The Freezing'Weather Causes an Exag- geration of the Damage—One City In Great 'Danger if ,the Big Dam Near It Should Burst. CHIPPEWA FALLs, Wis, Dec. 2. -—-A more disastrous flood than the memorable one of 1884, in which thousands of dollars’ worth of property was destroyed, threatens 7 this city. An ice gorge, fastened by thou- sands of logs, has formed at the site of the old Lafayette mill, and the enormous body of water which resulted on account of the recent rains is being held in a space com- passing the distance between the gorge and the Chippewa Lumber and Boom com- pany’s dam in this city, covering about six miles of the river. The water from the numerous creeks and lakes tributary to the Chippewa is fast filling the country along this six miles, and farms and dwellings are being inundated, and the city is in danger. Al- ready the basements of every business and dwelling house in Spring and River streets are filled, and the water isQowly creeping up Bridge street into the city. There seems to be no escape, and in a short time, it is believed, the river will have reached a height of 20 or 30 feet. The sewers are flooded, and the water is freezing as it rises. At the rate the water is rising now a height will be reached that means the flooding of half of the city. The electric lighting plant has been flooded, and the city was in darkness last night. At Irvine, near here, the tracks are flooded, and no trains came‘in today. The alarm was sounded early yesterday morning, and all day long teams and an army of men were busy in moving goods from basements and stores near the river. As the water continued to‘rise and it be- came known how great was the volume of water which was accumulating other merchants became alarmed and started in to get their goods to a place of safety. The excitement last night was even greater. The absence of electric light, the yellow glimmer of lanterns and candles in its place, the shouts of teamsters and toiling men made a. weird combination. . The weather is intensely cold, and the streets are a mass Of ice, over whichrflows the in- coming tide as it slowly rises. A similar flood occurred in 1894, caus- ing a loss of many thousands of dollars. A great deal of railway property is threat~ ened, and many highway and railway bridges will probably be swopt away. Be- low the immense gorge the river is prac- tically dry, and when the jam breaks the body of water in the reservoir must carry destruction to the valley below. Eau Claire has every reason to feel apprehen- sive, as its danger begins when that of Chippewa Falls has passed. The News From Dan Claire. EAU CLAIRE, Wit-1., Dec. 2.—The Chip- pewa river is jammed with ice in several places from the Dells Sorting works, just . ’ above Eau Claire to Gravel island, two miles from Chippewa Falls. The backwa- ter at Chippewa is accumulating rapidly, flooding part of the town, and is up to 18 feet. Alarming reports are received as to the possibility of the ice jam breaking'and precipitating a great mass of water on Eau Claire. About 20 miles of the valley divi- sion of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul south of Eau Ola-ire is under water and ice, and there have been no trains for three days. _ On the lowlands below Durrand the rise was so rapidvthat many families had to flee in their nightrobes to places of safety and leave their all behind them. The suffering among the women and children was in- tense, and many were reported as having frozen feet and limbs. As a rule those who could fled to the railroad track. There they built a fire and tried to protect themselves from the frosty winds until relief arrived. An engine and coach sent out from Du-_ rand gathered up about 40 or 50 of these unfortunate persons, but so fast was the water rising that the train had to go back to Durand. It is thought that some of them were not reached by the rescuing party and possibly may have perished. The bottoms are all under water, and the stock and produce are a complete loss. Dead do- mestic animals could be seen all about the neighborhood, frozen stifl‘ in the ice. In most of the homes were stored the winter supplies, and these were all lost. Stevens Point Too. STEVENS POINT, Wis., Dec. 2.—The wa- ter in the Wisconsin river at this place has reached a point three feet below the great high water mark of 1881, when this town was flooded. At present the streets several blocks back from the slough which runs through the city are flooded, and last night residents in the flooded districts carried all their goods from the cellars up stairs. Burns and outhouses were flooded, and the owners of stock were compelled to secure quarters for them on higher ground. The water is over 50 feet above low water mark, and should it continue to rise the lower parts of the town will be flooded. A dike was built a. number of years ago for the protection of a large part of the residence portion of the city, but this has now fallen into disrepair, and if the threatened flood comes hundreds of families will be com- pelled to seek shelter on higher ground . WAUSAU, Wis, Dec. 1.——The Wisconsin river is so high at Heights, a point a few miles north .of this city, that it is impossi- 'ble for trains to go any farther than Wau- sau on acé‘ount of the railroad track being flooded to the depth of 18 inches. The wa- ter is the highest it has been in eight years. Big Deal Falls Through. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.—A paper states that the projected sale of the Los Angeles street car lines to a syndicate of South African mine operators has fallen through. The agent of the syndicate informed the bondholders of the roads that, his clients were unwilling to undertake the enter- prise. . The deal involved about $4,000,000 cash.

