In Some PUo Iwelv Feat Deep -8treami 100 Feet Vide Flowloe lute the 'I Luke San Fran io, July- 15. The Examiner this morning prints a communication from its corres pondent at Salton who mode the trip by boat from Yuma to Salton over the Colorado river and the flooded Colorado desert. Six miles below llanlon's the party left the Colorado river and turned northwest into the wide slough, and after proceeding about 25 miles ran into a iaguna of the Colorado river. This wan the first place where they saw the water leaving the Colorado river on its way to the desert. It seemed to be breaking out of the river in many places. There was a bar forming, and the correspondent expresses the opinion the river will probably eventually change its channel and throw a great vol ume of water into the desert. There is water all over, the bottom lands, wi.ich is a great cattle country, and in one of the chan nels lrom the river the water is 12 feet deep. The current continued north and the party followed it, the extent of the flooded district becoming greater as they ad vanced. At a point about ten miles from Adams, another stream 100 feet wide and 12 feet deep jon.ed their?. 1-or miles from heie their course was through a biic cegsiou of lakes connected bv channels froi i 200 to 4 X) yards: wiuc, and all very deep. A num ber of waterfalls were met with where the stream cut its way through the sandhills. At some distance after they entered the so- called Salton lake proper, tney entered another stream, supposed to be Carresco creek. This and the channel are the only streams flowing into the desert. The cor respondent states that while the water seemed to be falling and wa? from one to five feet deep in bal ton lake, there is a volume of watery which must apparently come'!? 'rom various lakes along the ro.ite, and that the streams themselves are carrying much water, tie believes a channel ie permanently cut, and that it will always contain water except in the lowest stages of the Colorado river. CATGUT THE DELINQUENTS Sec. roster Has a Couotiar l' In the Treasury Department, Washington, Julv 16. Secre tary Foster a few days ago con ceived that it would be a good idea to "round up" the clerks in the treasury department who are away on sick leave, and in doing bo be uncovered an interesting state of aflairs. Under the law at present, a clerk absent on eick leave diawe about two thirds of the salary of the position, wbile the duties sir performed by a substitute select. from the civil service list of ihs-" hies, who draw the remainder the salary. In making his "ronn up" the Fecretary finds that number of clerks have been absent for months, the only evidence ol their existence being the occasion al appearance of a physician's csr- tilicaie and the regular issue 01 a monthly check. One clerk, a woman has not been on duty for two years; and a chief of division who was appointed early in the administration reports that he has never seen a certain clerk w tiose name it on the roll. All delin quents of this kind will be notified that if they are not on auiv at a fixed date their places will be tilled. She Improved Her Chances. Cincinnati. July 15. John Rob erts passed as a single man. tie was i ich and courted, but to all appearance lived a bachelor life. A year or so aito be died. Then came forward Miss Alice Nickert, who claimed possession of the es tate, worth something like $100, 000, setting up the claim that she had for years lived with Roberts as his wife under an assumed name. The Roberts family started in to fi"bt the case and it dragged some months through the courts. To-day Miss N'ckert accepted $14,000 cash to drop the case. She had secured about $20,000 from Roberts during his life, which had been judiciously invested in realty and she has a lot of valuable jewelry. KnlchU Templar Fllarlmat;e Nkw York, July 14. Temple Commandery of Knights Templar, organized in 1706, accompanied by TeniDlars lrom commanueries in nearly everj state in the union, left by the steamer City of Berlin for the Old World to-day. The pilgrimage expects to visit all the principal cities in Europe, and will return in about six weeks. The City of Berlin was chartered for the occasion. The cost ol the pilgrimage is estimated at 150,- 000. Connecticut aod Electrocution. Habtford, July 15. One of the matters which may engage the at tention of the present Connecticut legislature is the question of sub stituting electricity for hanging in the infliction of the death penalty in this state. The refiort of the re cent electrocution of four murder ers at Sing Sing has led dillerent parts of the state to the considera tion of the subject. Representa tive Stephens, of Bridgeport, will probably introduce the bill. He will be careful, however, to omit the clause regarding secrecy, as he regards that very un-American idea prejudicial to the interest of society and a diiect violation of the constitution of the United States, so far as it relates to the liberty of ' the' pre?s. Ho cannot see where the slightest good is de rived therefrom. Oregon's Climate. Corvallis Leader: The blessings of this Oregon climate can be realized by those who read the re ports of the deathly hot wave banging over the Sacramento valley at present. Many have been prostrated by the "intense heat, and yet we hear people prais ing the grandeur of California climate. THE LION r CAUSED IT A PERFECT PANIC AT A C1KCUS WITH INJURIES TU MAN V. A Lion Gets Loose anil are Frlglened ar.d Demented. the I'eople Apparently Rock Island, July 15. Fore paugh's tdiow exhibited at Rock Island to day and gave a scene not down on the bills. The afternoon performance was attend. -d b some ($,(H0 people. Juntas the crowd started lo leave tliebiti-iit, there was a cry heard :t! i he entrance, "the lion is loose." The passage way out of the tent was' packed with people, and back of them were some more pushing to get out. The alarming cry was repeated and the circus employes rushed in to force the crowd back into the tent. Women shrieked and children cried, wbile men lost their heads in confusion. Pickpockets took advantage of the opportunity to do their work, and succeeded in several instances. One woman was carried to the nearest house and a doctor summoned. Others got off with bruises. That. so few- were hurt in such a stampede is wonder. The cause for the alarm was not imaginary. An employe went to the cage containing the lions with a piece of meat. Open ing the door to throw the meat into the cage, he fell, aid the bloody bonedropped to the ground One of the lions made a dive alter it and jumped out of the cage, but the beast was soon driven under tbe wagon, where it was I eld bv loose pieces of iion fence' until the crowd could depart, but it was some seconds before the people could be made to feel that the danger was over, and during this interval the wildest confusion ruled. Men, women and children rolled under the canvas, - while others climbed upon bandies, many of them ehntking. BCAMA MIL'S CANADA. 