KANSAS FLOOD LOSSES.
That State Has Been Worst Sufferer
From High Waters.

Kansas City. Mo-, June S.-Kansas
has suffered as result of the recent
floods more than any other state. No
exact figures of the loss sustained can,
of course. be given. but those who have
an intimate knowledge of the sections
submerged and the extent and force
of the floods have been making esti-
mates, and the conclusions that they
have reached may be considered fairly
reliable. The damage done in the prin-
cipal cities and towns is estimated as
follows:
North Topeka. 100000; Lawrence,
s250.Oo0: Salina. 100000; Manhattan,
s150,0o0 Wamego, 100000; st. Marys.
$4,000 Blue Rapids. 100000; Clay
Center, $4,000: Enterprise. 100000;
Concordia, $4,000: Junction City. $780,
900. Solomon. s50.00g Abeline s250,000 !;
Ellsworth, $4,000; Lindsborg, s10o,ooo;
Hutchinson. $100.000 Minneapolis,
100000: Emporia. s65,0o0: Florence,
$4,000: Lincoln Center $4,000: At
Gibson, 100000; Burlington. $4,000;
Hill City, 100000: Beloit, $4,000: Ar
gentine, s2.000000; Kansas City. Kan,
and suburbs, sS.000G00.
No account has been taken of the
smaller towns affected by the floods.
The very lowest estimate that can
be made of the loss done to crops is
s5t0O0,00o. Owing to the lateness of
the season and the condition of the
soil, It is very doubtful if any profit
will be drawn during the remainder
of the year from the farms which were
inundated. AS a consequence there
will be a great deal of individual want
and suffering among farmers, upon
whom the blow fell heaviest.

TO CHECK DIVORCES.
cIergymen of all Denominations to
Form a Union.


Form Union.
New York, June 7.--More than 5O0,-
600 divorces have been granted in the
United States in the last twenty years
according to Rev. William O'Brien Par
dow, S. j., formerly formerly Jesuit
provincial of New York and president
of ST. Francis Xavier College. He esti-
mates that 100000 American children
have seen their homes broken up. The
number Of persons divorced would pop
ulate the state of Nebraska, or the city
of Philadelphia. They are more than
the population of each of twenty five
states and territories of the Union
These figures are from statistics and
estimates furnished by Rev. Father
William o'Brien Pardow
There is to be union of the clergy
of all denominations-Rom Catholic,
Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Methodist
and many more-to stem the divorce
tide in this country. Already sub
committee has been formed. II is to be
a syndicate of churches of different be-
iiefs, working side by side.
IT is to be union Of courtesy, not
of law, civil or ecclesiastical, Briefly,
when clergyman of any church, what
ever the denomination, refuses to mar
ry a divorced person, clergymen of all
other churches in the syndicate will by
courtesy respect his action and like
wise refuse to perform the ceremony.
The Episcopalians, headed by Rev.
DR.. David II. Greer, rector of St. Bar
tholomew's. where the Vanderbilts and
many others Of the fashionable set
worship, began the movement, DR..
Greer takes practically the same POSI-

tion as the Roman Catholics, for whom
Father Pardow, leader Of the Jesuits
in New York, has taken up the cudgels.
Now going with them in the movement
are such men as Bishop Doan, of AL
bany, the Venerable Bishop Clarke, of
Rhode Island, Bishop Paret, of Mary
land and Francis Lynde Stetson, all
representing the Episcoralians; Rev.
DIR. William Henry Roberts. of Phila-
delphia, stated clerk of tie general as
sembly; Rev Charles A. Dickey and
Rev. Drs. Mc1lvaine, Nichols and Nc
Caughan, and John E. Parsons, for the
Presbyterians, and Bishop e. G. And

AFTER COAL ROADS
Interstate Commerce Commission In
vestisatins Hears.'s Complaint That
Roads are Violating Anti-Poolius
om

New York. June S--The Interstate
commerce commission returned here
today 10 continue the inves tigation in
to the com,siaints of w. r. Hearst that
the coal c.rrying railroads have vio-
lated the stnti-pooling section of the
Sherman antitrust law. President
Olyphant. of the Delaware and Hud-
son Railroad was the first witness.
He saia that for the last ten years the
company's profits have been about Z
per cent. The company increased the
price because the exigencies of trade
justified the demand. I'VE could get
higher price If we should ask for IT, he
added. %but out Of defersaee 10 The
needs of the public, the price of the
company's coal was kept AT S.. just
after the strike, when the Independent
operators were getting SS 10 S1O.''
Judge Campbell, legal representative
of the Beading system, declared that
his clients were ready TO concede the
price of coal is about 50 per ton and
that the price will be Increased until
$3.50 Is reached.

cHoATE SEES PRESIDENT.
Conference Believed to Bear on the
Russian Question.

Washington, June S.--That important
international negotiations betraying
some relation to the attitude of Ameri-
ca and Great Britain toward certain
events in which Russia is interested
are now under consideration, was
made evident today by the hurried visit
of Ambassador Choate to Washington.
Mr.. Choate arrived at the capital early
this morning and was with the presi-
dent for nearly two hours In the af-
ternoon Secretary Root took him for
a drive, during which call was made
on Attorney General Knox. This even
ing Mr.. Choate dined with Sir Michael
Herbert at the British embassy, and
later took the midnight train for New
York.
No official statement of any kind was
made as to the object of the confer
ences, but In view of the fact that the
Jewish situation in Russia and the
Manchurian question are two topics of
great Importance in the minds OF cab
met membeSs. 1t Is presumed that Mr..
Choate came here TO express his views
at the solicitation of the president.
There Is ample reason to believe that
Ambassador Choatc conferred with the
British ambassador, Sir Michael Her
bert, on the impression given out by
Ambassador Mccormick that the larger
part of the news of the Jewish situation
in Russia comes to the American pub
liz. thru English sources. Secretary
Hay is known to be skeptical on this
question, and it Is said at the state
department that Americas attitude is
based on news received at first hand.
Count Cassini, the Russian ambas-
sador, intends to cali on President
Roosevelt today to discuss Russo-Am-
erican relations. The administration is
fully aware that the Russian govern
ment is much annoyed because of the
display OF anti-Russian sentiment at
mass meetings in the United States,
altho the Russian government has
stated that every endeavor will be made
to prevent recurrence of the cruelties
in Bessarabia and TO punish the
guilty.

Hazleton. Pa. June S.-The courts

the binding power of the award OF the
anthracite strike commission. The coal
mining firm of Stauffer & Rowe. which
has colliery at Harleigh, has recent
ly disbursed back pay to all the men
vino have been working since last Oc-
tober, when the strike ended. To men
who have since that time quit work the
company refused to give back pay The
miners believe they are entitled to the
back pay under the award, and twenty
suits have been filed before Magistrate
McKelvey. The anthracite award will
thus for the first time be passed upon
by court.
