In Order to Prejudice lb Na
tives at Mukden Against
the Japanese. '
NEW CHWANO, June 8. Sunday morning-.
Two carrier pigeons arrived yesterday
noon from General Stoessel nt Tort Arthur.
Tho Russians will not divulge the message
carried by the birds, but declare they con
tain (rood Information and are very cheerful
alnce the pigeons arrived.
An Aasoclated Press mess?nger from the
north rennrts that the magistrates of Hal
Cheng and Llao Yang were recently ar
rested by the Russians and ensrgea wun
furnishing supplies and Information to the
enemy. They were taken to Mukden, but
released after an Investigation. Influential
natives declare that the arrests were not
made because the Russians believed they
could prove the charges, but because the
magistrates were noncommltal and re
fused to aid either aide.
The Russians are printing a newspaper
In Chinese at Mukden for the purpose of
Influencing the natives. The latest copy
received at New Chwang says that Japan
attempted to float a second loan In America
for $3,760,000. but was coldly rejected. Other
contents of the paper explains that the
Russian loss In the Tula battle was due
to the preponderence of Japanese cavalry,
and says also that the Russians will soon
dictate peace terms In Toklo and that the
leading Japanese statesmen will be reduced
to ricksha coolies.
Ilusaluna Erection; Wireless Stattons.
TOKIO, June 6.-4:80 p. m. It Is suspected
here that the Russians at Port Arthur are
communicating with points on the Chinese
coast by means of wireless telegraphy. It
was reported that a wireless station had
been erected secretly at the village of Peh
Wang, on Takln Island, one of the Mlao
Tao group, situated In Pe Chi 14 strait,
and the Japanese cruiser Chltose visited
the Island yesterday to Investigate. It
did not, however, find anything. It Is re
ported that another such station has been
erected near Shan Hal Kwan, and the
Japanese are Investigating this matter.
Yesterday the Chltose steamed In close
to Llaote Shan promontory and discovered
four masts and a watch house near the
coast. One of these masts evidently was
fitted for wireless telegraphy operations.
The Chltose reports having heard of serious
xploflton-H Port Arthur nud believes
them to have resulted from blastings pre
paratory to the emplacement of new bat
teries, s
Divers Searching for Mines.
The Japanese torpedo boat destroyer
IkazuchI yesterday discovered and exploded
a large mine off San Shan Island, at the
entrance to Tallenwan bay. The Japanese
naval authorities engaged in clearing out
the mines In the vicinity of Tallenwan bay
are employing Japanese shell divers from
Kushlu for the purpose.
These divers volunteered for this work
and are wonderfully expert. . It is said
that with their diving apparatus they can
stay under water for half a day at a
time. Hundreds of Japanese fishermen
are volunteering to assist In clearing away
Russian mines and It Is probable that some
of them will be used for this work. These
voluntary offers are taken to Illustrate the
unity of the Japanese people in the war.
Rasslana Retreat Before Japs.
I p. m- The Japanese and Russian forces
located north of Pulantlen, which were In
a series of brushes during the early part
of last week, had another encounter on
Friday, June 3, near Chu Chla Tun. On
that day the Japanese cavalrymen met
the Russians at noon. The Ruslans num
bered 1000 men and were composed of in
fantry detachments of cavalry and ar
tillery. They were pressing the Japanese
cavalry when the Japanese assembled their
entire force and engaged the enemy.
Th Russians drew off gradually and at
half past Ave In the afternoon yiey retired
to Tellhu. The Japanese lost four men
killed and four wounded. A report has
beon received here from General Kurokl
saying that on Friday last a .detachment
was dispatched from At Tank Cheng (Al
Tang Pienmen) to the northeast of Feng
Wang Cheng, to make a reconnalsance to
ward ChaimatHl (SI Matsl, thirty-five miles
north of Feng Wang Cheng). This de
tachment encountered 600 Cossacks and
after a brisk engagement the Russians re
treated. .
General Kurokl reports that the Russian
loss wss heavy. The Japanese suffered one
tnan killed and three wounded.
TWO ARMIES ARB SOW IX TOUCH
i
Japanese Said to Ot Within Seven
Miles of Port Arthnr.
CHEE FOO, June 8. But two miles sepa
rated the Japanese and Russian armies on
the Llao Tung peninsula on June 2, ac
cording to Chinese who hsve arrived' here
from Dalny.
The Japanese army, reinforced by the
men who landed at Dalny. occupied Twlng
Chlng and also Sunchlmpo, several miles
west of Dalny. They then proceeded along
the coast toward Port Arthur. On ono
side of the army are high mountains and
on the other side is the sea, from which
the Japanese gunboats are supporting the
flunk of the army.
On June S the Japanese forces were
within seven miles of the outer forts of
port Arthur, only two miles from the
Russian army, which Is ready to contest
their further advance. The Chinese be
lieved that there would be a big battle at
this point. It la sIko stated by the Chinese
thst the Japanese have moved their base

