FLOOD DAMAGE AT ST. LOUIS
VICINITY SUFFERS LOSS OF
 FULLT $3,OOO,OOO.
Over aOO,OUO Acres of Rich Farm Land Under Water-Twenty'fiVe Thousand Trahic CompieteIy ParaIyzed.

St. Louis, June S.-So great an ex- tent of territory is covered by the flood, so constantly changing are the conditions as the water creeps higher and renders the situation the more chaotic and so unreliable are the va rious reaorts of the devastation that substantiated summary of the losses of lives and property cannot be obtain ed but tonight information from ap- parently the most reliable sources was as Sollows:
 River stage, 37.5 feet, stationary. Probably a slight rise by morning when the highest stage shall have been reached. Twenty lives are known to have been lost. Over 100000 acres of rich farming lands under water. All of Venice and the greater parts of Madison and Granite City under water. Twenty thousand people rendered homeless. Freight traffic completely paralyzed and passenger traffic practi- cally so. The shipping and manufac- turing district of East St. Louis for three miles along the river front under from two to eight feet of water. Hun dreds and probably thousands of head of stock drowned. East St. Louis threatened with complete inundation. St. Louis flooded only along the water front. Entire property loss estimated at 100000.
 The climax of the flood came last night, when by the breaking of levee near Granite City wall of water six feet high rushed down upon Madison, sweeping houses from their foundations and drowning fifteen refugees who were vainly fleeing for their lives. The re- port was current that fifteen workmen in the St. Louis Car and Foundry works had been drowned, but later it was found that, while seven employees had lost their lives, thirteen others, men, women and children, had perished. Hundreds of persons, were forced to the roofs of their floating houses and an appeal was sent to St. Louis for assist |ance.
 Every effort was made to force steamers against the heavy current four miles north to the stricken town, but it was noon before the steamers Mark Twain and Annie Russell lashed together, and their engines, working under every ounce of steam, after five hours of battle with the current were able to reach Madison. For the ball. ance of the day and into the night the refugees from floating or flooded houses, treetops and various high places were rescued, and as there was no place nearer than St. Louis to take them, to- night they were pouring into the city by the hundreds, wet, hungry and dis pirited.

UNPLEASANT HISTORY.
The Marital Relations of Mir. and Mrs.
 Carlyle.

London, June s.-The controversy which the recent publication of tine let ters of Mrs. Carlyle, the wife of Thomas Carlyle. aroused concerning their marital relations, has induced the literary executors of the historian Froude to publish pamphlet found among Froude's paper after his death as a justification of Froude's treat ment os Carlyle in his biography.
 In this pamphlet, Froude, after stat ing that Carlyle left an injunction that the record of the whole truth of the matter should never be destroyed, gives a confidential communication from Miss Jewsbury, Mrs. Carlyle's most intimate friend, from which the following ex- tracts are taken:
 Carlyle was one of those persons who ought never to, have been married"
 Mrs. Carlyle longed for children, and children were denied her. This had been at the bottom of all their quar- rels and unhappiness.
 Mrs. Carlyle never forgave the in- jury, and often resolved to leave Car lyle, who always admitted that she was at liberty to go if she pleased"
 It is elsewhere stated that the morn- ing after his wedding Carlyle tore in pieces the flower garden at Comeley bank in a fit of ungovernable fury.
 The publication of the pamphlet is condemned as i'll advised, indiscreet ana certain to provoke a stornls

LKY0HING IN GEORGIA.
Negro Hanged After Killing His
 Master.

Macon, Ga. June s-W. Vope Wins low, Jr., whose father was one of the leading members Of the Georgia bar, was killed instantly by negro named Banjo Peayy on the formers farm near Fort Valley to-day. The negro owed MT. Winslow small amount of money and was asked to work out the debt. He refused impudently and shot MT. Winslow through the forehead. Be- fore Winslow died he fired twice at his fleeing assailant without effect. A posse was organized and Peavy was soon captured and turned over to the sheriff. Tonight the officer and guard were overpowered and the negro taken to a grove within the corporate limits where he was hanged and his body rid dled with bullets. Winslow was the main support of his widowed mother and three sisters.

FRESHMEN AGAIN YIN.
Yale COachers Make Another Change
 Work on the River.

