DEATH IN THE FLOODS. More Than Seven Hundred Per sons Perish in Mexico. Many Cities and Towns Inundated, and 2000 Houses Swept Away. A. special despatch from the City of Mexico says: Telegraphic communication, which bas been interrupted for several days by the floods, La3 been restored and details of the terrible disaster on the line of the Mexican Central railway, particularly at Leon and fSilao, are obtained. Inuring the past ten days the table lands between here and Zaca tecas have been visited by unprecedented rains. Kvery mountain rivuiet along the Central rail way for more than two hundred miles has been converted into a destructive torrent and the valleys present the appear race of lakes. Many cities and towns have been inundated and Ieon and Silao have been partially destroyed. The first intimation received in this city of the disaster in the North was a telegram from Silao dated the lth instant. It said: "It commenced mining heavily here yesterday afternoon and continued all night. The Silao river overflowed its banks and rushed through the streets with irresistible force. Most houses here bein of adobe, as soon as they were saturated with water they began to tall. About t.IT houses have been destroyed. The station buildings are occupied by home less people, who are unable to obtain any thing to eat except watermelons and fruit found floating in the water. The rain has bten general, and the whole country round Silao is flooded. Several dykes have given away. Itstiil continues raining. On the 'JOth it was learned that the floods had been more destructive in Leon than in Silao. It seems that on Monday, the l!Sth, the river broke over its dykes, and, notwith standing all efforts to check its course, it ma le rapid headway and finally flooded the city. As the rain fell the river rose rapidly, its volume of water flowing into the town, gradually wearing away the fonndations of buildings, which commenced to fall as night came on. Monday night brought to that -city one of the most terrible scenes ever wit nessed in any country. People, believing themselves secure from the flood, went to bed in those parts of the town where the water had not found its way. "The steady downfall of rain in the extensive watershed of the outlayiug country increased the flow of the river, and rapi ily spread its channel until over half of Leon was under water. Houses tumbled in rapidly, having been worn away by the water, and the loss of life commenced. As the buildings fell the unfortunate sleepers were either crushed to death or drowned. One whole night of ter ror followed. Men, women and children fled to the streets in their night clothes, some to find shelter on higher ground and others to be swept away by the flood. On Tuesday morning rain was still fading, and there had leen no perceptible de crease in the stream of water. A mammoth lake extended its length and breadth to all points of the compass. Its monotonous appearance was occasionally broken by halt-submerged houses and high lands cropping above its surface. Where the houses, had stood the night previous water was surging in its course to lower ground. Groups of people, who had been forced by imptnding danger to seek flight without clothes, were standing about in the rain crying and deploring their losses. All houses which the flood left intact were opened to the unfortunates, who were pro vided with everything that was available at the time. All night the rain poured, until Wednes day morning saw the lake surrounding the city undiminished in size, with stead' rain disturbing its surface. In the afternoon, however, it ceased raining and the waters commenced to recede. The people recovered from their fright, though water was still covering a portion of the city. It is estimated that more than 70J persons perished. There is a strong stench from heaps of rubbish that once formed the houses, and it is believed that bodies are buried under them. There are also bodies still floating in the water. One hundred and eleven bodies have leen recovered without moving any ruins of houses, where hundreds of bodies are supposed to be buried. The houses destroved are estimated at 2000 and the loss at fr.M.KXym MUSICAL AND DEAMATI0. Saute, the musician, composed only in darkness. They are still giving "Pinafore" in San Francisco.