Japanese ships are anchored outside and
tho smaller ones Inside the harbor. Troops

Lack of Sews Inilrates Something Is
rirewlna-.
LONDON, June . As the curtain Is
wn again over the progress of the war
robabIy Indicates that Important events
re Impending or afoot. The explosions
heard at Port Arthur siiKRest that the
Russians have renewed their attempts to
remove obstructions in the mouth of the
harbor. All kinds of rumors are current,
few of which appear to have any reliable
basis.
Various special correspondents In St. Pe
tersburg report Increasing depression In
Russia over the situation at Port Arthur,
and say that reports are In circulation as
to dissensions between the generals and
the highest officials over questions of policy
and strategy.
The Dally Mail gives great prominence
to a statement "from a Russian corres
pondent," declaring that Russia will stand
or fall by Port Arthur ss far as the
government's prestige with the lower
classes Is concerned. "Internal troubles
are Inevitable," the correspondent says,
"should the fortress fall. Count Lams
dorff displays a strong personality, but his
position Is precarious and he Is likely to
he sacrificed as a scapegoat to popular
Indignation at the way the war has been
conducted. Although it is said that Gen
eral Kouropatkin has lost favor at court
no change In the commandershlp of the
army Is contemplated."
The St. Petersburg correspondent of
Reuter'a telegram agency says Intense In
terest In taken In the restlessness of the
Chinese. The Morning Post's St. Peters
burg correspondent goes so far as to say
that Russia is preparing to cope with a
serious Chinese Invasion.
A dispatch to the Standard asserts that
no preparations have been made to organ
ize a transport service down the Sungari
and Amur rivers. Great Indignation is felt
that several wealthy Russian firms hnd
"secretly assisted In the recent Japanese
loan."
A dispatch to the Morning Post from
Shanghai says that some of the warships
at Port Arthur have been beached and
their guns removed to the land works.
This Shanghai correspondent also says that
Field Marshal Tamngata has been ap
pointed viceroy of the territories Japan
has occupied since the war began. This is
the only reference this morning to the
statement of the Dally Express Baturday
morning that Field Marshal Tamngata had
been appointed commander-in-chief of the
Japanese army of invasion.
The Standard's Tien Tsln correspondent
reports that the Russians are being gradu
ally withdrawn northward, the Russians
being aware that a strong force of Japanese
Is gathering In the passes northeast of
Mukden.
GENERAL Kl'ROKI HAS BEE ILL
Information that He Is Recovering
from Fever.
PARIS, June 6. The St. Petersburg cor
respondent of the Echo says, according to
Information received here General Kurokl
has suffered from a mild attack of typhus
fever, but he has now recovered.
, The general belief Is that General Kou
ropatkin will not advance to the relief of
Fort Arthur. In any case orders to do so
have not yet been transmitted.
It is rumored that the army corps of the
St. Petersburg dlatrlot will be- mobilised
shortly. " I have reason to believe that two
other army corps in the central districts
will also be mobilised.
SIGNS OF BATTLE- AT PORT ARTHUR
Heavy Explosions nnd Dense Smoke

WASHINGTON, June 6. The Japanese
legation' today received the following ca
blegram from the home government at
Toklo, bearing on events at Port Arthur:

BOY WITH BALLSTARTS RIOT
Four Men Wounded nnd Fourteen
Others Are Arrested as n
Result.
NEW TORK, June 6. A boy with a basa
ball started a riot near Pier No. 42, North
River, tlate today, as the result of which
four Italians received bullet wounds and
were taken to the hospital and fourteen of
their countrymen are under arrest.
The boy threw the ball at a group of
150 Italian coal passers who were leaving
the pier, and It struck one of the men
on the leg. The Itallun drew a stiletto
and ran after the boy, but was caught
by a policeman. The Italians then knocked
the policeman down and other policemen
charged the crowd. Both sides drew re
volvers and four Italians were wounded.
The others were driven aboard the Cunard
liner Slavonla. Owing to the fact thut
the Italians threw their revolvers Into the
river as soon as the chambers were emp
tied none were found on the prisoners, but
every man had a stiletto and some of
thorn had two. One policeman was seri
ously hurt. It Is thought the wounded
Italians will recover.

