GREAT DAMAGE BY RAINS.

Moro Water Added to Already Swollen
Missouri Streams.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Dec. 25-The
heavy rain has caused great alarm
along the Usage and Moreau river
valleys. The already swollen streams
are rising and it is feared that the high
water of last week will be greatly aug
mented. Bottom farms are swept Of
fencing, hay stacks, shock corn and
many outbuildings. A great amount
of stock has been drowned, and if the rain
continues twenty-four hours the river
will be scene of wild devastation.
Several lives are reported to be lost
along the Usage valley. Word received
from Tuscumbia, sixty miles up the
Usage, says that more than 100, 900 BUSH
els of corn within small radius of bot
tom land was washed away and thou
sands of railroad ties and bridge timbe~s
have floated away. The Usage is high
er than it was in 1882, when it broke
the record.
A telegram says that the Meramec is
higher than it ever was before. The
Missouri is rising and promises to be
booming soon.

NOW FEAR FOR THE DANUBE.


Series OF bad Southerly aad Westerly
Gales ON the Pacific.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Dec. 25. -
The worst storm experienced in this
section for many years has prevailed
for the past two days. The tele-
graph wires are prostrated and ship
ping is at a standstin. Steamers arriv-
ing from the south report a severe gale
from the west, and steamers bound
down are compelled to seek shelter and
wait for tho weather to moderate.
The prevalence Of succession of
southwesteriy gales has not not only in
tensified fears for the safety of the miss
ing Strathnevis, of the North Pacific
line, but much uneasiness is now felt
for the British steamer Danube, which
left Victoria two weeks ago to search
for the disabled steamship. During
that period the weather has been in
tensely stormy.

Little Hope For the Grew Of the British
Ship Moresby.
DUBLIN, Dec. 24.-The British ship
Moresby, Capt. Coomber, was stranded
off the Ballina Courts lighthouse, near
Dungarven, about mile and a half
from the shore. Her clew, numbering
30 men, have been lashed to her rigging
throughout the night and it is believed
they will perish, as the sea is 80 heavy
as to render it impossible for ifeboat
to live in it any length Of time.
Some Of the Grew Were Rescued.
Later in the day lifeboat succeeded
in getting to the Moresby and rescued
several of the crew. The others re-
mained, however, lashed to the rigging.
The Moresby, at the time the hfeboat
was driven away from her, was break
ing up.
In spite of the efforts to save them,
seventeen of the Moresby's crew were
drowned when that vessel broke up.

Are Unanimous Against the Proposed

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The Demo-
Gratis Of the house will oppose unani-
mously, SO far as can be ascertained,
the revenue bill which the Republicans
will bring in on Thursday. Both the
silver and anti.silver Democrats assert
that there is no necessity for an in
crease in the revenues, az they claim
that the available cash in the treasury
over and above the gold reserve is
amply sufficient to meet any deficien-
cies that may occur for the next two
years, when they expect the receipts
from the present tariff law to equal or
exceed the expenditures. Up to this
point the Democrats seem to agree. As
to an authorization for coin bonds, they
differ. The gold men would be
willing to vote for bonds, prefer
ably gold bonds, to fortify the reserve,
but they point out that, in their opin-
ion, no bond bill
Will Meet the Situation.
The trouble, they declare, is the exist
ence of the greenbacks, which can be
used to pump gold out of the treasury,
and unless their redemption and retire.
ment is provided for, the gold pur-
chased with bonds would simply be
piled up to be drawn ont again, and the
only practical effect would be to i'll
crease the interest bearing debt with
ont removing the active agent for
weakening the reserve. It is not i'm
probable that some Of the Democrats
will offer as substitute comprehen-
s;ye plan for the retirement OF the
greenbacks, including an authorization
for an issue of $500, O0O, 900 in bonds for
that purpose and the reduction OF the
tar On national bank circulation.
