! Thk last crop bulletin of tlie Xe
! brnska weather service says the past
' seven days, while far from favorable,
[ are slightly more encouraging thau
those of the preceding week, when cor
respondents were generally inclined to
overestimate the damage by the frosts
[ and ice of the morning of the 19th. As
j was predicted at the time, but little
serious injury has resulted to the corn
crop, and it has been necessary to re
plant only a very small acreage. The
fruit crop was badly damaged, but not
to so great an extent as was first re
ported. The entire state needs rain,
and badly in all sections except the
! northern portion, where they have been

is generally up to a good st&nd, and

•FEARFUL DESTRUCTION.
A XoM tff VS,000,000 In 'Onloniito by the
Flood*. •
Dkn'ver, -Col., June' 2.—Trom nil
parts of the state come reports of
ruin from floods clue to the heavy
rains of the past few clays anil con
servative estimates place the total
losses at $5,000,000. At least four
lives have so far been lost but many
are missing’ aiul the death list may be
greatly increased. In this city the
Platte river continued to rise until 3
o’clock this morning and a raging tor
rent is pouring through the lowlands.
Colfax and Jerome park were flooded
ut JI o'clock last night and the people
living on the low ground had to Hee
for their lives. The railway embank
ment was washed nwuy in places and
bridges were badly damaged. The
loss will not he very great but the in
convenience will be extreme. In
Jerome park and vicinity 175 families
were driven ont of their houses and
camped on higher ground. As many
more families living on the river bot
toms of this city also lied to higher
ground. Edward Whiteman, a boy,
fell into the torrent and was drowned
but no other fatalities have been re
ported here.
rorty lumuies who sougnt snellcr
in the sliool house at Jerome park are
isolated to-day, the building bein'*
surrounded by water. Over 100 per
sons rendered homeless by the floods
have applied to the county commis
sioners for aid.
At Colorado Springs Chicago creek
and Clear crook are raging torrents.
Houses, trees and telegraph poles are
going down before the flood, and
thousands of dollars' worth of proper
ty has been destroyed. Many mines
have been flooded and tunnels have
caved in. Freight and passenger
trains are many hours late.
At Loveland the ltig Thompson has
spread all over the bottom lands, the
stream being higher than at any time
since 1876. The Home Supply ditch
has been broken and the water works
are twenty-live feet under water.
This ditch supplies a large fanning
territory .and cannot be repaired un
til after harvest.
At Colorado City, Fountain Qui
Iiouille has overflowed its banks.
The residence of John Herrington
full into the stream.and was instant
ly demolished.
At Manitou business is practically
suspended and hundreds of men are
working to save their property. The
stream from Williams canon is rush
ing over Mineral Water park, cover
ing the grass with gravel. Tons of
earth have been torn from the pavilion
grounds. Dynamite hus been used
frequently to demolish gorges. The
damage to streets, parks and private
property cannot be estimated.
At Boulder the pipe factory, five
houses, the railroad tracks and all the
city and railroad bridges have been
washed away by the flood in lioulder
creek. Poverty flats are submerged.
No lives were lost. The Sunset branch
of the (lulf railroad .aud the Moun
tain road is entirely gone.
The towns of Chrisman and Salina,
mining camps in Boulder canon, the
former six and the latter nine miles
from Boulder, liuve been wiped out of
existence. They had a population of
about 'JUO, who are now homeless.
Many placer mines .arc ruined. The
total loss in and around Boulder is
estimated at $500,000. Boulder has
had no communication with Denver or
any outside .point since Wednesday
until to-day, as the telegraph wires
were down and the roads impassable.
All the crops in the St.Vrain valley,
one of the richest grain regions in the
stute, have been destroyed by the
flood. The loss is very heavy.
The damage to the mountain roads'
by the floods is the heaviest ex
perienced in .this state. The South
Park Branch of the Union Pacific is
under water from Wheatland to Pine
Grove, a distance of thirty miles.
In Pueblo three lives were lost, but
the property damage is only about
one-tenth what it was estimated at
yesterday.
COL. MOOKK’S CASK,
It Will 'be Difficult ta Obtain a Majority
Report for lilui.
WAsmxoTos, jane S.—Colonel H.
t,. Moore of Lawrence, who - is con
testing Fun Eton's seat in congress, is
having no end of trouble. Several of
the Democrats have kicked clear out
of harness and his friends on the com
mittee fear that it will be difficult to
obtain a majority report. Paynter of
Kentucky, has espoused Funston’s
side of the controversy, and several
of the other Democrats are lukewarm
in Moore's support. This is especially
true of Democrats who have Populists
to fear in their districts aDd look with
disfavor on the fusion deal.
Another effort will be made to get
a favorable report on Colonel Moore's
case Tuesday. Before it can be done,
however, it will be necessary to satis
fy the opposition to Moore in the Dem
ocratic ranks.

