2 THE which could not fail, however impurlcctly!possibly do so crowded to the plnuoxm‘ treated, to interest you. You regard with just pride the part which the Judges and writers of the United States have played in the development of interna- tional law. Story, Kent, Marshall, Wheaton, Dana, Woolsey, Halleck and Wharton, 8moNg others, compare not unfavorably with u_xe workers of any age in this province of juris- prudence. International law, then, is my subject. The H necessities of my position restrict me to. at 6st, & cursory and perfunctory treatment; of it. propose briefly to consider what is inter- national; s+ sources; the standard—the ethical standard—to which it ought to. con- form; the characteristics of its modern tend- encies and developments, and tien to add some, I think, needful words ou the question, arbitr: 5 I cal ich ci zed nations have agreed shall bind them in their conduct interse by the Benthamite title, “International Law.” Upon the subject of arbitration the Lord Chief Justice continued: it is obvious, therefore, that the sentiment eace and in favor of arbitration as the »r wer is growing apace.

But are we thence to conclude that the millen- nium of peace has arrived—that the dove has returned to the ark, sure sign that the waters of international strife have permanently sub- sided? 1 am not sanguine enough to lay this flatter- ing unction to my soul. Unbridled ambition— thirst for wide dominion—pride of power still hold sway, although I believe with lessened force and in some sort under the restraint of the healthier opinion of the world. Baut further, friend as I am of Peace, I would that there may be even greater ca- han war—the dishonor of & nation, nph of an uprighteous cause, the per- tuation of hopeless and debasing tyranny: War is honorable, In those who do their native rights maintain; | Tn those whose swords an iron barrier are, | Between the lawless spoiler and the weaks But 15, in those who draw the offensive blade For added power or gain, sordid and despicable. In conclusion Lord Russell said: Mr. President, Icome to an end. 1have but touched the fringe of 'a great subject. No one can doubt that sound and well-defined rules | of international law conduce to the progress | of civilization and help to ensure the peace of | the world. In dealing with the subject of arbitration, I have thought it right to sound & note of csu- tion, but it would, indeed, be a reproach to our nineteen centuries of Christian civilization, if | there were now no better method for settling international differences than the cruel and debasing methods of war. May we not hope that the people of these States and the people | of the Motherland—kindred peoples—may, in | this matter, set an example of lasting influ- | ence to the world? We boast of our advance and often look back with pitying contempt on the ways and man- | ners of generations goneby. Are we ourselves | without reproach? Has our civilization borne, | tbe true marks? Must it not be said, as has | been said of religion itself, that countless | crimes have been committed in its name? | Probably it was inevitable that the weaker | races should, in the ena, succumb, but have | we always treated them with consideration and with justice? Has not civilization too often been presented to them at the point of the bayonet and the Bible by the hand of the filibuster? And apart from the races we deem barbarous is ot the passion for dominion and wealth and power accountable for the worst chapters of cruelty and oppression written in the world’s history? Few people—perhaps none— are free from thisreproach. What. indeed is true aivilization? By its fruits you shall know it. It is not dominion, wealth, material lux- ury; nay, not even a great literature and edu- cation widespread—good though these things be. Civilization is not a veneer; it must pen- etrate to the very heart and core of societies of men. Its true signs are thought for the poor and suffering, chivalrous regard and respect for woman, the frank recognition of human brotherhood, irrespective of race or color or nation or religion, the love of ordered freedom, abhorrence of what is mean and cruel and vile, ceaseless devotion to the claims of justice. Civilization in that, its true, its highest sense, must make for peace. We have solid grounds for faith in the future. Government is becom- ing more and more, but in no narrow class sense, government of the people by the people and for the people. Populations are no longer moved and maneuvred as the arbitrary will or restiess ambition or caprice of kings or poteniates may dictate. And although democracy is sub- ject o violent gusts of passion and prejudice, they are gusts only. The abiding sentiment of the masses is for peace—for peace to live in- dustrious lives and to be at rest with all man- kind. With the prophet of old they feel— though the feeling may find no srticulate utter- ance—“now beautifulupon the mountains aro the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace.” Mr. President, I began by speaking of the iwo great divisions—American and British—of that English-speaking world which you and I represent to-day, and with one more reference to them I end. Who can doubt the influence they possess for insuring the healthy progress and the peace of mankind? But if this influence s to be fully felt they must work together in cor- dial friendship, each people in its own sphere of action. If they have great vower, they have also great responsibility. No canse they espouse can fail; no cause they oppose can triumph. The fature is, in large part, theire. They have the making of history in the times thatare to come. The greatest calamity that could befall would be strife which should divide them. Let us pray that this shall never be. Let us pray that they, always self-respecting, each 1n honor upholding its own