Slgnlllcmt rtterances of Former Ital ian Minister of Foreign Affairs. LONDON, April 20,-The Spectator dlsciLMses the "Continent ff America," taking na a text a portion of an Inter view with Admiral Count Canevaro at Toulon, which the Spectator believes his not attracted the attention It de serves. Admiral Canevaro in concluding his utterances regarding the triple and dual alliances having given Europe thirty year of peace, said: "This fact would perhaps lead Eu ropean nations to consider the possi bility and necessity of uniting agamst America. Afrlc and Asia, as the fu ture of clvlllxatton will require them to do so." The Spectator does not consider this the rash outburst of the "man In the street," for Admiral Canevaro has been, Italian minister of foreign affairs. "Hit utterances," the Spectator eay., "correspond exactly with that of Ooun Ooluchonrskl (Austro-Hungarlan forelpf minister) and with all the recent trend of affairs. The annoyance of the con tinent with America,' which Is very deen Ih bused upon thrw reasons, the; first being tin- dreii or rather the conviction that competition with America Is nearly ImormslbW;, her wealth and energy bHng psi gwit, Jioth an: employed, the conilnnt thinks, to mon opolize (rile und so to control In the end all the wealth of tho world, an Idea not without advixMVs ?ven among our selves." 'The tfpectator mentions the giant trusts and protection and refers to the Anieiirins as "not scrupling p, com mence (iick and sever reprisal If the Kuroeii government fence them off with lurilTs." ' The se"ond reason," tl article says, "Is that Amerloa Is sadly In the way of Asia. Tht whole action of the Wash ington government In the Chinese mud dl points to th conclusion that al-lb-nigh the Amcrb'ans t'sk the Philip pines they are not willing to secure any but native powers In control of the rich, est countries of Asia." The third reason Is America's atti tude In South America. Sh- will neith er take It nor let anybody els", "The tola result is a blt(er dislike of America, mlxi-d with dread. Our ob ject Is only to awaken the American from an Motion, to Induce them to In rreas thi-lr ilt and to persuacle them to think ste.nlily out what tlK-y are do ing. They niuy rely upon It that the corit'nent will !' nothing by want of i.l, inning and that when the alliance agMlnat America of which Admiral Can-evar-i talks Is transmitted Into facts It will ! full grown Bnd fully armed."

HUGE STEEL PLANTS CLOSED Ten of TbooModi of Men Tarawa Out of Employment Crops Ruined-Esof mom Dimije to Rillrotdi Wires Dowi. PITTSPiriiG, Apr. 20.-Thl city Is the center of a widespread and dlsastfouj storm. For a radius of 1J0 mlle in western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and northern Virginia, rain or snow has been falling almot without Intermis sion for three days. Mountain etrea-ns have become torrents, creeks are swol len out of their banks and big rivers are oceans of turbulent waters. The flood records, It Is expected, will be broken before the water subsides. The financial loss cannot b estimat ed. In addition to the hundreds of thousand") and perhaps millions of dol lars It will cost to put the large manu facturing prints in commission again, tens of thousands of skilled workmen are thrown out of employment and lose their wages Just at a time when all the Iron and steel mills are rushed with orders. Tonight thousands of people are lying in the upper rooms of iheir water-soaked houses, without heat, light or food. The railroad officials cannot estimate the cost of repairs, but say It will be heavier than ever before !n the his tory of the railroads running to Pitts burg. DEVASTATION ALONO OHIO. CINCINNATI. April 20.-The peculiar weather conditions during the week have culminated In a rain and snow storm of almost unprecedented dimen sions so distributed that a flood of the Ohio river Is Impending. It U too ear ly to predict the extent of the coming ilood, but all signs point to a stage of water that must bring devastation of the most serious nature all along the Ohio river and its tributaries In Ohio. West Virginia and Kentucky. This condition Is something of a sur prise at Cincinnati, because while there has been rain almost every day In the week It w as not heavy enough to create apprehension. Put above Cincinnati, In Kentucky and West Virginia, flood rains were falling as early as Wednes day, nnd over a vast extent of the Ohio valley watershed it was continuous. This heavy rain served to cause a rise in the Ohio river. Until this morn ing It w-as rising all the way from Pitts burg to Louisville. Following these rains came the tre mendous snow fall of last night, which reached from Canada to Atlanta, with Its western border less than a hundred miles from Cincinnati. By its mere weight and by the force of the wind In many places, there was almost a complete paralysis of all the wires across th; snow belt today. From 12 to IS Inches of snow lies over Eastern Ohio and over the greater part of West Virginia and eastern Kentucky. This Is supplemented by the heavy rain In the head waters of the Ohio today. With warmer winds the vat snow area MADE HATS Are Made by Freemen Are Made by Experienced Men Are Made to Fit Better Are Made to Wear Better Are Made by Fair Labor To Sell at Fair Prices ISSUED BY AUTHORITY OF 4, CD 3 REGISTERED 1 ttzo will melt and add to th" great vol ume of the water. DAMAGE TO CROPS. LOUISVILLE. April 20. P.orlng streams, accompanied by high winds and heavy precipitation of rain and snow, were the conditions today In many of the states of the South. It Is f.-ared that In some localities th! young crops have liw-n stunted or killed by the fnt or cold. At many points, particularly In "as ern Kentucky, east ern Tennessee and Vlrgtn'a. the tem perature was lower than known In a decade at this time of the year. The coldest s-ctlon Is In the Plue Grass district and around Lexington. This is the best fruit-growing part of the state and It Is feared that there was damage by fifwt to not only the fruit but to the vegetables and tobac co crops. TORNADO AT CLEVELAND. CLEVELAND. April 20. The terrific storm of wind and snow which prevail ed In this city and vicinity today was one of the most disastrous to the tele phone and telegraph service ever ex perienced here. The wind reached a velocity of more than sixty miles per hour. Many of the streets of the city were strewn with broken poles and tangled wires. Several persons were severely shocked by coining In contact with live wires. Five or six horses were Instant ly killed by stepping on wires concealed under the snow. PLAGUE REALLY EXISTS.

VANCOUVER, Wash., April 20.-This. city was thrown Into a fever of excite ment this morning by the report that ' the First National Bank had failed. The first Intimation of the occurrence was the appearance of the following notice on the front door of the bank at the beginning of banking hours: "This bank Is closed and In the hands of the comptroller of the currency," signed, "J. W. Maxwell, Bank Exam iner." . . Nothing could be learned today rela tive to the financial condition of the concern as Bank Examiner Maxwell was not prepared to give out any state ment. The heavy depositors in the bank are generally of the opinion that the failure was due to bad Investments made by the officials of the bank dur ing the past ten yearn and carried alone ' as assets until discovered by the bank examiners. Charles Brown, the president, and E. , L. Canby, the cashier, have both dls aoteared and their present whereabout " are unknown. The failure Is a heavy blow to the town.

It was a profitable Institution many years, paying big dividends 'to the stdckhol-' ders. E. L. Canby has been the cashier . since Its organisation., , - Among the heaviest losers are the foU lowing: County Clerk Galther, eleven thousand dollars paid Into court two weeks ago. by the Oregon-Washington Railroad Co., as payment for right of way; John Cander, treasurer of Skamania county, ton thousand; E.