in tha Small Attenilaiiee. Only
About 1,000 I'cople lining
Present—lleuilullons,
Xkw York, June 4,—The business
men's meeting in Carnegie Music, hall
last evening to protest against the in
come tux feature of the proposed tariff
i bill was notable for the character of
the audience, number and enthusiasm
of those who attended. The call was
signed by nearly 500 representatives
of the largest business interests of the
city. The platform was crowded with
gentlemen influential in the business
walks of life. Preparations had been
made to accommodate the crowds
that hud been expected, speakers hav
ing' been selected to address an over
flow meeting should the hall prove of
insufficient capacity.
It was something disappointing that
the promoters waited for the crowds
to cotne, and the speaking, which was
to begin at 8 o’clock, was delayed half
an hour. At that time the auditorium
contained about 1,000 people.
Colonel William L. Strong, president
of the Central National bank, called
the meeting to order, and nominated
for chairman, President 12van Thomas,
of the Produce exchange, and for sec
retary, Ed ward O' Dwyer, of the Dem
ocratic club.
Senator Hill wrote: “1 regret that
official engagements will prevent ac
ceptance of your courteous invitation
to be present at the meeting of the
business men on Friday to protest
against the incorporation of an in
come tax in the pending tariff bill.
“I need hardly assure you that I am
heartily in sympathy with the pur
pose of your meeting. An income tax
feature has no proper, legitimate
place in a tariff reform bill. It en
genders and embarrasses an honest,
equitable revisiou of our tariff laws,
which was expected, if not desired,by
the citizens of all parties.
“The unfortunate effort to incor
porate it in the pending measure has
delayed a speedy disposition of the
tariff subject, and induced a surrender
of nearly every correct and consistent
principle upon which a tariff reform
should be based.
“It is clear that it would not be
adopted by congress if senators would
vote according to their own conscien
tious convictions rather that in pursu
ance of a dicker, and a contemptible
compromise founded upon no princi
ple, and tolerated only as a misera
ble makeshift or excused only as a
temporary expedient.
“1 am opposed to compromise where
•questions of essential principles are
involved.
“It is immaterial whether this
scheme is popular or unpopular; or
whether it taxes the many for the
benefit of the few, or the few for the
benefit of the many, it is equally
indefensible, vieious and unreason
able.
“As a representative, a citizen and
a partisian I have opposed this in
come tax fully from the start. I am
opposing it now and shall continue
my opposition to the end. I remain
your fellow citizen. Davit) Him,.”
Speeches were also made by Presi
dent Waldo Smith, of the Wholesale
Grocers’ association: Professor T.
Lewis, in behalf of the insurance com
panies; Lewis Windinuller, of the
Reform club; Frederick Taylor, on be
half of the bankers and brokers of
Wall street; Lawyer Stern, John P.
Townsend, of the llowery Savings
bank; Chairman Evan Thomas and
others, all in a vein of earnest oppo
sition to the income tax. In addition
to the resolution drawn up several
days, ago memorializing congress
against the income tax of the pend
ing tariff bill, the following was
adopted: *
“Resolved, That we call upon ail the
business associations and organiza
tions of the several cities of the
union to organize without delay, by
mass meetings similar to our own, to
voice the protest of the commercial
interests affected so injuriously by
the proposed income tax law."
Secretary O'Dwyer said he had
letters and telegrams from business
men and corporations all over the
country.

