KANSAS CITY, Mo., .Tune 2.-B!ue
sky was visible above Kansas City this
afternoon. The rains have disappeared
and the sun was visible for the first
time this week.
The waters of the Kaw river have
fallen eight inches, und tonight are
steadily declining at the rate of about
one-half an inch an hour. In the Mis
souri. the high stage of thirty-five fast
is stllTnnaintained, but this Is due to
the rke which has been coming down
the Missouri proper, and has been able
to offset the fall in the Kaw. It was
the water of the latter stream, however,
that has caused all the damage in this
city and in Kansas City. With a nor
mal stage, business In Kansas City soon
will be resumed under usual conditions.
This city, by a narrow margin, has
escaped a serious shortage (n food, has
faced the peril of fire utterly helpless
to avert the consequences, has suffered
millions of dollars of damage to prop
erty, and sustained a loss of life that in
all probability never will be accurately
measured, and now it Is .commencing
to believe promises.of better things.
The situation tonight shows improve
ment on almost every side; the waters
are falling, the waterworks will re
sume operations tomorrow; the gas has
been turned into the mains once more
and there Is no Immediate danger of a
serious shortage of food. The city has
cared for Its own and Is abundantly
able to do so still, but there Is not suf
ficient food on hand to permit the relief
committee on the municipal ofTioeip' to
feel easy over the outlook. The trans
portation ‘facilities at the present tlmo
are so limited that not much freight
can be brought in at a time and there
Is danger that the demand may out
run the supply. «
* Two men lost their lives todqy in the
attempt to aave others. James Keen
an was drowned while endeavoring to
rescue some people from the Adam
house In Union avenue, and Edward
Brooks lost his life in Liberty street,
where his skiff was orerturend by
eddy while he wss endeavoring to get
another man out of a building. A num
ber of bodleg were seen floating down
the stream, but are believed to be those
of people drowned further up the Kaw,
probably at North Topeka.
Fully fifty, people* were brought to
the Twelfth street viaduct during the
day by boatmen. None of them had
been In great danger. Many people are
still In the warehouse and office bulld-
the Hood. Since Sunday, fathers,
mothers, wives, husbands, brothers ana
sisters have visited every part of town,
particularly the places of refuge, look
ing for missing merpbers of their fami
lies.
Something like order was brought out
of the confusion today In the distribu
tion of such food as was at hand. With
the supply running short It became ap-
rent that the distribution must bo
de systematic and a central station
for^ that purpose was opened.
there the food Is sent In proper
proportions to the various school?,
: Lurches and other camps of refugees.
A temporary hospital with medical at
tendants has been established. Farm
ers sold garden truck in the streets dur
ing the day and WO sides of bevf were
jelved from Swift's packing house.
This is the entire number of beeves
ived at that plant.
Merchants of Kansas City, Mans.,
have bought up large quantities of
upplles which will be shipped into the
suburbs as fast as posslbl
nly line of road open—the
•or Leaven 1 worth. Knns. Street cars
In the suburbs began to run after a
fashion today with power furnished by
tho dynamos at Leavenworth. The
lack of gas is severely felt end oil Is
scarce.
Flags of distress from partly inundat
ed buildings in Armourdalc could be
seen from Kansas City during the day
and many rescues were effected. The
day brought to light ijo facts on which
to bas^ an estimate 0? the number of
deaths In the flood. Possibly ten bbdlei
have been seen floating since Sunday,
but estimates made from this Qt$
ble, ov
• electr
Soubtful as some of the bodies mny
have floated down the Kaw from To
peka. some bodies drifting In the
changing eddies of the flood may have
been counted several times.

The close of another day brnhght oniy
another night of wretchedness to the
thousands of refugees at.Kansas City.
Kans. Without water, aave for urgent
needs, without beds, the tipper part of
the town being unable to house (n any
comfort the horde of refugees tonight,
bids fair to be a repetition of others
sines ths coming of the flood.
The wretchedness, however. Is more
mental than physical, although the dia-
comforts due to herding large bodies of
people In buildings not built for the
purposs and trying to feed an army
without a commissary department.

way by which the suburb can be enter*

all turn with hope. Rations sufficient
to last several days. If carefully econo

and additional bedding, clothing, medi
cine and other supplies are expecrel
within ths.next twenty-four hours.
Much mental discomfort exists be
cause of the separation of members of
families who had little time to escape

GAINESVILLE, Oa.. June 2.-This
morning the people of Gainesville, those
who had closed their eyes for a
few moments during the early hours
after working throughout the forepart
of the night awoke to a full realisation
of the grent calamity that had so sud
denly fallen on ihem. The swfulnesa
of the situation seemed to bestir them
to greater efforts for soon they had got
gether In mass meeting and had re-
f committees soliciting subscrip
tions, getting food and clothing and
doing whatever else was before them.
At 10 o'clock Mayor Parker called
the meeting at the court house to or
der, stating briefly that systematic or
ganization was now necessary. Sub
scriptions were raised at the meeting.
Hall county heading the list with
12,000, 'the city of Gainesville with
$1,000, the First National bank with
$500, and various other subscriptions
running the list up to about $8,000, In
cluding contributions from neighbor
ing towns.
Miss Mattie McDonald was put In
charge of the woman's relief commit
tee. with Headquarters at Mundy’s va
cant store, where clothing .provisions,
etc., will be received snd from where*
they will be distributed.
H. N. Merck was named ns chat*min
of a committee to solicit further locnl
subscriptions and this committee hns
raised several hundred dollars more
this afternoon.
The ministers of the city were put
In charge of the burial of the dead,
and a number of the storm victims
were interred this afternoon.
The remains of Mrs.. Bryant and child
were carried a distance of twenty-flvo
miles to White county. Miss Maggie
Westmoreland was carried to Nacoo-
chee valley, a distance of foity miles,
and Mrs. T. A. Coker was carried
twelve miles east of Harmony Grove.
Mrs. J. M. Camp and baby were In
terred here this afternoon ot Alta Vis
ta. Tomorrow a majority of the Vic-
tlm. will b. Int-rr.d at Alta vl.ta. the

