the third time in three weeks was yes
terday visited by cloudburst. The
damage is estimated at $25, 900. The
bursting of subway at the head of

the subway burst wall of water six
feet deep swept down the street, carry
ing ahead Of it horses, wagons, buggies

At the lower end of the street the au-

without fire protection, owing to water
mains being washed away. The gas
was off and all big sewerage mains are
broken in many places. So far as is
known there is no loss of life.
Bisbee is located in a canyon, so
that cloudbursts in, the mountains above

JAPAN is BUSY.
immense War Debt and Labor Prob
lens Worry Statesmen.

New York, Aug. 26.-Japan, sorely
pressed in financial matters, with labor
troubles and increased cost of living
changing the entire economic system,
will not go to war with any nation for
10 years at least, according to General
Adolphus W. Greeley, U. S. A, re-
tired who, with Mrs. Greeley and their
two daughters, arrived on the President
Grant Of the HamburgAmerican line
today from Hamburg.
There have been within a year not
less than 40 strikes in Japan, so |
was told by prominent official" said
Mr.. Greeley, land do not believe the
world in general knows that they ended
successfully for the strikers. This
makes for entirely different economic
conditions in that country. Japan has
enough, with financial problems and
the question of higher wages. to be
met, to keep her wisest heads busy on
the situation at home for years to
come"

POSTPONE EXPOSITION.
Japanese Public Clamorng Against
Vast Expense.

Toxic, Aug. 27.-The unpopularity
of President Kaneko, of the Toxic eX-
position, has caused difficulties which
may result in the postponement of the
great exposition, which is now set for
1912.
The people are clamoring against the
methods of Kaneko in spending great
sums of government money and the re-
ports Of the postponement have been
so frequent that today the minister of
agriculture and commerce found it ne
cessary to issue formal denial. He
said the exposition would be held at
the time set, but even this assurance
is not sufficient to quiet the reports.
The strained industrial and financial
situation in Japan is the matter upper
most in the minds of most of the peo-
pie and there is widespread feeling
that the government chose poor time
to 90 to the enormous expense of hold
ing the first great worlds fair in the
Orient

TRIES GAME ON ROOSEVELT.
French Soldier Punished for Attempt
at BlackmaI.

Bordeaux, Aug. 28.-An extraordi-
nary story was told at the court mar
tial today, of member of the military
ambulance corps, Camille Marquet,
who was charged with attempting to
blackmail President Roosevelt. Ac-
cording to the evidence before the
court, Marquet wrote to the president
on January 9, demanding on behalf of
my society,"" without other specifica-
tion, "$2, 600 on account of services
rendered during the presidential cleo
tion," and promising further "im-
mense help"
Receiving no reply to this demand,
Marquet wrote again on March 8,
threatening scandal (Which will cast
dishonor upon the whole family unless
the money is Forthcoming at fixed
date" In conclusion the writer said !:
"The highest heads are no longer
safe on their shoulders; look at Portu-
gal"
The president handed the letters to
the French consul general, who com
municated with the French police.
Marquet was brought up for court
but the court, in consideration
of the good character of the youth,
sentenced him to six days imprison-
ment, giving him the benefit of the
first offenders law.

CARPET WORTH THOUSANDS
Floor Covering of U. S. Mint Filled
With Gold Dust.

San Francisco, Aug. 28.-The car
pet floor Of the adjusting room at the
San Francisco mint is about worn out
and after the old covering has been
taken up it will be handled with far
more care than the new one. 1t will
be many times more valuable, because
it is literally lined with gold. The
old carpet will be burned and from the
ashes the Treasury department officials
expect to realize about SIS, O00
In the adjusting room files are used
to trim surplus gold from the coins
after being stamped. 1t frequently
happens that the overwe ght filings
thus taken off fall to the floor and be-
come imbedded in the carpet. The
very best carpets are purchased for
this room, so that the closely y-woven
material will hold securely the scat
tered particles of gold.
1t is nothing unusual for the govern
ment to get $5, 600 worth of gold dust
out of the ashes resulting from the
burning of one of these carpets.

