RESORT AT LAKE MANAWA IS FLOODED Ilinols Cemtral the Only Line K Which s Not iIn Diffenity on Account of the Ra Mosquito Creek went out of its banks shortly after noon yesterday and flooded the southeastern part of the city, causing | immense damage to the rallroads and de- moralising the train service in and out of Council Blufts, Lake Manawa, as a result of Mosquito creek overflowing its banks, rose several feet and at § o'clock last night the resort was from two to three feet under water. . The Rock Island, Milwaukee and Bur- lington railroads were unable to use their main lines owing to the overflow of Mosquito creek which washed away large soctions of thelr tracks just east of the city. East of the Milwaukee depot on Sixteenth avenue is a lake extending south beyond the Milwaukee roundhouse. There | are several feet of water in the roundhouse and by the middle of the afternoon th: company was ungble to get any of its en- gines out. Near the roundhouse a section of the track %0 feet long was washed away, A provious washout near Neola had rendered the main line of the Mil- whukes useless and its trains were sent out over the Illinols Central. Near the old Chautauqua grounds, the Rock Island suffered a bad washout and owing to the rush of the water from Mosquito creek, was unable to make any repairs as the cars with ballast could not be got near the washout. The local yards of the Burlington from Tenth avenue to Sixteenth avenue were several feet under water and by evening the, switch engines were unable top make | the slightest hendway. The culvert bridge | one and a half miles east of the city was washed out during the affernoon and this offectually put a stop to the road using its main line out of Councll Bluffs. Its Denver trains from the east were run around by Bt. Joseph and the local trafo served by a stub from Belleville, Kan. Manawa Park Flooded. At Manawa the surrounding country was all vnder water and the damage to corn will be great, At the resort the lake rose rapldly during the afternoon and by even- ing the park was under water from one end to the other. Near the main entrance to the resort the water was. three feet deep. The platform round the merry-go- round was under water, as was the ball park. The motor company made no at- tempt to run cars to the lake, as the track from Beventeenth avenue to the Wabash crossing was several feet under water. At the club house of the Council Blufts Rowing association the grounds were under water and Custodian Charles Bherratt, who, with his family, occuples a newly bullt cottage at the rear of the club house, was forced to move as the water poured into the dwelling over the front porch. The water poured over the bulkheads in front of B. Marks' club house, flooding Shady grove and pouring in torrents down the county road into the adjoining flelds,” The damage to crops in the vicinity of Manawa, it is sald, will reach thousands of dollars. The Northwestern was forced to send its tralns out over the tracks of the Illin Central, as its tracks between Council Blufts and Missourl Valley were covered soveral feet deep with mud. The company had a large force of men at work clearing the track, and expected to have its line open before night. Except for the mud which covered it the track was sald to be uninjured. East of Missourl Valley the track of the Northweatern waa reported to be all right, Several of the rallroads notified the im- plement firms and wholesale houses yes- terday afternoon that they would not re- celve any freight today, The morning train on the Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs road ran into deep water when approaching the trans- fer yesterday, and the fire in the engine was put out, The train, however, suc- ceeded In sliding into the depot. Estimates of Damage, Estimates of the damage caused by the flood in Councll Bluffs Wednesday place it as high as $200,000. On every side yester- day were to be seer® evidences of the de- struction caused by the heavy downpour of rain and the overfiowing of Indlan creek. Broadway from Eighth street to beyond tho tracks of the Illinoils Central was a sea of sliimy mud, while the side- walks on each side of the thoroughfare were covered with & deposit of mud and debris, in places over a foot deep. It was not until nearly 11 o'clock in the morning that the motor company suc- ceeded In establishing any sort of a service across the Northwestern tracks. At that time the company succeeded in clearing one track of the mud sufficiently to enable the passage of & motor. Passengers were then transferred between the cars on each #ide of the tracks by means of this motor, and the owners of dray wagons, who had been reaping & go'den harvest by tran porting passengers across the tracks at 25 cents per head the night before and all the morning, until the motor company suc- oceeded in elearing one track, were put out of business. Country Roads Impassable, Bouth avenue, which is one of the main | thoroughtares from the country into the city, is badly washed and in some places there are holes ten feet deep. The thor- | oughtare is impasseble and tarmers who | attempted to enter the city 'by that road yesterday were forced to turn back. A mass of dirt several tons in welght, which was washed from the hill back of | his house, rolled down into the yard of N. J. Swanson's place on Lincoln avenue shortly after midnight Wednesday.

