The Seine ceased to rise at 2:30 Saturday morn ing. Its tributaries are slowly falling. This bulletin, issued officially, spreading aver the darkened city by word of mouth faster than ever went message by the click of telegraph key, brought relief at the end of a day of greater suffering, more desperate fighting than any since the Inexorable river began to send Its waters through the streets of the city. Thousands have already gathered to pour forth thanksgiving for the word of hope. The danger is far from over, but the cry of "Will the end never come?" has been answered. Practically all hope had gone when the Seine gained its last inch and then stood still. Rain began In driving downpour and great cakes of ice, lib­ erated from above, swept down and choked the river at the city's bridges, spreading the flood over a quarter of the city. Hourly danger still threatens the city. The water has begun to fall in all of the affluents of the Seine above Paris, but the passage through the city Is clogged by bridges and an lm mense accumulation of drift, and the seething waters have spread over new areas. Choked underground rivers and sewers are bursting their confines and playing havoc with the street, swamp­ ing more cellars, and threatening more foundations of buildings. President Faliieres and Premier Brl- and drove in automobiles to the flood­ ed suburbs where distress is greatest, speaking words of comfort to the homeless and encouraging the soldiers and others engaged in salvage and res­ cue work. Nevertheless numerous pitiful In­ stances are cited of women and chil­ dren who had refused to leave their homes in the submerged districts, shrieking from their windows for bread. It Is difficult to present a mental picture of the geographical limits of the submerged area of Paris, but, roughly speaking. It is estimated that the surface Inundated from the Seine, which must not be confounded with the overflow in the back streets from burst sewers and subterranean rivers, covers about nine square miles, or one- quarter of the city. A commission of doctors was sum­ moned Thursday to perfect plans to avert what they fear will be an epi­ demic of plague when the waters sub­ side.

This dreadful burden has been borne into the great underground passages which underlie Paris, and with this situation the city will have a dread ac­ counting to make. All the military barracks and pub­ lic school buildings have been thrown open to the refugees. There are now 100,000 homeless people within the city limits and the problem of shelter­ ing and feeding them during the un­ usual conditions is one. which has taxed the government to its limit. The public subscription has reached $200,- 000, $1,400 of which was contributed by the American chamber of com­ merce.

Told to Get Men "Higher Up" and T**n prdsred to , •i 4^ He Sa/a. Washington.--When the BaSI!r.gcr- Plnchot inquiry was resumed Friday all the members of the investigating committee, together with Mr. Plhchot and his dismissed assistants of the forest service, were promptly on hand. Secretary Balllnger was not present. Attorney Brandels, representing Glavis, presented to the committee a long list of papers and documents to be introduced in evidence, and a list of witnesses to be summoned. The attorney said he also wanted to call attention to certain letters which showed the part Mr. Ballinger played as commissioner In directing the in­ quiry. His purpose in this, he said, was to indicate that President Taft and Attorney General Wickersham were mistaken when they reached the stated conclusion that Mr. Ballinger's participation In the matter had been "merely formal." Glavis told of a visit to Washington in December, 1907. when he took up with officials of the land office the subject of the claims. He told Mr. Schwartz that people In Seattle were Baying that there would be no further investigation of the claims In Alaska and that the patents would be granted. After his interview with Mr. Schwartz Glavis was conducted to Bal­ linger's office and as a result of his visit to Washington and the story he told was immediately placed in charge of all the Alaska cases. "What did you say to Commissioner Ballinger?" I told him I thought we could can­ cel all the Alaska claims; that a lot of well-known people had formed a pool and that the evidence would prove it." What did Ifr. Balllnger aay to you?" "He said a number of the claimants were friends and former business as­ sociates of his and that there had been a lot of talk that they would get their patents. " 'Now, Glavis,' he said to me, 'when you get back to Seattle, I want you to let it be publicly known that you have started this Investigation and that I want it to be thorough. No matter whom It hurts, you are to go right after them, whether they are friends of mine or not.* ** Glavis said he went back to work happy and satisfied that there was to be a thorough investigation and that he had worried unnecessarily about a scandal. Glavis declared that December IS, 1907, he had his interview with Com­ missioner Ballinger. January 7, 1908, less than a month after he had been directed to make the investigation, a letter was addressed to him by Mr. Ballinger stating that the Cunningham claims had been "clear-listed" from the investigating division for patent. January 22, 1908, Glavis sent a tele­ gram and letter protesting against the clear-listing of the claims and, they were withdrawn and sent back to the investigating division. #Wh, lADY1- CffiLymvs KILLED IN EXPLOSION IN COLORADO COAL MINE.