Gales Ferry, June S.-The Yale coaches have made another change, the four-oar crew being the one to receive the shake-up. Coffin, who has been rowing in the varsity eight, has been given seat No. 3 in the smaller boat. Achincloss, who has been at that posi- tion, has been moved to bow, displac- ing Johnston. Fish was at No. 2, Ad- ans at stroke and Leblanc holding the tiller ropes.
 The freshman eight continues to de- feat the varsity eight every time they meet for a brush. This afternoon they met and rowed down stream for mile and a quarter, and the first-year oars- men won by a very small margin. The crews were sent off with a racing start and rowed quite evenly, but at the fin- ish the freshmen got the jump and won. The work of the freshmen and the con- sistent manner in which they beat the university crew is something of a pug gle to the coaches. They do not row in a graceful manner, nor is their water manship clean, but they have a power- full drive which sends the boat through the water faster than the varsity eight thus far has been capable of doing.
 The varsity four-oar crew, in the new order, and the freshman four went up the river three-uuarters of mile and were sent away with a racing start. The crews stopped opposite the quar- ters, with the varsity quarter of a length in the lead.
 kl. l., agreeable. There was heavy wind blowing, the water was rough and the rain was falling hard. All the Yale oarsmen are in good physical condi- ton.

. OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.
All Interest in Enhance Debate Which
 Takes Place To-day.

London, June S.-The interest in the proceedings of parliament was entirely secondary to that shown in the lobby discussions regarding the prospects of the finance debate, which takes place tomorrow. The appropriation for the postal service was passed with only a small attendance in the house, atten- tion centering on MT. Chaplin's amend ment to the finance bill. opposing the remission of the tax on wheat, which will be discussed tomorrow. The de- bate is expected to last two days, owing to the number of members on both sides who are anxious to speak. Much uncertainty still prevails as to whether the government will permit any extend ed discussion on the governments gen. eral financial programme, but it is thought likely that the debate will be closely limited to the wheat tax. It is understood that Sir Michael Hicks Beach intends to speak tomorrow, probably following Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman.
 Rumor was busy in the Hobbies as uSual OH IEle eve UL all llitpUIldnl CLlStS, though there was little tangible as to, the attitude Of the numerous silent members of the cabinet towards the colonial secretary's daring proposals. Mir. Chamberlain has certainly succeed ed in arousing a strong opposition among the ranks of the workingmen. W. J. Davies, prominent trades union leader, speaking at Birmingham to- night, offered to contest the district on the labor platform.
 It is significant. at the moment of possible crisis, that Captain Wells of the Metropolitan fire brigade, has been ap- pointed head agent of the conservative party, in succession of K. W. E. Middle ton. The latter resigned the post at the beginning of the year on account of i'll health, but no steps have hitherto been taken to appoint his successor because there was no prospect of general elec- ton. Captain Wells has shown great talent for organization, both in the navy and the fire brigade.

UNITED IRISH LEAGUE.
Joseph Devlin fla New York.-Stcps 50
 Spread Organization.

New York, June S.-The National com- mittee of the United Irish League of America, met here to-day and took ac- tive steps for the further spreading of the organization throughout the coun- try on the return to Ireland of Joseph Devlin, whose organizing work closed last night at New Haven, after having lasted more than a year. MT. Devlin was accorded the hearty thanks of the national committee for the splendid ef- forts he has made all over the country in establishing branches and raising funds for the carrying on of the Irish fight for land and liberty. The thanks of the organization was voted to him on the motion of the national president, John F. Finerty of Chicago, seconded by John O'Callaghan of Boston, the na- tional secretary. Another resolution was passed thanking the friends of the Irish cause and in an especal manner the Catholic hierarchy and clergy and the press of the United States and Can ada for the magnificent support render ed the Irish cause as represented by the United Irish league.
 MT. Devlin, in responding to the reso- lution, took a most optimistic view of present conditions in Ireland, and ex- pressed his confidence that within a very few years Ireland would again be a self-governing country. Various members of the committee, including the national treasurer, Thomas B. Fitz- patrick of Boston, Dr. T. J. Dillon of Boston, Rev James L. Walsh of Prov idence, General James R. O'Beirne and Patrick Egan of New York city, J. J. O'Connor of Newark, Daniel Wade of Philadelphia, E. F. Duffy of Pittsburg and Rev. Father Price of Pittsburg also voiced the general sentiment of gratitude to MT Devlin and bade him God-speed on his journey back to the old land. The national treasurer re- ported that he expects to forward an additional $10,0O0 to the trustees in Ire- land, making $5O,OOO sent within the last six months.

All the Laborers ObtainabIe Put at
 Work iu Knmsas City.


 Kansas City, June S.-All the laborers obtainable were put to work to-day in the region lately subferged. The rail- raods have reclaimed only small part of their yards. Water was shut off from the city to-day owing to acci- dents to the pumps, but the aqueduct bridge across the Kansas river will be cleared tomorrow, when there will be an abundant supply of pure water. The Western Union stretched cable across the Kansas river tonight, thus closing an important gap in telegraphic com munication. The Missouri Pacific to- day began to repair it's Kansas river bridge and trains will cross late this week.
 Many factories resumed work to-day, and others will start tomorrow. The Armour packing house was unable to begin killing to-day, repairs being still incomplete.
 The number of refugees in the several camps decreases steadily.

