Louis, June lXAt the rate of from eight to ten miles an hour tlic Mississippi river, over half a mile wide and ninety feet deep In the channel, is pouring past St. Louis toward the gulf. lor a week the river, siowly nt first and then gaining in speed, crept out of its ordinary con Ones, until ou June 8 it had established a high water mark of S7.5 feet, the highest flood tide since the same mark was unoiliclally estab lished in 1S:.S. The river is now reced ing. Thirty feet above low water mark is the danger line for St. Jxuiis, and the. river rose seven and a half feet above the danger line. The crest of the Hood has passed St. Louis, and any further destruction to be wrought will be from the possible crumbling of undermined buildings end to the country below tin's point, danger of which is lessened by the spreading of the river over the low lands. ltapid falling of the water, it is ex pected, will quickly drain the inundat ed section ou the Illinois side, where the property loss will be heaviest, and repairs to the damaged property soon will be possible.

London, Jan .The approach of the first serio ntary bru in the free tra on fight fill eery seat m of Commons Rcfore fa ii if illation, whh must largely f"s"3 !ieiu at the mercy of the Liberal and Irish votes, the members of the government attendc an important catunet meeting, at which all the ministers were present except Gerald Ralfour, the president of the board of trade, who was ill. -Henry Chaplin, Conservative, forme president of the board of agriculture, and the malcontent Unionists were ac tively engaged early in the day in and around Westminster in rallying the supporters of Mr. Chaplin's amend Diont to the budget bill, which declare tuat the removal of the tax on grain involves a needless and injurious dis turbance of trade and a serious loss of revenue without substantial relief for the consumer aud that if any taxes ore removed it should be those levied on tea nud other articles of general consumption. ioe ueiKue openou I'reimer Ralfour ascertained from John Red moud, the Irish leader, that the Na tionalist members of parliament w-ouU support the government as against Mr. Chaplin. The Liberal leader, Sir Hen ry Cauipbell-Rannerman, had Already announced, that his party would also uphold the proposal of Chancellor of the Lxcliecjuer Ritchie to. remit the grain tax. Thi3 practically insured the government from possible defeat nt the hands of its own supporters. I he curious situation created the keenest interest. At the opening of the sitting a little excitement was caused by John Red mond asking that a committee be ap pointed to inquire whether the arrest of r. A. Mcllugh, member of parlia ment for Siigo, on Saturday last under a warrant for contempt of court issued year ago in connection with the com incuts of his paper, the Siigo Cham pion, was not a breach of privilege Ibis the speaker, William Court Gullv refused to do, and William Redmom.' wound up the discussion by loudly an( ironically deploring the fact that Mr ilcHugh, who is now in Siigo jail, would not be nble to receive King Ed ward when Lns majesty visited Ire land. , The asking and answering of ones. tlons in the house followed, ami then Sir Michael Hicks-Reach (Conserva iurji;ciiy ciiiiiicoiior or tne ex- checn invited the speaker's decision i fis to whether the opportunity could m taken of the debate on Mr. Chap :as iiijR'iRiiiicnt ror n run discussion of the fiscal policy suggested by Mr. Chamberlain, the colonial secretary, not for present, but. for future adop tion. The speaker replied that he Ivu! very carefully considered the mattei and had arrived at the conclusion that it was not relevant to the budget bill, as the question of preferential tariff rates between Great Rritain and bet colonies was not raised in the bill, The scope- of the debate was thus largely curtailed at the outset. Mr. Ritchie, having formally moved the second reading of the budget bill, Mr. Chaplin, who was received wit!; cheers, rose to make his amendment, and proceeded to warmly attack the chancellor of the exchequer, to whose inaptitude, he said, they owed theit present remarkable position. In re pealing the grain duty, Mr. Chaplin said. Mr. Ritchie bad made an irre trievable mistake and had precipitated a movement for which neither his party nor the country was prepared. For a moment be appeared to have prevailed over Mr. Chamberlain, but his triumph would be short lived. ' The motion was seconded and Sir .uieiiaoi uicKs-J leach followed. II commenced with saying that his view of the general fiscal and political situ a non was quite different from the view held by Mr. Chaplin. Mr .Michael, continuing, said his col leagues were perfectly aware that the grain duty nncht be unpopular when lie inaugurated it. Rut it had'been success, and he had heard the proposal to repeal the duty with surprise and regret. lie considered that the duty wis necessary neeausc of the growth of expenditure, auainst which he had protested. Had his protests been re- ceneu wiui greater svmnathv bv t,ij colleagues lie would not now be speak ing from a bench above the gangway. It was impossible for a chancellor of tho exchequer to reduce expemlitura without Ihe hearty aud continuous sup port of the premier. Mr. Ritchie, who made a general re ply, read a carefully prepared state ment. 'J'he government, he said, thought there should be an inquiry Into the matter of preferential tariffs, but he would be surprised If the in quiry showed any practical means of carrying out a policy of preferential duties. He avowed himself to be an out and out free trader. Speaking at the Essex agricultural show, Lord Roscbery remarked that there was a lively situation in the bouse of commons. "Heaven alone knows what is corning next," added the former premier. "Startling devel opments may be expected at nny moment."
