Work-Factories Closed - Smaller
Towns Along Grand River Isolated.

Grand Rapids. Mich, March 2S.-
Conditions in this city and nearby
towns along the Grand river are very
grave as result of the unprecedented
flood. The river gauge is three feet
ABOVE the previous high water record,
that OF 1874.
The inhabitants of flooded houses
are suffering gr atty from cold and
lack Of food. A vast amount of sick
ness will, it Is feared, follow the ex-
posture sustained by many of the food
victims. Inc worn of rescuing inhabi-
tants Of the flooded houses continued
all Sunday, a squad of local militia
assisting the rescuers. 1t is conser
vatively estimated that the loss to
property and business on account Of
the floods will exceed $2,000,O00.
Fifteen tnousa'd men are unable to
work, owing to factories being COM
PEELED to close. lnterurban cars are
running over portions of the roads out
Of Grand Rapids. The city lighting
station is cut on and the city Is in
darkness. Many of the west side
churches are surrounded by water and

schools on the west side must close
Temporarily.

Chicago-The subcommittee Of the
republican national committed having
in charge the arrangements of the ma.
tional convention in this city have met
with the local committee to discuss the
preparations that have been made at
the Coliseum, where the convention is
to be held.
All arrangements made by the local
committee were approved by the mem
bers of the national committee.
1t was explained to the members Of
the naional committee Mt the outset
that Chicago had never promised to
put up for the use Of the national COM
mittee such sum as $4,000, nor, in
fact, had 1t promised to put up any
sum Of money at all. What it had
pomised to pay was all the bills Of the
convention, and this it would do. 1t
was determined that all the bills for
the convention are to be turned over to
the local committee and it will provide
for their payment.
None Of them will be presented to
the national committee, which will be
under no obligations for any expenses
incident to the holding Of the conven.
ito. In going over the arrangements
made for the seating it was found that
the number Of seats in the hall will be
8425. or these 500 will be ON the
stage and $50 will be for the press.
There will be 900 seats for delegates
and the same number for alternates,
leaving 1878 for spectators.

RAILWAY IN DANGER;
Belief the Japs Wait Only for Signal
to Attack it.

Belief the Japs Wait Only for Signal
to Attack it.
London, March 81. - The military
expert Of the London Times declares:
"The most surprising thing about the
events in the far east during the last
few weeks is the apparent immunity
from attack of the Russian railway
lines. 1t had been promised by the Jap.
anese before the. war began, he declares,
that the railways would be impeded,
and even in part would be demolished.
The Japanese had made thorough
study Of the country before the opening
Of the war and knew more about the
conutry outside Of the immediate vi.
cinityg Of the garrisons than even the
Russians themselves.
"There has been ample time to dis.
patch bold raiding pal ties, who would
be landed from small warships, or even
merchant ships, at points along the
coasts, and the assumption is that the
Japanese are wanting in resc urce and
audacity. or that preparations have
been actually made, and a given sig
nal is awaited before the blow il
struck.
Nothing that has vet occurred justi.
fies the belief that the Japanese are
wanting in intelligence aud resource,
therefore we must fall back on the as
sumption that the Japanese believe
that the hour to strike has not yet ar
rived.
"In what position, the, efore, will
the Russians stand il they awake some
fine morning and find the railway sew
cred. not at one place, but along the
entire line, and hostile army threaten
ing Vladivostok? II the Russian army
can exist in the Liao valley, with :
line Of communication severed. it will
surprise many people. and it is general.
ly conceded that If this happens it will
have to retrace its steps to Harbin.
"The Russian army is in fact al
much tied up to its railway line as wai
the British army in the Transvaal, and
has to depend on a single line Of
track, while the British had three, and
the Japanese are not whit less enter
prising than the Beers"
