks.

London. Aug. 17.-Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, replying to a request for q short statement of his fiscal propos- als. has written as follows: "I have never suggested any tax whatever on raw materials, such as wool or cotton, and believe that such a tax would be entirely unnecessary for the purpose in view, namely for mutual preference for the colonies and for enabling us to bar gain for better terms with our foreign competitors.
 As regards food there is nothing in the policy of tariff reform which I have put before the country which need increase in the slightest degree the cost of living of any family in the coun- try"

SECESSION ANTICIPATED.

Panama, Colombia, Aug. 1.-The unanimous rejection of the Panama canal treaty by the senate has caused a profound impression here in all cir cles. The question on all lips is what will become of Panama The only con solation the isthmians have is that the rest Of the republic, with exchange at very high figure and with an up ward tendency, will suffer a great deal more. It seems that the government never expected the treaty to be ratified and it was not supported at all in the senate.
 General Valazoo, an old veteran and distinguished army officer, has been appointed military commander Of the department of Panama. It is thought the fears caused by the rumors of a secession movement on the isthmus may have influenced the appointment.

IsTHMUs DISAPPOINTED.

Colon, Aug. 1.-The rejection of the canal treaty by the Colombian senate has produced a tremendous sensation on the isthmus. It was generally be- lieved that the treaty would pass with some modified tions.
 There is good reason to suppose that the ma ajority of the members of the senate regard the Spooner amendment to build canal by the Nicaraguan route. if the Panama route was re- jected by Colombia, as a mere threat on the part of the United States. They are convinced that the Nicaraguan project is impossible and that the Unit ed States will again deal with Colom- bia.
 The rejection is q. heavy blow to property owners here, who have been investing heavily on the prospects of the treaty being ratified.
