PREP4RE FOR BIG FLOOD.
Riuer Getting Up Very Rapidly at
st. Louis.

G. o,,fe J1yne 3-The Mississippi continues
m rise here a stage Of 3D. feet being shown
this morning. This is a rise Of ID feet during
the last twenty-four hours. People all along the
river front. both here and in East st. Louis, are
preparing for the big food and officials Of the
railroads are busy making arrangements 10
place their rolling stock where it Will be safe.
Weather Observer Bowie says Of the situation
The river at Kansas City is reported to be ten
miles wide. Whatever the cause Of delay in the
arrival Of the waters from that Hood stage the
outlook becomes more encouraging The Mis-
slssippi below Cairo is comparatively low, Whlch
means that the water at present IN Inc d. LOUIS
district viii move out rapidly. thereby possibly
permitting the Kansas City stage OF water 10
reach here Friday or Saturday, at a time When
most of the food from the Des Moines River ana
upper Mississippi will have passed here
At the extreme northern end of St. Louis
County the residents moving their stock
across TO BeIefontaine Bluffs and are preparing
to follow il with their household furniture.
Thousands Of acres in St. Louis and St. Charles
counties near the AIissouri's mouth, are so stu
ated that a few feet more Of rise would cover
them.
Vast crowds of spectators throng the Eads
bridge and line the levee The water is slowly
creeping higher, but unless there is a rise of
four feet it viii not enter the buildings fronting
on the Ievee. East St. Louis being much
lo--er, is N far greater danger Of heavy damage
by rise. Already large lakes have been formed
in the low spots. To the north of East St Louis
the water extends back over the lowlands be-
tween that place and Granite City The same
condition prevails south Of East St Louis
Back water has crowded the Des Peres River
out Of its banks into the neighboring fields, but
aside from overlooking the land, little damage
can result in this vicinity. The Iron mountain
tracks follow the Mississippi for some distance
below here but it would take a rise Of nine feet
more seriously TO impede traffic

HEAT ADDED TO DROUTH.
One Nan Ouercome by the Sumo
Rain in Sight.

The weather was clear usual yesterday, and. in
addition the me curry into the eighties One
man was overcome by the heat The range IN the
temperature yesterday wide one. From the
minimum Sc degrees. recorded at a m, 1t climbed
to 60 at a NJ to 80 at noon, 81 at o'clock and So
at o'clock This the maximum for the day,
and for hours the mercury stood at this notch
Then il began to fail slowly to 50 at p m.
The heat seemed to emphasize the BROWNIES OF
the parched grass In the parks. The grass under
the trees had OF the inviting aspect which II
has when green and fresh after shower. 1t Is now
almost the color Of the dried earth beneath IT. The
BROWNIES makes the heat seem more uncomfortable.
one wonders why people should enjoy lying under
the trees with such a hard and uninvittng bed.
There were many who did this yesterday IN the
parks.
Mr. Emery OF the Weather Bureau. said last
night that If the weather this month and succeed
ing months OF the summer followed the usual
course there would be prolonged transforms. The
precipitation he declared in these months usually
is in the form of showers. A number Of these he
said would do much good. To the high pressure
over the Eastern States he attributed the heavy
foundations IN the Middle West The storms were
prevented by this pressure from entering this
lion. and they dissipated themselves In the West
The forecast is for fair weather to-day and to-
morrow. with lower temperature tonight

IMPERIAL RECIPROCITY.
COLONIES AID NEEDED.
Cabinet Not Eager to Push Question
Sir Charles Dilke's Speech.

London. June 3.-In reply to correspondent
who inquired regarding the alleged hostile feei-
ing in the colonies toward Mr.. Chamberlain
imperial zoverein proposals. the Colonial sec
rotary has written the following letter:
I need hardly point out to you that if colonial
opinion were indeed hostile, or even apdtnellS,
there would not be the slightest Possibility "a

tcles on Australian opinion as In any way con
elusive and l shall certainly be mucn inter
ested to know what is the final Judgment as IdI
as public opinion can be tested when the nature
of my proposals becomes known
The expected meeting OF the Cabinet has not
vet been held. but the cue of the ministers ap-
pears to be to earnestly repudiate any intention
of appealing to the country in the near future
Walter Long president OF the Local Govern
ment Board. speaking al Epworth tonight look
this view and declared that the government
would take it's own time and not allow its hanos
70 be forced by the Opposition He also pro-
tested against the great problem being smoth-
cred at its birth by a flood Of defamation
Among other speeches to-day on the same
subject was one by Sir Charles Dixie at DIN
ner of the Gloucester Liberal Club. He said the
government had shrunk from taxing cotton the
greatest export of the United States, but In
population of Great Britain subsisted The gov
eminent continued Sir Charles, had risked for
feiting one of the greatest safeguards IN me
event of a general war If the conflict interfered
with the trade OF the United States. because
the American fleet would be certain to protect
the rights of her citizens, who would be teedlng
Great Britain while the latter fought.
It is already clear that Mr.. Chamberlain VIII
have an uphill fight against all the more I'M
portant labor organizations in the country. All
the trade union leaders have spoken strongly
against his scheme, while the fact that the Co
operative Congress. representing Two mllLiohs u
the best class Of workers, also opposes any form
of protection is considered highly significant.
II is probably in view Of these indications that
The ministers and the Unionist party generally
are counseIIing a policy Of caution and delbera-
ton before committing themselves to any def
mite announcement.
