Antipodean Residents Show Their
Good Will in Many Ways and
Give Warships Big Sendof.

Sydney, n. s. w, Aug. 27.-The
fleet of American ships sailed from
this port this morning, bound for Mel.
bourne. The sky was cloudless. the
sun was warm and only a moderate
sea was running.
At s a. m. the flagship Connecticut
weighed anchor and led the war ships
in single line out past the sloping
shores of the harbor. which were
crowded with thousands OF persons
who had gathered to bid the fleet fare
we'll The Connecticut cleared the
heads at $40 o'clock and the last
battleship some 30 minutes later. Then
followed the Glacier. the Panther and
the Ajax. A mile outside they turned

this port a memorable one. For siH
days the officers and men were fetet
and entertained in every conceivable
manner. and not one untoward Incl

event in Sydney's history.
Speaking of the visit, the Sydney
Herald says: "The American fleet!

meaning of sea power Now tha
the bond has been formed and wide
outlook obtained, with the same bloot
in our veins, the result is bound t.

SNUB FOR HUGHES
New York Governors Presence
at Fair Causes Horse
men to BaIk.
REFUSE TO ENTER RACES
Executive Makes Speech as Scheduled
and Then Leaves, Contests Be-
ing Started Late.

Ballston, n. Y, Aug. Ex-Governor
Hughes was a visitor at the fair
grounds here yesterday and harness
horsemen signaliZed the event by re-
fusing to start their entries while he
was on the ground. 1t was one of the
most remarkable demonstrations of it's
kind known and was altogether unex-
pected.
Governor Hughes had been carded to
speak as an attraction at the Saratoga
county fair 1t is recognized that the
people of the county in general are in
clined to support Sheriff Bradley in
his recent action at the Saratoga race
track, but it was not believed that the
governor had incurred any unpopular
ity throughout the county.
Sentiment Is Manifest.
That decided feeling against him ex-
listed, however, was manifest when the
horsemen marched to the secretary
and told him they would not race. Of
ficials of the fair threatened the horse
men with dire penalties, then com
menced to coax them. 1t was all in
vain. The turfmen would not recede
from their attitude and said that they
would not send horse to the post Sc
long as the governor was on the
grounds.
Governor Hughes made the speech
, for which he was carded and then de
parted. Immediately the first field OF
horses was sent out from the little
paddock and the races were soon on
The action was taken to mean join
protest against the governors action
in stopping betting on horse races.
| Was Awkward situation.
The situation was decidedly awkward
for the fair officials when the governor
was on the grounds. The crowd col
Ilected around the race course, anC
fact that the races were delayed
! There were several outbursts of impa
tient calling and then the situation
seemed to dawn upon the spectators
who accepted the state of affairs good
lnaturedly.
Governor Hughes seemed to apprec
late the conditions, but simply smile
slightly. He was scheduled to leav
the grounds at o'clock, but shortl
: before that hour he departed and star
|, ed for the depot.
/ Racing was then started. to satisf
the crowd, but owing to the latenes
of the hour darkness interfered wit
the program.

BOYCOTT IS ENDED
Contest Between Rock Island
and Frisco Roads and
Omaha Called Off.
SHIPPERS SEEM THE vICI0Rs
Started on Grounds That the Lines
Were Discriminating in Favor
of Kansas City.

Chicago, Aug. PA two years boy
colt against the Rock Island and Fris-
co systems by Omaha business men,
which has meant a loss of hundreds
of thousands of dollars TO these rail-
roads, has been lifted and one of the
most bitter and determined fights ever
Waged between carriers and shippers
is thus brought to an end.
The Commercial club of Omaha aud
the Omaha Grain Exchange have noti-
fed their members that the Rock Is
land has agreed TO accede 20 their
demands and. that business may again
be routed over the Rock Island lines.
Officials of the road, however. would
not admit yesterday that a surrender
has been made to the Omaha interests.
"We have been holding conferences,
but there is nothing that can be said
about the matter now" said w. E.
Biddle, third vice president. There
may be some developments in a few
days.
Arose Over Grain Rates.
The long drawn out controversy had
its beginning in charge that the
Rock Island was discriminating
against Omaha in favor of Kansas
City in grain rates to other cities. In
| retaliation for the alleged discrimina
tion a boycott was declared, and al
members of the associations back o
the fight were urged not to rout
their freight over the Rock Island
Later a boycott was extended to pas
senger business.
The difficulty has been costly t
both sides, Omaha losing grain. an
the Rock Island losing hundreds G
thousands of dollars in business.

RECEDING AT AUGUSTA
Large Part of City, Including
Fashionable District Was
Inundated.
Augusta, Aug. 27.-lt is now report
ed dozen deaths resulted from
drowning yesterday and today.
Worst Ever In State.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 27.-Reports
received from all sections of the state
show that the present food is the
most damaging ever recorded in South
Carolina. Many places in the state
are isolated. The total loss of life
thus far reported is five. The damage
to forming interests in the state will
run into the millions.
Large Area Inundated.
Augusta. Ga, via Harrisonville, Aug.
27.-It is not yet possible to give an
estimate of the financial loss result
ing from the flood in Augusta. The
flooded district is bounded by Fiji
teenth street on the west and extends
TO the extreme eastern boundary of
the city. An idea of the loss may
be gathered, however. when it is taken
into consideration every business
house, bank and store is submerged
from four to nine feet and water is
over nearly all the residence portion,
including the fashionable district. Green
street and all its churches is under
from three to six feet of water.
We'll Over Half Million.
With last nights fires. the cessation
of business until the city RECEIVERS it
self. and the damage to goods of all
kinds, it is thought the loss will go
well over the half million mark.

rent were received but further loss of
life is not confirmed.
Is Much Suffering.
There is a great deal of suffering
and negroes who occupied houses
nearest the lowlands. 1t was one of
the worst floods in the history of the
city. The sudden rise threw the city
into confusion. The weather bureau
issued flood warning saying the
river would reach a heighth of be-
tween 50 and 81 feet but this predic-
ton was exceeded by several feet.
Near ~ Feet,
The river rose suddenly to
between 40 and 10 feet, while the
danger line is at 33. When the river
began to rise people could be seen
going through the street with what
little bedding and other things they
could hurriedly carry on their backs.
Women were seen with children in
arms making their way to the higher
places and the men driving the live
stock.
Thousands MarOoned.
Thousands of people, however, went
to bed Tuesday night with the thought
they would wake in time to escape
they awoke to find themselves sur
rounded with water and cut off from
escape except by boat. Those pos
sessed of boats were quick to see the
opportunity and at once began to
charge eXhorbitant prices for moving
the unfortunates caught in periious
positions.
Many Tried 10 Swim Out.
Many people attempting to swim
from their home or places of business
to points of vantage lost their foot
ing and only saved themselves from
the rushing torrent by catching tree
limbs or anything else they could get
hold of 1t is reported a number were
caught in these positions and when
boatmen passed near enough to be
hailed they would refuse to go to
their assistance unless assured of be
ing paid unreasonable fees. At the
Western Union Telepragh office when
the water began to rise many oper
ators left for their homes. Five re
mained, however. but they were soon
compelled to seek safety in the
chamber of commerce building where
the wires were found still intact and
they were in communication with At
lanta about midnight.
Begins to Fall.
At daybreak today the operators IL
this building reported the waiter hat
fallen four and one-half inches since
At the Postal Telegraph offices tht
operating force was forced to deser

top of operating tables.
All Danger Now Past.
The water is falling rapidly and th'
streets will be clear by this evening
All danger throughout the flood dis
trict is past.