PRIVILEGE ENJOYED BY THE PUBLIC
Campaign Started Against Obscene or
Lewd Advertisements Which Are
Refused by Reputable
Newspapers,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, June . (Special.) A
great deal of ' misinformation has been
published recently concerning the Inten
tions of the Post office department toward
certain medical preparations extensively
advertised in the newspapers.
A few months ago the health depart
ment of the city of Salt Lake City caused
analysis to be made of many of the "pat
ent" medicines offered for sale In the drug
stores of that city. Extracts from the
Salt Lake City reports were sent to the
FostotTlce department here, and they
showed that some of the most widely ad
vertised preparations have little or no
medlcaj value. Later other cities followed
the lead of Salt Lake City, and similar
reports were received from them. But the
department realizes that a very large pro
portion of the population prefers to be
tooled rather than to be deprived of the
privilege of buying nure-alls. It Is not,
nor has It ever been the Intention of the
department to Interfere with remedies of
this character, even though , the manu
facturers at times have the nerve to
charge $1 for 1 cent's worth of drugs.
The alderman who desires to have his por
trait printed with a certificate of the cure
of a disease which he never had may still
do so without danger of depriving the
newspaper which published his picture of
the privileges of the mails.
But there is a certain olass of adver
tisers who have sprung up like mush
rooms lately and who approach very closely
to the borders of obscenity in their ad
vertising matter. Scores of reputable
newspapers have refused to admit this
class of advertising to their columns. But
others are less conscientious, and it Is
these which the department propose to
reach. Lewd and obscene advertisements,
If published, will bring about depriva
tions of mail privileges to publishers, and
the tdvertisers will, In addition, find all
mall matter addressed to them withheld.
The power Is vested in the department
and it will be exercised. The man who
can be cured of the mullygrubs by one
box of bread pills will still enjoy the priv
ilege of reading his favorite literature and
the advertiser who accommodates him will
not be deprived of his Inalienable right to
humbug the public, providing he commits
no direct fraud and is careful to keep
bis announcements within the pale of de
cency. Chance for Some Fighting.
With a clean bill of health, so far as
dlplomatlo relations with all South Amlr
lca, Europe and Asia are concerned. It
Seems likely that the United States will
once mora clash arms with northern
Africa. Within the past year Secretary
Hay has demonstrated vary forcefully to
the sultan of Turkey that American citl
sens will be protected, no matter where
they may be or what may have been the
country of their nativity. Today he has
taken steps to convince the sultan of
Morocco that the naval demonstration at
Beirut will be repeated at Tangier unless
the safety of Ion Perdicarls is assured.
Already the United States has a squadron
on the scene capable of demolishing the
Moorish city, and other vessels are on the
way thither, which will give this country
a force of blue jackets and marines num
bering about 6,000, and fit to cope with
five times that number of the Africans.
In the meantime aegotlations are pend
ing between the representatives of France
and the State department which, it Is
believed, will result In the hearty co
operation of the French with the forces of
the United States. France has established
a virtual protectorate over Morocco, which
makes her morally responsible for the life
and liberty of the foreigners within the
borders of the sultan's dominions, and
France Is apparently willing to acquiesce
in the plans of this country to secure the
safety of the captured American and his
foster son. An official of the State de
partment said today": "There is perfect
accord between this government and that
of France to all appearances, and he lat
ter agrees that this country has an abso
lute right to land forces upon the soil of
Morocco for the purpose of protecting the
liberty and life of our citizens. If It is
found necessary to take drastic steps It
will be found that France will offer no
protest."
The administration Is not disposed to
show Its hand, however, and beyond the
fact that a very large fleet has been or
dered to Tangier little Information Is given
out officially as to the program to be fol
lowed. But there will be no more of thS
Miss Stone foolishness. Perdicarls may be
ransomed, but if the Bandit Ralsult Is en
riched through his seizure of the American
It will not be Arrerlcan gold which will
line his coffers.
Owing to the absence of the members
of the British Embassy It cannot be
learned positively what steps have been
taken by England toward securing the
snfety of Cromwell Varley, but should It
be deemed necessary to rroceed Into the
mountains to reae'i Rnlsull It Is almost
certain that the expedition will consist of
a mixed force of American and Brltinh
sslWs and marines, with a strong nrob.
j shinty of the eo-operatlon of French sol.
I fliers f-om A'glers. who are fnmllfnr with
the military methods of the tribe from
which the bsndlts are recruited and nre.
besides, acclimated to the country In which
the conflict, now apparently Inevitable,
will occur.
Tleup of Lake Truffle,
"The newspapers of the country have a
great deal to say about the railroad strike
In New England," said an offlclnl of the
Department of Commerce today, "Yet
comparatively little space Is devoted to the
great tleup on the lakes. The lake strike
Is one of the most Important labor move
ments this country has known In years.
Its effects reach from the northwestern
extremity of the wheat and corn bolts to
the Atlantic seaboard. Lake traffic Is abso
lutely crippled and the trunk line railroads
have all suffered to a grenter or less ex
tent in consequence. The strike Is re
markable in that It has served to pl.ice
the ship captains heretofore un autocrat
on a level below his subordinates. The
Masters' and Pilots' association Is nn
organisation of the captains and mates of
the lake vessels. There are at least two
pilots to one master and as a consequence
the latter are Invariably outvoted two to
one. It seems unreasonable that such a
state of affairs should exist, but so thor

