Wl g, CZAR TO TAKE NO CHANCES. Will Not Witness the Blessing of the . Neva's Waters This Year. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 18.—Distrust- ful of the spirit of his capital and per- haps remembering the incident of last January when ome of the saluting guns | showered grape on the imperial chapel, the Emperor will not come to St. Peters- | burg for the ceremony of the blessing of the waters of the Neva to-morrow. For the first time since Empress Anna laid the foundations of the Winter Palace in 1732 the great church festival of the Epiphany will pass without the presence of the sovereign in his red-walled winter residence and without his participation as the head of the church in the conse- | cration of the Neva's flow of fruitfulness and prosperity. Details of the ceremony will be carried out as far as possible in the palace at Tsarskoe-Selo. A great flagon of the waters of the Neva will be taken to the palace, and this will be mingled with the contents of a chajice filled with waters | from the sacred river Jordan. The colors of all the guard regiments, escorted by, small detachments, have al- ready been taken to Tsarskoe-Selo, and these will be blessed and sprinkled with consecrated water. — SLAV DEMOCRATS ASSEMBLE. First Political Party Conuvention in the Czar's Empire. PETERSBURG, Jan. 18.—The arst national convention organized by a political party in the history of Kussia—that of the Constitutional Democrats—opened here to-day. Two hundred and fifty delegates, represent- ing sixty provincial organizations,were present. The first act of the delegates was significant of the trend of the con- vention, the temporary chairman, Pro- fessor Karrff, calling on the assem- blage to rise in memory of the victims (Red Sunday), sev- eral of whom were shot not far from the hall where the convention was held. Then, under the chairmanship of Petrunkevitch of Tver, the convention took up the discussion of the first topic on the programme—the party’s atti- tude toward the elections to the Na- tional Assembly. Professor Miliukoft, Editor Hessen and Prince Hakoffsky | were the leading speakers. RSt 4 REBEL LEADERS EXECUTED. for Those Who Incited the Baltic Revolution. ST.

Count de Witte to-day received a tele- gram from General Sollubug, Governor General of the Baltic provinces, saying that the pacification of Esthonia and Li- vonia was progressing satisfactorily, but that it was lagging in Courland. More than twenty of 'the principal leaders of the insurrection, the Governor General said, had been apprehended and eight of them executed. et BATTLES IN THE CAUCASUS. ists Ofer Obstinate Resist- to the Troops. TIFLIS, ®aucasia, Jan. B—A column of troops which was operating along the railroad to restore communication with Batoum has forced its way as far as the station of Suram in spite of the obstinate resistance of the revolutionists, who are uniformed and as well armed as Govern- ment troops. Regular engagements have been fought and both sides have suffered considerable losses. It will be necessary to drive the revolutionists from Nikhovo, Suram and Tsina. The last named place is a skilifully fortified town. Grakaloh has been totally destroyed. . g AT SIX JEWS PUT TO DEATH. Court-Martial Sentence Exeeuted Upon Warsaw Anarchists. WARSAW, Russian Poland, Jan. 18.— lltvol-l\- | Six Jews, members of the local anarch= | ists’ committees, who were tried by court-martial and condemned to deaf were executed to-day in the courtyal of the Warsaw citadel.

