THE FLOODS IN CHINA.
100000 LIVES LOST IN THE SEPTET'
Der OVERFLOW.
1000 villages Inundated-3OO,o 600 People
Made Homeless-1O 5000 square Miles
aSea-A Terrible Tale of Death
and Desolation.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-Late details of the
Chinese floods make the story one of the
most terrible in history. What was a
beautiful, populous district of 10000
square miles is now rolling sea. At
least 5000, 900 people are homeless and alb
solutely destitute of the barest necessities
of lite, while it is thought that the loss of
life will reach $50, 900. Everything in the
way of figures is as yet, however, pure
speculation, with the chances of total
mortality far greater than the present es-
innate.
The special correspondent of the Stand
ard at Shanghai gives a graphic picture of
the tremendous loss of life in China from
the overflow of the Hoang- Ho river, and
of the tremendous famine now threatened
He says About one sixth of the entire
area of the Garden of China, as Ho-Nan
is styled, is now converted into vast
lake, where were a short time ago pros
porous cities of many thousand inhabl-
tanta. The rest of the country Is overrun
with wretched refugees, who were fortu-
nate enough to escape with their lives,
though with naught else. In hundreds of
instances men VINO were wealthy, now
are without rag to wear or morsel OF
food to eat.
tauce from Kaifung Flu, one of the
largest cities of the province, and in Que
instant some four miles of solid embank
ment of stone, brick, sand and clay We're
swept away, with innumerable moles end
fascines, In the district of Ching Chow
and Chen Chow no less than 1000 large
villages are stated to have been engulfed
in II very few moments and scarcely any
of their Inflated people had time to save
themselves, as the breach occurred in the
night time.
An extent of country much larger than
the whole of Wales, and much more
thickly populated, is now a raging sea-
and all people are either drowned or have
fled
According to the best authorities the
loss of life will be numbered by hun
dreds of thousands, while there are nail
lions of starving people, who are now de
pending for substance upon the charity
of others. The emperor has already con
tributed 100000 taels, beside ordering g.,
600 900 taels out of the imperial treasury
toward the relief Of sufferers.