flag, safeguarding its own heritage of right and respecting the rights of others, each in its own way fulfilling its high natfonsl destiny, shall yet work in harmony for the progress and the peace of the world. Lord Russell concluded his address at 12:150'clock. As he closed the audience vigorously applauded, and then, by way of emphasizing its approval of Lord Rus- sell’s remarks, rose to 1ts feet and cheered jor several minutes. An informal recess was taken, during which all who could | | the main favored appeals in criminal | City. | tension oz s and clasped the hand of Lord Russell. When order was restored Edward J. Phelps of Vermont moved that the thanks of the association be presented to Lord Russell for the eloquent address of his lordship which they had had the pleas- ure of hearing. This was seconded by James Carter of New York and carried. General E. E. Bullard of New York offered th_e following, which was carried unani- mousiy: Resolved, That the American Bar Association concur with the principles enurciated in the eloquent address of Lord Chief Justice Russell. | Be it further Resolved, That ii be referred to the commit- tes on international law to recommend such further cause of international arbitration. During this time Lord Russell and his party retired from the hall. The routine business of the association was taken up. The first of the routine business was the report of the committee on jurisprudence and law reform, of which Senator Gray of Delaware is chairman. He reported prog- ress and asked further time. Robert D. Benedict of New York, chair- man of the committee on judicial admin- istration and remedial procedure, pre- sented a very voluminous report, which in cases. The report was adopted. The report on international law was made through the chairman of the com- mittee, Everett P. Wheeler of New York It recommended that the American Bar Association concur in the resolutions adopted by the American conference on international arbitration at Washington in April which favored the immediate es- iablishment between the United States ! and Great Britain of a permanent system of arbitration and the earliest possible ex- of such a system to embrace all civilized nations. These resolutions were most ably seconded by Hon., Henry Hitcheock of Missouri and unanimously carried. The fact that Montague Crackanthrope was to read a paper on *‘The Uses of Legal Testi- mony'’ was sufficient to bring out a large crowd at the evening session. Mr. Crack- anthrope was accorded a generous ovation when he was introduced by President Moorfield Storey of Boston. At the close of the address the reports of the special commitiees were received. e LEGAL EDUCAUION, Some Interesting Papers Read During the Session. SARATOGA, N. Y., Aug. 20.—The ses- sion on legal education held at 3 o’clock this afternoon was well attended. The first paper was by J. Randolph Tucker of ‘Washington and Lee University on “Best | Training for the American Bar of the Future.” Professor James Colby of Dartmouth College spoke on “The Collegiate Study/of | Law.” At the conclusion of the reading of the papers, Chairman McClain invited Mr. Crackanthorpe of England, a member of the English Council of Legal Education, | to say a word. Mr. Crackanthorpe spoke | briefly of the English Council of Legal Education, which he said has done much | toward the education of English lawyers. 1 8ir Frank Lockwood of England re- | sponded to calls for a few remarks in a | very happy way. Attorney-General Har- | mon, Henry Hitcheock of St. Louis, A. G. Fox of New York, General Warrell of Chicago, E. H. G. Ingersoll of Tennessee, Professor Sharp of Baltimore and others also took part in the debate. A resolution was adopted providing | that the secretary should recommend a certain standard to be followed by the law schools, and that such school as failed to come up to the requirement so recom- mended should be discountenanced. The session, after electing Edward J. Phelps of Vermont chairman and Pro- fessor George M. Sharp of Baltimore sec- | retary for the ensuing year, adjourned un- | til 3:30 o’clock to-morrow afternoon. ACCIDENT 1N A DRYDOCK The Steamship PLeeiicia Al most Capsized While Being Repaired. oN But for the Strength of the Docke Gates Many Lives Would Have Been Lost. | NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 20.—The big drydock at Erie Basin, with the Hamburg- American steamship Pheenicia in it, set- | tled two feet last night from causeés that | have not been explained. The Pheenicig is a bLig twin-screw freighter and immi- grant carrier. She had been docked for ! painting and for the readjustment of her propeller blades. At 8:30 o’clock fifty machinists and as- sistants were at work about the stern of | the ship removing one of the propellers. Without apparent cause and without warning the forward end of the dock gave a lurch and settled two feet. There was danger that the dock gates might give way. The accident at the Brooklyn navy-yard was fresh in the minds of the workmen, and they fled for their lives, clambering helter-skelter up the step-like sides of tha dock. The gates creaked and groaned, but beld fast. Then they were opened, and the dock was flooded. It was found that the Pheenicla was stuck fast. All efforts to float her were without success. The dock apparently sank a little further along toward the inner end. It will prob- ably be necessary to take out the blocks from under the steamer. Captain Lethauper of the Pheenicia was seen aboard his ship. “The accident,” ssid he, “was caused either by the keel blocks of the dock slipping out of place or they were not strong enough to supporta vessel of such weight as this. “There was a great amount of excite- ment at the time the thing occurred, and certainly we had a narrow escape. *If the side shores had not held the ves- sel would surely have capsized.

