I'H KNIX. Arizona, Feb. L 4. 1800.—
The on*-* hundred workmen who
were can oed about the dam of the
i
Wain 111 (iftw Storage Company
across the Hassajampa River. in
Northern Arizona, seventy nnie>
north of Piui'iiix. were aroused Sat
urday morning, at two o'clock, by a
i u-h of waters.
Realizing the impending danger i
the} ru hed to open tlie waste wire '
of the dam, but they were too ]at«•.
as the v.ater was then dashing
through a large break in the upper .
dam, and in less than live minutes ,
•he structure gave way and the
deluge swept on to the lower dam.
This strueture, which was built, •
it was supooled, to withstand anv
pressure that might be brought :
against it. wavered lor a moment as
the ilood came on, then melted away
like a bank of sand. Through the
breach the flood rolled, and sweeping
down the narrow defile the wall of
duty water fifty feet high carried
everything before it. The valley
below the lower dam is narrow and
the water had no opportunity to
spread out ovei a 11-it. The V p of
the watery wall was crested with a
curling crown, in which men, ani
mals and houses were tossed about
like corks.
It is known that at least thirty
three men and women were lost
from the little settlement that had
bet n built at the foot of the lower
dam. Thirty of the>e wre whi f e
and three were Chinese.

"W \SHINOTON, Feb. 'J-". 1800.—
Mr. Harrison ha«* a'lowed himself
to be beguiled by re soft-speaking
olfice-set kers int> believing that lie
might again be the candidate of his
party in 1802. This is daily be
coming more apparent and accounts
for many seemingly appointments.
His idea i l -' to appoint only Harrison
men, and to carry it out he has al
ready offended nearly eyery leading
man in his party. It is only a few
lays since he refused to appoint a
relative of Secretary Blaine post
master of a Pennsylvania town, not
withstanding the fact that Mr. Blaine
had personally a-ked that the ap
pointment la ma le. This bit of

It the Senate committee on Pnvi

day, on the law vnd evidence, the
Democrats will soon have two more
Senators. At any late it is hardly
possible, m view of the poor show
ing made by the Republican con
tenants, that the majority will h;ive
the effrontery to report in lavor of
seating them. The report will be
made this week.
The Blair educational bill is the
foot-ball of the Senate. It was
