CHICAGO, Juno 29. -'If the ralnsvm
tlnuc a few days longer the damgevto"
crops throughout the Middle-Western and
Western States, and the loss to farmers
will be beyond calculation," said Profes
sor Cox, of the United States Weather
Bureau, tonight. While he was speaking
reports were coming In showing that it
was raining practically all over the Middle
West, and that already many hooded
states were visited by an Inch or morq
of rain In 24 hours. In Chicago the rain
fall was more than an Inch. Illinois Is one
of the chief sufferers. All through the In
terior, as far south as the Ohio River, the
jfarms, are flooded. Corn fields, wheat fields,
meadows, pastures and gardens, have
toeenturned into lakes and ponds. Only
the most favorable kind of weather will
cave the agricultural communities from
beavy losses.
TWO DAYS OF RAIN.
Btorm Extends Through From Alle
gheny to Rocky Mountains.
ST. LOUIS, June 29. This city and vi
cinity are the center of a rainstorm of un
precedented severity that has prevailed
almost Incessantly since Saturday morn
ing. According to the local Weather Bu
reau reports, 5.5 inches of rain fell here
between 2:30 A. M. Saturday and 8 P. M.
Sunday, and the end apparently Is not In
eight At times the storm equaled a
cloudburst In severity.
The storm Is the most widespread that
has been experienced in this country for
many years, according to Weather Bu
reau, officials, extending from the Rocky
Mountains to the Alleghenles, through
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsyl
vania. The rainfall during yesterday and
today averaged from one to two Inches.
About an Inch on the average fell In the
states north, while In those in the South
the rainfall was slightly less.
Much damage, the total estimated at
about $250,000, resulted from the wind that
accompanied the rain. List night the
wind attained a velocity of almost 55
miles an hour, blowing down trees, tele
phone, telegraph and trolley poles and In
terfering with communication of all sorts.
At least 1000 shade trees In various parts
of the city are reported on the ground.
From the country surrounding come re
ports of destruction to crops apd the
washing out of railroad tracks and
bridges, causing much delay to trains.
Five hundred feet of the north wall of
the Varied Industries Palace, at the
World's Fair Grounds, fell last night as
the result of the storm, the water under
mining the, foundations when the wind
was at its height. In places the WJorJ&'s
Fair Grounds were covered with water:.
One of the most disastrous floods' in the
history of Alton. 111., and vicinity result
ed today from, the heavy rains of Friday
and Saturday. At i o'clock this afternoon
It Mas estimated that 10,000 acres had been
covered with the overflow of Wood River,
which Is three to six miles wide. Most of
this land Is either occupied by manufac
turing Interests or planted In crops. The
greatest single disaster caused by the flood
was the destruction of the plant of the
Stoneware Pipe Company, at East Alton.
The loss Is estimated at $40,000.
LARGEST EXPORTS.
Early Reduction Shovrn In Figure
on Iron and Steel.
WASHINGTON. June 29. The exporta
tion of manufactures during the eleven!
months ending with May, 1902, Is greater
than that of any preceding year, except
In iron and steel. The total exports of
manufactures for the eleven months end
ing t 1th May amount to $371,647,009, against
$378,533,490 In the eleven months of 1901,
or only $6,885,887 less than those of last
year. The exports of Iron and steel manu
factures for the eleven months are. 190,-,
780.571, against $109,483,827 In the corres
ponding months of last year, a reduction
of $18,703,256. From this lr would appear
that the exports of manufactures other
than Iron and steel are $11,817,309 greater
than In the corresponding months of the
preceding year. The exports of manufac
tures other than iron and isteel are, for
the eleven months ending with May, 1902
$2S0.S67,03S. For the eleven months ending
-with May, 1901, they were. $2C9.049.CC9. Fox
the eleven months ending with Mar, 1902,
they wer $283,050,704, but when it
is remembered that these figures Included
the exports to Porto Rico and Hawaii,
which are not included In those of 1901
and 1902, It becomes apparent that tho
Exports of manufactures otler than Iron
and steel in the eleven morfths of the
present fiscal year are greater than those
for the same period In any preceding year
in the history of our commerce!
