Those regarding the constitution of the court itself are sub stantially identical with Sir Julian Paun.'efote's original project. Clause S3 is interesting, in that it provides that each signatory power shall designate within three months following the rati fication not more than four persons rec ognized as competent to deal with questions of international law, who are ready to accept the office of arbitrators. The bureau will keep a list of the nom inees who will be competent to sit as members of the court and will report to the signatory powers all modifications therein.

ST. LOUIS, July 10.—A special to The Republic from Caldwell, Tex., says: Cotton buyers estimate that not less than-200 square miles of cotton bearing laud has been flooded in the Brazos dis trict. Evary acre of it would have pro duced a big bale. Basing the loss on five cent figures, the crop destroyed on these plantations was wortn almost $4, 000. It is reported that the flood has cost the people of Texas little less than $10,000,000. Thousands of mules have been drowned, all of the domestic ani mals have perished rented houses and negro quarters have been swept away. The gins are nearly all ruined, and hun dreds of plantation stores carrying big stocks of general merchandise are un der water. Not a bridge has escaped and not a train has passed over the Santa Fe railroad between Brenham and Milano for a week. NO TOWN IN ITS PATH. Tornado Destroy* Much Farm Property Near Munawu, Wis. MAKAWA, Wis.. July 10.—A tornado passed through Union township, five miles north of this city, at 8 p. m. Ow ing to the fact that no city or village lay in its path prevented a result equal ing the New Richmond horror. The etorin struck the township at the west ern boundary and' plowed a furrow across it 6 miles long and from 15 to 40 rods wide. Practically everything in its path was destroyed. Conservative estimates place the loss at $50,000 to $75,000. Many farmhouses, barns and .outbuildings and miles of fencing were wrecked. There was no loss of life, however, and, so far as can be learned, no person sustained injury. it '-V ZOLA HAS QUIT. French Author Say* III* Object In the llreyfu* Matter Has lteen Attained. NEW YORK, July 11.—A dispatch to The World from Paris, signed by Emile Zola, says: "Positively, I will not write of the Dreyfus case for any newspaper what soever—at least not until the coming trial is over. "What I had to say, I have said. I consider that I am no longer needed. I withdraw. "I learn that a man in New York boasts that he has a contract with me to write a play about Dreyfus. Another man talks of my making a lecture tour through the United States. "I learn too, that certain newspapers have recently published articles signed with my name, and are announcing that they will publish other articles by me. All such statements are absolute impositions. I have never authorized these statements nor"Wie publication of these articles. "When I raised my voice for Dreyfus, I merely desired to rally &e defenders of justice, then busy elsewhere to draw attention to a crime the accomplishing of which was not to be tolerated. "I am glad I did it. Because the agitation probably saved an innocent man. Because it proved invaluable in educating the masses. Because this re vision marks the entrance of the moral idea into politics, where principle is too constantly sacrificed to immediate ex pediency and mutual toleration. Such a sacrifice, in the long run, is ruinous to any nation. "I am glad I did it. Should occasion arise, I should enter politics again, "Now, however, my ideas on these subjects are in the hands of better lead ers of men than I am. These leadere are amply able to make the ideas to fruition in this beloved, generous France. "Having no doubls these ideas will bear fruit in America, too, I cannot see how any articles, lectures, especially how any bad melodramas I could con tribute to the discussion, would help the good work. "Therefore, as despite what has been said, I have none but a literary ambi tion, I now return to purely literary honors." CITY UNDER MARTIAL LAW. Seriouj Kiotg an the Kesult of a Street Car Strike at I^ondon, Ont. LONDON, Ont., July 11.—The city has been placed under martial law and ad ditional militiamen ordered from ad jacent towns as a result of street riots.

The trouble commenced in the afternoon when crowds drove the non-union crews of several street cars from their posts and stoned the cars. One car was fired after the crews had left it and was al most destroyed. When the attempt tempt was made to move the cars to the bam the rioting broke out afresh. The cars were stoned and the mob be came so boisterous that the riot act had to be read. This had not the de sired effect and Mayor Wilson called out the military. Several arrests were made. FOR PUNISHING DREYFUS. Governor of the Iale do Diable Hm Been Removed. PARIS, July 11.—M. Deniel, governor of the Isles du Salutl and administrator of the penal settlement on Isle du Diable, where Captain Dreyfus was imprisoned, has been removed and will be succeeded by M. la Soucan. M.

