Washington Fares Still Worse —The
Snohomish Out of Its Banks—Cat- _

Associated Press Special Wire
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 15.—For the
past seventy-two hours rain has fallen i
Almost continuously over the northwest I
and all streams are running bank full. !
In many places the Willamette river has :
broken over its banks and has Hooded i
low lands. The river at this city at I) l
•'clock tonight stood fifteen feet above ;
low water and Is rising at the rate of ,
two Inches an hour. The lower docks
nave been abandoned and merchants
along the water front are at work to
night moving goods from their cellars .
to higher ground. About 8 o'clock to
night snow began falling, but soon
turned to rain. Railroad lines have suf
fered from washouts, and Seattle to
night is entirely shut off from the out
side world except by means of boat to
Tacoma. Trains on the Northern Pa
cific and Oregon Railway and Naviga- .
tion companies' roads were all delayed
by the storm and arrived several hours
late. The Southern Pacific was delayed
several hours by a washout a few miles
south of Salem, and was compelled to
transfer passengers and mails which
came in this evening.
IN WASHINGTON
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 15.—A spec
ial to the Post-Inteligencer from Everett
says: The Snohomish river has broken
all recordß, and Is now about two feet 1
higher than the top high water mark of '
arevios years. Disregarding the regu
lar channel, It has broken over the banks
and dykes and is taking a short cut
•cross country on its mad race to the
sound and the water Is still raising. The
ranchers in the bottom lands are only
partially prepared for the flood. While
their loss must be considerable In the ag
gregate, It Is Impossible to get details. .
Mr. Powers, who keeps a dairy on the
Bast place, is reported to have lost all
his cows. The steamer Florence Henry
has gone out on the bottom lands east
and south of town, and Is now gather
ing up the ranchers' families from their
submerged dwellings, some of them miles
from the river.
The Monte Cristo track between Ev
erett and Lowell is all under water. The
wharf at the foot of Hewitt avenue ln
this olty is partially submerged. At
Lowell the water has washed out the
tracks of both the Great Northern and
Monte Cristo roads. " The lower floor
ofr'the paper mill here is (looded. and the
fires have been put out in the furnaces.
The Monte Cristo train of yesterday was
not able to get through the canyon, the
track being covered with water most
of the time and water filled the tunnels
to the depth of several feet.
TRAFFIC ABANDONED
TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 15.—The Puy
allup. Stuck, White and Black river val
leys between Tacoma and Seattle are
flooded, causing such danger to traffic
that the Northern Pacific today aban
doned its entire service on the Seattle
branch. Tonight only one telegraph
Wire out of seven Is working between
Tacoma and Seattle, making particular.-)
of the flood hard to get, as the railroad
Is using the singl? wire. Early this
evening a log Jam was rapidly forming
in the White river at Kent, and It was
reported that the railroad bridge would
have to be blown out to prevent an In
undatlaa of the town and valley. A
later report says that the bridge has
gone out. It will probably be several
days before trains to Seattle can be
resumed. Falling trees this afternoon
prostrated wires in all directions. The
Postal oompany*lost all its wires north
and the Western Union all but the one
mentioned. The Western Union's east
ern clrault, comprising nine wires, went
down between Meeker Junction and
Ortlng, and but one wire south is in use.
Long distance telephone lines are down
in all directions.
The rain changed to snow at 11 oclock
this morning. It continued falling all
day, and this evening the ground is
covered with from one to two inches of
snow, though most of it melted as fast
as it fell.
The storm reached its height in Port
land before midnight, and according to
reports received by the weather bureau,
is now rapidly moving eastward. Port
land was directly In the storm center
today, and the temperature fell during
the day to 34 degrees, an almost unprec
edentedly low temperature for this time
of the year.
The rainfall during the 24 hours ending
at 5 oclock tonight was 2.66 inches.
There are a number of washouts re
ported on the line of the Northern Pa
cific between this city and Tacoma, Pas
senger train No. 1. which was due Sat
urday noon, was delayed by a break in
the traok this side of Linnton, and did
not reach Portland until this morning at
4 oclock. As the rain has evidently
abated, no further trouble along the
line is looked for as the result of the
present storm.
The Oregon Railway and Navigation
passenger train, due in Portland yester
day at 8 p. m., was delayed two miles
above Cascade Locks, where the bridge
across Herman creek, a small mountain
stream, now swollen beyond its bounds,
was carried away. The passengers were
transferred to a train sent up from
Portland, and arrived at 2:15.
In Portland the storm did considerable
damage. Sewers and gutters proved en
tirely inadequate to carry the great vol
umes of water which swept down from
the hills back of the city and poured
through every street.
The several street car lines were se
riously interfered with in many places,
where the water surged over their
tracks, clogging the ties and rails with
wreckage, but all lines managed to
maintain a moderately regular service
throughout the city.
Balch creek, which formerly supplied
the city with water, went out of its
banks last night and furrowed a new
channel to Guild's lake, directly across
the large Chinese vegetable garden
which lies at the foot of the canyon. The
garden was completely ruined. In Mar
quam gulch, at the other end of town,
the big brick sewer was unable to carry
the water which poured through it, and
burst at the lower end at noon, spouting
a stream like a geyser the balance of th>
day.
Several landslides occurred on the hills
during the day, a large mass of dirt and
stones coming down from one of the
hills in South Portland, with a noise that i
was heard all over that part of town.
The telephone companies kept their
linemen out all day untangling the Jum
ble Into which the wind blew their wires.
The tunnels which carry the wires un
derneath the streets became filled with
water and required the constant services
of men with pumps to keep them clear.