Last year a business of upward of $.0,000 was done at West Melville, one house doing a business of $16,000. EEPUBLIOAN PLATFOEM. Its Full Text as Adopted by the Chicago Xational Convention. The Republicans of the L'nited States as sembled by their delegates in National Con vention pause on the threshold of their pro ceeding? to honor the memory of their first great leader, the immortal champion of lib. erty and the rights of the people Abraham Lincoln and to cover also with wreaths of imperishable remembrance and gratitude the heroic nam s of our later leaders who have more recently been called away from our councils Grant, Garfield, Arthur, Logan, Conklingr. May their memories be faithfully cherished! We elso recall, with our greet ings and with prayer for his safe recovery, the name of one of our living heroes whose memory will be treasured in the history both 'of Republicans and of the Republic the name of that noble soldier and favorite chad of victory, Philip H. Sheridan. In the spirit of those great leaders, and of our own devotion to human liberty, and with that hostility to all forms of depotism and oppression which is the fundamental idea of the Republican party, we send fraternal con gratulation to our fellow-Americans of Bra zil linon their creat act of emancipation. J which completed the abolition of slavery I throughout the two American continents. We earnestly hope that we may soon con gratulate our fellow-citizens of Irish birth upon the peaceful recovery of home rule for Ireland. We reaffirm our unswerving devotion to the national Constitution and to the indisso luble union of the States; to the autonomy reserved to the States under the Constitution, to the personal rights and liberties of citizens in all the States and Territories in the Union, and especially to the supreme and sovereign riht of every lawful citizen, rich or poor, native or foreign born, white or black, to cast one free ballot in public elections, and to have that ballot duly counted. We hold the free and honest popular ballot, and the just and equal representation of all the peo ple to be the foundation of our Republican Government, and demand effective legisla tion to secure the integrity and purity of elections which are the fountains of all public authority. We charge that the present Ad ministration and the Democratic majority in Congress, owe their existence to the sup pression of the ballot by a criminal nullifica tion qf the Constitution and laws of the United States. We are uncompromisingly in favor of the American system of protection; we protest against its destruction a3 proposed by the President and his party. They serve the interests of Europe; we will support the in terests of America. We accept the issue, and confidently appeal to the people for their judgment. The protective system must be maintained. Its abandonment has always been followed by general disaster to all in terests except those of the Treasurer and the Sheriff. We denounce the Mills bi 1 as de structive to the general business, the labor and the farming interests of the country, and we heartily endorse the consistent and patriotic action of the Republican repre sentatives in Congress in opposing its pass age. We condemn the proposition of the Demo cratic party to place wool on the free list, and we insist that the duties thereon shall be adjusted and maintained so as to furnish full and adequate protection to that industry. The Republican party would effect all needed reduction of the national revenue, by repealing the taxes upon tobacco, which are an annoyance and burden to agriculture, and the tax upon spirits used in the arts and for mechanical purposes, and by such revision of the tariff laws as will tend to check imports of such articles as are produced by our peo ple, the production of which gives employ ment to our labor, and release from import duties those articles of foreign production (except luxuries) the like of which cannot be produced at home. If there shall still remain a larger revenue than is requisite for the wants of the Government, we favor the en tire repeal of internal taxes, rather than the surrender of any part of our protective sys tem at the joint behest of the whisky trusts and the agents of f oreizn manufacturers. We declare our hostility to the introduc tion into this country of foreign contract labor, and of Chinese labor, alien to our civilization and our Constitution; and we demand the rigid enforcement of the existing laws against it, and favor such immediate legislation as will exclude such labor from our shores. We declare our opposition to all "combina tions of capital, organized in trusts or other wise, to control arbitrarily the condition of trade among our citizens, and we recommend to Congress and the State Legislatures in their respective jurisdictions such legislation as will prevent the execution of all schemes to oppress the people by undue charges on their supplies, or by unjust rates for the trans portation of their products to market. We approve the legislation by Congress to pre vent alike unjust burdens and unfair dis crimination between the States. We reaffirm the policy of appropriating the public lands of the United States to be homesteads for American citizens and set tlers, not aliens, which the Republican party estab-ished in 18-Vj against the persistent op position of the Democrats in Congress, and which has brought our great Western do main into such magnificent development. The restoration of unearned railroad land grants to the public domain for the use of actual settlers, which was begun under the Administration of President Arthur should be continued. We deny that the Democratic party has ever restored one acre to the peo ple, but declare that by the joint action of Republicans and Democrats about 50,000,000 