MORE FRENCH FLOODS.
RhOne, Loire and Tarn out of Banks
Eight Deaths.

Paris, Oct 9.-Continuous heavy rains have
caused serious floods in many parts of France.
Up to the present few deaths have been reported
but fears are entertained that the casualty list
Will grow. The damage has been heavy. Houses
have been swept away, railroad trains wrecked
and in some sections the last of the crops have
been destroyed. The principal rivers to overflow
their banks are the Rhone. the Loire and the
Tarn.
AT Avignon the Rhone has risen twenty feet
already, and the waters continue to rise at the
rate of an inch hour. The flood has carried
away everything in its path At st. Eulalle a
train has been deraIed. and at Baix 250 yards of
the track was washed out. At Privas. Depart
ment Of the Ardeche. the Rhone has overfiowed
its banks, and at some places is miles wide. A
number Of bridges have been swept away. At
Pouzzin hotel and a silk mill situated near the
river bank collapsed killing five people.
Reports received from st. Etienne say that
the valley of the Loire is one vast lake. The
flood is the worst since 1916. Communication
of all kind is temporarily at end. number
of buildings at St Etienne have collapsed Many
villages have been hastily abandoned by their
inhabitants and several carts caught by the
waters have been carried away. At Lepuy a
rise Of sixteen feet has been registered, and
three persons We're drowned. Many factories
have been inundated. and hundreds Of men have
been thrown out of employment
Advices from Montpelier say that the Tarn is
over its banks and the plain OF Heraut again is
under water. a tempest, accompanied by cloud
bursts has destroyed what little crops were left
standing after the last floods IN the valley OF
the IIerault In this locality many houses were.
unroofed by the hurricane and others were
struck by lightning.
Travel on the Paris-Marseilles Railroad is in
terrupted and many local lines have stopped
running as a result of the sweeping away of
! bridges.
| A cyclone descended on the Riviera and sev-
/ eral ships were driven ashore
France suffered from a series of heavy floods
about two weeks ago At that time many per-
sons We're drowned in the valley of the HerauIt
and the destruction OF property there was est-
mated at $4,000 600.

Shanghai of Secretary Taft is most enthusiastic
The reports published in the daily newspapers
of this city the subject have been teiegraphed
to all parts of China. The general feeling of the

authority and indicating that the United StateS
will support it in China and maintain the pollcy
in Manchuria, the only place where the open
door is threatened.

NO FEAR ABOUT THE EAST.
British officials Fail to Share Alarm
of London 'Times. -

London oct. 9-The view of the London
Times that the sending OF the American bat
tleshlp fleet to the Pacific. is likely to have an
adverse effect on the settlement Of the outstand-
questions between the United States and Japan
is not shared by the officials or diplomats here.
Any action Of a foreign government which might
be INTERPRETED as a menace TO another power Is
generally discussed by officials with the great
est reticcnce The dispatch Of the fleet TO the
Pacific is not in this category and consequently
is spoken of freely, and always as a movement
TO which no government could take exception.
1t is pointed out that America has interests
in the Pacific almost if not great as those
which she has in the Atlantic. and that 1t Is
highly desirable that her naval officers should
be acquainted with the coasts which they are
expected to defend in case of war
Great Britain OF all the powers is the least
likely To crlticise freedom of moving fleets In
time of peace as she has always made a practice
Of giving her officers opportunity to learn
something of those parts of the world in which
her interests lie At present Great Britain IS
assembling a great fleet in the North Sea. and
Germany has a feet there to offset that Of
Great Britain but this has never been con-
sidered as being possible cause for war, but as
n protection in case OF war. Even this is hardly
considered to be analogous. for there has been
Ill feeling between Germany and Great Britain,
whereas it is believed here that the differences
between the United States and Japan can easily
be settled
