This afternoon when great crowds were
watching the llood , the first disaster hap-
* ) iiiicd here. Captain Stanley Flannlgan nnd
JMIchael LoBlonde were going down the river
Tin n row boat used to pcddlo milk along the
( docks. When near the mouth of the raging
[ stream , ono of LoBkmdo's oars broke nnd
f the two men wcro left nt the mercy of the
I waters. They wcro quickly carried out Into
the lake by the rushing stream , and ns It
wns evident thnt the frail craft could not
live In tlio angry sea that was coming In
' from the north , preparations wcro quickly
begun for their rescue. Seven men manned
'thu lito boat nnd pulled away toward the
cast pier of the breakwater , toward which
point the boat containing Flannigan and
JLoBlondo had drifted. When the
llfo savers were well out ! of the
mouth of the river thij steering
oar broke , nnd In an instant the
cork-like vessel swung about , tossed on the
angry waves. The men In the Jlfcboat were
totally helpless nnd before assistance- any
kind could l > o rendered , their boafwas over
turned nnd all the men were thrown into

injrholdof the overturned lifeboat , where
they hung on until they whre rescued in a

PiTTaia'ita , I > a. , May 17. After n steady
lownpour throughout western Pennsylvania
for nearly sixty hours , the rain lias'coased
md the weather Is clearing. The heavy
rain has caused all the small streams In this
cctlon to overllow their bankg nnd great
loss to property Is reported from all direc
tions.
In this city the water is rising rnpluly , but
no sqrious damage is apprehended. 1'Voui
re | > orts received , river men predict
a rlso from twenty to twenty-live
ftet by tomorrow. This will Inun
date the low lands aud llood houses and
mills lining the banks of the rivers. Only
ono llfo has been reported lost so far. but
the damage to property will reach hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
At Tltusvlllo the flood resembles In many
respects that of last June , when scores of
lives were lost. The entire lower portion of
the city Is Inundated by several feet of
water. Franklin , Washington , Perry , Mon
roe and Mechanic streets are rushing rivers.
The tracks of the Western New York &
Pennsylvania railway nro under water for
half a mile. The llood Is caused , as It was
last year , by the overflow ol Oil creek , nnd
by the mill race , which runs through the
center of the city , and backwater trotn
its banks. The Tltusvlllo Iron works , flvo
refineries nnd many manufacturing estab
lishments , hundreds of houses and other
buildings are under water. All trains on
the Western New York & Pennsylvania are
stalled here. The damage will amount to
many thousands of dollars. The creek Is
very high tonight and It Is raining , and
higher ' water Is anticipated before morning.

The rainfall Monday nnd Tuesday was

I'our Dcspcrnto Horse Thieves Succeed In
Overpowering the Deputy.
CnnrESXK , Wyo. , May 17. [ Special Tele
gram to Tim BBC , ] The few citizens who
are loft in Lander , the county scat of Fre
mont county , are beside themselves with
excitement. The reason is this : This
afternoon about 5 o'clock Deputy Sheriff
Browcr went into the jail to feed the four
prisoners , All are waiting for trial for
horse stealing. When Browcr was once
insldo the jail all four Jumped on him and
overpowered him before ho was able either
to shoot or mnko any resistance.
Ho was quickly bound , gagged and dis
armed. Then the four men , Ed Nyc , Dick
Carr , Joseph Nutcherand Dick Dierk , threw
Brewer Into a cell and locked the door and
with the keys taken from their victim , went
into the sheriffs ofilco and fitted themselves
out with Winchesters nnd revolvers. A
visit to Short's livery stable and the lack of
horses was supplied.
They then started out , stopping only to
take a constable's Horse In case ono of their
animals should break down. As they went
through the town an attempt was made
by citizens to stop them , but without
avail for the escaping desperadoes opened
lire , which was returned with a will by the
citizens. No citizen was hurt and It is be
lieved that the outlaws got away uninjured.
They headed for the mountains nnd nro
being pursued by a posse that includes
nearly nil of Lander's male population , The
men belong to the Big Horn basin gang and
are typical border ruffians.
Carr nnd Nutcher were arrested In Ne
braska a short tlmo ago and escaped from
the Casper jail while being taken to Lander.
They were recaptured , however.

