ALL SECOND TO BLAINE.
HARDISON ADMITS THAT BLAINE
CAN HAVE THE NOMINATION.
The Presidential Booms cf Sherman
and tlcKlnley Make Him Smile.
Blaine Still Says Nothin* and Saws
Wood-A Belief That He May Not
Speak Out Before the Convention.
Washington, Nov. 11.—President Har
rison laughs at the presidential booms of
Ssma'or Gov.-elect McKinley
as be would at a presidential boom for |ex-
Gov. Foraker. An Ohio man by birth and
acquaintance, he knows Ohio politics al
most as well as he knows Indiana politics
and realizes that the Ohio delegation in the
next republican national convention will
not be |united in support of any Ohio can
didate. The fact is that President Harri
son realizes, and so tells his friends, that
tbe question of who shall bo nominated by
tie republicans next year depends entirely
upon Secretary Blaine. If Secretary Blaine
wants tie nomination be will got it. Presi
dent Harrison says to his friends that if
Secretary Blaine does not want the Domina
tion, it will do to talk about another can
didate.
RLAINE STILL, MUM.
Up to this evening, It can be stated au
thoritatively, President Harrison has had
no intimation from Secretary Blaine as to
his intentions. Secretary Blaine has not
mentioned the presidency to him nnd Presi
dent Harrison has feared to broach it lest
Secretary Blaine should be indignant a; and
devote himself to preventing President
Harrison from getting a renqminatlon. But
Secretary Blaine's silence, which President
Harrison begins to think may not bo bro
ken until after the convention, impresses
President Hanrison, as It does everybody
else, with the belief that Secretary Blaine
has determined to accept the nomination.
President Harrison’s chief hope now lios in
the possibility that some change may occur
in Secretary Blame’s health which would
compel Secretary Blaine to publicly with
draw.
CONTHOL OP THE RAILWAYS.
The Subject Discussed Before the Na
tional Farmers' Congress.
Skbalia, Mo., Nov. 11.—In the national
farmora’ congress to-day Congressman John
T. Heard of Missouri delivered an address
on railway transportation, which, he said,
was a subject, of supreme importance to the
farmer. One of the solutions was found in
the state railway commission. Missouri
had been among the first of the states to
deal with the question in that way, and
Missouri’s experience showed that the
method had been a success. The other
method of controlling railroad cor
porations in the interest of the
people was through the national
railway commission. Some professed to
believe that the railroads should be placed
under government management. Gov
ernment raili oading, he believed, would be
a gigantic failure. In the first place the
government would have to buy the rail
roads and that would cost $10,000, 000,000.
That would be an impossibility, practically,
because there was in circulation only
$1,51)0,000,000.
GEORGIA’S EXPERIENCE.
H. C. Brown of Georgia indorsed every
thing that Mr. Heard Had said. Georgia,
he said, had tried state ownership of a rail
way. Georgia owned the Western and At
lantic railway. Under state control the
rates were high, the service was bad and
the deficits were extraordinary. The state
found that it had beeii too expensive to run
its own railway. The line wus leased to
private individuals. Uudr private control
the road charged cheaper rates, gave better
service, paid a large rental, und made
money for the lessees.
SOUTH DAKOTA’S ALLIANCEMEN.
Ht*on, S. Df, Nov. 11.—The South
Dakota farmers’ alliance began its annual
session here last night. It is the smallest
gathering that haslassembled at the annual
session since the order's organization. In
st ud of several hundred being present, as
on former occasions, not moro thau sixty
are here. The smali crowd Is a source of
great annoyance to the leaders. Political
deals and incessant clamor for office made
by the leaders are said to have nearly
wrecked the alliance in this state.
ELECTIONS BV DIRECT VOTE.
Resolutions were introduced recommend
ing that the President of the United States
and U nited States senators be elected by di
rect popular vote; demanding the exten
sion of the signal service reports issued by
the agricultural department; requesting
the federal government to aid the states in
the irrigation of arid lands. The resolu
■*on® were adopted with the’exception of
the latter, which the congress defeated by a
vote of 44 to 17.
. A’esolutlon asking congress to improve
the harbor at Savannah was loudly ap<
and unanimously adopted.
The committee ou finance presented a re
port requesting the various state legislatures
to make appropriations for the expenses of
the s.ate delegations to future congresses of