'ie New Government Itrooui Sweeps I'p Lots of Dirt. Ottawa, Ont., Julv 15. The lioast made when parliament met Chat the liberals would upset the conservative movement before the session was over, is liable to be re alized. Since the opening of the investigation, tiie disclosures in the inquiry in the public works department have cropped up, and to-night twoorlicers of the govern ment are under clouds, which, when they break, w ill probably sweep the government left by Sir John Macdonald out of existence. John Ilaggait is postmaster gen eral of the Canadian cabinet and is credited with having a penchant for prettv faces. It is aliout to be disclosed" that for the past few vears Haggart has been providing lor Miss Craig, a young woman of Montreal, who was atone time his typewriter. The story goes that he misled the girl and sent her here, continuing her salary on the books of the department, for w bich she has not since given any ser vice, at least to the government. The whole storj will come out be fore the committee in a day or two. Another scandal, reahy of rr.uch more serioubness, is the dis appearance of the superintendent of the printing bureau. Senecal, who, though said to' be away sick, is probably an absconder, as it has been discovered that his accounts are all mixed up, and that there is a very large deficiency in them. The exact amount is not known. A clerk named McCabe was dis missed t3-day for illegally drawing money, and" there are "harges about to be made in connection with every department of the gov ernment, the derelict otticiais in each case are thorough conserva tives and hard party workers. Jailed for Profanity. The Dalles Chronicle: Two men named James McLean and Bert Rhoades, of Salem, was ar rested and fined the other day at Turner for profane swearing. If this kind of prosecution should increase to any considerable ex tent there would not be jails enousrh in the countryto hold the prison ers.

ROCHESTER SHAKEN IP. A Gasometer Explodes With Great Destruction. Rochester, N. Y., Ju'y 15. At exactly midnight last night a sharp concussion, resembling an earth quake, was felt all over the city. Later it was learned that thagas ometer of the Rochester Gaslight Company, situated on Litchfield street, had exploded. The gas- oroeter was 100 feet in diameter and fortv-five feet high, with a capacity of 300,000 cubic feet. Tbe tank was burled in fragments in several different directions. One piece struck a canal boat, injuring the captain, whose name is un known, s) bad'y that it is reported he will die. Toe watchman of the gas works is supposed to have been killed, as he has not been seen since the explosion. The company has been preparing to clear the tank, and to-day it lacked three inches of being full of water, with ail the vent boles in the top open, consequently there is a myt terv as to the cause of the explo- ifon. Jlawaa VrOkes an over the west tide of the city. Tbe tank was valued at $60,000. Crop la Canada. Toronto, July 15.

Much Palling and Hauling and Loud Talk, but He Gets Thar Just the Same, Cleveland, July 15. One of the largeet and at tbe same time most inharmonious conventions ever assembled in tbe history of the Ohio democracy met this morning in this city. Tbe renomination of Governor Campbell has been con ceded by his opponents since last evening, but the sturdy determin ation to reiuse, alter tue lormal result should be assured, the time-honored courtesy of a unani mous nomination, brought dismay in the hearts of all thoee who de clare that in a united and harmo nious democracy rests the only hope of victory in . the coming campaign. he vast music hall in which the convr ;tion was held was packed to its utmost capacity long before the hour of meeting arrived. The decorations, as usual, consisted largely of Ameri can colors. Suspended fcbove the stage was a vast floral creation bearing in letters the greeting: "Democrats of Ohio, welcome to Cleveland." Chairman Norton called to order at 10:30, and Rev. J. W. Campbell opened with prayer. Chairman Norton denounced republicans. He introduced Allan W. Thurman as temperary chairman. In taking the chair Mr. Thur man denounced the republican party and its methods and espec ially congress and McKinley, and said : 'The time has come when the people will express their belief in a complete and not, a restricted reciprocity: when they will no longer sustain any party which levies and collects one dollar of taxes over and above that which is required to wisely and econom ically adminster the affairs of the government ; when they will give due notice that infant industries that have been nursed for a hun dred years have arrived at an age when tney must take care ef them. selves; when they will brand a protective tariff as stealing, its ad vocates as beggars, and demand that we must have a tariff for revenue only. I earnestly beseech the farmers, whose interests are identically the same as my own, to follow this course. Vi lid schemes of the government loaning money upoa warehouse certificates or on lands, taking possession of the railways and telegraphs by govern ment, internal improvements that are demanded, are minor issues that all lead, not only to greater taxation, but to the rankest kind of socialism. I say to put them to one side and stick to the tariff issue until you get what is due you," The committee on permanent organization reported that ex-Con-grestrman Leblond had been selec ted as permanent chairman of the convention. The committee es corted Leb?ond to the chair. Chairman Leblond'a speech was brief and to the point. He thanked tbe convention for the honor con ferred, and then denounced tbe republican congress for its bad legislation and its attempts to pass the force bill. General Armstrong, of Cleve land, moved the convention adopt the picture of a victorious rooster as a device to designate the demo cratic ticket, the recent ballot-reform law requiring some device. .