While the exports of iron and steel
"have been decreasing, Importations of
Iron and steel have been increasing.
The following table shows the imports
and exports of Iron and steel manufactures
In eleyen months of each of the fiscal
years 1900, 1901, and 1902:
Iron and Steel
11 months. Imports. Exports.
1900 $18.fcS9.857 $110,038.875
1901 16.40S.99C 109.4S3.827
1S02..... 23.544.325 30,780,571
From this it will be seen that the im
portations of iron and steel manufactures
have materially increased during the
three years, and the exportatlong of Iron,
and steel materially decreased. The cause
of this change In the condition of the for
eign commerce in iron and steel is dis
cussed In the report of the Iron and Steel
Association, just received by the Treas
ury Bureau of Statistics, as follows:
"A marked change has taken place in
our foreign trade in Iron and steel since
this subject was prominently referred to
in our annual reports In-1899 and 1900. Jn
1889 and Immediately preceding years tho
iron and steel industries of Europe were
exceptionally prosperous; there was- an
active demand and prices were high. In
the years Just prior to 1899 the prices of
Iron and steel in the United States were
lower than they had ever been. Under
these conditions wo naturally found op
portunities to dispose of our surplus iron
and steel products in neutral markets,
and even in the home markets of our
European competitors. But these condi
tions have materially changed. The Euro
pean demand and European prices have
declined and the home demand upon our!
own iron ana eteei worKS has gr.ca.urjln-
creasea, while, our piaccs have advanced:
hence sbarpercompjetltiqn in nentrabjand,
all foreign markets and increased foreign5
ompetltlon in our own markets.
"The figures of Increased Imports and
ficcreased exports of Iron and steel should
not be hastily -dismissed by our iron and
Bteel manufacturers. We hope that they
will lead them, instead to dismiss the
thought that the world's markets for" iron
and eteel are to 3et"&fslly captured and
held. The activity In our export trade In
Iron and steel In the last few years was
exceptional and abnorma'L Not onfvls

industries, as wen as ior an oiner domes

Quiet on German Bourse.
BERLIN. June 23. The Bourse had an
.extremely dull week and many prom-
injejJt.s.ccuriues were not quoted xor some
da.y&.-'bgfause of the lack of transactions.
All .departments scored declines, especial
ly vc0al, .shares and Irons and machinery
snares .were unusually heavy. The pres-
.pnt.. tendency of speculators' Is to close
out engagements for the summer vaca
tion, believing that no improvement Is
probable In. the Immediate future and that
the forthcoming yearly reports will prove
disappointing. Another disquieting fac
tor Is found In the latest reports of the
coal and Iron Industries. The recent Im
provements In the coal situation seems
to have been reversed. Bank stocks were
all lower last week notwithstanding a
number of bond and stock flotations from
which good earnings may be expected.
The monthly settlement Is passing off
under much more favorable rates for
money than Is usual.
King's Illness Flattened Stocks.
LONDON, June 29. Wth only three
days of business list week, the Stock
Exchange shows little that Is worth re
cording. King Edward's Illness flattened
everything, prices falling in anticipation
of sharp celling, but no sales of Impor
tance were made. Quotations revived,
however, and the decline on the week
proved generally small. The demand for
money was strong, the holiday settlement
and the turn of the half-yjear all falling
together. The market was forced to go
about 10,000,000 In debt to the bank, but
there Is an expectation of easier rates
during the coming month and talk of
gold exports from New York. The gener
al feeling Is that there Is good business
ahead, barring a serious relapse In tho
condition of the King.
STRIKERS STILL FIRM.
But There Are Rumors That Coal
Men Will Break.
