Water Mark.
Portions of St. .Joseph and Kansas City
Inundated and the Wntors Still losing.
Hundreds of Farms,Flooded and Crops
Heavily Damaged?Severe Wind and
Itaiustorm In Ohio.
St. Joseph, Mo., Juno 20.?[Special]?
Tho river has risen steadily since Sat?
urday and at noon to day is within six?
teen inohes-df the highest point reached
in ten years. Residents of the French
bottoms north of this city are in a state
of alarm and many are preparing to
move.
The water is still rising and reports
received from Sioux City and Omaha
show a gain of six inches since last even?
ing. If tho river should overflow tho
French bottoms it is expected that a
now channel will bo cut through, leav?
ing many farms on an island and diverg?
ing tho stream from the Kansas shoro
two miles.
If tho presont rato of riso continues
twenty-four hours tho stock yards and
hundreds of houses in South St. .loo will
bo inundated. Tho situation is serious
to tho packing interest, as well as hun?
dreds of small farms on the low lands.
Kansas City, Juno 29.?|Special)?
Tue Missouri river at this point is at a
dangerously high state. At 0 o clock
this evening tho water registered threo
feet oven abovo tho high water mark, or
twenty-throe feet abovo standard low
water mark. Tho water is rising stead?
ily one inch an hour, and will probably
rise two or throe foot more in tho next
day or two.
I'arts of Harlem, a hamlet just across
the river, have already been submerged
and about twonty-?vo families have left
their homes and are camping on tho
high grounds. All the farms along tho
river are submerged and the crops ruined
on this side of the river.
The high water has caused no flood
excepting as It has backed up the waters
of the Kanawah, which empties into the
Missouri at this place. The back waters
have submerged much of tho low lands
and the one hundred or more squatters
living there have boon obliged to aban?
don their homes.
Tho water has also hacked up in
Kansas City and has run out of the man?
holes, Hooding various parts of the city.
Very little actual damage has been
done as yet, and no great damage is an?
ticipated unless tho Missouri waters
should riso morn than threo .foot above
the present stage.
A dispatch from Atchinsort says that
the Missouri river is now two feet
higher at that point than it has been at I
any other time this season. Farms on
the Missouri side were submerged last
night. Wheat fields will bo a total
loss.
Levenworth also reports very high
water, tho inundation of much farm
land, and the destruction of crops.
Manskiki.i>, Ohio, duno 89.?(Spe?
cial I?At li o'clock this afternoon Rich
land county was visited by one of tho
hardest win, and rain storms in its his?
tory. Meagre reports from tho sur?
rounding country aro to the effect that
great damage has been done to crops of
all kinds. Many wheat Holds aro
thought to ho entirely ruined. Tho
lower portion of tho city is flooded,
water on some of the streets being over
two feet deep. At 3:45 p. m. tho water
is still coming down in tarrents.
TDK JAPS MUST KKTCItN.
A New Enterprise Tbal is Not Encour?
aged by tho State Department.
Washington, 1). C, duno 2'.).?|Spe?
cial]?Assistant Secretary Nettleton has
directed that the two Japanoso men im?
ported by Mr. Wolf, of Chicago, must be
returned to Japan. Tho fact is that
Wolf imported from Japan two vehicles
known there as jinrikshas, and two Japa?
nese men to propel them by hand, bis
intention being to place thorn in the
public parks of Chicago for the purpose,
of hauling children free of charge. He
agreed to give tho men 880 each per
month for a period of six months.
Mr. Wolf is in tho clothing business
and a special agent intimates that it
might bo an artless way Mr. Wolf had
of benefiting his business. Assistant
Secretary Nettleton in reaching this
decision says tho enterprise, as far
as known, is a new enterprise in this
country, but can hardly be called a new
industry. It would seem to bo neces?
sary to import "skilled labor" to propel
jinrikshas. Mr. Wolf is therefore held
to have violated the alien contract law.
but as ho has declared that he had no
such intention. Assistant Secretary
Nettleton says if the men aro sent back
to Japan Mr. Wolf will not bo pros
ecu ltd.
Leprosy in British Columbia.
Ottawa, Juno 21?. ? f Special j?Dr.

ber, had been separated on an islantl

months.. In two cases Or. Smith found
that iho victims of the loathsome dis?
ease were secretly slain by their fedlow
countrymen to prevent tho possibility
of contagion.