May 17. [ By Mexican Cable to the Now
York Herald-Special to TUB BBB. ] The
Herald's correspondent in San Juan del Sur
has Just sent me n mess.ipo by cable \rhlch
lie says the uprising against President So
cosa Is the most popular movement that has
over been startcil In Nicaragua. The revolu
tionists nro carrying everything before them
and all departments except tvro nro now con
trolled by them. In some of those depart
ments nearly every citizen joined the revolu
tion , leaving Socosa without supporters.
Thousands of volunteers , the Herald's ' cor
respondent says , liavo been rejected by the
revolutionary leaders because they did not
have arms with which to bid them fight for
the cause. One-half of the organized revo
lutionary army Is armed only with ma-
chcttcs.
Perfect order prevails In the revolutionary
camp. The soldiers are paid everyday. All
property belonging to citizens which Is taken
for the use of the revolutionary army is paid
for by the wealthy leaders who furnished the
money to back up the movement. Prisoners
arc humanely treated and wounded govern
ment soldiers arc properly cared for. All
laws arc as fully respected by the revolu
tionists now as during the times of peace.
I'ollcy of the President.
President Socosa has adopted drastic
measures to control the country. Severe
punishment Is Inflicted upon all whom ho can
11 ml who sympathize with the revolution.
Property belonging to revolutionary leaders
in Managua has been confiscated and foreign
residents of the capital go armed to protect
themselves from assault. The presence of a
war ship in Corinto is needed to protect the
property of foreigners.
I am told that the United States min
ister sent a cable dispatch to Washington
on May 12declaringthata war ship should bo
sent to Nicaragua waters without delay to
protect American interests. When the
Herald correspondent arrived In Grenada ho
was arrested , but was immediately released.
The leaders were apparently not enlight
ened enough to extend the usual privileges
to newspaper correspondents.
Socosa's soldiers are easily frightened. A
party of those quartered In Managua were
carousing the other night and several of
them Hrcd indiscriminately In the streets.
The soldiers in the camp believed the revo
lutionists had begun an assault upon the
town and returned the lire. A cross-lire was
continued for fully half an hour between the
government soldiers. The ofllccrs of the
government did not take in the true situa
tion until after several of the men had been
killed. Then the firhigceased , but strangely
enough a similar fight took place on the fol
lowing night , with even more bloody results.
More than twenty government soldiers were
killed on the second night's light.
Condition of the Country.
Business is paralyzed in Managua. The
banks are closed and telegraphic and postal
communication interrupted.
The Herald's correspondent in San Juan
del Sur , Nicaragua , sends the news that
great caution is being shown by the revolu
tionary and government leaders In preparing
for the decisive battle 01 the war , which It
is expected will take place near Barranca.
When the leaders of one side are convinced
that their position is the moro favorable
one , they will order an attack , and then will
be fought the battle which will llruily estab
lish Sooosa in power or enable the revolu
tionists to march into Managua and estab
lish the provisional government In the cap
ital of the rcpblic.
Managua is now held by President Socosa ,
who has behind him 2,501) ) soldiers. Jinotepo
Is the advance pose of the revolutionists. It
Is held by 500 men , but the revolutionists
have a lighting force of 1,500 other soldiers
within a short distance.
To Divide ilio Revolutionist * .
The government has made several efforts
to arouse the old feud between the Leonards
and Grandinos , hoping to profit by the hos
tile feelings among the factions. In this in
trigue to stir up local Jealousies and maku
men forget the revolution in the settlement
of old quarrels the government has not been
successful.
Meanwhile patriotic citizens are endeavor
ing to settle the controversy without blood l- fl
shed. For this purpose a patriotic peace
junta has been organized by the upper
classes of Leon and Chlcngn. The bishop
and clergy are working with them. A dele
gation from this organization watted on
President Socosa and asked him to resign
and settle the whole trouble by the election
of a new president. This project -was re
jected. Mgr. Ycloz , Roman Catholic bishop
of Honduras , is reported to have also re
quested Socosa to resign , having' boon In
duced to do so by the clergy of Nicaragua.
Socosa's reply to the bishop was a blunt re
fusal to resign his office. It is reported that
the revolutionists are receiving aid from
Costa Him , hut I have many reasons for dis
crediting this report.
Jlulliijr with nil Iron Jlund.
Socosa appointed Jose Madriz , his con
fidential agent at San Jose , Costa Ulca.
Madriz left Corinto , Nicaragua , on May 0 ,
and bore with him ofllcial dispatches to Dr.
Guzman , the Nicaragua ! ! minister ut Wash
ington. When ho reached San Juan del Sur
with his dispatches Madriz found that ho
was unable to cable to Minister Guzman because -
cause the revolutionists nro In possession of
the town and have established a censorship
over the telegraph and cable wires.
Generul Uonilla , who was in command at
Kiviis wtiru that town was surrendered ; ito
the revolutionists under Adofo Gucrra , hns
lied to Costa Rica , whcro his family will join
him. President Socosa Is ruling with an
Iron hand that part of Nicaragua over which
he now has control. No one is permitted to
show any sympathy for the revolutionists.
Socosa has ordered that 200 blows with 3.Ot
lash shall bo administered upon the backs ot
all who circulate reports unfavorable to the
government.
Corinto is being strongly fortlllod by the
