AREA ENLARGING. The victims of the flood number more tfaaa a hundred thousand, and the mone tary ln?s is incaJculable. Thousands of roer people are hopelessly ruined and are fleeing to Paris. The government by urgent measures has requisitioned army iid navy material to house the suffer ers ar>d boats for the rescue of the Btrfcken. as well as those imprisoned in the houses m the flood centres on all Eides of Paris. The region of inundation is steadily . csJa3ing , ■it**- viJUijeres in "«cor«»<««f riaccs -are completely submerged, the people fleeing for their lives and aban doning everything. In many cases the loiciiers have been obliged to use force '■ compelling the inhabitants to evacu ate Their homes. Hundreds of them re fused to leave, clamoring only for food and water. In Paris the situation is rapidly becom ing worse. The flood is insidiously in vading the compactly lilt area on either fide of the winding Seine, undermining th* 5 residences and public buildings and forcing the evacuation of many houses. All the streets in one arrondissement in the southeastern section are running rivers. Every hour helps to complete the tie-up of th«= telephone, telegraph and railroads. The subway and tram services arp diminishing, and in every section gas and "l-crnc light are failing. Paris is practically cut off south and ■west, and if the ■ resent conditions con tinue the question of food supplies will become menacing. The Senate yesterday unanimously adopted an appropriation of $400,000 for national relief, and various societies are sending out calls for aid. The public fund for this purpose is President Fallieres heads the list with $4,000. Th« Rothschilds have «iveii $20,000. the Bank of France $10,000 •ad the Eanque de Paris et dcs Pays- EaS, $10,000. RESCUES BY BOAT. The entire population of Ivry-sur- S°in" and adjacent places, which are completely covrfd with water, are in a 'iesp*-rat» state. Only the tops of the houses at Alfortville are visible, the water averaging twelve feet in the streets At this place, since I o'clock yesterday teorning. three thousand persona have been rescued by boats, and thirty thou sand oth^r? from this section have found safety by their own efforts. In many *°jnu along the rivers the houses are Elapsing, and the wreckage is whirled f -fi In the " .im. The rescue work at Alfortville was hampered last night by lack of light. Th*rp were weird scenes as the boats, aided now and then by the glare of a Karchlight, were rowed here and there, flwpondlng »o calls for help. Sut the rescuers had more to contend *ith than the turbulent waters. Groups c * Apaches had gathered and soon were In the work of piracy.

[From The Tribun.- Burr.iv. Washington. Jan. '27*. — While those reg ulars in the House who place their wishes for the success of the Republican party above their desire to gratify Mr. Cannon still hope that the Speaker will soon announce his withdrawal from the field, preparations are being made to eliminate him from the present danger ous situation, if necessar> . by compul sion. Each day the ranks of those who ad mit that 'Tanivinism" and the high cost of living arc th° only two Issues which the Republicans need fear in the next campaign are increasing. To-daj . for the first time, definite plans for the re moval of the former issue were discussed by regular Republicans. Several plans are talked of, which may not be carried out for some weeks, but it Is practically assured that before the close of the pres ent <"ongress a great number of Repub licans will put themselves on record as opposed to Mr. Cannon's re-election to his present positior PLAN TO CALL CA.UCCB. Those who are taking an active part in the discussion are Representatives Foster, of Vermont; J. Hampton Moore, of Pennsylvania, and Goebel. of Ohio. They had a long conference to-day with Representatives Hayes, the insurgent leader, and members of the Ohio dele gation, who are anxious that a caucus be called for the purpose of taking up the President's legislative programme. In talking with Representative Goebel Mr. Hayes declared his willingness to enter a Republican caucus for th«> pur pose of giving impetus to the President's recommendations, and said that in his opinion the other insurgents would be equally willing. The question of "Cannonism" was then taken up and a caucus devoted to that question was discussed, with the result that within an hour a dozen regulars opposed to the re-election of the Speaker had been consulted and declared that they would support any reasonable prop osition which would not reflect on the personality of the Speaker, but would at the same time place the Republican party on record as opposed to his re election. The plan now talked of is to call a caucus within a few weeks, or when a majority of the Republicans in the House have approved th* idea, to make some minor changes in the rules and in suni£ dipioxpa.titL-naa.niaer lo pot the ea.u- B record as opposed to Speaker Cannon's re-election. Several of the reg ulars to-day made the prediction that a majority of the Republicans were now ready to take some such action, but that it might require several weeks of per suasion before they would be willing to enter such a caucus. The plan will be prepared by regulars, and the insurgents will be merely auxil iaries. If they are content to remain in this position it is predicted that the de nred end can be accomplished, but what the advocates of the plan now fear is that the more radical of the insurgents will insist on such measures that timid rpp;.:ars will refuse to keep them com pany. AX ANTI-< - ANNON LIST. One of the regulars who is active in the movement to have the sentiment of the anti-Cannon men recorded gave the Tribune correspondent the following list of men whom he counted to support any reasonable step in that direction: Rep resentatives Ames, Anthony. Barclay, Harnard, Bennet. Bradley. Cassidy. Cocks. cole, Coudrey. Crumpacker. Davidson. Diekema. Douglass. Driscoll, Esch. Fish. Focht, Foster. Gillet, Hamer, Hamilton.

