The hamage Inv Hirh Wntar.

The streams in East Tenn essee and
Virginia have been out of their banks
for several days, caused by unusually
heavy rains, and as a consequence
thousands of logs have lifted their
mornings, booms been broken, and logs
carried hither and thither upon the
breasts of the maddened streams. The
usual loss to logmen in such disasters
is from 90 to 30 per cent, and it is
estimated that in this instance the loss
will exceed the average. Some Of the
streams reached 40 feet above the low
water mark.
Nor was this all the damage sustain
ed. In different sections houses, fences,
bridges, cattle and hogs were washed
away, and various railroads suffered Sc
we're losses in washouts, etc.
The ]atauga river was ne exception,
and the Watauga Lumber company
were heavy losers.

the statement published yesterday
morning by the Daily News" to the
effect that the six great powers would
shortly consider project, the object of
which is the occupation by Russia of
the northeastern corner Of Turkey,
formed by the Bosphorus and the Black
Sea. to about half way down the Bos-
phorus, which, together with the Dar-
danelles, will be made entirely free to
the vessels of all nations. The Daily
News added that the forts along the
Dardanelles would be dismantled and
Abdul Hamid would retire from the
Sultanate.
In official quarters here it is declared
that the alleged project is an absurd
fantasm. The Foreign Office has heard
of no such proposal. and officials there
say ii is impossible to understand why
q responsible paper would publish such
statement. The truth is that there is
still complete pause in the discussion
of the question affecting the Darda-
nelles. When the matter is reopened
Lord Salisbury will not admit of any
change in his contention that whatever
rights in the straits have been obtained
by Russia must be extended to all the
powers.

SITUATION AT CHIPPEWA FALLS
Opinion That There Will be No Great
Destruction of Property.

CHIPPEWA FALLS (Wis.), Dec. O.
The water in the river here was sta
tionary to-day, and while there is no
immediate prospect of the food leaving
the city entirely, the general opinion
is there will be no great destruction Of
property. Business men who We're COM
PEELED to remove their goods are not
taking any risk by moving back into
the abandoned buildings to-day. but
next week the city is expected to re-
sumo much of it's normal condition.
Anchor ice still comes down the river,
but in smaller quantities, and the gorge
is not getting much larger. The Wis
consin Central Depot is badly wrecked
and will be abandoned.
