PEORIA, Ill., Jan. 24.-The floods in
Illinois, so far from subsiding after
week Of almost daily increase, are
now worse than ever, and have
reached the proportions Of great
menace.
The Illinois river is rising fast,
swollen BY recent rains, an the resi-
dents Of the IoWlands are fleeing In
panic, many Of them being forced to
leave behind most of their personal
possessions. Hundreds have been res
cued from their nnarooned homes by
patrol parties in boats. Many have
been suffering from the exposure IN
their flooded houses. The dikes that
protect the low bottom lands are brok-
en- in many places.
The inundation Of farms, villages
and small towns is causing enormous
damage to property, and there Is =
great loss in livestock Of various
kinds.
One Of the most serious of the in
dividuaI disasters Is the breaking
early today Of the Spoon River levee,
protecting thousands of acres below
Havana. The towns Of Havana, Lew
iston, Duncan and Mills are isolated.
The water 10 the highest on record.

II 10 expected that il will take
long time to find the missing passen-
gers, owing to the depth Of the snow

coaches were swept from the track.

averted floods in the entire lower Pu.
get Sound country.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Jan. "a
Travel by land and sea is disorganized
because Of the storms that are sweep
ing the Pacific and western third Of
the United States. Rain, snow and
gales in western United States and
the heavy winds off the coast have
caused railroads and steamship lines
to modify or abandon their schedules.
The steamer Admiral SchIey, report
ed off Coos Bay, is now believed to be
safe, late wireless reports indicating
that she can live through tho gale.
The steamer centraIia, also reported
in distress. is likewise thought to be
in no danger Of laundering, though
she may be crippled and has lost her
deckload.
The North Pacific coast last night
and today was swept by a Camille
wind which caused much shipping to
hug the harbors and did some damage
to the smaller fleets.
