RIVERS OVER THEIR BANKS.
Destroy Immense Amount Of Property
and Make Many Persons Home
less in Pennsylvania.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 1.-THE
city of Will1esbarre and the Wyoming
valley have suffered immense loss by
floods. At Plymouth the entire bust
ness section of the town was under wa
ter. Only a few business houses es.
capped the flood and as a result the
merchants have lost thousands of dol
lars worth of goods.
At Middletown between 700 and 800
houses were surrounded and, could only
be reached by entering the second-story
windows, and many houses were en-
tirely ruined.
Summing up the situation in brief,
over $1,000,000 worth of property has
been destroyed in the Wyoming valley
and over 1000 families rendered home
less. Though the river was falling at
Wilkesbarre towns in the vicinity of
Bloomsbury were experiencing the
worst flood in their history. Five spans
of the great steel bridge erected by the
state at Catawissa were swept from
their piers and carried 400 yards by
the ice. There was almost a complete
suspension of mining throughout the
valley, the water flowing into the COL
lieries faster than it could be pumped

WORDS Of CAUTION
FROM President
ROOSEVELT WARNS OFFICIALS
NOT TO EXCITE ANGER OF
JAPAN OR RUSSIA.
Says Friendship Now Exists with En-
tire World and This Peace Must
Be Preserved by Observance Of
Declaration Of Neutrality.

Washington, March 11.-After q con-
ference with Secretary of State Hay
President Roosevelt yesterday issued the
following executive order respecting the
observance of the proclamation declar-
ing the neutrality of the United States
between Russia and Japan:
"All oficials of the government, civil,
military and naval, are hereby directed
not only to observe the presidents pro-
clamation Of neutrality in the pending
war between Russia and Japan, but also
to sabstainefro either action or speech
which can legitimately cause irritation
to either of the combatants. The govern
ment Of the United States represents the
people of the United States not only in
the sincerity with which 1t is endeavoring
to keep the scales of neutrality exact and
even, but in the sincerity with which it
deplores the breaking out of the present
war, and hopes that it will end at the
earliest possible moment and with the
smallest possible loss to those engaged,
Hard to Avoid 06ense.
''Such a war inevitably increases and
inaames the susceptibilities of the

combatants to anything in the nature Of
an injury or slight by outsiders. Too
often combatants make conflicting
claims to thesduties and obligations of
neutrals, so that even when discharging
these duties and obligations with scrupu-
lous care it is difficult to avoid giving Of
tense to one or the other party. To such
unavoidable causes of offense, due to the
performance of national duty, there must
not be added any avoidable causes.
Friendly with All.
.It is always unfortunate to bring old
world antipathies and jealousies into
our life, or by speech or conduct to ex-
cite anger and resentment toward our
nation in friendly foreign lands. But
in a government emplaye, whose official
position makes him in some sense the
representative of the people, the mischief
of such action is greatly increased. A
strong and self confident nation should
be peculiarly careful not only Of the
rights but of the susceptibilities of its
neighbors, and nowadays all Of the
nations of the world are neighbors one
to the other Courtesy, moderation, and
self-restraint should mark international,
no less than private, intercourse.
"All the officials of the government
civil, military and naval-are expected
so to carry themselves both in act and
in deed as to give no cause for just Of
tense to the people of any foreign and
friendly power, and with all mankind We
are now in friendship.

WEATHER HELPS TRADE.

Indicate Considerable I'm
provement.

New York, March 12-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
more seasonable weather has brought
increased activity in business, normal
conditions existing for the first time
this year at many points,. and there is
evidence of an effort to recover lost
ground and prepare for large spring
trade. Collections are also improving
and structural operations revive with
the higher temperature, stimulating
the markets for building materials and
increasing real estate transfers. There
has been great damage from floods, al
though the severe winter had caused un-
usual preparation for troubles of this ma
ture. Manufacturing returns are favor

The most astonishing strength Of
the Russian army is in its cavalry
branch. The agricultural department
at Washington estimates that in all
the world there are about G5.000, 900
horses. The Russian empire alone has
10000, 900 horses, or nearly half of the
grand total. In the regular army OF
the car there are no less than halt q
million horses, and this number in
time Of war might be easily doubled.