Associated Press Special Wire
LAWRENCE, Kas„ Nov. 15.—A brief
ceremony was held here today over the
remains of Bert Serf, quarterback of the
Doane college eleven, who was killed in
Saturday's football game. Gathered in
the hotel parlors were the fellow mem
bers of the Doane football team, the
Kansas football team and the members
of the Kansas university faculty, Here
Rev. G. W. Banker, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, read a brief serv
ice, made a short prayer and spoke a few
words to those surrounding the body.
The body was then borne out by six
members of the Kansas team and a
hundred students in line followed the
hearse to the depot.
The parents of young Serf did not ar
rive in Lawrence before the remains
started home, but will meet them on the
way. They live in Hastings, Neb., where
the father is an Evangelical Lutheran
minister.
Several Lawrence preachers this
morning touched on the sad event, and
Rev. O, D. Rogers, pastor of the
Baptist came out strongly against the
further playing of the game.
Young Serf's remains were accompa
nied to his home by Hector Cowan, coach
of tho Kansas football eleven; Judge j
Green, dean of the law department of
the school, and A. A. Ewart of the ath
letic board.
OX THE WHEEL.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—Arthur Gar
diner, the fast western rider, through
his adviser, John West, has issued a chal
lenge to E. C. Bald of Buffalo or Tom
Cooper of Detroit to a series of three
unpaced races, the distance to be one
mile, two miles and five miles, for a
purse of either $1000 or $2000, for the se- j
rles, the winner to take all.
In the challenge West says: "The
races are to be run within thirty days
after the articles are signed. It is im
material to me on which track or at what
point the races shall be held, and the
only condition I shall impose is that the :
men start from opposite sides of the
track, both rising in the same directlno.
I have deposited $200 with George Stew- j
art, president of the Thistle Cycling
Club, Chicago."
AT THE VELODROME.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.—Six thou- :
sand people viewed the new cycle track
at the Velodrome during this afternoon
and many remained from the time the
first rider made his appearance until
darkness rendered riding no longer pos-
Bible. The matinee opening was most
successful, there being an average nf
2000 wheelmen on the grounds all the
I time. The various cycle clubs of the
I city. Oakland and Alameda were very
much In evidence and helped to liven up
affairs materially. Nearly every racing ;
man of any prominence in this section of
the state assisted to Interest the big
crowd, at times giving the track the ap
pearanoe of a veritable flying wheel, so
thick and fast did they come. A more
representative field could scarcely have
! been assembled from among the coast
I riedrs, the only men of note absent being
I Wells, Downing, Whitman, Wing, Tan
tau, Smith, Davis, H. Noonan, Lind and
i Hlrsch.
WITH THE GUN.
I OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 15.—Thanksgiv
ing day Frank Parmalee and J. A. P.
i Elliott of Kansas City will meet in a 100
--■ bird match at live pigeons on the local
! grounds. Parmalee Is one of the handiest
! men with a gun in the country, and Elli
: ott has been looked upon for years as the
' champion live-bird shot of the country.
' While others won the title in tourna-
I ments, in individual matches the Kansas
City man has more than held his own
against all comers.
Elliott and Parmalee have only met
once in an Individual match, and this
I was won by the Omaha man by a score
I of 98 to 97, either score being sufficient
Ito win four out of five matches in any
i company. The match on Thanksgiving
i day is for $500 a side, and lovers of trap
shooting will see as fine an exhibition
: as is ever offered in that line, for both
' men are shooting in the best, of form.
I After the big match there will be a
: series of sweepstake shoots at live birds,
I open to all comers.
INDOOR SPRINTING.
! NEW YORK. Nov. 15.—Bernard J.
i Wefers was the attraction at the games
jof the Third regiment, held last night

