 Seven Oaks, Eng. Aug. 26-The in- quest over the remains of Major Gener- al Luard's wife. who was assassinated near here on Monday of this week. has been opened, but the evidence thus far has not helped to unravel the mystery surrounding the murder.

 The physicians who held the post Enortem examination agreed that the wound could not have been self-inftcf- ed. The inquest was then adjourned for a fortnight.

Atianta, Ga.. Aug. 27.--with the water rushing up Broad street breast deep, current so strong that it is im- possible for men to wade through. Au- gusta Is being swept by a flood that has never been surpassed in it's his tory.
 From four to six feet of water Is the gauge on the principal streets of the city. On Broad street. the main busi- nes thoroughfare of the city. where are located nearly all of the public buildings together with the business house and banks. the flood is playing havic with first floors and basements
 Tie city is without light. fire or police protection. Efforts in these lines are being met with inability of these different departments to cope with the situation.
 Tonight. marooned in second and third story buildings. both in the business section and in the residence portion of the city. Augusta is waiting for the flood to subside.
 Fires started tonight in the cotton warehouse of Nixon and Danforth and in the warehouse of the Nixon whole- sale Grocery Company. It is said the fires were caused by water reaching lime stored in one of the warehouses which exploded.
 The fire department was unable to render any assistance on account of the high water.
 Two white people and one negro have been reported drowned It was also reported that a boat containing a family of husband, wife and two children was capsized and the whole party drowned, but this could not be eonfrmed.
 In the cotton mill district which is entirely covered by water, 1t is re- ported that every person got away safely to the higher ground, but noth- ing has been heard from them as to their condition and 1t is believed there is much suffering among these people for lack of shelter and food.
 The most prominent residence street of the city Green street. did not es- cape the water which stands from three to four feet deep in this section.
 A conservative estimate of the dam age by flood and Ire at this time has been placed at half million dollars. but it is believed that this sum will he exceeded before the flood subsidies.

zoLA TOO WICKED FoR JAPAN.

People Reputed to BE Immoral Cannot
Read paris" the Censor Ordains.
The Japanese Government censor of
literature has just forbidden the sale Of 8
translation Of Zola's 'Paris.' Tho Cow
ernment organ In Toxic announces in ex-
PLANTATION OF the censor's decision that the
book Is considered prejndicial to public
morals.
A year ago the censor forbade the pub
lication of Tolstois ANNA Karenina' on
similar grounds. and several Of Maxim
Gorky's novels have been banned because
Of their adjudged immortality.
This seeming contradiction Of the hasty
Occidental assumption that the lapaneso
are an immoral people is not piece OF
play acting on the part OF the Government
censor intended as bid for Western APP
proval. It is fact that there Is less misuse
OF the mails in japan for the transmission
OF immoral literature and pictures than In
any so-called Christian country. Fiction
such as the recent English school Of nat
uralists has been turning out is not In
digenous to Japan nor does it flourish In
transplanted growth. ~
The same folks who still in the more
remote districts make daily use OF COM
mon baths for men and women and who
make no shame Of the naked body are too
pure. 80 the censor thinks. to read some OF
the current European fiction.