The streets and alleys committes was instructed to frst barricade all dangerous places on the sidewalk and close the bridge over Indian creek where the great amount of debris accumulated. City Engineer Etnyre estimated that it would take between $2500 and $3,000 to clean the streets and temporarily repalr the dirt streets which have been washed out. Cleaning Up the Mud. The Northwestern railroad and the motor company had large forces of men at work all day clearing off the mud on Broadway between Ninth and Twelfth streets. 8o eat was the demand for laborers that th companies were obliged to offer 40 cents an hour, and even at these wages they found it difficult to secure sufficient help. By 4 o'clock in the afternoon the motor company had cleared its tracks sufficlently to be enabled to resume through service between the city and Omaha withe out transferring its passengers at the Northwedtern tracks. Street Supervisor Guittar had a number of men at work, but owing to the increased wages offersd by the railroad and the motor company had considerable difficulty in securing any help at all. As far as possible all the dangerous places where the sidewalks had eaved in were barrl- caded with boards. The bridges at Eighth, Ninth and Tenth streets over Indian creek were closed to trafic and will be kept closed until the debris which mccumulated against them has been removed. Wagon- load after wagonload of planks, brush | wood and other debris which had accumu- lated at the Eighth street bridge were hauled out of the bed of the creek yester- day and carted away. It will také several days to complete this work. The street supervisor also had a force of men digging the mud off the sidewalks on Broadway and by evening the walks were fairly passable. The mud was geraped off into the atreet ang will yet have to be earted away. Pumping Out Basements, Pumps were in great demand yesterday, and so were mon to work them. On Main street each of the implement houses had pumps at work relieving thelr basements of the water which had flowed in from the street or backed up from the sewer. Al- most as many cellars and basements were flooded by the backing of the sewers as by the water flowing In from the streets, This was especlally true on Broadway be- tween First and, Seventh streets. At the .Jarge warehouse bullding of the Groneweg & Bchoentgen company on | Broadway and Ninth street a powerful | steam pump was put to work and by night | the basement had almost been pumped | dry. - The depth of the water In the base- ment of this bullding was eight feet. Mr. Schoentgen estimated the damage done by the flooding of the basement at about $,000,-as considerable stock was stored there. A large section of brick sidewalk in front !of the Baunders and Everett blocks on | Broadway near Eighth strest caved in yes- | terday morning, the brick falling into the cellars. Zaltsman's woodyard, at the cor- ner of Brondway and Hleventh dtreet, is several feet under water and a large quan- tity of cordwood floated away down the | ereek or was carried into the street. Street car service on the Fifth avenue line was practically abandoned beyond Tenth street until vesterday afternoon, when the company finally succeeded in getting its cars through. The company's tracks on Hast Broadway in the vicinity of Frank street are badly undermined. May Solve Old M r Mystery. MARSHALLTOWN, Ia., Aug. 27.—(Spe- olal Telegram.)—Workmen at Glidden un- covered the skeleton of & man in a grave only two feet deep. The remains had been burfed in a half sitting posture. It is be- lleved the skeleton 1s that of Mr. McNell, who was supposed to have been murdered some twenty-five years ago, aa he left Car- roll with quite & sum of money and was never seen alive afterwards.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.~The American boy who tried to escape from the French bark Marechal deGontaut yesterday, alleging that he had been “Shanghaled,” was taken from the vessel this morning by Collector of the Port Btranahan, who had gone out to sea on the revenue cutter Gresham to rescue the boy. The boy is named Hugh Thompson, is 16 years old and is the son of a sallor who ships on a coastwise vessel which plies be- tween Bangor, Me., and points south, After he had been taken In charge by the revenue officers young Thompson said he had not been forcibly taken to the boat, but had gone with the consent of his father. He sald, however, that he thought he was to ship on & coaster and when he found that Marechal de Gontaut was bound for Yokohama and that he would be absent for many months he wanted to return to his home. It was after 8 o'clock last night when Col- lector Btranahan decided to go out after the French bark. He came to this conelusion after the pllot who had been aboard Gon- tgut returned and reported that a boy on the vessel was locked in a closet and kept screaming, saying he had been kidnaped. The collector put to*sea on Gresham im- mediately. r Gresham came up to Marechal de Gon- taut after midnight. Lieutenant Hots- schamer of Gresharh and two of the crew | put off in & small boat and went alongside the Frqnch vessel. The lleutenant shouted to the watch to Jet down & ladd “They didn't appear to und sald Lieutenant Hotzschamer In speaking of the incident afterward, “so I sprang up the chaln plates and got on the deck. Two men stood there talking, but I could not understand them. One of them walved his arms about and ran toward me, but I pushed him to one side and ren down into the hold. I passed'through the galley and into the forecastle. “There were about sixteen bunks there and up forward I saw the boy. He was sleeping. 