The indications at midnight were that many other localities were to be made sufferers by the floods. Here in Terre Haute there was no occasion for alarm as to a loss of life but plenty of cause for the belief that much damage will be done by swamping the cellars ofLbusiness houses.

The

Wabash wa» rising rapidly

and the agricultural interests may suffer seriously by the unusually heavy precipitation of water, which, so near as can be learned, is very general.

The dam that broke and flooded Johnstown was a very dangerous contrivance at the best, but the investigation of its construction shows that it was far from being of the best Bort of a dam. The pity of it all is that nothing can be done now to restore to life the thousands who died because of its faulty construction, nothing that will assuage the grief of the mourners or prevent the ill effects certain yet to follow. The people of the country at large are ready in response to the call for aid they can also learn a lesson from the great calamity. Every precaution should be taken to obviate the repetition of^any like result.

The trotting association had every favorable prospect for an unprecedentedly successful race meeting this week. The fast horses were here and the people were ready to attend the events but the remarkably unseasonable weather cut the programme in two. Instead of four days of racing there were but two and the programme for one of the abandoned events was the best of the week, with all indications of the largest attendance of the week. It is a deplorable misfortune because the association has been enterprising and liberal in creating widespread interest in the sport at this point. With ordinarily good weather there was an assurance of enough receipts to pay the remainder of a debt incurred in prepaiing a track and otherwise placing Terre Haute in the front rank of racing centers. However, the gentlemen who compose the association are not to be prevented in carrying out their purpose and though the most auspicious event in their several years efforts is more or less disastrous they are of the calibre and spirit which give promise of pushing Terre Haute far along in all that is prosperous and successful. v'

•THE NEW PENSION BOARD.

Final instructions Received—The Formal Organization To-Day.

The newly appointed members of the board of pension examiners received their final instructions, Thursday evening, from the department at Washington. The board consists of Dre. W. W. Haworth, Stephen J. Young, and Thomas H. McCorkle, the latter of Edwards. Dr. McCorkle was absent yesterday, but Drs. Young-and Haworth met and deoidtd on the following officers of the board: President, Dr. Young secretary. Dr. McCorkle treasurer, Dr. Haworth. The board will meet and formally organize to-day, meet for regular work as an organized body, next Wednesday, in room 7, iu the court house. The room is in the northwest corner of the basement floor, is well lighted and ventilated and pleasant in every particular. The proper plaoe for the board is in the new government building but the latter building is not completed and the board will remain in the oourt house until provision can be made.

The Secret Ballot Bill Vetoed. HARTFORD, Conn., June 7.—Governor

Bulkley to-day vetoed the bill providing for a secret ballot. He holds that the bill is too radical, too cumbersome in its details, too expensive, opens the door to fraud and will result in disfranchising voters. The house passed the bill over the governor's veto, by a vote of 121 to 38. This was done under the previous question, with no opportunity for disoussion. After the vote was declared, Mr. Brandegee protested against the discourtesy to the governor, and moved to reconsider. The bill was reconsidered and tabled, and the house adjourned until Tuesday.

CHINESE PENAL CODE.

An eminent Chinese jurist has just arrived from the East, and has been •pending a few days in Sail Francisco preparatory to starting for China, which country he left over a year ago. He travels under the unpretentious name of Ah Yek Wan.

This distinguished functionary of the Chinese government came to this country in March, 1888, for (he purpose of examining into American methods of dealing with crime and criminals and the penalties to which the violators of the law are subject!

The fact that the Chinese government has found it necessary to send Such a man to this country to examine the queetioi of the administration of justice shows an awakened interest on its part to put itself more in line with the western nations, and that the heathens have at last realized that their mode of punishment is cruel and crude.

Ah Yek Wan looked as serene as a basket of chips when a New York Telegram correspondent saw him and grasped his hand at the Chinese consul's office. He was every inch a Celestial, from his felt-soled shoes to his long braided queue. He Bpoke the Eoglish language brokenly, but sufficiently well to be thoroughly understood. He said: "There are practically no prisons in fihina.

Prisoners are made public ex

amples of by being exposed in the most public places. When it is found necessary to confine them they are placed in a wooden structure, like a stable. These structures have wide court-yards in the center surrounded by stall-like cells. "The convicts in China must all work. They are put to building roads and making other publio improvements, when nothing else can be found for them to do." "How are those delinquents who are put in prison treated?" was asked.