CUTLINES FUTURE MCVEMENTS | Upon Starting Westward He Will Not Stop Until He Arrives at Lincoln. UPPER RED HOOK, N. Y., Aug. 20.— William Jennings Bryan threw down the gauntlet to-day to Major McKinley. It was a dignified challenge, for in it he re- fused to discuss the issues of the campaign with any person except the one who stands his equal in office-seeking ambition. He was asked if he intended to answer Mr. Cockran, and said in answer that he was receiving many invitations from prominent men to debate the silver ques- tion. In order to avoid further invita- tions of this nature, he said, he would not consider any proposition to debate any question with anybody during the campaign unless a debate should be ar- ranged between Mr. McKinley and him- | self, and he added that so far as he knew no plan for such a debate was under con- sideration by either of the National com- mittees. Ex-State Senator Norton Chase and Internal Revenue Collector Louis W. Pratt were here this afternoon to make arrangements for the Albany speech of Tuesday night next, Mr. Bryan gave out another itenerary this morning. It contained a prozramme of his movements from Erie to Lincoln, and was dictated in this way by the can- ditate: “Leave Erie for Buffalo on Thursday, August 20, where I will speak in the even- ing; from Buffalo go to Medina, where I | will speak Friday afternoon; thence to Niagara Falls, where I will spend the | night.”’ “Leave Niagara Falls on Saturday morn- ine, through Buffalo for Hornelisville, where 1 will speak in the afternoon, thence to Jamestown in the evening, and going to Chautauqua for Sunday. On Monday morning I will leave Chautauqua for Cleveland, speaking there in the even- ing on Monday, the 31st. “From there to Columbus, Ohio, where I will epeak on the evening of September 1. Thence to Toledo, Ohio, where I will speak on the evening of the 2d, thence to South Bend, where I will speak on the evening of the 3d. “The 4th will be spent at Chicago at Democratic National headquarters, and go to Nebraska over the Burlington route, arriving in Lincoln on the 5th. I will not stop at any point between Chicago and Lincoln.” Hon. Elliott Danforth, who presided at the Madison-square Garden meeling, came over to Upper Red Hook last night on hig way to Albany and had a talk with the nominee. Mr.. Bryan says the visit had no political significance. This morning & son of James W. Hinck- ley, chairman of the Democratic commit- mittee, who was one of the gold leaders at Chicago, called on Mr. Bryan and ex- tended an invitation on beball of his father to visit Winnisook Lodge on Sledge jured or not, but I do not think she has. ghe‘h,u made no water.

