A bulletin given out at the general
headquarters of the railroad yesterday
stated that up until 3 o'clock yesterday
Afternoon the rise for the past twenty
four hours was one-half inch, with little
or no wind to drive the water over the
embankments and tracks.
For the thirty days ending July q
the daily average rise was one and
four-tenths inches. Since then the
average flow into the basin has been
less than one inch.
On the railroads gauge yesterday
morning a depth of 161 inches was
registered.
The Colorado rives continues to fall

at work in the construction of its jetty

success, but the results in a way are
still prohlematical.

Deliver Unexpected UItimatum,
and J. J. Hill Is Appealed
to by Perham
BY Associated Press,

, by ASSOCIATED FresS.
ST. PAIL, MINI, Aug. ALI of the
telegraph operators of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific systems were
ordered out tonight at IL o'clock by
President Perham of the order of Rail
way telegraphers.
According to the officials of the Order
of Railway telegraphers between 1900
and 1000 men will be affected by the
order. President Perham declares that
| by IL o'clock tomorrow ninety-five per
tcent of the operators will be out. The
railway officials maintain that they will
be able to fill the places of most of the
men and that they will suffer nothing
more than temporary Inconvenience
by the move.
Negotiations which have been pend
ing between the telegraphers and the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads for some time came to a sud-
den end today when General Manager
Horn of the Northern Pacific notified
the telegraphers of that system that the
company's proposition as to the rate
| of wages 1t would pay was final, and
they could accept it or leave the SER
vice.
The Great Northern officials took
practically the same stand toward their
employees last night. thus throwing con-
fusion into the ranks of the teleg-
raphers, who hardly expected such a
move.
The only chance of an adjustment of
the trouble rests with President ]. j.
Hill. who is in New York and to whom
President Perham of the railway tele-
graphers appealed in a telegram last
night.
Just how many men have refused to
consider the terms offered by the roads
is uncertain. Until $3.50 thfs afternoon
no definite reports had been received at
the headquarters of either road
The order affects about $50 operators
and agents on the Great Northern and
about 1900 on the Northern Pacific.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.--Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood is once more a bone of
contention in the army. Having forced
his confirmation as major general, Pres
ident Roosevelt is now said to be trying
to make Wood member of the general
staff against the wishes of that body
and Lieut.. Gen. Chaffee. AS a result
the army is gnashing it's teeth with
rage. In the meantime Gen. Wood IL

of the skull, due 70 slight blow suf-

Army officers say Wood always was
lucky. That influences have been
brought to bear on the president to In
duce him to boom Wood once more is
evidenced by the fact that within day
after the promulgation of orders by the
general stan. which did not mention
Gen. Wood, the president suspended
orders and the sole reason given was
that the health of Gen. Wood might
prevent his return to the Philippines.

would be maintained as an independent

NEW YORK, Aug. lon the eve Of
the arrival of Witte, Russia's chief
plenipotentiary in the approaching
peace negotiations, who is expected to
reach New York tomorrow, pessi-
mistic note was detected in the gossip
from Oyster Bay which reached the

though the president is still hopeful that
lasting peace will follow the meeting

it is reported that even Roosevelt is in
considerable doubt as to the outcome.
He knows the Japanese terms and feels
that they are not likely to be salts

The popular estimate at Toxic of the
indemnity has mounted from 3,O00.000,-
900 to 5000, 100000 yen. In American
money 5,OOO,OOO,OOO yen would be $2,454,-

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. ia seven column
article written by Tolstoy appeared in
the Times this morning entitled, "A
Great Inequity." 1t deals with the land
question and declares that Russia is
living through an important epoch that
is destined to have enormous results
The article is largely devoted to the
theories of Henry George, and declares
that the land question has now reached
the state of ripeness, that fifty years
ago was reached by the question Of
serfdom; that Henry George was right,
that the removal of the sin of landed
property is near, and that the George
movement was its last birth throe.
The movement for the liberation Of
mankind, says Count Tolstoy, Is to be
effected by the Russian Slavonan
people, who, by their spiritual and
economic character, are predestined for
the great universal task.
In conclusion, while maintaining that
Henry George perfected the only prac-
ticable peaceful solution of the prob
tenn, Tolstoy predicts that 1t will be
solved by the Russian people, not by
imitation of European and American
proletarianism, but by abolishing landed
property and thus showing the other
nations the way to a rational, free and
happy life.
