Higher and Higher

Paris, Jan. 2s-Slowly the swollen
waters oil the Seine. which reached
their high mark at o'clock this
morning, were subsiding and at mid
night the fall measured four and a
half inches-enough to bring a sense
OF relief to the desolated and dis
tTacted city
The danger of some great calam-
lty, such as has been predicted, now
seems over, although the situation
continues critical. particularly near
the St LaZare station. where the en-
tire streets and solid blocks of build
ings threaten 70 sink through the
crust into the waters beneath. The
effect of the removal of the water
pressure has been to weaken founda-
tions generally, and this causes the
greatest anxiety. Besides. there VIII
be thousands Of acres to be cleared
or repaired when the water has re-
ceded. and there Is also the POSSIBLE
ity oil an epidemic
II Is believed that the breaking of
the dam at Gennevilliers appreci-
ably has hastened the climax by re-
leasing an immense amount of water.

Dispatches from provinces indicate

CLAWS asserted Mr.. Ballinger had
suggested TO him not to pursue an In

much OF that sort OF thing in the past.

in league to do wrong In the Alaska

OF John Contos last April. he was jus
tilted In so doing, Vacos will be dis
charged by the court and will begin
life anew.
Should the jury. however, deter
mine that Vacos deliberately sought
out and murdered his countryman
without sufficient cause. he will be
compelled under the laws of this state
TO pay the penalty for his crime by
being legally executed either by hang
ing or by being shot to death by Of

there are some extenuating circum-
stances in the case the prisoners
