Sioux City. Ia., June 2.r Ad
ditifinnl particulars of the flood a
Unrokee indicate it is the wors
ever known. It is stated that
hundreds of houses are washed
awy, rendering from 1200 to 1500
fatDtli'8 homeless. Reports are
com 11 g in from all qiiaiters el uu
pw-eeuentedly hih water m tl
suania. The injury to raiiroad
pioperty in Iobs of bridges and
destruction of crops along the
rU'ers is awful. The waters are
receding this morning. The des
fraction to property in Cherokee
alone is ulwml $200,000, besides al
fiiont all the stock pastured along
the Sioux river is drowned. No
further loss of life is rejiorted at
Cherokee beyond the four whose
drowning is already noted. It is
not known, but ossibjy eight
persons lost their lives around ami
about Correctionville.
The St. I'aul road suffered fie ere
washouts on its Sioux City, Iowa
and Dakota divisions. I rathe is
only delaied, however, on the
Inst division. I he telegraph wires
are down, aud the amount of dam
age is not known.
C herokee is shut in bv a vat
expanse of water, and it is feared
there villi be added to the already
suffering that threatens the pang
of lumber, its :ill the surplus titock
of provisions was destroyed by the
flood. 1 here is no prosjtect of
reaching the .people from any
direction until I lie water subsided.
Fort Dodge, Ia., June "5 Re
ports say that in the hi.xty miles
traversed by the storm, hundreds
of acres of ciops were devasted
and the destruction of other prop
erty is enormous.
Waterloo, Ia., June 25. Mosl
of the destruction in Cherokee was
wrought by the extraordinary rise
in the Sioux river, resulting lrom
he tremendous downpour of water.
The big truss bridge, on which the
Illinois Central crossed the river,
has also been carried away. Last
nigit t lie Jttie moux was at the
highest stage ever known. The
he.it information indicates that
the' Illinois Central rails are under
water continuously for many miles
on the Omawa branch, aud that
the damage to roadway and bridges
ia enormous. Traffic will be de
layed for many days. Other rail
roads besides the Illinois Central
can scarcely have escaped great
daniu-ze, particularly the Chicago
A Northwestern and the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. I'aul. As near as
can be learned, the storm affects
not only a huge stretch of country
in Iowa, but a large portio i also
of Minnesota and Nebraska.
Reports from Sioux City eay the
storm has almost devasted that
poition of Iowa. No trains are
runaing east. The Floyd r.v
vallev is inundated for thirty-ft v.
miles north of the city. The town
of Merrill, Hinton and James ar.
completely submerged. Thousan-1
of acres of crops are under watt .
TIIKY ARE SPLITTING.
All I Not Harmony In the Farm,
era' Alliance Camp,
Jacksonville, Fia., June 25. A
Jackson (Misu.) special to the
Times-Union gives some interest
ing gossip about Union National
Fanners' Alliance matteis. It
says that since the nomination of
the legislative committee, headed
by President Hall, of the Mis
souri alliance, last February, Hall
has been working vigorously
againtt the sub-treasury s. lieme,
and with his co-adiutators has
succeeded in otgairzing a move
ment covering the entire Southern
states, as is shown by a call for a
meeting of the an'ti subtrcasiiry
league at Dallas, Tex., in July
next. Within l he last month
President Polk has advi-ed Hall
to desist or resign from the com
mittee. He whs given until June
25 to reply. U is believed this de
cisive stroke was to frustrate the
objects of the anti-subtreasury
league and influence the less in
trepid opponents of the measure
than Hall to steer clear of Dallas.
Those who know Hall assert he
will decline to be coerced, and the
result will be a split in the na
tional alliance.

The present trouble has grown out

Portland, June 25. Captain
Joseph Myricfc, superintendent ol
the Connor creek mines, in Baker
county, came down liom lwkir
Ci'y yesterday.
Captain Myrick sjys the entire
district has suffered for the want
of water. Li:t!e cno- fell last
winter, and w hat did fall came :'n
February and was soon melted
and absorbed by the earth. There
va not sutlicienl to till the streams
a-id as a result, the placer miners
na"e buffered materially.
In fact, placer mining has al
most been exhav.sted, not alone
because of the lack of water, but
fair the reason that the supply oi
lirt has nearly given out.
The captain Kays that outside of
one or two plants, the district em-h.-acing

county has never been systematic

t je islands and derive their liveli
hood from the tealing industry.
When this number has been taken
seal killing is to be stopped and
farther orders awaited. It has
heretofore been supposed that"
this order would rot be issued
until after the English parliament
bad passed the behring sea bill
and an agree medt had been form
ally arrived at between Great
BriUin and the United States to
submit the dispute to arbitration,
but the president must have been
satisfied that the affairs were in
such shape that only f-ome necea
tarff formalities alxint w hich there
a ss little or m question remained
in the way of a complete under
standing, for the revenue cutt r
Rush, when it sailed northward
some days ago, carried the order
limiting the season's catch of the
company to 7500 and pioviding
that, at least eo far as this govern
ment was concerned, the year
1M)1 should be particularly a
"close ueason" in the seal
industry. The Treasury depart
ment rtfi'sal (o make i-ublic the
orders of the Rush at the lime aim
sailed. It was supposed from
what was made public that too
Rush had no orders changing the
"catch" of the company, and that
if a c'o-e season should lie ulti
mately determined on it would be
neces-ary to send another vessel
to the seal islands with stop
orders, but the fact now I earned
for the first tune shows that the
government has put iDto actual
operation its proiiosition to Great
Britain on the belief that there
w as no reasonable doubt but that
seal killing with the litnitatiois
stated would be forbidden by both
reat j;ntam and the L nited
Srales, pending a settlement of the
loiifVcontroversy. If, after all, the
recentstiegoiiations should be sud
denly hrt ken off and contrary to
li e universal opinion here the
efforts of the two governments
come to naught it will benecewsaiy
to send a vessel to notify the seal
company's agent of the fact, and
authorize a continuance of the
now generally prohibited seal
killing.

IIKNKV YILLAKD SAILS.
Two President
Philadelphia I'm-
A cay or two ago a gentleman,
whom nobody seemed to know,
came out of the Fifth Avenue
hotel, New York, and walked up
Broadway for some distance. He
was not far from 70 years of age.
His beard was quite gray, though
his complexion wits rosy; the
beard had recently been trimmed,
apparently, so that it was as short
as was that which General Grant
wore. The gentleman strolled on
with an easy gait, now and then
pausing to look in a window. Just
after he had passed the Victoria
hotel a very stout gentleman, w ho
had apparently been recently
shaved, who wore a light brow n
mustache, whose cheeks were
very billowy, and over whose shirt
collar apiieared a billowy mass of
tlesh, came fiom the Victoria. A
few ersoiis recognized him, and
now and then one or two turned
to look at him. I Io walked along,
indifferent, apparently, whether
any one noticed him or not. ne
was scarcely twenty feet behind
the other gentleman.
Thus, in Indian tile, they went
up Broadway for several blocks,
ea- h unconscicus that he was so
near such distinguished company.
There was a lesson in thU litt'la
scene. It was the suggestive les
son of the fate of ex-presidents,
and how quickly the greatest
ruler on earth, when he lays down
his office, becomes a plain, every
day citizen. The first gentleman
was Rutherford !. Hayes, and the
