A DISPATCH published in yesterday $
Gazette stated that after passing vote
of thanks to the assassins of the late
king and queen, the Servian parliament
adjourned for prayer. Probably this
piece Of hypocrisy breaks the record and
shows how low plane the Servian code
Of morals has reached. No regret for
the savage method of changing rulers
has been shown by the Servian people,
and there is not the slightest probability
that the regicides will be censured even
as a matter of form by the new govern
ment 1t has been decided by the poll
ticians that their names are not to be
published officially. "Good radiance to
bad rubbish" says the Philadelphia
North American, sis the verdict Of the
Servian people, sitting as coroner's jury
in the case of the murdered royal family
and King Peter will hardly venture to
dissent from the finding"

Chamberlain,s ZoIIverein Policy.

London, June 16.-The meeting OF
the cabinet today is fraught with great
Importance and the outcome is awaited
with great interest. There have been
rumors current for several days past that
this meeting would see the withdrawal
of one or more of the ministers. These
rumOrs have been somewhat discounted
by Premier Balfour's brilliant speech in
the Commons, but there are still many
to be found who think that this meeting,
or a very early date, will see the retiring
of Chancellor of the Exchequer Richie
or some other of the opponents of the
scheme, unless Chamberlain, seeing that
the advancing Of his policy at this time
time is decidedly malapropos, will with
draw it.

J.VANcE LEWIS, colored, of Houston,
Tex, spoke at the Shiloh Baptist
Church in Washington last night ON
-'The Southern White Man, the Negro
and Their Relations" During his
speech he said;
This South is the place for the negro. No
field i'm the universe offer him better oppor-
tunities than the South, where there Is not
one industrial gate closed to him. The DIS
cussion Of the social equality problem Is Kill
ing us. The southern negro does not belleVe
i'm social equality. He believe in every race
stavipg i'm its boundaries and when We see
man irving 10 leave his own people he IS re-
garded by ms as a mistit. The white and the
black men of the South are friends; they are
not enemies. When you hear of race war
in the South give il the black eye.
Similar cOmmon-sense expressions are
occasionally heard from the better class
of colored people. Such standin marked
contrast to the aggressive and indolent
negro who wanders from place to place
filling the heads of his hearers with i'm
possible dreams and their hearts with
hatred to Southern people, the only real
friends of the colored race.

The cloud BURST I'm oregon.

Pendleton, Oregon, June l6.-Abner
p. Bradbury, a travelling salesman for a
Portland wholesale house, has Just ar
rived here direct from Hepner, where
he witnessed the terrible flood disaster
He is the first man to reach this place
from the stricken town. Bradbury says
the cloud burst which destroyed Hepner
occurred about two miles above the town,
near Willow creek, which ordinarily is
ten feet wide and 20 feet deep. The
water came pouring down in a solid
mass 30 feet high at the sides and bulg-
ing to an additional height of six or more
feet high at the centre. Every dwelling
and wooden building in the path OF the
flood was swept. The Hepner Hotel,
large three story structure, was destroy
ed. the Palace hotel, which was of brick,
was swept from its foundations but left
intact. The entire area swept by the
food presented an appearance of utter
desolation when Bradbury left yesterday.
A coating of mud and slime two feet
deep covered the ground everywhere and
dead bodies we're to be seen on every
hand. The force engaged in rescue
work was entirely inadequate and the
workers were fast becoming exhausted.
300 bodies have been recovered, Many
thrilling experiences are recited and the
scenes in connection with the terrible
disaster are heart-rending. Relief is
being sent as speedily as possible from
nearby places.

THE TERRIBLE disaster reported in
Heppncr, Oregon, by which about five
hundred persons persisted by a cloud
burt, is fresh addition to the horrors of
the present year. Commissions of ma
ture in the shape of seismic disturbances,
volcanic eruptions, cyclones, tornadoes,
lightning, floods and cloudbnrst have
destroyed many lives in different parts
Of the world recently, while famine has
producedsthe greatest distress in other
places. The warning of the elements
against man and the fruits of his labor
has been going on from the beginning
of time, but it wonld seem that in re-
cent years these works Of nature have
been unusually active.

"Synchronous with a dispatch from
Boston stating that an association had
been formed in that city for colonizing
negroes from the South and distributing

that farmers in that State are making

General Wheeler Explains.

New Orleans, June 16.-General Joseph
Wheeler has written a letter to General
ate reunion here, denying in toto the sensa-
tional dispatches which were sent from here
and Atlanta during the reunion. He mem
toned the fact, well-known by local newspa-
per men, that he did not wear uniform of
any kind while here and therefore could not
have been insulted because he appeared in a
regular army uniform He also points out
that he had purchased his car ticket to New
York three days in advance, and, therefore,
could not possibly have been deemed leaving
the city in huff on the evening of the old
soldiers parade because he had not been fur
nished with a carriage. His train left before
the parade ended

THE UNSETTLED condition of affairs
in Jackson, KY, where the Marcum
assassination trial is in progress, is caus-
ing no little comment throughout the
country, and it is suggested that it Is
high time that the reign of terror was
showing signs of subsistence. On the
contrary, however, the storm centre still
holds to this spot with no sign of NOV
ing. 1t is a sad reflection on sovereign
State when such condition of affairs
exists. Assassination, incendiarism, in
Gmidaton and other horrors are to be
deplored when they rage on the frontier
or in new settlements, but when such
scenes are enacted within comparative
ly short distance OF the national capital
and in an old State of the union, they
are a reflection upon the entire country.
