THE CANVASS
Of THE VOTES

While the interest i'll the outcome
OF the Senatorial choice and the
Coneres election still remains.
and will probably continue for sew
eral days, there Is good deal OF in
tercst as to the procedure i'll certi-
lying the vote.
The law provides that the county
commissioners shall canvass the
vote in each county on the tenth day
after the election. which would be
November 10th They shall, by their
clerk, transmit the abstract OF the
result TO the Secretary OF State.
On the third Monday in December
which is December 10th, the chief
Justice and the associate justices
constituting a majority OF .he court.
shall meet with the Secretary OF
State in the latter's Office, and COM
pile all the abstracts, and the Govef-
nor shall grant certificate OF cleo
tion.
The same procedure is mapped out
on choice for United States Senator,
except that within five days afte,
the convening of the Legislature
the Secretary of State shall transmit
the result to each branch OF the leg
islature.

VOTES
AND RESULTS

The Democrats seemed to have
sized up the vote by the straw vote
taken over the Union. 1t early show
ed that the Nation was going Demo
craic, while the people Of the big
papers in the east confirmed this re
port. For once the stray vote
game proved all right for the Win
ming side. Some time ago straw
vote was taken in the schools at To-
nopah, resulting in the selection OF
the Socialist ticket. The expression
was about verified at the election or
Tuesday. The sentiment of the par
ent is generally echoed by the child

Seventy-fve head were driven down the

The water is higher than that of 1903
and may back into vidalia.
The water is running over private pro-
lection levees back Of four large planta-
tions back of Lake Concordia, flooding
3, 900 acres. The private leyee protecting
S. d. Watson's place, back of Goldman
Landing, Tensas parish, broke to-day,
flooding $500 acres.
Rations for food refugees in all the in
terror districts will be sent by steamers
and motor launches. Planters are lend

In reply to telephonic inquiry late
tonight j. I. Mcclellan, president of the
Fifth Louisiana Levee Board, who re-
turned to vicksburg from trip to Al
satia, said the crevasse has widened tc

will continue to pour its water through
the break until it falls three feet lower

TO eUARDs Ann PATROL.

Guards and patrol should have these
instructions:
Allow no depreciation on Ievees by
travel or stock and no travel along
seipage berms.
Allow no one on the levee at night
except official patrol.
Allow no skiffs to approach the ievee
at night.
All seip water must be drained from
the slope of the levee and also from
BERN when possible.
Distress signals should be adopted
to call for help.
Iurge that this organization be inn
mediately made and work be begun
at once. There Is no cause for panic,
but there Is great need of vigilance.

the OVERFLOW GENERAL AND
DISASTROUS.


