The National Tribune has written to
all the Auditors of the Northern States
as to the amount that they We're dis
bursting for the relief of the veterans

eloquent as to the inadequacy of the
present pension laws and the burden
laid upon the several States by this IN
adequacy.
The Comptroller of the State of New
York writes as follows:

Gadsden, January 27.-(Special.) -Ap-
plicants for the job of census enumer-
ators may be scarce in other sections,
but that is certainly not the case here.
Chairman j. j. Moore of the local exam
lining board, in statement today, said
that there would be twice the number
take the examinations that could be given
employment in this district.
The sub-station of the local postoffice
that is to be operated at Twelfth street
and Forest avenue will be opened on
Tuesday of next week. J. A. Callan will
be the clerk in charge and will sell
stamps, issue money orders and register
letters and packages.
There is strong demand for the OPEN
ing of Bridge street, a short street run
ming from Broad to the new passenger
station. The street at one time was open
and in use by the city, viaduct lead
ing over the tracks OF the railroad. where
the new depot now stands. But the street
was abandoned years ago. and as 1t has
been closed the property has reverted to
the original owners. But as the opening
of the street would bring the station near
er to the residence section of the city 1t
is very probable that steps will be taken
TO reopen 1t at an early day.
Four hundred mon in this county have
paid back poll tax and qualified them
selves to vote in the coming primary who
could not vote at the last election. The
payments are coming in very rapidly now,
and 1t is not at all improbable that the
number will be increased by another 10
before the time for payment expires.

the following statement was given out by
DIT. Crumpton:
I'VE congratulate the temperance peo-

up to IL o'clock the river continued to
rise at the rate of three-Quarters OIL
an inch an hour.
Hope was given to the local authorities
by an early report that the Seine was
stationary at its upper reaches. Al Mel
TN, Nogent and Bray the maximum hood
was reached during the night. On the
other hand. the river Marine was re-
ported as still rising and a new and
higher food was racing down the Yonne
and the Grand NORM.
Perhaps the most alarming feature OF
the situation in the morning was the
assures at the Auteuil viaduct at the
foot of Paris. Should this give way
It would act as a dam and submerge
the entire city.
The valley of the Seine now presents
terrifying spectacle. The Hood is miles
wide for rs miles above, and the raging
torrent runs through the city at the rate
of 25 miles per hour. It Is flush with
the parapets at the bridges. where 1t Is
not actually overlooking them, turning
streets into muddy lagoons and choking
underground workings to the bursting
point. There are 100 miles of sewers
and two rivers, the Bievre and the Grange
Botel Betliere, under Paris. The latter
is running under the opera house, whose
combining walls are subjected to the pres
water. Wherever a break In masonry
occurs the streets cave in and the water
and refuse emerge. Thus dozens of
places a mile back from river streets
are flooded and the walls of adjoining
buildings have been rendered unsafe. In
many instances the police have forced
tenants to abandon their threatened
homes.
City Under Military.
Paris today resembles a beleaguered
city. The military commander in each
of the five sections into which the me-
tropolis has been divided holds his sol
diers in constant readiness for dispatch
to points of danger. The government
of the municipality has placed the mill
tary barracks and public school build
ings at the disposal of the refugees who
already number, 1t Is estimated, more
than 100000.
Fifteen thousand Iaborers of the city
are out of work and though subscriptions
are pouring in. 100000 having been raised
last night and of which $1400 was con-
tributed by the American Chamber OF
Commerce, the government today decided
to ask parliament for an additional credit
to be used in relief work.
