Feet of Water in Some Streets,
but Worst isiOver.
Kansas City, June 11. All calcula
tions of the weather bureau and river
experts as to the duration and extent
of the flood at the junction of the
Kaw and Missouri rivers were upset
yesterday by the continued rise of the
Missouri river, due to heavy rains in
Dakota and Nebraska., At 5 P. M.
the Missouri river was 27.2 feet above
low water, a rise of .2 since noon.
The Kaw has overflowed most of
the railroad yards, the stockyards and
the residence and manufacturing dis
trict of Armourdale. Ten feet of wa
ter is running through Kansas avenue,
tlie main street of Armourdale.
The flood is the highest since that
of 1903, but the water 'is more than
seven fort lower than in that year.
Eight lines out of Kansas City are
now tied up.
Convention Hall has been opened
to shelter refugees. At least 15 000
persons have boon drfVen from their

Whether such a development was
originally contemplated from the
meetings between King Edward and
the 'president of France and King

not stated, but the immediate result
of the representations made in Berlin
was the publication of an. obviously

BIG WHEAT CROP.
Rain Fell at Right Time for Farmers
of Northwest.
Portland, June 12. It is estimated
by the traffic department of the O. R.
& N. Co., from reports received
throughout the inland empire, that
the condition of the wheat crop at
this time is even better than it was
last year at the same period, and that
there is every indication of a bumper
crop of wheat in the grain areas of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
In nearly every section of the in

at times when they would do the most
good to the wheat crop. Sherman

MALEVITCH'S VIEWS APPROVED.
New Ressian Ambassador to Tokio
Developing Peaceful Relations.
Washington, June 13. The admin

been made acquainted with the essen
tial features of an important interview
recently had by the representatives oj
a Moscow newspaper with Mr. Ma-
levsky Malevitch, recently appointed
Russian ambassador to Tokio, which
touches upon Russia's policy in the
far east. The views expressed by the
ambassador, it is said, meet with the
hearty approval of the Russian for
eign office. The tenor of Malevsky
Malevitch s observations are pleasing
also to the administration, and to the
diplomatic corps here, as it indicates
a desire and intention on the part of
the Russian government to develop
the peaceful relations established with
Japan. The Russian ambassador took
the view that with the conclusion of
the treaty of commerce the fisheries
convention entered into between
Russia and Japan during the past
year, the peaceful aims of the policy
of Russia with regard to Japan have
definitely been established.

WORK OF TRUST LAWYERS.
Gompers Condemns Memorial on In

Washington, June 10. Indignantly
denying that the American Federation
of Labor had attacked the integrity of
the'eourts, state or national, Presi
dent Gompers of that organization
Monday night declared that the Fed
eration would wage a fight in Chicago
on the memorial of New Yorkers,
asking for an insertion of -a plank in
the platform of the Republican-party,
affirming confidence in the integrity
.and justice of the courts and insisting
on preservation ot their independence
and full constitutional prerogatives.
The executive council of the Federa
tion will hold its regular meeting in
Chicago during the time the conven
tion is held. Mr. Gompers will leave
here Thursday. He declared that
most of the signers of the resolution
of protest were attorneys or other
representatives of great corporations
He said that m Chicago 'we will as
sert our rights, with the hope that
the great gathering of Republicans
will not be insensible to them.

Organized labor does. We have not
attacked their integrity, but that the

Government-Gets Many Cigars.
Washington, June 10. The in
ternal revenue department has
planned a series of prosecutions for
alleged infractions of the internal rev
enue laws all over the United States.
Officers of that department made
seizures Ihursday at two local drug
stores on the ground that they were
selling cigars in contravention of the
internal revenue laws. The tops of
boxes to which the majority of the
stamps were affixed have been re
moved, thereby leaving the packages
unprotected by proper stamps. The
government contends this is prima
facie evidence of the non-payment of
the taxes, and cigars not protected by
stamps must be declared forfeited to
the United States.

NO ADVANCE IN
NEAR FUTURE
Old Freight Rates Stand During Pres
ent Unsettled Conditions.
Presidents and Operating Officials of
RailroadsFear Stagnation Would
be Increased by Move Now Bet
ter. Business MayjRemove Neces
sity forAdvance.
Washington, June 9. No general
increase in freight rates is likely to
be made by the railroads of the coun
try in the near future, if it is to be
made at all. At a recent meeting of
presidents and operating officials of
important railroads in New York it
was the consensus of opinion that it
was undesirable to put into effect at
this time an increase of freight rates.
It was pointed out that the pro
posed increase in a time of depression
would tend rather to increase freight
stagnation than to stimulate freight
movement. Such a result would be
of only additional disadvantage to the
carriers, the opinion being general
that it would not induce increased
revenues.
Most of the officials who attended
the meeting indicated a belief that
railway business conditions were im
proving, lhe freight revenues and
the passenger revenues, too show a
notable increase in the last month
over the preceding three months, and
a general revival of business in all in
dustrial branches was reported from
every part of the country.
lhe judgment was expressed that
if business conditions did not con
tinue to show improvement it would
be necessary for the railroads to
adopt some method for protecting
the interests of their stockholders.
Only two methods are suggested
an increase of freight rates and a de
crease in wages of employes. It is
quite certain that neither will be re
sorted to before the first of next Oc
tober, and some of the officials be
lieve it will not be necessary even
then to resort to either of the meth
ods named.
In some unaccountable way, the re
port became general among shippers.

General Manager Gillie of the

Japanese Troops Kill 113 Insurgents
Within Four Days.
Tokio, June 10. A dispatch from

that from June 3 to June 7 the gov

gagements with the insurgents. In
these engagement 113 insurgents were
killed, and twenty-five taken prisoners.
The recent transfers of Corean cab
inet ministers were due to the fact
that during a conference of provincial
governors a number of cases of negli
gence of the -overnors to present the
actual facts concerning the attitude of
the Corean government towards the
insurcents were overlooked, also
terstate commerce commission had
given their approval ,to the suggested
increase in freight rates. The mem
bers have spent a good deal of time
trying to get their correspondents
right on the matter.
While the commission has no power
under the law to prevent the estab
lishment of such rates as the railroads
see fit to put into effect, unless after
due hearing the increased rates should
be found to be excessive, unreason
able or unjust, it would be equally
impossible and inappropriate for it
to give its approval to any proposed
increase in rates.
