Montreal March 2O.-Today Mon
treul stands In imminent danger of Il
repetition of he disastrous Hood of
1856. when hundreds OF thousands of
dollars damage was done. For some
days past the water In the st Law
renee river has been rising steadily,
until tonight 1t has touched the record
point. Along Commissioner street
huge stone wall shuts out the water.
on top of this Is a wooden dyke. and
II is a comparatively ilimsy structure,

lower part of the city would be fiooded,
Below the city the water has risen
above the level OF the road skrtins
the river, and the houses are filed half
way to the ceiling of the first floor.
Along Craig street, near Victoria
square the cellars of some Of the big
wholesale dry goods houses have been
flooded, but the damage there will be
light, as all goods have been moved
out.
The pumping stations Of the city are
working at their fun capacity in the
hope of keeping the overladen sewers
from backing up. and 50 far with toll
cradle success. Along Mil street the
first floors of half n dozen large manu-
featuring Industries are flooded, and
200 people will be thrown out of work
until the water subsidies.
The river in front Of the harbor Is
covered with floating ice. II the jam
in the river below the city gives way,
nil danger OF a flood will be over, but
al present there is little hope of TINS
taking place. and disastrous overflow
is generally looked for.

pendent of the Times reports passages
of a conversation with n diplomat in
the course of which NJ. HanotauX repu-
dated the idea that he desired to join

NJ. Hanotaux as saying that France
had nothing to gain by taking Chinese
territory; that Tonquin was enough for
her; that she did not desire to settle
in the Yum Nan province or to seize
southern China. and that NJ. Duball
had not been authorized to enter upon
the important negotiations attributed
to him.
France is not jealous OF the Chinese
loan arrangement" said NJ. HanotauX

In Florida an important
constitutional amendment was
adopted. This requires state,
county and precinct officers to
give a trust company bond, in.
stead of individual bondsmen.
BY this method communities
are relieved from the odious
bonds burden, and we think
the public service is better pro.
tected, for a trust company
will follow and prosecute a de
faulter where a state and coun
ty would be lenient and sym
pathetic. The question viii
no doubt be taken up in Other
