THOUSANDS DROWNED.

Is no means Of finding out how many thou-
sands have been drowned. but the number
is estimated bv Chinese authorities 1T from
IL. coo to 90. 900.
The flooded district is within twelve
miles of Pekin. the capital OF China. As :.
rrIe Chinese officials make very little stir
when n calamity like this happens, but the
nrovimity of the disaster has resulted in its
being brought to the attention of the En-
reror. who has ordered that al! possible re-
lief he given. Survivors from tho villages
nearest Pekin have been allowed such shell
ter as they can find in the city walls. but
thousands are without protection against
the rain, which continues TO fall.
The floods have greatly damaged large
number OF estates belonging to Pekin
mobiles. The unu sual rains began July %
and continued until August 10. The crops
In the flooded district were destroyed.
Early in Septen her high officials OF Pe6ln
and Tien-tsin suddenly forbade the slauSh-
ter of cattle. theii object being to appease
the wrath OF the gods and stop the rain.
The result was to cut of the entire meat
supply, which led foreign consuls to pro-
test and to report the situation TO the
foreign ministers at Pekin. 1t is claimed
that the action OF the officials constitutes
violation OF the treaty rights.