PALMER’S FLAG ORDER.
The General Interviewed on the Com
ment It Has Caused.
Washington, Nov. 11. Gen. John
Palmer of Naw York, commander-in-chief
of the G. A. R.. is here to attend the meet
ing of the G. A R. National Council of
Administration. In an interview he was
asked: “Have you beard anything from
your letter advising G. A. R. men not to
march in processions which had in them
confederate flags I”
"Yes, but the comment has been gen
erally favorable. 1 wrote that letter be
cause I thought it iny duty to do so. To me
it is inexplicable that a rebel flag should
;' nv ® displayed at the unveiling of the
tra f iy monument. Mr. Grady was a bre ad
minded man, one who would never have
countenanced such foolishness. Of course,
wo understand that southern conditions
differ very materially from those in the
nor h and we make all allowances for those
differences. Union veterans in the south
very properly fraternize and affiliate with
those who wer© once their deadly enemies.
We realize that the war camj to a con
elusion thirty years ago, and have the kind
est feeling for the men south who
have acoepted the result of the oonflict. We
have always had the highest regard for the
men who fought for their flag. The hero is
always a horo, no matter what his cause is,
so long as he believes in it. Those of the
south who fought were Arm in tbe belief
that they were struggling for the right, but
I have yet to fled a brainy southerner
who to-day regrets the defeat of
the rebellion. The war settled
forever the question of which
flag was to wave in this country and the
southern men who were most Immediately
interested accepted the ultimatum. This
latter -day sentiment is the wort of thought
less boys and foolish women, assisted by a
few men who, though old eucugh to know
better, are rebels yet. The rebellion is
over. Lot us have no more of two flags In
one country.”
BERING SEA ARBITRATION.
The Agreement Not Signed Yet by
the Two Governments.
Washington, Nov. IL—lt is learned that
the Bering sea agreement has not yet re
ceived the signatures of the representatives
of the United States and Great Britain,for,
although all points to be submitted to arbi
tration have been agreed upon, the method
of arbitration is still a matter open to dis
cussion. This, must be arranged and in
cluded in the terms of the treaty. There
are several methods of procedure in such
cases, one of the most satisfactory to the
interests of the Uuited States being that
which was followed lu the appoint
ment of the Genova arbitrators,
when the United States and Great Britain
each chose one representative from other
nations, and these two selected three others.
It is believed by persons in authority that
this remaining point wifi be adjusted before
the meeting of the Senate, and that the
arbitrators wifi have defined the exact
right of the United States aud Great
Britain iu Bering sea before the opening of
tho next sealing season. Regarding the de
cision of the supreme eourt in the Sayward
case it can bo said that the administration is
awaiting the outcome with equanimity.
If the court denies the British contention the
result will be very gratifying, but if it
should take the other oourse and find tho
seizure of the vessel to have been illegal,
tha administration has tho satisfaction of
pointing to the fact that it is lu no wise re
sponsible for the seizure of the Savward,
which was made by order of its predecessor.
BUOBANaN’S CALL FOR TROOFS.
No Request Received at the War De
partment Since the First One.
Washington, Nov. 11.—There has been
no application received at the war depart
ment recently from the governor of Ten
nessee for aid in reinstating the convicts in
the mines in Eastern Tennessee. Last sum
mer, when the first demonstration was
made by free miners, the governor did
apply for the assistance of United States
troops. His application was referred by the
President to Acting Secretary Grant, and
some correspondence followed, but before a
conclusion was reached the disturbance
ceased and the matter dropped. It is not
customary for the war department to send
troops to aid in restoring order in a state
until tho state authorities have exhausted
every internal resource, and even when
this fact is established the President must
satisfy himself as to the merits of the case
before acceding to a request for aid.
TELEPHONE PATENTS.
The Bell Company Hopes to Hold a
Monopoly for Several Years Yet.
Washington, Nov. 11.—The principal
Bell telephone patent expires next year, but
the Bell company has secured so many pat
ents for improvements that it expects to
hold Its monopoly for auother
long term of years. It will be
greatly aided in this by a decision
which Is expected from the patent office
next week in the interference case of Draw
baugh, Edison and Berliner over the tele
phone transmitter patent, which it is
claimed the Bell company has kept
in interference for fourteen years in order
to perpetuate its monopoly. Drawbaugh’s
claim has been rejected entirely, and the
decision of the commissioner of patents will
lie in favor of either Edison or Berliner.
The Bell company does not care which, for
it owns by assignments tbe interests of both
Edison and Berliner and will get the benefit
of the seventeen-year patent.
CLAIMED BY BOTH SIDES.
Harrison’s Friends Think He Oan De
cide on tbe Convention City.
Washington, Nov. lb— President Har
rison’s friends claim that lie will have a ma
jority of one or two in the national repub
lican committee when it meets here, and so
will select the convention citv. But Presi
dent Harrison's opponents say that it is
incredible that he should have captured by
flattery or even by patronage more than a
third of a Blaine committee appointed by a
Blaine convention.
Harrison’s Appointments.
Washington, Nov. 11. —The President
announces that he will make no important
appointments until congress meets.

