2 continued throughout the entire day and night and at 10 a. m.. while the storift has abated, the lowering clouds would in dicate another terrific downpour at any moment. Many miles of the Norfolk & Western railroad track, bridges and telegraph "lines are entirely destroyed and communication Is entirely cut off west of Elkhorn, co that it is impossible to learn the full ex tent of the loss of life and property, but officials of the coal operations, located in the stricken district, have sent out mes sengers to Elkhorn, the terminus of both telegraphic and railroad communications, and have received a report that a con- servatlve estimate as to the loss of life will easily reach 200. Some of the drowned are among tho most prominent citizens of the coal fields. The Pocahontas coal field is located In a basin, with high mountain ranges on either side, Elkhorn creek flowing through the center of the basin, which ranges from one-fourth to one mile in width. From Ennis, W. Va., to Vivian Yard, W. Va., a distance of ten miles, miners' cabins, coal company commissaries aud coke plants line this basin. Elkhorn creek, being fed by numerous small streams coming from the moun tain side, rises very rapidly and this waterspout came so suddenly that the en tire basin between the mountain ranges wae flooded before the terror-stricken people realized what was upon them. They were carried down by the flood, which swept everything in Its path. The little town of Keystone, with a population of about 2,000, seems the greatest sufferer, practically the entire town being washed away. This town is the principal one in the Pocahontas coal fields, and is located near lte center. It was to a great extent head quarters from which the mining popula tion purchased supplies, and was also the only place In the field where whisky could be purchased. At this place there were some twelve to fifteen saloons, all of which were washed away. The report comes that the mining population is now occupying the banks of the streams below, catching the merchandise and barrels of whisky and beer as they float down. A great number of coke plants through the Pocahontas are reported practically destroyed, and are in some instances en- tirely washed away. Owing to the very high water which has flooded the region and prevented communication, anything like a correct estimate of the loss of prop erty is impossible, but from the best in formantlon obtainable the loss to property will easily reach $2,000,000. At Landgraf, the beautiful home of Gen eral Manager Ord Is reported gone, but his family is said to be safe. Passenger train No. 4 of the Norfolk & Western railroad reached Vivian about S:3O a. m., met the flood, and was unable to proceed further. The waters reached such a depth that the coaches had to be abandoned, the passengers being rescued by means of ropes strung from the windows of coaches to the tops of remaining coke ovens some distance away. Between Elkhorn and Vivian yard, a distance of ten miles, one hundred cars are said to be washed from the tracks and many of them were carried down the streams. A rough estimate places the number of bridges washed away between Bluefteld and Vivian yard, a distance of twenty-eight miles, at from fifteen to twenty, and from present indi cations It will be impossible to get trains through to Vivian and points west of there under a week or ten days. This will render it impossible to get relief into the stricken district and with those who es caped with their lives homeless and with out food, indescribable suffering is inev itable. On the Clinch valley branch of the Nor folk & Western railway between this city and Norton, Va., communication is en tirely severed west of Tazewell, Va. Re ports come from that point of great los 3 of life and property throughout that entire 1 section. In Shakerag, a negro settlement on the outskirts of Tazewell, the water stands to the depth of six or eight feet in the street and all the occupants have fleen removed to places of safety by boat. Three miles west of Tazewell on the Higglnbotham farm, the home of Paris Vandyke, a farm house was swept away, carrying with it Mrs. Vandyke and four children, two of the Vandyke children, John, 17, and Charles, 5, being drowned. Mrs. Vandyke, with the two remaining children, Edgar and Laura, were found in a dying condition one mile from where the home stood, by Mr. Van dyke, who was absent from home at the time of the cloudburst. While the rescuing paxty was searching for the Van dyke family they found the body of a ■white woman, weJl clad, floating down Plum creek. No one thus far has been able to identify her and it is supposed the body had washed down from some dis tance. A report comes from