Fifteen Thousand Homeless People In
British Columbia-Resuit OF the Frazer
River FloOd-The Dominion Government
Agents Busy Relieving the Consequent
Distress-The Water still Rising FLOODS
In Northern Minnesota.


VANCOUVER. H. C.. June lO.-The
Dominion government is having a care
full estimate made of the losses and
losers by the food.
In the municipalities, corresponding
to American counties, it is found by the
census, taken carefully as possible,
that fully 5000 people are homeless in
consequence of the flooding of the
Frazier. What their losses will be or
have been can not yet be calculated.
The enormous total of homeless ones is
made up thus:
Delta municipality, 1000; Lang, l,5oO;
Matsqui, 900; Sumas, 500; Chilliwack,
5000; Richmond. l,5O0; Burnaby. 5000;
Couquitlam, 200; Maple Ridge, 500;
Mission, 500; Dewdney, 500; Nicomen,
300; between Nicomen and Yale, 200,
and Yale, 300.
Though the Frazier river is i50 miles
long, and all the lower valley is flooded,
the greatest damage has been done in
district of 100 miles between Landers
and Yale.
Col Baker, provincial secretary, has
been personally directing the relief
work for the local government. Unre.
mitting attention on the part of the
government is being required by the
unfortunate settlers, many of whom are
dependent upon the calling of relief
steamers for what little they get to eat.
The majority of refugees are still sleep.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The English news

the bad scare caused some of them by
the hasty calling Of the cabinet council.
Wednesday afternoon the newspapers
we're seriously apprehensive of war
with France. Now they are unanimous
in expressing the opinion that there is
not the slightest cause of anxiety as to q
serious dispute with France, and it
seems to be admitted that the cabinet
council will not be called upon to decide
anything more serious than the protec-
ton of British interests in China. 1t
seems, however, that the cabinet coun-
Gil win decide the question as to
whether or not British troops will be

The Breaking Up Of the Chinese Empire
Feared by Missionaries.
SANFRAEGIsco. Oct. 5.--ssIt is the
breaking up OF the Chinese empire that
the missionaries In China have most 10
fear Just now, = was the remark .of the
Rev. w. b. White. 1.-THE news of the
attack being made by the Japanese are
of comparatively insignificant import
anca, except to those particular mission
aries who happen to be in those parts
Of China likely to be invaded. Even in
the midst Of thewar, missionaries would
probably be deemed neutral and would
be amply protected by the fags of their
own country. but In the event of disso-
luton Of the empire ii is hard to pre-
dict what might happen to them, but 1t
would certainly be Of serious conse-
quence."
Rev. Mr.. White is missionary Of
the Southern Presbyterian church, and
has Just arrived from Shanghai. He
came back ON account of his health,
and his travelling companion was an
other missionary Of the same church,

5.-The statement that q blockade of
the Island of Madagascar had been de-

the settlers have been warned by the
French to repair to the coast in view Of