cemeteries.
When the burial committee went to
New Holland to send the bodies away
for interment. V. M. Montgomery, pres
ident of the two cotton mills, wrote the
committee & check for $500 to help de
fray the expenses. /
The undertakers from neighboring
towns promptly responded to calls for
help, coming here themselves and ship
ping many coffins, the local undertaker
not having itock sufficient to furnish
for all. Many physicians from neigh
boring towns, in addition to those that
came yesterday afternoon and last
night, reported for ddty this morning
and have been doing valiant work all
day.
The response to the rail for old hns
been generous, and a mass-meetlng this
morning adopted resolutions of thanks ^
for sympathy and help to newspapers
for furnishing to th» world the great
needs of the city by reason of the ca
lamity. to telegraph and telephone com* .
panics for courtesies, to physicians
and municipalities for assistance, etc. 1
Governor Terrell this afternoon sent 1
ISO tents to be used by sufferers and j
also sent a detachment of fifty men to
aid the Candler Horse Guards in
guarding property not destroyed. Much
of the debris was removed today by
people who came to the city to aid In
the work, and In a few days order will
be evolved out of the present chaos. * I
Thousands of visitors are In the city I
to view the wreck of the tornado.
The total death list-at New Holland 1
is tiDrty-three, and at the Gainesville

seers and curiosity onlookers, an op
portunity to either contribute to tho

GAINESVILLE. Ga Juno '.'.-The.
six thousand Inhabitants of this city
have tonight Just begun to realize the
extent of the appalling disaster of yes
terday. It now seems certain that the
death list will not be much short of one
hundred; perhaps somewhat aver a
hundred, considering the number of
dangerously wound*] whose chances for
recovery cannot now bo calculated.
But through all the gloom and desola
tion that surround the town like a pall
of dnrkne-s there rndlnt-s a beam ot
hope nnd encouragement— hope that the
death list may not be so numerous as
reported; and encouragement to thoso
who are so bravely and devotedly as
sisting In the work of relief.
The etory of the storm's work of dee.
olntlon has already been told. All that

rate list, of the dead nnd the chroni

At noon todny In response to a call
Issued by Mayor Howell nnd Pr«*sl lent
J. K. Orr of tho Chamber of Commerce
a public meeting wnn held In the coun
in
the
grand Jury should report nn Indictment
against him. The case will be present-
id to that body tomorrow, when n num-
•er of witnesses subpoenaed by tho
government will make their nppenrnnce.
An indictment will relieve the depart
ment from tho necessity of disclosing
Its evidence prior to tho trial of tho
court and will require the rearroit of
Mnchen on a bench warrant and tho
furnishing of freSli bonds.
Mr. Heath In hls letter says thnt if
Mrs. Wlnans, the Ohio woman who
reported as saying she was carried on
the rolls with tho understanding that
she wns to do no work, did not render
services equivalent to her compensation
her superior officers were deceived.
Mr. H*ath denies that he had any
personal Interest In her. Ho says:
“I never appointed any person to any
position or retained anyone in any po
sition, nt any time, with any sort of
notion or Idea thnt he or sho was not
to render full nnd honest service to tho
government for the pay received. The
intimation that there was an "honorary
roll” upon which her sons were placed
for political or personal or other pur-
oses than good service, Is a pure in-
ontlon. It Is a lie out of whole cloth,
s are most of the Imputations of Tul-
>ch. If any persons were so appointed
r retained It was through their own
dishonest designs.”
Mr. Heath says hh< visits to Porto
Rico and the Pacific slope were mado
in the government service and for every
dollar expended an accounting was
made. Mr. Heath refers to Gilmer's al
leged discourtesy to clerks In the post-
office department and says he asked
that Gilmer be Instructed to act Ilka
a gentleman.
Mr. Heath says Mr. Tulloch’s friends
asked him to Intercede for Tulloch’s re
instatement, advising Ileath thnt "Tul
loch had been collecting evidence of
laptop 1 ictles In the postofflc*»j arid that
if he were not reinstated he would ex
pose them: that I would be mado to
FtJfTer, nnd McKinley’s administration
would be scandalized." Mr. Heath says
thnt In nr. much ys Tulloch did not re
port any of the alleged Irregularities he
iuld not recommend him for nny posi
tion. Tulloch subsequently had these
matters, Heath says, published. Mr.
Hellth ndds: "The men against whom
allegations were directed hnd refused
to pay tho price of the proposed secrecy.

are needed In portions of the Central
Gulf states nnd hi southern Texas.
In the eastern portion of Kansas and
Nebraska und In Iowa corn fields have
been badly washed out. and much re
planting will be necessary. In Iowa
the acreage will be materially reduced.
In the Southern states corn haa ex
perienced u very favorable week and
largely laid by. Winter wheat />n low
lands In the eastern portions of Kan-
h.ih and Nebraska and northwestern
Missouri hns sustained injury from the
Moods, but on the whole the crop haa
made satisfactory advancement. Har
vesting is general In Texas and begun
In Arkansan and North Carolina.
Further Improvement In the condition
of cotton Is generally Indicated, but
the crop as a rule Is from two to three
weeks late. Better stands are reported
from the Carollnas, Texas, Alabama,
nnd portions of Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texn*. In Arkansas. Oklahoma and
Missouri the crop Is grussy. Cut worms