No definite decisions have been reached by the leaders in this movement, and it is probable that some days will • lapse before any definite announcement ( an be mad It is acknowledged, how ever; that a great number of Repub licans feel that something will have to be done before the adjournment of Con gress Ui place the majority on record and to remove the "Cannonism" issu<-.

The police say the ex plosion was the work of the Black Hand. At about 8 o'clock people passing in the street were startled by the explosion, and the next minute the excited tenants poured out. causing such a disturbance that the reserves from the Charles street station were called out. The force of the explosion wrecked the stone and iron stairways and landings in the tenements and hurled the street door across the street.

Coring Jan. 251'— what is said to be the first time in the medical history of this country, electrical anal gesia was used in operating on a human teing to-day. The operation was before about twenty-five prominent surgeons of this city, and was supervised by Dr. Louise Rabir.ovitch, who for fifteen years has been perfecting her methods of elec trical analgesia. The subject was John Orosie, twenty five years old, four of his toes being am putated. Under the direction of E">r. Rabioovitch Dr. M. If. Johnson, of this city, applied the electric current of four milliamperes and fifty-four volts by means of three » lectrodes, one at the ankle, another at the Bhinbone and the third at the groin. The operation was a complete success, the patient feeling no pain and no after effects. The preat toe was taken from the left foot and three to«*s from the right foot. The operation was made necessary be cause Crosic had all the toes on both feet frozen several weeks ago and gangrene was setting in. The young man felt no pfcin and continued talking to the doc tors, telling his side of the experience. Last night at the Hartford Medical Society's • lubrooms Dr. Rabinovitch demonstrated the possibilities of her dis on a rabbit, which she subjected to the electrical analgesia, and, after cutting; the spinal <ord sewed up the wound, permitting the rabbit to hop freely about the room, as though nothing had h:ipp f 'n"'i It is understood that the apparatus will be sent to Philadelphia to be used in the Genera!

President Calms Business Seas, Troubled bjf Unfounded Assertions. [From The Tribune Bureau.] Washington, Jan. 25. — The President found it necessary to make public at the White House to-day a statement setting forth his position with regard to trust prosecutions, and declaring that "sen sational statements as if there were to be a new departure and an indiscrimi nate prosecution of important industries have no foundation." This declaration of purpose was made necessary in the estimation of the Chief Executive by certain exaggerations of his recent dec larations that there will be entire con tinuity of policy in this administration in dealing with the trusts. The statement given out at the White House to-day is as follows: No statement was issued, either from the Attorney General's office or the White House indicating that the pur pose of the administration with refer ence to prosecutions under the anti trust law is other than as -set .forth In the message of the President of January T. 1910. Sensational statements as if there were to be a new departure and an indiscriminate prosecution of im portant industries have no foundation. The purpose of the administration is exactly as already stated in the Presi dent's message The statement was issued after the President had talked with James J Hill and had received information that prices were crumbling in New York under va rious report? printed yesterday and this morning. Mr. Hill on leaving the White House said he did not pretend to repre sent or speak for the President in any thing he said, but he was sure that the President would not attack corporations of themselves, but the sins of the cor porations. If corporations were violat ing the laws of the country he supposed they would he brought to book. HILL'S VISIT A COINCIDENCE. Mr. Hill's visit to the White House. which preceded the issuance of the state ment, was. it was said later in the day. merely a coincidence. Mr. Hill declared that he had discussed "general condi tions" with the President and had not gone into the subject of the prosecution of the trusts. "Normally conditions are satisfactory in all directions." said Mr. Hill, "but we don't want a lot of wild stories to get abroad that will cause depression." Mr Hill did not want to discuss the President's recommendations as to rail road legislation, saying it was too im portant a subject to take up "offhand." "But we do need the rest cure badly." he said, adding that the country should have full time to recover from the panic of 1!M»7. He thought that three or four months of rest from agitation would do a lot of good. In his special message on interstate commerce and anti-trust laws President Taft, in connection with a recommenda tion for a federal incorporation act, said: It is the duty and the purpose of the Executive to direct an investigation by the Department of Justice through the grand jury or otherwise, into the history, organi zation and purposes of all industrial com panies with respect to which there la any reasonable ground for suspicion that they have beep organized for a • purpose and are conducting business on a plan which is in violation of the anti-trust law. The work is a heavy one, but It is not beyond the power of the Department of Justice if sufficient funds are furnished to carry on the Investigations and to pay the counsel png-aged in the work. But such an Investigation and possible prosecution of. corporations whose pros perity or destruction affects the comfort not only of stockholders but of millions of wape earners, employes and associated tradesmen, must necessarily tend to dis turb the confidence of the business com munity, to dry up the now flowing sources of capital from its place, of, hoarding and produce a halt in our present prosperity that will cause suffering and strained cir cumstances among the innocent many for the faults of the guilty few. The question which I wish in this message to bring clearly to the consideration and discussion of Congress I? whether, in order to avoid Huoh a possible business dancer, some thing cannot he done Jby which the busi ness combinations may be offered a means without great financial disturbance, of changing the coaracter, organization and extent of their business into one within the liner of the law under federal control ami supervision, securing compliance with the anti-trust statutes.