WILKESBARRE.Pa.. June 29. The be
ginning of the eighth week of the anthra
cite miners' strike shows no change In
the situation. At President Mitchell's
headquarters. National Board Member
John Fallon is In charge during Mr. Mitch
ell's absence In the West. Mr. Falon said
tonight that the miners were Just as deter
mined as ever, and unless there should be
arbitration the strike Is destined to go
on. The National board member also de
nied that there is any suffering, among
the strikers. He said so far there was
ho privation, and not likely to be anyfor
a long time to come. The local operators
seem to be a unit In saying that a break
In the strikers' ranks may come any
time. This belief is based on reports
which the operators claim to have re
ceived from many sources that the fami
lies of many of the strikers are In want.
An attempt will be made to start at
least three washerles In the Wyoming re
gion -tomorrow. One operator said tonight
that the, number of washerles now In op
eration was greater than at any time since
the strike began and that there was only
one step between operating a washery, and
a colliery. Sooner or later he thought
an attempt would be made to start up a
mine.
The Wilkesbarre lace mill, which has
been Idle for 10 days, will resume work to
morrow. The mill employs 1100 hands,
mostly girls. Because the superintendent
would not discharge five girls whose fath
er and brothers were working as non
union men In the mines, the other em
ployes quit work. The superintendent of
the mill then announced that there would
be no work until further notice. Lost
night lje was waited on by a committee
from the Central Labor Union and a tem
porary agreement reached by which all
hands will return to work. In the mean
time It Is thought a permanent settlement
will be reached.
While a number of Coal and Iron police
men -who are guarding tho Nottingham mine
of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre Coal Com
pany at Plymouth were cleaning their
firearms this morning, one of the guns
went off and a bullet struck one of the
officers. Benjamin Carr. In the side. In
flicting a very serious wound. The wound
ed man was removed to the Wilkesbarre
Hospital In a critical condition.
A notice was Issued from strike head
quarters tonight that all union miners
should keep away from Fernle, B. C,
where It is said a strike Is In progress.
It Is said that agents from British Colum
bia have been In the anthracite region
for some days past trying to hire men to
go to Fernle.
Mitchell In Chicago.
CHICAGO, June 29. President Mitchell,
of the United Mlneworkers Union of Amer
ica, arrived at Chicago today and will be
here several das. When asked the object
of his visit, Mr. Mitchell said he camo to
settle several questions In dispute In the
minds coal "fields which had been referred
to Commissioner Herman, Justice, of the
Illinois Coal Operators' Association, and
himself. These matters, he thought,
would be disposed of tomorrow.
Mr. Mitchell said matters were progress
ing as satisfactorily as could be expected
In the anthracite coal fields of Pennsyl
vania. Regarding the action of the coming
convention at Indianapolis he declared
that he bad nothing to say as he had no
idea what action the special convention
would take.
Union Pacific Machinists.
OMAHA. Neb., June 29. There has been
rio change in the situation of the Union
Pacific machinists' strike today. Each
side is waiting until Monday, when the
strike can. be noted. The company offi
cials declare the strike will not affect the
smaller shops of the road, and that only
the men at Omaha, Cheyenne and Arm
strong, Kan., will obey the strike order.
The executive committee of the strikers
declares that every machinist on the road
will refuse to work tomorrow morning.
Street-Cars Stoned.

LONDON, June 30. A dispatch to the
Dally Mail from Bombay, says there la
great alarm In Western India because
of the continued absence of monsoon,
heiheavy rainfall which usually comes

monsoon Is traceable to the eruption of
Mont Peleo on the Island of Martinique.

IN MEMORY OF CUMMINGS
HOUSE HELD FIRST' SOND AT SES
SION IN 01 TEARS.
Tribute's of Respect to the Dead New
York Conjrrcssmnh Also to Otey,
of Virginia.
WASHINGTQN, June 29. The House of
Representatives had a session today 'to
pay tribute to be memory of the late
Representative Amos J. Cummlngs, of
New York, and the lat Representative
J. Otey. of Virginia. By special direction
of Secretary Moody, the Marine Band was
in attendance in the lobby In the rear of j
the hall and rendered an appropriate mu
sical programme.
