on sundays.
United States Commissioner Fer
dinand w. Peck has consulted with
the authorities at Washington re
specting the question of Sunday open
ing at the Paris Exposition, and has
received cablegram saying that
President Mckinley desired that the
American section should be closed
on Sunday, as far as allowed by the
French regulations.
Mr.. Peck thereupon saw the French
authorities, and was shown bylaw,
which compels the opening of all ex-
hibits on the seven days of the week,
and even gives the French authorities
power to remove any covering placed
over an exhibit case during unauthor-
ized hours.
The same rule applies to machinery,
and the bylaw makes no exception in
the case of the national pavilions.
At Mr. Peck's instance, however, the
Director General of the Exposition
has given the American Commission
er special permission to close the
American pavilion on Sundays.

LATEST FROM THE FLOOD
HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE IN AUSTIN.
TEXAS.
No Chance for Warning-Great Fall
of Water Broke the Big Dam-Many
Families Destitute-Reief Needed
Immediately.

Flood news from Texas continues
TO grow worse. Reports coming in
from the country tributary to the Col.
orado River are rapidly swelling the
list of drowned. Thirty-four deaths
have been reported up to tonight, and
1t is feared the list will go higher.
The entire community along the
Colorado River was caught unawares
by the breaking of the dam, and the
solid wall of water, twenty feet high,
which charged down the river with
the speed of the winds, carried death
and destruction to every section. 1t
was thought yesterday that the tele-
graphic warning sent out had given
all parties notice in time to make
their escape. 1t did in the cases of
city residents living along the river,
but the country people had no noti-
fication.
Reports from Bastrop county are
that he full force of the flood was felt
there yesterday and last night, and
residents were forced to flee from their
homes. Many narrowly escaped death,
but others were not successful. and
the list of fatalities there this morn
Ing showed six Mexicans and nine
negroes drowned.
In the lower part of Austin which
was inundated on Saturday by the
breaking of the dam. eighteen persons
are missing. and the supposition is
that all of them were drowned The
list includes a white man named Har-
vey, family of six named Sperro and
two families of negroes named Dinson
and Howard.
From Horsby Bend, ten miles down
the river comes the report that Thom-
as Heley, white, and Joseph Burns,
colored, were drowned, and Henry
Hoverd and James Fries, two young
white boys, are missing.
The loss of cattle in Concho county
has been vary large Counties south
OF 3here have suffered similar losses.
Additional rises are reported from
above, and warnings have been sent
down the river to look out.
The local situation is not much i'm
proved. Something like one hundred
poor families living in destitute cir
cumstances.
Austin is well able to care for these
persons. Governor Sayers today gave
