Talks About "Negro Domina tion, to Excite the Fears of WIiiteMeh. v REPUBLICAN RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEMOCRATIC DISSENSIONS SAYS SENATOR PRITCHARD'S AN SWER TO HIS DECLARATION THAT HE HAS DISCOVERED A CONSPIRACY IS AN EVASION. Special to the Gazette. v Raleigh, N. C, July 10. Senator Simmons In- an interview (given out today declares that- in his statement Sena tor Pritchard purposely evades his for mer charge that the republicans intend to make an "insidious attack" aru the franchise amendment." He says ithe only logical inference is that the republican party does not accept the amendment and has not Changed its purpose, loudly proclaimed in 1900, to provoke the judgment of the courit upon its consti- itutionality. Simmons says the infor mation on which .his former charge was based w"as -obtained from "a law yer of the highest standing In the pro fession," but does act say whether he is a democrat or a) republican. He as serts that the ."pretended! denials" in Senator Pritchard'e letter respecting the alleered 'coinsfDiracy'' are "couched in generalities of the most conspicuous nature '."'' Simmons (then eniters upon a loiag dis cussidn of alleged republican efforts to create distention in the democratio par ty and appeals to the fears of white men that . "negro domination" will be forced on them again. Concluding, he says; ''Enough has been said, to show tiat Hl CPrltcharflis)v. answer i . shrewd dodge, that it In no way en lightens the people as to the attitude 01 his DartV on the suffrage question and that current - events are daily justifying my statements' as to the policy his party will pursue in the cam'paign.

Johnstown i has been visited toy the most appalling disaster since the flood. The scene of the disaster was the Cambria ' Steel company's rolling mill mine, where a terrible explosion occurred this after noon. How many are dead mav take several days definitely to determine. At hundreds of homes, when the news Jbeeame known, there were the most pathetic scenes. Mothers, wives daughters, sons and relatives became frantic - with grief. Hundreds rushed to the entrances of the mines with sob bing hearts, awaiting news of loved ones. . All hope of sending a rescuing party into the mine from the Westmont en trance has been abandoned. Two men who escaied from, the mine retraced their stens two miles to see what as sistance could ibe rendered, but the frightful damp drove them back. By desperate efforts they regained the ouside of the mine, utterly prostrate. DETRQI T'S FLOOD SITUATION HAS BECOME Des Moines, la situation reached stage early this July 10. The flood making satisfactory time on fits main its most alarming lines. The Milwaukee and Great Wes-rnrv-n- The 8 continues to suffer most. Another Moines river was 21 feet above the Jow , x water mark at 7 o'clock, having risen , , . Jn . ' . three feet in less than 10 hours. It is i , , . still riant at a rapid rate. The Bac- con riverfc which empties into the Des Moines at this place, advanced four feet between S and 7:30 o'clock this morning, and is still going up. t 0??e at the hishet point sinoe 1851 when the river, was sts feet .deep we 3natJs occupied by thous- l-T1 factories. At Oiat Ume the river was ,on f4tr;n a will soon be broken.-. Nothing but levees protect all this have been broken'. Hundreds of men' are working desperately along the le- , vees to save' the homes and property, but the water is slowly driving them ; rrom tneir positions. i The residents of South Des Moines kept an anxious vigil all night long and at 4 o'clock, owing to the breaking of a. large section of ' the levee , were forced to flee. Many thrilling rescues by boats are reported. Thousands of dollars' worth of property was- destroyed in 30 min utes in South Desmoines, and it is now practically cut off from the rest of the city. Four feet of -water are rushing through the district of 20 blocks occu- pied by residences. In North Des Moines a wide breach of the levee occurred at 8 o'clock and 400 residents were forced to abandon their homes and much of their proper ty. The situation is intensified by the necessity of closing down the water works, if the river advances another foot, and the city will be absolutely without water for domestic consump tion, factory use or fire protection. Hundreds of men are constructing a temporary levee about the water works but the water rises amost as fast as they work. Street car traffic has been abandon ed on a nuimtoerof lines and will have to be abandoned all over the city in a short time, owing to the water putting out the fires under the boilers of tne nower houses. , Tt is reoorted from Aaei.. uon fwe and other Dlaces aoove Des Momes, vo tvis nivPT are till rising, which is a ereater jmenace to the city.

Before these men" returned, a number of the Cambria company's offi cials entered the mine by the Westmont entrance but the deadly gasses drove them out. . Another ibatch of .would -ibe rescuers.. composed of Mine Foreman Rodgers, his assistant and three fire -bosses entered the mine. They were overcome with gas and it is feared they perished 7 The fifteen years, old son of Rogers entered the mine to rescue his father. He also was overcome, Jbut was-carried out. Preparations are being made to send rescukng parties into the mine by the Mill Creek entrance. General Manager Pierce said tonight: "There were about six hundred in the mine when the explosion. occurred, but only about a hundred of these were in the main south heading, where the ex- Piosion occurred."

Many trains were again late today. New Orleans, July 10. Heavy rains fell last evening at Natchez and Hat- tiesburg, but too late to be of much service to the corn crop. Topeka, Kan., July 10. The flood situ ation in Topeka is more serious than at any time since 1892, the Kansas river today being 14 feet and 6 inches above the low water mark and still rising. In habitants of "Little Russia" in the northeastern part of Ithe city have abandoned their homes or moved to the upper stories. The west end of the city park is under water. Various mills and store houses along the river are in dan ger and some millers are removing their stocks of grain. Street car and railway tracks in the outskirts are under water and the strong current has driven driftwood against the street railway bridge, twisting it badly. THE SUNDAY GAZETTE.