Willits ) is without water because a landslide car- ! ried away a section of the water main. That town is also without light, as the | lighting plant has been flooded and the { dynamo damaged. The long railroad trestle below Hopland has been damaged | and is impassable. It was estimated yes- | terday that Horst Brothers’ hop ranch was damaged to the extent of $5000. The | uaprecedented downpoyr last night added | as much more. | For the week ending Wednesday morn- | ing 10.59 inches rain fell. Last night from |8 to 6, 413 inches fell. Two more inches fell to-day, and the prospects are that the downpour will continue all night. The | total for the storm is over sixteen inches. At Willits last night over 6 inches fell in twelve hours. Communication has been cut off in near- |1y all parts of the county. The damage undoubtedly will be doubled when all are heard from. 8o far nothing has been | learned of the two horses and saddles and bridles seen floating in the Russian River Tuesday. Should the riders have been drowned it may be several days be- fore the news reaches the public. o S g TRACKS UNDER WATER. Heavy Rainpour Puts Stop to Travel Toward Ukinh. SANTA ROSA, Jan. 15.—There was a heavier rainfall here to-day than at any time during the week. The rain- fall for the last twenty-four hours was 2.65 inches, making a total of 1103 | inches for the storm and 14.92 inches | for the season, as compared to 18.43 | inches to the same date last year. The low country is being flooded, and in | several places the steam and electric lines have been under water, although no damage has been reported. | Several minbr ldrdslldes have been reported and the trains are more or | less late in getting through. A report | received from Ukiah tells of the over- | lowing of Gibson Creek and water running through the ecity streets into the railroad yards and flooding them last night. A section of the city's main | sewer has been washed out where it crosses Santa Rosa Creek. The northbound train on the Califor- nia Northwestern Railroad which left San Francisco at 7:30 a. m. to-day did not reach Ukiah owing to a washout halt a mile north of Pieta. The traln returned to Cloverdale and started south, when another washout was en- countered a mile and a half north of Geyserville. The train is tied up at Cloverdale awaiting repairs to the tracks. At Hopland the whole country is under water except the village. The railroad tracks are submerged in both directions for several miles. North of Healdsburg the track is being wrecked | badly, and it will be some time before it can be used. The county bridge at Largo went out this morning. All the northern part of Guerneville is flooded and several out- buildings on the bank of the river have been washed away. The mail car- rier on Mark West Springs route was compelled to retrace his steps to-day, owing to a landslide above Burke's Sanitarium and the Occidental stage found it necessary to go around by way of Sebastopol in order to get through. -John Muller, who was caught in the mad rush of the waters of Sulphur Creek, abgve Cloverdale, when the dam went out, and was rescued with great difficulty, reported a serious condition of affairs to-night. Muller lost practi- cally everything he possessed—his cab- in, barn, horses, wagon, and all his farming implements being swept away. SRR BIG LEVEE BREAKS. Crocker Ranch, Near Colusa, Nearly Covered With Water. COLUSA, Jan. 18.—After a let up for a day the storm commenced again yes- terday noon. It rained at intervals through the night and all day to-day. To-night there is a strong wind and a heavy downpour. Sacramento River registered twenty-six feet at 10 o'clock and is rising slowly. The high water mark is 28.2 feet. It reached that point on January 24, 1905. A back levee that was built aroun the Crocker estate ranch on the east sidy of the river last summer at an approxi- mate cost of $200,000 gave way yester- day evening and water is now pour- Ing into the ranch through a break about 200 feet wide. This ranch con- tains 9000 acres. Nearly 3000 acres have been planted to grain by the Crocker Company and local people, and should the river remain up any lengt of time and prevent ti opening of the south end of the levee to drain the water off the grain planted prob- ably will be a total loss. The levees on the west or Colusa side of the river are all intact and are not in any im- mediate danger. ‘tue weir that was built by the State near the mouth of Butte Slough at a cost of $12,000 has been @damaged by high water and probably will be washed out, as water is now running through at the north cnd and through the center. The south end, which adjoins the reclamation levee, District 70, in Sutter County, has been strengthened by sacks of dirt so the water will not be forced against the reclamation levee. | streams are water marks during the day.

