A BROAD HINT TO ENGLAND.
EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE
APPEALED TO IS.
Alleged Interview With Member of
Roosevelt’* Cabinet to Be Pub
lished in English Magazine—Los*
of England's Influence From Side
of Justice and Progress—Foreign
Representatives Urging Us to
Take Some Step.
London, Nov. 25.—Sir Thomas Wem
jf.? Reid, the author and editor, in
8 n article, entitled. “A Message From
America." in the December number of
the Nineteenth Century, will quote one
of the most distinguished members of
the cabinet as saying:
•'[ do not think you in England
realize the depth of feeling that ex
ists outside of your own country on
the subject of the South African war,
nor the extreme gravity of the sit
uation which that feeling has brought,
into existence. I am not speaking of
American feeling, which is largely on
jour side, but the more friendly wo
are to England, the more anxious wo
arf to see you extricated from the
mashes of the net in which you are
now caught. It is terrible to think of
the pitifulness of the whole thing and
of the loss suffered by universal hu
manity. owing to the effacement of
England for two years and the conse
quent absence of her influence from
the side of justice and progress.”
Sir Thomas further says the mem
ber of the cabinet In question told
him that almost daily appeals were be
ing made to the government, of the
T'nited States, by representatives of
European Powers to take some steps
to end the war. These representa
tions from the ministers of the Pow
ers were made unofficially, although
the United States government well
knew their respective governments
hacking them therein.
LOSS WILL REACH $1,000,000.
Morin Damage ia Vicinity of New
York Greater Than First Eetl
mateil.
New York, Nov. 25.—Ttie great storm
which came speeding up from the
south on Saturday night has spent its
forces in this zone of the Atlantic coast
and the waters driven up on lowland
and beach are subsiding. A more
careful survey of the stormswept
coast indicates that the aggregate
damage will exceed the general es
timates of yesterday. Hundreds of
small craft were wrecked or badly
damaged, wharves and piers at every
exposed point were battered down,
many seaside resorts were unroofed,
lowlands were flooded, city cellars were
tilled and hundreds of town houses
were damaged.
Estimates of the aggregate damage
run slightly below and considerably
above $1,000,600. Down at Monmouth
Beach, where tlhe big German ship
Elottbek drove ashore and where there
was a thrilling rescue of her crew by
life savers, an angry sea was still beat
ing up on the beach to-day. Wreckers
have been, engaged, but until the sea
calms, nothing can be done toward
saving the ship and her cargo. The
big craft, firmly embedded in the
sand, was still Intact, and Capt. Zm
gler, her master, wiho watched her from
Ihe life saving station, was sure that
both vessel and cargo would be saved.
Storm-bound shipping was released
early to-day. but sea coast railway and
trolley service will limp until wash
outs are filled in. Linemen were busy
restoring prostrated telegraph and tel
ephone wires to-day, but It will Bea
couple of days before these services are
completely restored.
MORE DAMAGE REPORTED.
Wealthy New Yorker* Find Their
Summer Houses Ruined.
New York, Nov. 25.—Reports of the
damage done by the storm of Saturday
night and Sunday continue to come In.
Details from points on the Jersey coast,
the southern coast of Long Island, and
the upper shore of Long Island Sound,
show that the destruction was wide-,
spread and the monetary loss much
heavier than at first supposed.
Long Branch reports to-night show
that hardly a building there escaped
some damage- As evidence of the
force of the wind a plank about 20 feet
long 7 Inches, wide, and 2 inches thick,
was torn from the roof of the pier
pavilion and blown across Ocean ave
nue. It struck the Lenox Hotel end
on and was driven into the side of the
building to a depth of four or five
feet.
The wreck of the tflgHaddon at Long
Branch is complete. The ship Flottbek
stands almost upright in the sand. The
work of unrigging her commenced to
day. Sne will be unloaded as she lies.
This will be comparatively easy. AH
ihat will be needed will be to back
wagons up to her sides at low water
and load the cargo Into them.
The railroads are gradually getting
their tracks in working order, but at
sum places no trains have yet been
run.
Besides the loss resulting from stop
page of traffic it will take many thou
■ ands of dollars to repair the breaks.
Temporary repairs are being made as
fast as possible
The wealthy New Yorkers who have
summer houses on the upper shore of
ihe sound to-day visited them to find
wreck and ruin in all directions. The
shore improvements are In ruins, while
fine shade trees are laid low and ex
tensive lawns piled high with sand and
w reckage.
Reports still conic in from points in
New Jersey on Wtaten Island Sound