Warships Not Faulty.

Washington, Aug. 26.-The report
that the battleships of the North Da-
kota and Delaware class are regarded
as unsatisfactory by the naval board
recently in session at Newport, is not
credited here. Assistant Secretary
Newberry, who was in consultation
with the board. stated that no radical
changes would be made in the plans of
the Florida and Utah, the battleships
of the Dreadnaught type. The board
will not have its report completed
until next week, when it will be sent
to the president for approval. The
new idea that will be recommended as
a result of the Newport conferences
will be carried out in the Utah and
Florida, but will not be the cause of
any changes in the plans Of the North
Dakota and Delaware.

Ordered Out of Exile.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Orders were

account of "temperamental incapa-
city," to proceed to Fort Huachuca,
Ariz., to take the riding test prescribed

the test he is directed to return to Fort
Grant. Fort Grant is 26 miles from
the nearest railroad. Fort Huachuca
is about 100 miles from Fort Grant,
on the Mexican border. Colonel Stew

tive days or walking so miles in the

The recommendation grew out of seri-
Gus crimes against young girls and
women here lately The whole com
munity has been aroused. In its re-
port the grand jury recommends that
mothers give their daughters more pro-
lection from the world and asks the
state Legislature to put the "unwritten

Pure Food Law Not Bar.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The United
States pure food law, instead of ham
pering foreign trade, has benefited it,
and seems to have carried with it a
greater respect for foreign labels, is
the opinion expressed by the United
States consul, Dominic l. Murphy, at
Bordeaux, France In a report on
French e-ports to the United States,
Consul Murphy says the records Of the
Bordeaux consulate show that the de-
cIared values of exports Of French
foods and food products to the United
States during the first year Of the
operation of the pure food law actually
increased.

FIGHT TO REGAIN TRADE.
San Francisco Merchants Will Or

San Francisco, Aug. 27.-An aggres-

trade lost to the merchants of San
Francisco through the alleged indiffer-
ence, neglect and lack of concerted
action, was decided upon today at a
meeting of the trade and commerce
committee of the Merchants Ex-
change.
Steps were taken Immediately to
organize a traffic bureau, with an eX-
perienced traffic manager in charge,
which will be a central organization
for the mercantile bodies of this city,
whose object will be to see that mer
chants, manufacturers, wholesalers and
jobbers of San Francisco receive rail
road and water rates that will enable
them to regain the territory taken
away by other cities, particularly Los
Angeles.

WATERS RECEDING.
Augusta Damage May Approximate
Million Dollars.

Augusta, Ga, Aug. 28.-Flood wa
ters at Augusta began receding this
afternoon. They reached the height
of 40 feet, probably as high as the
flood of 1883.
Rain has ceased in the upper valley
and there is no danger of further loss.
The loss approXimates $3.50, 600 to 81,
600, 900 and consists of damage to
stocks of goods and private property,
destruction Of the wagon and railroad
bridges across the Savannah river and
breaks in the canal banks. There are
dependent on the canal for power eight
cotton mills.
While the flood was at its height
five fires broke out. The Mcdaniel
builders material establishment,
North Augusta, burned. A train of
40 cars belonging to the Southern rail
way burned in Hamburg. Nixon s
lime, cement and hardware house and
huge quantity of lumber belonging
to the Georgia railway, at the Georgia
railway yards, were burned. The Au-
gusta Railway & Electric company
cannot run their cars for three days.
No power plants are in operation;
the telephone lines are not doing busi-
ness; the railroads are accepting no
passengers. The water service is
crippled, but intact. The gas company
service is impaired, but not shut down.
There have been 10 to Is drownings,
mostly negro laborers.
From the northwestern section of
the city the waters will not recede for
two or three days. Tonight is a night
of tension. Missing men and families
are being reported.
The Augusta Chronicle got out its
Thursday edition in abbreviated form
at p. m. The Augusta Herald, an
afternoon paper, could not publish
Wednesday or Thursday.
