A prcnt deal of Interest centers In Iho
selection of a chairman of the republican tin-
tional commit co. The hotel where the com-
mtttoo will nssomblo nt U o'clock tomorrow
mornlnp for organizing has boon tbo scoso
of considerable bustle nil day and iw corri
dors nro lively tonight with politician * .
About thirty of the ntty uiotnbora of the na
tional committee nro In the city anil the nt-
tondanco promises to bo almost full. A num
ber of proxies are said to bo In the hands of
the retiring chairman , Mr. Clarkson , but as
evidence of the kcouost sort of Interest lu
tlio nppronchiog campaign It Is stated that
the attendance tomorro\v will bo larger than
usual.
Up to this evening a chairman has not , boon
decided upon. It looks as though some of
tbo contcsti which tools place at Mlnnnoapo
Its In the old committee would bo repeated
hero In the now committee. Tboro nro some
of Cbnlrraan Clarkson'a friends who Insist
that ho shall bo ro-oluoted in splto of the ue-
slro to huvc a chairman from Now York or
fconio other eastern state wlioro ho will bo In-
nlvldunlly kno.vn and where personality will
have much weight with the bond of the coin-
mlltco and where the worK of the commltteo
wilt bo performed.
C'larkmm'H Friends Actne.
This afternoon the friends of Mr. Clnrkson
proposed that If ho was elected chairman of
the committee they would accord the nam
ing of the cxocutlvo committee to tboso who
oppose Mr. Clnrkson and the chairman of the
executive comtulltoo might bj taken from
Now York. This was not accepted
ns practicable , oven by Mr. Clnrkson ,
ns two heads might get nt loggerheads
and work to cross purposes. It has boon the
custom to mnko the chairman of Iho national
committee chairman also of the executive
commltteo , nnd it Is probable that thin elec
tion will not bo an exception to the rule. If
It is found that a chairman of the national
commltico can bo taken from outside of the
committee , it may bo that Cornelius N. Bliss
of Now York will bo the man to prosldo over
the managerial destinies of the republican
campaign. In any event Mr. Clnricson , It is
stated , Is to bo placed upon thn executive
commltteo. Thcro Is to bo harmony of action
and the commltteo is to bo organized so that
it will bo most effective. The best of feeling
prevails In overv quarter.
There Is not a word uttered of opposition
to Iho president , mid a disposition prevails to
nccord to the president the fullest Inlluoaco
nnd consideration la the work of the commit-
too. It Is exported that the committee will
bo in session thico or four days , and that a
general plan of campaign will be determined
upon.
Members of the national committee today
roud with Interest the dispatches from
Chicago announcing that .ludcro Walter Q.

proposition to make him tbo people's party
candidate ! for thu presidency. None of them
would bcllovo that General G res ha in could
bo induced to lend himself to such u cause.
M'liey ' were confident that Grcshnm could sco
that his cacdidacy would result In nothing
moro than embarrassment to the repub
licans If indeed it out any serious llguro nt
nil , and since Gonerul Grcsbam owns to the
republican party whatever ho may hnvo
achieved in tbo way of prominence in poll-
tics , It would bo moro than fr.lly to Join u
movement ugulnst tha republican cause.
Mr. lliirrlson'H Illumine Mute.
Vlco Presidential Candidate Whilolaw
Reid spent Friday afternoon at the white
house lunching with the president nnd talk
ing over thoapproachlng campaign , nnd early
lu thu day Mr. Rflid called upon tbo cabinet
ofllcers und seme friends in the s6iiutc. Ho
v/ns very cordially received ovorvwhoro.
Mr. Raid is about llvo feel cloven in height
but qullo slender , weighing probably HO
pounds. His face Is thin , yet Lt always car-
lies a pleasant smile , tils eyes are light
blue or gray nnd his heavy mustache und im-
-.Ijorial , as.veil as his heavy sulto of hair , are
two-thirds gray. He is u llttlo stooped , bis
voice Is musical , but not strong , owing to n
slight throat affection. Ho was today ut-
tlrcd In n hteol gray cutaway w'tb ' a whllo
sailor straw hut.
In conversation Mr. Reid Is exceedingly
hunpy ; always quick and bright. Ho has an
unlimited fund of Information upon all sub
jects , havincr been un associate of public men
nnd habitue of publio places for more than n
Kcoro and a half of years. Ho U a llttlo up-
wnrd of 50 years of ngo and yet ho does not
look it. Tnaro is no risk In saying that ho
will provo a very canaolo and satisfactory
presiding oftlcer In the senate. Ho is emi
nently fulr in his views and ucts , yet , ho Is a
man of positive convictions. Personally no
! 4. more ngrcoablo man could bo found. He has
. always boon n favorite with those who have
\ labored around tha great printing ofllco of
the Now York Tribune , where ho learned
the printer's trade and served at the printer's
case with Horace Grooloy.
Honored the I'rlntcrn.
It Is certainly n great honor to Iho printer's
profession und Iho nrt of printing Itself that
u typesetter should bo called to the vlco
presidency of the United States. It Is not
Mr. HeldV Intention to go upon the platform
In tha approaching campaign for tbo extent
of making n regular nerles of campaign
speeches , and yet being a clover off-haiid
tpraUor ho will make many short addresses
nnd Impromptu efforts. The.'u are few men
so well posted In Iho country's history nnd
the Issues which will bo dragged into the
campaign.
President Harrison will likely attend the
reunion of his old regiment in Indiana in
October nnd his appearance upon the roud
nnd In his nntlvo state will undoubtedly call
forth u number of short speeches. Beyond
Ibis nnd probably n number of responses at
public gatherings other than political , and
the usual rcipoiiics to calling delegations ,
Iho prcildoni will not enter Into the uctlvo
part of the speech-making campaign ,
May He Imvutlk'uted.
There are Intimations iui < t some question-
nble transactions may bo taking place in tbo

