ways Commission.

Washington, June S.-Carrying out
his declaration to the conference of
governors that should congress fail to
provide for the continuance of the in
land waterways commission he should
continue 1t by executive act and con-
gress having failed to take action on
the subject, President Roosevelt has
reappointed the members of that COM
mission. In doing so he made public
the following explanation:
I'm view of the desirability of con-
tinuing the work of the inland water
ways commission the president has
requested those designated last year,
with the exception of General Alex
ander Mackenzie, chief of engineers,
war department, who has retired, to
continue their services on the said
commission and has also requested
Senator William B. Allison, Represen-
tative Joseph e. Ransdell and George
r. Swaine of the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology to serve as mem
bers. As soon as a selection for the
chief of engineers for the war depart
ment has been made he will also be
designated a member of the commits
sion in place of General Mackenzie.

and Eight Injured.

San Pedro, Cal, June 8.-While the
United States cruiser Tennessee was
steaming at nineteen knots en- speed
trial off Point Huenene a steampipe
in the starboard engine room burst
under 225 pounds pressure, killing
four men and injuring ten others-all
of the men in the compartment at the
time. Four of the men were killed
instantly and two more died on the
arrival here of the Tennessee.
The explosion, the cause of which
is unknown, occurred only few min
utes after Admiral Uriel Sebree, Cap
tain F. B. Howard and Chief Engineer
Robertson had left the engine room
on tour of inspection.
There were fourteen men in the fire
room when the tube, which was four
inches in diameter and inclosed in
side the boiler, blew out, driving a
torrent of scalding steam, hot dust,
cinders and hot ashes through the ash
pit and showering the half naked men.

most disastrous flood in its history
Following six hours rainfall Boggy
creek, running through the city, wild
ened from twenty feet to 1900 feet
and flooded practically the whole of
Enid, carrying away houses, flooding
stores and endangering lives. Water

covering two blocks of the business
center. Fifty houses were swept away
and carried down stream with the
occupants, who had been driven to the
roofs, shouting for help Several fam
lilies fioated about at the mercy of the
flood waters and in the darkness all
night. All were finally rescued at
daylight. No fatalities are reported.
The heaviest losers were the Enid

southwestern part Of the county the
tornado clouds became larger as they
moved northeast, destroying every
thing In their path.

ing Up Platform.

Norfolk, Va, June 8.-Wade Ellis,
attorney general of Ohio, who has
been at Virginia Beach for several
days preparing the first draft of the
Republican national platform, will
leave shortly for Washington and
thence will go to Chicago.
"The only work that has been done
on the platform" said Mr.. Ellis, "has
been the attempt to get together in
concrete form some suggestions for
the resolutions committee which might
be made the basis for the work to be
done by that committee on the plat
form. There Is no intention Of pre-
pairing a platform In advance of the
meeting of the committee.
Several prospective members of
the committee, CHANGING to be In
Washington, talked the matter over
with President Roosevelt, Secretary
Taft and others interested in the sub
ject That is all there is to be said
about the Washington conference"

FLOOD DAMAGE HEAVY
Crop Losses in Montana ESti-
mated at Nearly Total.
RAILROADS IN BAD SHAPE

From Eight to Ten Thousand Passen-
gers Stalled in the State With Lit
tie Hope of Rescue for Some Time
to Come.
Butte, Mont, June S.-With crop
losses estimated at from two-thirds to
total destruction in S. veral of the rich
valleys of the state, with damage to
railroad lines estimated at more than
s1,000,O00, while the systems scarcely
can be put upon normal basis under
two weeks. with from 5000 to 10000
passengers stalled in this state with
little hope of immediate rescue, Mon
tana is experiencing the worst flood
in the history of the state
The Northern Pacific has moved
here from Logan many of the west
bound passengers stalled at that point,
but it is now impossible to get a train
in or out of Butte over any railway
The Great Northern trains to and
from Helena are tied up near Basin.
The Northern Pacific officials frank
ly confess that they don't know where
their express trains are, nor can the
whereabouts of the Oregon Short Line
trains be learned.
The new roadbed of the st. Paul
west of here is badly washed out in
many places. The Butte, Anaconda
and Pacific has lost four bridges be.
tween here and Anaconda.
Because of washouts on the Great
Northern the Boston and Montana
properties in Butte probably will
close, throwing thousands of men out
of work here and forcing the smelter
at Great Falls, which employs thou
sands more, to shut down.
Butte is still without street cars,
lights and electrical power of any sort
The damage In this city has been
slight, but the property loss has been
heavy on the lowlands west and south
of here and loss of life Is feared. The
damage to the new roadbed of the ST.
Paul alone will probably reach $780,
900.
