Disasters and Damage Caused by the Central Minols Floods, Pronta, Inx., June 20.—Additional partiou- lars of the flood which washed out the Farm creek and Copperas creek valleys on Thursday night verify the first reports of heavy damages. The people on Fon du Lac were completely hemmed in oe angry waters, but yesterday two men from there rowed to the bridge and reached this city. The farmers for five or six miles up river and a mile and a half back to the hills have lost all their crops. In many places the water is yet standing nine feet deep over corn fio}’s. Jong the Toledo, Peoria and Western road is a terrible scenoof wreckage. Household furni- ture of people in Farmdale and Hilton was all washed away. China, baby carriages, wagon dead cattle, pianos, tubles and fences are pile ten feet high against the railroad trestle. ‘The iron bridge, 300 fect long, over Ten Mile creck, just completed, was washed away and has not yet been located. In Fond du Lae township where two big brick yards stood Thursday there is now ten fect of water. ‘The loss of crops, live stock and gardens will be enormous.

It fs Belleved That 40,000 Persons Will See the Race. Cnicaco, June 20.—If the local signal officer's prediction of clear weather is fulfilled 40,000 people will see the American derby decided at Washington Park about 4 o'clock this afternoon. Eleven three-yeur-olds aro to contest for the classic western turf event, and the probable starters compose a field that wili compare favorable with any that has faced the starter since the race was firss won by Corri- = speedy little filly Modesty on June 28, i Owing to the closing of the pool rooms by Mayor Washburne at the beginning of his ad- ministration there is no advance betting, ex- cept where books are made “‘on the quiet” in hotel bed rooms or in secluded apartments connected with sporting resorts, It is not, therefore, "possible | to say as to what odds the horses will go to the post. Public opinion, however, seems to be that Kingman as had the best of it, although Strathmeath on past record would seem to be the most dangerous. Besides he is carrying — sev ands less than the Glengary colt and on a eavy track this should bean important con- cession, Garrison has been brought here to ride Snow Bail, and this is taken to mean that the stable believe he is in it, A quiet tip is out on Lodowic also, but his trainer does not seem to think highly of the colt’s chances. Vallera and Hesrara also have their admirers, and the former, expecially, will go to ‘the post strongly backed. ‘Turf prophets are inclined to give the race to Strathineath, Kingman or Vallera, but the derby has before been won by outsiders, and there would be nothing aston- ishing if the number of Forerunner, Balgowan, High Tariff, Poet Scout or Michuelshould go up as the winner this afternoon. All the horses have taken kindly to their work, and most have qade a derby distance on trial ‘trips in fairly g9od time, considering the condition of the track, which is slow and heavy. ESS GIANTS OF THE RING. Sullivan's Backers Deposit 81,000 for a Match With Slavin. New Yorx, June 20.—Shortly before mid- night last night Jimmy Wakely and Charley Johnston, who had received dispatches from John L.

I have represented her in the act of stepping from her throne because the action gives greater play of line and movement, and she wears hor crown because it was in the character of queen that she befriended Colum- bus. She wears a side girdle, and on her breast is the ornamented cross which we see in all her portraits. I shail soon now be leaving Rome, taking Isabella with me, of course, and aftera little stay in England shall sot sail and be with you in the early autumn. I will add that I atm very well pleased with the model, and to those who Would like to see it done’ better 1 will say let them try. Here is one of the inscriptions I have se- lected: The great Isabella, to whom Castile owed Granada and the Indies and history; the fair- est model of a wife, a mother and a queen, Yes, i hear that Isabella has had some hard knocks.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market. The for the opening and ci the Kew York tite to Coreen and Meeeniny A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK. Mr. Henry Clews, in his Werkly Financial Review, issued today, says: “The most signifi- cant event of the week was the reduction of the Bank of England rate of discount from 4 to 3 per cent. For months past London has been the objective point of interest, the storm center, 80 to speak, of the financial world, and the clouds of distrust which had gathered in from ull parts of the world threatened to burst with renewed fury over those intrepid racers on the sea of finance who had been carrying an over- press of sail in South American waters. The danger signal, however, hes been lowered, the outlook is brighter, and now that suspense is relieved improvement should naturally follow. “Coincident with the removal of fears about the foreign monetary situation, the home out- look has also cleared and proves more assuring. ‘The treasury is expected to meet all obligations this fall; so that uneasiness on that score is set at rest. The western bank reserves are larger than usual, and each year the west grows more independent of eastern aid. ‘Then, too, the money now in circulation in the United States stands at about 31,504,000,000, a larger sum than ever before at this season and larger, also, than at the times of heaviest crop demands. Further evidence of confidence in the future of money is shown by freer offerings of time money, extending from sixty days to eight mont “The wheat and corn crops are far the most important of any single influence affecting the future of stocks. Indications suggest the pos- sibility of the largest wheat crop on record. cstimates varying from 500,000,000 to 520,000,000 bushels. These figures should leave a surplus of about 180,000,000 to 200,000,000 bushels for export. If prices only afford a reasonable profit to growers, and the shortage in Europe renders it likely that they will, it is easy to see the effect of such a harvest, not only upon the interior, but upon the trade, railrond and financial interests of the whole country. Eu- rope will have to take our wheat and pay usin pola. Our securities will become intrinsically etter in the opinion of both home and fore: holders. In snort, should present hopes cerning the harvest be reulized, it would part a degree of prosperity has not been seen for severai years past. Our opinion regarding the immediate future is hopefal and favorable toa moderate improvement in the business conditions. Comfortable money, mod- erate prices for stocks and godd crops are sufti- cient to counterbalance all the weak points dis- coverable at this time. — Washington Stock Exchange, Sales—Regular call—12 o'clock m: D.

Sunday will be literally @ Sabbath at Chau- tauqua and the gates will be clqsed, giving the residents the advantage of a quiet day, free from the crowd which would naturally come from the city. All the history and traditions of the Chautauqua movement are in favor of the Position which the management takes in this matter, and at all the other assemblies the gates are closed on Saturday night and not opened again until Monday morning except to accom- modate cases of emergency. It would be a serious offense against the proprietice of what might be termed assembiy courtesy for the Glen Echo Chautauqua, bearing as it does tho name of the parent institation, to set aside this principle and open ite gates and Dbbath dag. The transact ite business on the ws of the state of Maryland are very rigid in the matter of Sabbath cbaefvances so it would not be in keeping with the general character Of the axsembir to put itself in conflict with the laws of the state.
