BIG FALL OF WATER Cloudburst Rivers Brings Kansas Up 16 Feet FARMERS ARE FORCED TO FLEE MaHy Take Refnj?e In Treci or on IIoajtetopDa.ma.se to Crops and Property Xu Immense at atarysville and Vleits. MARYSVTLLE. Kan.. Aug. 23. A cloud burst struck In this vicinity early today, causing the Big Blue River to rise 16 feet within a, few hours, and sending a great flood of water south down the bottoms along that stream. -Many inhabitants In the lowlands were driven from their homes, and heavy damage to property was done. As far as known, but one death has been reported. Frederick Jvers, of Baileyville, was drowned near that town, going down with a bridge over a. swollen stream. Take Refnjre in Tree. Marysville was deluged and the bottoms i -were filled with water three to 15 feet deep. Fifty houses were almost entirely submerged, their inmates taking refuge In trees and on housetops. Nearly a hun dred persons were rescued in boats. The storm washed out the tracks on the Blue Valley branch of the Union Pacific for several miles, and wiped out the tele graph and telephone wires, cutting the town off from outside communication un til late today. Tonight the river is fall ing, although farms for miles around will be under water for several days. South of here, at the town of Blue Rapids, the Blue River rose to within a few inches of the highest point in the June rise, causing much damage to farm property. River Im Three 3IIle Wide. A wall of water struck Vlelts. a town of 1000 on the Vermillion River, east' of' here in the same county, driving the resi dents of the lowlands from their homes. All Che stores, and perhaps 25 residences, are Inundated. The damage at that place js estimated at $50,000. The river is three miles wide. Slight damage also was done at Mari etta, north of Marysville, close to the Ne braska line. The same storm struck Seneca, in the next county east, where four and three quarters Inches of water fell. It was the heaviest downpour since 1S93, and it left the Nehamaha River the highest for years. Many fields of corn were inundat ed, the Grand Island Railway bridge at Seattle went out, and several miles of track and half a dozen culverts ,on that road were wrecked. MGHTMNG CARRIES DEATH. Illinois aiau Sittinjr on n Porch In Killed and Three Are Injured. PEORIA, ILL, Aug. 25. A severe rain and electric storm passed over Messville, this county, shortly after 7 o'clock this morning, doing considerable damage. Quite a number of people congregated on the porch of a hotel and a bolt of light ning struck a tree directly in front and instantly killed George Pence and in jured John Crawl, John Epplnger and a third man whose name is not known. The injured will probably recover. Pence was foreman of the telephone construc tion force. Toielcn.Expect More HIrIi "Water. TOPEICA, Ivan.. Aug. 23. The Kansas River is slowly rising as a result of high water in the stream. The river, has been high for several days. Rain is reported tonight throughout the central portion of the state, and more high water is ex pected. TO SUCCEED TAFT. (Continued from First Pace.) Tho resignation was accepted by the President with the understanding that Mr. Root continue as Secretary of War at least until Jjuiuary 1. Governor-General "William H. Taft, of the Philippines, will succeed Secretary Root as Secretary of VVar. President Roosevelt today authorized the lollowlng statement: "The President some months ago ten dered the Secretaryship of "War to Judge Taft, and at that time it was arranged that he would succeed Secretary Root. Secretary Root will get out of oflice sbme time in January, and Judge Taft will as sume the duties of the office shortly after ward." Tho President also authorized the publi cation of the correspondence between him nnd Secretary Root concerning the lat ter's resignation. In full, the correspond ence follows: HesiKmattou of the Secretary. "Dear Mr. President: You have been good to assent to the sufficiency of the reasons for which I have wished to re tire to private life as oon as practicable after the establishment of the general staff of the Army and the completion of my full four years of service as Secre tary of War. While it 1b understood that you will probably not arrange to fill tho office as you wish before the end of the year, and that I am to remain in oflice in the meantime, it is probable that you will be ready to send a name to the Senate In November or December, and before you do so my resignation should be in your hands. "1 find- myself on the eve of sailing for Jlngland to attend the sessions of the Alaska boundary tribunal quite unable lo Judge how many months I shall be jeptaway from this country, and I there idre now tender my resignation of the of U,;e of Secretary of War to take effect Upon the appointment and qualification of siy euccessor. j. snail carry witn me un plated loyalty to your administration. ! vnfidenee in the sound conservatism and ! itrlfttlp unselfishness of vour nollev and ' widuring gratitude for the kindness and consideration with which your friendship his honored me, I shall not cease to ap preciate the sympathy and loyalty to President McKlnley with which you took ard carried on his work and I shall al ways be happy to have been a part of the administration directed by your sincere and rugged adherence to right and devo tion to the true interests of the country.