of acres of unearned lands originally granted for the construction of railroads have been restored to the public domain, in pursuance of the conditions inserted by the Republican girty in the original grants. We charge the emocratic Administration with failure to execute the laws securing to settlers titles to their homesteads, and with using appropria tions made for that purpose to harrass in nocent settlers with spies anl prosecutions under the false pretence of exposing frauds and vindicating the law. The government by Congress of the Terri tories is based upon necessity only, to the end that they become States in the Union; there fore, whenever the conditions of population, material resources, public intelligence and morality are such as to insure a stable local government therein, the people of such Ter ritories should be permitted, as a right in herent in them, the right to form for them selves constitutions and State Governments and be admitted into the Union. Pending the preparation for Statehood, all officers thereof should be selected from the bona fide residents and citizens of the Terri tory wherein they are to serve. South Da kota should of right be immediately ad mitted as a State in the Union, under the Constitution framed and adopted by herpeo- le. and we heartily endorse the action ot tne Republican Senate m twi.-e passing bills for her admission, i he refusal or the Democratic? House of Representatives, for K artisan purposes, to favorably consider these ills, is a wilful violation of the sacred Amer ican' principle of local self-government and merits the condemnation of all just men .The pending bills in the Senate for acts to enable the people of Washington, North Dakota, and Montana Territories to form constitu tions and establish State Governments. should be passed without unnecessary delay. The Re publican party pledges itself to do all in its power to facilitate the admission of the Ter ritories of New Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho. j and Arizona to the enjoyment of self-govern-j ment as States.such of them as are now oual- ified, as soon as possible. and the others as ' soon as they may become so. 1 The political power of the Mormon Church i in the Territories, as exercised in the past, is ' a menace to free institutions, a dinger no ! longer to be suffered. Therefore we pie Ige ! the Republican party to appropriate legisla- tion asserting the sovereignty of the nation ' in all Territories where the same is oues . tioned, and in furtherance of that end to ', place upon the statute books legislation ! stringent enough to divorce the political from : the ecclesiastical power, and thus stamp out the attendant wickedness of polygamy. The Republican party is in favor of the i use of both gold and silver as money, and j condemns the policy of the Democratic Ad- ministration in its efforts to demonetize i silver. j We demand the reduction of letter postage to one cent per ounce. In a republic like ours, where the citizen is the sovereign and the official the servant, where no power is exercised except by the will of the people, it is important that the sovereign the people should possess intel- ligence. The free school is the promoter of j that intelligence which is to preserve us a 1 free nation; therefore the State or nation, or both combined, should support free institu tions of learning sufficient to afford to every child growing up in tne land the opport unity of a good common-school education. We earnestly recommend that prompt ac tion betaken by Congress in the enactment of such legislation as will b.st secure the re habilitation of our American merchant marine, and we protest against ths passaga by Congress of a Free-ship bill, as calculated to work injustice to labor by lessening the wages of those engaged in preparing ma terials as well as those directby employed in our ship-yards. We demand appropriations for the early rebuilding of our navy; for the construction of coast fortifications and modern ordnance and other approved modern means of defence for the protection of our defenceless harbors and cities; for the payment of just pensions to our soldiers; for necessary works of national importance in the improvement of harbors and the chan nels of internal, coastwise and foreign com merce: the encouragement of the shipping interests of the Atlantic Gulf, and Pacific States, as well as for the payment of the maturing public debt. This policy will give employment to our labor, activity to our va rious industries, increase the security of our country, promote trade, open new and direct .markets for our produce, and cheapen the o;ost of transportat.on. We affirm this to be far better for our country than the Demo cratic policy of loaning the Government's money without interest to "pet banks." The conduct of foreign affairs by the pres ent Administration has been distinguished by its inefficiency and its cowardice. Having withdrawn from the Senate all pending treaties effected by Republican administra tion for the removal of foreign burdens and restrictions upon our commerce, and for its extension into better markets, it has neither effected nor proposed any others in their stead. Professing adherence to the Monroa doctrine, it has seen with idle complacency the extension of foreign influence in Central America and of for eign trade everywhere among our neigh bors. It has refused to charter, sanction, or .icouraze any American organization fcr constructing the Nicaragua Canal, a work of vital importance to the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine, and of our national influ ence in Central and South America, and necessary for the development of trade with our Pacific territory, with South America, and with the islands and further coasts of the Pacific Ocean. We