in Laurens county in September last and
sentenced to be hanged. The governor lias
respited the men anti the movement now is
to get a new trial. So far about $l5O of tbe
SSOO needed has been secured.

VANIA ELECTED.
The Convention in Session All Day
Without Coming to a Choice—The
Vote Finally Reacbed at 7 O’clock at
Night—The Convention Refuses to
Make It Unanimous.
Macon, Ga., Nov. 11.—Rev. Clelland
Kenloch Nelson, D. D., now in charge of a
parish at South Bethlehem, Pa., was to-day
elected to the vacant blsboprio of Georgia.
The convention met this morning at 11
o’clock at St. Paul's church. Busiuess was
preceded by the celebration of the holy
communion, at which Rev. W. C. Hunter
and C. C. Williams of the standing com
mittee officiated.
Rev. Charles H. Strong of Savannah was
not present, as he was obliged to return to
Savannah for a marriage to-day.
The convention was called to'order at 11
o’olock. Twenty-six olergymon were pres
ent and about thirty laymen.
REPORT OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE.
The report of the standing committee was
first read. All of its contents have been
published already, except the following
clause: “The committee permits expression
of opinion on the right of a missionary
bishop to decline election to tho bishopric of
Georgia.”
On a motion of F. F. Reese of Macon to
recommit the report to the committee with
instructions to Btrike out this clause, a
warm discussion took place between Z. D.
Harrison of Atlanta, Rev. F. F. Reese of
Macon,Mr. Dodge of St. Simon’s and Judge
Montgomery. The motion, however, pre
vailed and the objectionable clause was
stricken out. Mr. Harrison said that it was
a point of law and under the law ho did not
think that Bishop Talbott had a right to
refuse. They did not express au opinion ns
to whether ho was under a mandatory call
now as bishop of Georgia.
A RECESS TAKEN.
At 1 o’clock the convention adjourned for
a separate conference among the lay and
clerical delegates. The laymen could, not
arrive at any degree of unity, and remained
divided all day. So it se'emed with the
clergy. It was all day and uo bishop.

convention was called to order by President
Hunter, who reported that the clergy of
fered two names: Rev. Joseph H. Johnson

