an almost continuous series Of parks, parkways

THE WORST rs UvE
Crisis in East St. Louis Flood Is Passed
and Citv Is Recoverino

Crisis in East St. Louis Flood Is Passed
and City Is Recovering.
East st. Louis, ILL.,, June 13.-That the
crisis of the flood situation has passed
IS far as this city is concerned is gen
orally accepted today.
Boat crews which have strained their
energies to the point of exhaustion in
rescuing prisoners of the flood are now
occupying themselves in saving prop
erty and in bringing TO higher ground
belated refugees who previously had
not believed themselves in immediate
danger.
Since the disastrous break in the Illi-
nois Central levee the flood has made
no dangerous breaks, although a por-
ton of the Baltimore and Ohio en-
bankment gave way and the flood area
was further increased by seepage last
night. Water continues to seep
through Broadway in various places,
flooding the lowlands between that
street and Missouri avenue, the next
street north, with from two to five
feet of water. This section Of the flood
extends between the two streets for
miles, interrupted occasionally by en-
bankments. Some water has been also
hndlng its way into the territory be-
tween Missouri avenue and ST. Louis
avenue. People in this district, how
ever, have not been compelled to leave
their homes, although it is necessary
for them to use boats to obtain food.
The stress of the situation relieved,
1t was possible to make a survey of the
Hooded district. A strip Of several
miles showed only picture of Kansas
City and Topeka over again-an end
less vista of deserted second stories of
houses, or perhaps just their roofs,
h No ~; I. s--l-A.
and there by brick buildings and fac
tories looming secure above the waters
below In some Of the larger build
lngs people We're still living, subsist-
Ing on food brought to them in skis,
but the picture as whole was one Of
disaster and the calm which tells of It's
completeness.
No one can be found with anything
like definite idea of the property loss.
There was a general disposition, how
ever, to accept minimum reports Of loss
Of life, rather than the stories original
ing in the excitement Of the moment
when the flood poured in.
One prominent undertaken averred
that there had been no loss Of life di-
rectly in the flood, although there had
been deaths later due indirectly to the
overflow. There were no reports Of
1rownngs yesterday, nor were any
bodies recovered.
The work will continue to be that of
caring for the refugees. This the citi-
zens Of East st. Louis, led by Mayor
Cook, Colonel Culver, Of the Fifth Illi-
aois National guard, Congressman
Rodenburg and others, are doing with
an energy which seems tireless. The
supply of food seems ample, but refu-
gees still in the city would have been
more comfortable last night had they
had more bedding. With the supply
being recovered from submerged
houses by their owners, and the con-
tributions made by citizens of this city
and st. Louis Mo-, it is believed that
this need will be supplied by tonight.

A TROUBLED KINGDOM.
King Alexanaer's MesaIliance Was
Never Forgiven by His People.

King Alexander was born in 1876 and
became king in $685. on the abdication
OF his father, the corrupt and wicked
King Milan. The young king was
rather popular at first and his reign
started auspiciously But in 1900 he
married Draga Maschin, a daughter of
peasant, who had been serving
woman for the kings mother Draga
was almost ten years the senior of the
king, had bad manners and a worse
temper, and, coming of the humblest
origin, the people did not esteem her
fit to share their throne. The Servian
royal family was repeatedly snubbed by
European royalty because of Draga
and soon it became evident there was
an estrangement between king and
queen.
The queen, perceiving her influence
waning, brought to the palace a few
months ago a younger sister, about Is
years old, beautiful as Draga was ugly,
ana With WinSome manners. She had
been educated and had learned the re-
1inements denied to her elder sister.
The king promptly fell heels over
mead in love with her, and this made
matters worse than ever. That a
palace revolution or tragedy of some
sort would end it all has been accepted
for a long time by those best informed
on European politics.
The king, who might have been popu-
lar. lost his hold on his people partly
because of his marriage and partly be-
cause of his recent reactionary dis
position. He dissolved the Shupshtina,
the national legislative body, a few
weeks ago, subverted by proclama ton
the constitution of 1900 and declared the
prior constitution in effect. This was a
violent assault on political liberty and
added fuel to the flame of popular
hatred.
Servia is one of the little southeast
European kingdoms that Stevenson
studied before he wrote prince Otto,''
that Anthony Hope must have known
all too we'll before he wrote the '.Pris-
oner of Zenda," and that George Barr
McCutcheon is said to have known as
thoroughly as it's own ministers knew
it, before he wrote "Graustark" 1t

The total reported area in oats is about
1872, 600 acres, a reduction of $4,000 acres
or 80 per cent, from the area sown last
year. The average condition of oats on

dition of the other important apple pro-
ducing states ranging from points in
North Carolina to % points in West Vir-
gina below such average.
The present prospects for the peach crop

FRAUD IN MANAGEMENT
Claimed That the Stock of the Com

Schwab and Nixon Are Said to
Be Parties to Fraud.