Railroad MERGED IN —————— the south was stalled this afternoon on the south side of the Yuba River by the overflow caused by two levees forming a funnel The passengers walked around by a wagon road to reach town. Communication with San Framcisco via Woodland has been cut off by the water in Sutter Basin. The approach to town by wagon road from the south has been cut off by the destruction of the bulkhead connecting D-street bridge with the levee. Heavy rains fell all day in the mountains, the fall amount- ing to six jnches in some places. ‘The | absence of snow probably prevented the rivers from overflowing. Thé total pre- cipftation for the storm here is more than six inches, SE s S STREETS ARE FLOODED. Banks of the Napa River Fail to Hold Stream. NAPA, Jan. 18.—The heavy storm which has been In progress for several days descended to-day with renewed vigor. There was a heavy downpour of rain throughout Napa County, and the Napa River and the creeks about here rose rapidly. The rainfall at Napa for the twenty-four hours preceding 7 o'clock this evening amounted to 1.63 inches. At Calistoga this afternoqn there was a cloudburst. This evening the Napa River is out of its banks, and is pouring broad and deep streams across East First street and Third street. The river has reached the highest point of the season. The total rainfall for this season to date amounts to 18.82 Inches, against 15.90 inches at the corresponding date last year. A TWO MEN MISSING. —_— s Belleved to Be Victims of Smowstorm in Nevada, RENO, Jan. 18.—George Dove, the missing Tuscarora mail carrier, stag- gered into Eagle Rock station nearly dead from exposure to-day. He was forced to abandon his horses in the mountains, as the snow was so deep he could make no progress. Dove spent forty-eight hours in the terrible snow- storm, and the fact that he did not perish 1s considered miraculous. No word has been recelyed as yet of Robert Tucker, who left his home on Canz Creek, thirty-seven miles north of Elko last Friday, and it is feared that he has perfshed in the snpw. “Kit” Bullard, who left Elko Friday morning, driving the Tuscaroa stage, has not reached the first telephone station, and it is thought that he also is a victim of the storm. Several resci: parties have been sent out from Elko and Tus- carora. A TRAVEL IS SUSPENDED. Big Landslide Blocks Trafiic on Butte County Rallroad. CHICO, Jan. 18.—The storm here 'is the worst in years. The rainfall was 1.06 in ten hours and is increasing.. A big landslide occurred on the Butte County Railroad to-day near Sterling City. 1t covered a guarter of a mile of track, and trains cannot operate for several days. The levee broke on the Northern electric road crossing on Butte Creek and a big section was washed out. The Sacramento has passed the sixteen-foot mark and is rising a foot an hour. The ferry has suspended operations. Stages to Or- land, Richardson Springs and West/ Branch have been compelled to aban, don their trips. / —l g BIG DREDGER ADRIFT. Breaks From Moorings During Storm d Endangers Bridge. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 18.—One of the big couch gold dredgers in the Feather River broke from its moorings near Oroville this morning begause of the sudden Trise of the river, and was car- ried rapldly down stream by the force of the strong current. It was feared the immense boat, bounding swiftly down the river, would land against the Gridley bridge and wreck it, but the dredger was thrown out of its course by a cross-current and struck a sand bar above the ranch of Dr. Bvans, where it remained fast until towed back to {ts moorings. The dredger be- longs to the W. P. Hammond Company, and is valued at $30,000. SR LOW PLACES INUNDATED. Reports of Damage by Storm Are Re- celved at Miltom, , MILTON, Jan. 1§.—The storm is still prevailing as fiercely as at any time since it broke. The ground is thor- oughly saturated and all the rain that is now falling must be carried’ away by the various water courses. Low places ara inundated, and repo: of damage are now coming in. The Cal- averas, the principal water course of this vicinity, is not yet unusually high, but this conditiop cannot long remain if the storm continues. VALLEYS IN DANGER. Inundation Will Result if the Rain Continues Another Day. NEVADA CITY, Jan. 18.—The rainfall for the twenty-four hours ending at 7 o'clock to-night is 4.40 inches, making a total of 20,27 inches for seven days, or 27.29 inches for the seasop, which is nearly five inches more th: last sea- son’s fall at this date. The rain is ac- companied by a high south wind. If the storm continues another day the valleys will be in great danger of inun- dation. The rain extended far into th® mountains to-day, melting the snow. B i e FAMILY ENDANGERED. Carried From Flooded Home in Night Clothes by Nelghbors.

