If first reports regarding the loss OF life
it will be one of the most disastrous calami-
ties of the kind that has visited any portion
of the country. Other freshets may have
destroyed as much property. but none has
been so destructive of life as present re-
ports indicate the Kansa flood to have
caused much loss of life. The floods Of 1883
and 1884, which devastated the Ohio river
valley, destroyed many millions of dollars
worth Of property between Pittsburg and
New Albany, but the loss of life was
not great, though thousands of persons
were rendered homeless. In those floods
the loss Of property at Lawrenceburg.
Aurora, Madison, Jacksonville. New
Albany and the intervening country was
estimated at 81 O,00O, and about 241,0O0
people were made temporarily homeless and
dependent. They occurred in February,
and the Legislature appropriated 500. 900 for
the relief of the sufferers. A large amount
was raised besides by popular subscription,
and a steamboat was chartered. by a re-
lief committee, organized in this city, which
distributed supplies wherever they were
needed. At that time more than half Of
the city of Jacksonville was under from
three to twenty feet Of water. and at New
Albany the river reached a height of
seventy-three feet-four feet higher than
the record-breaking flood of 1882 That
flood affected an extensive territory and
caused an enormous destruction OF property.
but few lives were lost. The rise In the
Kansas river seems to have taken the
suburbs of Topeka unawares, and unless
the situation shall be changed by later re-
ports the loss of life has been without
parallel in a river flood.

man for chairman of the judiciary COM

likely to be appointed chairman unless Mr..
Cannon should go outside of the committee
for a chairman. He will do this unless he
appoints Mr.. Overstreet, for no other
Republican member of the present COM

Overstreet is also sixth on the banking and

Mechanics Pavilion. San Francis
CO. Sept. 29.-Eddie Hanlon of this
city received a decision over Benny
Yanger, of Chicago. after twenty
rounds of furious fighting. Incident
ally the spectators were treated to an
exhibition of gameness on the part of
Yanger such as is seldom witnessed
in the prize ring.
1t was hard fought battle in
which Hanlon for the first time
abandoned his crouch. In the begin.
ming of the sixth round he stood up
and fought without his crouch. Prior
to that and up to the ninth Yanger
had somewhat the better of it on
points. He reached Hanlon time and
time again without a return and Han
lonl. coming in, pushed the ''Slash-
err severely with his right. Hanlon.
up to this period, showed no advant-
age. This was the first round which
could be decisively called Hanlon
round.
From this time ON to the sixteenth
he held his own. In this round he
knocked his opponent down with a
right hook on the jaw and seemed to
have Yanger at his mercy. By hang
ing on, however. Yanger managed to
last through the round, although Han
