SENATOR BAILEY is REELECTED.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 22.-Joseph w.
Bailey was today reelected United
States senator by a vote in the two
branches of the legislature, of los to
AZ. In the senate the vote was 10 in
favor of Senator Bailey and 10 against;
in the house it was 80 to 35.
The vote in opposition to Senator
Bailey was scattering. 1t was cast for
Cecil Lyon, the Republican nominee.
Governor T. M. Campbell, former Re-
preventative A. w. Terrell, and others.
In the house seven members did not
vote and two were absert. The vote
necessary to an election is lO7. Today's
result was one above the required num-
ber. The two houses will meet in Joint
session tomorrow to canvass the vote.
The opponents of Senator Bailey
made an effort in the house to pass a
resolution providing that should the
legislature vote unanimously for the
election of Senator Bailey, the latter
should submit to a special primary with
in thirty days and that should the result
be adverse, he would resign. The prop
osition was voted down, SO to 81. The
special investigation committee of the
legislature is tonight considering the
charges against Senator Bailey.

THOUSANDS, HOMELESS, SUFFER

Cincinnati, O., Jan. %. After being
stationary at 65.2 for a time, during the
morning the Ohio river at this point be-
gan to recede slowly and at dark had
gone down to 65 feet, with all indica-
tions for continuance of the fall. By
the end of the week it is thought the
danger line will be passed on the way
down. Some estimate of property losses
will then be possible. At present all
that can be stated positively is that the
aggregate damage will run far into
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Cold
weather which largely assisted in end
ing the high waters, will cause much
suffering among thousands of homeless
people.

from which route will we get the larg-
est returns in the way of dividends on
our investment?
The first inquiry almost answers it
self, as those who seem to know say
that it will cost not much more than
half as much to build the road from the
Garden to Tazewel as it will to Blue
field. The distance is shorter and the
physical conditions are such that it will
cost much less per mile to build the road
to Tazewell than it will to build it to
Bluefield.
In answering the second question, that
is as to the amount of the possible earn
irgs of the road, the profits will be meas
ured by the volume of the traffic. From
which point will the freight and pas
senger traffic be the largest? Undoubt-
edly from Tazewell. Why? Because
Tazewell is the capital town of the coun-
ty; and the people of Burkes Garden
have, and must necessarily continue to
have, more intimate social and business
relations with the people of this town
than they can ever have, under any con-
ditions, with the people of Bluefeld.
Then pvprv parcOy, xsyl,O ,,-o,,lJ oro - A.,
Garden from Tazewell, and from else
where, would become passenger on the
proposed railway; and all the freight to
and from the Garden would be hauled
by the road. If, however, the road
should be built to Bluefeld, none of the
travel from Tazewell to the Garden or
from the Garden to Tazewell would use
the railway. Upon the contrary, the
travel between Tazewell and the Garden
would continue, as it now is, by horse
back and all kinds of vehicles. We be-
lieve it will be safe to say that the pas
senger traffic would be twice as great
over road from Tazewell to the Gar
den as it would over one from Bluefeld.
And the freight traffic would be heavier
from this point than it would be from
Bluefield. What more natural than for
Burkes Garden farmer who would be
called to Tazewell on business, court day
or any other day, than to take one of
his idle teams and haul a load of his
products here for shipment. Besides, a
goodly portion of the products of the
Garden are bought and consumed by
the people of this town.
These two things, the greatly less
cost of construction and the larger vol
ume of traffic, are unanswerable argu-
ments for making Tazewell the terminal
when the road is built.
We take it for granted that the peo-
pie of Burkes Garden will want the road
to go where it will furnish them the
amplest transportation accommoda-
tions; and that the men of the Garden
who are willing to invest their money
in such an enterprise will want to make
the cost of construction as small as pos
sible and secure the largest possible re-
turns upon their investment.
These are matters which the people
of Burkes Garden and of Tazewell ought
to consider before they act; and they
should also investigate enough to find
out whether the road would be paying
investment

local troops, militia and constabulary
were deemed sufficient to preserve or
der and protect all buildings that need
ed protection. Other dispatches from
Kingston declare that American marines
had been landed and were protecting
the city.
NOT A SHOT FIRED.
On the whole, the conduct of the pop
ulace has been admirable. There have
been only few attempts at looting and
these have been confined to remote
shops and provision stores. The guards
have not had occasion to fire a single
shot and perfect order reigns through
out the devastated city.
An admirable example has been set
the lower classes by the Governor and
Lady Swettenham and the higher off,
cials and their wives who are working
unwearily to relieve the distressed and
nurse the wounded.
American naval doctors also are doing
magnificent work in assisting the local
doctors.
The original estimates of killed were
too moderate. Over five hundred vic
tins have been buried up to today and
scores of half-burned bodies have been
taken from the ruins of collapsed build
ings.