The Chinaman gazed through the lace curtains out to the cobble stones in the street for a moment and said: "We have no such prisons ad you have described, and which I have thoroughly inveetigated. Only a comparatively few people are placed in prison. When a person is arrested the officials prevent him from escaping by placing a chain around his neck and tying his hande behind his back with the same chain. This mode of securing a prisoner does away with the cost of maintaining great prisons. It is only in exceptional cases when it is found necessary to confine a prisoner. In Buch instances the prisoner is placed in a cell in a wooden building. He is both manacled and gyved, but at different periods during the day one hand is .released by the janitor for the purpose of allowing him to cook and eat his rice. He is allowed two pounds of rice per day and about ten cash or two cents for fuel. Each prisoner is required to do his own cooking."

The Chinese gentleman seemed disinclined to talk much about the manner in which criminals are executed in his country.

little persuasion, however, caused

him to relent. He said: "It is considered one of the gravest offenses known to Chinese law for a child to speak disrespectfully to his father, and if a wife even rails at her husband or her husband's parents the law says they 'must be put to death by strangulation. "If a policeman considers that a person is guilty of improper conduot he can arrest him and have him punished by not lees than forty blows with a bamboo. If it is of a Berious nature eighty blows is the minimum."

This inhuman treatment of prisoners, it was subsequently learned, is not an uncommon occurrence either, and often occurs from the caprice of some petty official who may be prompted by malice or spite. "There is no chance for an appeal, for the reason that punishment is administered at once. In some instances the prisoner may be innocent. .Lawyers are an unknown factor. "The offenses which meet with capital punishment in China are: Bobbery in the first degree, murder, arson, rape, breaking into fortifications, highway robbery, homicide and renunciation of allegiance. "When a man or woman is discovered in committing either of these crimes it is not necessary that they be taken before a high magistrate, but the captor can summon the ordinary magistrate and the death sentence may be imposed and carried out immediately."

Lue Gun Gong, a Chinaman who escaped from the empire after having been sentenced to death, said to the Telegram reporter that he had seen many poor fellowB with their lips stuck with bamboo sticks until they were nearly jellied. Policemen made the miserable victims kneel upon pounded glass, sand and salt mixed, until their knees became exooriated. Pulling and twisting the ears while the prisoner is made to kneel for hours on chains is another mode of Chineee punishment, while wrapping the fingers in rags saturated with oil to burn them is a way in which the Chinese have to extort confessions from prisoners who are contumacious.

Lue Gun Gong said that he knew of a case where a magistrate suspended two criminals to two boards by driving nails through the palms of their hands. The weight of one of the prisoner's body tore him loose, and he was nailed up again. After they were prodded with red-hot-iron and scalded with hot water both died. This punishment was inflicted for no worse crime than burglary.

Flogging, said the Telegram's informant, is one- of the principal modes of punishment for securing confessions, and in many instances so unmercifully doss the slim rattan out into the victim's flesh that he is actually murdered. In theee instances the magistrate reports to the governor that the prisoner died from Bickness.

Another instance which came under the notice of Ah Lue was that of a refractory culprit who was taken before the magistrate for stealing chickenB. The prisoner Btruck the judge in the face with liis open hand. A coffin was standing near to be used for a dead victim. The refractory Chinaman was placed in the ooffin and kept there until he was suffocated.

The leaat of all punishments, as considered by the Chineee, is to be placed in the kiB, a frame work which weighs from twenty to thirty pounds. It is like a stock, and is made to arrest on the shoulders without chafing the neck, but so broad as to prevent the wearer of the Little Lord Fauntleroy collar from feeding himself. The name, residence, and offense committed by the prisoner are printed on the frame as an example to others.

Whipping men through the street is a oommon occurrence for ordinary crimes as a publio example to others. The prisoner is manacled, and a policeman goes behind him carrying a big sign, on which is his name, crime and punishment. He is accompanied by another policeman as executioner and a gongbearer. Sometimes little sticks with flag* on them an stuck through thepria-

THE TERRE

oner's ears. The axaeatipaar whacks away at tilt bare back of the victim every time the gong-bearer bangs his beli, until the number of lashes has been given the prisoner. The latter is then released.

So corrupt is the Chinese government, and so easily can criminals be bought off from justice, that magistrates are perfectly willing to socept money to place other people in the plaoe 6f murderera.

MANY NATOOHS ON THS STAGE,

The Fairy Dameers aa They Will Appear at the Indianapolis Kirmese.

The first rehearsal of all the duces of the Kirmees was held in English's opera house last night with the music of the orchestra. It was pretty much of an ideality, says .the Indianapolis .Jfewe. The dancers made their entree from behind imaginary scenery -and appeared before a dark audience of empty seats. All the absolute essentials were there, however. The tall young ladies who appear in the dance of the Nile worshippers wore spring bonnets of a style by no maana 2,000 years old, but their movements were Egyptian. The performers are well disciplined, and their graceful motions scarcely need the accessories of scenery and costume to make them enchanting. Two hundred young people of the city take part.