A ter- rific wind is blowing from the south, and great damage is being done in all (dlrec!lonL Reports from the east side tell of high water in Stillwater and Churn creeks. This evening a horse, which was being forded across Still- water by a sheepman named Drew, was swept down stream and lost, and the rider narrowly escaped being drowned. The big dam recently bullt on Battle Creek, to divert water to the fishery ditches, was reported washell out this morning. The river here is so high that i the ferry has suspended operations. The ’larmerl along the lowlands are fear- y ful lest the continued rise of water will j Sweep away their barns and fences. { The season’s precipitation up to 7 this morning was 18.19. Last night 2.24 inches fell, and to-night an addional two inches was added, making a total of 15.19, against 25.18 last seasen, to date. SR |ALL STREAMS ARE FULL. STOCKTON, Jan. 18.—All of the streams In this vieinity are well filled and east of Stockton Mormon channel has been un- able to carry the water. Quite an acre- ege his been inundated, but will not be damaged as it will run back into the wa-~ terways as soon as the freshet ceases. The reports from east of the ecity are that the streams are steadily rising and & lot of water is expected from the moun- tains. There is no danger on the islands as the river is not anywhere near the danger point. At 11:30 to-night rain is falling in tor- rents in this city and the surrounding country, While it is not expected that the lowlands will be inundated the small streams east of Stockton Wilk probably overflow. Almost five inches of water has fallen here this geason. E——— LANDOWNERS FEARFUL. / LODI, Jan. 18—Rain continues to fall here, accompanied by bhigh winds. To date nearly seven inches of rain have fallen, a greater améunt than has been recorded in Northern San Joaquin for many years. No damage has yet resulted from. the wind storm, although it 1is blowing a gale. The Mokelumne River is still within its banks, but land owners along the stream fear it will overflow. L el Still Raining in Monterey. MONTEREY, Jan. 18.—The =torm still continues, the rainfall to-day amounting to .42 of an inch, making total of 9.30 inches for the season.

Ern bt Heavy Rain in San Jose. | 8AN JOSE, Jan. 18.—Rain has been fall- ng continuously for forty-eight hours. ‘or fifteén minutes to-night the down- pour reached the proportions of a cloud burst. At midnight it looks as if the rain /would continue throughout the night. / —_— STORM IS GENERAL. PR =——— Every Part of the State From San Diego to Siskiyou Drenched. The storm was general from San Diego north as far as the Weather Bu- reau stations extend. Winds were high throughout the State. Snow feil in Sis- kiyou and in the Sierra. The barome- ter was down to 29.52 last might—the lowest point reached since March 10, 1904. On that account Professor Mc- Adle said he felt qualified to state that it was the worst storm for years. in view of the possible disastrous results. The chief danger last night was in the possible overflow of rivers. Warm rains are falling in the lower mountain altitudes, causing the snow to melt. The heavy rains of the last eight days added to this new volume of water raised the rivers extensively. At Sac- ramento the river was 23.09 feet in depth, at Colusa 26.10 feet, at Tehama 12.7, at Marysville 19.6, at Red Bluff 17.5 and at Oroville the Feather River had ralsed nine feet in twenty-four hours. In addition to this the San Joaquin was carrying a great amount of water from the Merced, Stanislaus, Calaveras and Tuolumne rivers. River warnings were sent out early yesterday morning and reinforced with others at night. McAdie says that unless the storm abates there will be much harm done. FRANCE PREPARES TO MAKE Continued From Page 1, Column 5. Ko ctrcrerms. o el s St e S him liable to military service under the conscription law. In ministerial circles it is believed that the incident of Taigny's expulsion loses some of Its character of gravity, as ofiicial notice was given to Presi- dent Castro a few days ago by the American Minister that diplomatic re- lations betwen France and Venezuela had ceased to exist. Therefore, Taigny was not expelled as the representative of France, but as a simple French citl- zen. / A telegram from L/Orient, the French war port in Brittany, announces-that the cruisers Jean Bart, Chasse de Loup and ubat are preparing to join the French dlvision cruising in the vicinity of Venezuelan waters. = SO CASTRO MAY FIND FRIENDS. Other Governments Have an Interest in His Custom-Houses. