The rafiroad officials labored all day at- tempting to save the grade and In eddl-. tion to a large force of men brought th by train, employed all the local laborers who could be secured. Thousands of bags of san§ and tonis of rock were used, but as the waters continued to rise it was seen toward evening that the only way to ren- der the track passable was to provide some outlet for the water. The plledriver was | préssed nto service and instead of at- tempting to hold the water In check it wias given free vent through the grade to thé river and the company officlaly pro- ceeded to'the construction of & temporary pile bridge on which the track will be lald as soon as completed. With the cutting of the grade the water commenced to recede slowly, but thers is #uch an immense volume of it spread out over the lowlands that it will be some time Before any considerable relief will be ex- Perfenced. The company officials in charge of the work estimated late this evening that they would have repairs completed and the track in condition for trains to pass by 1 or 2 o'clock Baturday morning. All traina from the west were held here today in hopes that the track would soon bo made passable. When it was seen that this would require considerable more time Ahe trains from the west were sent back to Columbus and from there took the B. & M., going east by way of Lincoln.

The Northwestern has opened its Chicago line and has been running its trains on schedule time ever sincé Friday morning. The Rock Island and Milwaukes both are getting in better shape and either one of ‘the lines can use the other's track to Neola, as the lines are well fitted to change track for that dis- tance. The Northwestern line between Fremont and Omaha is also reported: as being almost repaired and the Black Hills train Friday afternoon used the track for the first time In two days. More washouta were reported in Ne- braska Thursday night. The Unlon P cific suffered from a minor overflow at Schuyler and all of the trains from the west were sent around by the B. & M. Papplo creek got on a rampage down near Bellevue and overflowed, causing a great deal of damage to the B, & M. and the Missouri Pacific. The B. & M. had a quarter of a mile of track washed out at Bellevue and the *Y" damaged by the water. The Paplllfon branch was also damaged by several washouts. On . the Missourt Pacific tfe Papplo caught the track at Fort Crook and at Beymour Lake and washed out short stretches of .the track. All.of the Missourl Pacific trains consequently were detoured over the Unfon Pacific by way of Papillion, Wabash Gets Out. The Wabash had some trouble Thursday night with high water near Malvern and Blanchard and did not run their 8t. Louls train out of Omaha until yesterday." The water did not cause any particular damage amd service has been resumed. Superintendent Bignell of the B. & M. was in the city for a few minutes Friday morning while on his way to Bellevue to superintend the repair work thefe. “The damage on the Chfeago, Burlihgton & Quincy,” he said, “must have béen' pretty bad. T understand there were washouts ‘all along the line between Creston and Council Bluffs and a bad one at Creston. How soon 1t will be repaired I have not heard. Mean- while all of the trains to the east aré being sent via 8t. Joseph. Down at Beflevue the Papto has been doing great things. It s a mile wide 2nd the highest that it has ever been known.

Minister Leishman explains that the érror occurred in deciphering a felegram re- célved :from Consul Ravendal, at. Beyroot, conéerning the attempt on the life of the vice consul. The text of the message Is not made public here. It can be said that ‘the putposé bt 'Président Rbosevélt is' to Afford Amevican citizens in the disturbed 2ravinges of Turkey all. the, protection pos- sible. For that reason and. far.others that, may ' develop the decision s reached | that no change will be made at this time in the orders to the European squadron.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—In résponse ‘to a telegram of inquiry regarding -the réported sssassination of Vice Consul Magelssen at Beyroot, Syria, Mr. Fryer, tfeasurer of the Board of Presbyterian Missions at Beyroot, has cabled to the Assoclated Press as follows: BEYROOQT, Syria, Aug. 28.—Although the attack made on Vice Consul Magelssen was evidently premeditated, the builets missed him and he escaped uninjured. (Blgned) FREYER. No ‘Change by Missionaries. BOSTON, Aug. 28.—Rev. James L. Bar- ton, D, D., secretary of the American Board of Missions, was tonight shown the Asso- clated Eress bulletin from Constantinople stating that Vice Consul Magelssen at Bey- root had not been assassinated as reported, and was asked if this fact would make any change In the attitude of the Ameri- can board. Secretary Barton replied that it would not, as all statements the board had made and all representations, to our government regarding matters. in Turkey had besn made before the board received word of Mr. Magelssen's assassination. Since then it had no conference whatever with the State department, Rel d Missionary Talks. MONTROSE, Pa., Aug. %.—Dr. H. H. Jessup, who recently returned from HBey- root, Turkey, in speaking today of the at- tempted assassination of Vice' Consul Magelssen said there is no evidence of any popular uprising in Beyroot gainst. either Christian forelgners or Americans. There is no opecal hostility to America in Syria, not even among Mohammedans, the lead- ing Mohammedans of Beyroot belng among our best friends. He said: 1 received today a letter from a proml- nent Mohammedan in Beyroot cengratu- Jatinig me on the fact that my son is solns Lo preach the gospel In Perala, although he sald he' would prefer that 'he come to 8yria. The murderous attack on Mr. agelssen, 50 far as 1 can judge, is not from any 'popular ing, but the work of some’ individual, acting either through persanal revenge, or hired to do the deed ¥ some unknown persons. Our consuls are structed to protect American citisen: Consul Ravendal ‘and his brother-in-law, Vice Consul Magelssen, were most active in securing the rights of every Syrian .who brought proofs of his American citizenship. There were frequent cases of defendin Syrlan Americans. in almost all-of whic Magelssen had been prominent, -and may have awakened the personai hos- y_of certaln persons who hired ihe man to shoot him. root thy killin rehend amy rlsing in Syria on account of the Mo- hammendan insurrection. The visit of the American fleet will have a most wholesome effect, and it would be well if an Ameri- can ship could be stationed on the Byrian coast. The . American midsionaries and professors of the Protestant college in Bey- root have always taught the people loyalty to their soverelgn and obedience to the laws and the Americans residing in Turkey have aimost without excaption been regarded by the government and people as pursulng legitimate peaceful avocations and desiring only the good of the people. Family Rel » and Thanksgiving. LA CROSSE, Wis, Aug. 23.—News that Vice Consul Magelssen was alive and un- trijured was conveyed to the famlily of the vice consul's brother, the Rev. H. G.