.HARYARD,s PRACTICE.
'varsity for Second Time Sent Over
 Four.Nltfe Course.

Four-1ltfe Course.
 Red Top. June 9-For the second time since their arrival at Red Top the Harvard university eight was sent over the four mile course this afternoon in almost the exact time of the time row of last Saturday, 22:S0. The freshman eight accompanied the varsity for two miles and more than held their own, finishing half a length to the good. ! The tide was at flood when the crew stepped into the launch and were car ried down stream to the starting line. The freshmen pad1ed down the line and the two crews were sent away with a racing start. Coach Perkins, who weighs nearly two hundred pounds, was in the coxswain's seat for the fresh- men. There was a heavy fog hanging over the river and Coxswain Litchfield of the varsity crew lost nearly a length because of his inability to keep to the course. At the one mile one-half mark the varsity eight was nearly length ahead of the freshmen, but in the last half mile the freshmen spurted and pulled away from the university crew, winning out by half a length.
 The varsity kept on rowing for the four miles under the watch. Because of the rough water encountered during the first mile and because the men are not accustomed to the new shell which they were using, the rowing was not steady, but on the whole the coaches feel that it is an improvement over that of Saturday. There is less hitch- ing between the strokes but 'slugging'' is still noticeable. The men were pret- ty we'll worn out at the finish.
 The four oar crew was out at the time of the university time row and was coached on the way down, but did not seem to go through the water we'll. The men rowed in the following order: Dillingham;, stroke; Aver, three; Web- ster, two: Ober, bow. @s

TROUBLE IN PITTsBURG.
Thousands wiII be Thrown Out of
 Work

Pittsburg. June S.-Four thousand men were thrown out of employment to-day. and by the end of the week it is expected that 25.OOO more will be idle, as the result of the action of the Build CTS league in ordering general sus- pension of all building work until an adjustment of the differences between the stonemasons and bricklayers has been reached. No question of wages is involved, and all efforts of the contrac- tors to bring the warning organizations together having failed, they now pro- pose to tie up all work pending a set clement. The trouble was caused by the refusal of the stonemasons to join the bricklayers' union.

FOG PREVENTS YACHT RAGE
CONTEST DECLARED OFF BY Mu-
 TUAL CONSENT OF OWNERS.
Test of the Reliance im a Strong wind and Heavy Weather, Under Which Conditions She Has Not Been Tried, Prevensed-VyIll Race To- day.

New York, June S.--A thick bank of fog which shut down while the Reliance, Constitution and Columbia were prepar- ing to leave Sandy Hook for the race course to-day prevented the anticipated test of the new boat in strong wind and rough water under which condi- tions she has not yet proved herself. The race was declared off bv mutual con- sent of the owners. ''-'---- ''' -,.> 5~
 A moderate easterly sea and ten to fifteen knot southeast wind afforded just the conditions desired to try the sea-goihg qualities and heavy weather abilities of the new boat. All three boats had their sails up and the regatta committees yacht and two passenger boats with yachting enthusiasts had gone off to the starting line at Sandy Hook lightshio when at 10:30 the fog rolled in so thick as to make the rac- ing of so expensive craft extremely dangerous. After waiting until noon, the fog failing to lift, the attempt was given ID and sails were lowered.
 There will be races tomorrow and Wednesday. but the regatta committee announced that none would be sailed in place of the one called off to-day. Since the Glen Cove races the Columbia has been equipped with two steering wheels. The other boats already had them.

MASS PLAY LEGISLATION.
WALTER CAMP TELLS OF NETV
 FOOTBALL RgLES.
Committee, Which Met at PhiIadeiphia, Ordnins That Mass Piays in Center Of Field be Abolished-seven Men Must be in the eLine-auarfeFback to be AL lowed to Run with Ball.

The football rules committee which held a meeting to consider revision of the rules in Philadelphia on Saturday reached an agreement to make two all terations in the rules, according to a statement given out last night by Walter Camp, chairman of the com mittee. MT. Camp said:
 E eve practically agreed to make changes in the, rules governing the number os men who are to be kept in the rush line, and with regard to the quarterback. We will draft a rule for next season which will require that be- tween the two 25 yard lines, from one 25 yard line to the other, seven men will be required in the line; In other words that will prevent mass plays, and heavy formations, atthe center of the field. Inside the 25 yard lines there will be no such requirement.. The rule may be drafted in different words, of course, but that is the substance of it.
 "The rules will allow the quarterback in the same section of the field to run with the ball. provided he cross the line of scrimmage at least five yards from where 1t is put in play. Some less important changes will also be made in the rules when they are finally draft ed."