Washington My Dear Mr. Root: It is hard indeed for me to accept your resignation, and I do so not only with keen personal regret, but with a lively understanding the gap your withdrawal will create In public life. My sense of personal loss Is very great; and yet my sense of the loss to the Nation as o whole Is even greater. You have been over four years Secretary of War. I won der if you yourself realize how much you have Accomplished during that period.

"We never had a public sen-ant of .he Government who has worked harder than you have worked during these four years and a half, and this not merely in point of time, but above all In point of inten sity, and your success has been equal to your labor. The only reward you have had or can have is the knowledge of suc cessful achievement, of the performance in fullest fashion of a great public duty, the doing of which was of vital impor tance to the Nation's welfare. "Tour duties have Included more than merely the administration of the depart ment and the reorganization of the Army on an effective basis." You have also been the head of a department which dealt with the vast and delicate problems in volved In our possession of the Philippine, Islands and your success in dealing with your part of the work has been as signal as your success in dealing with the purely military problems. To very few statesmen indeed In any country is it given at the rne and the same time to achieve signal and striking triumphs in the administration and re form of the military branch of the Govr eminent and In the administration of what was in effect a department of insu lar dependencies, where the-problems were new to our people and were In them selves of great difficulty. Moreover, aside from your work in these two divisions ol the Government service. I appreciate most keenly the invaluable advice and assist ance you have rendered me In innumera ble matters of weight not coming direct ly in your departmental province, but in which I sought your aid with the cer tainty of not being disappointed. Your position on the Alaskan boundary com mission at the present moment is an illus tration of these services. "May all good fortune attend you wherever you are; the American people wish you well and appreciate to the full the debt due you for all that you have done in their behalf. Faithfully yours. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT.." MINERS CALL A STRIKE. Action of Management in Upholding Non-Union Man the Canse. COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo., Aug. 25. The most important development in the strike situation today was the calling of a strike at the Tsllurlde mill this evening by the Smeltermen's Union. Early in the day, a non-union workman who had In curred the dislike of the union men, was Assaulted by some of them, and as a re sult 'he resigned his position. Manager Fullerton Issued a notice to the men that if such a thing should occur again he would discharge every union em ploye of the mill. The strike followed and the mill was closed. About 150 men axe idle. The Telluride has heretofore em ployed union and non-union men indis criminately. UXIOX CHARGED WITH 3ITJRDER. Knight of Labor Under Suspicion in Death ofXew York Man. NEW YORK. Aug. 25. Surrounding the death of John G. Denny. an expert ma chinist, conspicuously identified with a warfare waged hetween labor unions, are circumstances so suspicious that the po lice have been called upon to Investigate. It is the assertion of the man's widow that he was murdered because of his la bor differences, and that men opposed to him in organizations killed him or Insti gated his death. This belief of foul play is shared by Denny's friends and shop companions. Denny's body was found near 'Erie Ba sin Sunday. His head was in the shallow water, but one leg was entirely dry. His faco was badly battered and other bruises were on his body. His money and watch were undisturbed. The widow has told the police that her husband frequently had been threatened by men opposed to the Knights of Labor, with which he affiliated. A watchman at the dock says he saw Denny and another man walk out on the pier early Sunday morning and declares neither man came back. So far the police have found no corroboration of the watchman's state ment as to any person accompanying Denny, but say he started home alone about midnight, a few hours before his death. POLICE GUARD WHILE HUNGRY EAT ChicaKO Walter Continue Strike, but Close yo Restaurant. CHICAGO. Aug. 23. Striking waiters and cooks made another desperate effort today toput into effect the strike order which yesterday proved almost a failure. Pickets were posted about all the estab lishments where strikes were called to stop, if possible, the men continuing at work. Committees also visited other res taurants to call their employes out, meet ing with but indifferent success. An ap peal for aid to the steam power coun cil, which controls the light, heat and power in the big cafes and restaurants, resulted in the appointment of a special committee from that organization to in vestigate the merits of the strike. Secretary Archibald, of the Restaurant keepers' Association gave out a statement today, in which he said the association had won a complete victory in the pres ent strike difficulty. Of nearly 50 strikes called since yester day morning, not one has resulted in the closing of a restaurant. Pickets posted at 30 restaurants to prevent dmner crews from going to work failed to prevent meals from being served. Police kept guard while hungry citizens dined. HEARD MIXERS' GRIEVANCES. Carroll D. Wrljiht 3Icet With Con ciliation Board as Umpire. NEW YORK. Aug. 25. The board of .conciliation provided for by the anthra cite strike commission met today behind closed doors. Carroll D. Wright met with the board for the first time as umpire. Several matters on which the board failed to reach an agreement were submitted to Mr. WrlchU When the board adjourned, Mr. Wright said he would not render his decision as umpire for some time, but would take the evidence with him to Washington,. and go over It carefully before deciding. Another meeting will be held tomorrow. Arnltcd by Union Men. COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo.. Aug. 23.