Trenton, N. j., June 13.-Judge Kirk
patrick of the United States circuit
court at his chambers in Newark yes
terday man an order returnable in
Trenton next Monday for cause to be
shown why receiver should not be
appointed for the United States Ship
Building company.
The application was made by Ro-
land r. Conklin, who charges that the
company is insolvent, and who also
alleges fraud in connection with it's in
corporation and management.
The company was organized about a
year ago, with an authorized capital
Of S20,000,0 900, and with provision for
a bond issue Of $16,000,000. OF this &c.
100000 was to be underwritten by a
trust company. The applicants for q
receiver are holders of some Of these
bonds. They claim that they acquired
these bonds on the strength of repre-
sentations that the properties to be
acquired by the United States Ship
Building company were worth over
i20,000,000; that these companies had a
working capital Of SIS, 900; that they
aad contracts on hand aggregating
36,000,000 on which there would be a
profit Of 100000, and that those COM
Danies had an earning capacity Of So
$50, 900 a year.
It is charged by conklin and his CO.
suitors that the properties acquired
we're worth nothing like SIC. 00O,O 900; that
the contracts on hand We're only $14,-
100000; that the working capital was
less than $3,O00,000, and that the earn
ing capacity was only $1,0OOO0O, an
amount insufficient to pay the COM
2anys fixed charges.
1t is also charged that by reason Of q
secret agreement between Nixon, who
promoted the plan OF the United States
Ship Building company, and Charles M.
Schwab, the ship building company
purchased from Schwab the works Of
The Bethlehem Steel company for $780,
100000, and that this afforded Schwab

TRYING "A SQUEEZE.
Packers Are Reducing Prices Of Live
Stock and Raising Them on
Their Product.

Chicago, June 13.-The action OF the
beef trust last week in reducing prices
of cattle on the hoof to the lowest pos
Bible point and advancing the price Of
dressed meats to the dealer has resulted
In a retaliatory war by the producer
and shipper against the packer. A
famine in meat is believed to be threat
sned In consequence.
The packers are blaming the whole
situation upon the flood. Shippers are
now apparently leagued together with
view to making the trust pay more
for cattle and hogs. On the strength Of
meager receipts cattle on the hoof adj

while hogs went up 15 to 25 cents and
sheep 10 TO Is cents, Packers are COM

RESTORES OLD DYNASTY.
Whether Europe Will Intervene Is Not

Whether Europe Will Intervene Is Not
Yet Possible of Determination.
Paris, June 12.-The startling an
nouncement of the assassination of the
king and queen Of Servia has caused a
deep sensation here, particularly in
governmental circles. Officials of the
foreign offices say it is too soon to in
dictate clearly the effect of the situation
In Servia on the European situation.
Servia's dynastic troubles have been
long impending, the present uprising
being due to animosities growing out
of the propaganda Of Pretender Kara
georgevitch.
1t is recalled that when the Kara
georgevitch dynasty, secured brief
rule in 1858, the European powers in
tervened and established a protectorate
and thus terminated that dynasty.
Whether there will be similar action by
the powers at this time officials are un-
willing to predict saying the shock Of
the tragedy is principally occupying at
tention. 1t is generally believed the
assassinations are the sequel to the
kings coup d'etat two months ago,
when he suspended the constitution,
resulting in the disgrace and retard-
ment of a number Of senators and lead
ing officials.

FOLK BOOM LAUNCHED.
Colonel Watterson Thinks St. Louis
Circuit Attorney a Desirable
Presidential Candidate.

Louisville, June 13.-Henry Waiter
son has presented through his newspa-
per the name of Joseph w. Folk, circuit
attorney of ST. Louis, as presidential
possibility. Mr.. Watterson says
The latest dark horse to edge his
way, as 1t were, into the paddock has
still year before him to make rec
ord. Neither Mr.. Tilden nor Mr.. Cleve-
land had much more. If Mr. Folk be
nominated and elected by the demo-
Gratis to the governorship of Missouri
ne will occupy very much the position
occupied by Mr.. Tilden in 1876 Wheth-
sr Mr.. Folk and his friends are able
to improve the opportunity, as Mr.. TIL
len and his friends We're able to do,
is referable to future contingencies.
Whether Mr.. Folk himself is another
Tilden, or even approximately up to
the presidential quality, is a question
we have no means yet Of deciding.