The widows and families of the decease
occupied the Speaker's pew In the gallery,
and delegates from Typographical Union
No. 6, of New York, the Letter-Carriers'
Association apd the New York Pilots' 'As
sociation came .here to honor Mr. Cum
mlngs' memory. The public galleries were
well filled. The eulogies were very im
preqdve. especially that delivered by Mr.
Cannon, of Illinois, the veteran chairman
of the appropriations committee, who paid
a tribute from the heart to the manly,
honorable character of Mr. Cummlngs.
Although services have been held In the
House on Sunday on previous occasions,
notably the death of Henry Winter Davis,
this was the first time In 91 years that
Sunday was made a Legislative day and
the House met on Sunday, with a Speak
er, clerks and all the other paraphernalia
which accompany the actual transaction
of Legislative business. Frequently In the
past the House has been In sesslpn on Sun
day, especially at the close of a short ses
sion, but such sessions alwaj-s have been
continuations of the Legislative days of
Saturday, and the Journal on Monday
showed no session on Sunday. In this
case, however, the journal of today will
be that of a regular Legislative day. In
frder to find a precedent for the session
oday, the House managers went back to
1S1L when the House held n session on
March 2. because of the pressure of public
business two days before the final ad
journment. March 4.
Mr. Cannon, In his eulogy of Mr. Cum
mlngs today, concluded his remarks as
follows:
"But what of the other side of the
river? Revelation and faith tell us that
we need not go there alone, for we enjoy
the universal desire that Is to be found In
each human unit from the beginning t)f
the race to the beginning of the life be
ypnd. The universal protest against ex
tinction Is the strongest kind of evidence
that our respective Individualities are not
to be wiped out, and all hope and believe
that somewhere in the great beyond, un
der universal law, we will each and all
continue to .jchleve the place In the Infin
ite existence that we are entitled to oc
cupy. "I trust when I shall cross the dark
river that I may arrive at that place In
space or condition, where I shall meet
such men as Amos "J. Cummlngs and
those with whom I have served that have
crossed the river Samuel J. Randall, Wil
liam D. Kelley, Benjamin Putterworth,
S. S. Cox and many others x could name,
and In such condition I shall be glad and
content." j.
Those who paid tribute to the memory
of Cummlngs were Messrs. McClellan
(Dem. N. Y.) and Foss Rep. III.), Cannon
(Rep. 111.), Sulzer (Dem. N. T.), McCall
(Rep. Mass.). Meyer (Dem. La.), Clark
(Dem. Mo.), Dayton" (Rep. W. Va.), Gold
fogel (Dem. 2. Y.), Lsster (Rep. N. Y.)
and Hooker (Dem. Mo.).
Eulogies were then pronounced on the
lafe Representative Otey, of Virginia, by"
Jones (Dem. Va.), Jenkins (Rep. Wis.),
Flood (Dem. Va.), Lanham (Dem. Tex.),
Hay (Dem. Va,). Morris (Rep. Minn.),
Swanson (Dem. Va.), DeArmond (Dem.
Mo.), Rhea (Dem. Va.), McCall (Rep.
Mass.), Graff (Rep. 111.), W. W. Kitchen
(Dem. N. C.) and Lamb (Dem. Va.).
Then at 3:25 P. M.,' as a further mark of
respect to (he memory of the two de
ceased members, tne House adjourned un
til 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.
SITUATION OF CONGRESS.
Few Measures Left to Seattle" Before
Adjournment.
WASHINGTON June 29. The exact
time when the present session of Congress
will come to a close cannot be foretold.
There Is no definite Information as to
when an agreement will be reached on the
Philippine clvlh government bill. How
ever, the consensus of opinion places the
adjournment on Tuesday, or. at the latest,
Wednesday. This prediction Involves the
opinion that the Philippine conferees will
be able to conclude their work tomorrow.
