to pass all bridges, but the swift cur
rent had to be reckoned with. All
steam was turned on, but she made nc
headway against the current, and after
vainly stemming the flood for several
hours without making one hundred
yards, the yacht returned to shore and
the venture was abandoned.
Black Walnut is located in 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 of life, if such cataS-
trophe shall occur, the property loss
will be very heavy as the entire valley
is under water, homes have been wash
ed away, farms depleted and stock
drowned. The flood stage tonight has
broken all high water stages at st.
Louis since May %, 1858, when the high
water mark was 37.5 feet. The highest
mark known here was reached by the
great flood of June 81 1914. when Ala
feet was attained.
Just below St. Louis and in the
vicinity of the River Des Peres is the
little fishermens settlement of Happy
Hollow. The denizens live in fiat boats
for the most part and until today had
been beyond the ravageS of the flood.
But the advancing water invaded the
tract today and the inhabitants had to
move out hurriedly.
AT lU O'CLOCK tOnlSnC small steam
boat was secured and prepared for a
trip to Black Walnut to rescue the
people imperilled there.
ST. Charles Is Suffering.
The Missouri is doing great damage
at ST. Charles and vicinity, twenty
five miles west of ST. Louis. Several
deaths are reported. The big passen-
ger depot at the end of the suburban
electric line is surrounded by water
and tottering. The tracks for more
than two miles are deep under water.
So swift current is washing through
the ball park that it is believed the
river is cutting a new channel.
Most of the farm houses have been
swept away. All day people in skiffs
were busy trying to save property.
Three women in one farm house re-
fused to leave until they had ripped a
new carpet from the floor. The men
in the rescue boats, Obliged to go to
the assistance of others, left them and
before they could return the swirling
current was eddying about the house
so swiftly that the boat could not reach
them, and the women were left to their
fate. From a clunp of willows a house
top and some pfanks drifted out and
there was distinct sound of a Wom-
ans voice calling for help, but when
boat reached the spot the house top
had turned over and was floating away

SWAP POLICIES
Chamberlain's Adoption of
Protection Causes an
Anomalous Situation.

LONDON, June 7.-Seldom has the
reassembling Of parliament been look
ed forward to with greater anxiety
and curiosity than today when the an
omalOus situation was revealed of the
Liberal opposition defending the Con-
serVative free trade budget against the
government whose two leading min
listers have practically abandoned the
free trade policy. The irony Of the
situation is brought home to the gov
ernment's most loyal supporters, who
are beginning to reproach the minis
ters with bad management and to call
loudly for a revelation of Colonial Sec
retary Chamberlains plans.
The Conservative Standard COM
plains that the colonial secretary's let
ter in reply to workingman which
was evidently planned to coincide with
the reasSembling Of the house of COM
mons, lacks his usual lucidity Of style
and fails to enlighten or assist the
country in deciding a difficult point
It is quite certain that the position
looks less hopeful for Mr.. Chamber
laln's plans since parliament adjourn
ed. While several influential Conserva-
ttves have spoken in opposition to his
scheme not q single minister has ven
tured to praise or even express a mod
flied approval Of 1t. In some quarters
Mr.. Chamberlain is credited with pre-
pairing dramatic surprise in the
shape of kilograms from the premiers
OF all the colonies approving the prin-
ciples Of his policy.
The Melbourne correspondent Of the
Times says the statement telegraphed
to England by Alfred Beakin, the at
torney general Of the Australian COM
monWealth, that the commonwealth
government and all the governments of
the separate states approved Mr..
ChamberIain's proposals and that an
immense majority was assured for the
new policy when it was submitted to
the Australian people, is considered to
be premature and not warranted bv
public utterances. Some of the pre-
m1ers OF the states express a guarded
approval Of the proposals, while others
have been silent. Many pfotectionists
adds the correspondent are in favor of
the scheme provided that the Austria
Ian tariff be increased against foreign
countries and not lowered in favor of
Great Britain.
In his letter In reply to a working
man who drew his attention to the
denunciation Of his proposals by the
trades union leader, Mr.. Chamberlain
says he attaches no Importance to the
criticisms because the trades union
leaders are almost all strong radical
partisans. He is confident in this mat
ter the Workingmen will think or
themselves and not be dictated to by
the trades union leaders.
Mr.. Chamberlain proceeds to saw If
will be impossible to secure preferen-
tial treatment from the colonies with
out Great Britain placing some dutv
on wheat as well as on other articles
of food, because these are the chief
articles of colonial produce.

Special to The Globe.
BRAINERD, Mimi, June 7.-Brain-
erd was visited by one of the worst
fires in its history this afternoon. and
for some time the business district of
the city was threatened. The fire broke
out in the Armstrong hotel, situated
on lower Front street, and although
the department responded quickly.
great loss of property resulted on ac-
count of very low pressure of water
which made it almost impossible for
the men to cope with the flames, fan
ned by the high wind
Before the fire was checked build
ings in a whole block in the business
district were consumed, entailing a loss
Of $3O,650. The loss would have been
much greater but for the fact that
the wind changed at the critical mo-
ment and the fire headed in another
direction. Armstrong hotel, one of
the best in the city, was completely
consumed, and this is the heaviest
loss. Very little insurance was car
ried, something less than $4,000 on the
entire number Of buildings burned.
The fire broke out in one Of the
rooms Of the hotel, and spread rapidly
to adjoining buildings. On several oc-
casions roofs of other buildings caught
fire. R. l.. Weeks, fireman, had his
hand badly burned, and Sam Weeks,
Frank Fuller and E. M. Peters were
overcome by heat and smoke and near
ly perished.
The following Is a list of losses:

tasteful to them. This thing has been
kept up 50 long that the people are

see alIusiou to themselves, even if it

indignant and sometimes desperate.
This state of affairs is deplored by this

to some extent to indulge in this low
practice. There is not paper in the
place that has not done likewise to
some extent, but they were all forced
to it to fight the devil with his own

that with but a single exception or two

SMALL
RUNAWAY
Parsons,sOuders Delivery Wagon Get,
Smashed Up Some.

The Parsons-souders company had a
small runaway last evening at 6 o'clock
with their handsome new delivery wag-
on. The driver was delivering goods
on West Pike street below Col chapel,
and. while he was out and away from
the wagon, the horse became frightened
and ran up street. upsetting the wagon
and breaIiing the windows. The dam
age did not amount to very much. The
company has ordered an additional
wagon, it having been found that one
wagon is not sufficient to serve the
trade.
