EL PASO, Tex., June 5.—The first of- ficial order issued by General Luis Ter- razzas, the new Governor of the State of Chihuahua, provides for the suppression of all forms of gambling, even during the fiesta or annual celebration in honor of the patron saint. Governor Terrazzas’ order breaks all records and will not be willingly submitted to by the people, who are inveterate gamblers. In delivering the order the Governor ex- plains that gambling causes both bank- | ruptey and suicide, and that the money | thus expended could be better used to- ward the upbuilding of the State. ——— SANTA MARIA’S GUSHER DISPLAYS ACTION AGAIN | Sends a Column of Oil Eight Inches in Diameter Fifty Feet Above | the Derrick. | SANTA MARIA, June 5—The great oil | gusher at the Pinal odl wells, near Santa | Maria, displaved activity again to-day and belched forth for one hour and ten | minutes without intermission, sending a | column of ofl eight inches in diameter | fifty feet above the derrick.

ASHINGTON, June &.—The Grand Jury to-day reported an indictment against August W. Machen, former superin- tendent of the free delivery service of the Postoffice Department, who | was arrested several days ago, charged with sharing profits on Government con- tracts for letter box fasteners. The indictment was brought for viola tion of section 5301 of the Revisted Stat- utes, the penalty for violation of which is the amount asked, cefved, and by impris than three The amount which the indictment states he received iilegally is $18,97 79, Machen was in court with his attor- neys when the Grand Jury reported, and immediately gave bond in the sum of or accepted, or re onment for not more years."” $20,000 for his appearance in court. His securities were G. Staples, David Moore, F. M. Criswell and Emanuel Speich of this city. The trial will occur in October. By securing an Indictment against Machen before to-morrow, the day set for his preliminary hearing before Com- missioner Tayler, the Government has scored a victory In that it has avoided the necessity of showing its hand at a preliminary hearing. The proceedings be- fore the Commissioners now will be aban- doned. MACHEN’S EXPLANATION. In discussing the case with his friends Machen says that certain checks which it is maintained were sent to him in pay: ment of his profits in the Groft fastener, and which have been secured by the post- office inspector, were sent by his bus ness partner, George E. Lorenz of To- ledo, Ohfo, and formerly Postmaster of that city. Machen claims that his pert- nership with Lorenz was a strictly legiti mate one, and that the checks transmit- ted to him by Lorenz were in connection with mining business which the firm con- ducted. Although the amount of these checks cannot be ascertdined, Machen says that the one for the largest amount | represents a personal loan to himself from Lorenz. Machen further states to his friends that he was not a partner of the Groff Bros. concern, and that he did not re- ceive any of the profits from the sale of the letter box fasteners tos the Govern- ment. He says that no wrongdoing will be proved again him, and that the only | possible cause there may be for criti- n of his administration so far as the Groff fastener is concerned is that the price paid for the article may be con-| sidered excessive. This was necessary, he maintains, because the article was a for it was in line with the universal prac- tice in the purchase of articles which are | patented and where there is no competi- tion. His counsel to-night gave out the following statement: SURPRISE AT ACTION. The indictment against Mr. Machen by Jury is such a lengthy document th we have had no time or Opportunity to con- sider it, and we cannot, therefore, say an thing about the charges in the nine different counts. Hon of the authorities a warrant of arrest against Mr. Machen was asked for and obtained from United States Commissioner Taylor, and a lengthy supporting affidavit was filed in Which direct charges of criminal acts —were made. Upon Mr. Machen's arrest we demand- ed an immediate hearing, which was opposed by the Government, and at the request of the Government a continuance was had until June 6. Mr. Machen and his counsel had evi- dently reason to belleve that in the interim no steps would be taken to deny him the prelim- inary examination he was entitied to. authorities responsible for the issuance of this warrant have seen proper to bring the same charges now pending before Commissioner Taylor to_the attention of the Grand Jury. The Grand Jury has in consequence Indicted Mr. Machen before the date fixed for the full hearing before the United States Commissioner. 1t is expected by the Postoffice Depart- ment that the Grand Jury will report on the cases of the Groff Bros., the contrac- tors, early next week. N 0 0 e ol FAMINE LGNS OVER KIWANG HONGKONG, June 5.—The estimate of Governor Wong of Kwang Si province that over 1,000,000 natives are starving in that province is pronounced here to be approximately correct. The distress in certain districts is more acute. Children and women are freely offered for sale. The rice harvest promises well, but it will not be available for some four to six weeks. Extensive relief operations will be difficult without foreign supervis- jon, which will be hard to obtain in Kwang Si. Assistance has been sent to that province from Hongkong and Can- ton, but the funds available are becoming exhausted. The Hongkong committee will welcome subscriptions. The newly appointed Viceroy of Canton, Tsus Chaus Suen, is hastening his jour- ney to his’post because of the serious conditions In Kwang Si province.

