top of the turret. Moreover, it is not every
day that one of those great naval guns is
replaced. Had it been all there, the gun
proper would have been SO feet long. Its
bore would have been IL inches in diameter
at the muZZle. 1t would have weighed in
itself 10000 pounds and it's jacket which it
wore on the occasion of its first and last
shore leave, weighed an additional $1,000
pounds
1t was an anxious moment when all the
great cables were adjusted and the engines
started and the great cranes iron arm be-

did. Slowly she lifted out; slowly she swung

was to replace the old, full length, full

1t seemed in its perfection almost to mock
at the poor old battered, broken wreck that

service and been broken on the wheel of

which was TO replace the old. 1t took time.
The three operations of moving the old gun

lifting the new gun into place, extended

strike. No board of directors could have
brought the forces TO bear against the strik-
ers which the Irvine government were in
a position to place in the field. The whole
power and authority of the government,
backed by the public opinion of the state,
were arrayed against the rebels, and. in
addition, ,sthe government had the control of
the police, the power TO swear in special
constables, and in the last resort, they
could have called upon the federal govern
ment for military support. If in the case of
a strike of engine men against a private
company the government of the day chose
to remain neutral, the company would be
practically helpless and would have to give
way On the other hand, it must be obvious
that strike of railway servants on a state
owned system could be effectively resisted
only by a strong government. Everything
would depend upon the personnel of the
Ministry. In the recent case We nave had
an ideally firm premier in Mr.. Irvine,
strongly supported by his colleagues, and
with such men in power victory was assured
from the first. Had a weak government
been in office, perhaps partly composed OF
labor members, the results might nave
been diSa strOus.

There were no ceremonies making the in

nothing to mark the event. ScarsSly half a

ENORMOUS PROPERTY LOSS.
Damage From Floods to Kansas Cities
Amounts to Twelve Millions.


Amounts to Twelve Millions.
Kansas City, Mo-, June 8.-Kansas
has suffered as a result of the recent
floods more than any other state.
No actual figures to sustain this
can be given, but those acquainted
with the extent and amount of the
damage have been making estimates
and their conclusions may be con-
sidered fairly reliable: The damage
done in the principal cities is esti-
mated at $12,330,0O0.
No account has been taken of the
smaller towns, although nearly 200 of
these were affected by the foods.
The very lowest estimate that can
be made of the loss done to crops is
$5,000,000. Owing to the lateness of
the season and the condition of the
soil, it is very doubtful if any profit
will be derived during the remainder
of the year from the farms which were
inundated. AS a consequence there
will be great deal of individual want
and suffering among farmers, upon the
whom blow fell heaviest.
At Kansas City, Kan, all day Sun
day gangs of men were at work clear
ing away debris of the floods and there
will be a general resumption of bust
ness today. The packing plants will
start up in measure today and all
will be in full blast before the week
ends.

H. Durand, Democratic candidate for
governor until the last election until
he was stricken with paralysis and
compelled to withdraw from the ticket,

Judge Durand was born in Cobles-

admitted to the bar in 1850. In 1874
he was elected to congress and served
one term. In 1892 Judge Durand was

the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Justice Morse.

Spartanburg, 8. c.. June 8.-Before
the waters Of a mighty food Pacolet
8. c., has been swept from the map
and the great cotton mills Of Spartan.
burg and Clifton, s. c., are completely
wiped out by storm which swept this
part of the country late in the night.
The most conservative estimate of
the number of lives lost is eighty, but
this may be greatly increased by com.
plete returns. The property loss is not
less than $3,5O0,000.
At Clifton alone, 100 operatives are
missing and all are believed to be
dead. During the day dead bodies
were washed ashore here and there
and occasionally dismembered limb
would float to the banks. D. S. JOHN
son, reported Saturday as drowned,
escaped and returned Sunday to find
his wife and four children drowned.
At Converse, thirteen dead are re-
ported, and forty-one at Clinton No.
2. At Clifton No. twenty-six homes
are destroyed; thirteen at Clifton No.
/, and twenty at Clifton No. 8.
The loss at Clifton's three mills
will approximate $2,5OO,000.
At Pacolet the loss is nearly $1,000
900.
The greatest want among the sur
vivors is at Clifton, where 500 are des-
titute.
At Converse Mills, the newest of
Clifton's cluster, the walls we're
washed away and the looms left stand
ing.
Reports from the Seneca river, near
the Georgia line, are better. The
Blue Ridge road between Seneca and
Anderson is intact and the Newry
mill is not badly damaged and will be
running today.
The railroad situation has given
much uneasiness here and throughout
the state.
The Southern railway annullea
trains between Columbia and Spartan
burg, 200 feet of the trestle at Shell
ton, below Union, having been washed
away. The coast line trestle, two
miles west of the city, affords the only
exit from Columbia to the Piedmont
country.
