How military map of Picking was Sc
cretly made is told by General Sir Robert
Biddulph During the China war of
1860. in which Sir Robert was engaged,
our army was greatly embarrassed by
the absence of any map of the city. But
it happened that the Russian legation
had, only a few months before, con-
trived to make map in spite of the
jealous watchfulness of the Chinese.
They had sent an officer, in small
covered cart, such as they use to carry
their women about, completely covered
in. An indicator was attached to the
wheel. He drove for certain distance
to certain crossroad, for example. and
"took a shot" with his instrument; then
down the next road, and in that way
made complete plan of Peking, with all
its streets and roads, both in the Tartar
city and in the Chinese city, General
Ignatieff, who produced the map, offered
its use to the English. There were no

had followed the army for his own pri-
vate purposes, being set to work, pro-
duced number of copies, which proved
extremely serviceable. News.

resolution requesting the standing COM
mittees to sit with closed doors, excepting

FLOODED IOWI ANQS.

PEORIA, Ills, May 7-Rescuing parties
have been out all night in the La Marsh
drainage district, flooded by the breaking
of the dam, and have found six of the
twenty families. They have been over the
entire district and do not know whether
the remaining families are safe or not.
The destruction is complete, and there Is q
scene of the veriest desolation. The dis
astrous food was due to the giving way of
the great marsh dyke, fifteen miles long
and protecting strip of bottom land
about two miles wide. The first break was
at point opposite Pekin last night. The
creyase was about six hundred feet wide,
lilies living in the bottom land possessed a
considerable amount of live stock, which,
with the houses and farm implements,
have been lost in the angry waters.
PEORIA, Ills, May 1.-THE latest reports
from the submerged district show that no
one was drowned The water is constant
ly rising Much stock has persisted and
the damage is appalling. j.,

point for many years. but is now receding.
A portion of this city was flooded and
great damage was done to property. The

out. The reports received show that the
damage amounts to thousands of dollars,
To say nothing of the delay in planting.
kEoKUK, Ia, May THE river floods In
AND around Alexandria, No. are almost
a repetition Of the great inundation OF
1881, but it is now believed that so great
disaster as that one will not result ct the
present time. The unprecedented rains of
the past week have swollen the Fox, Des
Moines and Skunk rivers to such an extent
that the Egyptian levees between this
place and Alexandria broke, flooding
thousands of acres Of land, mostly planted
with wheat, doing much damage. The
town of Alexandria is rapidly being sub
merged, and the people are leaving for the
high lands. IL is reported that the
loss of stock is great. Business
in Alexandria is nearly at standstill. aud
many of the people go about the streets in
boats. Tonight the river at Warsaw
measures about IS feet above high water
mark and the same at Alexandria The
water is still pouring over the low lands
in and around Alexandria, and a general
exodus TO the hills may ensue. At keokuk
the government gauge shows the river 70
be Is feet and six-tenths above the high
of 1884 with no immediate
indication Of greater rise. Heavy foods
are reported all along the line OF the To-
ledo, Peoria and Western railroad, and IN
told damage has been done TO crops and
farm property.
