| though no great damage beyond In
I convenience to the citizens and minor
| damage to the roadbed Of the railroads

Telegraphic communication to the
| south is partially interrupted, but II
was learned tonight over a working
wire that there has been no loss of
life reported to the south Of Monte
rey.
The number losing their lives In the
Hood waters of the Santa Carina River
has been placed as high as 1000, but
lltt Is thought that this, number Is a
gross exaggeratiop due to the chaotic
conditions prevailing. However. 1t Is
Certain that the, food was the most
terrible in the history of the oldest
inhabitants. and that the loss of life
will be great.
All Wires Are DOvvn.
Inquiry was made tonight at the
offices of the National Railway to
learn IL any light could be thrown
upon life loss in Monterey. but that
ONCE was in ignorance of the situation,
they having lost all wires to the south
late last night. aE
There has been no train service into
this city from the south and reports
received by the railroad through
round about source, indicate that the
tracks ana road beds cannot be re-
established before Monday.
Monterey Is q city OF about 70.0oo in
habitants and is located 16S miles from
Laredo. 1t is set in a valley between
huge mountains and Is traversed by
the santa Carina River. Among some
of the plants that were more or less
damaged are: The electric light plant,
the water works. the yards Of the Ma
tional Railway Of Mexico. also several
warehouses of private individuals in
that vicinity; the shelters and steel
plant. which latter are reported to be
badly damaged by the water.
According to advices from the Fed
eral telegraph authorities, all wires
south are paralyzed, only one wire
working south of Laredo, and commu-
nication with Monterey was secured
over this wire via Cuidad Porforio
Dias and Chihuahua, a circultous
route.
The town OF Golondrinas. eighty-hve
miles from Laredo. was entirely flood.
ed and several kilometers of track on
the National Railway washed away.
Little Town Flooded.
Golondrinas is q little town OF about
2. coo inhabitants ana is situated In
valley between two large mountains.
From q reliable source, but NNlch
cannot be quoted. the information is
CLEANED that in Monterey the loss of
life as a result of the overflow OF the
santa Catarina River is placed at from
100 to 800 persons.
First estimates placed the loss at
from 600 to 1000 persons. but 1t was
thought that this high estimate OF
casualties was due to chaotic condi-
lions existing.
Until comp.unication is re-establish-
ed. however, it will be impossible to
give accurate figures on the number
OF lives lost.

ever dreary the speeches may become.
FIRST comes Senator Aldrich, who has a
Dig tariff bill on the desk before him.
ne watches every detail that pertains to
mat measure. When there is roll-call
ne mas one OF the long printed slips bear
ing the name of Senators. His clerk,
VINO sits at his elbow, marks off the votes
as Senators respond. Before the result
has been announced, Senator Aldrich has
glanced down the column and can tell in
a twinkle whether there has been any
material change that would affect the
majority.
Next to the Rhode Islander in the row
SITS Senator Hale. He gets away from
MS residence on sixteenth street little
AFTER O'Clock every week day morning
which is pretty early start for Wash
lngton-and is in his little corner room
on the gallery floor of the Senate by the
time the Senate is called to order at 10
O'Clock. In few minutes he is on the
floor and remains there most of the time
till 5 O'Clock in the afternoon, which has
been the customary hour for adjourn
ment.
The Maine Senator has probably fol-
lowed the tariff debates closer than any
other Senator. That accounts for the
readiness with which he jumps into the
debate. AS the consideration of the tariff
bill has progressed Senator Hale has been
taking constantly more important part,
and his activity in that line promises to
continue till the Senate has disposed OF the
bill. Bailey of Texas, Bacon of Georgia,
Democrats, and even the insurgent Re-
publicans, cross swords with the Maine
Senator almost daily. Right next to
Senator Hale sits the other member of
the New England trio, Senator Lodge OF
Massachusetts. No one who sees the
part those three Senators are taking in
tariff building can question the influence
of New England in the Senate Of the
United States.

Waldo County w. c. T. U. Convention.

For the first time in some thirteen
years, the weather seriously interfered
with the county convention held in Win
terport, May 25th, by lessening the num-
Der of delegates in attendance. The
more honor, therefore, to those from
Northport, Monroe and Jackson who
persevered through distance and difficult
ties and finally reached their goal.
Owing to the small attendance much was
necessarily omitted. During the fore
noon, Miss Timing addressed two schools.
The first thing in the afternoon, after
little routine business, was the Memo
rial Service, in charge of Mrs. Lockhart.
A carefully prepared and fitting program
was given in memory of those who have
been promoted to the Higher Service
Mrs. Gordon of Knox, Mrs. Roberts of
Waldo, Mrs. Willard of Winterport, Mrs.
Alexander of Belfast, Mrs. Post of
Knox. A most pleasing event was the
introduction of little Lennie Littlefield
Murray, daughter of Mrs. Effie Little
field Murray, formerly of Winterport,
and who is so lovingly remembered for
her work in many directions, and es-
pecially her great interest in the w. c.
T. U. Little Lennie gave greeting
from her mother, and a brief recitation.
Miss Timing gave chalk talk on CAL
cohol and the Working Power" telling
of experiments by many physicians
proving that alcohol lessons the working
power. 1t was voted to amend the
county constitution, making the dues to
the county ten cents-to take effect for
next year. The county officers were re-
elected, save the treasurer. Miss Wey-
mouth resigned and Mrs. Alberta George
of Winterportis now our treasurer.
The resolutions covered Purity, Fran
chise, Scientific Temperance Instruction
in schools, Purity in Art and Literature,
etc.
Miss Things address in the evening
was an eloquent appeal for courage,
loyalty, faithfulness, gentleness, begin
ming with reference to The Knights of
the Round Table as told in Tennyson's
poem. Miss Timing is an English girl,
who of late years has made her home
with friends in Norfolk, Virginia. The
flags of the two countries with county
and prize banners, potted plants and
other decorations, made pretty setting
for the speaker and her hearers. Por-
traits of Neal Dow and Miss Willard
took our thoughts back to the beginnings
of the temperance battle. We also knew
we were welcome. Thoughtful prepara-
ton had been made, and we did have
pleasant and profitable meeting, in spite
of the rain. At an adjourned session the
next morning several vacant superinten-
dancies were filled.
Rev. J. L. Carson was an interested
attendant on the meetings and spoke of
his work in Bethel Mission at Cape Jelli-
son, and along shore, bespeaking the CO.
operation Of our organization. Capt.
fainter of Winterport, an honorary
member, showed his right to belong to
the organization by his deeds and his
words, and Rev. A. j. Lockhart and
wife are veritable towers of strength to
the local union.