Aug. 25. The body of an un identified man has been found in the Des- plaines River at Riverside, and the police think & murder has been committed. A knife wound in the left side would have caused death. There were no other marks on the body and the pockets of the dead man contained nothing by which he might be identified. He was between 40 and 45 years old and well dressed. Valparaiso Bakers' Strike Ends. NEW YORK. Aug. 25.

AGAIN THE RELIANCE WINS (Continued from "First rage.) which allowance was mad- to her. The IB seconds were dead loss. The official starting time was: Reliance. 11:00:36. Shamrock HI, UKC.-OO. The actual starting time of the Sham rock was 11:02:19. Both went across the line on the starboard tack, but held that tack for not more than a minute, and then headed for the Jersey coast. Once fairly away. Captain Wrlnge. of the Shamrock, resumed his tactics ofthe previous race, gave his boat a good rap full and sailed through the Reliance's lee and got under her lee bow. while Captain Barr pinched the Reliance close Into the wind and began to cover the distance to the windward mark. Captain' Wringe's maneuver gave him a wind clear of Inter ference, and when once satisfied that tho Reliance could not blanket his boat, he flattened in his sheets and began to point closer to the wind. Captain Barr. how ever, was nursing the Reliance up to windward In masterly fashion. Reliance First to Go About Half an hour after the start, the dis tance between the two boats had widened materially, the Reliance pointing higher and the Shamrock footing faster. They were half a mile apart when they tacked off Highland Beach at 11:42. The Reli ance was the first to go about. When both yachts were filled away it was clear that the Reliance was gaining. The Shamrock III was far astern, and very little to windward of the Reliance's course. Meantime, the wind had been increasing and was now blowing at the rate of seven knots. Carrying a hard full, the Sham rock III was heeling prettily, mowing through at a fast clip, and making much more fuss under her bows than the Amer ican boat. Captain Barr was pinching the Reliance into the wind until her little baby Jib fluttered. The race was being fought out on the same lines as tho pre vious .race. The Reliance sought to make her gain b outpointing the British boat, while the latter endeavored to make up for what she lost in pointing by footing faster with a rap fulL Straight Course to Turnlnjr Mark. At noon, the wind had increased to ten knots and hauled about a point to west ward, so that both yachts could lay a straight course to the turning mark, not more than two miles distant. They were heeling hard and dragging their lee rails through a lather of froth and sending t spurting from their bows In a fashion that indicated that they wer making at least 12 knots, and there was little danger that the race would not be finished within the time limit. Without making another tack, both boats made the turn of the fjrst mark as follows: Reliance. 12:21:30. Shamrock, 12:21:45. Reliance Has the Race Won. Though the Reliance had a lead of three minutes and fifteen seconds, she stilr lacked six seconds of making up the time allowance and the difforence of one min ute and twenty-four seconds at the start Officially, the Shamrock III was still six seconds ahead of the slippery Yankee craft, but It was evident that the latter had won the race, barring accident. In a breeze varying from four "to ten knots an hour, she had made good the time allowance in a ten-mile thresh to windward, and there was every reason to believe that, in reaching and running. which are her two strongest points of sailing, she would quickly overcome that official six seconds. Both captains broke out balloon jib top sails when they squared for the second turn. The wind was so far aft that they quickly decided that, instead of being a broad reach, as intended, the course to the turn was a run. Spinnaker booms were guyed out, and the great sails added to the tall reaches of canvas. Staysails were taken In and. with spinnaker booms guyed well forward the yachts ran away for turn. Benin to Leave Challenger. Both were heading off their course a bit In order to make their spinnakers draw well, and they ran that way for half an hour, when the Reliance smothered her spinnaker and began to set her staysail. During that time, sho did not appear to have gained an inch, but Immediately on laying her true course, she began to draw away. Ten minutes after tne Reliance, the Shamrock III also took in her spin naker, set her staysail, and headed for the mark. With the wind over their quar ter, both yachts made fast time of It. but it was apparent that the Reliance was gaining. They made the second turn as follows: Reliance. 1:17:50. -Shamrock. 1:21:45. The Reliance was leading by three min utes and 55 seconds, having gained 40 seconds in the run across from the first to the second mark. She had over come the time allowance, made good the difference at the start, and established a margin to her credit of 34 seconds.WJth a close reach still to be made, mere was faint hope for the challenger. Defender First Around Mark. The Reliance whirled about the mark, gybed over, trimmed in her sheets, and romped away on a close reach toward Sandy Hook lightship and the finish line. She was three-quarters of a mile away before the Shamrock III rounded the mark. Both yachts wore heeling before a 12-knot wind from south by west, and were sailing at least one mile an hour faster than the wind was blowing. Their sheets were eased just enough to put them on almost their best point of sailing, and one upon which the Reliance has often demonstrated that she is faster than any racing craft ever built. She was heeled just enough to bring her long overhangs to bear and give her the benefit of her great sailing length. The guide vessel, coastwise, was scurrying along ahead of her at full speed, but the Reliance was overhauling her Inch by inch, and when the lightship hove fair in sight, about two miles away, was not more than a quarter of a mile astern of the guide vessel. A mile further on the Coastwise sheered 6ff and gave the Reliance a clear course to the finish. As the wind softened, the Reliance first set a baby Jib topsail, which the Sham rock had been carrying since turning the second mark, and then exchanged it for a big reaching Jib topsail, in which the Shamrock promptly followed suit. Shamrock Gains at the Last. y When the Reliance was a quarter of a mile from the finish line, the wind died away considerably, but the Shamrock III came booming along, carrying a splendid breeze and fast overhauling the leader. It looked as though the British boat was going to get within her time limit, but the finish line was too close, and the Re liance slipped across it with one minute ond 19 seconds to spare. The Shamrock III finished in a softening wind and both boats Were taken In tow to Sandy Hook. The official time: Elapsed Cor'ted Start. Finish. Time. Time.

