CLOUDBURST DOES DAMAGE.
Track Washed Out, Bridge DamaS,
ed, Mines Flooded.

Over two miles Of track of the
Virginia Anthracite were washed ouI,
bridges were damaged and the Mer-
rimac Coal mines near Blacksburg,
Va, were flooded by cloudburSI
a few days ago. Officials of the road
say it will be at least five days before
the track can be put in shape for
traffic again. Meanwhile all MA
and passenger service between
Blacksburg, where is located Virgin
ia Polytechnic institute, and Chris
tiansburg, must be carried on by a
hack line. The cloudburst extended
over three miles between these two
places. An early report indicates
much damage to crops by high water.
Many telephone lines are down. Tha
storm at Blacksburg was the heaviest
for many years.

might stir up.
An agreement to arbitrate appears
to be the only other means of set
Ting the strike and there was some
doubt that the mere fact of such
an agreement would remove the
danger to such of the roads negro
tiremen as might work pending a
final settlement of the dispute.
Reports from the towns affected
by the strike said that perfect order
prevailed and that expressions Of
opinion favorable to the strikers pre-
dominate throughout the strike ter
ritory.

Senator Bailey Attacks Mr.. w. S.
Manning in the
MAIN SENATE LOBBY
The Difficulty Was Caused by y
Newspaper Story Published in the
New York Times, of Which Paper

respondent.

respondent.
The spectacle Of a United States
Senator, weighing 22O pounds, about
45 years of age, attacking young
man weighing just 1870 pounds and
less than half his age-was the scene
enacted in the main lobby Of the
Senate late Thursday afternoon,
when Senator Joseph Weldon Bailey,
Of Texas, made a vicious attack on
William Sinkler Manning, of the
Washington staff Of the New York
Times. The following particulars Of
the affair, which was not very credit
able to Senator Bailey, is furnished
The News and Courier by "P. H.
McG," its Washington correspon-
dent:
Becoming angered by publica-
tion in the paper referred to con-
cerning his connection with the in
come tax amendment Senator Bailey
declared the writer to be a liar.
Later on Manning met Senator Bail
ey in the lobby near the Senate, and
assured him that he was not the
author of the article referred to.
Bailey became angry and made a
lunge at Manning, catching him by
the throat and attempting to choke
him.
Manning, however, was game and
bronze the hold of the Texas Senator,
who is powerfully built and is also
very strong. After breaking the grip
that Bailey had on him, Manning
got in some good ones, and though
at close range, did most of the hit
ting. He bears no marks of violence
on his person tonight, except that
his neck is somewhat red and swol-
len from Bailey's grasp upon him.
After the combatants had been
separated, and Manning, who had an
umbrella in his hand at the time
Bailey attacked him, had picked ie
up off the floor, he said to Bailey,
showing him how the umbrella had
been bent: This is the way you
attack a gentleman and ruin a good
umbrella" With that Bailey made
another frantic effort to knock Man
ming down! Several Senators then
rushed in, and the trouble came to
an end.
Washington is discussing the affair
tonight as it has talked of nothing
else in long time. The shame of
it is on Bailey, that a United States
Senator should so lose control Of
himself and become so angered as
to make an assault of this kind.
Regardless of the merits of the ar
ticle in the New York paper, it is
said everywhere that there was not
the slightest provocation for the at
tack on Bailey's part. after Manning
had assured him that he was not
its author.
Mr.. Manning is a son of R. l. Man.
ming of Sumter. He came to Wash
lnStOn ABOUT year ago from view
York, and became attached to the
Washington Office of the New York
Times He is one Of the most gentle
manly young men employed in news
paper work in Washington, and is
probably the last person in the world
to provoke an assault without cause.
However, once in the fight, it was
only to be expected that he would
give good account of himself. He
could not do otherwise with such an
ancestry as he possesses.
Senator Bailey, it is understood,
has been cndeavoring to have the
matter suppressed.

WHAT WILL THEY DO?
Much Speculation Regarding Course OF
Latin Republics.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Much specu-
lation was current today in official and
diplomatic circles here concerning the
probable action of Central American
republics in the recognition of the
Madriz government at Managua. The
state department thus far has received
no official information of such recog-
milton by any Latin American country.
1t is an open secret that the Amer
ican state department would be sur
priSed to learn Mexico had recognized
President Madriz without having pre-
viously consulted the United States.
Zelayas influence in Honduras has
been such that the recognition of the
Madriz government by that country
would seem quite natural in the view
of diplomats here.
The intense desire of Costa Rica for
peace at any price, it is said, might
lead that nation to wish for a settle
ment of the disturbed state of Mica
raguan affairs at the earliest possible
moment and for that reason, it is be-
lieved, it would lend it's influence in
giving stability to the Madriz govern
ment by recognizing its authority
should such a movement be started by
any of the other Centra! American re-
publics.
Official information that General To-
ledo, who is supposed to be in posses
sion of arms furnished by Zelaya be-
fore his departure, is at Managua, 6ii-
recting military operations in the ca
pacity of minister of war, was received
at the state department today.

year to sleep easy; in London 10
cents and in Milan IT cents. The
United States geological survey has
made some computations tc show that
this difference is because the building
restrictions in Europe are greater
than in this country, that there are
more f1reproof buildings and that the
cost OF maintaining the ire depart
ments is not so great. It is not be-
cause American fire departments are
expensively administered.
When it comes to conserving the
country's resources or, better yet, its
assets, the toll of fire tells fearful
lesson. During 1907, the 15S largest
American cities lost more than S48,-
100000 in their fires covered by in
surance amounting to $42.OOO,0OO.
1t costs these cities about $3S,OOO,-
600 a year to maintain their paid
fire departments. From this the sta
tistical experts calculate that it costs
each person protected thereby $1.65
yearly.
