During the past three days all the North China rivers are run- ning at the fullest capacity a dis- astrous general flooding is feared.
Large areas in Peiping are under water and scores of houses have collapsed, with fortunately only a few ca- sualties, only six deaths being recorded.
The city is practically cut off from the market-gardens outside of the walls and there is a seri- ous shortage of fresh food. Reuter.
PEIPING FLOODS
Hankow, To-day. The Peiping-Liaoning Railway and the northern sector of the Tientsin-Pukow Railway are men- aced by flood as a result of the collapse of sections of the dykes along the Yangting. River and the South Grand Canal at Tangkuan- tun, according to a Tientsin mes- sage.
Heavy downpours in Peiping and Tientsin during the last few days have submerged part of the cities. In Peiping, the water in low-lying districts near the city gates is al- most knee deep. Traffic between the inside and outside the city has been rendered extremely difficult.
Meanwhile, it is learned that mountain freshets have damaged the Pelping-Suiyuan Railway track at Tatung and Pingtichuan. Traffic on the railway has been disrupted.
