NEW LONDON UNDER WATER
Wolf and Gmbarrass Rivers Overflow
Banks and Residents Have to
Move-Farms Submerged.

Appleton, The food waters of the
Wolf and Embarrass rivers. from
the recent heavy rains In Shawano,
Oconto and Landglade counties, have
reached New London and the Wolf
river raised over two feet in twenty
four hours, while the Embarrass riy-
err at New London came up about
fourteen inches in the same length
Of time.
Part OF the city of New London Is
under from one to three feet of wa
ter, the residents being compelled
to move TO the second floor OF their
homes and to use boats az the only
means OF getting away from their
homes.
The water is running about two
feet deep over the floors OF over 100
houses and many are moving out in
boats to the higher ground on the
south side of the river.
Hundreds of farmers H. the low
lands in the northern part of Outa-
game and in Shawano and Waupaca
counties Will lose their entire crops.
Thousands of acres of cabbage and
potatoes are under several feet OF
water.
The food waters will not reach
Lake Winnebago and the Fox river
for several days, but the only dam
age then will be to the low lands
about Fond du Lac. Oshkosh and
Neenah. the high banks OF the Fox
river being able to Withstand all the
water coming down from Lake Win
nebago, and that body being so large
Will not raise more than a foot or
two at the most.

WAUSAU FLOODED
By HEAVY RAINS
Bridges Washed Out; Electric
Plant Out of Commission.
LOSS MAY BE A MILLION
Wiscc nsin River Overflows Banks
Wren Dams Break, Causing Great
Damage-Waters Recede After Dam
10 DJnamited.

Wausau.-A storm approaching a
cloudburst swept through northern
Wisconsin, causing floods which
swept away dams and bridges,
washed out railroad tracks in several
places, paralyzed business In several
cities and caused damage totaling
several hundred thousands OF dol
lars. So far as is known there has
been no loss of life.
The city of Wausau has suffered
the worst from foods following the
giving way of the Brokaw dam near
Tomahawk The collapse of this
structure let loose tremendous vol
ume of water, which tore down the
Wisconsin river at terrific rate,
carrying away bridges and sweeping
off near-shore buildings which lay
In its path
The flood caused the river at this
point to overflow its banks and en-
croached on a considerable portion
OF the business district, putting the
street railway power plant and water
works system out of commission. The
city was without electric light and
street cars were tied up.
The cofferdam at Rothschild was
dynamited to relieve the flood condi"
tons in Wausau and the water be-
gan to slowly recede
The Kickbusch Wholesale Grocery
company suffered loss of about
$4,000 to stock by water in the
basement.
Deprived of electric power by the
flood the Daily Record-Herald issue
was run off by automobile power, a
belt running from the auto in the
street to the press in the building.
The municipal pumping station
being out of commission and wells
being a rarity in the city, drinking
water famine threatened the city.
Manitowoc, Green Bay, Shawano,
Oshkosh, Neenah and other cities
were also hard hit, and the total
damage may reach the million dol
lar mark.

PASS SUGAR BILL
REDUCING TARIFF
Bristow-Lodge Measure Adopted
by Senate So to 3.
BELIEVED TAFT WILL SIGN IT
Cut Would Save $2o,oo0,oo0 to Con-
sumers and Decrease Revenue
$500, ooo-Reciprocity Re-
peal 10 Defeated.

Washington, July 30.-The senate,
by q vote of 81 to 3 passed the Repub-
lican sugar tariff bill on Saturday, the
only real Republican revision measure
that has been adopted at the present
session OF congress.
Deserving their allies Of the last two
days, the Republican progressives, by
an ironclad agreement with the regu-
lars, succeeded In passing tarin re-
duction bill which they believe Presi-
dent Taft will sign II 1t reaches him.
The sugar bill was compromise
between the Lodge plan. Endorsed by
the regular Republicans and the Bris-
tow bill, behind which the progress
sives lined up. It would cut the pres
ent sugar duty to $40 to $3.50;
would abolish the Dutch standard. I'M
der which practically no refined sugar
can be imported; and would abolish
the 71s cent "reflners differential," an
additional duty ON refined sugar.
which, 1t Is claimed, has accrued d.
rectly to the profit of the sugar re-
finers.
1t is estimated that the sugar tarih
reduction, If 1t becomes effective, will
reduce government customs receipts
about $5,500,000, while Its savings In
the retail sugar bill of the nation is
estimated at $20,000.00O.
An attempt to attach the Canadian
reciprocity repeal amendment to the
bill, made by Senator McCumber, was
defeated 81 to "a. This vote showed
the purpose Of the Republicans to pre-
vent any change in the sugar bill that
might mean its defeat when 1t goes
back to the house.
Democrats and insurgents united
again In the senate on Friday and
by vote Of SO to IS passed
the Democratic excise tax bill, ex-
tending the present tax on corpora
lions to the business of individuals,
private firms and co-partnerships.
Attached to the measure, also by the
aid Of Republican votes, were amend
ments for the repeal of the Canadian
reciprocity law and the fixing Of a 81
per ton tariff on print paper, and for
the establishment OF permanent non
partisan tariff commission.
The bill as passed by the senate
levies an annual tax equal to one per
cent. Of net incomes in excess Of $5.-
600 upon all persons. firms or co-part-
nershlps. AS amended 1t will now go
to conference.
After defeating the Cummins' wool
tariff bill on Thursday by vote Of "a
to 80 and adopting compromise
measure proposed by Senator Penrose
IN committee of the whole, the senate
finally passed the La Toilette bill Of
1911 through the coalition Of the In
surSent Republican and Democrats.
The La Toilette bill was adopted by
vote Of 80 to q less than two hours
after the Republican leaders had
achieved what they believed was vic
tory when compromise submitted by
Senator Penrose was passed In the
committee Of the whole.