A Burnet- That Major McKinley Protein Him to Thomas B. Reed. NEW YORK, De'c. 2,—The EveningTele; gram publishes the following specialdis- patch from its Washington correspondent; It is said here today that Congressman Grosvenor will contest the Speakership of the next congress with Tom Reed. Friends of President Elect McKinley, it is under- stood, are urging the Ohio representative to make‘ the race, and, the possibility of a contest is already causing the early at- CHARLES H. GROSVENOR. rivals to talk. Though no one can say positively that Major McKinley has sanc- tioned the candidacy of Congressman Grosvenor, a Pennsylvania presentative informed me today that suc was the gen- eral impression. “One reason for this, ” said he, “is Me- Kinley’s knOwledge that Reed does not feel very friendly toward him. He wants a speaker who will work in harmony with him. Without such harmony the success of the administration will be lessened. Unless the speaker of the house is in sym- pathy with the president there is always trouble. The accomplishment of the ad- ministration’s wishes is obtained only aft- er considerable difficulty. But when per- fect sympathy exists between the two the accomplishment of the desired results is easy in so far as it may lie in the power of the speaker to make it easy. “The McKinley people know that on general subjects there is more sympathy between President Cleveland and Speaker Reed than there is between Major McKin- ley and the speaker. It is therefore not unnatural that the major should prefer Grosvenor to the man from Maine. “There is another reason. Reed is not in favor of a tariff so high as that which Mc- Kinley wants. Aman of Reed’s great force of character and domination of the house would be able to prevent the passage of a protective measure so high as McKinley would wish. It would be humiliating for the major to feel that he was unable to get through the house the kind of a bill he wants when there is a Republican major- ity Of good proportions in the body. But he realizes that such would be the case should Reed be the next speaker, and, as I tell you, the major will see to it that Reed is not re-elected to the high office he now occcupies if he (the major) can prevent it. " 'Agaln‘st Arehbllhip Corrigan. ALBANY, Doc. 2.‘-—The court of appeals has decided against Archbishop Michael _A. Corrigan of NewYork‘, who was the defendant and appellant in suit which was won by Marie T. Uppington in the lower courts, whereby she gained title and pos- session of 32 lots of land on One Hundred and Fifty-sixth street and Boston avenue, New York city. The property is valued at over 860,000, and Mrs. Uppington owns a half interest in the property. , Double Tragedy In a Church. TROY, S. 0., Dec. 2.—A double tragedy occurred at Bethany church, near here. For some time a. feud had exisWd between L. J. Williams and J. D. White because of political rivalry. The matter was broached after church by J. V.'White, a brother, who cursed Williams. They both drew pistols, and Williams killed White. J. D. White then cut Williams with a knife and was shot down, dying some hours later. Au Ex-Mnyor’s Wife Burned to Death. SOMERVILLE, Mass, Dec. 2.——Mrs. J o- seph S. Brown, wife of ex-Mayor Brown of this city, was burned to death in a fire which almost totally destroyed the resi- dence of the cx-mayor today. , Mr. Brown was also severely burned, and E. W. Hinds, a lodger in the house, only escaped by jumping from his chamber window to the ground. Turnpike Raiders Encouraged. FRANKFORT, Ky., Dec. 2.-—Governor Bradley has declined to offer a reward for the arrest and conviction of turnpike raid- ers, who have wrought such havoc in a half dozen counties, on the ground that he has no authority under the law. It is feared this action of the governor will ex- cite the mobs to more deeds of violence. French Agriculture. PARIS, Dec. 2.-—M. Meline, the premier, presided at the first meeting of the com- mission appointed to study means to im- prove French agriculture. He announced that the chief matters they proposed to discuss concerned the improvement of pas- ture land and irrigation, especially in mountainous regions. Swallowed Pulverize'd Glass. FORT WORTH, Tex., Dec. 2.—Dr. Cowan, implicated in the big land swindling case at Kansas City, and who has been in jail here for the last two months, committed suicide in the county jail today. Cowan pulverized a small looking glass and swal- lowed a large quantity of it, dying almost instantly. To Increase France's Navy. PARIS, Dec. 2.'—-It is reported that Ad- miral Besnard, the minister of marine, is not unfavorable to the proposal of M. Lockroy to include in the naval estimates $40,000,000 for building new men-of-war. It is probable, however, that the proposal will only be accepted in some modified form. Cable Offices Burned. LONDON, Dec. 2.——The offices of the An- glo-American Cable company and of the Commercial Cable company at Bradford were burned.