7 o’olock, after routine business.
CHICAGO’S ANARCHISTS.
Police In a Critical Situation in a Rod
Fiat? Meeting.
Chicago, Nov. 11.— The stars and stripes
waved aloft to-night amid a scene of ex
citement Eunequaled since the Haymarket
riot. Over a thousand anarchists and their
sympathizers wore crowds 1 Into a West
Twelfth street hall to commemorate the day
on which their follow anarchists were
hanged.
It was the most decisive demonstration of
the kind in this city since the day the police
were murdered. The speeches were ex
treme and rad emblems cov
ered everything. The climax came
during the incendiary utterances of
Henry Weismann, editor of the New York
Baker, a German trades paper. Inspector
of Police Hubbard, accompanied by Lieut.
Gibbons and a squad of officers in citizens’
clothes, were seen to quietly approach the
stage. They ordered the American flag
placed among the flaming crimson banners.
Instantly there was a profound sen
sation in the motely audience and
the police were hissed from all parts of the
hall. Sirs. Luoy Parsons, who occupied a
chair against the rear wall, shrieked out:
“Hang the murderers of my husband.” In a
second pandemonium reigned. Inspector
Hubbard unflinchingly stood his ground and
ordered the suspension of the meeting until
his commands were obeyed and the police
took control.
A CLOUDBURST IN WASHINGTON.
Bridges Swept Away and Other Dam
age Done to Property.
Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 11.—There have
never been worse storms in West Washing
ton than those of Saturday aud Sunday be
tween the sound and the cascades. The
worst damage done was near Weston, where
a cloudburst occurred. While no lives
were lost there was much damage to prop
erty. The cloudburst swept everything
bofore It. Between Weston and Tacoma
numerous bridges were washed away. The
storm extended over across the range. The
telegraph wires between Portland and Wal
lalulah on the Union Pacific were down. A
landslide occurred at Orting and Stuck val
ley is flooded. On the sound small steamers
were compelled to lay near shore all Satur
day night. No wrecks are reported.
WOODRUFF’S TRIAL.
The Instructions of the Judge Agalnßt
the Frieoner.
Littlk Rock. Ark., Nov. 11.—In sub
mitting his instructions to the jury in tbe
Woodruff trial to-day Judge Lee was very
severe upon the defendent. The court in
structed the jury that if they found from
tho evidence that Woodruff failed to turn
over to his successor on Jan. 17 last, all the
funds charged to him on tbe nooks
of the auditor he is guilty as
charged. Another instruction considered
damaging to tho defendant is that if tho
jury found that Woodruff loaned the Btate’s
money to any person, it matters not whether
his bodsraen made good the shortage or
not, they should convict. Tho general im
pression is that the ex-treasurer will be con
victed.
A One Day Strike.
St. Louis. Nor. 11.—The strike begun by
the engineers and firemen of the Belt Line
to-day was short-lived. It was declured
off this evening, under the following con
ditions: The engineers are to receive $3 25
and tbe firemen $1 90. Eleven hour 9 w ill
constitute a day’s work, no time being al
lowed for tho noon hour. All the recently
dismissed employes will bo re-instated and
the non-union men will be dismissed.
BANKERS IN SESSION.
Representation for the State Associa
tion Advooated.
New Orleans, La., Nov. 11.—The
Americnu Bankers’ Association began its
seventeenth annual convention to-day.
There are about 300 delegatee in attendance,
including a large number from the southern
country. Senator Gibson welcomed the
association.
G. A Levi of Victoria, Tex., and John
C. Russell of St Louis urged a change In
the constitution so as to giro state
associations representation la order to
encourage and assist the state bodies in
giving more effective local protection. The
matter was finally referred hack to the ex
ecutive association, which first reported ad
versely in - rder that it might heir the
views of all the state associations and report
next year.
The committee on protection was author
ized to prepare a plan for protection against
and punishment of criminals.
FOSTER ON THE SILVER LAW.
A letter from Secretary Foster In reply to
a request for information as to the work
ings of the reoent silver law was laid before
the association. The secretary says, In
part: “The law makes anetauuual addition
in our circulating medium of $34, 000,000.
While it is true that the amount of money
in circulation in this oountry at the present
time is greater than at any other previous
period iu our history and more per caoita
than in any.of tbe leading commercial na
tions of the world, with the single
exception of France, I am of the
opinion that, owing to our rapid
growth in population and wealth
and extraordinary development in all kinds
of business, a yearly increase in our circu
lating medium, somewhat proportionate to
our growth in population, is imperatively
demanded. The issue of treasury notes
under this net affords such an increase of u
Eerfec’ly convenient and sound currency,
ased dollar for dollar upon the cost value
of silvor bullion, redeemable on demand in
gold coin, and with tbe pledge of the gov
ernment to maintain it at par. That this
addition to our circulation has proved
beneficial was forcibly exhibited during the
spring and summer of the present year when,