Lee, for- mer lleutenant governor and editor of the Interstate Grocer; I. N. Page, editor of the Bonne Terre Star, and R. B. Speed, editor of the Nevada Mall.

Soon after the experts gave up hopes of launching the aerodrome to- day and returned to Clifton Beach a storm broke furioysly. The houschoat slipped its moorings and traveled rapidly down stream for two miles, where its anchors caught In the mud bottom. A few men were on the boat, but they were powerless and the stream was too swift for assist- anee to be afforded by the tugs. The small steam launch tender, the float and three rowhoats were lost. They were sought by the tugs unsuccessfully and the search will be resumed Saturday. The houseboat is now pearer the Virginia shore, where it will remain until after the experiment. Before the storm Prof. Langley sald a test would be made Saturday if the weather permitted. The flying machine was so shaken up that the launching may be post- poned for repairs. The machine was already to fly this afternoon, when the breeze stiffened to ten miles an hour and the ex- periment was abandoned.

SEGREGATE INTERNAL REVENUE CASH Seeret Be y Shaw Ado| Able Government Depositories When Needed, to Place Money WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.~It was said to- day at the State department that Minister Conger had been instructed that he should not be a consenting party to the surrender of the six Chinese suspects arrested at Shanghai, and put on trial before the mixed court of the settiement, and of whom the consular body of Shanghal refused to sur- rendér on the demand of the Chinese gov- ernment for punishment according to Chi- néso custom. Minister Conger was in- structed to take the ground that the ju- diclal proceedure which was adopted un- der o formal greement with the taotal of Shanghal should be carried out with ap- propriate punishment in thé settlement in case of conviction. This government, it was stated today, has never departed from its original position in the matter and never has had any intention of giving up these men, Segregate Internal Revenue Recelpts, The published statement that Secretary Shaw had decided that under existing laws he was authorized to segregate government recelpts from internal revenue sources and deposit the same at his discretion In na- tional bank depositories, does not raise a new question, although such deposits as have been made heretofore had not been previously covered into the treasury. As early as 1878, it Is sald, the courts of the United States held in effect that natlonal bank degositories are parts of the treasury of the United States, so far as their au- thority to hold public deposits is concerned. The secretary, so far as cen be learned, has not determined on the deposit of any further funds with national banks, but has decided that it is well within his proviace to make stich deposits. With a view of meeting any money difficulties hereafter he has segregated the internal revenue re- celpts from other receipts and has opened a separate account in the treasury ledger 80 that in case of need he may know just what amounts are avalluble for the pur- pose.

Today's movements consisted of a fierce engagement during which a landing party of 1,800 men under Rear Admiral Coghlan captured all the stations.and defenses of the Scape and Spurwin. These marines and jackles landed almost at dawn and were engaged until after- noon, when they returned to the fleet, which Fad remained off Richmond's Island all day. Rear Admiral Coghlan believed he had achieved the, grandest victory of the navy, but at 3:45 Lieutenant Jordan, in command of the engineer corps at the Two Lights, was informed by telephone that the umpires had decided that no landing was eftected by the invaders, as the men and boats had been put out of acjlon before the landing was attempted. Therefore, the capture of all the points on the cape in- ding the signal, searchlight and fire con- trol stations. at Two Lights, the defenses at Silver Springs, and the searchlight at Pond Cove was void and they stand as if no attempt had been made at their cap- ture. This left thé jmmense saerchlights in action for a demonstration tonight. Re- ports that the invaders were marching upon the forts and the city prevailed, but it such had been the intention it was not car- rled out, the men returning to the ships at 8:45.