CARRYING OUT BLAINE’S IDEAS
Ei-Mpraker Herd's Sliver-Tariff Policy
That of the Maine statesman.
■Washington, June 4.—The utter
ances of ex-Speaker Reed, Senator
Lodge, Representatives Harrows and
Cannon anti other Republican leaders
in favor of a freer use of silver are
regarded in congressional circles as a
revival of the plans and aspirations
of James (1. HI nine to unite the
nutions of the Western hemisphere by
means of inter-continental railroads,
reciprocal treaties and a common
medium of exchange.
Representative Hitt of Illinois, who
was closely associated with Mr.Blaine,
says that the proposition of Mr. Reed
is on the lines of Mr. Blaine's policy.
The latter was never fully spread be
fore the public as it had a scope that
could be developed only by patience
and by slow stages, anil Mr. Blaine's
health during his latter days was not
such as to permit him to accomplish
the ends he had in view. “Mr. Reed
now presents the proposition with di
rectness,” said he, “whereas Mr.
Blaine proposed passive steps which
tended toward the same general re
sults. It was Mr. Blaine’s be
lief that the nations of the
Western hemisphere should be re
ciprocally united in their commercial
dealings, in their money, in their rail
roads and in all lines of action which
would make them strong against the
rest of the world. Most of the South
ern republics were ready lor mutual
action on silver, as they are silver
using countries, but they were not
ready for discriminating tariffs which
would cut them off from the import
duties on vvhieli they largely depend.
The reciprocity treaties were a step
in the direction of that mutual co-op
eration. Mr. Blaine's speeeh before
the Pan-American conference dis
closed that his policy embraced united
action on silver, on the tariff, and on
all subjects in which Western nations
had a common purpose.”
great tieai oi significance is given
to the Reed interview by many public
men here. For several months there
has b?en a growing sentiment among
the Republican members in favor of a
liberal policy towards silver. Among
Mr. Reed’s most intimate and constant
associates in the house of late have
been Representative Xewland of Ne
vada and Sweet of Idaho, who are
radical supporters of silver. The ex
speaker has made a study of the silver
question from the standpoint of the
miner and Western member until he
is said to have a mastery of the intri
cacies of the question quite e qual to
that of Mr. Bland.
HILL AFTER OPEN INQUIRY.
The New Yorker Pleads for a Public In
vestigation—The Sugar Debate.
Washington, June 4.—At the open
ing of the senate session to-day Mr.
Hill's joint resolution authorizing the
secretary of war to institute proceed
ings in condemnation' to secure pos
session of portions of the battlefield
of Gettysburg was adopted. Then he
called up his resolution directing the
special committee investigating the
charges of bribery, senatorial specula
tion and the influence of the sugar
trust in the framing of the
sugar schedule to throw open
its doors while the testimony
was being taken, and ar
gued that the terms of the resolution
neither authorized nor refused au
thority for secret sessions. He held
that in fairness to the witnesses and
others the committee sessions should
be open. Nine-tenths of all the in
vestigations in the last twenty years
by senate committee had been open.
Mr. Gray, chairman of the commit
tee, spoke in favor of secret sessions
and then the matter went over until
Monday, giving place to the tariff bill.
Mr. Aldrich made a short and vig
orous talk on the sugar schedule and
spoke in favor of bounties. Mr. Caf
fery of Louisiana followed and de
fended the protective duty as against
the bounty system. He drew a run
ning fire from Messrs. Aldrich and
Allison. He said public opinion wag
against bounties.

MR. SIMPSON VERY FRAIL
The Kansas Congressman a Ken Shulol
—Not Able to Get Up.
Washington, May 31.—'‘'Simpsoi
doesn’t weigh sixty-five pounds now.'
said Congressman Pence of Colorado,
to-day. “Kansas wouldn’t know him.
I am going down to Berkely Spring
with him to-morrow. He is goinj
there instead of to White Sulphur be
cause it is closer to Washington. No
he isn’t on his feet yet. The report
that represented him as wall™
around the house are flattering, bu
untrue. However, his doctor think
he is Out of danger, his family think
he is out of danger, he thinks he i
out of danger and I think ho is outo
danger; so I guess it’s all right.”
Thomas A. Janvier, since first t
masqueraded as ‘‘Ivory Black” and pit
tured such quaint phases of New Yoi
life as catch only an artist’s eye, hi
led his readers through old Mexico an
on an embassy to Minstral in Proven®
But now he comes back to Now Vo:
once more, and writes of "A Low>'
Half-Orphans” for the Century. It
story begins in the May number wit
an account of the founding of a not
worthy charity, the John L Have
wood Female Half-Orphanage and be
tituteCat Home. Mr. Haverwood <k
voted his energies and his income
the collection of gorgeously frame
old masters—“every one of which ni
faded almost to the vanishing P011
and was as brown as a bun.’