Crcvrn of Both Yacht Are Ont Early Preparing for the Race. NEW YORK. Aug. 25. The crews of the two . contestants were out early and before breakfasting had taken the covers off their mainsails and raised their jibs and staysail: in stops. After breakfasting at " o'clock Sham rock's crew started at once to work on the new mainsail, expecting It would take more time to get a proper set to it than if using the old one. At 7:45 they had it well under way. while Reliance at the same time began to raise hers. The Shamrock got her new mainsail in JJU.IA;, o3u to uiu&e bauore It looKeu. very uiucu of uu improvement over me oa ouc It did nut i&p tne ooom, any it act up well, to mett toe ciub topsail.

" .Kciiaucu v,is usui& ' only one new sail. una tnat a jiu wmcu set a. utile natter than her oid jio, ana this, too, was consid ered of advantage to tnat coat on tne rech. Mr. Iselin went aboard Reliance while his crew was at nrcakiast on tne tender, siir Vhomas, ou tne deck of tne Erin, was Inclined to be less communicative man usual. He finally said: "I think we will get a "good race today, ana 1 nope our ntw sali'may De a suc cess." Mr. Iselin was in excellent good humor, and to a query said: 1 "It looks like good racing weather, and It looks' like Redance weather, also." Reliance began to raise her mainsail at S:20 and by that time Captain Wringe had got Shamrock's sail to his liking after having sent two men to pull it taut at the boom end, so as to draw out the wrin kles from along the gaff. It wrinkled then omy where it was likely to catch the full force of the wind on the reach and hold It. Reliance's mainsail showed hardly a wrinkle, and looked half as big again as that on the Shamrock. Captain Wrlnge was evidently In good spirits after his sail was fitted. He paced the deck with the New York Yacht Club's representative, smiling and jok ing. Reliance's Vail was got up quickly, and at S:30 both boats were taking aboard the day's provisions for the crews. Reliance raised her club topsail at 8:32 and after the trimming of- yesterday It fitted perfectly. Mr. Herreshoff, builder of Reliance, who passed the. night on1 his yacht Roamer. which was anchored in Sandy Hook Bay, went aboard Reliance after taking aboard an extra topsail. Reliance dropped her moorings just be fore 9 o'clock, and under mainsail and club topsail was ready to go to the start. She started on the port tuck, broke out her staysail and Jib, and caught the breeze beautifully, rounding the Hook like a great w'hlte bird. As she went out the passengers on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, which was coming In from Cherbourg, gave her a cheer. Shamrock at 9 o'clock took a line from the Cruiser, her tender, and was towed out with her mainsail set. The American yacht left under sail for the first time. Thursday and Saturday of last week she had the services of a tug. Before going out a No. 2 club topsail, one of the largest on the boat, was sent aloft, and breaking out twolower head- sails she sllnned away from her moor- lngs. and. easily rounding the point of i the Hook, stood to the eastward through j the main ship channel. Two or three miles off the Hook Reliance took a line, from her tender. About this time the regatta committee, on board the tug Navl- j gator, and accompanied by the other tugs , of the club fleet, came down from New ork and passed out of the Hook. Soon after 10 o'clock both yachts ar- rived at the lightship and cast off their j tows. Nearly an hour remained before! the starting gun was to be fired. Sham- rock's crew worked smartly, and Inside of i .n ,. i. ..n i. j I " ""fa- ouno net Hook proved somewhat smaller than weather conditions warranted, and Can- f tnln Wart- flnrllno- tho ., enrnxth r,A tho wind comparatively light, decided to ... - -1 ...p, v- change for a larger one.