government because an attack from the sea
is feared. The revolutionists having con
trol of San Juan del Suraro expected to send
a force by water to capture tno only sea port
of any consequence now held by the govern
ment. Socosa is haying great trouble in fol 1-
lowing the forced loan of fCOO.OOO jyhich 110
ordered. It Is not believed he can raise at
the outside moro than $150,000 , Ho is re
ported to have asked President Ezota of Sun
Salvador for assistance , but got no comfort
from that quarter.
J'ATIUOTIO YOUNCJ C/KCIIS.
They Vehemently Aa crt Thulr Itlghts In
the Hungarian Diet.
Piuat'E , May 17. The Bohemian Diet wet
tbo srono today of a display of violence atM
disorder unparalleled in the protracted and
bitter struggle for supremacy between the
Czech and German elements. A bill was before | -
fore the Diet , which conferred upon the
local tribunal at Trautouau , a town of Uolie-
mia , twcnty-fivo miles from Knnlggratz , 10r
tain powers intended to strengthen the
position of the Germans as against the
Czechs. Thu young Czechs carried on a reso
lute filibustering to prevent tbo passage oof
the bill.
Prince Lobowkitz , president of the Diet ,
who la an appolntoo of the Austrian emperor
and , therefore , attached to the German Interest
terest , rebuked the ulibusterera for their iUI
structlvo course 'niil ' insisted thnt Herr
Funkc , whom tha Committee had selected to
report the bill , should bo heard.
Herr Funko nntered the tribune and at
tempted to spc.ik ; He essayed to make him
self heard , and iomjo utterance by Funko
was construed by la Czech deputy named
Brzorad as alluding In n sarcastic manner to
him. The offended deputy did not appeal to
the chair , but climbed upon the tribune in
stead and seized Herr Funko. Brzorad nnd
Funko had a wrestling encounter in the
presence of their colleagues , who showed the
most intense excitement as the champion of
the Czechs struggled for the mastery with
the champion or the Germans. Brzorad suc
ceeded in ejecting Funko from the tribune
amid the intense delight of the Czechs.
Delicti 111 * Kuomlci.
Everybody In the house was shouting nnd
shaking fists and angry challenges to light
could be heard hero and there In the din.
Funkc , not subdued by his precipitate exit
from the tribune made himself heard on. the
floor and was gasping dcllanco at his ene
mies , when Czech Deputy Vasaty Inter-
ruplcd him with a largo pot of Ink. 1 Vasaty
aimed the ink pot at Funko , bat t the weapon
missed Funko and was smashed by collision
with a desk , the contents of the pot being
distributed over Funko and n number of
others In the vicinity nnd Interfering with
the harmony of their complexions , besides
spattering their clothes.
Encouraged by the discomfiture which
the ink pot had caused among their fees
the Czechs next attacked the stenographers
nnd maltreated several of them. Prlnco
Lobowkitz himself was menaced -with per
sonal violence nnd declared the sitting
closed. The prince has since been occupied
in the preliminary arrangements for duels
with several of his antagonists.
The scene In tho'Diet caused great excite
ment In the city. The students of the uni
versity broke out In riotous demonstration
nnd wrecked the windows of club houses
and of mansions of people obnoxious to
them. The police- are guarding the streets
In the vicinity of the building whore the
sessions of tbo Diet nro held. The Diet will
probably bo dissolved. It is stated that the
bill opposed by the young Czechs proposed
virtually to separate the northern district of
Bohemia In order to give the Germans con
trol over their local affairs.
SIR CHAHMCS JtUSSIiM/S ARGUMENT.
Another Lively Altercation llcforo tlto
Purio Court of Arbitration.
PAHIS , May 17. Sir Charles Husscll con
tinued his argument before the Bering sea
tribunal of arbitration today in behalf of the
British case. Ho presented additional docu
ments , designed to provo that Bering sea
was not a mare clausum , over which Hussia
had exercised sovereign domain. Sir Charles
said that ho regretted occupying the tlmo of
the tribunal to prove what was already abso
lutely clear , but as neither the tribunal nor
the counsel for the United States intimated
that the point had boon proved , ho could not
feel justified in leaving a stone unturned
In support of his argument. Great Britain ,
continued Sir Charles , had emphatically de
nied that Russia had uny right to the 100-
mile limit claimed in the ukase of 1821. The
duke of Wellington refused to negotiate the
treaty of 1825 until Russia withdrew her
pretension to the.100-milo limit , and Russia
admitted in 1825 that she had not the power
to interfere with foreign vessels fishing in
Bering sea. Sir Charles Russell quoted
from the American historian , Bancroft , and
from the Russian historian , Tikhmeuieff , In
support of his statements , which were con
troverted by American Agent Foster , a
lively altorcatto'a taking place between Mr.
Foster and Sir Charles as to the facls in re
lation to the Bering , sea. Sir Charles next
proceeded to discuss question 5 of article vl
of the treaty of 'Arbitration , which is as
follows : "Has the United , Stutejs ( iffy , and ,
if so , what right of protection or property in
the seals frequenting the islands of the
United States in Bering sea when they are
found outside the ordinary three-mile limit ? "
Sir Charles Uussell contended that the
question was simply whether the United
States had an exclusive right to take seals
in Bering sea. When the questions were
framed there was not n suggestion of prop
erty in the seals or in sealing. The United
States could not exclude other nations from
Berhifj sea unless she possessed sovereign
dominion over the sea , nnd such a claim be
yond the thrco-mllo Hmit was repugnant to
all principles of international law.
The tribunal has adjourned until Tuesday ,

