RIVER FALLING STEADILY.
Missouri at Kansas City Has Dropped
 Over Two Feet.

Washington, June 6.-Special river bulletin: The Missouri river at Kan sas City continues to faN steadily, a fall of 2.1 feet being registered since Friday morning. At St Louis there has been rise of 1.2 feet and there were BAT feet of water on the gauge this morning. The interruption of the rise in the Mississippi north of the mouth of the Missouri will have but little effect on the St Louis stage. The Stage at Cairo was 87.4 feet and a stage of about 42 feet is indicated by Tuesday and a somewhat higher one Wednesday and Thursday.
 That part of St Louis known as the "Island'' is under water with the exoep- tion of fifty or more houses near the Douglass school and the entire city is without gas. Mayor Cook of East St Louis to-day said that the water was on every side and constant watching and working was all that could be done. We shall continue piling sand bags and make every effort to keep the water out as much as possible"

HOT TIME THERE
Politics Boiling Over in Berlin
 At Present.
SOCIALISTS WORKING HARD.

To Win the Elections They Preach
 Cheap Bread and Meat-The Main
 Issue of the Anti-socialists is Loyalty
 to the Monarchy-Many Personalities
 Hurled Back and Forth at the Meet
 ings.
 Berlin, June 6.-There Wero eighty one political meetings in Berlin last night and ninety-six are announced for tonight. What appeared to be an in- terest1ng campaign is now warming up and there is prospect of lively end- ing of the election warfare. This espe- cdauy so in the provinces, where personalities and local interests have aroused considerable feeling. The cap ital being overwhelming N>sociaistic, the other political parties, except in two districts of Berlin. are working their hardest In the country. But the question which politicians everywhere ask each other is: What will the so- cialist vote amount to?'' The issues that the anti-socialisttc parties push to the front are loyalty to the monarchy. to the church, to stable institutions and to the rdghts of property against the goddess, lawlesS, propertyless, greedy disintegrators or dreamers.'
 The socialists lay stress on cheap bread and meat, economic prosperity based on lower tariffs aud freedom of speech and criticism, emitting theoreti- cal discussions. Much veyy offensive language is being used on che plat forms and the speakers of all parties are constantly interrupted by cries of That's lie" You know that's false" and other insulting eupr essions Po- lice in uniform are present in every political meeting, none of which can be held without police permH. In-l stances of physical violence have been extremely rare. The impression formed by foreign onlooker at one of these meetings, which are usually held in dance or drinking halls, is that the audience is working itself into a fury and getting ready to mob the orator, who replies to the insults hurled ait him with coarse -jests or cutting epithets.
 Herr Rebel, the socialist leader, who is a. candidate in eleven districts, has been holding open air meetings in Silesia, which have often been attend~ ed by from eight to nine thousand per- sons This is commented upon by the newspapers as being quite an unex- ampled attendance

CLOSING DAY IN LEGISLATURE
Contest is Anticipated on the.
 Railroad Demurrage Bill

Adjournment Will Probably Come
 Week After Next-Just in lime to
 Give Members a Chance to Get
 Ready for Fourth of July Celebra-
 tion.
 Hartford, June 6.-The two branches of the general assembly this week worked out through an immense amount of business, particularly fin ishing with the imporant senatorial re- districting matter, the Danbury Nor nal school and the savings bank bill. There is now very little left to be ac- complished of a contested nature, so that the next three session days will probably wind up all of the matters now in hand, leaving final adjourn ment for Tuesday or Wednesday of the following week.
 The railroad demurrage bill is still to be considered by both houses, and a contest is anticipated on this matter, as the Farmers association has pledged itself against any change In the present law. There is a growing disposition on the. part of the house, however, to make some change in the demurrage law that will be fair alike to the manufacturers of the state and to the railroad, and some sort of a compromise such as the railroad com- mfttee suggested is likely to be adopt ed. The railroad committee is still holding back several trolley incorpora- tion matters, but these will all be in early this coming week. The telephone bill, granting other companies the right to operate in this state, and the gen eral incorporation law are also to be acted on, but otherwise the great mass of business of the present legislature is finally done with.

HE DIAMOND SMUGGLERS
Bring Precious Stones in Below
 Their Real Value

No Law Broken But if Continued May
 Revolutionize Diamond Business
 The Stones Are Brought In Through
 the Smaller Ports.
 New York, June 6.--An investigation which has just eliminated in a hearing before United States General Appraiser Sharratts has brought to light method of importing diamonds below their real value. However, it violates directly no law yet discovered. It is clear, how ever, the officials say, that if allowed to continue, it will revolutiOnize the dia- mond business, affecting particularly whatever of uniformity there is in the price of diamonds. The hearing grew out of an importation through the port of Norfolk, Va. The diamonds were appraised there at 200 and 210 florins. MT Sharratts brought the stones to this city and after consulting several eX- perts, the appraisement was raised to 21O and 235. 1t developed during the hearing that the Norfolk concern had never imported diamonds before, and that these diamonds had originally been purchased abroad by New York firm, which in turn sold them to the Norfolk dealer, who imported them.
 Much evidence came out of the hear ing concerning the practice of certain New York dealers in importing stones through smaller ports, where, 1t is as serted, the appraisers are not in touch with the fluctuations in prices.

FIRE IN PURROY HOME.
Woman Returned for Jewels and Was
 Nearly Suffocated.

