Still Rising Slowly at Nearly All Points
Little Apprehension of More Trouble.
KANSAS CITY. June 26.-At Ii O'Clock the
river was twenty-three feet seven inches,
about an inch higher than last midnight, and
thirteen inches above the gauge of Sunday
night. 1t is now nearly stationary. but the
indications are that it will continue slowly
to advance Six inches more will start the
water over the east bottoms and West Kansas
City. and the people in those suburbs are
watchful The Kaw is very high, and re-
ported TO be still RISING. The water is still
two feet ten inches below the Hood of 1881,
and as yet has not occasioned serious damage
about the city, but il the present conditions
continue the rise will soon compel a move
tuent OF the people on the outskirts OF the
low-lying suburbs. There is no especial
change in the situation regarding trains. Ad-
ditional breaks stopped the Missouri Pacific
north last night, but it is thought they will
be able to arrange for train through to-day.
Dispatches received to-day state that the
river has risen six inches at Sioux City in
twenty-four honrs; risen three inches at
Leavenworth, and is stationary at st. Joseph.
The Omaha extension of the Missouri Pa
cific is running only to Hiawatha. and is
badly washed north of that point. The
At1hison & Nebraska road has not run a reg
ular train for ten days and suffered such
damage that trains are not likely TO run for
a week or two TO come. The St. Joe Il West
ern was almost entirely destroyed for dis
tance OF sixty or seventy miles, hardly a
single bridge or embankmeut being left. 1t
is doubtful if it is in running order for two
weeks. Good judges estimate that the dam
age done to the three roads will aggregate
800, 000 and that to all the roads centering
at this city will reach half million. The

GALVESTON, June ga Jefferson special
to the News says: Lacey, one of the negroes
guilty of outraging Mrs Rogers, near Lase-
ter, few days ago, was lynched on the bridge
this morning. He fully confessed A buggy
was driven from under him, producing fall.
Five hundred people were present, of both
races and sexes. No secret was made of the
intended hanging, general notice being given
of the exact hour. 1t was first decided to
burn him, as was done in a previous case in
the same vicinity some time ago, but it being
recollected that the law provides hanging as
the penalty for rape, it was finally deter
mined to follow that course OF the three
negroes concerned. Lacey and Sullivan were
captured by the citizens. Douglass, arrested
by the officers, is still in Jail, but may be
lynched tonight"

PERU AND CHILL.
The Peruvian Minister'S Opinion of Chiirs
Action in Supporting IsIesias.

WASHINGTON, June 26-Senor Elnore,
Peruvian minister here, in an interview to-
night, said he had information confirming
the press dispatches that the treaty between
Chilli and Peru was not yet signed. Being
asked what in his opinion, was Chilis mo-
tive in trying to establish Iglesias, the PERU
vian minister replied: The government OF
Chill does not want to make peace, does not
wish peace. Ir only seeks pretext for con-
tinuing the occupation of Peru. The
meaning of it's act in setting up Igesias is to
create anarchy in Peru-to set the Peruvians
to fighting among themselves and so justify
its occupation of Peruvian territory. Chill
is seeking to make an arrangement with
Brazil and the Argentine Republic
which will prevent these two govern
ments from giving her any trouble
on account OF her war conquest. and with
this object is holding out to them induce
ments TO become interested" Senior Elmore
further said that Secretary Frelinghuysen,
some time ago, submitted to him proposition
s0r peace between the two countries, which
he (Elmore) thought would be acceptable to
Peru, but OF course Chill, which recognized
Calderon, has thus far refused to accede to
the wishes of the United States in this mat
ter Il think" said Minister Gilmore. that
the good offices OF the United States will
finally be successful. Another thing public
opinion in Chilli is, according to the latest
information l have received, changing and
setting against the outrageous policy of the
Chilian government. This information
comes by the last mail. Public opinion
may force the government to offer more
reasonable terms to Peru. Meanwhile, the
Peruvians continue firm in their recognition
of the Calderon and Montero government,
and the Bolivians stand firmly with them"

The river actually fell one inch to-day and

the June rise comes TO escape another ex-
treme treshet In East st. Louis no further
danger is feared unless another heavy rise
should come. Every weak or dangerous
point about the town is well protected, and
work is not relaxed but still kept up to
guard against any possible contingency. The
Bowman dixie holds firmly, and is good for
considerable more water, but no
more is now expected. Cahokia creek
rose some to-day, caused by water
from the breaks at Brooklyn and Venice and
for the first time in several days ran in its
natural direction down stream. This brought
the water nearer to the railroads at Relay
depot, but the levee built along the east
bank of the creek by the Cairo Short-line
and Indianapolis d st. Louis roads protects
them and also the adjacent parts of the city,
and will bear two or three feet more rise.

that source getting into the city are
aliayed. Farmers in that vicinity, how
ever, are highly incensed at the closing OF
the culvert as the water passing through
drained their land to some extent, and they
have instructed a lawyer TO bring action
against the railroad company i'll case they
are materially damaged.

rushing through the creyasse. but the ends
of the embaukment have been well riprapped,
and there is no danger of the gap getting any
wider. With this trestle finished the Chicago

up 60, 900 900 francs, without reckoning So

GALVESTON, Tex, June 26-The Associ-

viewed a party who possesses peculiarly
favorable opportunities for obtaining the
latest and inest trustworthy Information
from Vera Cruz. He learned that the es-
timated death rate of fifteen per day at that
port from yellow, fever is exceedingly eau
tions. 1t is probably correct that the figure
is even higher than the one given. The
fever, as was stated in previous dispatches, is
OF particularly fatal type, the percentage
of deaths among the unfortunates stricken
with the disease being much greater than
usual. The informant definitely stated that
out of every seven who take the infection
fully six die. The hasty denial on the part
of the State quarantine officer here and
from the ship Haytian, recently from Vera
Cruz and now under quarantine in the outer
roads of Galveston harbor, regarding the
startling reports received, is exciting more or
less comment one individual going so far as
to assert that it would not be surprising if
three or four cases OF the malignant pest de-
veloped on board the Haytian.

Proposition to Change the knights of Labor

PITrsBURG, June 26,-At the next meeting
of the general assembly of the Knights Of
Labor, which will be held in Cincinnati IN
August proposit tions will be submitted to
change the system of organization so as, to
make each trade independent. The move
ment has been inaugurated in this district,
which is the largest in the order. The cause
assigned is growing opposition to the pres
ent system wich taxes all trades when the
representatives of any one are on strike.
IL is claimed by many that if this change is
made the order viii soon go to pieces. as it
is an abandonment of its central idea that
one trade shall be supported by the Others.