Wittens Mill, a •mall station between Bluefields and Taze well, that three children, Christian names unknown, belonging to Religh Brush, were drowned early Saturday morning. It is estimated that 200 lives alone were lost at Keystone. The flood seems to have extended over a vast area of moan/tain country and the hundreds of mountain streams becoming swollen only served to swell the Elkhorn river until It had assumed large proportions and carried destruction in its wake. Railroad ties and tracks, small buildings of all descriptions, trees, telegraph poles, huge boulders and every imaginable movable thing that came within the sweep of thi3 mighty torrent of maddened waters went down the mountainous district in a seeth ing, roaring mass of debris. The loss of life will probably reach 50C or 600, and possibly this number will be swelled, when fuller details are obtainable. Grewt damage is also reported to have resulted in the Clinch valley section which extends south from Graham, Va. No lives, however, are reported to have been loet along this valley. At Burke, a suburb of Keystone, a num ber are missing and a number are dead. It rs now almost certain that the number of dead from one end of the Elkhorn valley to the other will reach two hundred. It is stated that every building in the town of Keystone was de molished or carried away by the water save one, and that a barroom which stands on a high hill. The normal popula tion of Keystone is about 2,000 souls and as last night was Saturday night, there Is no telling how many miners had gone Into the town to swell its population. MONTGOMERY'S LOSS No I ttSMiulti.-N. but Mine Property Suffers Severely. Montgomery, W. Va., June 24.—N0 lives are known to have been lost here in yes terday's great storm. Much damage was caused to mine property. Many tipples were destroyed and various other struc tures about the mines were damaged. The loss probably will exceed $75,000. SINGERS ENTER BUFFALO. Buffalo, N. V., June 24.—About sixty so cieties, with 2,500 members, arrived to-day and several thousand more nre expected dur ing the day, to participate in the fest of the North American Saengerbund. The fest opens with a reception, concert and kommers, in the Sixty-fifth regiment arsenal. That Tired Feeling That exists before as well as after ex ertion and makes a daily burden of it self, is an indication of loss of vitality and tono. affecting all the functions of the body and commonly most of all the digestive and assimilative. Its sufferer does not eat well nor sleep well. I had that tired feeling and when I got up in the morning it appeared as though I had had no sleep. My system was all run down. Hood's Sarsaparilla was recommended for these symptoms and I began taking it. Since taking two bottles I am entirely well. I cannot speak too highly of Hood's.—Martin Kemp, chef at Union Stockyard Hotel, Cleve land, Ohio. Hood's Sarsaparilla Cures that tired feeling, gives new strength, new courage, new life. ADEOERT S. HAY KILLED FALLS FROM A HOTEL WINDOW Son of Secretary Hay and Former United States Consul at . Pretoria. New Haven, Conn., June 24. —Adelbert Stone Hay, former consul of the United States* at Pretoria, South Africa, and eldest son of Secretary of State John Hay, fell from a window in the third story of the New Haven house in this city, short ly before 2:30 yesterday morning and was instantly killed. The full details prob ably will never be known. Mr. Hay iiad rooms at the New Haven house for commencement week. It is gen erally supposed that after going to his room he went to the window for air, and sitting on the sill, he dozed off, and, over balancing, fell to the pavement below, a fall of fully sixty feet. The fall resulted in Instant death and within fifteen minutes the body had been identified as that of young Hay. John Hay, secretary of state, arrived in New Haven from Washington at 5:45 p. m., in response to the dispatch an nouncing the sudden death of his son, Adelbert S. Hay. Mr. Hay was unaccom panied and gave signs of great grief. He entered a carriage and was driven imme diately to_the residence of Seth Mosley, 36 Wall street. Worn out with the long trip from the capital and once within the walls of the bouse that sheltered the remains of his dead sou, the secretary collapsed. His col lapse was so complete that medical aid was deemed necessary and Dr. Gilbert was summoned. Miss Helen Hay. a daughter of the sec retary, arrived in New Haven from Boston at 7:10 p. m. Dr. Samuel D. Gilbert, who was sum moned in attendance upon Secretary Hay, said that the illness of the secretary was apparently not serious. The physician said: «■ "Mr. Hay is simply overwhelmed by the tragic death of his son, and is suffering from a