JACKSONIANS ARE DISTURBED
Wrought Up Over Gambling- Salt

Publication.
Members of the Jarksonlan club contin
ued In commotion yesterday over the suit
filed against the club in federal court.
charging that through the regular alleged
gambling adjunct maintained by the club
at least one Individual, Robert G. Ross, has
been fleeced out of 12,000. The most con
splcubus feature yesterday seemed to be
the fact that the World-Herald, whose
editors aro members ofthe club, sought to
sur;ire.s the news story by reducing It to
a six-line Item stuck In an obscure corner
of the paper.
"This thing Is likely to smash the Jack
son lan club," remarked a member yester
day morning In a downtown barber shop.
"If It does not smash it. it will have tho
effect of driving a lot of church-going mem
bers away, who have resented association
with poker gamblers from the start. The
'kitty' is doomed to exile, no matter what
happens."
Another Jacksonlan discussing the affair
with evident disgust, said:
"It Is a singular fact that of ell the
presidents of this club from Mahoney down
to Hippie and Weaver, the only one who
ever graced the poker tables was I. J. Dunn,
now posing as a reformer and tiger exter
minator." One of the members who is made a de
fendant in this suit, said he had not been
in the rooms for three years. Evidently he
sat down at the table just at the wrong
time.
Another feature of the exposure brought
out by the suit that caused comment was
the fact that In the recent proclamation of
the Civic Federation addressed to Chief of
Police Donahue enumerating the gambling
resorts said to have been uncovered by
their detectives, the Jacksonlan club wat

lawyers who prepared the document, who

accusing Chief Donahue of protecting
others said to exist.

