Cases of ill-Treatment.
BERLIN, June C Hugh J. Cannon, su
jerlntendent of tho Mormon missions in
Germany; his wife, hie secretary and as
sistant secretary, were ordered by the
police today to leave Prussian territory
within three weeks. Similar orders are
about to .be served by the local authorities
on S6 other missionaries in Prussia, under
the decision ol the government to expel
them alL
It is quite unusual to serve the wives of
Mormon missionaries with a separate no
tice. Mrs. Cannon has only been here a
month. No explanation was sfyen for
the action taken, except that the pres
ence of the Mormons was tindeslred. Mr.
Cannon will move his headquarters to
Zurich, Switzerland. He has engaged a
house there, near the one occupied by
Calvin Cook, when he fled from France.
From Zurich the missionaries will occa
sionally visit the mormon communities
in Prussia, who have 1200 members in
.groups of 15 to 20 each. The German pas
tors continue their services.
No protest, has yet been made against
the expulsion of the Mormons. Elder
Francis M. Lyman, of Salt Lake City, now
In London, the European superintendent
of the Mormon missions, has been advised
of the action of the authorities, and ia
-waiting. to see if Washington will take
up the cases of a few who were ill-treated.
Through these cases it is hoped the
Prussian government may be Jed to re
verse the expulsion decree, and that sev
eral German states, notably Saxony,
Heeso and "Wurtemburg, may also re
consider their decree expelling Mormon
missionaries.

statement regarding conditions in his de- !
partment, the Postmaster-General nat- '
urally consuming more time than tho !
others in detailing the progress of the in
vestigations in his department. Secre

dent expressed to Mr. Payne his desire
that the Investigation now being made
should be as searching as the Ingenuity I
of the officials could make it. and should
be pursued until the department has
been purged of even the suspicion of
dishonesty. Immediately after Mr.
Payne returned to the department from
tho White House he sent for Fourth As
sistant Postmaster-General Brlstow,
whom he acquainted with the President's
views on the investigation.
In view of the constant activity of the
23 Inspectors employed In the work and
of the President's earnest approval of
tho investigation and his instructions to
"go to the bottom," important action at
any moment would occasion no surprise.

Off From Escape.

Steamer Is Dispatched to the Scene
Horses Have to Svrim While Hn.nl
ing Loads in. City Water Con
tinues to Rise.
ST. LOUIS, June 5. Two hundred people
in the village of Black . Walnut, on the
north bank of the Missouri, 25 miles north
west of St, Louis, are surrounded by rap
idly rising- water. Their lives are in grave
danger.
The condition was7 learned at SL Charles
tonight, and Sheriff Dierkes, of this city,
telephoned to the SL Louis police In the
afternoon for aid in rescuing the imper
iled villages. The Sheriff stated that only
light boats were available at SL Charles,
and owing to the heavy current It was
Impossible to reach tho people without the
aid of a river steamer. Harbor Commis
sioner Whyte was Immediately notified
and requested to rush the harbor-boat to
Black WalnuL The appeal was futile,
however, because the high water will not
permit a river steamer to pass up stream
under the Eads. bridge. "Word was tele
phoned to Alton, where the steamer
Spread Eagle is moored, and It is prob
able that she will at once start on a mis
sion of! rescue.
Sheriff Dierkes said the water was rising
rapidly, and unless tho people were res
cued there would be great loss of life be
fore morning.
Five Hundred Families Flee.
The Cologne levee, just south, of East SL
Louis, broke at midnight, and 500 colored
families who inhabit that district were
driven from their homes. Many had nar
row escapes from drowning.
The. swollen Mississippi has spread out
like an inland sea over the Illinois shore
in the vicinity of East SL Louis. Far
away to the southeast the water covers
Lower SL Louis.
The railroad and shipping district of
East SL Louis presents a small peninsula
on which frelghthouses stand a short dis
tance above the flood, but beyond these
frelghthouses extends a lake a half mile
wide, and the water at the eastern edge
laps at the foundation of tall building
blocks. North of East SL Louis the east
ern boundary of the flood's expanse can
not be described. Here and there the
tops of freight cars and roofs, of houses
appear above the surface, and grain "ele
vaters, surrounded and flooded, present a
scene of desolation.
Horses Svrim in Hauling- Loads.
Along the SL Louis shore wharfboats
are 'drawn in almost to the foundations
of buildings, and in an endeavor to con
tlnue business freight wagons today
Hauled their loads with the wagon-beds
touching tho water, and the horses all but
swimming. Freight traffic will probably
be discontinued Monday, as the stage by
that time will preclude all wagoning along
. the levee.
At 7 o'clock tonight tho register stood
23.4 -feeL a rise of .7 in 12 hours. Forecast
er JBowie tonight pVedcted that the rise
will continue for the next 43 hours, and
.that a stage of 37.5 feet will be reached
by Monday.
For. a tlmo today the train service to
the West was- cut off.. The Missouri Pa
cific track has been used since the flood
began by -ail the Western roads, and to
day the swift torrent of tho flood under-
mined a portion of the Missouri River be
tween St. Louis and Jefferson City.
Workmen and carloads of filling were
rushed to the spot and the trackbed
speedily rebuilt strong and substantially,
and train service was resumed this after
noon. It is estimated that within a radius of
30 miles from SL Louis the flood has ren-
dered people homeless and submerged
2SS0 acres of fertile farmlhs lands.
Martial law has been proclaimed in East
St. Louis. Men with riot guns are patrol
ling the- levees, and have orders to shoot
down thieves and levee breakers." The men
will patrol every section of the city in
which there Is possible danger from the
floods

