Bpedal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 19. Tho President has everything packed and, accompanied by Mrs. Harrison, he will leave to-morrow morning, at 11 o'clock, for Deer Park. Tho impression has got abroad somehow that his stay is to be a long one, and that he will not be likely to come to Washington, unless called hero upon -very urgent business, before the middle of August. Owing to the fact that tho impression gained ground today that a Cabinet meeting was to be held, there were few official callers, and only one Congressman, so far as is known, put in his 'appearance in tho presidential sanctum. There was the usual publio reception this afternoon, and quite a number of visitors said good-bye to the President, and all wished him a pleasant and enjoyablo vacation. Creek Indians Seeking Money. Washington July 19. A delegation of Creek Indians, from tho Indian Territory, to-day called on Secretary Noble and officials of the Indian Bureau, and argued a per-capita payment among the Creeks of $400,000, from their fund of about $3,000,000, to meet tho present needs of their people, - who now number about 14.000. The Secretary expressed himself as favoring the payment, provided it could be done with executive authority, but said that it was doubtful whether any portion of the principal can be so paid without legislative action. The delegation, anticipating a decision that legislative action would be necessary, asked the Secretary for such indorsement as would enable them to borrow the money from capitalists, pending such action. This proposition, however, did not meet with the Secretary's approval. Indiana Pensions. Pensions have been granted to the following-named Indianians: Original Invalid-Francis W. Smltb, Noah C. nine.

Seldon, a member of a wellknown family in this city, and a brother of Mr. John Seldon, who was prominently connected with the Spanish claims commission, died at his residence in this city, where he lived with another brother and three maiden sisters. He was buried, and since then no one has been seen to either enter or come out of the house. The circumstances aroused considerable interest among the neighbors, who to-day had the police break open the house. They found the three sisters wandering about tne place in a wild and demented state. The police are investigating the case, which is very mysterious. l'ays Better than a Cabinet Position, Electa! to tho Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 19. Prof. Edw. M. Sheltoh, of Kansas, who has been named as the most proper man to b instructor of the new Department of Agriculture in Queensland, will enjoy a salary of $7,500 a year, with house rent, and in this respect it is better than a Cabiet ministers placo in this country. Tho Australians have a very exalted opinion of American methods of agriculture, and they have sent several requests for an instructor, through the British representative here, with the result that Mr. bheltou has at last been selected for the plice by Secretary Kusk. He is very highly recommended, and has had a great deal of practical experience, both in this country and in the Orient. Must Pay Duty Like Other People. Washington, July 19. The Secretary of the Treasury has informed William W.

Washington, July 19,-nJos. C. Squires, of Pennsylvania, a $1,800 clerk in the Pen sion Office, in charge of tho records for the the medical examining board, has boen dismissed. This action was based on the same causes that occasioned the other changes recently maae m the medical division. Commissioner Tanner considered that too much liberality had been shown in rerating pensions. All such cases aro now held un. and action upon them is suspended for the present, n is cxpeciea mat the secretary of the Interior will soon make a rulinir de fining the policy that is to be pursued in sucn cases.

DISASTER IN TIIE KAXAWIIA.

