FLOODS IN JAPAN.
thousands Of Persons Believed to Have
Perished-Danger Of Epidemic.

Toxic. Aug. 15.-Tokio's unpre-
cedented floods has already claimed
700 lives, according to estimates made
today, with the prospects that the
total deaths will run into the thousands
as the result of the destitute condition
OF the sufferers and the inability OF the
authorities to render any but the slow
est relief. There is the gravest danger
also OF an epidemic sweeping the city,
as it is now certain that it will be days
before some Of the submerged section
can be cleaned and di<infected.
The waters OF the Tonewaga river
have not risen since yesterday, but
the expected subsistence the moment
the crest Of flood was reached, has not
fmateralized, and the suburbs, as well
as about one.third Of the city proper
are still under water.
The police and other city authorities
are making heroic effort to distribute
| food to the victims by means Of boats,
but the service is wholly inadequate
and thousands are not being provided
for. Owing to the cutting off OF trans
portation lines, the city's food supply
is running short and the situation bids
fair TO become acute.
Even the well to do people OF the
| city who have not been reached by the
flood are on short rations and will re-
main so until food supplies can be
brought in. The government is con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of confiscatins
the stocks OF food now hand.
Reports that come i'll from other
cities show conditions elsewhere to be
nearly as bad rs in Toxic. Yokohama
and Nagasaki have been hard hit and
the deaths there will into the hun

Tomorrow Primary in Nebraska.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 15.-Ncbraslsa
voters will tomorrow engage i'll the
most exciting primary battle in the
state S, history. Because anti-saloonlstS
we're able to force the county option
issue to the front, the forecasters are
out OF business.
The scnatorship and govcrnorship
are the two big stakes. Gov. Shallen-
berger, because he signed the O'Clock
closing law, is the target OF bitter
fight on the part Of the democratic
''wets" who are lined up behind Mayor
Jim" Dahlman, OF Omaha. The
new primary law makes the ballot
open. and permits republicans or dem
ocrats to vote with the opposite party.
Dahlman is claiming the support OF
thousands of republicans. Dahlman'S
chances, in fact, hinge largely upon
his success in attracting republican
support, as the democratic drift OF the
past three weeks has been toward Shall
enberger.
Equally exciting has been the cam
paign between Congressman Hitch
cock and Richard L. Mctcalfc, Bryan's
assistant editor, for the senatorial NOM
nation. Hitchcock is favored by the
vets and Metcalfe by the drys. Willis
E. Reed, Of Madison, promises to be 4
poor third in the race.
The republicans, meanwhile, have
been having troubles of their own.
State Senator Aldrich is supported for
governor by the dry element, while eN-
Senator Cadv is favored by the vets.
United States Senator Burkett is OPP
posed by Charles 0. Whedon, a radi-
cal progressive.
The denomination Of Burkett. who
has the backing of the organization and
several hundred postmasters and fede-
raj officeholders, appears to be almost
a certainty.

Of opinion as to the method of pro-

FIRE AT EXPOSITION.

Fire swept the great Belgian cxposi-
ton at Brussels last night. The flames
were driven by high wind and soon
destroyed the Belgian, English and
French sections. Two persons are dead
and 30iniured. So far as can be learn
ed the fire originated while there was
the usual large Sunday crowd outside
the building to look at the fireworks.
1t seems that the electric wires leading
into the temporary postofiicc in the
Belgian section became short circuited
and within very few Minutes the
office was mass of flames. This was
about O'Clock yesterday evening, a
few minutes after the fire was discover
ed the blaze was running ficrcely along
the facade, which is the most striking
feature Of that section.