prostration which will probably be relieved by sufficient rest." Scarcely more than an hour elapsed after Secretary Hay's arrival before M %; Helen Hay, a daughter of the family, well nigh prostrated by the shock of the sad news, was at her father's bedside. After passing a fairly restful night, Sec retary Hay was very much improved this morning. At 9 o'clock he received a call from Df. Gilbert, his physician. The doc tor found Colonel Hay so much better that he permitted him to sit up, and while di recting that he remain quietly In his room for the day, expressed the belief that he will be able to leave the city this even ing if necessary. Immediately after the departure of the physician. Secretary Hay arose and had breakfast in his room. The class or '98 of Yale university, of which Adeibert S. Hay was a member, took action to-day by passing a resolution deploring his untimely death and express ing "appreciation of his noble chan 2ter and admirable qualities." Two hundred members of the class who are to attend their triennial reunion—the largest class reunion in Yale's history—were present at the meeting, Frank E. Simmons of St. Louis presiding. The ball game which was to have been played by members of the class with a team representing the class of '95, and which was to have been a notable feature of 'commencement week festivities, has been given up. A committee consisting of Robert Reynolds Hitt, son of Con gressman Hitt of Illinois, Payne Whitney, son of ex-Secretary of the Navy William C. Whitney of New York, James T. Wads worth, son of Congressman Wadsworth of Genesee, N. V. ( Robert Garrison of New York and Julian Starkweather Mason of Chicago, will represent the class at the funeral. Mr. Hitt was a room-mate of Adeibert Hay In college. This afternoon it was announced that It was hoped the family would be able to leave with the body for Cleveland this evening. There is still some uncertainty as to the coming of Mrs. Hay, and she may go direct to Cleveland. Telegrams of condelence from President McKinley, members of his cabinet and many others reached Secretary Hay to-day. SPECTACULAR SURRENDER GEX. CAILXES AND COMMAND YIELD Over Six Hundred Fhillpplne Rebels Take the Oath of Al legiance. Santa Cruz, Province of Laguna, Luzon, June 24. —General Cailles surrendered here to-day with 650 men and 500 rifles.Oaths of allegiance to the United States were administered to the former insurgents. Colonel Cabbelles, who fled to the moun tains with a portion of his command, like wise surrendered. When General Cailles surrendered he entered Santa Cruz to the music of na tive bands, which were drawn up in six lines in the churchyard. Cailles and his staff entered the church where mass was celebrated by Chaplain Hart of the Eighth United States infantry. The column passed in review before the United States army headquarters with arms at port, returned to the convention enclosure, there surrendered their rifles and received receipts entitling them to thirty pesos each. All the receipts were deposited in the. hats of Cailles and his officers, Cailles in sisting that the arms were not being sold, but belonged to the revolutionary gov ernment and that the proceeds must go to the widows and orphans. During the sur render of arms Cailles and his staff, who were outside the enclosure, wept. The officers afterwards walked to head quarters, where Cailles tendered his sword to General Sumner, who gallantly handed it back. General Sumner also handed back the revolutionists' flag, which Cailles will personally present to General Mac Arthur. General Sumner congratulated Cailles on his surrender, and the latter responded that it was a happy day for Laguna province. The president of the federalists in Laguna made a patriotic address to the former Filipino officers, and then the lat ter and the rank and file of the Filipinos took the oafh of allegiance publicly on the plaza. Frank Mekin, the deserter of the Thirty-seventh infantry, who had been acting as a lieutenant with the insur gents under Cailles and who surrendered to-day, was placed in irons. Manila, June 24. —In consequence of the surrender of General Cailles, all the in surgent prisoners on Luzon island will be released. Information from native sources confirms previous reports that General Malvar will soon surrender. ST PAUL MAN PRESIDENT.