Cur-ow. ‘ SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-—The steam- ship Doric, from Hongkong and Yoko- hama, brings the news that Yokohama so- ciety'is torn up over a mysterious poison« ing case, 'Mr. ,R'. H. Carew, occupying a good Social position and secretary of the Yokohama United club, who was married to a lady of substantial income, was taken ill Oct. 15 and died Oct. 22. A cproner’s inquest wasuheld, and it was discovered that he had been poisoned. The evidence showed that Mrs. Carew just before his ill- ness and after he was sick had purchased arsenic in such quantities as to alarm the druggist. She said she wanted it for ma~ larial fever. Mrs. Carew told a remarkable story of a mysterious veiled woman dressed in black who called on her husband Oct. 10. Mr. Carew was not at home, and the woman The , left after makingan appointment to meet him. Mr. Carew appeared to be greatly worried when the woman failed to keep the appointment and wrote her a letter ad- dressed to Annie Luke. Mr. Carew was taken ill Oct. 15, and Oct. 20, while Mrs. Carew was out, the same mysterious wom- an called at the house. She asked where Mr. Carew’s room was situated, and the servant, after telling her, went to bed. That was the last seen of the mysterious visitor, but Mrs. Carew received from her a letter written by Mr. CarSW which had been thrown into a wastebasket. After Mr. Carew had'died and the inquest was in progress the woman wrote to Messrs. Low- der and Hall stating that she was going to join her “twin soul, ” and that she had fooled the chemist, the doctor and that “silly little wife. ” The police have been unable to find any trace of the Woman in black. The coroner’s jury brought in a. verdict that Mr. Carew died from the effects of ar- senic poisoning, but by whom the poison was administered there was no evidence to show. Mrs. Carew was then arrested and charged with the murder of her husband, but was later released on bail. Her trial was in progress when the steamer left. Cleveland Will Not Be the Dean. BALTIMORE, Doc. 1.—The fact that President Cleveland has purchased a house at Princeton, N. .I., where he will make his home after the expiration of his term of office, has given rise to a rumor that he would become‘dean of the Princeton law school.

Irwin, who has been ‘in‘ Japan for 30 years and has represented the Hawaiian government there, first asconsul and afterward as min- inster, during the greater part of that time," has just arrived from the orient. He said: “Thestateme‘nt that Russia has estab- lished a suzerainty over Korea is incorrect, although the fact that the king has housed in the Russian legation might lend cre- dence to that supposition. Japan’s ambi- thn does not extend to Korea. American influence is uppermost in the kingdom, and I am credibly informed that the king is acting entirely under the advice of three Americans—Minister Sill, the sec- retary of the American legation and an American missionary Of the name of Un- derwood. " - Mr. Irwin says that Japan’s sole ambiv tion now is commercial and industrial. The governmentis encouraging the con- struction, Operating and maintenance of railway and steamship lines and manufac- turing industries. He declares, however, that a false impression has been gained of the extent and importance of the steamship subsidies recently offered. “ The subsidies ofiered are entirely inad- equate for the purpose of maintaining a powerful line of transpaciflc steamers, ” he declared; ‘ ‘the Nippon Yuzen Kaiasa, which has undertaken to run a line of ships be- tween Japan and Seattle, will think better of the project before two ore-three years are passed, and the company, which is headed 'by S. Asano, will, in my honest opinion, never materialize. It will be many years before San Diego is the tenninus of any Japanese transpacific steamship line that Asano or any other Japanese capitalist or corporation may establish. Asano’s under- taking is largely a myth. “Just now the Transsiberian railway is attracting considerable attention in the orient. I believe that in three years the Transsiberian railway will be completed to Vladivostok and to a port on the Yang- tse river, probably Hankow. It stands to reason that the road will tap China if it wants to get business. Its terminus will not be an open port to Korea. It will be a port on the Yang-tee river, the tea market of the world. Russia will build from the Mongolian frontier O) Peking with French capital, and‘ China will build from P6- king to Hankow or some pOint near by on the river with British capital. “That is the present flxed programme, and Li Hung Chang will see it carried out if he lives a few years. when in England. China’s part of the pro- gramme can only be consummated by doubling her customs duties. She is now taking steps toward the accomplishment of that. " Pennsylvania Traction Receiver. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.—Judge Dallas in the United States circuit court today appointed William R. Given of Columbia, Pa., receiver of the Pennsylvania Traction company, which operates 59 miles of trol- ley railway in Lancaster county. The court fixed Mr. Given’s bond at $30,000, and a certificate for the amount was im- mediately furnished by the Equitable Trust company of this city. Decision Against Broker Chapman. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. — The United States supreme court has dismissed the writ of error in the case of Elvarton R. Chapman, the New York broker charged with violation of the statutes in refusing to answer questions put by the senate Sugar trust investigating committee two years ago. This makes it necessary for Chapman to serve his sentence, at least technically. Governor Morton and Civil Service. ALBANY, Dec. 1.—-The governor has not asked the civil service commisSion to do anything radical in changing their schedule and has never intimated to them that they should place the legislative ap- pointments under civil service.