through the necessities of Europe, gold was
withdrawn from this country lu large
quantities, aggregating in a brief period of
live months over $72,000,000. But for the
substitute provided for domestic trade, in
the form of treasury notes, issued by the
government in the purchase of sliver bul
lion, it is probable that this country would
not have been able to stand this enormous
drain of gold without producing stringency
in the money market and serious business
disturbance.”
A HOME MARKET SCHEME.
Another object of the aot, the secretary
writes, was to provide a homo market for
the silver product of the United States. It
was bo! loved the monthly purchase of a
quantity of silver approximating the
American production would rapidly eu
hance the price of silver. The reason for
disappointment on this point he attributes
to the attraction of foreign silver here
and the large falling off In shipments
to China and India In conclusion
the letter says: “If the remonetization of
silver as fuil legal tender’money is ever to
accomplished, it cau only be done by the
action of nations of sufficient commercial
importance to maintain some fixed ratio in
the coinage between the two metals. This
act is un important step in tbo right direc
tion, (1) because compulsory coinage and the
issue of silver dollars of less intrinsic value
than their nominal value is .repealed;
(2) because it provides for a much larger
absorption of silver by this country thau
heretofore for currency purposes; and (3)
because the new law declares that it is the
established policy of the United States to
maintain tho two metals at parity with
each other.
“It seems to me that the act under con
sideration is a decided improvement upon
the provisions cf the act of 187$ which it
repeals in that it furnishes a sound ourrency
to meet the growing wants of tbo oountry
and has a tendency to reduce tho difference
in vulue between the two metals and thus
help to restore equilibrium so much desired. ’’
IOWA'S TEMPERANCE LAW.
A Movement to Bring it Before the
State Supreme Court.
Des Moines, la., Nov. ll.—Judge Con
rad of the district court on Monday listened to
arguments in the application of J. A. Har
vey of the State Temperance Allianoo for a
writ of mandamus to compel the secretary
of state to certify to him a copy of the con
stitution of lowa, and particularly the con
stitutional amendment relating to the pro
hibitory law. At the time of Mr. Harvey’s
application Secretary McFarland re
fused to certify to the constitu
tional amendment on the ground that
the supreme court had decided
that the amendment was unconstitutional.
In an opinion rendered yesterday Judge
Conrad sustained the secretary of state,
holding that in view of the supreme court’s
ruling the secretary could not be compelled
to certify to tho constitutional amendment.
Notice of an appeal was given aud an effort
will be made to carry the case to the su
preme court. Wbetneror not the supremo
court will reepeu the case is a question that
will be followed with great interest by tho
temperance societies. Judge Conrad’s rul
ing was what was expec:ed,and gives those
interested in the case an opportunity to get
the question before the highest tribunal in
tbe stato.
ON TRIAL UNDER THE FORGE BILL.
The Case Against Jackson and Hum
Dhreys on at Charleston.
Charleston, S. C., Nov. 11.—The trial
of the case of the United States vs. O. G.
Jackson and D. P. Humphreys began in tho
United States court to-day. It is the first
political case tried here siuce 1373, aud grew
out of the Tillmau-Haskell campaign in
1890. Most of tbe prominent citizens of
Florence county are witnesses. At Tim
momviUo during the campaign of E. 11,
Dens, the republican candidate for congress
from the Sixth district, the republicans
were holding a meeting. Tho defendants
interrupted it, and in the meleo Deas and
Col. Morris, the latter a prominent Haskell
ito, were cut by Jackson. The case is
brought under the force bill of the Revisod
Statutes of the United States. Ex-Judge
Milton represents the defendants. Tho caso
will probably go to the jury to-morrow or
next day.
Tunnelled Out of Prison.
Waupux, Wis. , Nov. 11.—Three life con
victs made their escape from tho state pen
itentiary to-day through a tunnel dug under
the buildings anl into tbe street that must
have taken years to dig, as It passed through
several walls of stone. Tho men are Robert
N. West, John Stagg and Eerd Kuaack.
West had been in prison twenty-two, Stagg
six aud Knack two years. Tho men were
employed in tto wash-room and began
tunneling In tho wall.
A Big Blaze at Slater.
Slater. Mo., Nov. 11. —Fire at an early
hour this morning destroyed tho Central
hotel ami a dozen business houses. The loss
is $77,000. The insurance is $27,900. Tne
guests and occupants of the building had a
narrow escape.
A BIG STORM IN ENGLAND
many sailing vessels lost
with them crews.
Life-Savers Perish While Attempting
to Rescue Sailors C.inglng to Their
Masts- Sailors Seen from Shore as
They Drop Exhausted Into the Sea.
Heavy Damage on Shore.
London, Nov. 11. —A heavy gale set in
last night in the south of England and Ire
land. As tbe night grow colder the wind
grew stronger, aud finally blew with hurri
cane force. A French sohooner was
wrecked near Hythe, one of the cinque
porta on the English channel. The crew
was saved, but the captain, his wife aud son
