Paris. Feb. 1.-THE height of the
water at midnight was q feet and
3 inches, fall of nearly four feet
from the highest point, and the flood
continues to drop at the rate OF
about three quarters of an inch per
hour.
Premier BRAND has instructed the
projects to make a complete inven-
tory of the flooded areas and to ap-
praise the Individual losses, after
which parliament will be asked for
new credits in connection with the
measures of relief.
Soldiers are still guarding many
of the public buildings and strong
detachments have been sent to the
various outlying districts to prevent
the wholesale pillage which is still
going on. A boat patrol surprised a
band of apaches robbing a villa to-
night at Boulogne Sur Seine. Two
Of the Apaches were killed and others
were captured.
One of the most hopeful features
of the situation is the action of the
government in carrying into effect
measures to enable the small pro-
prietors both in Paris and through
out the flooded districts of France to
re-establish themselves by means of
loans, and to furnish work for the
victims. The city council, followed
the lead of the National government
is arranging, with the cooperation of
the savings institutions, to furnish
money for the rebuilding of stores
and houses and the re-furnishing of
supplies.
The government has decided upon
a general scheme of employment
whereby those who desire work may
find it in repairing the roads and
the public buildings throughout the
devastated territory.

declared that the bill as it stood, was
in the interest of the National banks,
while Senator Smith of Michigan
thought the measure might prove
