 < The very lowest est innate of the loss done to crops is St, 100000. Owing to the lateness of the season and the condition of the soil it is very doubtful if any, profit will be drawn during the remain der of the year from the farms which were inundated. As a consequence there will be a great deal of individual want and suffering among farmers, upon. whom the blow fell heaviest.

EffOrts co hench tne FiCstms raka---
 Steamers Unable to Make Progress
 Against the TIde-Waters Higher
 Than nt Any Time since 1858 and still
 Continue to Rise. .,s .&s as
 St. Louis, June 7.--Like mill race the swollen Mississippi is surging past St. Louis with stage of 36:9 feet to- night, making rise of one and one half feet in the last six hours. The gov- ernment forecast is that the rise will continue rapid until after midnight and then for the next two days the stage will creep up slowly, probably reach sS feet and begin to recede.
 No word was received to-day. from the 200 people imprisoned on q loWIand at Black Walnut, twenty-five miles north- west from St. Louis, and in peril of their lives from the rising waters of the Mis- souri river. Work was received last night that the rescue must be effected immediately or they probably would be swept away by morning. The river has spread out around the island with a swift current and although every effort has ben made to reach them, nothing was accomplished to-day and there has been on means of communicating with them. The Spread Eagle, moored at AL ton, H., above St. Louis, was hurriedly manned and started for the inperrilled colony late last night, but was forced to turn back at the Bellefontaine bridge. A private yacht here at St. Louis was manned by a company of policemen to- day and started for Black Walnut, as the craft sat low enough in the water to pass all bridges but the swift cur- rent had to be reckoned with. All steam was turned on but the boat made no headway against the current and after vainly stemming the flood for several hours without making hundred yards the yacht returned to shore and the venture abandoned. .-...-
 Black Walnut is located in a broad and fertile valley Of the Missouri and the land surrounding it is said to be the richest wheat land in the state. Aside from loss, if such catastrophe shall oc- cur, the property loss will be very heavy as the entire vallek is under water and houses have been washed away, farms depleted and stock drowned.
 The flood stage tonight has broken all high water records at St. Louis since May 19, 1858, when the highwater mark was S7.5 feet. The highest mark known here was reached by the great flood of June 27, 1S44, when 41.4 feet was attained. Just below St. Louis and in the vicinity of the rives Des Peres is the little fishermen's hamlet of Happy Hol- low. The denizens live in flat boats for the most part and until to-day had been beyond the ravages of the flood. But the advancing water invaded the tract to-day and the inhabitants had hurriedly to move out.

GRAND PRIX DE PARIS.
2o0,0OO.Franc Event Won by Quo vadis
 Nearly s1,O00, 900 Bet.


 Paris, June 7.-The Grand Prix de Paris, of 100000 francs, distance about one mile and seven furlongs, was run at Longchamps to-day in the presence of an immense concourse, and won by Ed pond Blanc's Quo Vadis, while his Caius and Vinicius were respectively second and third. W. K. vanderbilt's Alpha came in fourth.
 Seldom, if ever, has the Grand Prix attracted a larger and more fashiona ble assemblage to the Longchamps race course than it did to-day.
 Among the many Americans present were Consul General Gowdy and MT. and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt. English spectators were sen in greater numbers than for many years, this fact being attributed to the fact that King Ed wards recent visit and the consequent renewal of cordial relations between the two countries. although the absence of English horses in the race for the Grand Prix was much remarked.
 Shortly before the cracks paraded for the chief event, the president, Madame Loubet and their suite arrived in open landaus with blue liveried outriders and escorted by cuirassiers.
 M. Blancs victory of all three places in the Grand Prix was well received, as his horses were all favorites.
 Besides taking fourth place in the Grand Prix W. K. Vanderbilt secured third plac in the Prix du Due O'Aoate with his horse Bright.
 The total amount of the bets made with the Pari Mutel was $994, ,9S9, of which $SS2,7O4 was placed on the Grand Prix.