Little actual news of the battle is known, owing to the difficulty in tele­ graph transmission between Rama and Acoyapa. However, word from Es­ trada assures a provisional victory, al­ though it is believed from the tone of his messages that his losses are heavy. Gen. Chamorro has been wounded. He led a charge on a battery midway between Acoyapa and L>a Llbertad. The English gunners' fire worked havoc, but the guns finally were si­ lenced.

Managua, Nicaragua. -- President Madriz is displeased on account of the untrue report that Gen. Medina has been acquitted. He fears a mis­ understanding In the United States. The truth is that the tribunal of Masaya absolved the subordinates in the Cannon-Groce court-martial, while holding itself incompetent to try Medina. The supreme court of Mana­ gua must decide this technicality or try Medina itself. Medina is defending himself in the newspapers. He brands Zelaya a cow­ ard, trying to shift his own responsi­ bility. Medina says Zelaya twice con­ firmed the sentence and would have shot anybody disobeying the or­ ders. Madris is erecting military hospitals at Managua and Acoyapa in expectan­ cy of a combat. INDICT 11 FOR CONSPIRACY Chicago Officials and Others Are < Charged with Defrauding City Out of $254,000. Chicago.--Paul Redleske, former deputy commissioner of public works; Michael McGovern, contractor; Otto Neihof, his secretary; Richard Burke and John McNichols, inspectors for the city, were indicted by the grand Jury on charges of conspiracy to ob­ tain money by false pretenses and three other offenses in connection with the construction of the Lawrence avenue sewer.

There ts But Little Hope That Any Imprisoned Miners Will Escape Alive--Company Refuses Information. ^ V ' Col--A terrfftc exploalfiflar occurred at the Primero coal mine Monday. Three miners were killed outright and 75 otheirs are believed to be dead in the mine. These 75 men were entombed by the explosion while at work and there scorns hardly a chance that any of them escaped, although it is possible that a few may have gotten out on the other side of the mountain. The Colorado Fuel & Iron Com­ pany, which owns and operates the property, refuses to give out any in­ formation regarding the explosion, claiming that both its telephone and telegraph wires to Primero are down. It is claimed the company purposely removed the telephone apparatus at Primero, so that no news of the fccci- dent might leak out without being censored. The Colorado Fuel & Iron Company ordered a special train made up and rushed to the coal camp. Doctors, and nurses left on this train with „a large supply of medical supplies. The three men who were killed were near the mouth of the mine. The explosion was heard ten miles away and many thought an earth* quake had occurred. Primero is located 24 miles north­ west of Trinidad, ^tfhree years ago a disastrous explosion took place in the property, in which 21 miners were killed and many injured.

Paris.--With the recession of the waters of the Seine, Paris (s 'begin­ ning to feel the after effects of the flood. Monday the pavement on the corner of the Rue St. Lazare and the Rue Caumartin subsided several feet. A house collapsed on the Rue Le- courbe shortly after it had been evac­ uated by the tenants. On the Rue «Jes Entrepreneurs a huge gap was opened under the cellars of several houses and- the whole of the ground fldor of a house on the Impasse de l'Egllse Is undermined. Several fissures have opened in the Quai d'Orsay. Collapsing buildings and streets, however, are not the most serious problems confronting the authorities. Lawlessness and danger of pestilence have become the issues of the mo­ rn »nt. Ghouls are taking nclvantage of chaotic conditions to plunder bo'dly both In Paris and the provinces. Re­ ports tell of half a score of looters shot and killed by soldiers. The feeling against tbe Apaches was demonstrated tn various dramatic Instances of pursuit In rowboats. Bat­ tles between looters and pursuers were fought. Three Anaches were shot dead and two otfters hanged to lamn posts as a warning. The authorities are devoting aU ef­ forts to preventinp'a general enidemic as the floods subside. A hotife to house canvass is being made ar»d the people are warned riot to re occupy room which have been flooded until the quarters have been disinfected. As tbe deros'ts of mud left by the waters are removed from the bouses nuiekMme will be plentifully used »nd the floors and walls cleaned and white­ washed or painted. -- •• BEEF QUIZ MAKES PROGRESS Rumored indictments Against Foul* Packers Are About to Be Re­ ported by Grand Jury.