Five minutes after the regatta committee had raised the signal for a triangular race the thre sets of flag? were broken out on the .Htny, denoting tho direction of the three legs. As read from shore the first leg was south, giving the boats a beat down tne jersey snore, ine next was northeast by east one-half east, which, un der the conditions of the wind prevailing at the time, would give the yachts a broad reach from the first to the second mark on the starboard tack. The preliminary signal was fired at 10:45 and Immediately afterward the fight for position began. LirTOX SAYS REST BOAT TVOX. Slinmrock Is Improving, However, nnd He Hope to Take Next Race. NEW YORK. Aug. 25. After the race. ! Sir Thomas Llpton said: . "You have all seen the. races, and the oniy tning i can say is inai we aia uener tn-dnv than In the last race, which is hopeful I figure my defeat at a little more than one minute. If I make as much progress in the next race as I did over the last. I will be In line to win the third race. I was more than pleased at the way my boat was handled today. It Is hard to admit It, but the best boat won. Perhaps with more wind at the finish, the result might have been different- But I do not want to throw any cold water on The Greatest Train in the World The above picture shows the recent record-breaking shipment of starch made by The Oswego Starch Factory, Oswego, N.

Lord Shaftesbury said: "We are licked. The Reliance is Jolly well the best." C Oliver Iselin said: "I don't suppose anybody ever saw 'two boats better han dled than those today. It would seem, howeyer. that the Reliance has proved her superiority In all kinds of weather, and under all conditions." PLEASURE BOATS IX COLUSIOX. J. P.

The first serious accident which has marked the nlghtly race home of the steamship fleet from the racing course took, place tonight in the collision of J. P. Morgan's yacht ' Corsair with the fast Sandy Hook steamer Monmouth, un der charter by the New York Yacht Club and filled with members and their friends. The Corsair struck the Monmouth a glancing blow on the starboard side near ly amidships, her bowsprit raking the Monmouth's side, breaking stanchions and awning supports and smashing woodwork and glass. The Corsair fell astern carry In? a part of a twisted iron support on her bowsprit, but not appearing to be dis abled. On the Monmouth there was a brief panic, the many passengers on that side of the boat rushing away to safety. Several women fainted, it is said, but no one was hurt. BIRDS HALT TROLLEYS. Sparrows Build Xest in a Kansas City Svritchbox. New York Times. Two little sparrows stooped the cars on the Southwest Boulevard, Kansas City.

Haing noticed the inquiry in the Sun day Oregonian as to an "ambidextrous pitcher," I wish to state that I have seen a pitcher use this peculiar delivery to great advantage. The young man I refer to Is a Minnesota Indian by the name of "William HoIe-in-the-Day. He halls from the White Earth Indian Reservation of that state. The last I heard from him was several years ago, and he was then work ing his way into very fast company. "READER."