Slater late last night tor the three com panies comprising the Columbus and Hocking Coal and Iron group interests. A. L. Thurman. of Columbus, and Will iam A. Barbour, of Xew York, wave named receivers for the Columbus and Hocking «'oal and Iron Company; A. T. Seymour, of Columbus, receiver for the Columbus and Hocking Clay Construc tion Company, and F. N". Sinks, of Co lumbus, receiver for the Columbus and Hocking Brick Manufacturing Company. The bond of the first pair of receiver was fixed at $60,000. that of Seymour at $25,000 and that of Sinks at $35,000. The bonds were furnished by a surety com pany and the receivers will take charge at once. The appointments were made upon the application of Henry D. Hotchkiss, of !Cew York, receiver in bankruptcy for Lathrop. Haskins <* Co.. of New York, for the first named receivership. The Columbus and Hocking Coal and Iron Company applied for receivers for the other two companies. The stock of these companies is heid by the same in terests as control the Columbus and Hocking Coal and Iron Company. In the applications it was represented to the court that the companies were threatened with suits and attachments: that if these were pressed the assets would be dissipated and creditors would suffer. To preserve the assets it was declared* the receivers were necessary. No allega tion? of insolvency were made. Attorneys stated that the troubles of the companies were brought about by the failure las! week following a 60 point change in the stock in the New York market of one of the creditors. Lathrop, Haskins & Co. TO SUE THE POOL. Losers Will Seek to Fix Re sponsibility for Orders. Papers are being prepared, it was learned yesterday, in an action which Is to be brought against the members of the Columbus and Hocking Coal and Imn pool by customers of several Stock Exchange houses not connected with the pool, for whom George W. Harper, jr.. of No. lln Broadway, is attorney, and it is expected that the complaint will be filed to-day. A considerable number of customers of commission houses were long of Columbus and Hocking, among them the complainants in the proposed action. On the morning of the collapse of the pooi the stock of the complainants was sold, the buyer being the specialist in Columbus and Hocking. Hugh F. Criss. whose own firm on the following day went into a receivership as a conse quence of the repudiation by members of the pool of purchases of the stock made by him for their account, as he supposed, since the buying orders had been given to him on the floor of the ex change by the pool manager. Henry S. Haskins, of Lathrop, Haskins & Co. The basis of the action of the com- I'iainants is the theory that the pool agreement is in essence a contract, under which all of the parties to the agreement are jointly and severally nable for losses, as In a copartnership, and on that theory the contemplated ac tion will allege breach of contract, the complainants, who suffered serious losses through the failure of pool members to confirm the purchases for their account through Mr. Criss of the* complalnaints 1 stock, seeking to establiali the validity of Mr. Ciiss's status a.s the supposed agent of the pool. NEW POOL COMES TO LIGHT. It developed yesterday that the pool the operations of which Mr. Haskins di rected on the day of the crash was not that originally formed on March 1, 1000. and extended on September 1 until March 1 of that year, but one which was formed on June 1. 1009, under an agree ment operative until March I, 10 10.

Jan. 25.— Insanity of the •'brainstorm type" was the defence ad vanced on behalf of Lieutenant Adoiph Lansrhoret. of the e«ast artillery, who was piaced on trial before a court-mar tial at Fort MeHenry to-day. He is charged specifically with neglect of duty, breach of arrest and disobedience of or ders. "Guilty without criminal in. ant." was the plea he entered. This was followed by a statement of his counsel to the ef fect that Lieutenant Langhorst. although perfectly sane at the present time, had suffered one of the sudden fits of insan ity dubbed "brainstorms' at the Thaw trial, and that he was suffering from this kind of insanity at the time he com mitted the deeds complained of. There fore, it was argued, he was not respon sible. BABY DIES IN FIRE. Cousin, Trying to Save It. Falls Down Blazing Stairs. Burdened with the weight of her three year-old cousin, Lena Labarbera stum bled down the flame filled stairway of a tenement house at No. 14"0 Second ave nue last evening, trying to reach the street. At the first floor she stumbled, dropped the child and fell through the burning banister to the ground floor. Unable to understand her frantic Italian cries, the firemen carried her out and Dr. McDonald hurried her to the Presby terian Hospital, terribly burned. It was not until a search of the building was made after the fire was put out that the body of the child was found. The same death trap, an S-shaped hali way at the top of the first flight, made when the building was partly remod elled, nearly took the life of Captain Eugene McLoughlin. of Engine Company 44. who lost his way in the dark and fell to the ground floor, receiving painful bruises.

The Unionists gained nine division* from Cumberland to Sussex and from Essex to Wiltshire. Even so popular a turfman as Sir Charles D.

The Unionist victories included mid-Tyrone, where th« Nationalist vote was split between two candidates.
