The Great Missouri Valley FlOOded--Im.
mense Damage to Crops.
From st. Joseph, No., comes the follow
ing particulars of the great floods: All the
small streams in the Missouri valley have
overlooked their banks, and portions OF
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa have
been flooded, causing great destruction of
railroad property, and making necessary
almost a total suspension of travel and
traffic over the entire railway system of this
region. Hundreds of acres of wheat, corn
and rye are submerged, and the damage to
the crops in the bottom lands will be very
great. The rain extended over Central and
Eastern Nebraska, Northern and Central Mis-
souri,, Southern Iowa, and throughout Kan
sas and was the heaviest for many years.
The water fell in torrents, and the swollen
streams soon began their work OF destruc-
ton. The food in Walnut Valley, Kansas, Is
more extensive than has been known for
years. The water swept over growing fields
of corn 10 the depth of four feet in many
places, and did great damage on the Della
ware river.
All Kansas residents are great sufferers.
Whole farms are inundated and thousands
of acres of grain have been destroyed IN the
territory through which the stream flows.
The farmers of Nebraska and Missouri
are also great sufferers, and the damage
done will aggregate many hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Ten or twelve lives
were reported lost during the early part Of
the floods.

The Brooklyn Eagle says that indica-
tons of an overwhelming Shakesperean re-
vival next year grow apace. In the first
place, the two greatest Shakespearean actors
in the English tongue will be cleverly played
against one another. Henry Irving, who
comes over to this country with magnificent
company,will be brought out by Abbey at the
Star theatre, in New York, on the first of
November. About the same time Edwin
Booth will appear in New York as a counter
attraction. About the same time that these
two men are playing against each other in
New York, John Mccullough will appear in
Brooklyn, and Lawrence Barrett will play at
the Grand Opera-house, Janauschek will do
heavy tragedy. and Modjeska, Mrs. Langtry,
Rhea, and probably one or two aspirants will
do the lighter Shakespearean roles elsewhere.
Then George Edgar, with his company
headed by Sara Jewett, will keep up the ex-
element. Lovers of Shakespeare will hardly
get time to eat.

it is the duty of the government of the

WAR IN MADAGASCAR.
The French Destroy the Principal Town and
Three Villages.

A Paris dispatch says Admiral Pierre, the
French commander, in a dispatch from Ia
matave, the principal town in Madagascar,
announces that he presented an ultimatum
to the Hova government, which rejected
it. He then captured Tamtave and de-
stroyed Toule Point, Mohonbo and Ten
erive, three villages. The French, he says
have firmly established themselves in the
island without suffering any loss of men.
The principal operations are finished and
state of siege has been proclaimed.
I he Malagassy ENJOYS had an interview
with Prime Minister Ferry before the news
of the capture of Tamatave had been re-
ceived. 1t is thought that all further ne
gotiations will now be left in the hands of
Admiral Pierre and the French agent in
Madagascar.
With reference to Admiral Perre's dis
patch announcing the capture of Tamatave,
the Malagassy ENJOYS state that the de-
mands of the French were preposterous.
They knew that the ultimatum would be
rejected. The queen of Madagascar gave
stringent orders not to return the French
fire. She recalled most of her troops to the
capital, and only 200 remained at Tamatave
to maintain order. Tamatave is defended
by merely one mud fort. mounting four old
uZze-loading guns The queen is now
shut off from foreign powers. 1t will take
the French at least five months to march to
the capital, and there is sufficient food in the
capital for a siege of several months. The
Hovas have there over six thousand disci-
rlinel troops, most of whom ar armed with
Remington rifles. The nation will fight 10
the bitter end. Meanwhile it is hoped that
the powers will intervene. The ENJOYS re-
gard the bombardment of Tamatave as a
wanton and cruel act. They fear that many
of the foreign residents of Tamatave were