HAMILTON, Mass., Aug. 20.—An en- tire absence from ostentation character- 1zed the funeral of Miss Mary Abieail Dodge (Gail Hamilton), which was held from her late home in this town at'3 o’clock this afternoon. The services were conducted by Rev. J. G. Nichols, pastor of the Hamilton Congregational Church. The burial was private and was in the Hamilton Cemetery. foae o ST The Veterans’ Union. BINGHAMPTON, N. Y., Aug. 20.—The Veterans’ Union in executive session to- day decided to hold next year’s conven- tion at Springfield, Obio. At this morn- ing’s meeting of the Woman’s Relief Union the reports of officers were read. The annual election of officers resulted as follows: National president, Mrs. Hor- Mountain in the Catskills. Winnisook Lodge is the summer home of a number of Democratic State politi- cians, and Mr. Bryan promised to spend a night there this week. Another invitation came from C. L. Rickerson. He wanted Mr. Bryan to visit Santa Cruz Lodge in the Catskills, but the nominee was obliged to decline. Mr. Bryan will speak at Tivols, in this county, Saturday night, 70 FOUND A4 LIQUOE TRUST, Wholesale Dealers in Whisky Combine to Controt Prices. NEW YORK, N.Y., Aug. 20.—A meet- ing of wholesale liquor-dealers will be held to-day to take steps toward the formation of a new National organization, which may possibly in the future exercise a control- ling interest in the distilled liquor trade. A circular was sent out in July by P. W. Engs & Sons, in which the suggestion was tense White, Tremont, Ohio; chaplain, Mrs, S, F. Beecher, Connecticut. made that a convention of wholesale liquor- dealers be called, where the existing evils in the trade may be discussed and remedies vroposed. The formation of a new Na- tional association of liquor-dealers was advised, The circular was sent to prominent and representative wholesale dealers through- out the country, and a general and prompt response was received. Some of those ad- dressed declined to enter into the scheme, but the majority approvea of it. E. L. Snyder, head of the firm of P. W. Engs & Sons, saia yesterday that the movement was not destined to be hostile to the distillers, although no dis- tiller for the present will be permitted to enter the association. Snyder said the American hquor trade was suffering just now from a variety of causes, chief of which was the overproduction of whisky by distillers. Another cause of the trouble was the wild and irresponsible speculation in whisky. It is now proposed to secure the con- tinuous and permanent regulation of the output of whisky, so that it shall con- form to the legitimatedemand and wholly do away with speculation on the part of outsiders. The name pr?o.ed for the new organi- zation is the National Wholesale Liguor Dealers’ Association. 'The convention will ba held in the Chamber of Commerce at Cleveland, Ohio, August 31. o e s CHURCH UNION CONFERENCE. Work of the Young People’s Union of North America. OMAHA, NeBr., Aug. 20.—The eighth annual convention of the Young People’s Union of the United Presbyterian Church of North America opened formally here this morning, with an attendance of 3000.

COLUMBUS, Onmo, Aug. 20.—A side- walk discussion of the free coinage of the silver question here this evening led to a tragedy. Joseph Rath, a retired manu- facturer, and Horace Weyman, an Eng- lishman engaged in literary pursuits, en- gaged 1n a very animated debate. Finally they separated, Weyman thinking little of ?'z. but Rath secured & revolver, and when Weyman came back, fired three shots at him, one striking him in the right arm and shattering the bone. Rath was arrested. Weyman is a cousin of Stanley Weyman, the novelist. RN Samuel Smith for Congress.

Condemn Examiner Strictures on Judge Dorn and Treasurer Hartnell as Scurrilous. SALINAS, CaL., Aug. 20.—An editorial in to-day’s San Francisco Examiner severely criticising Judge Dorn of this county and referring to our County Treasurer as an embezzler against whom several indictments bad already been found has been the subject of conversa- tion generally on our streets since the Examiner reached here. The article is condemned by every one as scurrilous. U. Hartnell, our Treasurer, has occupied the position for over twelve years and there is not a more honorable or more upright gentleman in our county. No suspicion of any kind has ever been directed to him and no tndiezgont of any kind made agairst him, nor has he ever been under isnvasu tion. He is widel; known over the State, and deeply feels the unwarranted and libelous es made against him by the Examiner. Judge Dorn rendered a decision recently, sitting as Judge of the Buperior Court o! San Benito County, holding that the Grand Jury of that county had been iliegally impaneled, but he had nothing to do with impaneling the Grand J nor any- thing else in connection with it until called there to hear a motion to quash an indictment made by the Grand Jury; in fact, not a single statement of fact made by the Examiner is true. The decision made by Judge Dorn is supported by a long line ‘of authorities of this State and other States, and the Ex- aminer’s criticism of his conduct is en- tirely unwarranted. Such attacks as these egainst upright and honest citizens and public officials are too common, and in this particglar in- stance the attack is entirel m?nlfifllbla .m:glnly.ytt cause the Examiner some rouble, MICHIGAN'S VOTE T0 BE ALL RIGHT. General Trowbridge Brings Good News to the Leaders. REPUBLICANS WILL WIN. McKinley and Hobart Now Have the Support of Sober Thinkers. IOWA ALSO IN THE COLUMN. