MISSOURI AT DANGER HEIGHT.

Portions OF Harlem and Kansas City
Flooded-Crops Ruined on Lowlands.
KANSAS Cry, No., July 1..-fhe
river at this point continued to rise
slowly all day, passing the danger line line
and sooding the lower parts Of the bot
tom lands. The condition Of the tracks
across the river at the approach of the
Hannibal 81 sc. Joe bridge is unchanged,
the washing out of the dyke having re.
Heved the pressure to such. an extent
that no further damage was done to the
railroads. The entire town of Harlem
is under water up to the first floor of
the houses, with the exception of few
that are built ON knobs. The street car
line running to Midway has suspended
operations as the tracks are under water
for nearly the whole distance. Reports
from various points on the river to the
United States signal Office show that
the rise is about over and the river will
begin falling soon.
At Manhattan and st. Joseph the river
is falling slightly. In West Kansas
City the water has overfiowed the low
lands to such an extent that many fam
lilies have been compelled to seek safer
quarters, but the damage to property
has been slight.

CHEROKEE, Ia. July 1.--Governor

fol ow ag proclamation to the people Of
the state:
To the people of the State Of Iowa: You
have heard of the affiiction which has
/ have made personal examination of
the facts in this city by coming and going
over the flooded districts, and lind that at
least scventy-five families have lost every
thing and some twenty-five more have
lost most Of their household goods and
lnuch OF their clothing, while their dwell
lings have been greatly injured By the
floods. In addition 70 this loss Of houses
and furniture the county ct large has suf-
fered greatly in the loss of nearly every
bridge, both iron and wood, within its
limits. A careful estimate places the
number Of families who require help at
once :. loo. thus making q population Of
about zoo hat require, and viii require
for q considerable length Of time, to be
cared for by the charity of our people. In
addition to the above, many OF the sur
rounding towns have also suffered greatly,
and will necessarily be compelled to APP
peal to the people OF the state for aid.
In view of this calamity / recommend
that the mayors of the several cities Of the
state and other charitably disposed per-
sons Immediately take steps to organize
proper committees to solicit aid for these
unfortunates, and see that the same is
promptly forwarded to David III. Bloom,
mayor OF Cherokee, for distribution
among those of the city who have suffered
losses, and such persons as may be named
by the proper authorities of the other
towns which have suffered from the same
calamity. All contributions so forwarded
will be faithfully applied to the purpose
for which they are sent. Let contribu.
tions be prompt and liberal

WASHINGTON, July 1.--Mr. Theodore
Roustan, the French minister to this
country, has just returned from visit
to Chicago in connection with the
Worlds fair. Frances exhibit, said
ne, will be very complete one. Thus
far we have formed but one committee
that on the fine arts-but others will
speedily follow. The extent OF Frances
participation in the fair will depend
largely upon the liberal construction
which the government of the United
States puts upon its customs laws. Not
only must our articles be entered free
of duty, bat we also desire that they
shall be treated as goods In bond, except
where we desire to sell them. Jn rhat
case we shall expect to paw the regular
rate OF duty on impQrts..
DO you think tie fair viii prove q

I'm very sure OF 1t. II viii be so far
as the Chicago people are concerned.
They are very enterprising very much
In earnest. Mr.. Roustan's report to
his government regarding the fair was

THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.

Its Renewal Assnred-England Practi-
cally 1Iember of 1t.
LONDON, July LA Berlin dispatch
says that the renewal of the triple alli-
ance is no longer matter of speculation.
Italy's formal adhesion has been re-
ceived by both Austria and Germany.
The French government appears to
have had an inkling Of what was going
on, and the result has been an increased
irritabilIty in the foreign policy of
France, and renewed efforts to exact
pledges OF cooperation on the part of
the car. BY agreeing to use her feet
in the Mediterranean to uphold the
existing status England has practically
Joined the triple alliance. and this fact
Is also recognized with deep chagrin in
Paris. In Vienna Count Taffe expressed
his deep pleasure over the renewal Of
the dreibund, adding that it went far
toward removing the clouds that had
ohscured the European horizon.

KANSAS Cry, July The Stars st.
Joseph Mo- special says: The river has
risen steadily since Saturday and at
noon is within sixteen inches of the
highest point reached in ten years.
Residents of the French bottoms, north
of this city, are in state of alarm and
many are preparing to move. The
water is still rising and reports received
from Sioux City and Omaha show a
gain OF six inches in eighteen hours. If
the river should overflow the French

tinues twenty-four hours the stock

NEW ALBANY, Ind, July There
was another brutal whipping by White

which . young woman Of Is years was
one OF the victims. VIM. Mcclure and
his 18-year-old stepdaughter live near
Jeavenworth, the county seat Of Craw-
tcrd county. They were suspected Of
hSing In adultery, but there was no
proof OF this charge. Sunday morning
Twenty Masked white Caps,
all armed with revolvers, went to the
Mcclure residence, broke down the
door, and seizing Mcclure, who is about
30 years old, and the stepdaughter they
dragged them to tho woods and tied
them face foremost 10 trees. Then the
clothing OF both the victims was low
cred to the hips and the White Caps
commenced tho cruel work Of switching
them on the bare backs, fiaying them
from the shoulders to the hips. The
young woman shrieked for mercy at
every blow she received, but her appeals
were vain until
She Sunk Eainting
from the pain. She received over fifty
lashes, and her shoulders, back and
hips are frightfully lacerated. Old man
Mcclure was given about seventy-five
lashes, he also fainting under the say-
ago punishment After the whipping
the White Caps notified their victims
th9t II they were found in the county
twenty days later they would be hung
up by the neck. This infamous whip
. ping of o helpless, defenseless Rirl has
kcroated the most intense excitement Ut
Leavenworth and in the neighborhood
Of that town, and Is denounced with
great bitterness. The victims win be

bubtless false, though Mcl4uire is q

The old fight with time on the trotting
track is so important one to the COM
fort and convenience of every American
that the loss Of half second on the
record of Maud S. in 28t is an event
which stirs far wider eddy of interest
than is bounded by the race track.
The swift mile made by Maud s. al
GlenvilIe, Ohio, July 80, 1885, has now
stood as a record for six years and owe,
"a longer period than any other like
record has remained unchanged since
2.26i was made in 1874, and was un-
changed until 1852. In so years no other
record has gone unchanged one-half as
as long, so steady are the changes by
which mile in three minutes has been
reduced to within St seconds of the 200
ia the 7S years, since thousands of dol
lars were bet that no horse could trot in
less than than three minutes.
Ii has taken 200 years of breeding and
training to bring the thoroughbred 24l
seconds short Of 200. and the mile in
1854 made by Salvador at Monmouth
Park is as yet only year old. Trotting
is bounded by this century, and 90 years
have seen an advance which arouses
speculation as to the possibility OF reach
ing that distant goal and far of bound Of
3 mile in two minutes. II the records go
on dropping rs fast as they have for 4S
years past, during which 20 have been
cut of the slowly diminishing record,
this speed will be reached in about 1910.