arraign the present Democratic Ad ministration for its weak and unpatriotic treatment of the fisheries question, and its pusillanimous surrender of the essential priv ileges to which our fishing vessels are entitled in Canadian ports under the Treaty of ISIS, the reciprocal maritime legislation of 1S30, and the comity of nations, and which Cana dian fishing vessels receive in the ports of the United States. We condemn the policy of the present Administration and the Democratic majority in Congress toward our fisheries as unfriendly and conspicuously unpatriotic, and as tending to destroy a valuable national industry and an indispensable resource of de fence against a foreign enemy. The name of American applies alike to all citizens of the republic, and imposes upon all alike the same obligation of obedience to the laws. At the same time that citizenship is and must be the panoply and safeguard of him who wears it and protect him whether high or low, rich or poor, in all his civil rights, it should and must afford him pro tection at home and follow and protect him abroad in whatever land he miy be on a law ful errand. The men who abandoned th9 Republican party in 18S4 and continue to adhere to the Democratic party have deserted not only the causa of honest Government,of sound finance, of freedom or purity of the ballot, but espa cially have deserted the cause of reform in the civil service. We will not f.ail to keep our pledges because th?y have broken theirs or becausa their candidate has broken his. We therefore repeat our declaration of 1SS4, to wit: "The reform of the civil service auspiciously begun under the Republican Administration should be completed by the further extension of the reform system already established by law to all the grades of the service to which it is applicable. The spirit and purpose of the reform should be observed in all executive appointments, an 1 all laws at variance with the object of exist ing reform legislation should ba repealed, to the end that tne dangers to free institutions which lu.-k in the power of official patronage may be wisely and effectively avoided." The gratitude of the nation to the defenders of the Union cannot be measured by laws. The legislation of Congress should conform to the pledge made by a loyal people, and be so enlarged and extended as to provide against the possibility that any man who honorably wore the Federal uniform shall become an inmate of an almshouse or de pendent uon private charity. In the pres ence of an overflowing treasury it would be a public scandal to do less for those whose valorous service preserved the Gov ernment. We denounce the hostile spirit shown by President Cleveland in his numer ous vetoes of measures for pension relief, and the action of the Democratic Housa of Rep resentatives in refusing even a consideration of general pension legislation. In support of the principles herewith enun ciated, we invited the co-operation of patri otic men of all parties, anl especially of a'l workingmen, whose prosperity is seriously threatened by the free-trada po.icy o present Administration. OUR POWDER SUPPLY Thft First Appropriation Tor Salt petre 3Iade Since the War. T::o :").0 .) recently voted by th- House for firing morning an I evening salutes to the fl ag brought out a curious fact. The powder left over from the war lasted exactly twenty three years. The last barrel was used on April 1. Sinc-e then in salutes have been fired at any military posts except West Point, Fort Monroe, and Fort Kiley. No appropria tion had ever bern asked for the purpose be fore, and none of the Senators and members knew where the powder for these salutes atne from. However, when the matter was ?xplaind, the Housa very willingly agreed to give the $0,000. LATER NEWS. The cigar manufactory of Foster it Hilson, n New York, was destroyed by lire.

Ono Young Man and Five Yonnj La dies Lost by a Boat's Capsizinfr. Six persons, five of them young women, were drowned by the capsizing of a steam launch on the Passaic River at Newark, N. J . The party consisted of fourteen men and seven girls, all of Newark. The launch had passed the Central Railroad bridge, near the mouth of the I'assaic, when a tug and tow bore down upon it. The pilot of the tug sounded a whistle, and the engineer of the launch responded. The tug and tow passed to the rort side, and the launc h sped on, headed for a s-tone dike which was concealed leneath a foot of water. The next moment the keel of the launch grated on the dike, and the launch came to a standstill and lurched over a little, Engineer Rothe and Charles Somner got overboard to push the launch off. As the keel slid from the stone dyke it again tilted and the girls became panic-stricken. They sprang from the:r seats with screams and plunged to the upper side of the launch. I t an instant the boat was turned completely over and sank. All the party were thrown out. Several life preservers floated on the water, but they did no gooL The girls were thrown " in a heap and seized each other about the neck and sank. Engineer Rothe saved Juda Smith by getting her on the dike, and Mary Stecker was save 1 by Charles Sommer. All the o' her girls sank and were not seen again.

The hair is brushed up from the nape of the nock and massed on tho crown of the head. Bows of ribbons arc the usual adorn ment, instead of tho fanciful pins and combs formerly in use. Tho Psycho knot is an exaggeration that has already been dismissed from favor. It was af fected principally by actresses, who bo gin with the close imitation of tlio twist of hair seen on the classic statues of Venus, Minerva and other Grecian goddesses. Very soon they began to magnify and elongate this protuber ance, until it achieved a positively comical asj)ect. EpiiK.vni Blaine, the great-grandfather of James G.