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Hu'l Says a Majo:ity of Fifty Thcusand May B: Expected.’ NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 20.—Among the callers at Republican National head- quarters during the afternoon was General I. 8. Trowbridge of Detroit, ex-Collector of Internal Revenue. - “The Michigan electoral vote,” he said, “will certainly be cast for McKinley and Hobart. The sober second thought that has come after studying the silver ques- tion has brought our farmers, such as were affected by the craze, I mean, to their senses.” Hon. John A. T. Hull, ex-Lieutenant- Governor of Iowa, now Representative in Congress from the Des Moines district, came over from Washington to confer with the executive committee. Mr. Hull, speaking of the outlook in Towa, said that the campaign proper is just about to open in Iowa. “Right after Mr. Bryan’s nomination,” he said, ‘‘there were signs of considerable silver sentiment, especially among the farmers of the interior, but I am assured that what there was has waned consider- ably and is daily becoming weaker. ~I shall be disappointed if we do not have 50,000 majority over the combined opposition and elect the entire Congres- sional delegation of eleven members.” Colonel Charles W. Fuller of Bayonne, N.J., who was another caller at head- quarters, said that the Republican cam- paign was being prosecuted vigorously in bhis State, —_———— LETTERS FROM LEADERS. How Republicans Will Fulfill the Pledge and Promote Bimetallism. CINCINNATI, Ono, Aug. 20.—The Cin- cinnati Post publishes to-day special let- ters from Senators Sherman, Lodge, Thurston, General C. H. Grosvenor, Con- gressm an Bartholdt and others as tohow the Republicans will falfill their party pledge to promote international bimet- allism. Mr. Sherman writes: “I do not think it advisable to prophesy for'the future, based upon contingencies that I don’t know will happen,” Mr. Lodge advocates a compact through the regular forms of diplomatic negotia- tion. Mr. Thurston wants a monetary confer- ence convened. General Grosvenor proposes that the President himself, upon the very thres- hold of his administration, should in diplomatic but most earnest language suggest to the great nations of the earth the vpropriety of such an adjustment of the relative values between gold and silver money, and that Congres should pass an act authorizing the Presi- dent to appoint a commission to draft and submit to the great financial nations a plan for & bimetallic agreement and call upon those nations to respond by the ap- pointment of a like commission. SRER SRR .ALL CAUSED BY POLITICS. Thurber Ihe Law Firm of Dickinson, and Stevenson Dissolved. DETROIT, Micn., Aug. 20.—The law firm of Dickinson, Thurber & Stevenson, which is comprised of Hon. Don M. Dick- inson, Henry T. Thurber, private secretary to President Clevelana and Elliott G. Stevenson, late chairman of the Demo- cratic State Central Committee, has dis- solved on account of political differences, which have arisen between Messrs. Dick- inson and Stevenson since the Chicago convention. In the Chicago convention Mr. Steven- son posed as the mouthpiece of Mr. Dick- inson, who represented the administra- tion. Stevenson was chairman of the Michigan delegation and also chairman of the State Central Committee. He declared he would resign from the latter position, not on account of the platform, but be- cause of the treatment of the Michigan delegation in the convention. Mr. Stevenson did resign, but his resig- .nation was not accepted, which was con- sidered purely a personal victory rather than one for goid or the administration. Later Mr. Stevenson resi;nad again and made way for Fred Al Baker, a rabid silver advocate, retaining a vplace in the committee, however. Mr. Stevenson has been taking an active part in the cam- paign in the interest of Bryan and Sewall. This action on the part of Stevenson so incensed Mr. Dickinson that the relations between the members of the firm became greatly strained. Articles of dissolution of the firm were signed Saturday. Mr. Thurber will re- main with Dickinson. This law firm probably had a larger revenue than any other similar firm in the State. Mr. Ste- venson, besides being one of the most con- spicuous Democrats in Michigan, is con- sidered a lawyer of greal ability. He came here from Port Huron a few years ago to become the junior partner of the firm and immediately took high rank among De- troit lawyers. e g MAJOR MoKINLEY'S LETTER. It Wil Be Complete Upon the Tariff and Money Questions. CANTON, Omio, Aug. 20.