water Is slowly falling.. lf.s now rea
sonably certain that; the.' water here
will steadily recede.' ; At this time
fihere are thirty-four: known deaths.
One of the most dtsressins features
of the situation now la the possibility
that there will be a spread of contag
ious diseases. ' People of all classes
are huddled together In houses not
large enough for them, and on all sides
are surrounded by water. Doctors aad
medical relief cannot reach the suffer
ers to any great extent. 'This after
noon a case of diphtheria was report
ed from th woolen mill In Xorth To
peka. where there, are many children,
in addition to adults. There Is also a
case or two of scarlet fever among the
refugees on the rtjsrth side. Hundreds
of cases of measles are prevalent
among the children. -and, on account of
the exposed condition of the patients,
the disease will result fatally In many

PLEA FOR THE NEGRO
NEW YORK PASTOR BLAMES THE
WHITES FOR CONDITION OF 1
COLORED MAN. '
. NEW YORK, June L To the white
rac? belongs the responsibility for the
condition of the black man fa the South
and the people of that section of our
country have no right to nullify the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
by the suppression : of the nego vote,
said the Rev. David Gregg, who was
applauded several times during his es
mon on "Has the Civil War Settled
Anything?- in " the Lafayette Avenue
Presbyterian'thurch. Brooklyn.
Dr. Gregg elaborated on the cause of
the Civil Waf and Its horrors as an il
lustration of what should not again be
gone through with and said that unless
this Southern negro question were tak
en up Immediately by. wise heads on
both sides and. Quickly brought to an
amicable settlement, he1" felt morally
certain there would be an uprising the
result of which could not. be predicted.
There was every indication, he said,
that the Souht was gradually drifting
back to slavery, and "this has been
dounbly made certain In the act of two
or three states. The negro has been
disfranchised, and "the disfranchise
ment of a race can mean only one
thing, and that is the negro is forced
to do the white man's bidding and such
bidding; In this case Is nothing more
than pure slavery. It should not be
permitted! to extend further."

OLYMPIA, Wash, June 1. The At

ficial opinion to the Secretary of State,
who is also the Insurance Commission
er bf the state, in which heholda that
mutual insurance corporations organ
ized under the act of 1899 In this State
must cease to transact business or
comply with the law of 1903 by filing
with the Insurance Commissioner a
certificate iof their,. Intention ;j to t so
transact business. ,
The Insurance Commissioner has
had some trouble in construing; the law,
and went to the Attorney General tor
advice on a number of points. The
Attorney General says the above hold
ing will have to govern the-Commissioner
in general, as an attempt to go
into a detailed discussion- of the many
points involved would make it neces
sary to decide between the rights, of
the companies as against their policy
holders. . He advises the Commission
er to construe the law as liberally as
possible, so that the old companies do
ing business may have time to revise
their financial condition and member
ship to comply with the new law in
every respect. The chief change In the
law is from the assessment to the cash