1 woke him and asked him if he had been kidnaped. He would not say much at first, #o I took him up on deck. There was no resistance by the crew. I then had a ladder lowered and the rest of the party came abonrd." Before the lieutenant boarded the French- men he placed & navy revolver in his hip pocket. The other officers also were armed. Collector Stranahan was in his oficial uni- form and sent at once for Captain Danler. He demanded that the captain show him the ship's articles, He said the name of the boy did not ap- pear on them, and this, he declared, was s violation of the shipping laws. On the ad- vice of his legal adviser he claimed the boy.

DES8 MOINES, 21.—(8peclal Tele- gram.)—The populist s convention wa held today and ticket and platform given out. The ticket will have to go on the bal- lots by petition gince the party has no official standing anll failed to get any votes last year. The attendance at the conven- tion was better than two years ago, as there were seventeen in all present during the day. What they lacked in numbers they made up in enthusiasm and hopeful- ness. J. R. Norman of Albla, who runs a populist newspaper, the only one left in lowa, was the moving epirit pf the con- vention. He called the meeting to order and ex-Congressman Weller was made chalrman, with Herman Rose of Chariton, secretary. The chalrman refrained from making a speech and declared that the woes of the downtrodden laboringman were al- dy so well known that no further is- clisslon 18 needed. Committees were ap- pointed and In the afternoon the following were nominated: Governor, L. H. Weller of Nashua: lleutenant governor, 8. M. Harvey of Des Moines; judge, J. A. Lowen- burg of Ottumwa; raMroad commissioner, Waller McCullagh of Davis City; superin- tendent, Milo Bunce of Stuart. The convention nominated the ticket without contest, but there was a spirited debate over the platform. One faction, headed by Howard Rose of Chariton, de- sired to eliminate the demand for the refer- endum and confine the party's appeal on this line to the initiative. The convention decided to endorse his plank providing for the initiative alone and to use the phrase “Initlative and referen- dum" elsewhere, thus satisfying both sides. The platform says: We endorse the Omaha platform of 1892, We favor the adoption of the iInitiative and referendum in all elections of state and national character. ‘We demand :hat the right to elect both as to who shall hold public effice and what shall be the public policy In government d people and that ive of this right be repeated. recommend that the foregoing be made a part of the national platform at the next national convention. Hits State Falr Hard. The heavy rains of this morning came near bringing the stats fair to an early end. More than three inches of rain fell Iast night at Des Molnes and the rainfall was reported to be seven inches at Osceola and other points south. Much damage was done the raflroads entering Des Moines from the south and west and & number of trains were abandoned entirely. There was a corresponding decrease in attendance at the fair, though the forencon was fairly §00d. Many of the implement exhibits were surrounded by water and before night the major portion of the ground was gov- ered with deep mud. In the afternoon the rain fell again and caused great damage and discomfort. The recelpts of the falr, however, “are now about $0,000, which much more than covers all expenses. ‘Colored People Or A state branch of the Natlonal Afro- American league was formed here today by about twenty-five prominent negroes of the state who had gathered at the call of George H. Woodson, a prominent negre lawyer of Mabaska county. There was some trouble over the formation of com- mittees and the rivaky between factions caused disagreements, but a fairly good working league was formed. The officers selected were: George H, Woodson, Muchakinoc] president, P. C. Parks, Ames; secretary, Miss Lila H. Shefty, Muchakinock; assist- ant secretary, Mrs. H. Warrick, Des Molnes; treasurer, R. H. Hyde, Des Molnes. ‘The league prepared and issued a lengthy address to the people relating to the lynch- L in the south, condemning mobs and expressing