With the opening of court this

that hofEtad been unable to complete the ox- j' ; '
nmlnatlon of the tabulations presented by
the respondents yesterday In which they '
had attempted to show the labors which '
they had performed during their respective
terms of olilccs. As far ns ho hud pursued
his Investigations ho had discovered numer
ous mistakes , nnd , besides , ho had nlso dls- ,
covered thnt the statements nnd tabulations'
failed to account for much of the coal , ng-
gregating thousands of dollars worth. In
addition to this the account of snmo tea
months had been entirely omitted.
Mr. Webster was upon his fetit In an In- '
slant to say thnt ho would have to examine \
the figures for the purpose of seeing who
was right and who was wrong.
No. ! ! 7n Conductor TcHtlllef. !
C. A. Day , ono of the B. ft M. conductors , . \
was the first witness. (
"Mr. Day , during 1S91 and 1893 , did you /
haul coal between Lincoln and the asylum ? " )
asked Mr. Webster.
"Yes , sir ; No. 'J7 , a local train , was sup
posed to do thnt work. "
"Did you ever find the asylum switch oc
cupied by cars ! "
Sometimes. "
"In those cases what did you do with
those cars ? " '
"I took them on to Stockwcll's switch. " '
, "How long would they remain thcro ! " ,
"Until the next day , or until the asylum
switch was empty. "
"How often did you take coal for the
asylum to the Stockwell nnd Dcuton.
;
switches i"
"I left cars nt Denton's once nnd nt Stock- ,
well's n number of times , but how often , I
could not say ? " . t
"Did you know If other conductors wore In.
the habit , of dqinc the snmo ? " j
Mxcould not say of my own knowledge , I
though I have seen messages Instructing (
thcjii to sidetrack cars at the two switches , " '
' " .JJid "you over observe the number of
teams unloading and .hauling coal from the j
asylum switch to the usylumi" [ I
" 1 have frequently seen teams unloading ; t
from six to eight teams sometimes. " (
Then Mr. Lainbertson cross-examined. !
"What do your train books show ? " i
' The number ol cars nnd where the curs ' ,
were left ; the book would show the number !
of the cars und -what loaded with ; we know ,
whcro each car is going. That book is kept
by myself nnd shows every ear haulqd ; l <
have carried my book for years and never
turned It In until n few days ugo , when the
train master asked for the hook. "
"Hnvo you risked the man to whom you
delivered that book where tl is now ? "
"Yes , sir ; he told mo it was In the office.1
"Which is the most reliable , your book or
the train forwarded book ! "
"My train book , "
"When you sign the train forwarded book ,
what do you slun for ? "
"The cars that are in my train. "
"What do you do with the way bill when
you don't have the cars ? "
' Sometimes 1 sign for ears that I don't re
ceive , nnd In signing thu train forwarded
book wo guess , though ns n rule we can rely
upon the boo't. "
'Do ' you check off the way bills shown by
that book ! "
"No ; that Is not my business. "
"When cars are taken past the asylum nnd
go to Stockwell's how long do they remain '
there ? "
"I can't say , though the car checker would j ;
catch them there , and If they went to thu i'
asylum he would catch them there , thus M
making u complete record. When I set out a j ,
car at Stockwell's 1 would send bacic.a mcs- \
sago , showing wherc.1 had loft the car. " J'
"You saw teams at the asylum ? "
"Yes , mornings I saw teams waiting to un
load coal ; that was ono year ago lubt win
ter.1
"Do you know how much coal ono team
would haul ? "
"About 4.r OP , but I don't know how many
loads they would haul tier day. "
Upon redirect examination Mr. Webster
ask ift "After examining the bills did you l
llnd cars for which you hud no bills ? " "
' Sometimes I would have cars which did
not appear on the train forwarded book :
cars which wcro tin-own on nto by an order. "
"When do you inalco up your book ? "
1'Right In the yard after my train is made
up , but I never check my boo c with the train
forwarded book , "
"How often will errors occur relotlvo to
your book and the number of cars in your
train ? "
"Sometimes once in two or three days ,
and again thcro will bo no mistakes fur
months. "
