TURNED into WATER
MOST DISASTROUS FLOODS AT
FLIcTING THE MIDI.
Lately Rebellious Province Of France
Now Prays Assistance From
the Government.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS. September 2S.-The floods which
have afflicted the Midi since the middle of
1858 Much of the harvest, It Is said,
has been ruined. Some workers in the
vineyards were caught unawares and
obliged to remain for twenty hours on the
roofs of such buildings as they could
reach. How rapidly the waters rose is in
dicated by a report that at one place
they reached twelve feet above the nor
NAL in three hours
President Fallieres. who started for the
south tonight, altered his itinerary so as to
visit the flooded districts, where yesterday
even some limited trains were unable to
proceed and the passengers were obliged to
disembark and seek shelter at local hotels
At Montpelier and elsewhere the cafes
and all the important hotels throughout
that section came quickly to the rescue
and remained open all night.
The Midi, which three months ago saw
nothing but wine, now sees nothing but
water Hundreds of barrels of what old
wine was left on the stock have been
washed away. The people who In the sum-
mer declared themselves independent of
the government and refused to pay taxes
are already moving TO request government
aid to tide them over the distress which
may follow the loss of part of the vintage.
Herault Badly Flooded.
Just at this time an echo of the sum-
mer's distress IS resounding in Paris The
deputies from the Midi effectively urged
the telephone administration to employ
young women from the Midi as operators,
using the argument that the Midi COM
munities are suffering through viticultural
distress. The telephone subscribers in
Paris, however are complaining that a.
ready bad service has been made worse
through the inability Of these Meridioneaux
to speak the Paris tongue, owing to their
strong accent or to understand the fine
Partisan intonations.
The correspondent of the Temps at Agde,
