FLOOD SWEPT
 TRINIDAD Colorado Town is Water
 bound. NO FATALITIES OCCUR The Property Loss Will Reach $f, ,000, ,000 Mark. Families are Left Homeless and Rescue Work Was Conducted on Rafts
 rmprsvised From Board sidswaIks.

Trinidad, Colo. Sept. so.--A terrific flood struck the city of Trinidad and the whole valley along the Las Ant. mas River, devasting a wide section and causing loss which will reach sl, ,ooo0 0o0 So far as known there was no loss of life. but several are res ported missing.
 Every bridge in the city of Trinidad is out. the Santa Fe station is demof- ished. all the railroads are tied up and the telephone and teiegraphic ser vice completely suspended. More than thirty city blocks in the residence and business portions were from two to four feet under water along the river.
 The flood was caused by the heavy rain which has been falling for twu days At : o'clock last night the storm assumed cloudburst proportions and at 2 o'clock this morning the Las Animas river went over its banks Al s:s0 o'clock 1t was impossible to get within a block of the river bed at any point and Commercial Street was flooded for three blocks In the heart of . the business district.
 Meantime the electric light and gas plants had been flooded and the city was in complete darkness. Hundreds of citizens thronged the streets on ths edge of the submerged districts earry. ing lanterns and doing their best tt provide shelter for those driven from their homes Warning of the flood was given when the river left its banks by revolver shots and the ring. ing of the fire alarm, following by ths blowing of all the whistles in town.
 Citizens in rafts made of sections oi sidewalks padded through the city res cuing families in danger. The new Bac. ca hotel, q twostory structure just near, ing completion at cost of $20,00o wa, destroyed The water then ate iti way through the fifty feet Of ground to the. Santa Fe depot which was car. ried away. The Cafdenas Hotel, adi Joining. barely escaped a similar fate an acre of ground being washed awas near ft The Rio Grande bridge at E Moro is out and the Santa Fe right ol way In many places has been washee out. Railroad trafic is entirely sus. pened and business is paralyzed.
 It was reported today that the fiooc was due ti a break in the city reser, voir, but this is erroneous. The reser' voir is safe.

 Atlants, Ga, Sept, 3o.-The principal witness in the preliminary trial of Charles L. Mansion. charged with coun- terfeiting s10 Buffalo bills. was wynne. the self-confessed counterfeiter. who was arrested in St. Louis in connection with the queer money" makers recent iy discovered in Atlanta.
 WynKe testified that he and Man ston were the men who made the plates, but that Mansion did that part of the work which required the skill of an expert. His reason. according to his testimony, for not informing on Man ston before this was his regard for Manston's wife and children.
 Other witnesses were introduced bearing on the matter of expert en- graving. The hearing will be contin- ued tomorrow. Mansion is one of the best known engravers in the South, having been manager of the Southern Engraving Company here for a number of years.
 He was connected with The New York Journal before he came here. He Ois well known in religious circles of the city. and his friends assert he will como clear of the serious charges against him

LINES PUSHED TO EAST

Field Marshal oyama has begun the lonE-expected advance upon the Rus elan army at Mukden and a coincid-nt movement against Sinmintin is indicat- ed by the fact that the Japanese have occupied siaobeyho. west of the Liao river.
 There Is concentration of Japanese forces in the vicinity of the Yentai mines and the advance lines are being gradually pushed eastward. General sakharoff. in the dispatches to the war office at St. Petersburg reports suc- cssses in several engagements of a minor character.
 An undated dispatch from General Kurokrs headquarters reports the Is-es- ent Japanese military organization to be as efficient as 1t has been at any time since the war began. There is. no definite news from Port Arthur. Change in the Russian ministry of ma rine and in naval commanders are an- uounced. on high authority. The new head of the admiralty, it is said. will be vice-Admiral Doubasoff. an officer of wide experience in war and the present head of the technical bureau of the ministry of marine.

