Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-The
revolutionary war frigate Constitution,
"Old Ironsides," is to be saved from
rotting to pieces at her dock at Bos5
ton navy yard and will also escape
the worse fate, recommended by Sec
retary of the Navy Boaparte, of being
used as a target for the guns of the
North Atlantic fleet.
The gallant old craft is to be patched
up and rehabilitated so she may in
dulge in an occasional cruise in mild
weather. This is the decision of the
house committee on naval affairs. 1t
is estimated it will cost just $4,000 to
restore the Constitution to decent con-
dition.
The Constitution is figuring prom
inently in a vaudeville act being played
at one of the local theaters this week.
After medly of patriotic airs is sung
by man dressed as Uncle Sam and
chorus of girls, the man appeals to con-
gress in song to save the Constitution
from an ignoble death by decay.
AS a fitting climax at the end of the
song the drop curtain shows the old
frigate in the thick of an engagement
with the British fleet

CHARLOTTE, N. c., March 16-
Judge Alton B. Parker OF New York
tonight, in an address before the Man
ufacturers' club of this city, urged
southern Democrats to take the leader
ship of the party.
Judge Parker said in part:
I'm 1896 you tried Nebraska, and
since that day no old Democratic
northerh state has accredited one of
our parry to the United States senate,
and in none has there been a friendly
governor. In 1904, hoping to cure or
ralliate it, you advised turning again to
New York for your candidate, only to
meet the worst defeat in our partys
history, and today the party organza-
tions are lifeless, their one-time leaders
are dead or have abdcated, or worse
have become Republicans, while in
more than one state the threat hangs
over them that they may become vic
TINS of the spoler or the corrup-
ZIONIST
when such conditions confront you
why should you persist any longer.
You have borne the heat and burden OF
the day. Your statesmen have demon
strated their ability not only to take
care of the interests of their states and
their section, but they have been the
only dam against aggression at home
and the threat of discredit abroad.
Among them are men with the knowl-
edge, experience, honesty and courage
to represent their fellow partisans
without the surrender of principle and
their countrymen with safety and
honor"

Nandis Tribes In Northern Nigeria
Prove Worthy Foes-Skirmishe
Take on the Proportions of Guerilla
Warfare
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, March ia letter re-
ceived by Claude Champion de Cres-
pigny from his son, Capt. de Cres-
pigny, indicates that the British ex-
pedition against the Nandis tribes,
northern Nigeria, is encountering un-
expected resistance. The captain says
a thousand natives were killed during
the recent driving" operations.
The Nandis occupy the territory in
the vicinity of Victoria Nyanza, the
terminus of the Mombesi railroad, and
have been menacing the railroad and
raidi1g farmers.
The British farmers attacked and
defeated the Nandis and subsequently
decided to apportion them to a reser-
vation some distance from the rail-
road. The Nandis objected, and the
process of driving them toward the
reserves led to sanguinary guerilla
fighting. A dispatch from the British
high commissioner confirms the de-
feat of the Sokoto rebels.

SANTA BARBARA, March 1.-THE
worst flood that has visited this city
for years occurred this morning when
cloudburst on the mountains above
the city turned Mission creek into a
rushing river that swept over several
blocks of residences and business
houses in the lower part of the city,
causing great damage.
Four blocks below the new railroad
tracks, and between Anacapa and
Chapala streets, were flooded with sew
eral feet of water that banked up
at a small bridge back of the big hotel
here and running over Chapala street
converted that part OF the city into
"a rushing river that flowed through
stores and residences and threatened
der several buildings.
Among the houses in the wake of
the flood were Frank Deardorf's Jap
anese and Indian curio store, Charles
Frederick Eatons arts and crafts,
Paul Elders book store, Mrs. Pa
tience Howard's fruit store, A. Mayors
pany's planning mill and warehouse,
Clarks curio store, IT. II. Merry's resi-
dence, L. l.. Smiths residence and sew
eral small stores on lower State
street.
Over the Bridge
The greatest flood struck the lower
part of the city about o'clock, when
the banks of Mission creek, which
flows down through the city from
rent of water that carried large trees
and timbers before it with tremen-
dous force and with a noise that could
be heard for blocks
When the flood struck the low wood
Ell bridge that spans Chapala street
the driftwood began to block the pas
sage and the waters soon rose up over
the bridge ana flowed across the street
and down over the ocean boulevard.
Large timbers were carried over the
bridge and all communication between
the big hotel here and the new depot,
which are only a block apart, was cut
off.
The flood struck another obstruction
at the narrow bridge that was recently
built over the creek on Mason street
and, as this passageway was narrow
and partly obstructed by small trees
and willows, the flow was turned di-
rectly into the back of the fine curio
stores that face lower State street.
The waters banked up against these
and washed through the buildings and
on over State street. Part of the flood
was diverted by the curbing on the far
side of the street and found a new
outlet into the ocean west of the wharf,
where the residence Of L. L. Smith
stands

also Vice President Bellingham. The