colvod hero some dnj sago by an individual
who does not ruiiK high In KJCU transactions ,

that "wo hnvo got thu money. " It U sup

work In conercss Is shrouded In uncertainty.
Much depends upon responses to urgent
telegrams sent out , demanding , rather than
asking , the return of abiant mambars to
thftr posts of duty. Not a single regular an
nual appropriation bill has yet beoamo n law ,
although the fiscal yo.ir will oxotro Thurs
day , and resort must the * bo had to the ex
pedient of extending the appropriations by
Joint resolutions to prevent a total stoppage
of the machinery of govornmont.
In tbo senate the agricultural bill has bcon
practically completed nml u tormal vote will
probably bo tnkon tomorrow on tha slng.lo
amendment remaining unacted on ono rj-
Intlng to the monthly crop reports of the
Agricultural department. Probably the
legislative bill will follow In regular order.
It Is to bo reported Monday from Iho com
mltteo on appropriations.
The pension nnd postonlco appropriation'
bills arc ready on the senate calendar and
await action , and the first named will doubt
less bo sent to conference within a day or
two. Meanwhile tbo conference commit
tees will bo ready for nctlon nnd It is ex
pected that , the District of Columbia , tlio
diplomatic and consulnr ahd probably the
naval appropriation hills will ba agreed upon
In conference before iho end of the week.
Tha anti-option bill may also cut homo llguro
In the proceedings If It emerges from the

The general deficiency bill Is tha untlnlshod
business , the yens and nuys having bcon or

LVUEPO , Tex , , Juno20. The greatdrought
which has prevailed in souio portions of
southwest Texas on the Rio Grande border
for the last two years continues unbroken ,
except in spots. The llvo block Industry on
the nuieo has been nlmoit annihilated , and
the total failure of cropi , except In the Ir
rigated districts , has resulted in cjUremo
suffering among the flockmasters and poorer
classes. The situation in tbo state of Du-
ranpo nnd parts of Cochulla Is extremely
critical i All vegetation , with the exception
of the hanly maguey plant , is literally burned
up and there is un prospect ot n crop next
season. The famous Lagunn county , la
which a few years ago were raised some of
the finest cotton crops in the world , Is now a
desert. At Laicdo , which is an industrial
center of considerable Importance , the
wealthiest citizens hnvo subscribed liberally
toward a fund to establish lunch rooms ,
whoto the poor and suffering classes are to
bo fed free of charge.
In Durango only the prompt action of the
government bos prevented actual starvation.
To provide tbo poor nguliiHt suffering , ono of
tbo llrxt acts on the p.irt of the govarment
several months ago when the drought tint
begun to ba felt was to contract for the Im
portation of u largo conslgnmontof corn from
tha United Suites. This was sold at low
prices to tno poorer classes uud EOOII stopped
the dcalincs of speculator * , who wore be
ginning to reap n rich harvest by getting
a corner on shipments ami putting up their
prlco to an exorbitant figure.
Several hundred thousand bushels of corn
buvo been shipped from the United Status
into tbo northern stntei of Mexico , most ol it
going Into Durango and Cochulla. If no
orop ; woio planted in Durnngo and Cochullu
this season , it Is likely moro sorluui results
will follow than nro felt at present.
It Is not behoved that the general govor-
mcnt or tbo state authorities will permit the
continuation of any buffering tbnt they can
prevent , but iltoto ure remote suctions from
wtiioh no complaint Would probable ever bo
heard , oven IUOUKU the people were in the
dlroil want.