That they can do this Is quite evident, In
view of -what has already been accom
plished In the way of harmonizing the
differences of that bill and on account of
the probability that parts of the measure
will be dropped In case It should appear
that no agreement can be reached through
a prolonged exchange of views. Neither
House Is disposed to extend the session
for more than a day or two for the pur
pose of securing an agreement on all the
features of- the hill, when It Is felt on all
hands that the preservation of no ono
feature of the bill lsr necessary to Its suc
cess as a whole. It Is not believed Jn any
quarter that either House will consume a
great deal of time In debating the confer
ence report when reported, but, lest the
debate should run longer than is expected,
the resolution fixing the time for adjourn
ment will hot be brought In until tha
Philippine conference report shall bo
agreed to and accepted by both Houses.
Of the, appropriation bills only the gen
eral deficiency and the Navy appropria
tion bills remain to receive the finishing
touches. There are still somo points of
difference on each of these measures be
tween the two Houses, but none that can
not be harmonized whenever the Philip
pine hill shall be out of the way. Neither
House will attempt much other business.
The Senate calendar contains a number of
measures which can be discussed, and
there is an understanding In the House
that the militia bill will be used as a base
of discussion to fill In the time when con
ference reports arc not at hand for consid
eration. There Is also an understanding
that the London dock charges bill will be
taken up under suspension of the rules
after the adoption of tho resolution fixing
the hour for adjournment.
Both Houses will close the session with
exceptionally clean calendars and with
the feeling on all hands that It has been
a session of Important achievements.
CONFEREES HARD AT WORK.
But Have Not Yet Agreed on tho
Philippine Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 30 Tho conferees
on the Philippine government bill wore in
session a large portion of the day. They
met in the forenoon at Senator Lodge's
house, breaking up and reassembling at 9
o'clock. The second meeting was still in
progress at midnight. After the confer
ence took a recess at 4 o'clock it was
stated that no agreement had been
reached on the coinage and Philippine leg
ls'atlon branches of the bill, which have
been the chief obstacles to an agreement,
but It was said' tonight that Indications
were favorable' to an agreement being
reached.
The night session of the conference
lasted until 1:20 this (Monday) morning.
It was not conclusive, en arrangement
being to meet again at 10 o'clock. It was
stated by the conferees that there was
little doubt that an agreement could be
reached at the session today In time to be
reported to Congress during the day, thus
assuring a speedy adjournment of Con
gress. Tho questions still at Isme relate
to coinage, a Philippine Legislature and
land matters.
The session on the Philippine bill today
was one of tho Republican conferees, the
Democrats not being1 united, pending an
agreement by the majority.

X DRUG IMPAIRS SIGHT.
Chemists Saed for Damages Caused
"by the Use of Jamaica Ginger.
Chicago Chronicle.
' 'Manufacturing chemists, oculists and
the people of every local option town In
the United States are deeply Interested In
the outcome of the first of five damage
cases, aggregating $115,000. against a con
cern of Baltimore, which is one of tho
heaviest drug -firms and manufacturing
chemists In tho country and which will
be called Wednesday next In the Superior
Court.
The allegations on which the suits are
based are that the plaintiffs were made
blind by drinking preparations put up by
the house, notably the one called "Jamaica
ginger." in the manufacture cf which wood
or methyl alcohol had been used, instead
of pure grain or ethyl alcohol.
Behind the plaintiffs In these suits are
the leading oculists of New York. Phila
delphia and Baltimore. The specialists
have furnished the funds for the lawyers'
fees and the preparation of tho casw for
court. The five cases referred to may
be summarized thus:
Heirs of James Henry Duncan, of Cecil
County, Maryland, who claim that the de
ceased, after drinking one bottle of Ja
maica, ginger put up by the defendants,
was stricken blind and died .soon after.
Damages. $25,000.
Dr. George A Brehm. of Cecil County.
Maryland, became addicted to the use of
the ginger alleged to hove been put up
by the defendants and became totally blind
from the effects of the adulterant, or wood
alcohol. urd. Damages. $20,000.