Alarmed Residents Anchoring | Houses to Trees With Wire Cables. / Levees at Hannibal and Madison Break and Thousands of Acres of Fertile Farming Land 'Are Devastated. | i i o : | ST. LOUIS, June 5.—The terrific force and the destructive magnitude of the | great flood that is sweeping down the | Mississipp!, steadily increasing in volume, | surmounting and demolishing barriers of | protection and greedily lapping at prop- ! erty and reaching for lives, as it restless- {1y extends farther and farther beyond | the ordinary river contines, is now being felt in St. Louis and vicinity to a great extent. At 7 o'clock to-night the stage had reached 312 feet, a rise of .7 foot since 7 o'clock this morning. Govern- ment Forecaster Bowie to-night issued a bulletin predicting a stage of 35 feet by to-morrow noon, 3 feet by Sunday and 37 feet on Monday. The M ssippi, north of the mouth of the Missouri River, is still rising, but the rapidity of the rise has been diminished because of the | breaks in levee: The greater Sny levee, | which extends for miles along the Illinols shore, from Hannibal northward, broke to-day and the angry waters went rush- ing through the crevasse to devastate thousands of acres of fertile farming lands. Possibly some lives may be lost, s of life have so far but no reports of Ic been received. Later in the day the flood forced a pas- sage through the levee at Madison, Ii just north of St. Louls. This levee is fif- teen miles long and for days men have | | been hara at work endeavoring to | strengthen it. West Granite, a town of | 2000 people, is located in a depression be- | tween the levee and a railroad embank- | ment. Ample warning had been sound- | ed and the inhabitants had sought safety when the deluge came. It is believed all escaped, but the town is under water. | STREETS ARE WATERWAYS. | Like the ancient city of Venice, the | streets of Venice, 1il.,, almost opposite St. Louis, are waterways and the inhabi- tants go about in boats In Sf. Louis the buildings along the | river front have practically been aban- { doned, as the first floors are over a foot | under water, which stands to-night two | feet deep on the top of the steamboat | levee. ~ { In South St. Louis fully 100 families liv- | ing near the mouth of the River des Deres | were forced to leave their houses to-day | by the advancing waters and many fami- | lies living in houseboats fled to land for | shelter. Men, and in some cases even ‘wumvn, worked to their waists in the swirling waters, with ropes and wire j cables anchoring their homes to the rail- | road tracks and to the trees on high { ground. Wagons were backed into the river up to their beds and furniture 1 loaded in. | A Burlington switch engine, having on | board a switching crew of four men, top- pled from the undermined track into five feet of water north of the Merchants’ Bridge to-day. The men swam ashore. The interrupted train sertice has very materially improved, although more or | less delay attends their running. Except- ing that the different roads are carrying | passengers by detoured routes, regular | service has practically been resumed. | Another break occurred at midnight in | the levee at West Granite and fifty fami- { lies living in the vicinity were forced to flee for their lives. The entire town is i now inundated. The situation on the east side of river is now reported as very critical, { SEVENTY-EIGHT DEATHS. TOPEKA, Kans., June 5.—The dead in | the Topeka flood now number seventy- | eight. A boatman this afternoon reported that seven bodies had been found near the { north end of Harrison street. The unfor- ! tunates were Mrs. Jessie Shaw and four children and a man and a woman named | Shamweiler. | The body the of a man named Edwards | was picked up near Soldier Creek. | Other bodies found to-dal were those | of Mrg.