McKINLEY'S SCALP
Is the Price of the Refusal of
K. of L. Demands.
Washington, Juno 29.?[Specinl[?
Tho fight Of the Knights of Labor
against Captain Meredith, chief of the
bureau of engraving and printing, has
assumed increased interest, in view of
tho fact that it has been taken up by
tho executive committee of that order.
Information reached hero this after?

that tbey would uso tho power of that
organization to defeat tho election of
Mr. McKinley for governor this fall if
the demand for tho reinstatement of
certain Knights of Labor to tlio bureau
of engraving and printing at Washing?
ton were not complied with. It is with

that nearly all of them aro fiction. Mr.
Powderly said yesterday that thoro has
been no question of political nature in
connection with Ohio presented. He
added further that the committee has
not been called upon either to. consider
or act upon anything of a political na?
ture.
an 1.11 tout ant DECISION.
Railroads May Accept Die Same Kates for
Longer ami Shorter Ulstnneeti.
Washington*, Juno 29.?|Special]?
The interstate commerce commission
to day in an opinion by Commissioner
Morrison decided the case of tho .lames
it Mayer Iluggv Company against tho
Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas
Pacific Railroad Company, tho Western
and Atlantic Railroad Company and the
Georgia Railroad Company in favor of
the complainant.
Carriers, it is decided, may accept tho
same rates for longer and shorter dis?
tances provided tbey do not subject any
particular person or locality or any par?
ticular discriptiort of trallic to unrea?
sonable disadvantage. Tho circum?
stances and conditions which mako a
greater charge for a shorter distance
lawful relate to tho nature and charac?
ter of the transportation service over
the same line to the longer and shortor
distance. Points to justify such greater
charge must be competing in transpor?
tation to the longer distance point and
as to freight which if not carried over
the line on which it is located would
reach such destination by water trans?
portation.
Goods shipped from Cincinnati to
points in Georgia are interstate tiallic
and all the roads forming a part of the
line over which such goods are carried
to their destination are ongagod in inter- j
state trallic commerce and subject to
the acts regulating commerce. Neither
I the roads together nor any one of thorn
can evade tho fourth section of that
statue by declaring that as to trallic
destined to certain stations on the ter?
minal road it is a local carrier, tho
carriers will be ordered to cease on and
after .inly '-.'O, 1891, from making any
greater charge in the aggregate on bug?
gies, carriages, and other first class
freight in less than car loads from Cin?
cinnati than to Augusta, and from mak?
ing any charge on euch freight from
Cincinnati to Atlanta in excess of 81
per 100 pounds.

F?ll TUR KAISKH'S SA FHT Y.
A Herl in dispatch says that three of
the leading detectives in the service of
tho Prussian government here have
gone to London to keep an eye on tho
exiled anarchists and socialists in that
city during tho coming visit of tho
Kaiser, and to point out to tho English
police any who arc likely to ho trouble?
some. Tho mission of tho detectives is
said to bo merely a precaution and that
tho government has received no informa?
tion that would justify fear of any in?
tended insult or injury to the Kaiser.
Nevertheless it is known to tho police
that the gertnan colonly in London in?
cludes a number of individuals who are
wholly anarchical in their tendencies
and who are believed capable of abusing
the hospitality of England to show their
hatred of existing institutions.
Tho German Anarchists aro said to
have a secret club in East London in
which tho most dangerous doctrines are
thoroughly discussed and action urged,
if not determined upon. Noovetaet lias,
however, yet been proved against these
people. Tho Russian Nihilists also
have a headquarters in London whero
conspiracies are hatched and tho means
provided to carry them out.
There is a strong undercurrent of
sympathy with the nihilists which does
not exist for tho Gorman anarchists,
and the latter would do well if tboy
value their'ease not to provoke public
attention during tho imperial visit.
The kaiser will leave Prince Henry in
charge of tho empire during his ab?
sence. Prince Henry has been well
trained to occupy the post of regent
either in war or peace, lie is credited
with having all the kaiser's energy
without his eccentricity.

by some of Philadelphia s most influen?
tial business and professional men. all
of whom are Republicans, to point out
tho cause of tho degredation of public ?
affairs In the Stato and tho necessary
steps towards improvement.
Senator Quay's management of tho
Republican machine is said to bo cor?
rupt and in strong contrast to the rank
and file of tho party; that his leadership
is chnracterlaod as unscrupulous In Its
methods and disastrous in its results.
Quay Is hold responsible for the over?
whelming disaster tho party mot with

lature aro charged with committing a
stupid political blunder by their hos?
tility to the ballot reform bill, and wltn
having violated the express plodgo of
tho party and oponly defied the will of
the overwhelming majority of their con?
stituent. Things have found a fitting
culmination iu tho robbery of tho city
and Stato treasuries.
As tho party will soon ho called upon
to nominate a Stato and citv treasurer
and auditor general tho ivbudnations
must bo given to honest men, or tho
party will moot with another defeat in
the presence of the facts. Pennsylvania
Republicans must not hesitate as to
their duty, or as their course. It Is a

to Canadians in retaliation for Canada's
Interference in preventing the comple?

Foundland and the United States. A
dispatch to Governor 0'Urion was under?
stood to bo the result of a conferenco
between Sir William Whiteway and
colonial ollice officials.
