New Floods Are Feared.
In view of the probability of new
floods within the next three or four
months the municipal council of Paris
has taken up the question OF defense
OF the city, and has ordered a supply
of material for barriers of comment
and wood. also boats and tents for the
life-savers and troops which may be
called out. A commission of twelve
members, especially named to deal
with the flood danger, will be ap-
pointed under the presidency of Alfred
Picard former Minister of Marine.
Meanwhile the upper Seine, as we'll
as Its tributaries, Is rising with alarm
ing rapidity, owing to ceaseless rains.
The River Marine has risen nearly six
feet. and Is still rising and overflow
ing. Within the limits of Paris the
Seine is steadily rising. AT the Aus
terlitz Bridge the river presents the
same appearance as during the earlier
stages of the great foods last winter.
and the authorities predict general
flood for Sunday. basing the predic-
ton on the abnormal quantity of
water pouring into the upper reaches
of the Seine and Marine.
NJ. Lepine, the Project of Police. to-
| day ordered the inspectors of river
navigation to empty the lower parts
| of the Seine, these measures being
| necessary as the water has already
| begun to overflow into the fifteenth
| and sixteenth wards, where the floods
| OF last January caused the greatest
| damage. Warnings have been sent
| to all the riverside suburbs which
were inundated last January and con-
sternation reigns at Ivry, Maisons Al
fort and Alfortville.