Kansas City Will See Water In. Its
Channel by Tomorrow.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. June 5. At dark
tonight, the water In the flooded district
is almost exactly where it was one week
ago. It is possible to wade about in all
the streets yet flooded on the Missouri
side of the river, and on Monday all the
water will have fallen back to the chan
nel. In Armourdale and Argentine, where
the flood was higher, much land is still
In deep water. The reclaimed territory
is occupied by the former Inhabitants.
There is already a scarcity of labor. The
railroads are hiring every man obtainable
for repair work and the factories and
packing-houses will take back all their
old employes.
At the stockyards the dead cattle and
hogs are being hauled to the Kansas
River and thrown In, to drift down. It is
not feasible to bury the carcasses. The
dead animals will probably accumulate In
drift heaps down the river.
Oscar Blin. of Lawrence, Kan., a line
man, stringing telephone wlre3 between
the stockyards and Armourdale. was
drowned In the Kansas River from a cap
sized boat today. The drowning in Kan
sas City, Kan,, of Thomas Styles, aged
35, and an unknown Italian was reported
tonight, swelling the list of dead to 14.
Styles was rescuing people In the railroad
district and the Italian leaped into his
boat, capsizing It. The number of people
in the relief corps on both sides of the
river diminishes steadily as the men re
turn to work and the families to their
homes.
The first train to enter the Union Sta
tion since last Saturday rolled in tonight.
It was the Carthage and Joplln express of
the 'Frisco road. All the locomotives in
the yards that had steam up shrieked a
welcome and crowds on the bluffs cheered.
The Santa Fe, Alton & Missouri Pacific
will resume use of the station tomorrow.
The Rock Island, Burlington, Chicago,
Great Western and Alton line3 are now
operating to Chicago, but not entirely on
their own tracks. The MIssdurl Pacific
has the only direct line between Kansas
City and St., Louis. The Wabash has
abandoned service between Kansas City
and St. Louis.

eration on Its west lines by using a round
about route to Lawrence, and a long, cir
cuitous way from Emporia to Topeka.

North Platte. Neb., and Ellsworth, Kan.

The Disqualification of Miles.
SL Paul Pioneer Press.
In putting forward General Miles as a
suitable person to receive the Democratic
nomination In 1904, Chairman Jones seems
to have overlooked the fact that General
Miles was Jeff Davis' Jailer at Fortress
Monroe, and superintended the welding
of the manacles with which the Confeder
ate chief was Ironed. The South, would be
solid against any such nomination, and if
it was made would probably prefer Roose
velt to Miles. At the same time it will be
a miss any way and it might as" well ba
miles.