additional facts of the recent lighting at

from eyewitnesses. It ? appears that a force
of 450 Insurgents attacked the uOU federal

desperate tight ; , but \iUlinatcly the rebels
were repulsed , with - considerable loss on
both sldot. Thou I'olitleal.Oblof Escobar In

rifles , charged on the revolutionists , who
had only partially reiibverej from tbo repulse -

attacks. The lighting was in many cat > oj
hand to hand nnd wiis of the mott deter
mined character. Thd federals charged with

In the midst of the ; , light the rebel chief ,

It Is certain that both sidci have bcon

Nnw YORK , June 20. ROT. Thomus Utxon ,
Jr. , now under ball , pending trial on n charge
of libelling United States Commissioner Koch ,
preached today in Association ball for tbo
last tlmo during the summer mouths. As n
proludoto hl > saimon ho niado n statement
ot thn fuels and the ofllcial record ot Com
missioner Koch , upon whom the so-called
libellous sentence lu the review of May 20
were bated.
Mr. Dtxon said ho bad never seen Koch
until ho took Iho witness chair. "I had a
supreme contempt for this man who Is ut
terly obscured by the hopaloss rascality of
the record he has made lu office , if we are to
bellovo the testimony ot iincontradiolod wit
nesses and the decisions of the Juagos ot the
supreme court. "
Simply n Cntspiur.
"Koch , " said ho , "is simply the cntspaw
of tbo quiet young man who spells the king's
English with dinicultv nnd is averse to pub
licity of nny sort Hushoy Grant. Tam
many is simply tr/Iuir to throttle the f rcu
speech of the pulpit ot Now York.
"Koch found at last in bis pal , Grady , n
Judge whoso opinion ha was willing for the
public to hear. But bo didn't venture into
( irudy's court until ho ascertained by pri
vate confab what the decision would bo.
"Whon the fnrco nt court was ended tbo
complaint was railroaded down to the dis-
in a few hours nnd hurried to the grand Jury.
Why this extraordinary haslol Is suchhtisto
usual In Now York ! I found out why when
I got In the grand jury room. Not suspectIng -
Ing n Job , I foolishly asked the privilege to
make u statement. The foreman , however ,
drew a line nt my evidence In Jus-
tlllcatlon or excuse of the nllogod libel. I
learned subsequently that this foreman
was Frank Higgliio , uTnmmnny hall 'heeler. '
Thcro Is therefore no mystery lu n Tammany
complaint before a Tammany Judge being
shot by lightning into the district attorney's
onlca and into Iho itching talons of a Tam
many foreman , especially when the indict
ment wus based on nn assault on Tainmnny.
A Withering , ; itlastliiK' Curse.
"This same grand Jury dismissed olght In
dictments sent In through Dr. Parkburst's
society , while it took it only three minutes
to Ilml nn Indictment ftguinst mo for words
wlncn occurred in a pablto defense of Dr.
Purkluirat. Tammany hall is the most
powerful eotono of orgnnl/eu criminals that
over dominated the life of any cUillzattou.
It makes nnd unmakes Judges and Juries. It
is the ono withering , blasting curse of our
city's life , damning with the whole breath of
corruption an 1 dishonor every ramlflcatlon
of our body politic.
"If it bo true that the llfo of a minister of
the coapcl Is not safe who dares seriously to
attack Tammany ball , then , in the ntimo of
Almighty God , it is tlmo the world know It.
By * birth , tradition nnd association ns a
southern man I am n democrat , and I voted
that ticket four Vc'ars ' ago. Democracy , 1
learned in my- old state , inoant honesty and
integrity and decency. A southern demo
crat cannot nnltlato with Tammany hall
without first lowering the standard of his
manhood and soiling his BOU ! to the devil.
Trciiulim-y In Tliulr Hearts.
"I tnko occasion to warn the nntionnl
democracy that Tammany hall is n load it
cannot carry lonircr. Before the party
comes before the nation to win another vic
tory it will have to kick Tammany out at the
back door uud turn on the boso pipe. After
trying to damage tbo state ot Now York
thov como sneaking homo from Cnlcago ,
saving they will support the tickot. They
lie. They como back with honor on their
lips , treachery in their hearts and kntves in
their boots. They will do ns they have done
before and spend another four yours in tryIng -
Ing to Uo out of it. The difference between
the present regime of Tammany hull and
that of Its founder , William M. Tweed , Is
tbo difference ; between the ethics of u bunco
stoeror nnd n highway robber.
"If the slippery godchildren of William M.
Tweed bcllovo they can Intimidate this pul
pit lot them take duo notice they have made
a mistake. "

