81. Louis. June 1.-THE river dur.

present food. East st. Louis. with a
population of $4,000. having lag man
ufacturing interests and the terminal
point for railroads frcm the north.
east end south. is partly under water
and will probably be totally submerged.
The southern half of East St Louis
is deep in the food and the city's
$500 levee builders have fallen back
on Missouri avenue In the attempt to
save the remainder of the city, men
aced by swelling waters from three
sides. Broadway. the central east and
west thoroughfare, has been aban.
doned to the food.
Seven miles Of water, pressing from
the south and southeast. overcame the
city's line of defence shortly before l
a. m. and 5000 persons were driven
from their homes.
The utmost confusion reigns and it
is impossible to confirm any of the re-
ports Of drowning, which may aggre-
gate fifty and which will probably be
much less. Congressman Rodenburg,
who has charge of the patrol along
Broadway, gives it as his estimate
that the number will be about thirty.
The only drownings coming under his
personal observation were those of
two women and a man who lost their
lives near his post OF duty.
Numerous drownings are reported
among levee workers, who were caught
asleep by the food, but their names
are not known.
Ali railroad and wagon communica
ton with East st. Louis has been cut
Off Only limited number of pedes-
trians is allowed to cross the viaduct
to East ST. Louis Refugees from East
st. Louis are allowed to use the via
duct. Telegraph and telephone COM
municatiOn is still intact. Although
water has entered the first floors of
the buildings occupied by telegraph
and telephone the instruments have
been elevated out of it's reach and the
managers say that they will maintain

Efforts to Save Levee Useless.
One thousand men were working on
the part of the levee which broke. For
several hours before the final break
they had the active assistance Of hun.
dreds of women and children. The
break came at the st. Louis Valley
crossing of the Illinois Central en-
bankment, two miles south of the Re
lay depot. While as many men, wo
men and children as could stand or
the embankment were heaping sane
bags between the rails to prevent the
menacing waters from mounting ovel
the top the resistless current brok
| through the lower part of the wall o
earth and spurted in rivulets in tn
faces of those who were carrying san,
bags up the bank. Bags thrown int,
the openings by dozens of men wer
tossed by the waters like feather;
Then the workers fed from their use
less task and the alarm was given b
the ringing of bells and blowing Q
whistles in every part Of the city.

No Other Issue.

While there is prosperity there is nc
likelihood of popular demand for tar
liz revision inasmuch as tariff conditions
have always been accorded such an i'm
portant bearing upon the well being of
the country industrially and CONNER
cially. 1t could not be possible for the
democratic party to make paramount
an issue more disastrous to it than the
tariff issue. providing the present pros
perity keeps at the high tide it shows
today. And yet in what other issue
has the democratic party any warrant
for placing hopes?-Rochester Times.

The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat has
been getting together some figures
showing the growth of the country
since the republican policy obtained in
the management of the affairs of the
country. In 1850 there were 193,O25
factories in the country and they have
increased to 512,3 the number of
wage Sarners from 957, 059 to 5,316, S02
and the yearly product from 81, O19, OO0,-
900 to 1913, Ola, 600, 900, During the time
the railway mileage has increased from
9,O21 miles to 1884, 21. In every de-
partment of human endeavor the results
have been of the same character. And
all this has resulted from the operation
of the beneficient policies of the repub-
lican party. The country has become
the most prosperous and one of the
most potent in the civilized world.

1t is being whispered around state
political circles that a strong combine is
being made by the three leading candi-

man of Kalamazoo. 1t is said that their
friends will all stand together for joint

lieve that the combination cannot be

Attorney General Blair has filed a
demurrer to the answer of the Detroit,
Grand Haven e. Milwaukee railroad in
the suit brought by the state some time
ago. The facts set up in the answer
are not sufficient, he declares, to entitie
respondent to relief from the rate Of
TIVE and one-half cents mile for the
carriage of passengers and he presents
several reasons why the road should
continue to do business at that rate.
The reasons are in part: That the COM
pany does not exist under and is not
protected by special charter, which
authorizes it to fix and regulate its own
rates and charges, that it is compelled
therefore, to carry passengers at rates
fixed by the general railroad law; that
said rates are not unreasonable and re-
turn a profit.
