II is falling rapidly, and the Msisissip-

st. Louis, June $50 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 rumors of the devastation that a
substantial summary of the losses of
lives and property cannot be obtained,
but up to this writing information
from apparently the most reliable
sources showed the situation to be as
follows:
Details Of the Havoc,
Twenty lives known to have been
lost. Over 100000 acres of rich farm
ing lands under water. All of Venice
and the greater parts of Madison and
thousand people rendered homeless.
Freight traffic completely paralyZed
and passenger traffic practically so.
The shipping and manufacturing dis
trict Of East ST. Louis for three miles
along the river front under from two
to eight feet Of water. Hundreds, and
probably thousands, Of head Of stock
drowned East st. Louis threatened
with complete inundation. St Louis
flooded only along the water front. En-
tire property loss. estimated. $3,0OO,-
0CO.
Breaking Of the Granite City Lsves.
The food has probably reached the
zenith Of Its devastating power, and
the situation is bad enough. The ch-
max came when, by the breaking Of q
levee near Granite City q wall of wat.
er six feet high rushed down upon
Madison and deeper engulfed the al
ready stricken town, sweeping houses
from their foundations and drowning
fifteen refugees who were vainly fee
ing for their lives. The report was
current that fifteen workmen in the
ST. Louis Car and Foundry works lad
been drowned, but later 1t was found
that while seven employees had lost
their lives, thirteen others, men, wom-
en- and children, had perished.
Sc. Louis Asked for Help.
Hundreds of persons were forced to
the roofs Of their floating houses, and
an appeal was sent to St Louis for
assistance. Every effort was made 10
force steamers against the heavy cur
rent four miles north to the stricken
town, but 1t was noon before the
Mark Twain and Annie Russell, lashed
together and their engines working un-
der every ounce Of steam, after five
hours of battle with the current, were
able to reach Madison. For the bal
ance of the day and into the night
the work of rescuing refugees from
floating houses, treetops and various
high places proceeded, and there being
no place to take them nearer than st.
Louis, they are pouring into the city
by hundreds-wet. hungry and dissp;r-
tied.

st. Louis, June 10.-With an unex-
pectedness astounding to the tired citi-
zens of threatened East st. Louis and
vicinity and even 70 Government Fore
caster Bowie. in st. Louis, the MissiS-
sippi food which had begun to recede
after reaching stage of 3I.5 feet be-
gan a rapid rise, and reached stage
of 31.75 feet, establishing the highest
official water mark ever recorded in
St. Louis. The rise was rapid after the
dawn of day. the water creeping up
from 81 feet, where the recession dur
ing the latter part of the night had
placed the stage, steadily regaining
lost ground. and increasing until at
noon the stage had reached 37.75 feet,
and from that time for some hours re-
mained stationary.
Explanation of the Phenomenon.
What caused the rise is problem
atical. Forecaster Bowie advances as
explanation that the water that had
spread out through broken levees to
the north was being drawn back into
the channel by the receding water,
and had caused a temporary rise at
this point He says the rise will be of
short duration and the decline will
consequently be rapid. A report has
been current all day that nine persons
were drowned by the capsizing of a
boat near the Madison railroad depot
yesterday, but despite all efforts this
report has not been confirmed
Many Refugees 1t Sc. Louis.
1t is estimated that 5000 refugees
have found shelter in ST. Louis and
vicinity. People remaining in their
flooded houses in the inundated dis
tricts are being furnished with food
as rapidly as possible. 1t is estimated
that 1000 people a;e still living in
flooded homes in Granite City, Venice
and Madison. A supply boat has been
outfitted and will daily make trips to
relieve suffering.
Situation Still Critical.
The food situation In East. st. Louis
is still critical. 1t was believed Mon
day night that the flood had been con-
quered and work on the levees was
stopped and men were employed SIM
ply to watch the temporary barriers
to see that they did not weaken. But
the additional rise caused effoits to
further raise the levees to be hurried
ly resumed, and all business was
again abandoned, and the majority of
the citizens aided in keeping the wat
er out of the city, The viaduct lead
ing from East st. Louis to Eads
bridge, which has been the viewing
point for thousands of people since
the food began. has been ordered
closed, as the water has, it is believed,
weakened the abutments and rendered
the bridge dangerous.
