Tho situation In southern Wyoming be

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16, Advices from
nil tcctlous of tho enstern parts of Pennsyl
vania oxer which Sunday nlghfs storm
raged furiously, nro to tho effect that tho
waters covering tho Hooded districts nro re
ceding nnd that railroad and telegraphic
communication nro slowly being restored.
The damage to property and the pecuni
ary loss from enforced suspension of many
Industries will rench hundreds of tliou-
nands of dollars. Dozens of coal mines
nro Hooded, along which hundreds of Indus
trial cencerna were locnted, along the water
way, thus throwing Idle thousands of men.
It In estimated that more than 40.000 per
sons havo been rendered Idle. Tho Susquo
hnnn.i, which rose nt some points twenty
nlno feet abovo low water mark, Is going
down gradually, except in tho lower end of
tho state, whore It Is reported to be rising
two Inches nn hour. Tho good reports from
up-river points, however, have nllayed fear
and the Indications nro that the routhern
cud of the stuto will suffer llltlo from the
swollen river.
Situation Improve.
Tho railroad situation Is gradually be
coming better. Up to C o clock tonight,
when tho Dolnwaro, Lackawannn & Western
railroad started a train for Now York,
direct communication with New York was
cut off from Scrnnton and Wllkesbarro and
trains were sent by wny of Sunbury, Har-
rlsburg and Philadelphia, n distance of 330
mllei. Tho direct ronto Is only 145 miles.
Tho Central Railroad of New Jersey Is
still tied up as far ns through servico is
concerned. Trains nro being run butweon
locnl pclntB. Tho Iohlgh Valley railroad
tonight opened lt through servico between
lluffalo and New York City by making n no
tour over branch lines, thus passing nround
tho flooded district.
Former Ameer llelil Vp.
Other railroads that are running trains
hnvo their schedules disarranged, which Is
causing considerable Inconvenience to trav
elers. An Incident of tho storm was tho
closing of tho llroad Street theater here
tonight. Frank Daniels' company was to
have opened ft two weeks' engagement to
night nnd the company left lluffalo on n spe
cial train nt S o'clock Sunduy morning via
tho Lehigh Valley railroad. The Hooded
section was reached nnd tho train could
proceed no further. The railroad company
lu Its endeavor to have tho actors get to
Philadelphia In time for a performance to
night hnd tho train transferred to three or
four different railroads and finally got It
to tho Now York Ccntrul nt a point In Now
York Htnte. The train reached Albany this
afternoon and thon proceeded to New York
City. Tho thcutrlcul company thero took a
train for Philadelphia nnd will reach hero
early In the morning.
IliiuilreilH Are llomelesn.
Talcs of narrow escapes from drowning
come from nil tho flooded districts. Hun
dreds of families In llttlo hamlets have been
deprived of their homes for tho tlmo being
by swollen strenms, and tho extremely cold
weather that hnH set In adds much to tho
suffering. At Newport, a omall vlllngo near
Allcntown, GOO Italians were surrounded by
water and wero prisoners In Ihclr homes
for thirty-six hours. At Jersey Shore 200
Italians working on tho railroad there wero
driven from their shanties by tho overflow

business In northwest Missouri ho says:
"Fewer peoplo arc engaged In tho busi
ness this season thnn usual around T.trklo,
but tho number of cattle fed is greater.
Tho high prlccB have driven the men who
feed from two to five cnrloads out of busi
ness, but tho larger feeders, taking nil-
vantage of tho condition, havo bought a
largo number of feeders and nro putting
fat upon them this winter. Corn is fed
only In part, tho mnjorlty of tho feeders
using moro cottonseed. It has been demon
strated thnt cottonseed can bo fed for 120
days without Injuring the stock, and every
farmer Is feeding this to the limit. Tarklo Is
headquarters for tho heaviest feeder In
tho west who raises his own feed. This
year he hns dot-erted corn to a great ex
tent and at one Invoice he received 200 (mm
of cottonseed, which bo Is feeding.
Feeders nro too hfgli on the Omaha
market compared with tho price of feed
and tho prices of fnt cattle, but even then
tho feeders will mako considerable. Around
Tarklo tho feeders have bought all of tho
cattle they can handle during tho winter,
and I nm now buying stock which will bo
carried over tho summer and fattened next
fall and winter. Tho stock wo aro now
feeding is principally 3-year-olds, nnd we
will hnvo tho sumo ago next season. There
Is much moro money In cnttlo of this ago
than In 2-year-olds, ns they fatten with less

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. Lato In tho day
Secretary Iong acknowledged lu an in
formal letter the receipt of n request from
Admiral Schley for permission to file a bill
of objections to thu recent decision of the
court of Inquiry. Tho secretary's responso
was brief nnd purely formal. It granted
tho request nnd allows until Frldny next In
which to submit thu bill.
Admiral Schley was In eonsultutlon nil
this forenoon with his counsel, Hon. I. Rny
ner and Mr. M. A. Teague; also General
Felix Angus of Rnlttmorc nnd Congressman
Schlrm of Maryland. After tho conference
Admiral Schley authorized Mr. Tcaguo to
mnko tho following statement:
"We havo been In consultation ns to
what further proceedings shall bo taken.
Noth ng definite hns becu decided upon so
far as civil or crlmlnnl notion of nny kind
against Mnclay and his sponsors are con
cerned. Mnclay's claim that the flnds of
tho court aro u vindication for himself and
his book Is nbsolutcly spurious. Thero nro
no less than half a dozen Instnnces In tho
book in which even If ho were to nccept
tho findings of the court nnd Incorporate
them in tho volume nnd chnngo it to suit
tho nndlngs tho book would still be crim
inal libel."
Since tho court of Inquiry rendered its
verdict Rear Admiral Schley has received a
large number of letters nnd telegrams, all
containing expressions of confidence nnd
eutceui and offers of nsslstunce. To answer
these personally would bo a work of such
magnitude that tho admiral has addressed
the following letter to the Associated
Press, which ho nsks to be published:
