San Francisco, April 22. — The Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth volun teer regiment», recently returned from Manila, have been mustered out. The Twenty-eighth and Thirty-fifth itr- f mtry, now in camp at the Presidio, expect to l>e mustered out of the ser vice April 30. Although there an very few troops here now under orders for the Philippines, transports will be rushed there as fast as possible, to be i 1 Manila in time to bring home all the volunteers to be mustered out by July 1. In accordance with this programme, the Thomas sailed from here Saturday and the Warren will sail on the 25th. The assignments to the Thomas consisted of 127 ra- cruits and 20 casuals under the com mand of Lieutenant W. A. Liebier. I The Twenty-fourth infantry and 150 marines have been assigned to the Warren. The transport Rosecrans, which has just arrived from Manila, has been released from quarantine. The Rose crans brought 218 men of the Thirty seventh infantry and 260 casuals. The transport Lawton on which there were three cases of smallpox, has also been released from quarantine after having been thoroughly fumigated. | Seventeen days had elapsed since the : last case appeared and it was perfectly safe to land the passengers. Commercial and Financial Hap- penings of the Week. ITEMS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE A Brief Review of the Growth aud Improve Town* Are Slowly Emerging From the Flood. (Washington Letter.) Pittsburg, Pa., April 24.—The most widespread and destructive stolM, from a material point of view, has passed. It has left a zone of ruin 200 miles in diameter. It was unusual in that it possessed so many different features. Cities 70 miles from Pitts burg were tied up by one of the worst snow storms ever known. While the snow fall was from 18 inches to three feet deep, which is not extraordinary, the snow was so wet that it clung in weighty masses to shade and fruit trees and electric wires and poles, bearing them to the earth. It even settled on steam and street railways like wet sand, stopping all traffic and making pedestrian ism almost impos sible. The fall was so easy and spon taneous in some places that the resi dents declare it seemed like the burst ing of a snow cloud. A few miles from these unfortunate towns were municipalities in just as dire straits from rain, but speedier prospect for relief, as the rain will run oft’ faster than the snow Can melt. Still in these places traffic was practically suspended. Water over flowed and washed out railroad tracks and hillsides came down and buried the rails. In addition nearly every town on the Ohio river between Pitts burg and Wheeling is in darkness. Electric light plants, or their wires, are damaged and the gas in the mains is generally turned off to prevent ex plosions. So half a million or more people are groping about in the dark. A remarkable feature of the storm is that but few fatalities directly attrib utable to this cause have been re ported. A railroader, caught in a wreck causedby a landslide, and the death of an old woman from shock, are the only ones known so far. There may be others, but as commu nication is cut off from many populous places it will be the end of the week before the total can be given out. Army officers are criticising the Express Messenger and a Porter Logan statue quite severely.

There Wu Much Valuable Expre** Matter On ments of the Many Industries Throughout Our Thriving Commonwealth. Ohi* Valley Against Lind Agent*—Other Topic*. Old soldiers who wish to take up homesteads upon the opening of the Indi in reservation in Oklahoma will do well, in the opinion of the land office officials, to file their own claims and attend to all the business them- selves rather than trust their interests to agents. It is reported in Wash ington that agents are going about making contracts with veterans to represent them and file their claims, and are charging a fee in advance and a second to be paid after filing the claim; but an agent can serve only one client properly, unless he calls into service a large force of assistants, which they cannot afford to do for the small fees charged. It will be seen, therefore, that it will be much lietter for everybody to look out for himself. the Train, and the Bandits Blew the Car Open and Helped Themselves.
