New York, Jan 27.-Preliminary

stockholders in Anaconda, Montana,
March 20, to pass a proposal to in
crease the capital stock from $780,

The MadeIeine Sinks.

In Paris the situation became more
desperate momentarily as the day
progressed. At 4 p. m. the Rue Royale
between the Place de la Coneorde and
the Madeleine. the famous church
edifice, began 20 sink, and was hur-
riciy roped of. Several big assures
have occurred in the Javel region
The boulevard adjoining the Pont de
Bercy and the street in front of the
Louvre museum also began to cave
in.
West street. at the west OF the for
eign Office, is in imminent danger of
collapse, being sustained only by the
compressed air forced from the flood
ed subway, which runs underneath.
Should this fall the entire street must
cave in. The archives of the foreign

safe.
Although the river Marine was re-
ported stationary at Fretesous to the
east of Paris, the fIuyial navigation
department declares that the volume
of water rushing down from the
Yonne and other afluents of the
Seine above leaves no hope that the
high water mark will be reached be-
fore this morning. when the flood
is expected to reach maximum of
81 feet. or height greater than was
reported by the disastrous flood of
1902.
At the same time the department
admits confidentially that it is inn
possible to predict anything with ac-
curacy, as the whole of France is
still in the grip of an unprecedented
storm. RAIN snow and hail are fall
ing everywhere. the coasts are storm
bound and ships are fleeing to the
harbors for refuge.
