HOpORS FOR AMERICANS
300 TO BE DECORATED BY EM-
 PEROR WILLIAM.
All Concerned im the Trip of Prince Henry-List Mnde Up Largely by the German Ambnssador-Diffic or Conferring HonOrs OH Amertcans- The Practice Discouraged by State Department.

The Frnctce OsHS""SN" ny
 Department.
 Berlin, July 21.-Cabinet orders con- ferring decorations on about three hun dred Americans who had to do with the trip of Admiral Prince Henry of Prus- sia to the United States are in Emperor Williams hands for signature. The foreign office sent the papers to his majesty fortnight ago, and their re- turn and the announcement of the dec orations are expected any day.
 The list was made up largely by pr. yon Holleben, the German ambassador at Washington, though of course Prince Henry personally suggested a good many names. The delay in fixing up the list seems to have been due to the necessity of ascertaining beforehand whether persons in official positions would and could accept. There has been much correspondence between the foreign offices and Dr. von Holleben re- garding the attitude of the American OI1lCldIS WHOSE lIlulNluudd as set forth in the correspondence, are kept inviolabe here. However, after months of exchange of views the list was finally agreed upon and sent to the United States embassy for revision. The United States ambassador. Andrew D. White, following precedent in such cases. politely declined to make any suggestions and returned the list to the foreign office without any expression of opinion.
 It appears that standing instruction of the state department is that the be- stowal of decorations shall be discour- aged as much as possible, because dec orations have no place in the American government system, cannot be returned in kind and nearly always lead to diplo- matic annoyances.
 It is understood that the decorations are chiefly various classes of the Crown order.

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.
More Damage to Wheat-Total Losses
 Greatly Increased.


 Keokuk, Ia., July 21.-The height of the flood in the Mississippi river was reached to-day south of here. The river fell an inch and a half at Keokuk and the fall will reach southern points by tomorrow. But the rise of a foot more in the vicinity of Canton, Quin- cy, Lagrange, and Hannibal carried the watre over thousands of acres previous ly nuinjured. The highest water is be- tween Lagrange and Gregory, where the water on Sunday was well below the rails of the St. Louis, Keokuk and Northwestern railway on the bank of the river. A flood is pouring over the tracks to-day and reaching to the steps of the coaches. The roadbed is good and trains are delayed only by slow running through water.
 The rise to-day covered more wheat in the shock which previously stood with it's butts in water Extension of the flooded district increased the total damage, though not very great percent age on the enormous total of millions hitherto accomplished by the flood. The greatest part of the flood tonight is between Gregory, ten miles below here, and Hannibal, sixty-five miles below Farmers report a much greater loss than before but estimates approximat- ing six million damage over fffty-five miles of river frontage, will not be changed greatly.
 The river here is full of debris. South of here the flotsam includes thousands of rabbits as passengers on logs, pieces of houses and other wreckage.

Boston, July 21-A number of the anti-imperialists of this city, including Charles Francis Adams. Moorfeld Storey and Julian Goldman, left tonight for Bottoms Landing, Lake George. to join other leaders of this movement at a meeting of the special committee ap- pointed last spring to investigate affairs in the Philippines and secure the pub licity of the facts.
 The meeting will be held at the home on Hon. Carl Schurz and Herbert Welsh of Philadelphia, and many of the western leaders in the movement will also be present The object of the meet ing is to canvass the investigation that has been made and discuss the present situation. Inasmuch as Andrew Carne- gie, the chairman of the committee, is now in Europe. a temporary chairman will be chosen. but the entire proceed ings will be communicated to MT. Car negie by cable.
 It has been the belief that the anti imperialist movement was dying out, but these leaders say that they are de- termined to press the issue with more vigor than ever. It is possible that at the conclusion of the meeting state ment of facts developed will be sent to President Roosevelt.
