DESTRUCTIVE FLOODS. High Water Causes Loss of Life and Property. Knoxville, Tenn., May 23-Millions of dollars of damage has been done and at least eight lives lost in Upper Tennessee by the floods, caused by the recent heavy rains. The Doe river, the Wautaga, the Holston, the Chu key and the French Broad are out of bounds and growing crops have been swept away along their courses. On the Chukey river, three chil? dren of Joseph Hill were drowned in his house while he was at his barn looking after his stock and unaware of the danger. On this river six bridges were swept away, doing a dam? age of about $60,000, while the damage to farms, houses and stock along this stream in Greene county alone will amount to one-half million dollars. At Leeper* s mill, on Chukey river, two Bolivar brothers fell from a boat into the river, one being drowned. A narrow escape from death by the flood occurred near Greenville, where Mrs. James Johnston and two other women were rescued from the second story of their dwelling. The Hol? ston river is rapidly rising. At Mor? ristown 12 houses floated past today and one corpse went past on the drift? wood. One hundred feet of railroad ties bound together passed this point also. These are supposed to have come from Elizabethton. The French Broad has reached with? in four feet of its famous flood of 1867 and is rising two inches an hour. At Knoxville the Tennessee river is nearing the 30-foot mark with indi? cations that it will reach 36 feet to? morrow. The warning has been heed? ed and houses are being vacated along the river brink. Richmond, Va., May 22-News reached here tonight of disastrous floods all over the State. At Farm ville the Appomattox is higher than in twenty years and there has been great loss to farmers by the washing away of crops. East and northbound Chesapeake and Ohio trains were delayed at Char? lottesville by high water, and the Charlottesville woolen mills are flood? ed to the second story. Danville reports much damage to the Danville and Western railroad and at Bassett's, west of the city, a church was washed away. The Danville mills are flooded and the electric light plant had to be shut down. New river at Radford, is on the big? gest rise since 1878. The elctric light plant is wrecked and the roller mills are ander water to the sceond story. Traffic on the Radford division of the Norfolk and Western road is sus? pended. James river, at Columbia, has risen from five feet above low water mark this morning to 25 feet tonight at ll o'clock and is still rising. This means danger of a big flood here. The high water from up the James river is expected to reach here about noon tomorrow. The merchants and others in the low lying section of the city are moving out. A Bristol special says Henry Mos? sie, of. Hall's Bottom, Va., and Mil? ton Boyd of Wallace, Va., are reported drowned in the flood in that section. Two residences, a school house and a barn were washed away in Washing? ton county. Roanoke, Va., May 22-As a result of the heavy rains that have fallen during the past week, the highest wa? ter mark has been reached by the Roanoke river since 1877. In Roanoke the flood water reaches the Thirteenth street. The bridge over Mason's creek gave way just as it was cleared by a trolley car bonnd for Salem last night. Part of the bridge on the belt line in Roanoke was swept away and is now useless. The Norfok and Wesetrn has suf? fered greatly. Washouts and landslides have tied up the trains on the Poca? hontas, North Carolina, Winston-Sa lem and Durham divisions. On the last named the water is still rising. On the main line between Bluefield and Radford no trains are running. There was trouble on the Norfolk and Western at Mason's Creek and the trains due here at midnight Tues? day did not arrive until 10 o'clock this morning. On the Roanoke and South ern in this city there is a gap of 100 feet where the water has washed away the tracks^ Several bridges have been destroyed between here and Martins? ville on the Roanoke and Southern. Charlotte, N. C., May 22-The flood in western and Piedmont North Caro? lina is the worst in many years. The Catawba river at Moragntonis 31 feet above low water. At three places near Marion it has changed its course. At Marion 700 feet, of track on the Wes? tern North Carolina division of the Southern Railway