The Seine at Paris Has
Dropped Off -Four Feet,
Warfare Waged on PiIIagers-.
Several 'Apaches Killed.
Government to Give Employment
To the Needy.

Paris, Feb. 1.-The height of the wa
ter at midnight at POnt Royal was ~
feet, 3 inches, a fall Of nearly four
feet from the highest point and the
flood continues to drop at the rate or
about three-quarters of an men an
hour.
Premier BRAND has instructed the
projects to make a complete inventory
of the flooded areas and to appralse
the individual losses, after which Far
lament will be asked for new credits
in connection with the measures OF re-
lief
Soldiers are still guarding many OF
the public buildings and strong de-
tachments have been sent to the varl-
Gus outlying districts to stop the whole
sale pillage which is still going on. A
boat patrol surprised band OF
Apaches robbing villa tonight at
Boulogne-Sur- Seine. After an exciting
chase in which fusilade was eX-
changed, an infantry sergeant sank
the robbers boat with a blow or an
oar. Two of the Apaches were killed
and the other were captured.
One of the most hopeful features Oh
the situation is the action of the gov.
eminent in carrying into effect meas
ures to enable the small proprietors
both in Paris and throughout the food
ed districts of France, to re-establlsh
themselves by means of loans, and to
furnish work for the victims. The
city council following the lead of the
national government, is arranging with
the cooperation of the savings institu-
tons, to furnish money for the rebuild
ing Of stores and houses and the re-
furnishing of supplies.
The government has decided upon a
general scheme of employment, where
by those who desire work may find it
in repairing the roads and the public
grounds throughout the devastated
territory. The municipal council has
adopted the suggestion of presenting
medals to those who have been con-
spicuous in the rescue work These
medals will bear the appropriate in
sCription "FluctUat nee mergitur,'
which is the motto of Paris.
Some difficulty is being experienced
in restraining the residents of the
flooded districts from returning to their
homes Immediately on the receding of
tie water without waiting for the dis
enfectiOn of the premises. The foreign
office is now free of water, but is with
out gas, electricity, telegraph or tele-
phone service. The students residing in
the Latin quarter have formed a relief
society ana have agreed to care for
their few American comrades who suf-
fercd in any way in connection with
the flood.
In addition to $4,000 received from
Massachusetts, new subscriptions to
the relief fund from the United States
are as follows:
French colony of New York, $4,000;
French colony of San Francisco, s10.

DR.. Laveran, the specialist in microbic
diseases who received the Nobel prize
for medical research in 1907, proposes the
use of cheap and effective disinfectant
which he says was used extensively in the
time of the Romans. This is the smoke
from damp straw. 1t produces gas that
is a perfect disinfectant at small cost
and is considered especially suitable for
use in cellars, stables and the under
ground workings of the city and for
cleaning up of the country districts. The
authorities have decided to recommend
that central depots of free dsinfectants
be placed at the disposition of the pub
lie.
Despite the flood the Academy of
Sciences held it's regular meeting today
and discussed with great interest the sci
entific phenomena of the disaster and tho
recently discovered comet. The members
arrived and left in boats.
The progress of the relief work under
the admirable system Of French organiza-
ton is highly creditable. In addition to
the regular establishment of the Red
Cross and other relief societies, public
spirited citizens have thrown open their
buildings and upon their own initiative
transformed them into hospitals. Many
seminaries left vacant since the proper
ties passed to the state have been equip
ped as hospitals and temporary homes
for refugees, in some cases beds being
set up in the cellars of the churches.
President Fallieres has subscribed an

1t is estimated that more than quar-
ter of a million persons have been affect

WHICH ROAD
WILL BE REBUILT

Much interest is manifested in the
contest now being waged by the far
mers Of New Castle county regarding
the building Of the new road between
St Georges and Delaware City. Under
the law passed by the last session 'of
the Legislature part of the money to
be derived from the sale of bonds was
to be. used in building the road in Red
Lion hundred. BY some persons it is
said the bill provides for the. rebuild
ing OF the road from Delaware City
while others think the Clarlxs Corner
road which runs TO St Georges is
intended. Petitions by the farmers
have been circulated freely. not only
in Red Lion hundred but in St.
Georges hundred and they are mainly
in favor of the rebuilding Of the
Clarks Corner road.
Levy Court Commissioner Daniel
Thompson has had plans made Of the
improved roads. Clark's Corner road
is the one desired. The other road
would make a good summer road. Some
definite action will be taken in tbs
matter in the near tuture.

Adverse Vote in Committee
on Interstate Commerce
Measure

WASHINGTON, March 10-With the
possibility. almost the probability, Of
having his Interstate Commerce bill
badly mutilated by Congress, Presi-
dent Tart began today exerting all the
influence at his command TO save what
he can Of the measure.
The president is considerably wor-
ried over the vote OF TO z. taken in
the House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce yesterday for linn
iting the scope Of the commerce court
which is the Administrations pet feat
ure Of the bill. Although two mem-
bers Of the committee were absent,
both of whom are In favor Of the
Taft plan, the vote showed that the
opponents Of the presidential meas
ure can at least deadlock the COM
mittee with a tie vote.
on several occasions President Taft
has declared that whatever is done
to the railroad bill in congress he will
consider the measure a failure unless
his recommendation regarding the
commerce court goes through substan-
TALLY as he framed It. The amendment
on which yesterdays vote was taken
substitted the Interstate Commerce
Commission for the commerce court
as the body to receive he applications
