man said that he did not know when
this would end. The city ought not
to begin to repair the street as soon
as it has been finished. He had tried
last year to get the contract for grad
ing the street lived up to, but couldn't.
Now they could see the result. The
people paid enough money to nave the
street in good shape.
Aid Coy explained the necessity for
the repairs, and the bill was allowed.
Aid. Kleinschmidt moved that the
sidewalk and curb across Liberty
street at Front be taken up and a
GROSS walk put down. This was car
ried.
The cross walk at the corner of Sec
ond and Spring streets was ordered
repaired, on motion of the same alder
man.
The bills were allowed, including a
total pay roll of $64l20. One bill, for
Sl67 60. received from the county for
the expenses of the recent primary cleo
ton, was held out and referred to the
city attorney, at the request of City
Recorder Hodapp, VINO said that the law
was not clear whether the city or coun-
ty should stand the expense. The
county had paid the bills and now asks
the city to reimburse it. He was of
the opinion that the county should pay
the bill. Two years ago similar bill
had been allowed and paid by the
council, but he believed that it could re-
cover the amount from the county.

KAIsER's VISIT TO MOROCCO.
Effort to Connect Trip With Designs
Against France.

PARIS, March 22,-Emperor Williams
proposed visit to Morocco at the moment
when France is establishing her paramount
Influence there attracts marked attention
and comment Concerning the visit itself,
reports to the effect that France had taken
umbrage are distinctly denied, as it is
pointed out that there is nothing incorrect
in such a visit, which is altogether natural
during a cruise in the Mediterranean.
However, the authorities recognize that
the visit is being used in unfriendIy quar-
ters as Il pratext to stir up animosty and
excite the Moo-s to believe that they should
resist the acceptance of the French plan
for administering the country
The officials here say they. do not regard
neuver, which is attributed mainly to the
Morocco correspondent of a leading Lon
don newspaper.
Owing to the Anglo-French agreement
the authorities here expected that British
official and press opinion would assist in
the execution of the French policy. This
policy has now reached crisis as the
French mission at Fee is awaiting the sui
tan's final answer. Therefore the British
press reports that Emperor Williams visit
may interrupt the French policy are
strongly d:sapproved
Relative to the suggestion that Germany
seeks equality of trade rights in Morocco
1T is said that the Anglo-French agreement
distinctly provides for an open door policy,
whereby the United States, Germany and
other countries have the same commerce a
rights in Morocco as France.

ty court house during one of the feud

ANNUAL HIGH WATERS
CREST OF FLOOD REACHED AT
Observation-Disclosures.

PITTSBURG, Pa. March 22.-The crest
of the flood was reached at s o'clock this
morning and the rivers are rapidly re-
ceding. The highest point reached was In
the Monongahela, the stage being twenty
nine feet. The rivers started to fall at
their headwaters last night and early this
morning and the flood stage will last only
few hours, as the streams will go down
almost rapidly as they came up.
While not the greatest flood Pittsburg
has experienced, the results have been Sc
rious enough. Scores of mills have been
forced to shut down in various parts OF
the Pittsburg district, thousands of work
men thrown out of employment, hundreds
of families compelled to abandon their
homes, railroad schedules dsarranged and
telegraph and telephone service crippled
In fact. all branches of trade have been
more or less affected by the high water
1t is estimated that the loss to local in
dustries since the flood began will exceed
81 100000.
With both rivers reced.ng, normal condi-
tions. it is thought. will prevail within for
ty-eight hours. Much suffering is said TO
exist among the poor in the flooded section
of Allegheny. and the police were busy to-
day in patroling in skiffs, supplying the
needy with coal bread and provisions
One of the features of the flood which
will be severely felt in iPttsburg before the
week is out is the butter and egg famine
which it is bringing about The stock OF
butter in Pittsburg is almost exhausted and
railroad lines,-en which great quantities OF
butter are shipped into the city, are tea up
by the flood. The egg market is affected in
the same way. The result is both articles
were advancing today and lstgher prices
will undoubtedly prevail before the rivers
get back to their natural stages again.
Lower Portion of Belair Inundated.
BELAIR, Ohio. March 22-The river
reach forty-two feet here this morning
and is still rising. The lower portion OF
the city is inundated and hundreds of fam
lilies were forced to abandon their homes.
