SEARCHING FOR BoDIEs.
Great Loss of Life in the Flood Caused by
 the Bursting Dam.

Great Loss of Life in the Flood Caused by the Bursting Dam.
 Il Paris, April 2S.-Reports of the de- vastation caused by the bursting of the reservoir at Bouzy yesterday have been received from Epinal hourly this evening. The loss of life is far beyond the first estimates. About 130 deaths are now known to have been caused by the flood and the list may grow, as in the confusion and ruin it has | been impossible to account for scores of | persons who are missing. The search for dead bodies is still in progress. Thirty or more bodies were buried l today.
 l The villages and farms in the path of ] the flood are strewn with the wrecks of buildings. More than two hundred l families are homeless and destitute. M. | Leygues, minister of the interior, has \ gone with a staff of officials to the afflicted district to distribute money | among the needy Most of the towns ! near Epinal have sent food and cloth ing to the destitute sufferers. A large part of the valley is little more than
 
 trees protruding from them. The sol- diers who are looking for bodies in the debris make only slow progress. Much damage was done to the viii | 1ges at some distance from the dam. As the flood swept down the valley it gathered an immense quantity of tim | bers and tree trunks which were thrown against the buildings in the lower neighborhoods. For the seame reason the number of deaths in the lower vil- lages was disproportionately great and more bodies were mangled than at points nearer the dam.
 Part of the Bouzy tavern was found to-day on the bank of the Moiselle, eleven miles distant. The reservoir is now empty. For several days it had been above the normal level The exact cause of teh break is not known. Some think the defect was ln the plan of the structure, which was vertical. Others assert that the dam, though originally strong, had been cracked for years. The truth may not be deter mined until the official inquiry.
 Fifty thousand persons visited to-day the scenes of desolation in the Aviere valley. The little Aviere brook which ordinarily is but seven feet wide, has been converted into lake mile and a half broad. Soldiers and worluingmen from the department of roads are bury ing cattle and sheep as rapidly as pos sible to prevent disease. Hundreds of carcases were put under the ground to-day.
 The masonry on the Bouzy dam was begun in 1872 and finished in 1884. It was strengthened in 1889. The dam was $50 yards long, 66 feet high and the same thickness at the base. It was built against vertical rock and on sand stone.

AN ENTERING WEDGE.
New Departure in the Administration O
 Minis and Assay Offices.


 NIints and Assay Offices.
 Washington, April 2S-The reported selection of Herman Kretz, at present appointment clerk in the treasury de- pertinent as superintendent of the Phil adIelphia mint and of W. D. Morgan, now examiner in the mint bureau, as coiner at the same mint, is stated to be the entering wedge of an entirely new departure in the matter of the admin istration of mints and assay offices. Both gentlemen are democrats and cit 1zens of Pennsylvania, but neither was urged for appointment by either of the contending factions of local piliticas. The purpose is to take the mint ser vice out of state politics not only in Pennsylvania, but also in other states where United States hints and assay offices are located. For five or none months the president has been giving the subject much thought, He has finally concluded that the officers to whom the coinage and control of United States money in the national hints are confded should be selected by the president on advice of the treas ury, and that these appointments should not be made as heretofore fac tors in the distribution of the patronage of the state or city in which the mint happens to be located.
 The principal advantage expected to be derived from this step is that the mint service throughout the country win be less dominated by local infiu- ence and brought closer under the su- pervision of the director of the mint. Shortages defalcations and absolute thefts at Carson City, Nevada; New Or leans, Philadelphia and other points have largely aided in bringing about the ney departure.

German Sailors and Marines on the Way
 There.
 Berlin, April 2S.--About $500 sailors and marines yesterday embarked on the ironclad Kaiser for China. A rumor abroad was that Emperor William had sent the czar telegram putting the German squadron in the Pacific under the command of the Russian admiral, TyrtofR. The runnor seems incredible. Such a course would cause an uproar throughout the German army and navy. Rumors equally startling are circulated almost daily.
 The changes in Germany's foreign policy are so sudden and astonishing that even the men supposed to belong to the inner political circle are often at loss for explanations. The change of front toward Japan is still unex- plained. The official and lsemi-offlcial newspapers are kept busy denying false reports, but they fail to give any clue to the true policy adopted by the gov ernment.
 The virulence of the canard fever was shown clearly yesterday when the gov ernment found it expedient to deny the report that the Greek ironclad taking part in the Kiel fetes would be seized for the benefit of Greece's German cred itOrS
