mails of the North German Lloyd
steamer Prinz Heinrich, which arrived
at Alden July 16. from Hamburg and
Southampton for Yokohama, by the
Russian volunteer fleet steamer Smo-
lensk July Is, having entered a pro-
test against the carrying off of the
mails and asking for a disavowal of
the Smolensk's action and the return
of the captured mail sacks. The Ger
man government. the foreign Office
says, recognizes the right to search
mails when on board the vessel itself,
but claims the Smolensk had no right
to take off mails in bulk from the YES
sell The further argument is ad-
vanced that the right of search can
only be exercised by warship,
whereas the Smolensk traversed the
Dardanelles only recently flying the
Russian commercial flag, not asSum-
ing the character of a warship. The
German government has not taken a
positive stand on this last point, but
leaves the question for future discus
sion and settlement. No answer has
yet been received from Russia The
recent publication by the Russ of ST.
Petersburg of a statement that Great
Britain is about to transfer Wei Hal
Wei to Germany in exchange for
free hand in the Yang Use valley is
secuted at the foreign office, where it
is classed as a revival of an old story
and as having no foundation.

DAM BURST.
Three Hundred Million Gallons of
Water Rushes Down Valley.

Scottdale. Pa, July 1S.-With the
roar of Niagara the new reservoir of
the Citizens Water company burst at
midnight and more than 800 million
gallons of water rushed down the
valley, sweeping all before it and in
undating crops and wrecking build
ings in its path. 1t was discovered
about o'clock that the dam was in
danger of breaking, and messengers
were hastily sent through the valley
to warn the people of their peril
Hundreds of lives were thus saved, for
a few hours later the whole valley was
under water.
The damage to the machinery and
reservoir alone will amount to at
least $4,000. When the torrent swept
down upon the valley buildings were
torn from their foundations and car
ried on the crest of the great wave
like SO many washtubs. Crops valued
at thousands of dollars were COM
pletely wiped out. Bridges were car
ried away. In the gorge just below
the dam huge trees were torn out by
the roots weighing tons and over
turned by the flood. The new pump
and engine installed Saturday below
the face of the dam to pump the leak
age back into the reservoir were
wrenched from their foundations,
propelled twenty yards from their
original positions and buried under
the mass of wreckage from the wall.

WITHIN ITS RIGHTS.
Minister DeIcasse UphoIds Position of
the Holy See.

Rome, July 1S.-From the highest
source it is learned that the vatican
view of the situation between the
Holy See and France is as follows:
The pope regards the dissolution of
the concordat by France as absolutely
certain. The pretext is that the Holy
See before the visit of President
Ioubet to Rome called on Bishop
GRAY of Laval to resign. He refused
and was summoned to Rome to an
swer the gravest charges. The bishop
appealed to the French government,
which claimed that the Holy See was
infringing on the concordat, but as
the bishop had not been punished
Foreign Minister Delcasse acknowl-
edged that the vatican was within it's
rights. The pontiff is firmly decided
to proceed with the case of the
bishop, who if he is not in Rome on
the 28th instant will be SUSPENDED.

Frightened Passengers Nearly Cause
Excursion Boat to Founder.

Chicago July 1S.-Lack of the
usual amount of water ballast and an
exceptionally large crowd of pas
sengers on the steamer Eastland
combined to cause much uneasiness
on the return trip from South Haven
last night when the steamer listed
heavily. The crew hastened to close
the lower portfolios, while many wo-
men secured life preservers and
crowded to the steamers rail. This
caused the boat to settle further to
starboard and some of the passengers
became thoroughly alarmed.
The crew was at once mustered by
the officers and an attempt was made
and women
The passengers refused to obey or
ders, and finally in order to drive
them away from the rail the fire hose
was used. 1t proved effective and the
crowd went to the lower deck.

FOLK IN N WALK.
Nomination of the Circuit Attorney
for Governor Is Assured.

Jefferson City, Mo-, July 1S.-On
the day before the Democratic state
convention meets Circuit Attorney
Joseph w. F. Folk of ST. Louis seems
practically assured of the nomination
for governor. Even if his most deter

name a probable condition that will
defeat him, there is every indication
that the gathering will prove one of
the most interesting from a political
standpoint ever held in Missouri.
The Folk men are trying to force
the selection of Congressman Van
Diver, the manager of Folks cam
paign, as temporary chairman. This
has aroused the antagonism of the
state machine, and bitter fight prob
ablY will result.
