seven hundred miles. The banks of
ated, except in the highlands and
around the walled cities and towns.
Thousands Are Drowned.
So far the loss of life can only be
estimated, but it is believed that thou
sands of persons have been drowned
Farmholfses nd brush huts have been
submerged throughout the entire dis
trict or are floating down the river.
The loss to foreign property is extern
sive.
Cotton and Rice Crops Destroyed.
Shanghai trade has been seriously

ters. Reports received here say that

to Russia for protection.
Outbreak Against Railway Projects.
The people of the province of SEE
chuan have risen against the railway
projects, chiefly the Szechuan- -HanIzow
project. At present the troops are
maintaining order but the situation
hinges on their remaining loyal. The
success of the Szechuanites would
practically mean the end of railroad
development throughout the country.
