la prevented from spreading over the ad
jacent bottom and setting acroaa them to
the river by the embankment of the Union
Paclflo Railway company topped the com
pany' grade thla morning; and eoon began
cutting lta way acroaa.
The railroad officials labored all day at
tempting to aave the grade and In addi
tion to a large force of men brought in. by
trains employed all the local laborer who
could be secured. Thousanda of bags of
an and tons of rock were used, but as
the wateri continued to rise It was seen
toward evening that the only way to ren
der the track paesable was to provide some
outlet for the water. The plledrlver was
Dressed Into service and Instead of at
tempting to hold the water In check It
was given' free vent through the grade to
the river and the company officials pro
ceeded to the construction of a temporary
pile bridge on which the track will be laid
as soon as completed.
With the cutting of tUe grade the water
commenced to recede slowly, but there la
such an Immense volume of It spread out
over the lowlands that It will be some time
tutors any considerable relief will be ex
perienced. '
The company officials In charge of 'the
work estimated late this evening that they
WOutd have repairs completed and the track
in condition for trains to pass by 1 or 1
o'clock Saturday morning.
AH trains from the weat were held here
today In hopes that the track would soon
be made paaaable. When It was seen that
' thla would require considerable more time
.the trains from the west were sent back
to Columbus and from there took the B. A
it., going east by wayf Lincoln. A train
load of sheep was unloaded at this point
and placed In the stockyards, where they
were fed and cared for until 'such time as
they can proceed to Omaha.
Thousands of acres of farm lands have
been overflowed by the water from Shell
creek and the loss to crops will be Im-
menee. No estimate of the loss can be
' made at this time, but the submerged
' country contains a large. amount of small
grain In the stack and shock which la
thoroughly' soaked, and It Is feared the
.corn will be mined If the water stands on
the ground for any length of time. A large
amount of hay will also be lost.

A special meeting of the city council was
" held last evening for the purpose of taking
soma action to get rid of the water on F
street, between the railroad tracks and
Third street. A survey was ordered made
and ditches will be dug to .take out tbe
. water. It la probable that In order to give
; permanent relief permission of the board of
1 supervisors , will have to be obtained to
J run the ditch outside of the city. J. D.
( West, who lives near Twelfth and Bell
' f treats, wanted something done, for hi
' part of the city right oft. '' He alarmed
that the city had neglected to keep .the
gutters cleaned out and consequently cel
lars, barns and some houses Were flooded.
He Intimated that the .people up there In
tended ' to ; hold the city liable. for dam
ages. The Elkhorn river. is 4ila,and con
siderable damage has been done by the

city. The family of Al Campbell was
forced to leave the house on account of
the water and 4 number of other families
had to take refuge In the second stories.
Farmers think that the rains will hurt corn
badly unless hot dry weather follows. Buvar
beets have been considerably damaged,
Several fields have been entirely under

as follows:

Ho Change by Missionaries.
BOSTON, Aug. 28. Rev. James L. Bar
ton, D. D., secretary of the American Board
of Missions, was tonight shown tbe Asso
ciated ress bulletin, from Constantinople
stating that Vice Consul Magelssen a$ Bey
root had not been assassinated as reported,
and was asked It this fact would . make
any change in the attitude of the Ameri
can board. Secretary Barton replied that
It would not, as all statements the board
had made and all representations, to our
government regarding matters, in Turkey
had been made before the board received
word of Mr. Magelssen's assassination.
Since then it bad no conference whatever
With the State department,

: MONTROSE, Pa., Aug. M.-Dr. H. H.
Jesaup, who recently returned from Bey
root, Turkey, In speaking today of the at
tempted assassination of Vice' Consul
MagelBsen said there is no evidence of any
popular uprising In Beyroot against either
Christian foreigners or Americans. There
is no opeclal hostility to America In Syria,
not even among Mohammedans, the lead
ing Mohammedans of Beyroot being among
our beet friends." He said: '"
I received today a letter from a nroml
nent Mohammedan In Beyroot congratu
lating me on the fact that my son Is going
to preach the gospel In Persia, although he
said he would prefer that he come to
yrla. The murderous attack on Mr.
Magelsaen, ao far as 1 can Judge, Is not
from any pupulur uprising, but the work
of some Individual, acting either through
personal revenge, or hired to do the deed
by ome unknown persons. Our consuls are
Instructed to protect .American citlsens.
Consul Ravendal and his brother-in-law,
Vice Consul Maarelssen. were most active In
securing the rights of every Syrian who
orougni proors or nis American citlsensnip,
There were frequent cases of defetidin
Syrian Americans.. In. almost all. of which
Mr. Magelsaen had been prominent, - and
this may have awakened the personal hos
tility of certain peritons who hired the
man to shoot him. It is notorious liv Bev-
root that no Moslem can ba punished fur
Killing a mristian. t ao not apprehend
any rising In Syria on account of the Mo-
bamnienrlan Insurrection. The visit of the
American fleet will have a most wholesome
effect, and it would be well if an Ameri
can ship could be stationed jn tbe Byrlan
coast. The American mlaslonaiies and
professors or the Protestant collene In Bev
root have alwaya taught the people loyalty
to their sovereign and obedience to tha Una
and the Americana residing in Turkey havd
almost without exception bean regarded by
the government and people as pursuing
legitimate peaoerui avocations ana aesiring