oflico holders , or tboso who expect federal
onices. "
Regarding thn platforms adopted at Min
neapolis and Chicago , Mr. Taubenock said
that so far as he could scia they were , with
.tho exception of the tariff planks , identical.
As to the attitude tha silver producing
states would probably tuko during the
coming campaign. Mr. Taubenock stated :
' From the correspondence I am receiving ,
especially from Colorado , 1 am sufo in saying
that neither Hnrnson or Cleveland can poll
ever 15 per cent of their respective party's '
votes. That holds true in every other mining
stato. Colorado ban -iO.O'M ' ) votes enrolled
In her silver clubs. Everyone Is
plcdizod to vote for neither party
unless they favor frco and uiillmltol coinage
of silver , and my opinion Is that these people
moan Just exactly what they nay. Thodomn-
crntlc delegates from * Colorado ut the Chicago
convention have culled n convention of demo
crats of Colorado. 1 think they will declare
both the nominee and platform ut Chicago as
undemocratic , repudiate it and uloct delegates
to confer with the people's party at Omaha.
Thov will also call on overv other nlvor
Blnto to do the same nnd I think It will bo
dono. Th5 executive commltteo of the bl-
metallic leagues Is In session now , nnd from
Information I have they will docluro both
the old parties as enemies to bimetallism
nnd Issue tvcall to the frao silver clubs und
the blmotallla loaders to send delegates to

of territory adjacent to the vlllaga cf
Dauphin , asuburuoJf this city , nro buried
beneath a Hood tonight , and a thousand or
moro houses between State street nnd Lake
Michigan are nt the mercy ot the waves ,
which a strong northeast wind hns forced
through the basement and first floors. The
great body of wutor , which has boon
collecting In the lake ration , has broken nil

barrier at Eighty-seventh street , rushing
down with terriflo force upon Grand Cross
ing. whoso citizens are panic stricken by the
sight of n sea of rising water mvnding ovorv
homo and driving householders cither from
tlioir dwellings or to the second stories. At
the present writing there nro not less than
two foot of water In the streets. Every
basement Is Hooded nnd the foundations of u
number of buildings nroealtencd. .
The immediate cause of Iho Hood is the
breaking of the Eighty-sovonth street
bank , duo to tbo accumulation of
water during the recentstorm. .
Grand -Crossing nt midnight was
in despair. At Fordham and Dauphlr. Park
tbo suffering was only less In the degree that
tboro weio few to suffer and u loss number
to experience the terror of a possible death
before morning In the waters , which were
rising at the rate of ono inch nn hour. Every
effort is being made by these overtaken by
the Hood to escape with their families. It
Is onl.v by moans ot improvised rafts that
movement from ono point to another is
possiblo.
Up to tha present no loss of llfo is re
ported , but ruscuo parties have started to
help these who are in u perilous condition.
Two boys were drowned in that part of the
west branch known as Mud lake today.
There aio rumors that the Hood has boon
caused by the embankment being cut as the
result of rivalry batwcon real estate men.
The water Is at n slunusUU nnd It Is nol
likely that any deaths will occur from
drowning. There is no outlet , however , for
tbo stream , so that it will only disappear by
peaking through tbo earth and evaporation ,
As a consequence un outbreak of disease is
