Trinidad, Colo., Oct. 3. A teriific flood struck the city of Trinidad and the whole valley along the Las Animaa river, today, devastating a wide section and causing a money loss which a present cannot be estimated, but which may reach several hundred thousands of dollars. Every bridge in the city of Trinidad is out, the Santa Fe station is demol ished, all of the railroads are tied up, and the telephone and telegraph services completely suspended. More than SO city blocks in the residence and busi ness sections were two to four feet under water along the rvier So far as known at noon no lives were lost, but there were many narrow escapes. The flood was caused by the heavy rain which has been falling for two davs. At 8 o'clock last night the storm assumed cloudburst proportions, and at 2 o'clock this morning the Las Animas river went over its banks. At 3:30 it was impossible to get within a block of the river bed at any point, and Commercial street was flood ed for three blocks in the heart of the business district. Meantime the elec trie light and gas plants had been flood ed. and the city was in complete dark ness. Hundreds of citizens thronged the streets on the edge of the submerged district carrying lanterns and doing their best to provide those di iven from their homes with shelter. Warning of the flood was given when the river left its hanks by revolver shots and the ringing of the Are alarm, fol lowed by the blowing of all the loco motive and ehop whistles in town Citizens upon rafts made of sections of sidewalks paddled through the streets, rescuing families who were in danger. The new Bacca hotel, a two story structure just reaching completion at cost of $20,000 on the river bank, was destioyed. The water then ate its way through 50 feet of the ground to the Santa Fe depot, which was carried away. The city is divided by the Las Animas river, which is spanned by six wagon bridges. All of the bridges were washed out and many residents were nnable to reach their homes or to communicate with their families, the telephone system being wrecked. TO SETTLE WATER SUIT. Effort Is Being Made to Annex Part of Kansas to Colorado. Pueblo, Colo., Oct. 3. An effort at solution of the Kansas-Colorado water suit is in pr igress, and if the efforts of those most interested in the caee are scceesful a strip of the western portion of Kansas, about 150 miles wide, will be annpxed to the state of Colorado, and the litigation now be fore the supreme court at Washington wijl be thrown out. Politicians in both Kansas and Colo rado are working for the passage ol a bill through the legislatures of both states whereby tfle western portion of Kansas can be taken into Colorado. This, it is thought by those who have given the irrigation question much tudy.will solve the difficulty, and both states will be benefitted to a great ex tent. L. P. Worrten, of Syracuse, Kas., and C. C. Kennison, of Garden City, Kas., a candidate for representa tive from that county are in Pueblo in the interest of the plan. ' It would settle the water question in Western Kansas forever and the suit now in toe courts wouiu be dropped as there would no longer be any reason for continuing it" said Mr. Wordon to day. Both Mr. Worden and Mr. Kennison appeared before the government com mission when it was in session here, and are thoroughly familial with the situation. They say they are supported by practically every resident of West ern Kansas. Inventor Dies a Charity Patient. New York, Oct. 3, Once wealthy and with a host of friends among prom inent and wea'tby men in the coun try, Charles Y. Yea ton, the inventor, is dead at the home of incuiables, a charity patient. Paralysis, from which he had suffered two years, caused his death. Yea ton invented a number of machines, among which was a type setting machine, tho first ever offered for sala. He enjoyed an intimate ac quaintance with President Andrew Johnson, who offered him a diplo matic poet at St. Petersburg. Aldermen Indicted for Grafting. Buffalo, Oct. 3.