CRISIS IN BRITISH POLICY
ANXIETY OYER CHAMB ERLAIN'S
 PROTECTIVE SCHEME.
Reassembling of Parliament Gravoly
 
 situation Cali for n Full Revelation of the CoIoniaI Secrciary's Plan-Curt Letter Sent by Latter to a Working

man.
 London, June S.--seldorn has the re- assembling of parliament been looked forward to with greater anxiety and cu- riosity than to-day, when the anoma- lous situation will be revealed of the liberal opposition defending the conser- vative free trade budget against the government whose two leading minis ters have practically abandoned the free trade policy. The irony of the sit- uation is brought home to the govern lnent's most loyal supporters, who are beginning to reproach the ministers with bad management and to call loud- ly for revelation of Colonial Secretary Chalnberlain's plans.
 The conservative Standard complains that the colonial secret arys letter in re- ply to workingman, which was evil dently planned to coincide with the re- assembling of the House of Commons, lacks his usual lucidity of style, and fails to enlighten or assist the country in deciding difficult point.
 It is quite certain that the position looks less hopeful for Mr. Chamber lains S plans since parliament adjourned. While several influential conservatives have spoken in opposition to his scheme not single minister has ventured to praise or even express modified ap- proval of it. In some quarters MT. Chamberlain is credited with preparing a dramatic surprise in the shape of tel egrams from the premiers of all the col- onies approving the principles of his policy.
 The Melbourne correspondent of the Times says the statement telegraphed to England by Alfred Beaken, the at- torney general of the Australian com monwealth and the commonwealth government and all the governments of the separate states approved MT. Cham berlain's proposals and that an immense majority was assured for the new policy when it was submitted to the Austral- ian people, is considered to be prema- ture and not warranted by public utter ances. Some of the premiers of the states express a guarded approval of the proposals, while others have been silent. Many protectionists, adds the correspondent, are in favor of the scheme provided that the Australian tariff be increased against foreign coun- tries and not lowered in favor of Great Britain.

SHIP SUNK, 100 DROWNED
SISTER FRENCH VESSELS IN COL
 LESION OFF MARSEILLES.
InsuIairs Rams the Ltban Which Goes Down Before She Can be Beached-A Terrible Scene F0iiows-Boilers Blow Up-onIy About One Half of Those Aboard Saved.

Marseilles. June lover 100 people are believed to have been drowned near here to-day as a result of a collision be- tween two passenger steamers, the In- sulaire, and the Liban, both belonging to the Fraissenet Steamship Co.,. of Marseilles. The Liban sank soon after the accident.
 The Liban left Marseilles this morning on her regular passenger trip to Bastin, Corsica, and was run down and sunk by the Insulaire off Maire islands. The collision was witnessed from the pilot boat Blechamp, which was about two miles distant. The Blechamp imme- diately repaired to the spot to render assistance. The force of the collision cut wide rent in the Liban's side and she was already making water rapidly. Her captains saw their only chance was to run the steamer aground before she sank in deep water, and the Liban was headed full speed for the shore; but within seventeen minutes of the col 1lSIOH dIlO WHllG Sllll SOIllC IllStd14SS II Oll1 shallow water, the forepart of the steamer plunged beneath the waves and few minutes later she had entirely dis appeared. In the meantime the Ble- cham the steamer Balkan also belong ing to the Fraissenet company, had drawn near the sinking ship and were both making strenuous efforts to rescue those on board. The Blechamp picked up forty persons, many of whom were at the point of exhaustion and were only revived by the attentions they re- ceived on board. The Balkan also res- cued thirty-seven passengers, and up to the present it Is known that in addi- tion to the passengers seventeen of the crew were also saved.
 The crew of the steamer Balkan de- scribes the scene just before the Liban disappeared as terrible one. As the vessel was sinking she was inclined to such an angle that he masts struck the water, causing an eddy which made the work of rescue most difficult.
 A mass of human beings were cling ing to the laundering vessel and were uttering despairing cries as she went down. At the same time the boilers ex- ploded and produced 9 horrifying spec tacle. For a few moments the victims were seen struggling in the sea, then waves closed over them and all was si-: lent. Of the 200 passengers who were aboard the Liban it is feared that at least half were drowned.
 The Balkan launched three boats and the other succoring vessels did all pos sible to save the victims in the short time that elapsed between the time of the collision and the sinking of the Li- ban. Up to 5 o'clock this afternoon thirty bodies had been recovered.