RIOT INSTEAD OF BULL F1CI1T
Inoeniti Mob Firei World's Fair Building
at St. Louis.
GOVERNOR D0CKERY STOPS THE SHOW
Angry nnd Disappointed Crowd
Wrecks Building and Then Ap
plies Torch, Causing; Loss
of
ST. LOUIS, June 6. Incensed over their
failure to see a "genuine Spanish ball
fight," which the authorities had ordered
stopped, a riot was started In an arena
near the World's Fair grounds this even
ing by a crowd of 1500 men and boys who
were unable to get their money back and
the building was burned to the ground.
The price of admission charged was tl.
Four men were placed under arrest by
the authorities of St. Louie county, charged
with the destruction of property. y
Tho crowd, thinking these men were' con
nected with the show, made an attempt
to mob them and in their encounter with
the deputy sheriffs a number were roughly
handled and some received scalp wounds.
The building is said to have cost I2.&J0. It
Is a total loss with no insurance.
Tho initial performance by the company
of Spanish bull fighters had been adver
tised widely for today, but Governor
Dockery, to whom numerous protests had
been made by religious and humane so
cieties, ordered that It should not be al
lowed to take place. Deeplte these orders
a large crowd assembled In the arena at
the advertised time of opening.
Before the regular performance a num
ber of cowboys drove in some bulls which
they ran around the arena In true wild
west style. The crowd soon became tired
of this and called for the bull tight.
Bull Fight is Stopped.
The announcement was then made that
the bull fight would be proceeded with. As
the matadors came Into the ring, a. county
official stepped up to the announcer and
handed him a paper. Informing him that
the ' proposed show could not take place.
When this became known to the crowd
they leaped Into the arena and demanded
the return of their money. Falling to get
this, the crowd went to the office, which
was located In a small building outside
tho arena, and began to stone the struc
ture. This was followed by attempts to burn
the arena, which is an Immense building
constructed of pine. Bits of burning paper
were thrown at the woodwork and finally
some went Inside and dropped a lighted
match In a pile of hay under the arena.
The whole structure was soon on fire and
before long was In ruins.
A call was made for the fire department,
but the single engine that responded stuck
In the mud and there was nothing to stop
the flames. The fire department of the
World's Fair was called out to protect
the exposition buildings, should It become
necessary, but as the wind blew In another
direction there was no danger.

WAR LESSONS FOR THE WORLD
Military Men Anxiously Watchlag tho
Developments at Port
Arthur.
(Copyright by New York Herald Co.. 104.
PARIS. Juno 6. (New York Herald Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram to The Bee.) A
siege of Tort Arthur will not only be an
event of great Importance for the opposing
armies, but an episode of the highest in
terest from a milltury point of view, In
view of what it will show may be ex
pected in the way of resistance from a mod
ern and perfect manner, both as regards
fortifications and armament. The lessons
to be learned will doubtless be less con
clusive, as regards the attack. The Japa
nese generals appear to hold the principle
that they must never consider it a moral
obligation to spare the lives of their sol
diers even when the sacrifice Is not Impera
tively necessary. Because of their superb
disdain of death we must therefore expect
hectacombs of slain without precedent in
Europe.
When an army wants to capture a place It
can do so In two ways by a regular siege
or by an irregular attack consisting in
taking it by surprise or by main force, or
by obtaining its surrender by simply bom
barding it. It is clear that Port Arthur
will be attacked by besieging, inasmuch as
the first siege, that of Investment, has al
ready begun. General Stoessel In order to
retard Its accomplishment had concentrated
everything on discouraging his adversary
by opposing an impassable barrier on the
Isthmus which terminates the peninsula of
Xwang Tung, but he did not succeed. Let
us say In passing that his failure was due
in greater part to the vnexpected partici
pating of the gunboats which took the de
fenders of Nanshan In the flank. It Is
probable that new lines of defence will be
made use of by the Russians before the In
vestment properly so-called is complete.
But the attacking forces must still cap
ture the advanced first line of resistance
before entering upon the third and last
phase of a regular attack on the position.
The problem for them then will be to ap
proach on different points and by night,
doubye with strong columns well pro
vided with artillery and field howitzers so
as to leave the defenders uncertain as to
the real point of attack and to make an
assault through a breach opened In the
scene where the firing will have been tem
porarily suspended.
While awaiting the development of these
events around Port Arthur, the two op
posing armies In Manchuria are engaged In
Incessant outpost skirmishes, and the Cos
sacks in Corea are pushing their southward
march, menacing more and more the dis
trict of Ping Tang.
AMERICAN ' FLEET RE ASSURtlfO
' '
People nt Tangrlers Fact Safe While It
Is Near.
LONDON, June 6 The Times corres
pondent at Tangier under date of June
6 says the sultan's authorization to comply
with Ralsull's demands cannot be received
for a day or two. If ,the sultan fully
acquiesces In the demands the release of
the captives may be expected shortly, but
that by no means settles the situation, for
having twice succeeded In defying Europe
snd the sultan, Ralsull's success will tempt
th tribesmen to further outrages.
The presence of the American fleet affords
a temporary feeling of security, but the
moment the fleet Is withdrawn, unless some
permanent form of protection Is substi
tuted, the danger will become greater than
ever. The European population Is grateful
to the Americans for having promptly sent
warships. Full confidence Is felt that the
American government will not withdraw
them until some guarantee Is 'given that
Europe recognizes the situation and de
mands energetic action, i
SPANISIT DISTRUST V KITED STATES
Think This Country Is After Foothold
In Morocco.
MADRID, June 6. The newspapers are
anxiously discussing the Morocco ques
tion. The Epocha thinks that the precip
itation In sending a fleet to the Morocco
coast gives force to the report that the
United States has ssked the sultan of Mo
rocco for a port on the west coast.
La Correspondence De Espana gives a
rumor that an exchange of notes Is taking
place among the European chancellories
with a view to obtaining an assurance that
American action will be confined strictly
to measures for securing the liberation of
the captives.
Cruisers Remnln nt Tnnsjter.
LISBON, Portugal, June 6. It Is stated
here that the United States cruisers Bal