Professor Lugger Says the Northwest la Almost Certain to Be Visited. ST. PAUL, July 8.—Professor Otto Lugger, state entomologist, prophesies for Minnesota during the summer an invasion of grasshoppers. Professor Lugger has just returned from the Tur tle mountains, vast rolling hills that be gin in the northern part of North Da kota and extend into Manitoba, and he says that from his investigations there he is pretty positive that the grasshop per pest will reach into Minnesota. The Turtle mountains are the great hatching place for grasshoppers. "I turned' over a square foot of ground in the Turtle mountains," said Profes sor Lugger, "and found tens of thou sands of grasshopper eggs in the soil. They are just beginning to hatch, and in an incredibly short time they will have started south and east in great armies to devastate the wheat fields of the Da kotas, Manitoba and very possibly of Minnesota. The weather up there has been propitious for them, for while we have had lots of rain here, there it has been dry.!' Professor Lugger offers a timely bit of advice to farmers. He urges them to prepare for the grasshoppers by fix ing up hopperdozers, plans and specifi cations of which may be had by apply ing to him by letter at the state school of agriculture. Another good plan, Professor Lugger says, is to plow a furrow around fields of growing grain and saturate it with kerosene oil. So much do the grasshop pers detest and fear this, their great enemy,that they will not venture across the kerosene douched furrow. BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE FRIDAY. JULY 14, 1899.

Regiments styled First and Second Philippine United States Veteran Volunteer In fantry." Adjutant General Corbin cabled Gen eral Otis that these designations could not be allowed lor the Philippine regi ments, and in order to save confusion they would be called the Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh United States vol nnteer infantry.

MANILA, July 5, via Hong Kong, July 11.—Friendly Filipinos in Manila have been the medium of communica tion between the American authorities and the military leaders of the insur rection in Cavite province which for Eome time promised to result' in bring ing over a prominent general and sev eral hundred of his followers with their arms. If the negotiations had succeeded the outcome would have had a great moral effect, for other defec tions doubtless would have fol lowed. Were the general's name given it might lead in his cdse to a fate similar to that which has befallen other Filipinos suspected of friendliness toward the Americans. He had fore seen the failure of the insurrection and advised Aguinaldo to make terms, but it is understood that he has sent word to t' Americans that, having sworn to support the insurrection, he must re main loyal to the end. Similar negotiations are said to have been conducted with a member of the cabinet of the so-called Filipino govern ment, who, himself, took the initiative. Bome form of money consideration figured in the discussions. RAINING CONTINUALLY. Troops Aronnd Manila Suffering Great Discomfort. MANILA, July 11.—It has been rain ing and storming almost constantly for two days and the country along the American south and bay lines is liter ally flooded. The soldiers are suffering great discomfort. The Thirteenth in fantry regiment at Pasay is in the worst position, being practically sur rounded by water. The bridges that were used for getting supplies have been washed away and some of the companies are now separated by streams six feet deep. In many cases the men are sleeping with three feet of water beneath their bunks, which are elevated on cracker boxes. The company cooks when preparing meals stand knee deep in water. Some of the roads leading to Pasay are simply impassable and the Rlee Field* Are One Great Lake. A high wind blew over several tents of the second reserve hospital. Manila bay is impossible of navigation by launches or canoes and no vessels are leaving the harbor. The United States transport Centen nial is ready to sail for San Francisco With discharged soldiers, but the latter have to stand around the water front all day drenched to the skin, waiting for a launch to take them to the steamer. The Pasig river and all other streams are swollen and the city at low points is covered with water. The Scrip Refined. ST. CLODD, Minn., July 11.—A repre sentative of A. A. White, the townsite boomer, tendered scrip and money at the United States land office for filing an entry of scrip on the Cass Lake townsite. Both were declined. The papers will be sent to Washington. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS. Cold Day for the Great Outdoor Peaee and Arbitration Gathering. DETROIT, July i0.—The great outdoor "international peace and arbitration" gathering, looked forward to as the most novel and perhaps the chief event of the Christian Endeavor convention week, was held at 4 o'clock under weath er conditions much more like those of October than those of July. Overcoats and jackets were in demand rather than linen coats and parasols. Skies were overcast and a northwest breeze, with an occasional dash of rain, blew freshly from Lake St. Clair across Belle Isle, where the crowds assembled for the peace jubilee. Speaking from various points of vantage was followed by presentation for adoption of the "Christian Endeavor Peace Memorial," a copy of which will be sent to the in ternational peace conference at The Hague. "Father Endeavorer" Clark has pre pared a program for use of local society and district unions for the year, which is a new departure, designed to give uniformity of thought and purpose to all. Tne morning's "Quiet Hour" in Tent Endeavor was more largely attended than either of the previous ones. The spirit of genuine piety is especially ap parent in these early morning meetings, as compared with the mere outwardly enthusiastic gatherings of later hours. The meetings in the big tents opened in Tents Endeavor and Williston with the usual great crowds on hand, and the singing as spirited as ever. The main tooic of the day in Tent Endeavor was "Saved to Serve." "Self Consecration" was the general theme in Tent Wil liston. RICH CLEANUP. Gold Stories From Damnn Country Con tinue to Arrive.
