Washington. April 29. It Is not the scbNlmaSer. bu? "the" kklmlstress, that Is abroad m the land. The teachers come from the East and from the West a:id almost everywhere made possible by ciistance. to spend Easter holidays In Washington. Of course they 'Hake In" the White House, and, it may be added, the president, who receives them by del egations on off days and with other peo ple on the regular reception days. They are not always so certain of seeing the president's wife, and when this pleasure I given it completely rounds out their visit to the natonal capital. On Friday a large party of these clever young women came Just in the nick of time to met Mrs. McKlnley. The widow of President Garfield was one of the first visitors. Mrs. Garfield, who has spent a month in Washington with her daugh ter, Mrs. J. Stanley Brown, left the city yesterday. During her stay she has been delightfully entertained at the White House, and her coll was to say goodby to Mr. McKlnley. A number of the teachers were pres sented to Mrs. Garfield before going up to the library, where Mrs. McKlnley received, and where she likes to see her friends Informally. It h a b: Ijht. sun ny room, and it was made attraotive by President Arthur, who alsj transformed the broad corridor, into which it opens, from an ordinary hall to a oharm-Tift sitting room, with old furniture, much of It historic, that Mr. Arthur pickid up about the White House.

LIST OF DEAD NOT SO GREAT nescnisg Titties Doisg Good Work Los U Tom rrnperty aid to Ike rr VIM Be Very Great. Guthrie, O. T., April 29. In the flood- strteken valley of the Cottonwood river the day baa been one of heroic effort toward the rescue of those unfortu nate whose lives were still endanger ed and for the relief of the hundred of destitute and hungry. Tonight it seems a certainty that the loss of Ufa In the deluge will not exceed tweutr. All day miasms peope. supposed yester day to have been drowned, have been found clinging to the bushes of drift wood down the stream on the west bluffs, or scattered In farm bouse for mile. During the greater part of yesterday a roaring torrent of water cut off com munication with the submerged district. and in the general excitement the death list was swelled to hundreds. Daylight found dozens of people still clinging to tree, overturned houses, or timbers la perilous positions which they had main tained all during the weary night. For miles along the scene of devastation fifteen hundred people, homeless and half 111 from exposure and hunger. passed the miserable night There was a confused mass of debris and over turned houses scattered over the valley where last night was a cea of water. The banks were littered with the car casses of horses, cattle, hog and chick en. Whole blocks where yesterday stood a home on nearly every lot ara stripped bare; huge trees, torn up by their roots, were scattwred everywhere. Great gulches had been washed in tha streets, gardens were devastated, fruit trees leveled, lawn and flower bed cleared off level as a table, and reneei cumpletey gone. All day the rescuers worked Inces santly, and every house, drift pile and tree wa closely examined In search of the dead. Excited negrcs who had climbed to the roof of a house held an all-day prayer meeting, and their shout ing could be plainly heard in Guthrie. They were all finally rescued. It Is still impossible to accuratey es timate the loss to property and crops. The damage to property will be In the neighborhood of $100,000, -while that sus tained by the crops may be several times greater. WATERS RECEDING. El Reno, O. T.. April 29. The flood of the Canadian river is falling almo-rt as rapidly as It rose, and tonight the water has so far receded from the bot toms that the farmers are returning to their homes. All bridges have been swept away, however, and the highways are practically impassable. It will be some days before ordinary business can be resumed. There has been no railroad traffic since the flood. IN KANSAS. Independence, Kan., April 29. Tonight It Is reported that four feet of water surrounds the depot at Elk City and that the Verdigris river has risen there um:il the greater part of the town Is Inundated.