cd to Rear Admiral CkouIxunin. the present chief of the Black Sea fleet. Admiral BirfIsn will be trausferred from the Baltic to the Black Sea. while yeziago, hitherto Admiral Birilen's as- distant will take charge of the Baltic ports fleet.
 vics-Admirai Doubason enjoyss the highest esteem of the officers of the Russian navy. He is q man of the highest ability and energy. His ex- perience In the technical branch of the service renders him most At to have charge of the admiralty. in view of the large shipbuiding program that is con tenplated as the result of the present war. Like the Admiral Maknroff he commanded one of the parliamentary tor- pedo boats that blew up Turkish monitor.
 The selection of Rear Admiral Chour kunfn for the task of taking out tho Pacific squadron is generally approved. He has seen much work and service in the Far East. He was port admiral at v1adivostok from 1888 to 1901. Since that time he has held the post of director of the naval college.

 gestIOns Against Pest.
 washington. Sept. so.-The depart ment has issued a report on its inves- tiRation of the problem of controlling inc boil weevils in cotton seed and al ginneriee
 The report makes several recon mendations designed to greatly retard the present rate of spreading of the cotton pest and says that such means of control are imperative.
 The report recommends storage of the seed in a buildings separate from the seed cotton storage house; the in- stalIation in the latter of special clean CTS or troopers which also would fa- ciliate ginning; more extensive use of cleaner feeders and cotton cleaners in the gin house proper; the trash there from to be so treated as to destroy the weevils and the perfecting of device for removing and destroying the wee wills in the seed and notes.
 The report says that wherever the system of handling and ginning cotton Is not found to be effective in removing weevils, as In practically all the small CT and many of the larger ginneries in Texas and Louisiana. the seed should be sacked and fumigated. Farmers are urged to adopt precautions to pre- vent the introduction of the weevils in seeds or hulls for feeding purposes. az we'll as in ginnery refuse. The re- port concludes that 1t does not seem possible to control the boil weeviI ef- fectively in oil mills.

 Thursday.
 { St. Petersburg. Oct. 1.--(2:ze q. m. The war ofiice at late. hour of the night gave out telegram from Gen eraf sakharoff dated September 30, de- scribing successful onslaught upon a Japanese advance guard near ventai on September 2s. The Japanese began the fight by attacking position held by the Russians at oulitaidze, two miles south of the Hun river. The Russians withdrew and then counter marched and occupied the enemy's po- sition at Toumytsa, north of Yetai. and drove the Japanese as far as Yentai station, losing four men wounded. whereas the Japanese lost twenty kill ed or wounded.
 E General sakharoff further reports that a reconnaissance on September 20 showed that the Japanese force was concentrating in increasing rsumbers along the Yentai branch of the railroad and that there is also considerable con- centratfon of the Japanese along the Taitse river nelr Bensihu.
 General Sakharoff's telegram. as given to the press. contains no mention of developments on the eastern flank This silence probably Is due to the fact that details of operations telegraphs6 to the Emperor at Odessa had not reached the general stan.

BOXER UPRISING.
Unrest Among Natives in Chili Causes
 Alarm.

Alarm.
 New York. Sept. 30.-Unrest Is in- areasing among the natives in South Chilli, north Honan and west Shantune districts of China. according to a Her ald dispatch from Pekin. The new anti-foreign society. the Tsaiyuan. is spreading rapidly even during the pres- snt harvesting of good crops.
 The situation is much the same as in 1900 without the famine incentive. The south ChiI mission of Canadian Presbyterian Church and the mission of the American board are in the in- feeted region.
 The placards of the new society te- anR circulated are identical with those once used by the Boxers, with the fol- lowing addition:
 'Tf every member will distribute thirty copies we shall become as num- erous as the Boxers. and on October IL inc ChunRyiang festival, all foreigners will be destroyed.
 The membership of rsaiyuan includes clerks. subordinate customs officials Ruddbist priests and influential natives
 The foreign ministers have conf. AsDce in the ability of tse viceroy to s,,nnress the infection. That official is the same who suppressed the Boxers oi sbantung in 1900. Tho situation is not critical at present.