"cautious," these words In th# AWrich mind meaning that he is to keep hands off and give no comfort in his message to the reciprocity element in the party. A recommendation by the president that treaties similar to those which the sen ate has ignored be prepared and ratified promptly, would give an impetus to tariff reform which many wise men think would be far-reaching in results. Will He Recommend Reciprocity? If the president was correctly quoted by M. Jules Siegfried, the eminent French publicist, his message is likely to con tain reciprocity recommendations. The weight of his influence might decide the battle and compel the senate to action. This is what Senator Aldrich is afraid of, fur it is practically certain that the sen ate will do nothing unless the force of public opinion becomes strong enough to overshadow the petty local interests which e^ch senator represents and de fends. Tliese petty Intereata may triumph if the president maintains a neutral at titude. Independently of the president's recom mendation, the houße, as a second way of solving the problem, might, through the ways and means committee, report a rev enue bill which would embody some of the essential features of the reciprocity treaties. This would be half a loaf, but it would be better than no bread at all. It is at this point that the Babcock bill comes in. The democratic members of the ways and means committee stand ready to vote with Mr. Babcock to report his bill. It only remains to be seen whether he is a big and a brave man, and can withstand the criticism which such a program would provoke from the high protectionists within the party. The Babcock bill aside, for it will hard ly do more than to serve as an entering wedge, and regarding its details there is a hopeless division of sentiment; the house might pass a horizontal reduction bill without especial reference to recip rocity. Either of these programs, if fol lowed out, might be accepted as a guar antee of good faith by Europe and post pone the reprisals which are now being threatened. Any action that the house might take, however, would have to be reviewed and indorsed by the senate, and so the bur den of responsibility falls after all upon that body, and much the simpler and more direct plan would be for it to ratify the reciprocity treaties, in accordance with a recommendation to that effeqt which the middle west republicans will implore the president to make in his message. It ough to be remembmered that the president commands the key to the situ ation. His message to congress will be the pivot upon which this entire propo sition is likely to turn. The recipro city treaties were prepared under his di rection, and obviously he was and is favorable to thejm. CAPEHARTS A. S. Capehart, formerly of North ENTERPRISE. Dakota, admits he is selling the reports of the Paris Exposition commission at $20 a set, and he says that sets sold after July 1 will be held at $25 and that he will make only a small margin of profit, as his ex penses in financing the sale have been heavy in purchasing those publications from the government and selling them again. He said to-day: I acted entirely within my prerogatives. The* article in which it was said I was selling the commission's reports does me injustice in that it says that I am on the pay rolls of the government. I have not drawn a cent from the government since June 1, and my ex penses for traveling and hotel bills have not been paid by the government since May 1. I did nothing in this matter except to order the books before I severed my connection with 200 Sheep Killed by Hail Special to The Journal. Spearfish, S. D., June 24.—The heavy hail storm two days ago killed 200 head of Angora sheep for C. A. Scott on the range north of this city. The loss will be some thing like $3,000. The damage done to county roads and bridges in Lawrence county, Butte and Meade, and in Crook county, over the line in Wyoming, will reach a large sum. There is scarcely a bridge left on the larger streams, several of the steel structures having either been carried away entirely or made unsafe for crossing the government. The first letter was written June 5 and offered to exhibitors in my section of the exposition sets of the report at $20 a set. On June 15 I had secured orders for thirty-five sets. I then offered them to ex hibitors in other sections, and am now book ing orders for the remainder of the 250 eets I was entitled to purchase under the law. As to the price I will pay for the books, it will be considerably in excess of the $3.60 a set mentioned in the newspapers. That was the estimate made by the putlic printer, and 1 deposited that amount on that estimate. Capehart then went on to say that Itis family home is in Paris. When he found that he could not get through with his work as soon as he expected he brought his family to this country and they ar€ new living in Washington. He expects to remain here for some time. HARDING TRIES A. W. Harding, In dian agent at Yank- TO KEEP IN. ton, S. D., is in Washington to see if he cannot prevent Secretary Hitchcock from carrying out Inspector