LOUISVILLE, KY, March 9.-Although
the Ohio river is falling here tonight. the
danger of food of considerable proper
tions is not yet averted, and 1T is probable
that stage Of thirty or thirty-two feet, or
two feet above the danger line, will be
reached here before the rise runs its course.
The fall began shortly after noon to-day,
but the rate of recession was only one
tenth of an inch an hour. 1t is probable
this fall will continue tomorrow, and that
by Wednesday night or Thursday morning
another rise will reach here, which will
bring the river up to the highest point of
the season. According TO the statement is
sued tonight by Major Hearsey. of the To-
cal branch of the weather bureau, the out
look is not encouraging. Up TO the present
time the damage has been slight. At Z
o'clock tonight the gauge was 2S.2 feet

CINCINNATI, March S.-Contrary to ex-

Saturday and Sunday night the Ohio river
began falling again Sunday night and was
still falling to-day at the rate of a tenth of
a foot an hour. Bassier, the forecast Official
says: THE Ohio Is rising from Pittsburg

other tributary streams are rising. More
rain IL expected. and Ii Is impossible to
predict the total amount Of rise anywhere
The Indianapolis journal., 1903-03-10

NEW ORLEANS, March 9.-The official
river gauge to-day marked ISL, rise of
half foot in the past twenty-four hours.
This is still nearly foot and a half under
the record of 1897. The levee forces are
quietly at work strengthening the front in
anticipation OF the flood promised by the
Weather Bureau. AS there has been vast
Improvement in the levee system since 1897
there is little apprehension. Heretofore
the river has never reached its present
stage without a break somewhere in
Louisiana and Mississippi and the absence
of crevasses is taken as evidence of the
marked Improvement in the leyee system.
Old river men say that the current passing
here is unusually strong. If the levees
hold this will expedite the discharge OF
the flood and reduce materially the period
of high water. Planters have placed
forces in front throughout Louisiana watch
ing the embankments.

HAVOC OF THE FLOODS.

CCONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE)
Government boats are patrolling the river
and men foot are patrolling the en-
bankments, watching for suspicious or
threatening developments of any character
There is little anticipation of serious
trouble until the water reaches 81 feet.
Reports from points further down the
river show that much uneasiness and con-
siderable damage is being caused by the
flood in tine South. At Baton Rouge La
the river reached 34.3 feet this evening a
rise Of two-tenths foot in the past twenty
four hours. This is within fraction of
six feet of the highest water of 1897 The
water is some inches above the base of the
levees on Trout street in that city. Dis
couraging reports also have been received
from Vicksburg and Natchez.
The Indianapolis journal., 1903-03-10

NATCHEZ, Miss, March 9.-Anxiety here
is at strong tension through fear that the
levees may not be allowed to show their
strength, as 1t is possible a cut at some
place will be made to save property on the
other side of the river. This danger is as
much a source of apprehension as is the
high stage of the river, and the water
which is yet to come. The Mississippi at
this point is 21 feet above the danger line
and is rising. Heavy rains are of daily oc-
currence The ground is water-soaked, and
all of the water is going into the river.