New York. Sept. so.--Jndge Parker took the s:4S train tonight from Wee hawken to Esopus. He ia expected to return here next Monday.
 Senator German. of Maryland. visit ed the judge again today and during the hour he spent with the Democratic nominee they went ever together all that has been done during the cam paign and ali that has been contemplat- ed. Their aiscussion. 1t is said, had to do largely with the reconciiiations among the many clements of the Dem ocratic party which have not been In harmony.
 Neither Judge Parker nor Senator German, who Is connected with the national campaign In an advisory ca pacity, is giving attention to details. The important and broad questions. the movement to bring out Democratic votes. the measures which are neces- sary to bring factions together and the steps that should be taken to fur ther unite the party are the questions which engross the candidate and the senator today. Party leaders express themselves as highly pleased with the visits to New York of Judge Parker as tending to bring about even harmoni- ous relations. To that end Judge Park CT will return to this city next Mon- day
 Receives visitsrx Judge Parker began his day with q long walk on Fifth Avenue. returning to the hotel for breakfaAt. Mayor Mcclellan called few minutes later. Senator Clark, of Montana. talked to Judge Parker concerning the situation in the West and said the Democrats will certainly carry Montana and he thought Colorado and Nevada.
 Senator Clark made an appointment for former Lieutenant Governor spriggs of Montana. who will call on the Judge later and give him details regarding the Northwestern canvass. Other callers were Colonel Honey. formerly Q Democratic leader of Rhode Island. August Belmont and William F. shee- han
 N judge Parker will start home this evening. He will return here next week. probably on Tuesday. and will attend reception for him at the Man haitian Club Wednesday night.
 Cieveland's Position.
 In referring to the probability that Grover Cleveland would not speak at the rally as announced MT. Parker said;
 His position will be still further defined in many proper and efficient ways of communication before the close of the campaign. He has no purpose of shirking any such discussion of the issues as his health will permit and which will aso be consistent with his relation to the party and to the public by reason of his position as an ex- President. But 1t cannot be announce ed too emphaticaily or with too much authority that he will not make speeches at any time or place"

 Mitchell admitted that he had Hux- gested hanging the judge and a few lawyers but said this was all in fun. He grew wrathy when croas-examiried by the solicitor and said Solicitor pef- tus should have a rope around his neck for trying to convict an innocent man The defendant caused another ripple of amusement by calling Rev. Frank P. Culver, main witness for the prosecu- ton a fool and saying that if the min- ister went to heaven at all he would be hitched outside.
 The Mitchell case went to ths jury at o'clock and 1t is not likely that the jury will reach an agreement for several hours. The iurymen fiied back into court at the night session ana handed a slip of paper to the clerk. it said: We the jury ina that we ara unable to reach a verdfct.p

 This great Senator from Massachu- setts and our great Senator becema members of the Senate on the same day March (, 1877. but Mir. Hoar had been for several terms q members of the House of Representatives.
 Senator Hoar was seriously troubled with fumbago nearly all of the last ses- sion. So his death. though a great loss to his State and country will not be a surprise to his associates.
 He was. as am informed. a scholar of great and varied learning; and. ee a statesman he was a Puritap of the Pu- ritans. He had a strong desire to gov~ ern. as his remarkable ability and hts wonderful experience made natural and reasonable.
 Some of his arguments in the Senate in addition to the cultivated style shown in his other addresses. had most noticed earnestness and force particularly his argument against sub- jugating tho Philippines; and his de- nunciation of the mode by which the Panama Canal zone was taken.
 Senator Hoar, as man, had character free from even suspicion ot vice or dishonor. He came to CongresH with a moderate estate; and to his hon. or and good name let mankind know he did not Ket rich in Congress-.
