PLAGUE CONDITIONS
GET MORE SERIOUS
Eighteen Deaths Have Resulted, and
Money Subscribed by Merchants
for Destitute Is Entirely
Exhausted
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CARACAS, June 3, via Willemstadt,
June although the decree issued by
President Castro opening the port of
La Guaira to commerce, May 2S, has
not yet been rescinded, La Guaira is
still shut off from communication with
the outer world because of the con-
tinuance of the plague. There have
been new cases almost daily, and the
situation is desperate. The funds sub
scribed by the merchants are exhaust
ed and there is no money for the des-
titute or to fight the plague.
NEW YORK, June 7.-Eighteen
deaths have resulted from the plague
in La Guaira, Venezuela, according to
Thomas P. Moffatt, American consul
at La Guaira, who reached here today
on the steamer Seguranca from Santi-
ago, after an eventful experience in
leaving the plague stricken city.
La Guaira was kept in absolute quar-
antine and the United States govern
ment had to send the gunboat Paducah
to take Mr.. Moffatt away. On his ar
rival here today Mr.. Moffatt said;
II am glad to get home and will stop
here a day or two before proceeding
to Washington. Everything at La
Guaira is at a standstill on account of
the plague, and the city is in strict
quarantine. Before left some eighteen
persons had succumbed to the scourge."

CREST OF FLOOD PASSES
IN WESTERN MONTANA

SPOKANE, WASH, June IA Mis-
soula, Mont, special to the Spokesman
Review says:
It is thought the crest of the great
flood which has had western Montana
in it's grasp for the past week has
passed. The weather Is fair and the
high waters are receding at rapid
rate.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth Of damage has been done to
bridges, houses, railroads and to prop
erty of all descriptions.
The Northern Pacific railroad, east
of this city, is completely blockaded
and 1t will be days, and possibly weeks,
before it is opened to traffic. Tele-
graph and telephone wires are down,
and 1t Is impossible to communicate
with Helena and other points east. Re-
pairs to the lines are being made as
fast as possible.
The situation west of this city is not
so serious. The Postal Telegraph COM
pany has a wire to Seattle, and there
is a telephone line to Spokane. All
Western Union and railroad wires are
down, however, and the Associated
Press wire is out of commission.
Early this morning one of the great
steel spans of the Higgins avenue
bridge, the main city bridge across the
Missoula river, toppled over with a
deafening crash and was carried 100
yards down stream. With the span
went two of the five-foot cement col
umns which had supported it, and the
telephone lines which were the only
means of communication between the
north and south sides of the city went
also.
Early this morning the flood moved
westward, and at Lothrop, thirty miles
from here, many people were driven
from their homes to the hills.

Der of representative public men have
united in a memorial to be presented
to the New York member of the COM
mittee on resolutions of the Republican
national convention, and to the chair
man of the resolutions committee, ask
ing for a strong plank affirming con-
fidence in the judiciary of the country,
as bulwarll for the maintenance OF

The memorial is signed by four cabi-
net officers, Cornelius N. Bliss, Thomas
l.. James, Benjamin F. Tracy. John w.

peals; DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler of
Columbia university, Judge William j..
Wallace, formerly federal circuit judge;

H. Choate and others.
The memorial follows:
"The undersigned Republicans, hav-
ing in mind the attack upon the courts
made by the platform and candidate
of the Democratic party in 1896, and
having reason to believe that a similar
attack is contemplated in the presi-
dental campaign of 190S do earnestly
request the committee on resolutions to
include in it's report to the Republic
can national convention the Following
declaration:
1--WE reaffirm our confidence in the

BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 7-Jealousy

caused the arrest of his wife and Lloyd
Kincaid on a serious charge.
Mrs. Scott went to work as waitress
i'm a restaurant at S61 McAllister street

friend refused to allow him to take the
weapon.
This morning Scott secured another
revolver and waited for his wife when
she left the restaurant. Upon her re-
fusal to go back to him the fatal shots
were fired.

Under Water-Heavy Rains
Fall and More Are
Threatened
BY Associated Press.

by Associated PreSS.
TOPEKA, Kas., June with the
Kansas river barely below the flood
stage and rising steadily at the rate of
about an inch an hour and warned by
the government officials that a rise of
from four to six feet will occur by
Monday night, there is a great exodus
of people from North Topeka this after
noon. Every transfer wagon, delivery
wagon and other vehicles were pressed
into service.
The rise of four to six feet is based
on present conditions, with no addi-
tional rains. Threatening weather Is
reported from the head waters of the
Kaw and further rains tonight are
probable.
The government warning issued this
afternoon says: AT this hour the re-
ports from the rivers above indicate q
further rise of from four to six feet at
Topeka by Monday night. This Will
make a stage of about twenty-six feet
by the government gauge"
The river here tonight registered
fraction over twenty-five feet. At juno
ton City both the electric and the
Union Pacific tracks were under water
between the city and Fort Riley An
inch and a half of rain fell last night
and today and the weather continues
threatening. Heavy rains fell last
night and today at Ottawa, Ellis, and
a fall of five inches is reported at Lin
coin Center. A two-inch rain fell at

NEW WASHOUT TIES UP
NORTHERN PACIFIC TRAINS

BUTTE, Mont, June 1.-THE North
ern Pacific east from Butte is again
tied up today by a new washout of 6O0
feet of track near jefferson Island,
small station in the jefferson river val
ley, sixty miles from Butte.
Two steel trestles on the Great North
ern are reported as having gone out
near Basin, thirty-five miles north of
Butte, adding to the decentralization OF
that road. Great Northern officials
this evening will not venture an opinion
as to when normal conditions will be
restored, one official stating that in
his belief a months time would be
necessary to put the Montana line OF
the Northern Pacific in proper con-
dition.
The Great Northern telegraphic SER
vice is completely demoralized and the
officials fear they have yet to learn of
the real magnitude of the destruction
wrought by the flood.
The barometer is higher this evening
than for several weeks. This would In
dicate warmer weather tomorrow, and
with that the rapid melting of the
SHOWS in the mountains. AS there Is
now living from three to four feet OF
snow in the mountains it is, feared the
rush of water will add to the damage
already done.
The sun shone brightly today and
with the exception of suggestion OF
rain late this afternoon there was no
sign of a further downpour.
