INTO FLOODED RIVER.
Bridge Gives Way Preeipitating
Twelve or Fifteen Persons Into
the Water-Two Drowned.
(By the Associated Press. )


Los Angeles Cal. March 13-The
Seventh Street Bridge over Los An
geles River fell today, carrying with
it into the flood swelled river twelve
to fifteen persons, two of whom are
believed to have been drowned. The
list includes two unknown men, bodies
thought to have been carried down
the river. Mrs. Clara Webb was
rescued from the flood, bit Is proba-
bly, fatally hurt by falling timbers.
The high water in the river had at
tracted a number Of sight seers to the
bridge. The buttresses of the bridge
had been weakened by the flood, and
when a sudden swelling of the waters
came the supports were carried away
and the bridge collapsed. Police are
on guard to keep people off the
Ninth Street bridge. Flood condi-
tons in Los Angeles and vicinity are
the worst conditions known in many
years.
Los Angeles river, flooded by the
tributaries from the mountains and
from the high country where heavy
floods have occurred, is bank full and
has reached the highest point known
in thirteen years. Much loss has
been sustained by the city from dam
aged streets and broken sewers.
sewers.
Along the coast various other towns
have suffered. At Santa Monica two
piers were destroyed and the damage
along the shore there is estimated at
100000. At Long Beach the dam
age to the wharf and to small boats
is estimated at $4,000.
Trains into Los Angeles on the
Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe are
stalled by washouts. Telegraph and
telephone lines have been blown down
by high wind. The Western Union
has one wire to Chicago and all COM
munication between Los Angeles and
the outside world is carried on over
this wire.

new industry has just been put in OPP
GRAFTON twenty odd miles up the Cape
Fear river that is owned and man
aged by a Wilmington man, Mr.. u. r.
Keith The industry is for the man
ufacture of land plaster.
The factory occupies a site at what
is known as Meals Eddy, but which
before the Revolutionary War was
called Port Vernon.
The new plant embraces an outlay
of many hundreds of dollars. 1t started
up last Wednesday and since then has
been turning out land plaster 60 its
fullest capacity, which is between rs
and 80 tons per day. This means that
phosphate lime rock is being crushed
to that extent every day unless the
weather is too inclement to permit
work. The rock has been thoroughly
tested and shows between eighty and
ninety per cent. carbonate of lime. 1t
has also been practically tried by Mr..
Keith on his vast farm and by sew
eral other extensive farmers and it has
always proven of the best quality OF
fertilizer for corn, peanuts, potatoes,
etc,
Mr.. Keith says the deposit of rock
is enough to last for years and that
the machinery he has installed will
enable him to furnish it TO the trade
promptly. lie has now several big
orders to fill and is ready to fill more
on short notice.

The Senate win Strive to Ratify the
San Domingo Treaty This
Week
(By the Asaociated Pess. )

Washington, March 13.4-The Senate
will do its utmost to complete the
San Domingo treaty, ratify it, and
adjourn this week. This was mani
tested when the treaty was taken up
in executive session today. For more
than an hour the Senators discussed
ways and means and finally agreed
to meet at IL a. m. daily in order to
give time for a full discussion of the
measure and still adjourn by Saturday
1t is conceded that if the vote is de-
layed beyond that time quorum of
the Senate could not be maintained
with the present number of absentees
and the uncertainty as to the number
, that will return to vote the fate of the
! treaty cannot be foretold.
Only one amendment was offered to-
day. That was presented by Senator
Bacon and provided that such eX-
penses of the army and navy as may
be incurred by carrying out the pro-
visions of the treaty shall be paid
from the revenues of Santo Domingo.
This amendment was pending at the
time the Senate adjourned and will be
taken up tomorrw
Senator Cuilom discussed at length
the provisions of the convention and
urged it's ratification. The interrup-
lions were almost entirely devoted to
seeking information to make points of
the convention clear. Among those who
interrupted Senator Cullom were Sen
ators Morgan, Bacon. Burrows. Daniel,
Newlands. Teller and German
The Democrats discussed the depth
the United States is likely to get in if
it enters on the policy of debt collect
ing and also declared that in article
T. which provides that the United
States may be called on to preserve
order, there is grave danger to this
country. Senator Burrows read
statement which declared that the
original investment of the San Do
mingo Improvement Company was only.
$1,000 and that it has grown to $4.-
500, 10000, drawing four per cent.

From a high official the Associated

Briefly these were the reports cur

st. Petersburg. March 13.--1:27 p.
m.--The announcement made i'm the
name of the government in the face
of the overwhelming disaster suffered
| by General Kuropatkin. that a fresh
army would be. raised and the war
proceed and the naughty attitude as
suned by Japan, may after all be
simply a sparring for position, which
is the prelude of peace So far as
the public is concerned peace is the
only thing talked of, the sentiment
being that If they autoeracy can
bring the warning powers into negotia-
lions peace will follow.
Many diplomatists believe that
terms acceptable TO both are only
possible on the basis not of ordinary
peace, but more in the nature of an
alliance which would distinctly define
and guarantee the position of the re-
spective powers in the Far East in
the future. IT is certain, however,
that Russia as yet has made no move.
The elements which are trying to
force the Emperor's hand declare
the government is now in a corner,
from which there is no escape with
out the support of the people. There
is reason to believe that some of the
Emperors advisors, share this opin-
|
bold stroke of summoning a veritable
constituent assembly, appealing to the
patriotism Of the people and allowing
them to decide the question of peace
or war. 1t is realized that this would
inevitably mean a change in the form
of government to a constitutional
monarchy. The newspapers except
the Novoe Vremya and a few others,
whose voice is always for war, speak
out straight for peace at almost any
price, declaring that all hopes Of vic
tory are now buried at Mukden.
While France has made no move
since the battle of Mukden nor offered
her advice officially, the Russian gov
eminent has been given to understand
clearly that her ally favors peace and
this may exercise an influence on the
Emperor's ultimate decision. Ger
many has refrained from giving adj
vice either way. Perhaps the attitude
of Japan may be judged by the fact
that one of the great powers, init
mated to be the United States. has
strongly urged within a month that
the time was opportune to offer terms
to Russia, but according to Informal
ton received here the Japanese gov
eminent paid no heed to the advice
rendered. Japan could probably i'm.
pose any conditions satisfactory to the
powers regarding Manchuria, the Lao
Tung peninsula, Korea and even the
Island of Sakhalin, and an arrange
ments about the maintenance of RUS
STA seapower in the Far East which
might involve making Vladivostocx an
open port might be conceded, but Rus.
