Startling State of Affairs In a Num ber of Alabama Counties. Hubert Kncllnh iuiiI 111 Ten Children Held In Slavery hy Marlon I'mntwoml. Who Has Horn Arrested by tlio Federal OIllcorH. Troy, Ala., Sept. 1. Tho evidence In the case of the United States ngalnst Marlon Prustwood, a wealthy planter and turpentine oporator, which was hoard before Federal Commissioner Tutwllor, shows that poor whites as well as negroes nro being hold In slavery In Alabama. Prcstwood was charged with holding Robert English, a wh! to man, and his' family of ten children fn peonage. Tho ovldenco showed that Prcstwood made a con tract with English In 1902 by which the former was to furnish tho English family with rations In consideration of tho latter working 00 acres on shares. When tho crop was made Prcstwood ceased to furnish rations and seized tho crop. When tho English family tried to sc curo work to save themselves from starving Prcstwood had the old man and six boys arrested, accusing them of burning turpentlno boxes valued at $10. This chargo, Prcstwood admitted to Commissioner Tutwllor, was ground less. After tho nrrest Prcstwood told tho men that as ho controlled tho mag istrate ho could send them to the peni tentiary, but ho said that If tho family would sign a contract to work for him until 1905, to repay tho ?IG, ho would furnish them what thoy had, to eat. Tho father and his sons being fright ened signed tho contract, and havo Binco been at work for Pres'twood. Tho EngllshH swdro that they never had enough to eat nnd their looks sustained the statement. Thoy wero sallow-faced, hollow-eyed and their lips as white as their shirts. Prcst wood was placed under heavy bond, lie Is worth $100,000. Federal officers say that poor whites arc bolng hold as peons In a number of counties. LIVE STOCK MOVES RAPIDLY.

CHANNELS AEE DEEP. Why the High Water of 1903 Was r So Disastrous. Wenthcr Hurenii Ofllclnl Say Water Wan Higher In JH-J'I Thau In UK).', Hot This Year tho Swift Current Canned Greater Havoc. Washington Aug. 31. Dy far tho most comprehensive Hood report over submitted by the weather bureau has been sent to the public printer. It was prepared by Dr. Frankenfleld, fore caster for tho department, and dis cusses In Its practical, as well as its Bcleutlllc phases, the floods in the Kaw, Missouri and Mississippi. His roport will show that the spring floods of 1903 In tho Mlsourl and Kaw rivers and upper Mississippi wero the most destructive In tho history of tho coun try nnd wero tho greatest In tho vol ume of water, with tho exception of 1844. Tho lact that a lesser volume of water In 1903 created greater havoc Is due to the narrowing of tho channels of tho river by tho march of civiliza tion up and down tho water courses and the reclamation of lowlands. Dr. Frankenfleld corrects an erroneous popular Impression that forests mako rains. Ho says that while thoy do not make rains, they are valuable In that they retaiu tho moisture. In recent yenrs tho denuding of the forests makes It possible for the water to reach the water courses much quicker than when there were extensive forests. This causes quicker rises In the water courses and enlarges the possibilities of destruction. I In support of the assertion that there was a greater volume of water In tho flood of 1814 than In that at Kansas City of this year, Dr. Frankenfleld says that tho water was two feet higher at Kansas City than this year and 3. feet higher at St. Louis. Recent years havo seen tho river at Kansas City re duced in width from 2,000 to 1,100 feet. This illustrates the contraction of the water course and the resultant Increase In tho speed of the current. There wero 10 bridges swept from their foundations by the Kaw river during this year's flood. The report says that tho Rock Island bridge at Topeka formed a perfe'et dam, over which there was a two-foot fall of water. The report asserts that the total loss from the Hoods In the upper river was In round number $40,000,000. This is neither speculative nor an estimate, but Is based upon actual investigation by the observers of tho weather bu reau. Tho loss In the vicinity of To pekar Des Moines and Kansas City was largely to crops, railroad rights-of-way and bridges and to the commercial Interests along tho river. A loss of $11,500,000 was sustained between Han nibal and St. Louis on the Mississippi and between Alton and Kansas City on tho Missouri. Tho loss in the Im mediate vicinity of Kansas City was $15,500,000. PREACHING A HOLY WAR. TeaehvrK in the Mosque at Kossavo Say That tho l'coplo Must Kill the Chris tians in 'tho Vilayet. Sofia, Aug. 31. According to the Dnovnik tho hodja (teachers attached to -tho mosque) In tho 'vilayet of Kossavo are preaching that the time lor a holy war has come and that the people must be ready to kill the Christians in tho vilayet. The insur gents have blown up tho barracks at Ghloktlpo, near Malkcternovo, killing CO soldiers. They also attacked and set fire to tho Turkish camps at Egrlpalanka, Kratovo and Kotchonl. A great panic ensued, the "troops firing Into each other. The Bulgarian Insurgents sustained a severe reverse at Smllovo, 1,000 of them being killed. Caleb I'nwoYn Sentenced to Ilnnc. Georgetown, Ky Aug. 31.

After a declaration of the prisoner, "I am not guilty, judge," tho court fixed November 25 next as tho day for tho execution of tho death sen tence. Disaster to Blown-can Troops. Paris, Aug. 30. A dispatch from Morocco says that a largo Imperial force which was going to the relief of tho troops commanded by tho sultan has been surprised and almost anni hilated by Insurgents.
