Saturday last between the Emperor and

ence to the bills for the relief Of the
q ,oded districts. State railways will
convey donations to sufferers free Of
charge. The Wurthe and Rhine rivers
sre subsidipg, but the waters of the
Vistula are still spreading, now covering
an area Of 800 or 400 square miles.
Saventy-nine vilIsges with population
Of 80. 900 are submerged. Experts cal
culate that 1t will IT quire months Of labor
to drain the flooded districts. Other
rivers including that above Hamburg,
threaten overflow. Sno wd,ifts in East
Prussia, fifteen to twenty feet high, are
still unmelted. The foundations caused by
the overflow Of the Theis, Hungary, have
done great damage. The suburbs Of
Szolnok and portion OF Sszgedin have
been flooded by the bursting of dykes.
There will be no harvest in the richest

panic seized upon the vast assemblage
aud a frighuul spectacle was the result.
The plrxl was constructed of wood,

without injury, being able to free an
opening permitting an exit at different
points, but many women aud children
Jumped from the top, distance of twenty

VERY SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.
The sides OF the plsza being lined with
mating IS dry as finder and there being

WAS in blszs In a few seconds. The
scenes in the neighborhood of the bull
ring were sickening beyond description
Women snd children Invested of their
clothing and crsz9d with suff 4ripg from
their burns, ran nimlessly through the
streets and could scarcely be overteken
or collected by their friends. Fifty per-

to be uarec ngniz .ble, have so far been

BoULANGER INTERVIEWED.


LONDON, April "A correspondent o.
the Pail Nall Gazette had an interview
with General Boulsnger at the Hotel
L luvre, In Paris, last evening. Taere
was long string Of visitors in the cor
ridor waiting for an audience with the
General. The interviewer found Gene
raj Boulanger to be slightly bent, full
bodied man OF medium height, with iron
gray hair which is turpiug silveIy. He
has kindly, honest face Of the bourgeois
type. His countenance shows no evil
dence Of keenness or cuteness. On the
contrary, it has a weary, sleepy and
overburdened appearance. In regard
to his candidacy for the Chamber OF
Deputies for the department of the Nord,
and his reasons for not going there to
conduct his own csnvass, he said he was
not like an ordinary candidate. He did
not appeal to the electors on petty de-
pertmentsl questions, but as q represen-
tative of great principle. Therefore
mis- presence IN the department was no.
needed, victory being certain. The
principle ne represented, he said, was 8
revision of the constitution. The Chamber
of Deputies had been stricken with impo-
tence and no longer represented the peo-
pie. In dissolution of the Chamber and
q revision of the constitution was the
only remedy for the evil. Being asked to
explain the basis Of his plan of revision,
he said "That is nv secret, which |
shall beep TO myself That is my policy"
He refused to explain his plans because
he feared tey would be criticised and
thwarted before there was chance 10 put
the m into execution. he said he would
wait until the time was ripe and then re-
veal them. He declared decisively that
no ministry formed now could last long.
Three months would be the utmost limit
OF its life. In the me entime ne intended
to reserve his plans and wait.
