TO EXPERIMENT WITH
OIL FOR SPRINKLING.
Citizens in Orange will Test the
Value of that Material for Lay
ing the Dust.
Provided the necessary consents can
be obtained, the Givio Sanitation As
sociation will soon make an experi
ment in the nse of oil for sprinkling
the streets. At a meeting of the asso
ciation yesterday morning in the
Oharities building, 6 Essex avenne,
Orange, Mrs. Bertha Day was appoint
ed a committee to co-operate with
George J. Bayles and William D.
Crumble in this work. Messrs. Bayles
and Grumble have been interested in
the experiment which has been tried
at the Orang3 Memorial Hospital in
the use of oil for street sprinkling.
Ttie association wishes to select a
street in the oentre of the city where
the people will have more of an oppor
tunity to determine the value of the
experiment than is the case at the
hospital. For this reason a street on
whioh there is considerable travel
will be chosen provided the consent
of the municipal authorities and the
property owners can be obtained. The
oil that is used does not injure rubber
tires or varnish, because the elements
which affect these have been refined
out of it. A lighted match can ba
thrown into the oil without danger.

KANSAS CITY, June 9.? All the la

the region lately submerged. The rail

part of their yards. Water was shut
off from the city owing to accidents to
the pumps, but the aqueduct bridge
across the Kansas river will be com
pleted today, when there will be an
abundant supply of pure Water. The
Western Union has stretched a cable
across the Kansas river, thus closing
an important gap in telegraphic com
munication. The Missouri Pacific has
begun to repair the Kansas ri?er
bridge, and trains will cross late this
week.
Many factories have Mourned work,
and others will soon start. The Ar

THE 8T. LOUIS FLOOD.
Eaat St. Loot* la In Grcnt Peril? Pro
tected by Sand IIoicm.
ST. LOUIS, June !).? The flood has
claimed everything 011 the east side of
the Mississippi here except East St.
Louis. Only a few inches more of wa
ter and the flood would top the row of
sand bags, plastered with niud, that
now stand the sole bal'rier that pro
tects the city from ruin. The water
stands several feet higher than any of
the streets In the business part of the
town.
Several hundred refugees were
brought to St. Louis on flat cars across
the Merchants' bridge. Several hun
dred more were rescued from house
tops and carried to places of safety in
Granite City.
Opposite Carondelet and lower down
the river has spread many miles over
the lowlands. In the vicinity of Cape
Girardeau it is forty miles wide.
Late reports say that so great an ex
tent of territory is covered by the
flood, sok constantly changing are the
conditions as the water creeps higher
and renders the situation the more
chaotic and unreliable, that statistics
of the devastation and loss of life and
property cannot be obtained. It is
certain, however, that over '200,000
acres of rich farming lands are under
water.
All of Venice and the greater part
of Madison and Granite City are under
water.
Twent?^five thousand people are ren
dered homeless.
Freight traffic is completely para
lyzed and passenger traffic practically
so.
The shipping and manufacturing dis
trict of East St. Louis for throe miles
along the river front is under from
two to eight feet of water.
Hundreds and probably thousands of
head of stock have been drowned.
East St. Louis is threatened with
complete inundation. St. Louis is flood
ed only along the water front.
The entire property loss is estimated
at $3,000,000.

BENI-OUNIF, Algeria, June 9.? The
French artillery opened a preliminary
ftre at 5:30 o'clock in the morning on
Flguig, the stronghold of the rebellious
Zenaga tribesmen who recently at
tacked and tried to ambush Governor
General Jonnn? and his escort, of
whom thirteen were seriously injured.
The actual bombardment began at
7:80 o'clock and lasted until 11 a. m.,
when a great destruction of houses
had been wrought, the mosque de
stroyed and, it is believed, a great
number of nativesHtilled.
General O'Connor commands the
punitive expedition, constating of
4,000 men of the foreign legion and a
strong ferco of artillery armed with
guns firing melinite shells. General
O'Connor's plan was to advance on
Figulg in three columns and post his
artillery on commanding hills sur
rounding the rebels' stronghold.
The French troops occupied Julve
hill and another eminence, both strate
gic positions, by a surprise movement
The ramparts of the town were then
1,200 meters distant and, like the
houses which were half a mile behind
them, were built of compressed earth.
From thesfe hills the artillery made
excellent practice, the melinite shells
making a big breach in the ramparts
and destroying a multitude of houses
the inhabitants of which had fled at
the first shots. Finally the fire was
concentrated on the mosque, which
wan much venerated, and the edifice
was blown to pieces.
?The destruction of the mosque is ex
peeted to have a great moral effect. I
The Mqoi's concealed in the palm j
groves replied with artillery to the "
French bombardment, but without ef- i
feet. The French guns were then with
drawn to DJennanned-dar, where Gen
eral O'Connor is awaiting offers of
submission.
All the women and children left the
town before the action. The French
flred a few shells at distant parts of
the oasis In order to impress the Moors
with the power and range of the
French guns. Throughout the. engage
ment there was no loss on the French
side.
The French artillery flred 600 shells
at the town. The Spaliis (native caval
ry), the Chasseurs d'Afrlque and the
troops of the foreign legion were post
ed during the bombardment at points
surrounding the town, but the infantry
did not Are a single shot.
At half past 3 an envoy from the
ameer of Figuig arrived at this place.
General O'Connor has received con
gratulations from the commander of
the Nineteenth army corps on the skill
with which he conducted the opera
tions. The French troops have re
turned to their encampment. No deei- ,.<?
sion has been taken regarding future *
operations. It is possible if the Figuig
tribesmen do not eoine to terms other
villages in the oasis will be bombard
ed. General O'Connor has issued a
general order congratulating the troops
on the manner in which they acquitted
themselves.
