 Takahira said at a dinner given in his honor last night that in a large measure the Japanese themselves are responsible for the i'll feeling of many Americans toward them because they do not try to assimilate with Ihe people of this country. He said that if the Japanese did not hold themselves aloOf but instead associated with the Am erican people and got more into the spirit of American institutions they would grow in favor as desirable resi- dents.

YUMA'S WORST FLOOD
 IN EIGHTEEN YEARS A DELUGE FOR ALMOST THREE HOURS Inflicted Damage Which Amounted
 Into Thousands.

Yuma, Aug 16.-The most dis astrous rainstorm experienced in this vicinity since the great flood of 1891, broke over. Yuma this morning. For almost three hours the water fell in torrents covering the streets in the business section to a depth in places of a foot. The cellars and basements of all the large mercantile establish ments were flooded. the damage re sulting to the various stocks carried, running all the way from $500 to 5000
 Spitler and Huffman, grOcers, esti- mate their loss at s2000, while that of E. r. Sanguinetti will be at least s2000 greater. The streets and alleys lying between Main street and Prison Hill. the lowest portion of town, were raging streams and here the storm wrought the greatest havoc.
 The adobe houses of the poorer class, crumbled like sugar. The South ern Pacific track on both sides of town are washed out and a wrecking train which was made up to go west was compelled to wait until the sand could be cleaned off the Madison track for a distance of two blocks.

 IN A WHIRLPOOL A FRAGILE BOY SWIMMER AT
 NIAGARA.
He Made a Great but Unsuccessful
 Struggle For His Life.

Niagara Falls. Aug. 16.-Eighteen- year-old August SpOrer of this city was drowned today in the whirlpool rapids. With three companions he was swimming in the river. He struck out once for the middle of the stream. His companions called to him to turn back. for the current is very swift at that point. but le kept on down stream and was caught in the great sweep. the first break from the smooth waters to the rapids.
 Although but a brave boy, he went into the rapids swimming strongly and held his own until he struck a giant wave. Again and again he dis appeared only to reappear each time. fighting desperately against the cur rent. Then when within 100 yards of the whirlpool his strength gave out and he sank. Even then he had swan 100 yards further than did the great Eng fish swimmer. Captain Webb.

THE CONSTITUTION
 FOR SOUTH AFRICA
British Empire Engaged in a Most
 Important Matter.

London. Aug 16.-The house of commons unanimously passed the sec ond reading of the South African constitution bill tonight. In the course of the debate former Premier Balfour said the house in dealing with the question of a constitution for the federation of the South Afri- can colonies-the Transvaal, Cape Colony, the Orange River state and Natal-was discussing one of the most important events in the history of the British empire. The bill, he declared, was a most wonderful issue from all controversies, battles, blood shed and difficulties to peace, and he believed the world could not show anything like it.
 The race problem, MT. Balfour said. was but a fractional part. of the great question the parliament was now deciding He strongly denied that it was intended to give the col ored races equality with Europeans. declaring that it would be Impossible to give equal rights to the colored races without threatening the whole fabric Of civilization. In the opinion of MT. Balfour, the best hope of the solution of this great problem is to place confidence in the representative institutions the South Africans are now creating and for the home gov ernment not to meddle with 1t.

Destruction of the Crops in Two States The Terror of a Prospective Ice Fam inc Added to Awful Heat in the City on the Kaw.

Kansas City, Aug. 16.-The unusu- ally intense heat officially recorded by the government weather bureau, as high as 110 degrees, caused at least three deaths, numerous prostrations and much damage to crops today in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. Throughout the southwest the day was the most trying since the de- vastating drouth of 1901. As the whitening winds swept across the plains, much vegetation fell.
 In this city the heat continued on and prostrated d score. some of whom are in a serious condition. The Union depot was like an oven. Babies be- came seriously i'll. and medical atten- ton was needed before their mothers could resume their journey. The dis tress of d party of immigrants was great. The likelihood of an ice fam inc added to the gravity of the situa- ton here. Dealers reported that fac tories were running night and day. but the demand exceeded the supply.

|As VICTIMS 0F DISEASE
Debate in the Convention of the American Prison Association on the Indi- ana Plan and Other Meth ods to Be Adopted.

Seattle, Aug. 16.-The debate in the American Prison association today on the Indiana plan" for preventing the propagation of criminals and idiots de- velOped much sentiment in favor of the plan" and was, according to Presi dent J. T. Gilmour of Toronto, Ont, the most profitable discussion the asso- citation meeting has held in years.
 The feature of tonight's session was the report of the committee on preven- tion and probation presented by Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the Denver juvenile court, who said in part: "Our crim- inal law as it came down to us through feudalism, tainted with it's extreme re- spect for property that equaled its cor responding disrespect for human life and feeling was instrumental of gov ernment far from perfect, even for the purposes for which it was intended. Admitting that it was necessary and justifiable as a system in that period of social develOpment-as we must yet we must equally admit it must do more harm than good as long as it rests alone on force, violeIce, ven geance and punishment. The time may come, however, far in the future it may be, or how unprepared we may be for it now, when the state will deal with a criminal much as we do now with the insane, but the treatment of the criminal will be as unlike the ex- treme methods in vOgue-of stripes, iron cells and other reminders of deg radiation as it is in the treatment of the insane, who within century were as completely brutalized and degraded as conyicts now are"

Canea Island of Crete, Aug 16.-The provisional administrative committee to which the administration of the island was entrusted when the Cretan cabinet resigned on Sunday, took an oath of allegiance to the king and kingdom of Greece today.
 This action apparently indicates that it is not the committees inten- ton to meet the demands of the pro- tecting powers to haul down the Greek flag and that therefore the powers will again be forced to land troops to insure autonomy of the is land.
