Broadway, running east and west thru 'East St. Louis, divides that city in two. It is built up in places, standing 15 feet above the surrounding country. It was first thought this street would serve as a protection to the northeast half of the city but the flood that covers the south ern part has broken thru In a small -stream between Eighth and Ninth streets. Should the embankment formed by Broadway give way suddenly as threat ened it will send a wall of water 15 feet high over the remainder of the city. The flooded district in East St. Louis is one mile wide and four miles long from east to west. It comprises about one-fourth of the city. That part of East St. Louis known as the "island" was flooded several days ago. The district that is inundated includes ,the second and third wards which are . knows as Illinois town and Denverside. Alto Sita, the suburb east of Denverside, Was still above water at 9 o'clock this morning. The population of that distriot is about 8,500 all of whom have aban doned their homes and fled to higher ground.

By 9 o'clock the work of rescuing the people of East St. Louis was well under way with Broadway and Tenth streets as the points of embarkation for the res cuers. On all sides there were urgent calls for more skiffs. Hundreds of men 'at the plant of the Malleable Iron works hastily knocked to gether a number of rude flatboats, whtfch were put into service without delay. The rowboats from the Wiggins' ferry boats had not reached the scene at that time. An immense lake had formed south of Broadway for three or four blocks, reach ing from Fifth almost to Fifteenth street. This was constantly spreading. In the Washington school house 300 per sons were huddled together awaiting res cue. Some had to swim to get there. Shortly after daylight it became' impossi ble to reach the building except In boats.

ALL ENGLAND IS JABBED \ Continued from First Page. After the dinner recess, the excitement was heightened by the absence of both the colonial secretary and the premier. A bitter attack, on any tampering with free trade was made by Sir John Gorst (conservative), who declared that a great portion of the rising generation in the united kingdom was already so degener ate and poverty stricken that anything tending to Increase the price of food would threaten a national disaster. James Bryce (liberal) followed, declar ing' that the reference to the United States made by Mr. Chamberlain and other speakers in support of the pro tectionist argument was quite erroneous, for American prosperity was due greatly to the cheapness of food under.a system by .which free trade prevailed between all the great states composing the Amer ican nation. The colonial secretary's idea, said the speaker, would disintegrate the empire and produce a network of protective tariffs such,as that In which America was now enmeshed. Then came another sensation when the Hon. Arthur- Elliot^ the financial secre tary of the treasury, replying on behalf of the government, to Mr. Bryce's in quiry, made a bitter, attack on protec tionists and .preferential tariffs. He de clared that .the financial policy qf the government was clearly, exhibited by its decision to /revoke the corn tax whicih savored of protection.
