SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 27.-
The fourth section OF the westbound
Santa Pc train running as No. g.
which has been detained IN Arizona
by washouts for the last four days and
had been switched 70 the Southern
Pacific tracks via Deming. n. NJ. ran
into q cloudburst again this afternoon
between Beaumont and Kinda, Cal,
east OF San Bernardino on the main
line OF the Southern Pacific. The rain.
accompanied by hail and a stir gale
OF Wind, came down in torrents. wash
ing out bridges and roads and pour
ing rivers OF water down from the
hills that flooded the railroad tracks
and destroyed The telegraph lines.
When No. encountered the food
ten inches Of water was pouring over
the rails and threatened TO carry away
the tracks at any moment The en-
gineer pushed his train forward, how
ever, and succeeded In crossing the
flooded portion OF the right Of way
and reaching this city. All wires are
down east Of Redlands Junction.
At railroad headquarters in Cotton
IL was stated that mile and a half
of track was washed out near Beau
mont and a mile more near linda
The water carried quantities Of rail-
road ties that were piled along the
right- OF way upon the track and
heaped them high with mud and de-
bris. Railroad men say that the
cloudburst was the worst they have
ever encountered.
The passengers on the train, who
have been practically imprisoned in
the cars for nearly a week by the
washoUts IN Arizona, were almost
panic-stricken by the appearance Of
the food waters again to-day.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 27.-Dan KEEL
ly and F. ". Montague. who escaped
from San Quentin prison yesterday
afternoon. have not yet been appre-
hended. Montague was last seen az
the hog ranch a quarter OF a mile
from the prison, and Kelly was last
seen near the prison. The men were
always together and the supposition IS
that Montague concealed Kelly in his
garbage cart and that both escaped
together.
Some Of the guards think the GRIM
inals escaped in a rowboat, as the
ranch is close TO the water.
All available prison guards, with
the assistance of the Marin County
officers. made a careful search of the
surrounding country last night and
the san Francisco police kept a watch
on the ferry boats, but the escapes
successfully evaded capture.
Warden TOmpkins received infor-
nation this morning that two suspi-
cious characters were seen lettering
in the vicinity Of Mill Valley but the
descriptions Of the suspects did not
tally with those Of Kelly or Montague.
James Phillips. who escaped from
san Quentin last April while herding
cattle near the hog ranch, managed to
evade his pursuers for two weeks. but
was finally captured at Geyserville.
Warden Tompkins says Montague
is hard character and will probably
put up a fight before being captured.

THE PHILlPPlNE MARKETS.

In Judge Parker's remarkable speech
on the Philippines on Saturday,
speech of misstatements and unbal-
anced arguments-he said:
care the Philippine Islands to-day a
self-supporting community? Are not
their efforts toward acquiring such
position embarrassed at every turn
by the Legislation we have forced upon
them? Had we left them to their own
devices they might have dealt With
foreign nations Had we brought
them within the United States of
America they might have dealt with
u.s. To-day they can do neither
In 1897 the total imports into the
United States from the Philippines
were S4,3S3, 740. In 1908 they We're
$l1,373, 5S4-more than two and one
half times as great. Exports nom the
United States to the Islands in 1897
were S94,597, and in 1908 St,O23,9o9-
more than forty times as great. Does
that look much as il the Philippines
could have. commerce neither with us
nor with foreign nations
Judge Parker asks further:
Where are the Philippine markets?
Where the development of their nat
ural resources"
Well, it is hard TO say. If a market
which has increased more than $50
per cent. in, less than seven years is
not developing fast enough fer Par
ker, he should be kind enough to eX-
plain how fast he thinks it would
have developed if the islands lad been

A special to the New York Trib-
une from Parkersburg says: Dave
Hills abuse of the President has done
more to solidify the Republicans of
this State for Roosevelt and the en-
tire Republican ticket than anything
else could possibly have done. The
figures in the poll mentioned give
the head of the ticket 10000 plurality,
and the election OF all five Congress
men by majorities ranging from 5000
to 1000. This is not guesswork, but
the result of actual canvassing in the
field by careful men, and can be de-
pended on. In Kanawha county, the
great southwest centre of the coal
and coke industry, the Republican
majority will be 5000; in Mcdowell,
$500; in Fayette, 1000. and the Re
publicans will carry even Demo
cratic Minso.
