Dallas, Texas, July 30. At noon to
day the flood situation continues seri
ous. The Texas & Pacific is running
local trains as far west as Big Springs
and as far east as Stanton. The water
is receding very slowly. The company
hopes to build around the break in the
track today or tomorrow. Tracks of
the same road are under water east of
Dallas, at Elmo, and trains are delayed.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas service
is discontinued to San Antonio and the
"Katy flyer" is toeing handled over the
Santa Fe tracks. The Texas Central is
washed out east of Whitney. Rain has
ceased to fall in the greater portion ob
the state, but streams are still 'boom
ing. Galveston, Tex., July 30. The weath
er 'bureau has announced that the
worst will not be over in the lower
country drained toy the Brazos river
until some time Friday. The river at
Duke is now less than ten feet from the
Santa Fe bridge and rising all the.
way south of Waco. The heavy rains j
in nearly all of -the territory traversed
by the Brazos river make an overflow
almost a certainty. Warnings hafve
been sent to all points in 'the territory
which will be probably affected and
there should be no loss of life. '
Houston, Texas, JurBO.Flod'conr
ditions In the Brazos Valley continue
to groW steadily worse. The river is
again rising about Waco and the crest
of the flood is only a short distance be
low that point this morning. The first
water is now a hundred miles from the
Gulf and the whole of the lowlands is
inundated with wa.ter of yesterday t6

tver record mark.
Railroad and wagon bridges are
washed out and railroads are again in
very toad f shape. All trains on the
Mineola-Troupe branch of the Interna
tional & Great Northern have ibeen
abandoned and no trains are coming
into Austin from the south. The San
Marcos river is higher than ever before
as a result of the excessive rains along
the headwaters. The whole country

$35,000,000 LOST
TO l!AT0!!AL TREASURY
BY REDUCTION OF WAR REVE
NUE TAX, FOR YEAR END
ING JUNE 30.
Washington, July 30. The commis
sioner of internal revenue has prepared
the annual preliminary report of the
operations of his bureau for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1902. The report
shows that the receipts from all sources
of internal revenue for the year aggre
gated $271,867,990, decrease of $35,003,679
from the receipts for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1901, resulting from the
rescinding in part and repealing in part
of the war revenue taxes.
The expenses of the bureau for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1902, will ap
proximate $4,712,894, and the 'percentage
of cost of collection will be $1.74 on
each 100, an increase of 19 cents on
each $100 in the percentage of cost of
collection as compared with the pre
ceding fiscal year, when the percentage
of cost was $1.55 on each$100. The in
creased percentage of cost of conduct
ing the bureau is due largely to in
creased expenses attending changes in
the revenue laws and the cost of hand
ling rebate claims of tobacco, etc., and
redemption of stumps provided for by
the ajct of March 2, 1902.

whainht.have .been expected of him
in the performance of his official duties,
and that vso far .'as the books showed

tered in the usual way4 Mr. Waddell
aQs testified as to correct entries Of
omer iunas paia over to mm. Anoiner
.question, which counsel for the defense
'considered important, was asked of Mr.
i Waddell. It was asked if he remem
bered that Mr. Pulliam made a trip to
Washington to see the secretary of the
treasury December 18, i893. Mr. Wad-:
dell did not recall the trip, tout said the j
banks records seemed to indicate that
such a trip was made. Judge Moore j
asked a second question which he
stated in open court was deemed im-
Iportant. The testimony was elicited .'
that there were two days in December ,
when, the records indicated, Mr. Pul- j
liam was not in the bank at all and '
that most of the entries during that j
month were in the handwriting of em-
i ployes of the , bank other than Mr.
Pulliam, also that the books were one
day $1000 out of balance. On re-direct
examination the fact was deduced that j
the column in which this discrepancy !
was found, was in the hand-writing of j
Mr. Pulliam.
"It was a false addition," commented
the District Attorney, which brought
Judge Moore to his feet with an objec
tion to the language used. The court
could see little' difference, but the at
torneys urged their objection with a
show of feeling, whereupon Mr. Holton
substituted "incorrect addition." There
was also some hair splitting over words
when Mr. Waddell was asked whether
$5000 which Mr. Pulliam is said to have
taken, was ever secured by the stock
holders to which he replied, "Not that
I know of."
1 Judge Moore did not take favorably
to this kind of negative testimony, say-
mg the witness should say, "I do not
j know."