is washed away. Passenger train No. ll has been water bound at Mud Cut since noon Tues? day and will be for three or four days yet. Asheville is isolated, no trains entering or leaving there. The electric plant is injured and the city is in darkness. Biltmore, Van? derbilt's ideal village, is partly flood? ed many cottage's lower floors are cov .erei with water. The Cliffs hotel on the Catawba near Hickory is badly damaged and has floated like Noah's ark, down the river. At Durham 5.28 inches of rain has fallen in 24 hours. The r"no river is higher than ever be? fore. Many bridges have been washed away and the damage to growing crop W??I amount up into the hundreds of thour'r.ds of dollars. THE TENNESSEE FLOOD. Knoxville, Tenn., May 23. -The Tennessee river reached the height of 35.8 at this place this afternoon at 3 o'clock and is slowly falling. Its trib? utaries in upper east Tennessee, where the greatest loss has resulted from the flood have rapidly receded, revealing wreckage of houses and bridges and ruined crops. The loss of life thus far reported from all portions of the flooded district ag? gregates fourteen. At Knoxville the flood did no great amount of damage. The Onega, the largest vessel plying the Tennessee, above Chattanooga, was totally wreck? ed. The steamer was docked for re? pairs to her hull. The flood had near? ly submerged the boat when a loosened raft of ogs crushed her into kindling wood and sent WTeckage floating aay. TOLSTOI IK PERIL. Reformer Declares He is Marked For Assassination. Count Leo Tolstoi's reply to the deree of 'the Russian Holy Synod ex? communicating him was received here yesterdad. He denounces the decree as faulty, unlawful, intentionally of dou? ble meaning, uncalled for and full of lies also provocative of ill feeling and mean and double dealings. Tolstoi claims to prove these allegations point for point. The count assserts that the decree was unjustified since it charges him with making propaganda with false? hoods for criminal ideas. The Censor, he claims, has forbidden the distribu? tion of his writings and therefore most of the people who read the decree of excommunication do not really know what he was excommunicated for. Let? ters which he has received prove this. The decree also states, the count al? leges, that futile attempts were made to get him to come back into the church. The count declares that he knows nothing of such attempts. The decree also contains allegations of a defamatory character meant to injure him, says the count. "The decree," alleges the count, 44 arouses against me the anger and the hate of those whose minds are be? clouded with ignorance and incapable of correct thought. In consequence of the decree I have received letters threatening'with assassination: 'You are under the ban, ' is the cry. " 'You will, after your death, be condemned to eternal torture. You will die like a dog I You demon !' are some of the phrases contained in some of the letters. ' ' Another letter asks why the govern? ment has not shut me up in a monas? tery and is full of the vilest denunciation. Still another let? ter says: 'If the govern? ment does not cause you to disappear, then we shall cause you to keep quiet. ' The letter concludes: 'To annihiiate you, you miserable, I shall soon find the means !' Then follows curses and anathemas which common decency forbids me to repeat. ' ' On the day of the issuance of the decree of excommunication fingers were pointed at me with t^ese words : 'There goes the devil in the person of a human being !' And had the num? ber of persons calling at me assumed the proportions of a crowd I might have been beaten to death, as was an? other a few years ago at the Chapel Pantelei Monowskaja. Count Tolstoi alleges that the theoretical teachings of the church are a lie and the grosses superstition. The count then quotes Coleridge's remarks to the effect that whoever loves Christendom more than the truth will soon love his church better than Christendom, and finally himself better than any one else. "The phases which Coleridge ques? tions," says the Count, "I have gone through backward. I now love the truth better than I love Christen-1 dom."-New York Journal. THE CHIGMMAUGA BEBIMEHT. Columbia May, 24.-Yesterday after? noon the following order was issued by the adjutant general : Special Order No. 14.