Tallulah, La, April 24.-Three-fourths
of northeast Louisiana within the boun-
diaries of the Arkansas river on the north,
Ouachita river on the west, the Missis-
sippi on the east and the Red river on
the south, comprising eleven parishes, in
whole or in part, is under water.
Much Of the land in these parishes
which was to-day above water viii go
under as the food spreads. Most OF this
vast expanse has rushed through the Dog
tail crevasse in the Mississippi river levees
near Alsatia, La, bu. for nearly two
weeks an almost equal volume OF water
has been pouring into the section between
Delhi and Monroe north, from the Gre
vase at Panther Forest and Rosemary.
The water from Panther Forest was to-
day surrounding the town OF Rayvilie,
around which strong protection levee
has been completed.
From Tallulah a sea of muddy water
lies in every direction. Only an occasional
spot of high ground is above water and
everywhere one looks skiffs and launches
are to be seen. There is no railroad COM
munication, and probably the people here
will not see train again in another six
or eight weeks.
Not one life has been sacrificed in this
entire flooded territory so far as is known
and for this the people are happy. More
than 1900 in the eleven parishes are
homeless, however, with perhaps l,OOO,-
600 acres of land rnined so far as cultiva-
ton this season is concerned, and the
suffering will be greater than this section
has ever known.
The loss to the railroads will entail sew
eral hundred thousand dollars. Nearly 2OC
miles of track in northeast Louisiana is
already overf1owed with stretches OF The
road bed washed away and probably
another sixty miles will be hidden by the
waters within another ten days.
Added to the immense volume OF watel
from the Dogtail, Panther Forest anc
Rosemary crevasses is the food from the
Ouachita river, which has spread over
wide territory, inundating thousands o
acres of farm lands north of Monroe. Th'
Ouachita food is thus far independent o
the water from the Mississippi river ere
vase in Arkansas, but within few day
they are expected to meet and continue
their work of destruction southwark
through the parishes Of Ouachita, Rich
land, Caldwell, Franklin, Catahoula an6
Concordia. Then down into the two lat
|, ter parishes these floods will have addeC
to their force the waters from the Dogtai
which already cover vast areas OF Eas
and West Carroll, Madison, Tensas ant
Concordia parishes.
: Very few towns in Catahoula, Concor
! dia and the extreme southeast OF La Sall'
parishes within forty miles of Red rive
will escape complete inudation and tim'
only can tell what viii be the extent o
the rise in the Mississippi south OF Torra
. when the combined waters begin to pou
! back into that stream through the Rec
: river.

Little Change Reported.

Greenville, Miss, April 24.-Littl
change as from yesterday is reported il
the flood situation in this section. The
food waters overhowing Deer Greek Ridge
at Stoneville and slightly at Wilczsinski
are filling the lowlands Of Black Bayou
Basin, but the volume is not sufficient,
it is declared, to reach this city. Farm
ing operations on two hundred square
miles territory west to Deer Creek are
going on unhampered.
The food waters are stationary in the
Upper Bogue section while rising and
spreading rapidly in the south. Upper
Sharkey and lower Washington counties,
in the vicinity of Belzoni and Silver City,
are now receiving food waters from the
rise in the Sunhower river. The north
ward trend of the food has reached the
vicinity Of Boyle.
Reports from the section feeling the
brunt of the food state there are a few
families in remote places still without re-
lief, but it was thought they would be
reached by rescue parties to-day. An APP
peal 10 the government for aid for. two
thousand negroes quartered at Shaw was
received to-day. A large number Of ref
ugees at Heathman are being supplied
from Leland. Benoit received small al
lotment Of supplies from Niblett. Lieut..
Baker is here in charge of relief work
and hopes to have the situation well in
hand in day or so.
Special mail routes by boat to Rosedale
and by hand-csr and boat to the south
ern terminal were established to-day.
The local levee situation is much re-
lieyed and the long period Of public ex-
citement is apparently at an end. The
dense throng that has habitually thronged
the levees is now dwindled to a few
straggIers. The river is falling but slight
ly registering at 2 p. m. forty-six feet.
Three Negroes Drowned.
Natchez, Miss, April 24.-S. A. Conn,
general manager Of the property on Bay
on Macon, La, extending fifty miles
along the bayou. owned By the company
of which Charles P. Taft, brother of
President Taft, is the head, to-day re-
ceived information that 95 per cent of
the eplace is under water from the Panther
Forest break. Three negroes we're drowned
to-day by Alsatia crevasse water, seven
miles east Of Gilbert, La.
With government and state levees hold
ing the Mississippi river, the east and
west ievees at Clayton. La, on the Ten
sas river, sixteen miles northwest of vi
dalia, gave way to-day and the town of
two hundred population is now flooded
with three feet of water which is rising
at the rate of seven inches day. Three
carloads of live stock were sent out from
there to-day, the last sain to be operated
in or out of the lace and two from
Junks, only few miles distant. The
break was caused by crevasse water from
Alsatia. This water will reach Ferriday
tomorrow and special relief trains, gratis,
are being operated tonight by the Mis-
souri, Pacific system bringing live stock
] from Ferriday and vicinity to Natche