The tambourine dance of pretty girls is full of pace, as are also the Spanish and cymbal dances. Perhaps the most beautiful of all, however, is the Swedish dance, in which a large number take part. All hold short staffs with bells at one end, whose sounds aooompany their motions. At the beginning the dancers advance from the wings in a column, with an intricate skipping, the Swedish lads with their arms gallantly about their maidens' waists. At one point the young men gather in a double line facing each other and striking the staffs overhead, while the girls trip in and out in a number of evolutions.

The Japanese dance has a touch of humor as well as grace. The coupleB, with their gay parasols overhead, gather in a column on each side of the stage. At the start, they bend their knees slightly and run toward each other with a wriggling movement, fanning themB6lv66 r&pidly>

The balloon pantaloons of the young men who took part in the North German dance, fitted clumsily and incongruously into their wooden shoes. A North German can scarcely be expected to dance gracefully, but he enjoys himself. Thefraus and herrs stand in line on each side of the stage and with, arms akimbo solemnly walk past each other. Among the figures is one in which the lads and lasses take hold of hands back to back, and glance at each other over their shoulders. In one part of the dance the young men gather to the front of the stage and whisper to each other, after which they point to the row of maidens at the rear of the stage, who wriggle modestly. This state of things is broken up by a trot, trot of the wooden shoes. The summit of. glory is reached when the two lines meet, jump afoot in the air and come down with simultaneous solidity in their clumsily encased feet.

The American dance is that of the Indians. Young men only take part in this. They run about the stage with hatchets over their shoulders in various wild circles, and wind up with a whoop.

The Kirmess, which will be given all next week at English's opera house, promises to be a success, and with its brilliant costumes will certainly be a beautiful affajr. It has met with success in other large cities

SCHWATKA, THE EXPLORES.

The Intrepid Traveler Returns From' a Profitable Expedition. DEMING, N. M., June 7.—Lieutenant

Schwatka has arrived here. His party ha9 been successful beyond all expectations in their explorations, and especially in southern Chihuahua. Here living cliff and cave dwellers are found in great abundance, as wild as any of the Mexican tribes found at Cortez's conquest. The abodes they live in are exactly similar to the old abandoned cliff-dwellings of Arizona and New Mexico, about which there has been so much speculation and so much money spent in investigation. It was almost impossible to get near them, so wild and timid are they. Upon the approach of white men they fly to their caves or cliffs, by notched sticks placed against the face of the cliffs if too steep, although they can ascend vertical stone facee if there are the elighteet crevices for their fingers and toes. These cliff dwellers are eun-worshipers, throwing their new-born children out in the full rays of the sun the first day of their lives, and showing many other forms of devotion to the great luminary. They are usually tall, lean and well-formed, their skin being blackish-red, much nearer the color of the negro than the copper-colored Indian of the United States.

Lieutenant Schwatka

sayB

that noth

ing has heretofore been known about these people, except by the half-Indian mountain Mexicans, and thinks his investigation will be of immense anthrophological and archrelogical value. He estimates the ctve and cliff dwellers to be from three to twelve thousand in number, armed only with bows, arrows, and stone hatchets, and they will furnish enough work for a year or two for a halfdozen expeditions. [Lieutenant Schwatka's expedition to eearoh for the cliff dwellers was made for the Indianapolis News and a few other newspapers. Letters have appeared in the News from time to time from the lieutenant and those yet to come will contain a full account of his discoveries in this little-known region

It is doubtful If there has ever been mora iniquitous legislation than waa passed by'the fiftf-aith general mhbbly, 'says the Indianapolis Journal. Instead of pasting Just measures for the benefit oethe peopta, the Democratic majority legislated solely for the Demo cratic party. In order to strengthen their party they violated the constitu^ tion by attempting to take to themaslrci the appointing power. In this way they control the benevolent and reformatory institutions, and the expenditure of the greater portion of the state's finances, amounting to $870,000. This means that these institutions ate to remain factors in politics, and that they are to be conducted in the interests of th«R Democratic party. The recent discloeures in the management of these institutions were so infamoua that every honeet citizen was led to hope, at least, that they would be taken out of politics and conducted in the interest of humanity, and not for any parly. "Notwithstanding the governors strong protest against this legislative usurpation of power," said a prominent Republicanyestehlay, "the Democratic majority passed laws to still Imp theee institutions in the mira where the Sullivtns, the Hsrrisons and the Gapena hadiput them. Not oontentwith this, thejj provide for a custodian of the state! house, who is empowered to appoint« horde of hungry Democrats to positions under him. A more daring raid upon the state treasury has not been seen before. The whole measure iB despicably partisan. It not only does not allow the governor to appoint the custodian, but it does not even allow him to fill any vacancy should (me occur. For such a contingency the power to appoint is conferred on the chief of the bureau of statistics, (Peele, Democrat), the director of the "department of geology, (Gorby, Democrat), and the auditor of state, (Carr, Republican), thereby insuring a Democrat for the succession. Just think of this legislature giving the appointing power to such officials as the etatiatican and,the geologist."