Graves' recommendation for his removal on ac count of alleged official misconduct. Harding had a long interview with In dian Commissioner Jones to-day, about which neither will talk. He also had an engagement to see Secretary Hitchcock, but tihe head of the department was busy and the interview was postponed. Hard- Ing protests his innocence vigorously, but Inspector Graves is just as vigorous on the other side. Harding is said to have powerful influences back of him which he will depend upon to keep him in office should the worst come to the worst. Commissioner Jones said to-day that the department would keep Captain Mercer at the Leech lake agency if it is possible to do bo. There are other things for Mercer to attend to beside timber op erations. The suspension of these op erations is only temporary, so the com missioner believes, for the reason that he looks for some amendment of the Nel son act next winter. If such legislation is obtained he will need Captain Mercer in Minnesota to carry out the modified law. —W. W. Jermane. Attorney General Looking Up Trusts ffmw York Sun Snmclml Sorv/os Washington, June 24.—An investigation to determine whether certain great cor porate combinations are operating in contravention of the Sherman anti-trust law is being secretly made by the department of justice. If it is ascertained that the statute has been and is being violated and the department can go into court with sufficient evidence to make a prlma facie case action will be instituted to vitiate these combinations. The trust question would resolve itself into a paramount legal issue and be fought to a finish. Against the federal government would be arrayed vast aggregations of capital which go to make up the so-called octopuses. Just what trusts are being looked into is known only to the investigators. This too, is not at all improper, inasmuch as obstacles would be placed in their way by the combinations concerned to perhaps the fatal disadvantage of the government But the officials of the attorney general's office are doing their utmost to obtain such information as will enable them to make a strong case. The desire and aim of the department now is to learn whether the operations of the tremendous industrial combinations which have been organized recently come within the pale of the anti trust law. It also is endeavoring to ascertain whether the "community of interest" scheme lately entered into by railroads controlled by J. Pierpont Morgan, James J Hill and others constitutes an infraction of the statute. If, as has been stated before the department succeeds in obtaining evidence which will justify proceedings against these trusts or pools, action will be commenced in court. If, on the other hand the officials come to the conclusion that the law is not being violated, there will be no prosecution. However, if they are balked in their efforts this time they will try again. In the meantime it ia a subject of some complaint at the department that con gress did not go far enough in passing the Sherman anti-trust act. That body placed the law on the statute books, but has failed to provide suitable machinery for its execution. iOME FINE WORK AHEAD FOR MINNEAPOLIS BUSINESS MEN The "Community of Interest*" and Freight Kate* Factor* in the Problem. . Local shippers are endeavoring to de termine Just what the "community of in terests" among the railroads will do for Minneapolis. The general impression is that, while it may be a good thing for the railroads, it does not promise well for this city and many other western towns which are entitled to more than they are getting from the railroads in the way of 'better rates. One of the largest local shippers Bays: Minneapolis is waking up to the fact at last, that, while she has been quietly repos ing on the every-man-for-hlmself pillow dur ing the past ten years, the general Interests of the city have suffered. We have been .do ing a good business and growing faster than all western competitors because of our natu ral advantages. Had we made demands at the right time for what we were Justly enti tled to, Minneapolis as a manufacturing and jobbing center would be a long distance ahead of her position to-day. We realize that now, just as our eyes begin to open, and "the community of interest" comes along. It Is my honest opinion that this change Is to do .Minneapolis no good, if, indeed, it doea not do the city harm. I am convinced that If the Soo and Canadian Pacific are included in the pool, rates from the east will be boosted. If Minneapolis is to grow aa a distributing center as rapidly as she should, we must be given a fairer deal in our fight against Chi cago in the territory to the south and east. Minneapolis men have some