RIVER IS FALLING.
All Flood Records at New Orleans
Have Been Broken.

New Orleans, La. May 11.-New
Orleans awoke this morning with the
sun beaming down upon last nights
scene of confusion when the city ex-
perienced a storm that, because of the
flood in the river, was the most threat
ening ever known. No rain fell during
the latter part of the night and the
clouds had vanished this morning with
prospects of a fair, warm day.
The river fell gradually from
O'Clock this morning after having ex-
ceeded all flood rec ords here by a foot
and a half.
The wind ranged from 81 miles an
hour at New Orleans to 40 miles an
hour at Baton Rouge and at many
points along the river it swept the
waves of the swollen stream over the
levees.
At New Orleans five and one-half
inches of rain fell from noon until 10
p. m. and about four inches fell be-
tween and o'clock. The Mississippi
river here was banked up by the high
winds and rose eight inches in two
hours, between 8 and 10 O'Clock, fore
ing the waters over the levees at sew
eral points.
