of houses washed away by cloud
burst which swept down Delagua canon

with. After 10 O'Clock all the wires
leading to the afflicted towns were out.
Early in the night fierce storm arose.
Two Colorado and Southern Railroad

SENATOR JOSEPH r. BURTON, Of
Kansas. in his transactions in Chicksaw
warrants seems to have been getting
money from the Indians under false pre-
lenses, according to explanations made
Yesterday at the Interior Department.
The Senator denies the charges as fatty
az did Senator Mitchell when he was
arraigned for Irregularities which we're
afterwards proven. 1t remains to be seen
whether Mr.. Burton can prove his limo
cence. At any rate it is a sad reflection
upon men holding the position of United
States Senator when their honesty is
impugned, and this is the second in
stance within the past few months. All
men who pose as representatives of the
people should be as Caesars wife,
whether their position be lowly or ex-
allied. but when men secure the conf
dence of States aud become members Of
the highest legislative body of the coun-
try they should by all means keep their
hands clean. Some Senators live and
die poor men, but others known to be
in straitencd circumstances before cleo
ton have accumulated colossal fortunes
while holding such positions. These
facts naturally cause many to PROFOUND
questions that are not always answered
satisfactorily.

FRIDAY EVENING. AUG. %. 1905.

THE GAR OF Russia has fatty re-
iected President Roosevelt's plan to
bring about peace with Japan, and the
outcome of the Portsmouth conference Is
as problematical now as ever, as the rep
resentatives of Russia and japan are APP
parently as far apart as at first. Negotla-
tons are now at an acute stage, and
while the great mass of the civilized
world is earnestly hoping that the bel
ligerents will replace their swords in
their scabbards. there are no indications
of such purpose at present, and but few
would be surprised if the conflict should
continue. 1t is believed by many that
Emperor William desires to see the var
continue in order that Russia may be-
come exhausted in her endeavors to de-
fend herself against the japanese. On the
other hand there is reason to suppose
that most nations desire 10 see the dogs
of war called of, and that President
Roosevelt is their spokesman in attempts
to bring the conflict to speedy close.
But few days will elapse before the
world will know whether or not this SAN
culinary war is to continue. Should peace
negotiations fail there is no telling what
the future will bring forth. Other ma
tious are likely to become embroiled, and
wars and rumors of wars may mark the
first decade of the twentieth century.

A CRITICISM of the American Protes-
tant churches was voted III New York
Wednesday by Rev. G. Campbell Morgan,
ID. d., who has been working in the late
Dwight l.. Moody's place at East North
field, Mass. Among other things he said
"The American church does not seem to
be much more than social organization
now. It's members spend more time
developing along social lines than they
do along spiritual lines" The truth Of
the English digine's observation is be-
coming more apparent every day. The
spirit Of competition is often manifested,
while in many cases the exertions to
procure money for endless enterprises are
more pronounced than those to save
souls. The line between the church aud
the world is often as hard to fined as
that marking the equator.

Oil Slip Struck by Lightning.

Struck by lightning during terrific
storm which swept over Staten Island
and the lower part of the upper New
York bay at midnight Wednesday, the
ship Mulberry Fill, laden with case oil
and naptha, lying in the stream, mid
way between Tompkinsville and Staple
ton, was burning early yesterday morn
ing, lighting up the bay from the Bat
terry to Sandy Hook. The crew of
twenty-four men left the ship after the
fire started and landed at Stapleton.
The lightning hit the mainmast and
passed down the steel pole into the hold,
where there was an explosion. Smoke
began to show at once, and rockets and
lights were burned. Finding their
alarms we're UNDECIDED, the men lowered
the boats and made for the shore. Five
minutes after the alarm was given, one
OF the matches, about amidships, blew
up. The flames poured through the
hatch and spraDg into the shrouds and
began to eat away the sails and cordsge.
After these burned, the FIRE settled down
into the hold, where explosion followed
explosion.

Storm i'm Baltimore.

Lightning played queer pranks during
furious electrical and rainstOrm, which
swept over Baltimore yesterday after
noon. A bolt struck the tower of the
Eastern Female High School and set it
on fire. The flagstaff was hurled across
the street and fell between two mer.
Another bolt struck the. ferry-house at the
foot of Broadway and scattered shower
of splinters over the ferryboat Taggart.
The gas tips and the stovepipe in the
office we're knocked off, and ink wells
thrown from the desks. James Wells
and II. c. Wheeler we're injured by
shock. A very peculiar feature of the
rain was the fact that the force of the
wind stretched out the drops of rain aud
caused peculiar reflection OF the light
which caused the drops to resemble
snow. In the height of the storm there
was a small panic on the big COLCHESTER
Beach excursion steamer Louise. The
wind hurled the steamer against n dock
on the south side of the harbor, demOl-
ishing part of the pier and breaking
bolts in the rndder board of the steamer.
The excursiOnists were thrown from their
feet. Women began to scream, aud a
serious panic was only ayerted BY the
GOODNESS of the officers.