fine work ahead of them to secure an equitable deal from the railroads. Legislation May Be Asked. Legislation to force the railroads to do the square thing by Minneapolis shippers is advocated by many local business men. As Minneapolis and St. Paul interests are identical in this particular, the movement will undoubtedly receive the support of most of the St. Paul shippers. Is the Mihvnuke to Blame? The unsuccessful effort of Minneapolis to secure just rates from the Milwaukee on the H. & D. division of that road and the like results in an attempt to induce the North-Western to give Minneapolis a fair show on the grain business south has strengthened the opinion of the local business men that they have little to hope for in their campaign for just rates. After repeated effort they are convinced that the Milwaukee is alone responsible for the un just discrimination against Minneapolis in several sections of the northwest.. Several of the more prominent shippers therefore advocated the forming of a ton nage combination to control an immense amount of freight and to be used as a club in dealing with railroads. This plan has not met with the general favor that was expected. This has brought Minneapolis shippers to the point Where they consider legislation necessary. ALASKA RAILROADING Valdez and Eagle City Are to Be Connected. Special to The Journal.- Taeoma, Wash., June 24. — Work was commenced last week on the greatest railroad project ever undertaken north of Puget sound. Contractor M. J. Heney has undertaken to construct 400 miles of stand ard gauge railway between Valdez and Eagle City, on the Yukon, in less than three years. He left Taeoma June 10 on the steamer Bertha with a party of sur veyors for Valdez. They took pack ani mals to enable Heney to make an inspec tion of the entire route, coming out by way of the Yukon. On his return he will go east and to London to complete arrange ments for raising $8,000,000 needed to build and equip the line. Mr. Heney achieved an international reputation by his remarkable success in building the White Pass & Yukon rall- road from Skagway to White Horse. On visiting London last winter he was lion ized by Birtish capitalists interested in the White Pass railroad, who promised him all the money needed for a line through the Copper and Tanana valleys if he found the route feasible after per sonal inspection. Heney's arrival at Val dez has caused great excitement. Lots have trebled in price. RUNNING A PARALLEL The North-Western May Squeeze Oat the Great Western. Special to The Journal. Redwood Falls, Minn., June 24.—Another surprise has deeloped in railroad matters in this county. The Chicago & North- Western surveyors, instead of being called in after they completed their survey from Morgan to Marshall, and after the Great Western surveyors left the field, are now engaged in running a bow line from Tracy east to Sleepy Eye or Evan, coming as far north as within two miles of Wa basso, and then proceeding east by south directly alongside of the survey of the Chicago Great Western railroad. As rap idly as the surveyors make the prelimi nary run and get off a farm, the company has County Attorney Frank Claque on the ground buying the right of way. A maximum of $40 per acre is allowed, and where the owner of the land is willing to acept this he Is askel to sign a contract, and is paid $1 down, with the understand ing that the balance is to be paid when the deed is aeked for by the company By doing this the North-Western forces the Great Western to make another sur vey from a point two mfles east of Wa basso to Eleepy Eye, for the reason that the North-Western has the option on much of the right of way called for in the preliminary line of the Great Western. The North-Western surveyors contend that the new line will be much better for freight hauling than will the present line, which calls for a continual climb from the' time of leaving Sleepy Eye until Tracy is reached.

Big Plans for Manhattan. lfeu> Tork Sun Sprrrlal Servtem New York,- June 24.—The announcement last week by President Baldwin of the Long Island railway, that a tunnel will be con structed under the East river from Long Island city right into the heart of Manhattan island, is said to be only one link in the great belt of tracks which the Pennsylvania railroad, controlling the Long Island, is credited with intending to throw around Manhattan island in the course of a few years, at a cost, perhaps, of $20,000,000. The plan includes the crossing erf New York bay by means of monster floats, rail facilities across Long Island and the invasion of the northern end of the city, giving access to the New England states, and a passenger irelght belt line about the metropolis.
