OPEN DOOR A FARCE Trinity River Rises Again and Condi tions Are Serious. Fort Worth, Tex., May 2S. With the waters of the Trinity river still near the summit of the banks another great volume of water began pouring from the west fork of that stream toward this city late last night. Early today the riser is rising at a rate of six indies an hour, and with such conditions as already prevail, the outcome when the crest of this second rush of waters reaches this city cannot be foretold. That considerable additional property loss and suffering will result is consid ered certain. A serious situation has developed here in regard to the city water supply. The mains are filled with black, muddy water, unfit for drinking ccn after being boiled The city authorities de clare it may be a week before they can restore the normal water supply. Mean white, those who can afford it are buy ing water from private artesian wells, and those who cannot are drinking the water that comes out of the mains. Thirteen men. women and children were caught in the overflow in the Den ton river. Their condition became so precarious that they were forced to hold the children upon their shoulders to keep them from drowning. They Mood in water almost up to their necks for ten hours until rescued. .

Compared with similar distances in Missouri and Texas, the rates of the Pacific express company are extreme. For 410 miles in Missouri the general merchandise express rate is $3 10 and in Texas it is $9 30. In both these states the rates hase been fixed by railroad commissions and have been ac cepted by the express companies and being displeased with their dare-devil experience, ami gave no signal of distress After the main bombardment the Ar kansas' guns were directed acainst the big experimental mast which had been erected aft upon the Florida.
