Rain Descended in Such Volume That Houses are Flooded. Topkea, Kan., Aug. 5. High water caused much work and excitement in North Topeka toiay. rain began fall ing here shortly after midnight, and by daylight the storm had reached the pro portions of a cloudburst. The North Topeka sewers have not been reopened since the June flood, and all of the water ran through the low streets to the river, covering the first floors in a number of houses along Gordon street, and in the street was three feet deep. Many of tho residents of North Topeka thought that another flood was upon them. In South Topeka the water waa near ly as high as it waa north of the river.

(lood Feeling Toward Foreigners Broken by Recent Execution. Pekin, Aug. 6. China is witnessing a return to the conditions which fol lowed the coup d'etat of 1898. Politi cal discussion among the Chinese which increased during the imperial court's -recent policy of friendliness to ward foreignera has euddonly stopped. The plan of the dowager empress to trerify the reformers by the execution of Shen Chien, which occurred last Fri day, has been unsuccessful. All tbe liberal Chinese, particularly thote who have been associated with the reform ers, are in the greatest fear of arrest and it is difficult to find a Chinaman who is willing to mention politics or Friday's tragedy, although the latter is about the only topic of conversation among the trusted friends. The offic ials are particularly dumb. Tbe affair is a disappointment to (he foreigners, who had hoped that the empress dowager's association with the ladiea of the legations would have a civilizing influence. Prince Su, the most liberal of the Mancha princes, is reported to have risked his office by opposing the execution of Shen Chien. HAWAII WANTS SETTLERS.

This action was taken in accordance with instructions received some time since, the war department being anxious to secure a vessel suit able for ita officers in Hswaii.

A desper ate fight between a band of five of the escaped Folsom convicts and a party of six militiamen, who were following a freah trail of the convicts, took place tbia evening just at dutk on a hillside near the Grand Victory mine, and, aa a result of tbe conflict, two ol (he mi litiamen, namej Rutherford and Jones, were killed and a third member of tbe posse, a man named Dill, will prob ably die of his wounds, aa he waa ahot through the lungs. The convicts were bidden in the thick brush which covers the hill, and tbe manhuntera happened upon them moBt nneipecttdly. The convicts, who were well armed with rifles, fired a vol ley into the posse, with the result above stated. The other member.) of the poste opened fire on the convicts, and the survivors ef tbe tittle band are firm in their belief that at least two members of the convict gang were wounded. The news of the conflict soon spread, and messengers were dispatched to this place for reinforcements. A post-e under the leadership of Sheriff Boequit is now on the aiene of the conflict, but, aa it ia dark, it is im possible to locate the convicts, who have the advantage of position, and could pick of tbe members of tne joa:e if a concentrated attack waa made upon them. Sheriff Boequit and his advis ers are considering tbe feasibility of setting the brush on fire and foicing tbe convicts to surrender or at least dis close their exact position. Sheriff Bosquit'a posse now numbers ISO men, but tbe situation is so criti cal that no one will approach cloce enough to the supposed hiding place of the convicts to ascertain the exact con. dition of affairs. So far the bodies of Rutherford and Jones, wbo are mem bers of Company II, Second infantry, N. G. C, have not been tecovered, though it is positive that the men are dead. COMPLAIN OF INDIGNITIES.