were drowned.
The iron ship Revenue, of over 1,000 tons
burdou, from London for Sydney, went
ashore near Sandgate. All were saved.
The storm has caused considerable dam
age throughout the southern counties of
Eugland aud Ireland. Rain has fallen in
large quantities. Telegraphic communica
tion has been interrupted to a great extent.
This interruption of the land wires seri
ously interferes with the transmission of
cable messages between England and the
United States.
The storm has extended northward and
now rages with great fury from Wick, on
the east coast eff Scotland, to the Scilly
islands in the English channel. This group
of islets numbers about 14U and constitutes
a constant menace to vossels during
stormy weather. A telegram received from
there says a sohooner has been wrecked.
The crew, however, wore save! A vessel
uained The Paramount has sunk off Lowes
tolf, in Suffolk. All bauds except two sail
ors were drowned. The two who were
saved owe their lives to tbo Lownstolf life
boat crew, who put out to their rescue.
HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE CERTAIN.
London, Nov. 11, 9 p, m. —Further de
tails of the great storm which is sweeping
over Knglaud am coming to hand, and there
is no doubt that the loss of life arising from
marine and other disasters will fully equal,
if not exceed, that which occurred during
tbe last great galo that visited the British
isles.
The Norwegian brig Solortia has been
wrecked at Studlaud, iu Dorset.
The fishing boat Star of the East, while
entering Lowestoff, crashed against tho
north pier and was wrecked. Six of her
crew were drowned. One mau was rescued,
but he died from exhaustion shortly after
ward.
The schooner Marguerite Marie, bound
for London, was caught iu tho hurricane
off Dungenoss and blown ashore and
wrecked.
The American schooner El Margaret was
wrecked at Cayman. No lives were lost.
It is believed that when the storm has
spent its force and a final estimate of tho
damage is made, it will tie found that the
losa is much greater thau that Incurred
through any storm that has prevailed here
for yeurs. The reports from the gaie-swept
districts are very slow in coming in, owing
to the almost complete paralyzatlon of the
telegraph linos, but the reports thus far re
ceived show that tho damage must be wide
spread and very hoavy.
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE IN LONDON.
In London the storm has done considera
ble damage. In many places, whero build
ings were in tbe oourse of ereotion, the
boarding in front of them was blown out
into tho streets, and temporarily' stopped
the passage of pedestrians and vehicles. A
number cf persons, whose business com
pelled them to be out of
doors, were badly injured by being
struck by falling signs that were blown
from their fastenings overhead. At
St. Leonards, the well known Sussex water
ing place, the bark Atncr is stranded and so
is the ship Plunger, at, Hastings. Tbo crow
aro lashed to the rigging. The life-saving
crew Is u mblo to reach them in the storm
and their only hope lies in its subsidence be
fore they become worn out. A dispatch
from Sandgate this afternoon says tho life
boat crew made another strenuous but
fruitless effort to reach tho Ben venue.
Some of the crew, exhausted by their
long exposure, became so weakened that
they found it impossible to longer cling to
the rigging and so were forced to let go.
They dropped into tho yeasty waters and
sank from sight. Others are still in tbe rig
ging. A crowd numbering thousands of
people is gathered along fhe shore interest
edly and sympathetically watching every
attempt that is made to save the lives of the
shipwrecked sailors, whose only hope of res
cue lies in the efforts of the gallant lifeboat
men.
Between Dover and Dungeness several
vessels are ashore, and all aloDg the shore
flags of distress are flying.
RIVERS OUT OK THEIR BANKS.
At Christchurch, a town situated at the
confluence of the rivers Stour and Avon,
twenty miles southwest of Southampton,
on the English channel, the rivers, swollen
by the excessively heavy rains whioh have
accompanied the gale, have overflowed their
banks The rising waters flooded tbe coun
try in the vicinity of Christcburoh, and
part of the town itself Is Inundated. The
damage to fishing boats and other small
craft employed in the local coastwise trade
is large.
The rivers in the midland oounttes are
rapidly rising, and it is feared that there
will be a general repetition of the floods of
a few weeks ago, which have prevented
farmers from working.
LIFE-SAVERS LOST.
Part of the crow of the life-saving crew
at Hythe, while engaged in the work of
rescuing a shipwrecked crew, wero swept
from their boat and drowned.
At Dungeness, a foreign bark went ashore
and the lifeboat men started gallantly to
the rescue of her endangered crew.’ A
tremendously heavy sea was running, and
the lifeboat broached to. Once in the
trough of tho sea she capsized and all bands
wont overboard. Five of tho crew were
swept away bofore they could grasp the
life lines on tho sides of the boat and though
they wore cork jackets, they were lost. The
other men succeeded In righting their boat
aud scrambling into her.
At Deal a fishing boat was capsized and
two of her crew were drowned. Tho samo
fate is feared for others, as hundreds of
fishing vessels put out yesterday. The
storm is now abating.