It was persistently runiored about the federal building Monday that in­ dictments against four of the big pack- era were about to be returnrd by the grand jury. District Attorney Sims re­ fused to deny or affirm this report. He said that he could not tell how soon something startling might de­ velop but the general air of confidence displayed by government officials would indicate that they are not in the least discouraged by the re-, suits of the investigation. 8hoots Wife, Kills Self.

Omaha, Neb., Feb 2.--Probably the most unusual feature of the excite­ ment that has been created by L. Ti Cooper's visit to this city is the re­ moval of parasites or tape worms by his preparations. During thq early past of Cooper's stay In Omaha individuals who were taking "New Discovery," as it is ^lled. brought either to himself or to physi­ cians throughout the city immense parasites that had left the system after using the medicine. Many of these people were fright­ ened, and cases of this sort became so numerous that Copper flnaUy made the following statement for public*, tion: He said: "In every city I visit these things are brought to me within a few days after my medicine is sold in the city. They are what is known as the tape-worn^ and grow to an enormous size. ' "Few, indeed^ realize how prevalent these creatures are. I think I have been the first to demonstrate what a large factor they are in the poor health of this generation. I believe that fully one-half of the chronic stomach trouble now so universal la caused by these parasites. "Individuals may hare them for years and not be aware of the reason for their continued ill-health, but at­ tribute it to many different diseases, when in reality one of these creatures is robbing them of their vitality. "These parasites are taken into tlMk system in uncooked food or raw meat, in the form of an egg, which hatches almost immediately. People suffering from them experience a feeling of lassitude and are extremely nervoua. The action of Cooper's 'New Discov­ ery' seems to be fatal to these great worms, and in most cases a few dosea of the medicine drives the creature* from the system. I will have hundreds of them brought to me before I leave the city." This grewsome prophecy has been amply verified, for not onl7 hundred# but thousands of Omaha people hare been relieved of some of these fearful parasites since taking Cooper's prep* aratlon, and the entire city has been aroused by the fact Some of these parasites are of such enormous size as to startle the Im­ agination. The statement of Father John Baptist Arnolls, one of the best known and best beloved priests in this section of the country verifies thiB. His statement, among others given to a reporter, was aB follows: "For years I suffered from what t thought was a general run-down con­ dition of the system caused by stom-. ach trouble. I felt extremely tired all the time, and it was a great effort to attend to my duties. I would wake up in the morning feeling as worn oat as when I went to bed. If I stood for any length of time I would have pain in the lower part of my back, ani4 would have to sit down. "I was very nervous find depressed in spirits, and was trout^d with dizsy - spells. I would see spots before my eyes when I stooped over and raised up quickly. I had a very irregular ap­ petite, and would have palpitation of the heart after ascending the stairs. * "The talk about Cooper's prepara­ tions was so universal that I decided to try some, although I do not take patent medicines as a rule. I took four doses of the 'New Discovery' at it is called, and a tape-worm about sixty feet in length left my system. "I am very thankful for this great relief, and now I know what has been the cause of all my suffering." The story of Father Arnolls Is a fair sample of the experience of an astonishing number of Omaha people, and Cooper's preparations are selling: here in immense quanth ^s. It is now estimated that he has sold one hun­ dred thousand bottles to date in this city alone, and the sale is still in» creasing. CALLOUS TO CRITICISM.