confidence In the courts to stamp out mob violence and gen- erally appealing to all for theughtful eon- sideration of all race problems. Severe condemnation of Tillmanism was in- dulged In. TURKS KILL CONSUL (Continued from First Page.) . miral Cotton, should proceed immediately to Beyroot, Syria, to be in readiness to support any demand made by the United States on Turkey on account of the assass- ination of Willlam Magelssen, United Btates vice consul. The president manifested an anxious in- terest {n the announcement of the assassin- ation of Vice Consul Magelssen, the first information concerning which was con- veyed to him by a representative of the Assoclated Press, Shortly afterward he recelved from Aot ing Becretary of State Loomis a telegram communicating to him Minister Lelshman's telegram concerning the murder and advis- ing him of the steps already taken by the State department. The president tonight is in close communication with the depart- ment and will be kept fully advised of the detalls of the incident as they are ascer- tained. For several days President Roo: velt has been following closely the devel- opments of the situation in Turkey. With the country in such a turmell as now pre- vails almost anything is likely to happen. With a view to considering the subject the more carefully, the president and Secre- tary Hay had arranged for a conference tomorrow at Sagamore Hill. The secretary 1s now enroute to Oyster Bay. . Roosevelt and Hay to Confer. At the conference tomorrow the president and Secretary Hay will consider the Turk- ish situation carefully and probably will reach some conclusion as to the attitude of the United States as respecting the late serious phase of the matter. In the ab- sence of definite information concerning the assassination of the vice consul the president will tuke no decided step beyond that already taken in ordering the Eu- ropean squadron to Beyroot. This action is viewed now a4 a precautionary measure. It is the determination of the United States to support its demands upon Turkey for the punishment of the murderer or mur- derers of Consul Magelssen, but until the detalls are known officially and precisely the United States, It is stated, will not take any drastic action. A request that consuls *of the United States be afforded protection for thelr lives and property will be made and the Turkish government will be held responsible for the asssssination of Consul Magelssen, whatever may be the detalls, President Roosevelt is concerned over the situation as It has developed today, be- cause it indicates an intolerable condition of affairs in Turkey. He recalls the fact that only recently a Russlan consul was murdered In Turkey, The European squadron is so situated that it will require several days for it to ren- desvous at Beyroot. Meantime the of- ficlals of the State department will be fully advised by Minister Leishman of the detalls of the crime and the president will then be in a position to present to Turkey the demands of the United States with a naval force on the spot of strength to enforce them adequately. WASHINGTON READY TO ACT No Additional Information Received, but Steps Taken to Support Mintate WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—Mr. Magelssen was 3 years of age. He was educated in the common schools of Minnesota and was a student of the Lutheran college at De- corah, Ia., for thres'years. For a time he was city assessor of Sioux Falls, 8. D., and also assoclate editor of a paper called the Echo, published there. No additional information was obtalned at the Btate department during the day. As yet no request has been made of the Navy department that the European squad- ron be sent to Beyroot and none will until 1t appears that there is a disposition on the part of the Turkish government not to com- ply with the demands of the State depart- ment for the immediate .apprehension and punishment of the murderer and of the local authorities If they were negligent. In the absence of particulars no motive can be ascribed for the crime and the State department officlals have no means of sug- gesting a theory as to why the vice consul should have been killed. There has been no complaint about him or his work and the meager cablegram conveys not the slightest suggestion of a cause for the crime, | Although a copy of the dispatch from Minister Flelschman was sent to the Navy department, no request was made to send the European squadron to the eastern Med- Iterranean but the Navy department, ticlpating that such an emergency might occur, cabled Admiral Cotton to have the squadron in readiness for sailing it it wi deemed necessary. The president was In formed Immediately of the assassination | and of the steps that had been taken by | the Btato department to secure redress, Further details of the crime and ths action of the Turkish government are waited with Interest by all government oMcials.
