MONTREAL, April 27.-At 6 p. m. the ice
opposite the city began to jam. In ten min
utes the water had risen two feet, flooding
the streets along the entire front of the bust

merchants found themselves prisoners
in their warehouses. The ice was carried
clear across the front of the street and now
lies piled twenty-five feet high. The water
is stationary at twenty-five feet above sum
mer level. The distress in the flooded dis
tricts is assuming considerable pro-
portions Relief committees are being
organized Affairs are infinitely worse on
the opposite shore. Eight or ten houses with
their barns have been swept away. The
losses in live stock and provisions will be
very heavy. At Toilette, Que, all the bridges