The entiro absence of news from Port Arthur, it is feared, indicates a closer blockado there. Hitherto, dispatches from General Stoessel have been coming through semi-wecKly. Tho admiralty has not received anv details of the re ported sea fight off Aniva, at tho south eastern extremity of Sahalin. Tho Vladivostok equadion, it is understood is still in the harbor. Tho cannonad ing at Aniva was probably a Japanese attack on blockado runners. A telegram received here from Bat oum reporting that reserves are being transported along tho Caucasian coast brings the first intimation that troops are beme mobilized there. There are only two army corps in tho Caucasus and one of them has apparently been ordered to tho Far East. Prince Sviatopolk-Mirelcy was re ceived in audience yesterday by tho emperor. The princo will assume charge of tho ministry of tho interior today. The latest developments in tho situ ation at the front is tho definite estab lisbment of the fact that Field Marshal Ovama has now begun to move up his left. General kuropatkin's report shows that the Japanese have reached Davan, on the west bank of the Liao river. A considerable concentration oi Japanese is observed at Sianchan, on the Hun river, 35 miles southwest of Mukden, and Japaneso cavalry is mass ing in the vicinity of the Pu river The latter is a tributary of the finn river, which crosses tho line of railway midway between Tie pass and Mukden and ma; furnish a natural line of ad net from the went. Oyama's armies now apparently cov er a Irpnt of bU miles lor enveloping movements. His wings are extended to the northeast and west of Mukden Thus far the Russians have found little strength of pressure from the Japanese center. Ovama see in a to be moving with great deliberation, probably gath ering Btrength for a rapid advance of both wings when an attempt is made to close the net. Although the imaginary line connect ing the extreme Japanese advance and west of Mukden still passes ten miles below that city, it is evident that the fate of Mukden cannot long be delayed If General Kuropatkin intends to try to hold the city fighting on his flanks will begin almost immediately. ALEXIEPP TO COME HOME. CLOSE ON PORT Japanese Steadily Advancing at Port Arthur. I W. BOLTON Sfc CO. DEALERS IN SEVERAL POSITIONS TAKEN His Position Will Be That of An Advisor to the Emperor. St. Petersburg, Sept. 29. Althongh an official announcement to the effect is not expected immediately, since it will require some little time to get But sia'e second army in the field, the dea- gnstion of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaevitch, the inspector general of cavalry, as commander in chief ia re garded as practically settled. The Bit nation at the front, with two, and per naps ultimately three, big armies, is considered tp. demand, above all else, that the supreme commander be of such persohal authority as to be be yond jealousies and the possibility of intrigue on the part of subordinates, and such a man the emperor now rea izes can only be supplied by a member of the imperial family. Grand Duke Nicholas is regarded as extremely well fitted for this great responsibility. Grand Duke Nicholas will not rely upon a single adviser, but on a staff comprising the ablest strategists of the general staff, who m reality will con stiute a board oi direction of military operations. Viceroy Alexieff is regarded as al most ceitain to return here. The re port that he may become chancellor of the empire, however, is exploded. He is more likely to retain his title and come to Kt. reteraburg, nominally in ... . . tne capacity of adviser to the emperor. and will thus efface himself as a factor of the military situation in the Far East. Attempt to Ruin Warships. New York, Sept. 29. With the in tention of ruining the hull of tho battle ship Connecticut, which will be auncbed today, an obstruction was placed on the ways. When it was placed there, or by whom is not known, as it was not discovered until divers were Bent down to make an in- il i -m . vesication, inis investigation was made as a matter of precaution and the naval officers then leaiiied that an ob struct ion nau been placed on the waya mat would have destroyed the work of months. Carshops are Closed. Chicago, Sept. 29. The Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific railroad company today practically closed down its car and locomotive shops here. The on forced idleness came unexpectedly The union boiler makers employed in the shops had made demands for high er wages a few days before the shut down came. General Superintendent of Motive Power Reed, however, denied that the shutdown was in any way at tributable to these demands. Torpedoboat Lost. London, Sept. 29.

The news recolvcd from Port Arthur continues to show steady, if slow advance of the Japaneso noon tho Iluseian fortifications. Day by day the remoter positions of tho be leaguered fortress arc being takon by tho Japanese, and that its fall is only a matter of n short time is tho general belief here. The nuinbor of Chinese refugees arriving hero increases con stantly, and this it takon to bode no good for the RuesianB. me last oi tne umnese to arrive from Port Arthur roport a still further advance by the Japaneso. They assert that several of the most important po sitions held by tho Russians, farthest from tho central fortress have boon taken by the Japanese, tho latter in dieting considerable loss upon tho Rue- 8JrXJ!& for Price List and Discounts. Next Door to Landoffice with the help of mines, made their way within the fortifications. The Rueeians were taken by surprise and were able to offer, little resistance. Finding they were unable to hold thoir own against the Japanese tho Russians retreated, leaving their dead and wound ed behind them. When the Japanese attack wag dis cerned by tho o her Russian forts they at once opened fire, and at last ac counts this was still being maintained. It is considered doubtful whether tho Japanese will be able to retain posses- nion of their newly acquired positions. The greater portion of the Japanese fleet has returned to tho Japanese base i in the Eliot islaudB, the Japanese com mander having become convinced that the Russiun vessels within tho haibor of Port Arthur are almost incapable of further resistance and of making any sortie into the open sea.