Henry W. Jackson, of West Virginia,
declares he used the Jamaica ginger put
up by the defendants frequently, and Is
blind In consequence. Damages, $25,000.
Jimrod V. Dove, also of West Virginia,
alleges almost total blindness through the
use of the adulterated lemon extract al
leged to have been put up by the defend
ants, and In which wood alcohol was
used. Damages, $20,000.
Oscar Ox, of Somerset J County. Md.,
totally blind from use of Jamaica ginger
alleged to have been put up by the defend
ants, and In which wood alcohol was used.
Damages, $15,000.
Dr. Herbert Harlan, of Baltimore, and
one of the leading oculists of the country,
called attention to the prevalence of blind
ness among people who used Jamaica
ginger as a stimulating beverage last Win
ter In a long article published in the Oph
thalmic Record, and the article attracted
verj" great attention. Hh showed that In
the local option towns of Pennsylvania,
the Virginians and Maryland men who
craved liquor, but who found It difficult
to obtain, had resorted to the use of es
sences like Jamaica ginger for the effects
of the alcohol which entered Into their
preparation.
It Is said that the number of cases of
total blindness in the four states men
tioned exceeds 1000, all of them directly
traceable to the use of adulterated es
sences. The ease with which the prepa
ration could be secured added to Its dan
ger. Any country storekeeper Is permit
ted to sell "medicines."
After the publication of Dr. Harlan's
paper the Baltimore Ophthalmic Society,
urged, by specialists throughout the coun
try, decided to begin a crusade against
the makers of the stuff.
"Wood alcohol Is certain to produce
blindness when used as a drink, or other
wise Introduced into the system," said
Dr. Harlan. "If a large dose is taken on
an empty stomach death Is almost cer
tain to follow immediately. The con-
h sumption of wood alcohol by manufactur
ing cnemists throughout the country has
Increased enormously during the last dec
ade. It can be bought for 75 cents per
gallon, whllo the ethyl alcohol costs $2 45
per gallon. It Is time that the men who
are sending bottled blindness and certain
death broadcast through the country
should be halted."
Growth, of the Telephone.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
The statement is made In a current pub
lication that on the 1st of May, 1902, there
were, in round numbers, 3,400,000 tele
phones In use throughout the United
States. This means, if the figures given
are accurate, that In the past eight years
the number of telephones employed by the
American people In their daily affairs has
been multiplied more than tenfold.
It is usual to think of this convenience
necessity would perhaps be the better
word as practically an exclusive feature
of city life. Yet the assertion Is made
that over 200.003 Instruments have been
put In farm houses since 1895, and It Is
pointed out that the creation 6f small In
dependent companies designed primarily
t6 serve local needs, Is Increasing at an
unprecedented rate, especially In the medium-sized
towns and rural communities
of the West
This development, like many others,
which are certain In time to exert a pro
found effect on human life and habits, has
gone on without attracting much public
notice. It has kept pace with the growth
of the trolley system, which has linked
town and country together In a manner
which was unguessed a couple of decades
ago. It shows, more forcibly than any
rhetoric, what a tremendous stride was
taken when electricity was harnessed for
every-day use.

Up to tho present time our treatment
of Cuba has been not only honorable but
generous. It will be a lasting reproach
to the Republican party and to the Nation
If we deny the young republic those favor
able commercial relations with her older
and vastly more powerful neighbor that
are justly and logically her due.
Havana Negroes Want Equal Rights.
HAVANA June 29. A meeting of the
negro element In Havana at which Juan
Gualberto Gomez presided, was held here
today. It was declared that this meeting
represented all the negro organizations
of Cuba. Speeches were made denouncing
exclusion of the negroes from the Havana
police force, and demanding- equal rights
with the whites in all matters.
Prominent Manufacturer Dead.
AMSTERDAM, N. Y., June 29. John D.
Blood, a prominent manufacturer, of this
place, died today, aged SI years. For
many years he owned the largest broom
factory In the United States, which In