A Cloud-Burst in the Valley Causes Loss of Life and 3Iuch Damage to Property, Many Mills and Houses Swept Away Reported Sinking of Two Steamers Damage by Floods and Lightninjrin Other Sections. PARKi'.Rsnuna, W. Va., July 19 "he greatest disaster which ever befell th v tie Kanawha valley came last night i 3 ehapeof a terrible cloudburst, which kis completely lloodetl tho country, destroying many lives, carrying oil thousands of dollars in property and ruining the crops for many miles. The deluge fell here about dusk, and continued to fall in torrents, doing much damage in the city. The worst of the storm struck tho lower side of the Kanawha, filling small tribu taries from bank to bank, and ending in the worst Hood within the recollection of the oldest inhabitants. In three hours tho Kanawha raised six feet aud ran out with such velocity that it carried every thing before it. At this point thousands of logs and a nnmber of boats went out or were sunk. The Little Kanawha Lumber Company lost 2.000 logs; West's mill, ten rafts; Barringer, several fleets; W. P. Padden, live barges with ties, several of which wero caught below; Keever fc Co. lost four barges of coal; Miller, three rafts and 2,000 ties; Taylor, one fleet of timber; Charles Wells, four barges. In one hour 5,000 logs went out. Mrs. Isaac II, Tucker, Martin Lawless and an unknown man were drowned. Above the destruction was still gieater. Big Tygart valley is completely ruined. The big mill near its mouth went out and took the Tygart bridge with it. In tho valley all the fences, crops and much live stock was lost. At Chesterville, a small town about ten miles above, half the residences were carried oil bodily and left in com fields. In Clay district a tine church and threedwellings were wrecked. About noon information was received that the steamer Oneida was wrecked and sunk at Lnterpnse, above. Still later a report camo that the steamer C. C. Martin was sunk at Burning Springs. I he Little Tygart is also reported completely ruined. llcatlierton's store, Uaptam Spencers residence. C. P. Cooper's residence, and that of J. W. Smith aro completely demolished. dui no lives are reponea lost as yet. The worststory of all comes from Morristown, a small village near tho head of Tucker creek, where tho cloud-burst concentrated in all its fury, comine down in the village about midnight, and totally de stroying it, together with many of its people. The tirst report gave the loss at eleven, but later news seems to tix the loss at a greater number. I he houses of the citizens are said tn have been picked up and hurled against each other in such short space of time that no chance to escape was given the people. Among t nose lost at JUornstown are Jake Kieger, his brothers, Joseph and Thomas, a man named Bailev. Orville West, wife and child. The body of a man, believed to be another Morristown victim, was found on tho Kicharuson farm this morning. At Philbrush all bridges aud culverts were washed away, and it was impossible to reach or communicate with that point, or any other on upper waters. It is impossible now to enumerate tho loss even here, as the river is still rising ana tearing everything loose. A family boat containing three or four persons went out during the night, and it is believed all are lost, as tne last seen of them was when the woman held up a child in her arms and beckoned for assistance as the house disap peared in the Hood. Later. A freight train on the Ohio Hiver railroad broke through a trestle at Harris's Ferry; completely wrecking the train and fatally injuring William Neptune, an employe. The wreck was caused by a heavy washout. The Baltimore & Ohio trains are delayed by washouts at Kanawha Station. It is just reported that lock No. 1. abovo the city, on Little Kanawha, has given way before the Hood. Streets and Cellars Flooded at Chicago. Chicago, July 19. About 10 o'clock last inghtoneof the heaviest thunder-storms of recent years visited Chicago. Atl o'clock Thursday morning the thermometer registered 80 degrees. The weather did not grow any cooler during the night, and all day yesterday the heat was frightful. Moisture surcharged the atmosphere and made the sun's rays almost unbearable. Last night the rain poured down, tho streets were flooded, and the gutters wero runmug over, ine audiences at tho theaters were driven out of shelter just at tho time when the fall of rain was fiercest. In ten minutes after tho theaters closed not a carriage or cab of any description could be had. The street-cars were crowded to their full capacity. Tho town's transportation facilities were exhausted, and hundreds of people congre gated under awnings and doorways. The electric display that accompanied the rain was remarkable. Nothing like it is within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. A number of buildings and residences were struck by lightning, and the fare department was kept on the go for nearly an hour. The rains flooded all the cellars in the southwestern portion of the city and many basements of down-town business houses, doing great damage. Many cheap basement lodging-houses were llooued, and the lodgers driven out on the streets. As far as learned, the individual losses are small, but they will amount iu the aggregate to a large sum. The flooding was caused by the inability of tho sewers to carry on the water as fast as it fell, with the result that it ran over the sidewalks and into the cellars. The rapidity of tho ram-fall was unprecedented in thislocalitv. In a period of twenty minuses it aggre gated one men, ana aitogetner reached 1.04 inches. In many of the basement Chinese laundries. Chinamen were found perched on their tables this morning. In the town of Lake a residence was fired by a bolt of lightning, and it and two other nouses were consumed, entailing a loss of about $10,000. At the stockyards the packing-houses of Armour & Co. and of McNeill & Libby were damaged by lightning to the amount of 13,000. In the former case 850 men will bo thrown out of employment for a time. Many shade trees in the residence quarters of Hydo Park were broken by the wind or damaged by lightning. Damage at Cincinnati and In the Vicinity. Cincinnati, July 19. About 3 o'clock this morning a heavy rain-storm came upon the city from the north, accompanied by very severe thunder and lightning. Tho rain fell in such torents that all the hill side streets were flowing with angry streams. The bank of the Ohio canal at York street broke, and the water poured from the canal in a great flood. The cellars and first floors of several dwellings at that point were filled with water and a stream of several feet deep ran down York street aud Central avenue. The occupants of first floors in some of the houses were rescued with difficulty. It appears that the rain was in the nature of a cloud-burst along the canal, as it was overflowed in several places between Cincinnati and Lockland, and the surplus water iu several instances washed away railroad embankments, causing temporary obstruction to travel. A house on Walnut Hills was struck by lightning, the fluid passing down a chimney and consuming a trunk full of clothing packed for a summer journey by one of tho ladies of the household. Tho loss in tho city, caused by the canal overflow, is esti- . a. w-t Tii r ; M 1 1 u .v maieu. ub a,vw. iuoiaiuiaiiuviO nut) inches.

To the Editor of the IndianapoUs Journal: My attention was called to an editorial in your paper this morning, one seut;nce f which reads: "The free-trade bias of certain members of the faculty seems not to have influenced," etc Quite a large number of the peeplo over the State are laboring under the impression that the State University is a sort of free-trade school. This is a sad mistake, and I trust a few remarks on the subject may not bo amiss. The department of social science and economics at this institution is ono of only a very few such departments in American colleges. It was raised to its present high standard by Prof. A. B. Woodford, who has had charge of it for the past four years. True, Prof. Woodford is a free-trader, but ho did not try to lead his classes astray. Ilo gave his views on the tariff question occasionally, but only at the special request of his students. He secured for the university the Cobden medal, a pri ze given each year by the Cobden Club, of England, to the member of the senior class who present the best paper on certain topics in political economy. In each instance it has been awarded to a protectionist. The reat majority of the students aro Republicans and protectionists, and I venture to say not one has been changed by tho teachings of any of the professors. Homer B. Dobell. who won the 2.7) prize offered by the American Protective TariQ Association, was a specialist in Professor Woodford's department. His. reasoning powers were not interfered with by the free-trade bias. Tho State University is not a freetrade school. Jno. E. Metcai.f. Akuersox, Ind., July 19. Never Hud tho Opportunity.

MllwanV.ee SenUneL It is pretty rough on tho mugwump press, which nas made so much political capital at the Carnegie strike, to learn that it is to be arranged quietly and satisfactory.
