Both are the direct result of the severe storm which swept along the Atlantic coast Sunday night. Every one of the fifteen cr twenty Islands lying around Port Royal and Beaufort are steeped In sorrow. On ev ery door knob there is a bunch of crepe, and upon every hillside there are fresh made fgraves, some already filled, while others are awaiting the bodies that will be deposited ,«n them Just as soon as some one can be found to do the kind Christian act of shoveling the dirt upon At Cain's Neck t\rt»nty*two bodies have been burled and refjorts are that sev enty-nine lives w ere lost there On the Eustls place, one of the richest plan tation*: on Ladles’ Island, fortv-nine now-made graves were filled yesterday morning. At the other end of Ladies Island seven dead bodies have been found. At Dawtha Island, u place of about 1,200 acres, eighty are reported drowned. Nearly half that many have been recovered. A citizens’ meeting was held this morning to hurry the work of cleaning up the town and another committee with Collector of Customs Robert Small as chairman, to Issue a public appeal to the country, was formed, Col- lector Small conflremd the sad stroy or death and devastation.

On the island of St. Helena, proverbial for thrift and enterprise, over ISO have been reported drowned. From everywhere comes news of houses having been swept away and crops totally destroyed. The sea islands are the homes chiefly of ne groes. who, by their thrift and indus try, have made themselves homes with none to molest or to mike them afrnid. In one night all lias been swept away. They are now homeless and almost na ked.

D< a ad Mottle* Every Hour, There has not been an hour of any day since the early hours of Monday morn ing that a dead body has not been found at some point on one of the many islands. The waters receded, and os the people moved deeper.into the wreckage gathered by the storm the ghastly pictures are un- era are full of the flotsam and Jotuam of the disaster. Advices from the sea- coast may be summed up in the follow ing extracts from the Charleston pa pers: The long staple cotton has met wilh a severe injury and the «Mhnat«« are that where in former years Charleston receivd 10,000 bales of sea island cotton covered. So frequent are the discoveries this y*tar she will do well to get 3,000 that the finding of a single body attracts bales.

Mr. Robinson of Kerrison's establish' tnent gives tm- foUuwiu* story of the effects of the storm in the iow country: He had Joel arrived from Waiierboro at a glance, and making out to seaward for a considerable distance turned the vessel’s nose Into the eye of the cy clone and cast out their anchors. The captain said she breasted the water like a duck and was not injured lti the least when the storm had sub sided, and as soon as the wind had partially lulled he turned her Into the St. John's and made his dock In Jack sonville in perfeot safety. His return trip was uneventful, except for the evidences of the storm which were wit nessed at several points. The watering place which, stands at the mouth of the St. John’s river is a perfect wreck and all along the banks of the stream the damage was appar ent. The passengers did not think that the coast of Florida had sustained nearly so much loss as the coast of South Carolina. Inquiry at the Clyde line offices elic ited little Information regarding the other missing steamer, the Yemacsoo. further than the bare etatement that she had left her dock in New York Saturday afternoon. Even her passen ger list Is unknown. She should have arrived In Charleston at 7 o'clock In morning of the 29th. making her forty- eight hours over due. The officials, though quite naturally anxious to have some intelligence of the vessel and the crew and passengers, are not alarmed for her safety. They do not think the delay necessarily alarming.

Then the vote re curred upon Mr. Springer's amendment as ame ided, and it was also adopted: 102 to 58. llositner’s Cloture Proposition, Mr. Beatncr offered an amendment which practically puts it in rho power of any member who is in charge ot any proposition pn the floor to propose clo ture ut any time that he thinks It ad visable to do so. This amendment was debated, the concensus of opinion being against its adoption. The speeches were brief, not consuming more than five minutes apiece. Mr. Wilson of West Virginia made the strongest remarks against the proposition. It was not, he maintained, that the majority should be protected. The protection should bo given to the minority. The democratic idea always bad bceu that the fewer laws made the better it would be for the country. A wise man once said htat the best laws that had ever been made had been laws to repeal previous en actments. (Applause and laughter.) Mr. Boatner, in advocating his amend ment. said that it was I ho majority and not the minority that asked for protec tion. The minority should not be per mitted to fillibustcr any measure to death. The previous question was orlefed on the amendment, and pending further action, at 4:50 the house adjourned.

' The most -telling parts of 1t and those that interested the hearera most were some humorous and sarcas tic touches in which t*j depicted the conversion of Democratic si.ateame.i from their belief in silver and their de votion to bimetallism to the gold mono metallism faith of the preaktint. At it'hc close of Senator Walcott's speech notice was given by Senator Mills that he would ask the senate next i W ednesday to hear aonm remarks from ui'i, vu the repeal util. ir.-ry’A atalitrn Speech. Then the floor waa token by Senator Cattery of Louisiana. His maiden speech in the senate was In favor of the uncon ditional repeal of tbe purchasing clause of the Sherman act. He warned the senator from Colorado (Wolcott) that expected to smile away The eerSoue money trouble* of the country as •Carvante* bud from Spain, he was doomed to signal failure. Senator Oaffery argued that if fro-, coinage were established: at the ratio of sixteen to one the objoet of having both metal* would b« defeated, for the country would surely have noth ing hut silver. If alt twenty to one the same result would occur, ae silver was worth but twenty-right to one. If the ratio should be twenty-eight to one there would be a cold or silver bate, according as the gold or silver was over valued. The alternative of a silver i-tvndirtl was not To be thought of.

Though sorely tempted, she refused in 1179 to repudiate Ihe prin cipal < f her bonded debt. Now Ihe se ductive offer was made to debase the tional currency, but her senators on i- floor, true to their convictions and oir trust, had put aside the propoai tlon. It might be his fate to feel tem porarily the weight of Ihe forces of inflation. It might be that the star of Lis political life, just rising above the horizon, would be eclipsed In darkness by reason of his vote, but come what might, he should stand *ast to a deep conviction that ho would be recreant to his duty and his oath should he add one pang of poverty or one tear to want -hould he give the people a currency that would refuse to give to toil Ita re compense or to capital Its reward.
