stage of the river at the Pont D'Auster
lltz to twenty-one feet and ten Inches,
ha* drained a large part of the flooded
section and traffic throughout the
city, except la the subways. Is almost
normal.
It la doubtful If Paris, world
famed for Its beauty, ever before pre
sented such a dirty appearance. Not
only are the street* broken and lit
tered, but huge piles of flood refuse,
foul and menacing to health, stand
in many parts of the city and every
house that was attacked "by the water
shows the height the water reached
by the muddy stains.
Some of the beautiful stone and
marble buildings In the fashionable
sections, will have to be treated with
sand-blasts before the marks of the
flood can be effaced.
Thousands of men, thrown out of
employment by the flood, were put
to work to-day at street and sewer
repairing.
The improvement In the suburbs
Is not nearly so marked as In Paris,
owing to the fact that a large per.
rent of the po>ulajt}oH of the suburb#
flocked Into Paris and has not yet
returned.
Arrangements arv now being made
to establish free food depots In these
suburbs *o that the victims may re
turn home without the danger of
starvation.

SPORTING END TO
SOUTH POLE QUEST
American and English Expedi
tions Race for Honor of
Discovery.
LONDON. Fab. 3.—Britishers are
to-day .enthusiastic over the prospect
of a race to the South Pole between
American and British expeditions.
News that the American National
Geographical Society and the Peary
Arctic Club will In all probability co
operate has already caused many sub
scriptions to the fund that Is being
raised to send Captain Scott on his
Antarctic trip.
The Britishers enjoy the injection
»f a sporting element, such as the
race with the American expedition.
Should the American expedition
start In the fall, as Indicated by
Commander Peary, it Is believed here
that the American and Bcott expe
ditions should, provided everything
goes yell, reach the South Pole very
close together. In the latter part or
December, 1911.
The English people have their
hearts set on capturing this greatest
remaining honor in the world of ex
ploration. and should the American
expedition arrive at the Southern end
of the world ahead of Captain Scott,
the nation will suffer one of its
greatest disappointments.

(Special to The Richmond Virginian.)
NEWPORT NEWS. VA.. Feb, 3.—
i The meeting: of the Common Council
wm characterized by a very warm dls
; cuaalon of the public school question.
The discussion began when the ap
I proprlatlon of $10,006 on account of
[ the «‘ho»l fund defielt was brought
up. President I). 8. Jones, of the
Council, declared that Superintendent
of Schools Willis A. Jenkins was an
expensive luxury. Several other mem
bers Joined In sharp criticism of the
superintendent and the School Board,
and at one time It seemed that the
Kiihcittl nnn rnnrloHnn tatvnrH
licit would not be passed. After
threshing the situation out and de
claring that no further special sums
would he set aside for sennol pur
poses. the Council finally voted the
appropriation, the president ..f tne
body, 11, 8. Jones, voting against the
measure.

In accordance with a message from
the Mayor . relative to the condition
of the city j*tl, the Committee on
buildings and Grounds was directed
* to ascertain the necessities of the stt
1 uation and report bac)< to the Coun
' ell the cost of making the needed
additions to the present quarters.
A resolution Introduced by Coun
cilman Cox in the interest of a bond
issue for the new High School build
ing was referred to the Finance Com
mittee. It Is generally believed that
I the matter will die in committee,
there being strong opposition to
bonding the city for any increased
sum at this time.
.Notice Not Sufficient.
On the ground that notice in an

I chairman of a hoard of supervisors

KING WOULD KEEP
SWEDES AT HOME'
l
1 Strong Effort is Being Made to
End Emigration to the
United States.
STOCKHOLM. Feb. 3.—In an effort
to check emigration from Sweden
King Gustav has just approved a plan
ifor a series of national plays In Swed
ish theaters to awaken a more pa
! trlotlc feeling among the people. The
i enterprise will be pushed with espe
! cial vigor at Gottenburg, where most
emigrants bound for America embark.
The King says that emigration has :
1 for years drained Sweden of a large
proportion of its best and most en
i terprlsing blood. The recent general
i strike, which ended with many high
1 class workingmen out of positions,
and still a larger number dissatisfied
with labor conditions in Sweden, has
i given a decided Impetus to emlgra
i tlon.
As a supplement to the theater plan,
j the King has engaged the Arctic ex
plorer, Nordenskjold, to tour the coun
i try, lecturing on national subjects to
. keep the Swedes at home.

CHICAGO. Feb. 3.—Farmers around i
i Elgin and Aurora, who threaten to
; begin damage suits because the flash
. and roar of trolley cars that rush
j past tlietr dairies "give their cows In- ,
| somnla” and Induce nervous prostra
; tlon, are trying to “put something
; over" on the trolley companies, ac- '
' cording to the declaration to-day of ,
' S. B. Shilling, one of the greatest au
I thorlttes on bovine subjects In the
world.
"Cows," said Shilling to-day, “are
singularly cool and collected animals. ,
Poets, you will remember, speak of
j them as ‘the calm-eyed kine.’ I don’t
1 think a trolley car could upset the
| equilibrium of the modern cow. 1
i doubt If they would take the least In
terest in trolley cars, even If there ,
i were a wreck just outside the dairy
I door.”

cess 1h manifested by Ideal commission
men, who say that the Michigan cab
batte, which la an extensive crop in
this part of the State, is threatened by
the Virginia product. They declare
that Virginia Is raising cabbages for
the frst time extensively, and that
the industry has developed there so
rapidly as to cut off the eastern de
mand for Michigan and Wisconsin cab
bage, which Is marketed principally
In that, part of the country.
Only about $00 carloads were shipped
out of Baglnaw this season, although
the crop was one of the largest bn
record, and should, they say, have
yielded much heavier shipments.
There was a heavy slump in the
price, too, the highest paid this rear
to farmers being *5.75 a ton, while
last year growers realised $20.
