THREE BUILDINGS LOST.
Rains Add to the Damage Done at
 Pine Bluff.

Pine Bluff Ark, December 5.--Early tonight the Arkansas river, which for the rast several days has steadily encroached upon this city, was at standstill and the danger of further great loss seemed over, At midnight, however, rain began to fall, which will add another menace through the softening of the banks, By tomorrow the river will begin to recede.
 Three buildings, a store and warehouse building and two smaller structures, were swept into tue stream late today.
 The actual losses during the week are estimtaed a, s36S 100 and the estimated de- preciation of property values Is at least as much.
 Hundreds of men are still at work build ing fascines along the river front, and fully % fascines have been dumped into the river in the past 10 hours in the rear of the Jefferson hotel and the Jefferson county courthouse. The hotel Is now be- lieved to be safe for the time being, but immediate repair of the river banks and the re-establishmeI of government dykes are demanded north of the business sec ton in order to protect business blocks from further damage. The new courthouse annex, erected just two years ago at a cost of S20o 900, will have to be tern down. The northeast corner of the big building overhangs the rivers edge, and govern ment engineers declare that the building should be condemned, It may slide Into the river at any moment.

GENERAL SIMON IS GIVEN
 OVATION BY HAYTIENS

Port Au Prince, Hayti, December D. Special ble.)-General Antoine simon. at the head of his revolutionary army of 5000 men, was received at the out skirts of Port au Prince by a delegation of the committee of public safety and he proceeded to make his entry into the city at o'clock this morning. He was quietly welcomed by the delegation and presented with a crown of palms.
 He received a great ovation as he pro- ceeded to the cathedral to assist in the celebration of a Te Deum. When he and his escort emerged from the edifice after the services the demonstration reached a great height. He was given the salute of the president of the coun- try, bells were tolled and people greet ed him with cries of Long live the pres- identl'
 It was expected that he would estab- fish himself at the national palace after leaving the chapel However, he set mp his headquarters in a residence on the Champ de Mars He and his es- cort were received with wild delight wherever they went

THREE DOLLARS LEFT OUT
 OF NEARLY A MILLION

Chicago, December 5.-(Special.)- After signing a draft for s2s,ooO at the Great Northern hotel today and send ing 1t to New York to account for tie loss brought upon him by the defalca- tion of friend, c.

 The news of the friends misepplich- tion of funds end subsequent suicide came as the f1flsie of most remarkable series of mtis4tunt Williams ac- cepts his reverse philosophically.
 With his wife and two children burned to death in their home his own health shattered by the shock, his law practice reduced to almost nothing as the result of the disasters and his for tune squandered heedlessly in travelling to find diversion from his grief, Will Hams had nothing left him but his

General Simon's evident popularity makes 1t very evident that he will lose no time in proclaiming himself Presi- dent of Hayti.
 This may precipitate civil war for it is feared that General Leconte, at Cape 1aytian; General Firmin at Gonaives, and General Fouchard at Jeramie, will not abandon their aspirations to lead the republic and submit to this. The crisis will probably be avoided by the insti- tuition of an open election. It is believed that Simon may favor such a step if he realizes the necessity of cautious policy being employed
 The insurgent force is now occupying the various barracks. The infantry is well supplied with rifles and ammuni- tion but the cavalry is short of machetes.
 The 5000 men now in its ranks have been well organized by General Simon and it is very doubtful if a force suf- ficient to oppose it could be mustered
 The deposed President, Nord Alexis, ac- companied by the party of loyal sup porters, who escaped from the palace to the French cruiser, Duguay Trouin, was today trapsferred to the German steam CT, Sarnia, which will take him to Kings ton. Jamaica

share of his law firms profits the last year he WAS in New York.
 As a climax to his misfortunes his friend committed suicide in New York a few days ago. revealing the fact that all of the funds intrusted to him had been misapplied Williams and his law partner. Frank w. Cristello, made up the loss, with the result that Williams gave Cristello his draft for s29,000 and CrIstello left for New York to settle the sffi1i4s of the firm.
 The law firm of Williams & Cristello Is one of the best known in New York city. MT. Williams has a record of being an expert In criminal law If 1t were not for his pride, MT. Williams could ob tain unlimited funds from New York and Chicago friends, but he shrinks from accepting favors.
 "If any one had told me two years ago what the coming years held for me I would have laughed atssuch story he said. Tt sounds like book or play. would never have believed that any one man could have so much trou- ble in a lifetime let alone only two years"

Berlin, December 5.-(Special cable.)-A extraordinary scene occurred in the reich stag today. It furnished a striking evil dence of the extremely high tension to which German politicians have been strung by recent events.