PAUL, June B.—Arguments were begun to-day before United | States Judge Lochren in the case of the State of Minnesota against the Northern Securities Company and the roads whose control is merged in the New Jersey corporation. The argu- | ments are based upon gractically lhei same testimony in most respects as that | in the e against the merger by the Federal Government. The State’s case, however, is on differ- ent grounds. The Federal case alleged a violation of the Federal Sherman anti- trust law. The State’s case is brought under a provision of the Minnesota con- stitution which specifically prohibits the combining of parallel and competing lines of railways. The arguments may last two or three | days. Attorney General Douglass opened the State's case and will be followed by George P. Wilson. The defense will then be heard. Attorneys George L. Young, M.

One point raised w: whether section 14 of the militia act re lating to expénditures of money for th militia was not in confifet with the Fed- eral constitution, the contention being that it could take the mfitary form and control of the States. General Davis points out that the new military law does | | not differ materially from the present law | all that will be necessary is a change in the forms for accounting to be made to the Treasury Department. A more important point raised concerns | section 15, whigh provides for the partic- | ipation of the militia of the several Sta | in maneuvers and field instructions of the regular army, but with a further proviso that the command of a military post or camp and of the officers and troops of the United States stationed where such man- | euvers occur shall remain with the regu- lar command of the post without regard to _the rank of the commanding. or other of the militia temporarily en- camped there. General Davis holds that such portions of the National Guard as participate in | the maneuvers or operations do so for the purpose of improving their discipline and eficieney and that in such participation | they act under the orders of their respec- tive Governors. While so engaged the several organizations of the National Guard, he says, remain under the control of their several commanders in chief and not having been “called forth” in the manner prescribed in the cor not pass under the command and control | of the President as commander in chief of the land and naval forces of the United States. He holds that the enlisted men of the National Guard are not ent d to increased pay in virtue of previous ser- vice In the militia, but says that officers who have served five years in the militia are entitled under the law to th me 10 per cent increase in pay that is pro- vided for officers of the army. The Judge Advocate General says that in applying section campments which took place in any State or Territory during the year ended De- cember 31, 1%2, should be considered in determining the right of the State or Ter- ritory to participate in the benefits con- ferred by previous and present laws. —_———— ICE COMPANY IS FORMED WITH IMMENSE CAPITAL Ten Million Dollars to Be Financial Basis of a Maine Cor- poration.

NEW YORK, June 5.—The Hamburg- American line steamer Deutschland after being stuck in the mud off the hook for nearly twenty-four hours was worked free at high water late to-day and proceeded to sea, It took the combined efforts of seven vessels and her own powerful screws to get her into deep water. She was not injured. The passengers did not appear to be much excited over their de- lay and seemed to regard their experience with good humor, The Deutschland got off earlier in the afternoon, but owing to the condition of the tide she went on again almost imme- diately while trying to turn her bow to- ward the entrance of the channel.

Itappears anonymously —and the reader will not get far into it before he discovers why. The author writes frankly. His pictures of people are remarkably suggestive. He does not mince -matters when it comes to telling of the reat national Bosses and their methods for making and breaking the reputa- tions of their henchmen.’ He draws his picturewith an unswerving hand— and it is a picture not always complimentary. One thing the book de- clares surely: that the author is some one far up in the councils of the “mighty”’ who have their seats at Washington. A Story of Washington Life and National Politics DESPOTISM A TENDER AND AF- FECTING ROMANCE ERE is brought out the full ro- mance of social Washington. No one has heretofore been able to catch the charm —the cosmopolitan fascination of the life in the national capital. It is the most fitting atmos- phere in the world for working out such a de- lightfully human middle age love story as that between the clever, cool headed Representative Thorndyke and the charming Constance Maitland. Original, and quite as human, is the romance between the brilliant Representative Crane and his fascinat- ing and devoted wife— where a half-stifled love blossoms again through the interweaving influen- ces of love and politics.
