TERRIFIC FLOOD IN COLORADO.
Every Bridge in Trinidad Has Been
DESTROYED.

Trinidad, Colo, Oct "a terrific
dood struck the city of Trinidad and
the whole valley along the Las Animas
river, devastating wide section and
causing a money loss which at pres
ent cannot be estimated, but which
may reach one million dollars. So
far as known there was no loss of
life but there were many narrow es-
capes.
Every bridge in the city of Trim
idad is out, the Santa Fe station is
demolished, all the railroads are tied
up and the telephone and telegraph
services completely suspended. More
than thirty city blocks in the residence
and business sections were from two
to four feet under water along the
river
The food was caused by the heavy
rain which has been falling for two
days. Warning of the flood was given
when the river left it's banks by re
volver shots and the ringing of the
fire alarm, followed by the blowing of
all the locomotive and shop whistles
in town. Citizens upon RATS made of
sections of sidewalks padded through
the streets rescuing families which
were in danger.

SEEK A BURIED TREASURE.
Mexicans in Concerted Effort to Find
Hoarded Gold.


Reliable parties from Westphalia
report that a number Of MexicanS
with teams ,pIows and scrapers are ex-
cavating in that vicinity claiming to
have in their possession maps and
charts showing treasure to be buried
there to the amount of 100000 in
Mexican doubloons.
They say that the treasure is buried
near what is known as the Bull Tank
and have agreed to pay the owners
of the land on which they are at work
privilege of excavating. This treas
ure is said to have been buried during
the Texas and Mexican war. 1t is
said a tradition has existed that a
large sum in Mexican doubloons was
buried somewhere on the banks of
Pond creek and another that there
was treasure of considerable amount
in Mexican Money buried at some
point along the banks of the Brazos
river near. Marlin.
Many excavations have been made
to locate the buried treasure, both on
Pond creek and on the Brazos river
These efforts were not only made by
home people, but strangers have gone
in and excavated, among whom were
Mexicans. A few years ago it was
no uncommon thing to see deep holes
dug along the banks of these streams,
presumably by parties in search of
the lost treasure, but if any money has
ever been found in this manner the
fact is not known.-Galveston News.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Representa-
tive William Alden Smith, of Michi-

day a touching incident of a recent
conversation he had with Senator Han
ma. He went to Senator Hanna in the
senate chamber one day and invited
him to attend, as one of the distin-
guished men Of the country, the semi
centennial celebration of the founding
of the republican party, to be held at
Jackson, Mich, on July 6, next.
II don't know where 1 will be then, ;"
was the senator's pathetic reply to the
invitation
"Why, you will be right here. of
course returned Representative
Smith, reassuringly.

/ won't"

chamber" said Mr.. Smith, "and, look
ing back at the senator, wondered if
he had a promotion that he might not
live long. The impression made by his
words never left me-"
AS Speaker Cannon left the presi-
dents office Tuesday he did not at
tempt to disguise the sorrow he felt at
the death of Senator Hanna. "Yes," 4"
said he, 81 knew him very well, and
liked him, very much-very much.
remember, told Mrs. Hanna one time
that l liked her husband as much as
it was lawful for one man to like an
other" But he got no further. His
voice choked with emotion, and unre-
strained, tears streamed down his
cheeks.
At the meeting of the cabinet Tues
day the death of the Ohio senator was
lamented deeply. All the members
entertained for him the profoundest
regard and respect The opportunity
afforded by the meeting was embraced
by all present to pay personal tributes
TO their dead friend. Little business
was transacted. The members decid-
ed to assemble at the white house at

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
President and Attaches Shared in ths
General Sorrow.

Washington, Feb 17.-At the white
house Tuesday the president and all
the attaches shared in the general sor-
row over the death of Senator Hanna
President Roosevelt. the members Of
his cabinet, senators and representa-
tives in congress and callers of all
classes sadly paid tribute TO the mem
ory of the dead statesman. From the
entrance of the lamented Mckinley
into the white house, Senator Hanna
was a conspicuous figure at the eXecu.
tive mansion. Both before and after
he became a member of the senate
Mr.. Hanna was a frequent caller at
the white house, and his visits have
been frequent since Mr.. RoOsecelt sue
ceeded to the presidency. President
Roosevelt entertained a cordial regard
for Senator Hanna and the senator
cordially reciprOcated that feeling.
Their personal regard was based on
the firmeSt respect. While they differ.
ed at times, as strong men may differ,
their personal relations never were
endangered by the differences. Indeed
20 high was the regard in which the
president held Mr.. Hanna's ability as
political manager and as a potent
force in national affairs that a few
months ago he requested him urgently
in the event of his nomination for the
presidency to assume again the cares
and responsibilities of directing the
national campaign. While it was fear
cd Mr.. Hanna's i'll health might induce
him to decline again to accept the
craftsmanship Of the republican nation

the time he was stricken by his fatal
sickness a final answer to the presi-
uent's request.

In the meantime Mr.. Mccormick,

moments. 1t was a sinking spell which
terminated in ten minutes. Just after
his eyes closed in death Mrs. Hanna
was able to come into the room. She
bore up we'll under the ordeal and
Monday night she showed calmness
and bravery.
Washington, Feb. IS. = Without
pOmp or ceremony the remains of Sen
ator Hanna at 11:15 Wednesday were
conveyed from the Arlington hotel to
the senate chamber, where the official
exercises were conducted. The cere-
mony was dignified and simple, in con-
sOnance with the late senator's char
acter The senate chamber lent itself

tically barren of decoration, and the
dark furniture, heavy walls and sub
dued light were quite in keeping with
the sorrowful proceedings which were
the occasion Of the gathering. Never
had a more distinguished body of peo-
pie been collected in Washington to
do honor, either to the living or the
dead, and rarely has there been wit
messed here a more impressive pro-
ceeding.
The fragrance Of the floral tributes
filled the great space of the senate
chamber, and the display was never
equaled in recent years, not excepting
the time when the body of President
McKinly lay in state on the great cat
afalque.
The train bearing the remains of
Senator Hanna left Washington for
Cleveland at o'clock Wednesday
night. On the train were all the mem
bers of the late senator's family and a
number of personal friends. The cas-
ket was taken from the United States