! iii easy fashion, in each case covering
i the distance in 10 1-5 seconds, which
' broke the indoor record of 10 2-5. In the
final heat he went the eighty yards Ir.

i this morning near Union Hill. N. J. It j

I than 400 sports from Hudson county and

Donough. McDonough made three fouls
in the seventh round and Kelly's second
stopped the fight and the referee left
I the ring without rendering a decision. i
The light was made a draw by mutual :

The Trust Wil! Attempt to Break Down
Competition,
CLEVELAND, 0,, Nov. 15.—A man i
| who Is familiar with the affairs of the
j wire nail trust says a drop in the price
of nails Is likely to soon come. The
I sharp increase within the past two years
has led to the starting of numerous fac
: torles to compete with the trust, and this
1 man says that the trust will drive these
competitors out of the field by cutting
the price to $1.75. At the latter figure,
he says, the trust can make money be
cause it manufactures its own wire, but
the small factories, which buy their |
wire from other mills, cannot do busi
ness at a profit at the figure named.

THE INDIAN FAMINE
No Rain Falls and the Distress Is In- |
creasing
LONDON, Nov. 15.—A correspondent
telegraphs to the Times from Allaha
bad, India, as follows: Distress Is be
ginning to be felt ln the ceded districts
of Madras. Rev. G. R. Campbell, a
British missionary, writes from Cud
dapeh, urging the importance of Amer
ican maize, "which," he says, "is half
the price of wheat and would find a
ready sale ln our up-country villages."
It is grown in many parts of the ceded
districts and from Its resemblance to
cholam would be preferred to either rice
or ragl, while it could be sold much
cheaper than any of the Indian grains, j
If the government will not undertake i
such a work surely there are merchants
in Madras prepared to benefit the pub
lic with a prospect of a fair profit.
Maize would also find a ready sale in
Upper India.
This correspondent also quotes an ar
ticle from the Pioneer dealing with the
drought. It expects a rainfall from the
latter half of December onward, but
none before that.

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.—The Tribune
says: One million dollars has been
subscribed and plans are being matured
for the formation in Chicago within two
weeks of a gigantic commercial enter
prise to be known as the English-
American-Chinese Railway Construc
tion company, which is to enter the
Chinese trade as the rival of the Ameri

the company is eventually to obtain con
trol of the American trade in the Flow

miles of railway, equipped with the
most improved appliances and rolling
stock, will be built. Must of the cap
ital, it is said, will be put in by Ameri
cans, and they will also supply the equip
ment of the road.
Two Englishmen are directing the for

THE LONDON MARKET.
African Stocks Dull, With Better Inquiry
for Americans.
LONDON, Nov. 15.—Money rates have
been firm, and there has been an enor
mous demand for gold for the continent..
It is probable that large shipments are
going to India shortly. Dear money
has restricted business on the stock ex
change, but the tone has been good ln
all departments except mines, which
were stagnant and depressed on the ap- I
prehension that the Transvaal would
demand a big indemnity of the Char- i
ti-red South Africa Company for the
Jameson raid. Public Investments in
Africans have almost ceased. Seem
ingly the speculative element has trans
ferred Its affection to cheap American
adventures. The demand for low-priced
bonds and shares of re-organised Ameri
can railroads is active at Increasing
prices. The Venezuela settlement would
have had a great effect on the market
but for the rumors of trouble between
the United States and Spain over Cubn.