W AOA oONCIS <AAN W e1o
 Nearly Suffocated.
 New York, June 6.-Fire originating in a peculiar manner has almost de- stroyed the home in Fordham of Henry D. Purroy, formerly county clerk. Mrs Purroy was nearly suffo- cated by smoke during her plucky ef- forts tn save her jewels and several bundles of valuable papers belonging to her husband. She was carried out unconscious by a fireman. An explosion on the overhead trolley two blocks from the house caused the trolley wire to become crossed with an electric light circuit. The latter ran over the roof and into the Purroy home. The heavy charge from the troll ley caused ignition in the house and the upper rooms were soon ablaze.
 Mrs Purroy caught up her jewels and valuable papers and fled. Return ing for other articles, she was over come by smoke and narrowly escaped death. Meanwhile her husband, un- conscious of the damage being caused at his tlomicile, was an interested spec tator at the scene of the trolley break down nearby. The loss was limited to about $15,000.

Fortunately Only One Person
 Was Seriously Injured.
LIVE STOCK SWEPT ovERBoARD

Collision Occurred During Heavy Fog
 Shortly After the Steamer Martha's
 Vineyard Had Left Vineyard Haven
 -The Vessels Came Together With
 a Great Shock and the Steamer Lost
 Herr Upper Decks Back As Far As
 the Paddle Box.
 Woods Hole, Mass, June 6.-The steamer Martha's Vineyard, plying be- tween the island of Martha's Vineyard and this port, having on board large number of passengers, the United States mail and a heavy freig&t, collld- ed with fishing schooner off Vineyard Haven in dense fog this forenoon, an was badly damaged. One man was seriously injured and a number of pas sengers were made unconscious by the shock of the collision. The damage to the steamer was all above the water line and she succeeded in reaching this port. The name of the fishing schooner was not ascertained by those on board the steamer owing to the fog. She lost her fore rigging.
 The collision occurred not long after the steamer had left Vineyard Haven at S:15. A thick fog obscured the sound and the Martha's Vineyard was hardly clear of tie harbor when she struck the schooner. The vessels came together with great force. The steam CTS bow struck the schooner forward, the bowsprit Of the fisherman raked the steamer, carrying away both the upper and lower decks back to the pad dle box. The fore rigging of the vessel became entangled in the wreckage and was carried away. Russell Hancock of Chilmark, a passenger on the steam CT, was badly injured and a number of other passengers, unable to escape the sweep of the schooner's boWsprit, were knocked insensible.
 The vessels fell apart almost imme- diately after the collision and the schooner drifted away in the fog before her name could be learned. A nasty examination of the Martha's Vineyard showed that she waslnot leaking and it was decided to make for this port She reached here at 9:30. MT Hancock needed medical attention. The others who had suffered in the collision had recovered before arriving here.
 A number of head of live stock in transportation on the steamer were swept overheard, but it is thought they may have. been rescued by the schoon- er's crew.
 '-7>The Martha's Vineyard is a side wheel steamer of 515 gross tons. She is I'll feet long, 28 feet beam, feet 4 inches deep. She was built at Brook Vn, N. T., in 1871.

THE DAILY PAVEMENT.
Strikers Hope Settlement will Be Rt

Strikers Hope Settlement Will Be Re-
 suit of Bridgeport Conference The strikers executive committee is. sued the following statement this after noon:
 'sTwenty-one weeks ago tonight since we decided, after finishing our days work and holding an enthusiastic meeting, to strike against the company we had worked faithfully for for years. | And since that time the company that refused to grant us meagre increase in salary has been losing money day after day with a steadiness and magni- tude that most directors would try to call halt to. These directors, how ever, have assumed the attitude of financial patriots and have proclaimed that the ambition of labor must be smothered and that here was the case to show the world that capital was might and right And the only thing these directors have accomplished SO far Is a tremendous loss of money here and the inauguration of another strike in Bridgeport, and great public 1ncon- venience in both places.
 We understand that there was an important meeting yesterday of com mittee of Bridgeport business men anG some of the directors of the company. When the Waterbury business mems committee requested an interview with President Young in this city it was turned down. The meeting in Bridge port yesterday, therefore, would indi- cate to Us that the company is getting ready to do something toward settling these two strikes. Perhaps, if this Is true. the settlement of the present pub lie inconvenience here may be in sight. We are sure we hope so.
 'sTo show how arrogant some of those fresh strike-breakers are.s and how they like to assume domineering attitude when they meet our men, wek will relate an incident which occurred yesterday. Several of the boys out on ? strike were walking along when car came up to them, and when about to pass one of the strikeIbreakers turned around and shouted: Say, send a cou- pie of cases of Bass ale up to my room, will you? It is such acts of aggrava- tion that have caused considerable bad feeling and trouble in the past It is pretty tough to see another fellow going in and taking your job under such conditions. but when they insiTu- ate that they are getting so much out of the position you couldn't live on that they swim in Bass ale, that's tougher"

Fire Haze Six Hundred Mile. at Sea

Fire Haze Six Hundred Miles at Sea,
 NEW YORK, June 6.-Mariners of westward bound vessels arriving at this port had eager questions to ask of pilots who met the incomers off the bar. Was New York entirely consum- ed or had another Mont Pelee erupted in its vicinity? Some of the wayfar- CTS had entered the great field of smoke when 600 miles out at sea and had found patches so thick as to make it necessary to slow down the engines to half speed. Through the thick haze the sun glowed dimly like a wafer pasted on the sky, and at times there came fall of fine white ashes which made the voyagers think of volcanic dust. Most of the incomers had near ed port prepared to hear of some stu pendous disaster. Captain Scott of the British tank steamship Tuscarora said that his, vessel had run into the haze early Wednesday morning, the ship then being fully 600 miles from Sandy Hook. g