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 88.-The National
Fraternal congress meeting came to a close
tonight after action on the proposed uni
form: bill containing thirty-three sections.
Until section 30 was reached most of the
discussion was confined to legal phraseol
ogy. . Section 80 provides that all organiza
tions ; hereafter organized shall become
"registered, rate association." This means
the adoption of specified rates. Old organi
sations may become so at their option. Sec
tion 81 provides that all of these registered
rate associations shall file annual reports
from which the commissioner shall com
pute the net value of every certificate In
force among the members of the society.
If on such computation the commissioner
finds that the reserve of the society Is not
sufficient to cover the value of the cer
tificate, he shall order the deficiency made
up, or, the difference deducted from each
certificate. " Section 82 defines the word as
sociation aa used in the measure and sec
tion 38 repeals all laws In conflict with, the
measure.' . Section 31 waa adopted ' by a
vote of 104 to 87.

broke furiously. The houseboat slipped
Its moorings and traveled rapidly down
Stream for two miles, where its anchors
caught In the mud bottom. A few men
were on the boat, but they were powerless
and the stream waa too swift for assist
ance to be afforded by the tugs. The small

the tugs unsuccessfully and the search
will be resumed Saturday. The houseboat
Is now "nearer the Virginia shore, where
it will remain until after the experiment,

SEGREGATE INTERNAL REVENUE CASH
Secretary Shaw Adopts This Plan to
Be Able te Place Money In
Government Depositories
When heeded.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 It was said to
day at the Slate department that Minister
Conger had been instructed that he should
not be a consenting party to the surrender
of the six Chinese suspects arrested at
Shanghai, and put on trial before the mixed
court of the settlement, and of whom the
consular body of Shanghai refused to sur
render on the demand of the Chinese gov
ernment for punishment according to Chl-
nso custom. Minister Conger was In
structed to take the ground that the Ju
dicial proceedure which waa adopted un
der a formal agreement with the taotal of
Shanghai should be carried out with ap
propriate punishment In the settlement In
esse of conviction. This government, it
was stated today, has never departed from
its original position In the matter and never
haa had any intention of giving up these
men.
Segregate Internnl Revenue Receipts.
Tho published statement that Secretary
Shaw had decided that under existing laws
he was authorized to segregate government
receipts from internal revenue sources and
deposit the same at his discretion In na
tional bank depositories, does not raise a
new question, although such deposits as
hava been made heretofore had not been
previously covered Into the treasury. As
early as 1878, It Is said, the courts of the
United States held In effect that national
bank depositories are parts of the treasury
of the United States, so far as their au
thority to hold public deposits is concerned.
The secretary, so far aa cen be learned,
has not determined on the deposit of any
further funds with national banks, but has
decided that It Is well within his province
to make such deposits. With a view- of
meeting any money difficulties hereafter
he has segregated the Internal revenue 're
ceipts from other receipts and has -opened
a separate account In tho treasury ledger
so that In case of need he may know Just
what amounts are available for the pur
pose.

since midnight Tuesday, with all manner of
maneuvers by the navy, will come to an
end and the several thousand men hurried
to the defense of the city will be withdrawn
from the harbor defense. .
Today's movements consisted of a fierce
engagement during which a landing party
of 1,800 men under, Rear Admiral Coghlan
captured all tbe stations-and defenses of
the Scape and Spurwln.
These marines and Jackie landed almost
at dawn and were, engaged until after
noon, when, they returned. to the fleet, which
had remained off Richmond's Island all
day. Rear Admiral Coghlan believed he
had achieved the . grandest victory of the
navy,' but at S;45 Lieutenant Jordan, in
command of the engineer corps at the Two
Lights, was informed by telephone that
the umpires had decided that no landing
was effected by the Invaders, as the men
and boats had been put out of action before
the landing waa attempted. Therefore, the
capture of all the points on the cape In
cluding the signal, searchlight ana nre con

at Silver Springs, and ' the searchlight at
Pond Cove was void and they stand aa If
no attempt had been made at their cap