For the information of all concern? ed, it may be repeated that the train that will carry all the military com? mands, the governor and staff, will leave the union depot on Sunday morn? ing at 7.30 o'clock. The train will be a long one and will be handled over the mountain route going via Spartan burg, Asheville, N. C.. Morristown, Tenn., and Knoxville, Tenn. The ride along the valley of the French Broad river will no doubt be a revelation to many of the soldiers. Arrangements were originally made for 2? men to the company. Yesterday it was learned that many other mem? bers of the several companies who will pay their own way will go. For instance the Camden company, it is said will go over 00 men strong. The companies will begin to reach Columbia tomorrow night, assembling here for the start. Arrangements will be made for dinner for those desiring it on Sunday at Asheville. The supper station will be arranged for and announced later. Montgomery, Ala., May 24.-The Constitutional Convention today unanimously pledged itself to keep the pledges of the Democratic party and submit a Constitution framed to the people for ratifiction. The privi? leges of the floor were extended to : Senators Morgan and Pettus. Little Rook. Ark. May 24.-The Southern Presbyterian General Assem? bly this afternoon refused to adopt the catechism on the nature and gov? ernment of the Church as reported by the committee appointed one year ago. It was ordered that the catechism be sent down to the presbyteries for criticism with instructions to return it to to the ad interim committee by Feb rua rv 1, 1902. Tillman and Mclaurin to Meet. Arrangements For Meeting in Gaffney Today. Gaffney, May 24.-It looks very much as if the United States senators from South Carolina will get into a tangle tomorrow, although some seem to think there will be a slip. Senators McLaurin and Tillman arrived here this afternoon on the first through train that has come in over the Air Line road. Senator Tillman came from Trenton unattended ; Senator McLau? rin came from Greenville and was ac? companied by about 20 of his friends. Committees met the senators at the train and Senator McLaurin was en? tertained at the home of A. N. Wood and Senator Tillman at the home of J. C. Otts. Soon after their arrival here Mr. Otts, representing Senator Tillman, went forth to negotiate for the joint meeting. He suggested a joint meet? ing at Limestone grove, so as to avoid crowding .and that McLaurin speak for an hour then Tillman for an hour and a half and McLaurin to reply for half an hour. Mr. Otts was author? ized to make any arrangements that would be acceptable. Senator McLau? rin was equally as willing, and to? night the announcement is made that the programme will be made: Speak in Opera House ; McLaurin open with half hour ; Tillman speak up to hour and half; McLaurin reply for not longer than an hour. Sizes up McLaurin. In a dispatch to the Chicago Re? cord-Herald written after canvassing the political situation in South Caro? lina, Mr. Wiliam E. Curtis, who came to this State primed with north? ern notions of the importance of the McLaurin heresy, pronounces the pros? pect :<not encouraging." Says Mr. Curtis : ' ' There is lack of confidence in Senator McLaurin as a leader. He has created a situation, but he cannot handle it. He is recognized as a man of integrity and good intentions, but of only moderate ability, and his vacillating disposition, as shown by his past record, does not inspire faith as to his present tenacity of purpose. His health is poor and his physical strength is no greater than his intel? lectual force. He has no individual? ity. He is conspicuous for nothing. He does not possess the qualifications necessary for the leader of any great movement. Furthermore, his politi? cal fortunes are at stake and there is a general feeling that he is more anx? ious to secure his re-election to the United States Senate than to promote the principles he is now advocating." GREAT STORM ON LAKES. Bay City, Mich., May 24.-A spe? cial to the Tribune from Tawas City says: A terrific northeaster prevailed all day and last night. The steamer Baltimore, coal laden, broke in two and sank off Au Sable this morning before daylight. Thirteen were drown? ed including a woman and a boy. The tug Columbia of Detroit with a government steam dredge and two loaded lighters for the Soo was caught in the storm. The lighters and dredge were lost, parting their six-inch ca? ble. The crew of six men are missing. While searching today for her tow the Columbia picked up two men from the Baltimore on a raft. They were almost dead and were taken to east Tawas. Another man was on the raft, but was lost despite the efforts to save him. The schooner Montmorency, which went aground on the Charity islands several days ago, has gone to pieces. Her crew left her Thursday. The Tawas life saving crew made a trip to her at midnight and rowed 18 miles in the storm and against