NEW YORK, May 5.-The weather
man provides warm sun and cloud
less sky today for the biggest wom-
ans suffrage demonstration in the
history of New York city. For nearly
a year preparations for the great pa
rade had been under way. There was
little for Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blat-
lch and her assistants to do except to
marshal the various divisions of their
forces for the big parade at 5 o'clock
and the mass meeting in Carnegie hall
at 8 o'clock. The $4,000 women and,
men, too, who had asked for places in
the parade received the last word of
exhortation from Mrs. Blatich during
the morning. Remember she said
through printed card with which
each parader was provided, "You
march for the mightiest reform the
world has ever seen. The orderly
appearance of our procession depends
upon each individual marcher. Re-
member, the public will Judge, quite
illoPically, Of course, but not the less
strictly, your qualifications as voter
by your promptness." The men
marchers, a host which Mrs. Blatich
thought might reach 5000 in number,
were disappointed today TO learn that
Colonel Roosevelt had declined an in
vitation to lead their division. The
program provided for eleven divisions.

NEW ORLEANS, May 5.-The
Hood conditions in the lower Missis-
sippi valley continue today to grow
worse. No one, not even those VINO
have dealt with similar problems, will
forecast the outcome Of the wash
ing Of the greatest volume of water
ever recorded in the great stream. At
New Orleans today the former record
was broken by almost foot.
The water at Torras, La, is pour
ing through the levee crevasse with
an overwhelming gap. Another break
is threatened there.
The reports from the inundated see
tion north of New Roads is of a
gloomy character. The flood water is
travelling at a rapid rate towards the
Atchafalaya river and is nearing the
main line Of the Texas and Pacific
railroad.
A telephone message from Let's
worth early today said the towns were
deep under water and hundreds of
persons in the surrounding country
are marooned in their homes, in tho
cottongin houses and on the house
tops. Motor boats have been sent to
Letsworth for rescue work.
A special train arrived at New
Roads last night with several hun
dred refugees from the deluged coun-
try.
A relief expedition arrived at Bach
elor, ten miles south Of Torras last
night, with large number of vic
inns on the verge of starvation.
The conditions at Baton Rouge are
hourly growing more menacing. A
force Of thousand men worked all
night, aided by searchlights on the
steamboats,, trying to prevent a break
in front of that city.