CUBANS SEE THE PRESIDENT.
Immediate Tariff Redaction Sought
as Urgent Necessity.
Washington, Nov. 25. A delegation
of Cubans called upon the President to
day and presented a petition adopted
by the industrial organizations of the
island, urging upon his attention the
necessity of reduction in the .American
tariff upon Cuban products, particular
ly upon sugar and tobacco. The Sec
reatry of War and other officials also
were called upon.
After stating in a general avay the
economic situation in the island, the
petition asks for a number of reduc
tions in the American tariff on Cuban
prodqcts. These have heretofore been
published.
The petition goes on to say that the
economical situation in which the isl
and of Cuba is placed is such that
the remedies asked for admit of no
delay.
The petition concludes as follow':
"We. therefore, respectfully entreat
you, either by virtue of the constitu
tional authority vested in you. or by
requesting Congress in your first mes
sage to grant you the necessary au
thority to immediately establish amr le
commercial privileges between the
United States—the almost exclusive
market for our products—and Cuba,
based on the foregoing petition, as a
measure of urgent necessity and indis
pensable for the salvation of the isl

STOC K LAW KNOCKED OUT.
——*
Kansan* Charge* on Stork in Tarda
in That State Invalid.
Washington. Nov. 25.—1n the 1 United
States Supreme Court to-day a.n opin
ion was handed down in the case of
Cottlng and Hlgginson against A. A.
Godard, attorney general of the state
of Kansas and the Kansas City Stock
Yards Company, involving the validity
of the state la\v of Kansas, empower
ing the state authorities to fix rates
of charges on stock in stock yards in
that state. The decree of the Circuit
Court, which upheld the law, was re
versed. Cotting and Hlgginson were
stockholders in the Stock Yards Com
pany. and soon after the law went into
effect, in 1897. filed a bill to restrain
the officers of the company from com
plying with the act and the
attorney general from enforc
ing Its provisions on the ground
that such compliance or enforcement
would deprieve the company of its
property without due process of law.
It was also contended that the act was
class legislation. The Circuit Court
dismissed the bill of complaint and an
appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court.
It was claimed on behalf of the
stock yards company that the enforce
ment of the law- would have had the
effect of reducing the receipts of the
company one-half.

CAROLINA DOCTORS AT OUTS.
| STATE BOARD TO TEST THE “PET
INSTITUTION” LAW.
Dr. J. C. Moon of Marlboro Arrested
for Practlaing Without a License.
He Is One of the. Recent Gradu
ate* of the Charleston Medical
College for AA'hoae Benefit It I*
Claimed the Law Enacted nt the
Last Session of the Legislator*
Was Passed.
Columbia. S. C .'Nov. 25.—A ripple of
excitement was created throughout the
state on Wednesday when It. was
learned that Dr. James C. Moore, a
prominent young physician, had been
arrested in Marlboro county, charged
with practicing medicine and surgery
without a license. He was arraigned
before Trial Justice Crossland for a
preliminary hearing, but on account of
extra Judicial statement made by the
justice the case, upon affidavit of the
defendant, was transferred to Justice
Easterling, who proved to be a relative
of the accused and was thus debarred
from hearing the case.
Dr. J. L. Napier, chairman of the
State Board of Medical Examiners,
was the one who swore out the war
rant and it was he, who at this junc
ture, went before the grand jury and
made a formal complaint. A special
presentment was made to the court
which waa then in session, and the
next morning Solicitor J. M. Johnson
gave out a formal bill of Indictment.
This week the young man w’as to ap
pear in court to answer to the indict
ment.
Apparently tills was a simple case,
but behind It all there is a story which
is of intense Interest to the entire med
ical fraternity In this state.
The General Assembtly of South Car
olina, at its last session, passed an act,
a part, of w'hieh reads as follows:
‘‘Nothing in this section shall apply to
regular graduates holding diplomas Is
sued by any college of established rep
utation in this state which has a. four
coure of Instruction and a stan
dard of not less lhan 75 per cent, on
examination, and make satisfactory ev
idence of their standing to the State
Board of Examiners.”
There is only oue medical college In
South Carolina, and it is known as the
Charleston Medical College, located at
Charlenton. This law was enacted In
behalf of this particular institution,
which was regarded by many as being
on Its “last legs.” The faculty in
duced the General Assembly to pass
this act, knowing that it would
be the means of attracting
students to come to them, who,
under other circumstances would seek
other colleges outside this state. A
long, bitter fight was made against
the bill but it passed by a small ma
jority. Dr. Moore was a member of the
class of 1961, which graduated from this
“pet" institution and he and the other
thirty members claimed exemption
from examination before the state
board of medical examiners and im
mediately entered upon the practice of
thejr profession. One member, how
ever, Dr. Miahoe of Sumter, appeared
before the board and stood a creditable
examination but the others ignored It.
This matter came up before the
Medical Association, which met at
Florence last, summer, and the action
of the General Assembly was severely
criticised by nearly every member
save the former graduates of the
Charleston Medical College.
This is a. test case, and the am
biguity of the wording of the act
makes it difficult to comprehend. The
state board has no means of ascertain
ing the fitness of graduates save by
an examination, and the pubile demand
that, their lives shall not be endangered
by incompetent practitioners, and see
no reason why the Charleston College
graduates should thus be favored.
The class has employed ex-Gov. John
C. Shepard to defend them whenever
prosecuted, and he is now in Bennetts
ville to aid T. W. Bouchler. Esq., who
is also employed by Dr. Moore. The
State Medical Board has retained Col.
Knox Livingston to aid Solicitor John
son in the prosecution. If Dr. Moore
is convicted then the other members of
the class stand liable to indictment on
the same charge.
MIXERS' CONVENTION TO-DAY.
Determined Effort to Organize West
Virginia Miners to Be Made.
Huntington, W. Va., Nov. 25.—Dele
gates are arriving to-night for the
state miners’ convention, which meets
to-morrow. It is apparent that, this Is
the most important convention which
the United Mine Workers have held in
this state for years. The delegates
will have a convention to-morrow and
on Wednesday they expect to meet the
operators of the state in conciliatory
conference. Should the operators fait
to meet the miners, they may take an
aggressive course in dealing with the
situation in West Virginia. Many of
the National Mine Workers' officials
are expected to be here to-morrow.
President Mitchell and other national
officers will attend. The United Mine
Workers have met. with considerable
discouragement in Northern West Vir
ginia. by the indisposition on the part
of the miners to identify themselves
with the organization. Owing to the
situation in West Virginia the operators
have been able to sell coal in markets
where other operators have failed, and
Illinois operators have said that they
will spend money to see West Virginia
organized.

