that favorable acton would be had, but
when Secretary Lamar told Couch that he
snd his men must keep out of oklahoma,
and that the cattlemen might go out also,
the cclonists accepted the situation for the

Captain Couch. who came back from

ness displayed, and al attempt was made to

ST. LOUIS, April 23.-Dispatchss from
Southeastern Kansas report the heaviest rain
fall since TUESDAY that hes ever been known
in that part of the State. Over twelve
inches of water are said to have fallen. All
level country is submerged aud Is vast
shee. of water. Traffic on the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Railroad many miles each
way from Parsons Is suspended, and q pass
engsr train which left Parsons yesterday on
the Fort Scott and Gulf Road, was wrecked
not far from town. A large number OF hogs
and cattle in the stock yarcs on the Labette
River, one mile from Parsons. were drowned,
and, it is said, hundreds. perhaps Thousands,
of animals have been drowned in the sur
rounding country. The streams rose so
rapidly, end the water poured down
in such torrents. that little, II
ANYTHING, could be done in the
way OF rescuing live stock or securing other
kinds OF property. Fields are devas,ate IN
all directions, and great destruction of crops
and movable property has occurred. A
negro settlement near Parsons was inundated
and mahy of the people were rescued only
after great difficulty and hard labor with Inn
provIsaed boats and other means. The Mar
NATION River, which runs near Fort Scott,
cverfowed its banks with rush and cub
merged q settlement OF from GOO to 500 pop
uiation, known as North Fort Scott the

three TO five feet deep. All the people were
rescued, however. The Missouri Pacific Rail-
road track is badly washed out. Both ways
from Fort Scott and no trains have moved
since Tuesday. The Wichita Road is also
badly washed. d freight train on thu latter
rosd went through the bridge at Clearwater
ard Frank Daniels the engineer, was

suhsidiDg. bat it was still very high. and it
will take several days for it TO run off.
Traffic on the Wichita and Western Rail-
road, between Wichita and kingman, is sus.
pended. and the bridges on that road and
fhe Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe at Chevey
Bale Pain and Clearwater are washed away.
Other dispatches state that the storm ex.
tended into western Missouri, and that many
streams have overlooked their banks; that
much property has been destroyed and that
railroads have been washed away ia places
and traffic greatly interrupted.
Adyices algo come from northern Texas
noting very heavy rain fall, extending over
a large section of country, embracing Dsni-
son, Gainesville, Fort Worth, Dallas aud
other places. at Gainesville, Pecan and
Elm Creeks overfowed their banks, and be-
sides washing away much property. Women
and children chung to branches of trees for
hours before they were rescued, and In some
Instances whole families were swept away in
their houses, but in most instances they
were rescued. Several atrsets In Dallas were
deluged with water, and q high wind
damseed a number of houses. Ths Red
River is very high, and at last accounts was
rising rapidly, and fsars OF great damage
along its banks were apprehended.
