Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 24.—The
Mississippi river from Cairo to
New Orleans is rising rapidly, and
there is enough water in s ght to
send it above the danger line from
Cairo to Viekebure.
The water rose a foM here today
and in four days it wi 1 probably
be above the danger line.
At Caiio the danger has been
passed, with a further heavy flood
coming down the Ohio, Cumber
land and Tennessee, Two crevasses
in ti e level s in the Mississippi
delta are not yet completed, and
it will not be possible to fill them
within ter days
The situation is regarded as ex
tremely grave, end unless there ie
a general freeze throughout the
north Mississippi and Ohio valleys
a repetition of last year’s flood is
look for, althrough the damage
will not be so great owing to the
fact of its being early in the year
and the water will probably sub
