DELHI, India, March 1, 1904.
The population OF Delhi is about 20S 600,
and the majority of the people, as In the
other cities of northwestern India, are Mo-
hammedans. descendants of the invaders
of the middle ages. and the hostility be-
tween them and the Brahmins Is quite
sharp. The city is surrounded by a lofty
wall six miles in circumference. which was
built by Shah Johan, the greatest of the
moguls. some time about $780, and the
modern town begins its history at that date.
1t has been the scene of many exciting
events since then. Several times 1t has
been sacked and Its Inhabitants massacred
As late as 1889 the entire population was
put to the sword and everything of value
within the walls was .catried OFF by the
Persians.
In the center of the city still remains a
portion of what was probably the most
splendid palace that was;ever built I'M the
world. 1t is surrounded by second wall

The expense was quite large. The total
disbursements by the government were
about $8S0.0OO. and 1t Is probable that an
equal amount was expended by the princes

Flood High at Wichita

ss
WICHITA, Kan, July 7. Wichita
today experienced the most serious
flood in the history of the city, the re-
suit of the overflow of the Arkansas
river. Even the flood of 1877, to which
old residents have pointed, is, said to
have been surpassed by the volume of
water that has swept and is still sweep
ing over the city.
All the northwestern part of Wichita
is under water. Three hundred houses
are surrounded, the water at many
reaching to the second-story windows.
The city lies between these two
streams. Wichita is completely hem
med in tonight, trains from all direc-
tions being at a standstill. One death
is reported, that of Mrs. c. G. Me-
Adams, who died from fright. Her
house was surrounded by water.
