The delegates chosen are United
States Senator Elihu Root, State Chair
man William Barnes, jr., William Berri,
of Brooklyn, and Edwin A Merritt, ir..
speaker of the assembly.
The platform was adopted by a viva
voice vote, after Comptroller William

from Kings county, said he must make
some dissent to statements made at
the convention and to the platform.

FLOOD CREST MOVES.
1t Is Now Located at GreenviIIe, Miss,
in Cotton Country.

Memphis, Tenn, April 10.-FIood con-
ditions in the lower Mississippi valley
today are still alarming. The work
of rescuing hundreds of persons ma
rooned in the Arkansas lowlands and
the task of strengthening the levees
in preparing to resist the crest of the
flood in Mississippi and Louisiana con-
tinued.
GreenviIle, Miss. now is the con-
spicuous point in the impressive flood
pictures. For three days the river
torrent has threatened to break through
dikes guarding that city, which is in
the center of the world s richest cot
ton country.
Last night it was felt the crisis had
come and when the thousands of bags
of sand that had been thrown into the
foods NAV by state conVicts and bat
talions of plantation workers held off
the current, a murmur of relief went
up from the delta.
Many river cities are beginning tic
feel the effects of the flood on busi-
ness, merchants receiving inquiries as
to the amount of damage done their
stock and the advisability of shipping
goods into the flooded area.
In those cities which escaped, these
inquiries have brought forth strenuous
protests against exaggerated reports
of the damage. New Orleans protested
against such reports and Paducah, Ky.
Both cities say no damage has been
done in their vicinity and that there
is no likelihood of any.
Missouri Is Rising.
Sioux City, Ia, April 10.-The Mis-
souri, river reached the 16.1 foot stage
today, a rise of fve-tenths of a foot
since yesterday. Reports indicate the
river will go up to the 1876 stage by
tomorrow.
Only the very lowlands are likely
to be inundated.
Falling at Cairo.
Cairo, Ill, April 10.-The river gauge
stood at 53.S feet today, a fall of j
feet in "a hours. Despite the fact that
the rivers have been 10 feet above the
level of the city for week, the levees
have held firm.
Breaks Help Lower River.
Washington, April 10.-The weather
bureau today announced that with the
exception of a break in the levee on
Tuesday at Wilson's, Ark, about II
miles below Osceola, there had been
no change in the flood situation along
the Mississippi river, except that the
breaks in the levees above would keep
the crest in the Vicksburg district
slightly below the original forecast

in which the New York delegation to the
national convention was urged to vote Tor