But besides, an engineer and six assistants are provided by his iniquitious measure, the whole list, with salaries, being as follows:

Parannum.

Custodian 11,600 00 Asslstant costodlan..... 900 00 Fifteen janitors. $50 per month 9,000 00 Two day watchmen, $S0 cer month 1,200 00 One night watchman, $55 per month 660 00 Engineer 1,600 OftSix assistant engineers, $75 per month.. 6,400 00 Elevator boy, $30 per month................... 480 00

Total *20,640 00

By comparison with the salaries of all the state officers, the size of the grab will be seen. S .. Per annnm. Salary of governor .' 6,000 00 2,000 00 1,600 00 3,000 00

Salary of secretary of state ...... Salary of auditor Salary of treasurer Salary of attorney general .......... Salary of superintendent of public Instruction

2,600 00

Total ..$16,600 00

Thus it costs $4,140 more each year for caring for the state capitol than it does to run the several departments of government. This illustrates the desperate purpose of the Democratic party. Thrown from power in federal offices, it rallies now upon the institution of the state, with a view of once more gaining control of the government. In every way it is determined to control the finances of the state, and the potency of this power no one knows better than Democracy.

A Gift to marietta.

Marietta college, O., is to profit through a gift from Mrs. G. A. Flanner, of this city, widow of Henry B. Flanner. She has donated to that institution a herbarium of 15,000 specimens. Her husband was a farmer with an inclinasion to botany. The collection has been made in the Ohio Valley, in Missouri, Georgia, Michigan, and the upper Mississippi region, and enlarged by exchanges with botanists in all lands. Mrs. Flanner has letters from all the great botanists of the day, and her collection is rated by them as one of the best owned by any private individual in the country. It has been a life work to collect and care for these plants. The Bole condition of the gift is that the college shall educate Mrs. Fianner's daughters without tuition.—[Indianapolis News.

TOLEDO »AS WAK.

Companies So* For Ii\]aaetion to Keep the City From Going Into the Business. Special to the Commercial Gazette.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., June6.—An injunction suit of importance and more than ordinary interest to a number of Ohioana waa argued before Judge Howell E. Jackson, in the United States oironit court-room, to-day. The case oomee from Toledo, the petitioners being the Toledo natural gaa company and the Northwestern gas company, and the defendant the city of Tolwlo.

The legislature of Ohio last year,' aa ahown by the records of the esae, passed a bill allowing Toledo to issue bonds for $150,000 to establish a plant for furnishing natural gas to the city for both private and public use. The act was to take effect upon condition that sixty per cent, of the people of Toledo approved its provisions. At a general ^municipal election in April last the bill waa approved by sixty-two and a half per cent, of the voters. Thereupon the vote waa certified to the governor by the mayor. The former, in compliance with the act, appointed a gas board of five trustees.

The board made the first issue of bonds, amounting to $75,000, of which $10,000 have been disposed of, and $55,000 are to be sold June 10.

The two companies mentioned, which have their pipes laid in Toledo and wnich have been supplying the city with natural gas, ask that the injuction lie against the Bale of the city's bonds, and that the city be enjoined from going into the gas business. They claim that under Toledo's city government the act of the legislature is unconstitutional, in that it confers upon the city rights which are alleged to properly belong to private individuals and corporations. These companies are controlled by the Standard oil company.

A "Christian Science" Divorce.

Two active leaden of the christian science sect in New York—Mr. and Mrs. Plunkett—have just obtained a divorce, by mutual consent, without an appeal to the courts, and the latter has taken a new husband without applying to either justice or clergyman. The christian scientist may with impunity, perhaps, bother the medical fraternity by curing diseases, it they can, without medicine or doctors, but it ia a. different matter when they undertake to trifle with the law.—[Chicago Herald.

More Counterfeit Tens.

Those counterfeit ten dollar treaaury notes with which the state has been deluged, continue to get people into trouble. Major Carter, of the Becret service, has arrested Wm.

Barrett passed through here this week and was shadowed by the government officers.—[Indianapolis News.
