The Missouri and Mississippi Still Ris- ing and Ravaging the Conutry. St.Louls and Kansas City Monacced by the Flood-—-No Immediate Prospeet of Relief. Special Dispatche sto Tur Bre. Kaxsas Crry, June 25.—The river shows 23 feet 4 inches on the signal ser- | vice gunge and rising steadily. 1t has | risen six inches since last midnight. Tn- | habitanis of West Kansas City are pre- wflnfi‘w leave, one or twurhrnmil’ilg]n hav- | + ing chinged quarters to-day. There is | mfid. apprehension regarding ice house: and other property along theriver in that | vicinity. . The water is now considerably | highet'than any timd since 1881, 8. Louts, June 25, The rives is still xising slowly but the- situation, both here and in East St. Louis, is practically un chariged. Bowman dyke still stands the pressure and that and other weak potuts are constantly being stréngthened. Tlhreats were made last night to eut what is known as the Madison county dyke, which is a high embankment running eastwardly from the river a milo and a half, about midway between Brooklyn and Venice, but after a long and | angry wrangle between a number | of inhabitants of the former place and and some people living north of the dyke, it was{decided nothing should be done, as the cutting of the dyke would let more water into Brooklyn, and inundate that art of the town not mow submerged. he people were very determined, and guarded all night with shot guns and other weapons. A large volume of water is still flowing through the breaks made yesterday in the Chicago & Acton and other railroad tracks and is spreading out and covering more of the bottom toward the blutfs and along the Vandalia railroad, but no dam- age to the latter is yet reported. Re- ports from points along the Missouri vafy considerably. At, some water is still rising, while at others it has fallen from five inches to two feet. It is safo to say, however, ‘that there is con- siderable more water to come down from this side ‘of St. Joseph, and the rise here may be a foot higher. A dispatch from Bismarck says the Yellowstone river is already as high as last year and the Missouri is rising at that point. Telegrams from other places high up the Missouri indicate that tho usual June rise has commenced, and in'all likelilitod some part of it will reach here before the present flood recedes to any great extent. Should this be the case, the situntion will become alarming, and the destruction of property along both upper and lower rivers will be appalling. The river rose another three inches to- day and still coming up slowly. No par- ticular change in the situation on this side of the river. The whole of the levee is now submerged and in the lowest places the first floors of stores are flooded from a few inches to a couple of feet deep. Business in houses on the river front is suspended;.except in twu or thiree doggeries, where scaffolds haye been built. A little excitement was oceasioned in East St. Louis this afternoon by the threatened overflow of the Cairo Short Line track by backwater, but the dam of earth and “sand-bags hastily thrown on the water side of the track check the flow of water and averted the danger. The Chicago and Alton, in connection with the St. Louis and Wabash, are driv- ing piles in the break in their track above Venice, and it is expected they will have a good trestle across the gap by Wednesday, and their trains be runnin; again. A large number of farmers and land owners on the American bottom and residents of Venice and other towns be- tween East 8t. Louis and Mitchell, held a meeting at Venice this afternoon, and after exchanging views on the situation, adopted the following: Lesolved, That inasmuch as many of onr people have been sufferers by floods for the past three years, and the present general overflow has rendered destituto a large number of people who, without as- sistance, will be unable to put in crops during the coming year, we deem it our duty to appeal to all who are able to assist those thus situated; that a descrip- tion of the misery entailed upon our sec- tion of the country would seem like ex- aggeration, so fearful in its nature is the truth, and that it will be at least thirteen months before another crop will be raised and in the meantime destitution in all its forms confronts the sufferers. In view of these facts, we feol justified in appeal- ing for assistance, and-request that all contributions be sent to Henry Robin- son, president of the board of trustees of Venice, I11., for distribution. A large number of the sufferers re- ferred to in this resolution are either camped in tents on ridges, surrounded hf water, or are in the open air on the bluffs beyond. Many are also housed in box cars on railroad *tracks, and a good many of them will be obliged to be fed. Their crops are totally destroyed, and they are destitute of money or any of the necessaries of life, tional stock yards of East St. 1 no danger of being flooded, us has been reported. They can easily stand a rise of three feet and it would uire four feet to stop business, "nion yards on this side of the ri also well protected and in no danger, The situation in East Carondelet and Cahokia glows worse dail The water covers that whole section of country and some flooded out families are beginning to suffer. Their wants will probably be supplied to-morrow. The railroads which | have lost their tracks have abandoned the ferrying system between here and *Alton and have arranged with the Van- dalia road to run their passenger trains. { The Indianapolis and St. Louis will send ; their trains to Effingham and thence to | This takes away the foundation from the | 1,000,000, including buildiy Mattoon. The Wabash will use the Vandalia to Allamont where it will take its own track, and the Chicago & Alton and C., B, & Q. will run to Smithboro where they will connect with their own roads, Al other eastern lines are using their own tracks, and all western roads are getting trains through in pretty good shape. The Van. dalia track, about which there was eome apprehension yesterday, is still two feet above the water and can readily be made to resist four or five feet.

BFECHER'S BIRTHDAY, The Seventieth hullvéf_sarv of Breok- Iyn's Great Preacher Celebrated, The Academy Packed with Admirers of Henry-Speeches, Resolu- tions and Presents, Special Dispatch to Tyw Brs Yorg, June 2. —Every scat and every of standing room in the Brool lyn Academy of Musio was filled this evening by friends and admirers of Rev.

Crook the Indians on the San Carlos roservation were called by the commanding officer of the post to” meet the returned Chiricahuas and give ox pression to their views in regard to their romaining on the reservation. The meet- ing was presided over by the command- ing offlcer, and was addressed by Loco, chief of the Warm Springs ludians; Bon- ito, leader of the party who killed Judge MeComas and wife and captured their son Charlie; Monago, sub-chief; Nana, chief of the yemnant of Vietoria's old band. The substance of the remarks were that they were glad to got back to the agency to be under the protection of Gen. Crook, to settle down, and be good Indians, as they have promised the general. They said they had no friends at San Carlos, and wanted to go to the Apache country to be with friends. The tone of the speeches of the captive chiefs showed that they realized the hostility of the agency Indians, whose silence at the meeting was significant, WILOOX ON THE WARPATH, Wasaivaron, June 26.—The following dispatch was received at the department of the interior to-day: Wiicox, A.T., June 24.—Renegade dians were forced on the reservation.

He added he would reiterate the orders to General Crook. As Wilcoz is distant nearly 100 miles from San Carlos, s believed at the Indian office the agent has been mis- informed. - —— Stopping Pauper I pecial 1'ispatch to Tum Lem NEW Yorxk, June 25.—The immigra- tion commissoners held a special meeting to consider neeasures to prevent pauper limmigm ion from Great Britain. This notion is called for in view of a large ar- rival of pauper immigrants yesterday. Comnnissioner Stephenson snid he had procured aftidavits from several immi- grants, showing that they had been in- mates of several poor houses in Ireland and induced to ¢ome to this conntry mmigration, said if he were suscoptible of believing one-tenth which en aaid about be that of the it séemed to him nof been “done.

Looking down at the future he was hope- ful because God lives, Whatever faults have marred the symmotry of his life, he said, were his alone. What- ever of service he has rendered is God’s, He accepted the love which prompted the oxaggerated praise given to him because he loves men, but yet he could do with- out their love. He owed more to-his father and mother than to any other human being. Concluding, he said: It is easy to stand alone if you know you are right. After returning thanks for the honors paid him, the audience were re- quested to rise, and Beecher pronounced the benediction.