could not regain tho place they started
from, and had to continue to Folkestone,
where they arrived safely. Teen it was

Bourne by the terrific storm and many hair
breadth escapes from death or serious Injury
are reported from all parts of the place.

To-night the weather is clear and calm
and the gale has apparently subsided.
Many stories are being told of tbe heroism
displayed by the life-boat crews and coast
ing guards, through whose gallant efforts
many seamen whos< vessels went down in
the galo were brought safely to shore.
THE FATALITIES APPALLING.
Notwithstanding the heroism of the life
saving crews aud the ooast guards the num
ber of fatalities has already reaohed au ap
palling figure, and from many points where
the storm raged most fiercely no tidings
bavo boon received, the service across tbe
channel having been almost entirely sus
pended.
1 >uring the night the Dover nnd Calais
boats were obliged to anchor in the
roads tor safety. Tho sea
was rolling very heavily inside
Dover harbor, making It extremely perilous
for a vessel to outer.

but the captain positively deolined to take
passengers on board.

tho massive sea wall at South Sea being
partially destroyed.

London, Nov. 11. —A dispatch from
Santiago, Chile, which reached London this
nftornoon by way of the Andes mountains,
declares that President Fonseca lias not oon
tentod himself with striot enforcement of
the press consorship. lie has now gone one

press or conservative publio opinion.
minister montt notified.
Washington, Nov. 11.—The first Intima
tion the Biazilian minister here has re
ceived of the reported secession of some of
the provinces in Brazil was in tbe form of
an unofficial dispatch to-day to the effect
that it was i eported in Rio that tho state of
Kio Graude do Sul had renounced all
allegiance to tho government and had
seceded. As this dispatch came from a re
liable source the minister believes, in the
aksonce of any contradictory statement
from his government, that the province has
revolted. The minisli r stated to-night that
if the province hod seceded there was not
the least chance of the revolt
extending to the other states of tho ropub
lio; that tho government of Brazil was as
stable as this government, and that there
need be no fear of a general revolution. The
disaffection in tho province of Rio Grande
do Sul, he said, was probably due to the
members of the dissolved congress repre
senting that part of the country, who en
deavored to causo dissension among the
people Pecanss of the dissolution of con
gress. The financial condition of the repub
lic, the minister said, was firm and there
was nothing to cause a revolution.

telegram received here says Rio Grande do
Sul is now entirely in the bands of the
seceders. Tho military have given their

ERIN'S FUND IN PARIS.
Dublin’s National Press Criticizes Mrs.
Parnell's Course.
Duiilin, Not. 11. —The National Press,
the organ of the McCarthyite wlug of the
Irish parliamentary party, to-day published
an article relative to the Paris fund, of
which the late Mr, Parnell was one of the
trustees. When Mr. Parnell died bis
wife, as ono of his heirs,
became empowered to act 'in
connection with the fund and one of the
first moves was to instruct the baukers of
Paris to retain possession of tho money. The
Sational TYess looks with much bitterness
upou the course pursued in relation to this
money, which was originally intended to be
devoted to the relief of tenants evicted
under the plan of campaign
and charges that the with
holding of the fund is tbe result of an un
derstanding between Henry Harrison, mem
ber of tbe House of Commons for the Mid
dle division of Tipperary, who was one of
Mr. Parnell’s most ardent and devoted sup
porters, and Mrs. ParuolL The paper says:
“Tho conspiracy between Mr. Harrison,
who declared the plan of campaign, aud
Mrs. O’Shea to keep food from the evicted
tenants is the most shameful incident in our
history.”
