Kansas City, Me, Jane SO. The flood La the Missouri river reached ita highest stage a a o'clock. The water la now failing, and ail apprehension of farther damage as set at rest, The river at 4 o'clock registered twenty-six feet and twe inches above low water mark, having fallen eoe inch daring the previous boar. The water, is steadily failing at the rate ef an inch an hoar. Harlem, the village across the river which waa flooded yesterday, is still under water, but no further damage haa been done.

Parts of Kansas City, Kan are yet sab-merged by the backwater of the Kaw. bat only tbe houses ef squatters on the hw lands have been badly damaged. Various industries ia the bottoma have been seriously Inconvenienced. The Badger Lumber Company's yards are flooded. The water has Invaded the hoa; fards ef the Kingaa Packing Company and the Phoenix PkeUng-hooae.

Swift A Co. 'a aretid roona is flooded, and some of their ether departssente are innndateti. The water ia new failing ia the Kaw as the Missouri river recedes, and ao further damage ia expected.

Parker and Jacob Koch, also sought safety on tho mala land yesterday. They left behind all their poeaessioDS, including about 10O head of stock, that will perish if the river carries away the Point, aa the current is toe swift for them to swim ashore. The neck across which the water flows is about 150 yards wide, and the stream to about 10O yards wide. Aroand the island thus formed it ia seven miles. Tho current across the neck is about four feet deep.

Tho ear. rent cat through the Gumbo. As long as this tough crust stands the Point is safe, bat should the cv-rent eat through to the alluvial soil be ow. it would be only a matter ef a few hoars until the great volume ef the rrver would be pass ing through a new ehaaneL Between Atchison and Kuahvllle, the Hannibal and St. Joseph.

'and the Kansas City, St. Joe and Council Bluffs tracks are covered with water in several places. The Hannibal track is not safe to use, and the Kansas City people will have to abandon theirs if the situation grows any worse. Between Bnshville and the river not less than twenty-five farm houses are sumunded by water, and: farmers are oat in boats trying to reaeuo shocks ef wheat that are yet above water. A Si Joseph, special Tho river is still very high at this point; atanding, eighteen feet eight inches over low water mark, tbe same as aa noon yesterday.

The water has oversowed the low hinds about Lake Contrary, and that body of water is new a part of tho groat flood. Fears are expressed that as the water recedes a channel will be cut. draining the lake, leaving hotels and boat-houses surrounding an unsightly mud hole. FLOODING! TMg OESCR T. The Great Colorado Salt Basin Fast Decern is a Fresh Water Lak Yuaaa, June 30.The Colorado des ert basin at Sal ton, sixty miles west of Yam, ia rapidly filling op with fresh water from a aubterranean pasmge, believed to be connected with the Colorado river, caused by the high waters of last February.

At last advicea tbe desert waa converted Into a lake five nulea wide. The machinery la being removed from the aalt factories at Salton. Tho Soathern Facifie railroad track through the basin for more than fifty miles, its lowest point being. 2a feet below the sea level. The Colorado river ia ICO feet above the sea level at Yam.

If the subterranean passage connects with the Colorado atove Yuma, the like will be over four hundred feet ia depth and over fifty miles king. If the waters continue to rise the Mutbern Pacifio track will be submerged for nearly 100 miles and the great desert of CUorade will be converted into a vast lake. 8EARCHINQ FOB THS SOURCE- Pacific Bailroai Officials Maktag aa Javestigatiea of tho Caasr. Los Angilts, 'June 30. When the story of rising water near Salton.

first reached the Southern Facilio otitciala here they paid no paiticular attention to the rumors, but they anally decided to make an investigation. Aa 'Indian runner was sent out ivh instructions to find where water leaves tlte river, if such bo tho cajo, and to Uake a thorough examination as to bow It passes through 'he sand hills and readies the desert. It 1 believed. that tho water leaves the river Just above I Hot Knob, near Yuma, nearly sixty miles fion Salton, and works its way through the dry sand te the low ground this side of the river. It will take two or three days for tbe Indian to make hia report.

A boat with sailors was svnt from San Pedro to Salton last night. From that point a boat provisioned for a week's crniso will sail south, and attempt to reach the source of flow while the In dian runner followa the bank or tbe river from Yuma. As the water does not come within a mile of the railroad track there ia no obstruction to traffic, and no immediate trouble ia apprehended. Advices from Yuma last night said the water at Salton ia rising, and is from fourteen to sixteen inches deep aroand the salt works. One -hundred square miles are reported under water.

The railroad company have men out to ascertain the depth of the water and probable causes. A dispatch from Salton last night stated that a strong wind from tbe west had just set In, driving tho water to tho south. Tho water haa not raised any ainee yesterday noon. When is waa fourteen, inches deep. The thermometer registered in the son 145 degrees at 5 p.

Badieal reeonstrucrioa. has hUssisaippi rocked under tho throe of so violent political agitation as during the past twe weeaav. One month ag it seemed as though the Sub-Treasury heresy was -finding: lodgment among a class where it waa leas expected, bat the events of the past week unmistakably tell that rapid dissipation of Sub-Treasury foul air has set ia from every point of the political com pries, and within the next sixty days will be entirely out of the State.

Saturday and Monday Senators George and Walthall received delegate instruo- tiona from a half dozen counties where a Sub-Treasury majority was conceded and where little contest was made by the antiav The reaction is due to twe causes: Senator George is being sided by the ablest speakers of the State, and. secondly, it haa become plain, to even a cursory obeerver that the real ssiMtioa of the National Alliance lealers i-olit, Aivingsaon, AViiUeUe and McDwwWl was to sow broadcast over tbe State third party seed 1y fiery appeals toi indolence and miaforteune. holding out vne spous or onice te aisgrontied em seekers and ueachinx brimstone as fit portion for the mancy power. While traveling over the State they took into their confidence a number of local lead-era, to whom they freely rrisclosed their future- plans Of sctioo. They admitted MacCane to be a fetid load to tbe Alliance, but said his retention waa largely essential te its success as a political quantity, claiming for him astute ability as a tactician and organiacr.

Tlte plan is far MaoCuoe to demand of the Alliance Congress investigation number two. when Sledge, of Tea as, will play the role of scapegoat by shouldering hia (MacCune's) multitude of political sins committed in the Geargia Senatorial contest. Sledge recently disposed of bis iateerst the National IxoBonust par para tory to thia fraud on the pablie. but it might be said that he waa influenced by Ma-Cunc, so that he might appear in aa diioaterest-ed a light as puatible in swearing Mae-' Cune out of his troubles. The prevailing impression here, even in Alliance circles ia that McDowell's letter to Leo-turee McAllister makes out a fatal ease aipainst MacCune.