—Major Me- Kinley worked on the last proofs of his letter of acceptance most of the day. The letter will contain several thousand words and will be very explicit on the money question, but the tariff will not in any way be neglected. This evening he gave some time to the consideration of the speech which he is to make to the citizens of Ellwood and Newcastle, Pa., who are to call upon him Saturday. A dispatch re- ceived to-night says there will be between 1500 and 1800 in the party. Major McKinley will be kept busy with speechmaking from this time on. Mon. day he will make two speeches. A dele- gation of farmers from Pennsylvania and Maryland is announced for the middle of September and an excursion equally as large is expected from Baltimore. Hon. R. C. Kerens of St. Louis has been asked by a large number of railroad em- ployes in that city to arrange a trip to Canton for their benefit, and some 500 of them will be here next month. Among Major McKinley’s callers this afternoon was T. J. Morgan, who was Commissioner of Indian Affairs under the Harrison administration. Hon. John Little, member of the Ohio Arbitration Commission, was also a guestat the Mc- Kinley home to-day. Telegrams of greeting and announcing the organization of Republican clubs were more numerous than usnal to-day. Among them were the following: BANTA ROSA, CAL—Santa Rosa McKinley Club (500 strong) sends greetings and pledge you hearty support. ALBERT G. BURNETT, President. s AT CHICAGO HEADQUARTERS, Bepublican Leaders Receive Cheering EReports From Many Sowrcrs. CHICAGO, IrL, Aug. 20.—J. M. Brown- ing, a brother of the Commissisner of Indian Affairs under Mr. Cleveland, called at Republican National headquarters to- day to offer his services as a speaker. He showed & copy of a letter he had just sent to Governor Altgeld, tendering his resigna- tion as a member of the State Board of Mine Examiners, of which he was presi- dent, as the only course open to him, as he could not support the policy of the Democratic party in the campaign. Mr. Browning is a wealthy coal-mine operator. His services will be accepted, Governor Hastings of Pennsylvania has been assigned as chief speaker to open the campaign in Cook Couaty (Chicago) the night of September 2 in the Auditorium under the auspices of the Cook County Central Committee. Starting September 7 in Missouri Sen- ator Burrows will make a speaking tour of the Middle States. There will be a joint debate at Shelbyville, 1L, Angust 22 be- tween ex-Uongressman Mason and ex-Gov- ernor 'St. John of Kansas. Senator Cul- lom will be one of the speakers at a Re- puablican rally in Springfield, Ill., next Baturday. Letters received by the commercial trav- elers' department from men traveling in Towa, Nebraska, Indiana, Illinois and ‘Wisconsin state that free silver advocates are scarce in their territories; that the feeling is on the wane and that many Democrats are declaring for McKinley.

Palmer of Illinois was asked by a cor- respondent ai Taylorville, Iil, to-day if be would accept the Presidential nomina- tion if tendered him by the tional Democratic Convention at Indianapolis. Senator Palmer replied: “No, sir, I would not think of it. 1t is impossible.” “What do vou think the Indianapolis convention will do, Senator?” “It looks now as though they would meet and adopt a vlatform, and then ad- journ without naming a ticket.”” “In that event what will the so-called “sound money’” Democrats do—vote for McKinley or not vote at all?"’ I think most ot them will vote for Me- Kinley. I would advise all of them to do so.” “Then you would rather have McKinley and protection than Bryan and free silver?” was put direct to the Senator. “Yes,” he replied. “I think protection 18 absurd, but I would rather have Mc- Kinley on that issue than risk Bryan and free silver. MOGOLLON CLOUDBURST. So Far as Is Now Known But Two Lives Were Lost in the Dis- aster. SILVER CITY, N. Mex., Aug. 20.— Telegraphiec comraunication-has jnst been re-established with the Mogolion mining camp, eighty-two miles from here, and de- tails of the cloud bursf of Wednesday after- noon received. The water swept down upon the camp about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, totally destroying twenty-six houses and busi- ness places and causing a loss in property of fally $25,000. John Knight, a miner, was caught asleep in his cabin and drowned. 5 An unknown Mexican was carried down the canyon by the raging waters and was drowned. There are reports of eight peo- ple missing, but the loss of life, so far as known, is limited to Knight and the Mex- jcan, Several freighters’ outfits were de- stroyed, and many head of live stock drowned. The cloud burst on the top ot one of the sides of the ganyon within which the town is built, and the waters were upon the people almost before they were aware of any danger. The damage done to the property owned by the many mining companies operating was comparatively slight, private houses and stores snffering the most. e s Convention of Keeley Leagues.
