Grating but the Seine is still rising,
and Paris is like a doomed city,
holding its breath in terror. Half
the city is in darkness. In the
gloom can be seen galloping order
lies bearing instructions that can
no longer be sent by telephone.
The army of police, firemen and
soldiers give the appearance of the
city fighting for life. Every min
ute brings graver dangers. New
areas are being inundated, quays
are collapsing and yawning chasms
appear in the streets. Water from
5ths Seine has invaded the entire
labyrinth of underground Paris,
which threaten ruin and destruction
everywhere What new disasters
can come to the water logged city
before the Seine begins to fall no
one can predict.
Already the damage is officially
estimated at 5000, 100000. Every
hour adds millions more. The
catastrophe promises to exceed the
limits of national disasters, and be-

has added to the horror of the
people. Late dispatches from the
provinces indicate the situation to
be improved, and that the floods
have reached the limit. The Rhine
and Sarner rivers are still rising.
Reports that villages are SUBJ
merged, and that people are abso-

Paris constantly Saint Laure is
flooded and the people are without

At Sevres the famous government

water.
At o'clock this morning the
Dorsai railway station collapsed
under pressure of the vast volume
of water that poured under the

the blocks of wood along like

Denny Noonan, a miner employe |
at the Belmont narrowly escaped
death early this morning when he
was struck by a runaway car while
climbing an incline, preparatory to
coming off shift. Noonan was eni-

loosed from it's fastenings anil
crashed to the bottom. Noonan was
struck by the car on the leg and

The death roll is still growing at
a frightful rate and when the epi-
demic, which now appears inevita-

Among the superstitions there is
talk that the destruction of Paris
is the result of the approach Of
Halley's comet. Thousands of la
borers and soldiers are working
like mad building walls to hold
back the current that pours over
the quays into the streets. There
is ten feet of water in the subway
station in front of Care st. Lazare,
and the sinking square threatens
to carry down the adjacent build
ings. A bulletin says the water at
Pont Royale will reach the thirty
foot mark tomorrow morning. The
prospect of the immediate future
is serious and it is estimated the
Seine tonight and tomorrow will
rise from two to three feet.

PUBLISHERS SAY
POSTAL DEFICIT

BY Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Jan, 26.--An err
ror of sixty millions is charged by
the Association of American Mag
azine Publishers against the post
office department in the latter's
figures on the deficit of carrying
second class mail matter This,
and other mistakes, are alleged in
the departments figures upon which
it was proposed to raise the rate of
mails. According to the publish
ers' statement there is not a de-
felt in the postal department of
seventeen millions, as the depart
ment alleges, but there is actually
surplus of more than ten mill
lions, when the specific loss from
rural free delivery is taken into
consideration.

heat made the fire fighting rather
hazardous and 1t was with diff
Guilty that the volunteers succeeded
in rolling barrels of oil and carry
ing tins of distillate away from the
path of the flames. While any num-
ber had their clothing burned or
scOrched, not an accident was re-

been conquered. The loss is re-

machine shops where several costly
pieces of machinery were located.
The loss is covered by insurance.
The oil tank that exploded was
heated with electricity and the
cause is ascribed to gases forming
or short circuit.
Earlier In the day a $4,000 loss
resulted from fire that started
in Curtin's paint shop on Broad

GRAIN WILL BE
PROVIDED FOR QUAIL

RENO, Jan. 26.-Report having
reached this city that large num-
bers of quail were perishing in the
mountains for want of food, and
that if some means could be de-
vised to furnish wheat for the
birds, the ranchers in the vicinity
of the mountains were ready to
distribute it where needed by the
starving, snowbound quail, the Ne
vada Fish and Game Protective as
sociation and the State Fish and
Game board have taken the matter
in hand.
A meeting of some of the mem
bers of these two bodies resulted
last night in an action whereby
any applications for wheat for this
purpose will be promptly granted
by the association, in hopes that
those who can will quickly secure
sufficient quantities of this grain
and distribute it to the quail and
thus relieve the situation.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The in
dictment against the Press Publish
ing company, publishers of the New
York World charging Joseph Pulit-
zer and others with criminal libel,
against Roosevelt, Taft and Others
was quashed today in the United
States district court. Judge Hough
ruled the statutes on which the
indictments rested were not suffi-
cient in authority, or, in other
words, that the court had no juris-
diction. Delaney Nicoll counsel
for the defendants interpreted the
decision as signal victory for the
freedom of the press. 1t is a gen.
eral opinion among lawyers that
the collapse of the governments
case marks the end of further

GOLDFIELD, Jan. 26.-This city
today was visited with two rather
costly fires and for the prompt and
efficient work of the volunteer and
paid fire departments the losses
would have reached enormous sums.
The second and most serious con-
fagration occurred at the Goldfield
Consolidated mill tonight when an
oil tank, containing 800 barrels of
oil exploded, scattering the burn
ing oil in all directions. The flames
spread to the machine shops, car
penter shop and blacksmith shop,
all of which were totally destroyed.
The big mill stands within twenty
five feet of the machine shop but
no danger was felt owing to the
plant being a steel structure and
the stamps kept dropping through
the excitement. Some twenty or

from the machine shops. a tank
containing 500 gallons of gasoline
