When the democrats applauded this last statement and laughed in deris ion. Mr. Boutell sharply rebuked them. "Why is it," he asked, "that the iip'mnrrflts alwavs aDnlaud -any tale of misfortune or prediction of adversity?" J The republicans , laughed and ap plauded and the democrats lapsed into silence.

Floors of Many fine Buildings Are Caving in A nd T ho u sands Homeless Home of Pres. Filled With Water By Associated Press. Paris, Jan. 27. Paris today resem bles a beleaguered city. The milt tary commander in each of the' five sections into which the metropolis has been divided holds his soldiers in con stant readiness for dispatch to points ui uauger. The government of the municipality has placed the military barracks and public school buildings at the disposal of the refugees, who already number, it is estimated, more than 100,000. . Fifteen thousand laborers of the city are out of work, and though subscrip tions are pouring in, $200,000 having t been raised last night, and of which ?i,400 was contributed by the Ameri can chambr of commerce, the govern ment today decided to ask parliament for an additional credit to be used in relief work. Every minute today brought a new tale of disaster. v At 8 o'clock the. vault of the Orleans railway tunnel gave way at the Rue Git Lecoeur. Another bad cave-in occurred in the Ruei Lille, flooding the quarters of the German embassy. The buildings of the foreign office were surrounded I by water this morning and abandoned. The main drain under the Champs de Mars broke during the forenoon and the blanket of water, extended back to Invalides, where repose the bones of Napoleon., . The region in the neighborhood of the law courts and the prefecture of police were , flooded and chairs affT tables were tf sifting' & bout. The wa ters invaded the court of St. Chp)te, the most glorious gem-of Gothic archi-' tecture in France and the lower floor of the" historic Conciergie was flood ed. The stage of the waters this morn ing exceeded all records back to 1615, and up to .12 o'clock the river continued to rise at the rate of 3-4 inch an hour. Perhaps the most alarming feature of the situation in the morning was the fissure at the Autueil viaduct at the foot of Paris. Should this give way it would act as a dam and sut merge the entire city. ' The valley of the Seine now pre sents' a terrifying spectacle. The flood is miles wide for twenty-five miles above, and the raging torrent rims through the city at the rate of 2b miles an hour. It is flush with the parapets at the bridges where it is not actually overflowing them, turning streets into muddy lagoons and choK irig underground ' workings to tfte bursting point. There are 700 miles of sewers and two- rivers, the Bievre and the Grange Botel Belliere, under Paris. The latter is running under, the onera house, whose confining walls are subjected to the presure ot thousands of cubic yards of water Wherever a break in masonry oc- i curs the streets cave in and the wa ter and refuse emerge. Thus dozens of places a mile back from the river, streets are flooded and the walls or adjoining buildings have been render ed unsafe. In many instances the po lice have forced tenants to abandon their threatened homes. River Rising. - The subsidence at noon -continued for thirty minutes, amounting to three quarters' of an -inch. Later it was claimed that the fall was due to the rapid overflow into the Bery quarter from points where the Seine had broken its barriers. Experts, ; said that the river was still rising this af ternoon, but that the niaxium flood should be reached at 3 o'clock. The Bercy quarter has been abandoned by the residents.