the wind, but found no one aboard. The Colum? bia picked up her dredge tonight, but the lighters and the expensive ma? chinery they carried and the six men are still missing. The wind is now going down. J Washington, May -Count Cassi I ni, the Russian ambassador, spent an ? hour with Acting Secretary Hill today ' and it is assumed that the Chinese negotiation was the burden of their talk. It has become- aparent that Russia will find it inexpedient to close with the proposition to accept Chinese bonds at any of the interest figures mentioned as indemnity,, unless there rs an international guaranty, and the United States finds it quite impossible to assent to the latter. It is now nearly certain that by China's own action in so weakly op? posing the demands of the ministers for an indemnity amounting- to 8337, 000,000, the United States* effort to secure an abatement of the claim has failed completely, and China must submt to pay the total, or at least to agree- to pay it, for there is grave doubt entertained here of her ability to do-so. Sin?* the reductoin of the indemni? ty has been abandoned it is assumed in the best posted Chinese quarters that authority will now be girosa China to raise- her customs duties. LorssfonT May 24.-An explosion oc? curred this morning at th* Universal Colliery, at Senghenyaav in the Rhondda Valley. Abouti a hundred men were in the pit at the time of the disaster and there LS little hope of saving the lives of any of them. The rescuers at the University Col- \ Herr are working with great difficulty owing to lack of air. Five bodies have been recovered. The wreckage of the pit is complete- almost pre? cluding hope that the imprisoned nven can have survived. There are seventy-eight miners missing. New York, May 23.- Judge Brown of the United States district court signed an order today for the removal of Capt. Hen jam in I). Greene. John F., Edward H. and Wm. T. Gaynor, to Savannah, Ga., for trial on charges of conspiracy with (). M. Carter, formerly captain in the United States army, to defraud the government in connection with the work on harbor improvements at Savannah and other points in the south. Judge Brown granted the defendants five days in which to file bonds for their appear ance for trial at the United States court in Savannah in August next. Capt. Greene and John F. Gaynor wco- held in S25.000 bail each and E. H. and Wm. T. Gaynor in $10.000. FROM THE WIRES. Manilla, May 24.-The discontent among the natives at the appoint? ment of American Judges and alleged discriminations in the civil service in favor of Americans is finding ex? pression, encouraged by some of the native Judges, who are aware that the I reorganization of the judiciary will re ? suit in the loss of their positions.' ? Judge Ner, of the Court of First Instance, of Tondo, one of the leaders of j what is beginning to be called the Radical wing of the Federalists, de : dared today that if such things con ! tinue there will be a second revolu ! tion. Some of the prominent Fede j ralists ridicule the prediction. After conference with Gen. MacArthur Gen. Trias has undertaken negotiations at j Lucban for the surrender of Gen. ? Cailles* which is daily expected.

The Pacific Jurisdiction made an appropriation of $1,100 for the sufferers. Southampton, May 23.-At a con? ference of his constructors and advis ? ers, held this evening on board the Erin, Sir Thomas Lipton told the gentlemen that he was determined to go ahead with the Shamrock II, and left it with them to decide how this could best be done. It was agreed to cable the New York Yacht Club, ask? ing that the date of the contest be postponed until the first week in Octo? ber in order to allow time for the necessary repairs. It was decided to lose no time, but to go ahead under full pressure while awaiting a reply from the New York Yacht Club as to whether the postponement would be granted. Batavia, Java, May 23.-The volcano of Keloet is in eruption. The lara is threatening the Blitar coffee planta? tions and has endangered Kediri. The district is in total darkness. Austin, Tex.

The Court holds that the franchise of corporation without its real property is lifeless,, and also that taxing the franchise and real property would be double taxation, not permitted under the laws of Texas. Philadelphia, Pa., May 21.-The old Liberty Bell is to be hung in the Phil? adelphia building at the South Caro? lina and West Indian Exposition. Councils have no& yet given their offi? cial samction to the loan, but so strong is the sentiment of the business men of the city and of the councilmen themselves in favor of sending the bell South Shat there is no longer any doubt about the matter. Manila, May 23.-The ga Jes of Bilibid prison, Manila, swung open tonight and admitted a mule wagon bearing tbree former United States officers, who reluctantly alighted and began to serve sentences in expiation of crimes in connection with the com? missary scandals.