A HUGE FARCE AT SAMOA.
The Tilley t’onrtmartial Evidently
Entlrely Unnecessary.
(Correspondence of Associated Press.)
Tituila, Nov. 12, via Sain Francisco,
Nov. 25. —On the morning of Nov. 5 the
United States steamship Wisconsin ar
rived in tlhe harbor. It was announced
that Admiral Silas Casey had been or
dered to Pago-Pago to convene a court
martial on Capt. B. F. Tilley, the com
mandant of the station. The news was
received with great surprise by the Sa
moan people. On Nov. 6 the Sonoma ar
rived with Capt, Tilley and Mrs. Tilley
on board. Upon landing at the custom
house there was a large crowd to meet
the captain, who was loudly cheered
by whites and natives. Capt. Tilley
at once resumed his office as comman
dant.
The Solace arrived on Nov. 7 with
Admiral Evans and the officers of the
court-martial. On the same day Capt,
Tilley was formally served with a copy
of the charges and specifications and
was ordered to deliver up his sword.
The trial of Capt. Tilley began on
Saturday. Nov. 9. The most important
witness was Dr. Blackwell. He testi
fied that he once saw Capt. Tilley lying
down outside his cabin door undergo
ing a Samoan massage treatment.
This treatment is very common here
with whites as well as native chiefs.
The prosecution closed its case on
Monday, Nov. 11. rather earlier than
was expected. The trial is expected to
close to-morrow. It appears that Ad
miral Casey, after due investigation,
dropped the charges of maladministra
tion against Capt. Tilley.
THE MARINE COl RTMARTIAL.
Relatioua Among Office r Seem Not
of the Beat.
New Torn, Novi. 25. —When the
Meade court-martial was resumed at
the navy yard, Brooklyn, to-day, E.
M. Beals and George W. Hastings,
members of the Puritan Club of Bos
ton, were called as witnesses. They
testified that Maj. C. H. Lauehheimer
had acted- properly when at the club
in 1897.
Col. Frank Lee Denny took the stand
after Maj. Charles H. Lauehheimer
had corrected his testimony, and was
utyler direct examination for the re
mainder of the morning -session. Lieut.
Niblack, the judge advocate, introduc
ed as evidence the report of a board of
survey on the barracks of January,
last. The report contradicted Col.
Denny's testimony on many points in
connection with the condition of the
barracks.
When asked by Lieut. NihUo k why
Col Meade was not placed in charge,
of the repair work on the marine bar
racks at Brooklyn. Col. Deny declined
to answer, saying that his answer
would be uncomplimentary to Col.
Meade.
Col. Denny testified that he had no
improper financial relations with archi- '
tects or contractors engaged on the re- [
pair work. He also denied knowledge
of conspiracy against. Col. Meade. Col.
Deny was cross-examined at length,
the defense seeking to show thafc-there
were irregularities in the repair work.

ELBERT WALLER DISCHARGED.
Hi* Relation* With Mr*. Dale Not
Such a* to Offend Public Moral*.
New York, Nov. 25.—Elbert Waller,
who was arrested on a charge of sus
taining Improper relations with Mrs.
Elizabeth Howe Dale, was to-night
discharged from custody by Recorder
Stanton of Hoboken. The discharge
was obtained under a ruling of the
New Jersey Supreme Court which
holds that in such relations as were
