THE CATASTROPHE WIoENs.

, Paris, Jan. 27-At 1 o'clock this morning the water was rising rapidly and had reached within a few inches of the parapet of the Quay Louvre. The flood threatened momentarily to inundate the sculpture gallery. where is kept the Venus de Milo and other priceless treasures.
 The danger of the Louvre is in- creased by the presence of a big sewer, which, it is feared. will burst. Masons were assembled hurriedly. and. working at high pressure in the glare of flaring gas lamps. are build ing a concrete wall to keep out the water. The subway station at Bercy collapsed with a terrific roar.
 The yellow water boiled through the chasm and swept all before it. Forty houses in the vicinity were abandoned. Late dispatches from the provinces bring hope. The floods have reached their crest. Tributaries of the Seine are beginning to show a tendency to fall The Rhine and Saone rivers. however. are still rising.
 Reports of villages submerged and people without food are reaching Paris. At Sevres the famous gov ernment porcelain factory is sur rounded by water.
 At o'clock the walls of the D'Orsai railway station gave way under the enormous pressure. and a vast vol tune of water poured under the road way That whole quarter is now flooded

THE COALITION
 HAS MAJORITY.

London, Jan. 26.-The com bined strength of the liberals, laborites and nationalists coali- ton reached 345 tonight. or more than a majority of the house of commons. A unionist govern ment, therefore. is out of the question. The only point still undecided is the exact strength of the coalition majority.
 But if an independent liberal majority is equally out of the question. only a short life can be predicted for the incoming government. In fact, both the liberal and unionist parties are looking away from the present struggle into the future, when the conflict at the polling booths will be renewed.
 No doubt the success of the conservatives is largely due to the constant education of the agricultural population as to the virtues of tariff reform. The education will be carried into the northern counties and Scotland in the hope of winning these territories at the next elections.
 The liberals, on the other hand, concentrate their atten- tfon on educating the country on the question of free trade and the limitation of the veto power Of the lords.

The supePsttious See in The Disaster of Paris THE ADVANCING FLOOD
Threatening the Priceless Treasures of Louvre = Disaster Has Already Be- come More Than Nat -ional-Catacombs Filled

Paris, France. Jan. 26.-The snow storm has ceased and the weather is moderating, but the Seine is still rising and Paris. like a doomed city, is holding it's breath in terror.
 Half the city is in darkness. In the gloom galloping orderiies are bearing instructions that can no longer be sent by telephone. An army of police, firemen and soldiers gives the appearance of a city fighting for it's life. Every minute brings graver dan gers. New areas are being inun- dated. quays are collapsing and yawn- ing chasms appear in the streets. The water of the Seine has invaded the entire labyrinth of underground Paris and threatens destruction everywhere. Already the damage is officially es- timated at s200,000.00O. and every hour adds millions more. The catas- trophe promisesS~to exceed the limits of national disaster and become in .ternational. The death roll is grow ing at a frightful rate. and .when an epidemic which now appears inevit- able breaks. it will run into the thousands. Scarlet fever has appeared among the refugees at Ivry.
 Among the superstitious. there is talk of the destruction of Paris as a result of the approach of HalIey's comet.> Thousands of laborers and soldiers are working like mad men to build cement walls to hold back the current that pours over the quays into the streets. There is ten feet of water in the subway station at St. LaZarre, and the sinking of the square threatens to carry down the adjacent buildings.

PINCHOT'S FATE
 NOT A DETERRENT.

. Denver, Colo. Jan, 26.-In violation of the same execu- tive ordinance which caused the removal of Forester Pinchot. army officers throughout the country. including a number now on duty at the army head quarters at Denver, have pre- pared a circular letter addressed to United States senators and others. in which there is pro- test against the provisions of the army elimination bill to be introduced In the present con- gress.
 Seldom has proposed legisla- tion for the army provoked such general indignation among army officers. The effect of the bill, if it becomes a law, will be that 20 per cent of the lieu tenants now in the service will be immediately retired. since that percentage of officers un- der the rank of captain already are more than 34 years of age.
 To protect themselves from the consequences of so serious a breach of discipline, the of ficers who have prepared the letter will sign it only as Some of those who will be eliminated"

.s..ss'ss.s.-...:s-.:-:-s-;. BALLiNcER BILLS
 BEFORE COMMITTEE.

Washington, Jan. 26.-James A Garfield, former secretary of . the interior, continued his state- ment before the senate commit . tee on public lands in reference . to several bills introduced at the request of Secretary Ballinger. . Again Mr. Garfield failed to . approve the recommendations of . Mir. Ballinger on several import . sant features of proposed legis- , lation.
 . He thought the Ballinger bill . relating to the control of water power sites would interfere with the improvement of lands for the , development of power He de- clared. however, that there should be legislation for the con- trol of lands valuable for the development of water power so
 as to prevent monopolies.
 The same principle should ap-
 ply to coal lands. MT. Garfield
 said that conservationists gener-
 ally, recognized that the federal government had no authority to
 enact Jaws for the use of water,
 as that control is vested in the
 states.
 Most of the members of the
 committee declared that they were opposed to any bills de- signed merely to enable the gov-
 ernment to get every cent possi-
 ble out of water power sites and
 mineral lands. It is. asserted that
 the committee desires to make
 it easy and possible for indi-
 viduals to settle the public lands
 and no legislation would be favored for any purpose other
 than to prevent monopolies from
 gaining a foothold.