DEADWOOD. 8. D., June 6. (Special
Telegram,) Deadwood last night passed a
time of anxiety and terror. Early In the
afternoon, Whltewood, Deadwood and City
creek, swollen ay the unprecedented rains
of i lie last four days, began to leave their
banks and tent their waters through the
streets of the city, tearing up sidewalks,
flooding oellurs and knocking houses from
their foundations. , Whltewood creek where
it passes through the city carries all the
water from tho streams abovs and al
though strongly bulkhead ed It was Im
possible to keep the stream confined. Sev
eral buildings In the south part of the
city were washed away, lumber yards
floated off, the streets torn up and other
damage done.
During the night while the flood was at
Its highest Whltewood creek tore away the
bulkheadtng on Deadwood street and partly
wrecked the Walt bunding, one of the
most substantial in the city, carried away
the large bridge which e.ns the sties m
there, damaged the city hall snd for a
time threatened to carry out tho entire
business part of the city. Herolo measures
were taken to check the ravages of the
water, and were successful.
There has not been a train In or out
of the city over the Burlington since Fri
day, while the Northwestern transfers mall
and passengers across a gap In its lino
three miles from town. It-' Is estimated
that the Northwestern has been damaged
to the extent of 1200,000 and that two weeks
will be required to place the line In safe
condition.
On the Burljngton the line 'Is blocked
by landslides which In places cover the
tracks for .a depth of ten feet. Its dam
age will be as great as that of the North
western. At Central City, on Deadwood creek, the
only fatality of the storm occurred. Matt
Bender, a young man, while trying to save
property, fell Into the creek and before
anything could be done to help him, -ha
was swept away. His body has pot been
recovered. All of the lowsr part of Cen
tral City was swept away, as well as that
part of Oayvflla lying on low ground. 1 At
Gayville the Northwestern station". 'was
washed down the stream, a half mils of
track torn out and damage done to the,
treatment plan! of the Columbus Mining
company. The damage at these two places
will aggregate 1100,000. But little damage
was done at Whltewood. The approach 'to '
the Northwestern bridge across the oreek
was washed away.
Deadwood's damage Is hard to estimate,
but $200,000 will not cover It. The city Is
cut off from communication with the out
side, every road and bridge having been
washed out. While the water la still high
and covers the lower part of the city It Is
believed that It has ceased to bo a source
of danger.
At Pluma the Burlington station and
bridges were washed away, several houses
wrecked and th Pluma eJectrlc light plant
badly damaged. The loss is about $30,00).
At this, point the miburban electrlo line of
the Burllgton was wrecked for ever a mile,
nothing being left of Its roadbed or trolley
line.
Farmer Is Drowned,
8TURGIS, 8. D., June 6.-(8peoisl Tale
gram.) This vicinity was visited by a most
severe rainstorm since the flood of 1883. It
lasted about sixty h9urs. The streams, are
all full and overflowing. A large number
of bridges are gone and great damage has
been done by water throughout th coun
try. The storm quit this morning.
Guy Bhoudy, a farmer of Spring Creek,
was dtowned near this city this tfternoon.
He attempted lo cross Bare Butte creek on
horse back. When nearly across h pulled
his horse up stream and the water being
so swift turned ' the animal over on him.
The horse was saved, although badly cut
by wire. Bhoudy never came up and has
not yet been found. The body Is thought
to be lodged in the brush snd the water Is
too swift to do anything. Th creek Is
over Its banks.