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—All infor- mation upon the situation in Vene- zuela which the State Department has amounts to this: That France bhas not yet determined upon the course which she thinks she ought to pursue to bring President Castro to a realization of what is belleved to be an affront upon French honor and that this coun- try cannot determine upon a course of action until after it shall have learned the intentions of France. Mr. Russell, the United States Min- ister to Venezuéla, is very ill, being confined to his reom with tropical ma- laria, and is unable to communicate with the department. Meanwhile, the strongest fleet of the United States left Hampton Roads yesterday afternoon, under command of Rear Admiral Evan: for Culebra and in a few days will be within reach of the Caribbean Sea. It is admitted at the State Depart- ment that France seems to have suf- ficient provocation to declare war, but the officials, outside of the accustomed reserve of the department, feel that they are incapable under the clreum- stances of predicting whether or not war will follow the acts/of President Castro. Nor can it be learned from authorities on international law wheth- er or not war could be declared and carried on by France without viclating the rights of the nations which have a very considerable interest in the customs duties of Venezuela. Great / Britain, Germany, Italy and France herself, as well as the United States, have vital interest in the regular collection of the Venezuela customs un- der the treaty which followed the block- ade of the Venezuelan coast three years ago. War by France would disturb this collection and distribution among the in- ternational creditors, and for that reason there is some question whether the other powers will permit France to undertake the prosecution of a war. The situation is further complicated by the statement of the President in his last message to Congress, to the effect that even a temporary occupation of the cus- tom-houses of an American country by a European power was a menace to the Monroe doctrine, but it is conceded that it is a difficult matter to interpret the word “temporary.” Under the English common law possession and oceupation of territory for a period of twenty yeags constitute the best title which one can have, and it is pointed out in this respect that Great Britain has been in practical possession of Egypt for a longer period than that. On the other hand, it is realized here that if the United States should object to a temporary seizure of Venezuelan ter- ritory n act of war this counyy would tl be called upon to assume the responsibility for the acts of President Castro toward M. Taigny. ————— CASTRO MAKES ACCUSATIONS. Charges That France Supported Veme- zuelan Revolutionists. CARACAS, Venezuela, Wednesday, Jan. 17.—The Constitucional, in publishing the correspondence preceding the diplomatic rupture between Venezuela and France, claims to prove the complicity of France in the Matos revolution. The paper says: “We don’'t aecuse the cable company, whoseeresponsibility we consider to be limited. We accuse the French Govern- ment of disloyalty to Venezuela, because, while our representatives and Ministers wera sincerely and honorably seeking le- gal solutions of the difficulties in the light of international reciprocity, France co- operated with Matos, the leader of the revolution, to stain our valleys and cities with blood and privately ordered the man- agers of the cable company to transmit information to the revolutionists, assisted in bankrupting the credit of the Govern- ment abroad and endangered the integrity of the national territory.” A memorandum of the conference be- tween American Minister Russell and Foreign Secretary Yborra on the subject of the Government's failure to invite Taigny, the French Charge d’Affaires, to the official New Year's reception, sets forth that Minister Russel sald: “Secretary Root has cabled me express- ing that he' is deeply interested in the question, and' adds that grave conmse- quences will follow if the situation is not changed immediately.” A decree expelling from Venezuela Jac- coux and Bourget, respectively the mana- gers of the French cable stations at Cara- cas and La Guayra, for disregarding the laws of the republic, was published yes- terday. e MISSING MAN RETURNS.—Frank Mar- shall of 112B Golden Gate avenue, who was reported to the police of San Alameda as missing, turned home last night.

RENO, Jan. 18.—By the heroic actiom of John Calhoun, a 16-year-old track- walker on the Virginita and Truckee Rallroad—the local road between Vir- ginla City and here—the lives of scores of passengers were saved yesterday afternoon. But for the lad's pluek and presence of mind the train would have crashed Into a rock weighing several tons which had been washed from the hillside above by a heavy storm. The train was speeding down the grade when the engineer saw the boy standing in the middle of the track frantically waving his coat.

The passengers swarmed from the train and when they realized their miraculous es- cape from death immediatély started a collection for the reward of the young hero. - A handsome purse was made up In this way and -presented to the herolo youth. The boy discovered the rock on the track some time before the arrival of the train and used every effort to remove it, but, owing to the fact that he was alone and the immense size of the boulder, was unable to dislodge it. TWO FAMILIES JOIN IN A TRIPLE WEDDING Widower, Widow and Four Children in a Matri- monial Mix-Up.

Nature meant that the bowels should be kept free and open—that we should have a free movement at least once a day. Of course, we ourselves are to a large ex- tent responsible for our troubles by failure to observe Nature's laws. Our habits are irregular, wa eat improper food with undue haste, and when we find our bowels do not move, have re- sort to powerful drugs and medicines, which are so drastic in their action that, although they may purge at first, they damage the tender lining of the stomach and bowels so as to leave a ‘worse condition than before.
