WORSE AND WORSE.

Terrible Results of the Groat Storm on the Gulf Coast.

TWO THOUSAND LIVES SACRIFICED.

More Than Half the Population

ID

NEW OSMANB, Oct. 5. Over 2,000 killed and nearly 15,000,000 of property annihilated Is the record of the great gulf storm in Louisiana. There has never been anything approximating it since the country was settled. More than half the population in the region over .which the hurricane swept are dead. Everything IU wrecked and not a house in ten is left standing, while the survivors are left in the most destitute oonditlon, without food or even clothing, for most of them were sleeping in their beds when thetT houses todre crushed by the wind or the waves. There have been several similar disasters on the coast At Lost island, where 380 people lost th«tr lives, and at Johnson's bayou the lost numbered 220 six years ago, but Monday's disaster far surpasses these in horror. The weak and injured were all killed, and iu the settlements where the storm was worst not a child survived and very few women. The survivors are the young men in the vigor of manhood. Not one of them but has a terrible story to tell not one but is badly bruised and injured. They escaped mainly on rafts or logs, floaving for twenty to minety hours in the water, with the wind at 115 miles an hour.

Finhtng Vessels Lost.

At the time the storm visited Chemie Canunada U0 fishing vessels were iu the gulf fishing, £«ot a word has siaoe been heard 4rom them or their occupants. Along the Mississippi the loss of life was to some extent due to falling buildings. In the bay it was caused wholly by drowning. The pecuniary damage, while heavy, is not as large as might have been expected, as the sugar plantations and the richer portions of Plaquemine parish were not worsted by the storm, and it was the smaller farms tftid fishing settlements which Buffered most. The damage is now estimated as follows:

Total damage, $4,420,000. The total loss on oranges is 76 per cent., while do percent, of the orange trees were killed or blown down.

At Bayou Cook.

There is to-day 9pb- sadness the news bom Bayou OioU and tfea vakoui statements that are tributary thereto. There has been a frightful loss of life throughout that section. Houses have been blown to pieces and smacks destroyed and wrecked. There will never be any means of correctly estimating the exact ioss which humanity has suffered. Many of the bodies have been carried into the marshes and will never be found. Perhaps some of these are still living, but without food and water they will be likely to perish unless assistance is sent them.

Strewn with Bodies.

Train orewa arriving on the Grand Island rqad say that the track is strewn with bodies, and that a large number have already been buried. The country is a scene of wreck and devastation. An arriving passenger said that no fewer than eighty-seven dead bodies were seen along the route. He said he had witnessed horrowing scenes throughout the Bayou Cook country, and the news received is to the effect that the distress is appalling. The trains that arrived Wednesday morning brought many of the Bayou Cook survivors to this city, many of them wretchedly attired end their faces bearing marks of fearful suffering. There were men, women and children in the party and they were met at the depot by fellow countrymen and brought to the city, where they received kind attention and treatment.

All Italian, and Austrian..

The population on Bayou Cook consisted of nearly all men—Italians and Austrians. There were few, if any, negroes in the settlement Anthony Negovitch came direct from Bayou Cook. He said that during the height of the storm he saw his wife swept by him, appealing piteously for help. He was unable to extend her helping hand and she perished. He witnessed scores of people drown about him, men and women, whom he had known all his life. Many qf them did not drown, but were dashed against their houses and their lives were crushed out. Others perished in the destruction of their homes.

A Sad Bight.

At Grand bayou not less than twentysix perished. One of the saddest sights witnessed by a party of survivors wua

the bodies of three women lashed to a plank and being buffeted about by the waves. They were floating in Graud lake, which is the entrance to Grand isle. A log was floating between tho bodies, and from that appeared to be the body of a boy.

Saw Bl. family Perish.

George Sigorovlteh saw his wife and children perish before him while the water stood up to his chin. The mother had one child on her back and the father another. A third shifted for herself. The mother and babe and the third child were lost, but the man succeeded in climbing to the top of a cabin and saved himself. These instances of loss of life were multiplied in every locality.

Terrible Distress.

A later account from a correspondent near the *cene says a rough estimate is that 400 to 500 have been saved out of a population of 1,800 on the Cheniere. The distress existing there Is terrible. The Chinese faotory at Bayou Andre was totally destroyed and not one of the Chinese oolony escaped. There were not more than ten of them at the place. Another Chinese shrimp canning factory at Bayou Defond was destroyed and all the Chinamen killed.

Will Never Be Known.

It will never be known accurately how many were loet tn the storm. The mighty waveo swept with such force over the land.andjat such'a great depth that it la probable many bodies and perhaps many who are still living were carried into the marshes. The total loes of life at the two islands is now placed at between 1,5*0 and 2,000.

Organising flat Belief.

New Orleans is taking active measures to relieve the destitution. The Red Cross society has reorganized for the ocoaslon. The Slavonian society, a good number whose members are drowned, sent out expedition with medloine and provisions and with instructions to spare no money in succoring the liviof and burying the dead. A volunteer movement of Second and Third district citizens will send two boats to the stricken section. The wind and waves destroyed all the provisions upon Chenire island and swept away all the cisterns of the residents. The result is that fresh water is so scarce that it is not sufficient to relieve the thirst of the hundreds who are now without anything to eat and scarcely anything to wear.

HALF A MILLION.

Railroad. Preparing to Bring Thl. Number of Feople to the Fair. CHICAGO, Oct. 5.—Fully four hundred thousand strangers will be In Chicago Monday next to participate in the celebration of Chicago day. Of these nearly 850,000 will come from points more than 80 miles from this city. They will come from every point of the compass and In large numbers from the Atlantic eoast on the east and Denver at least on the west. This attendance is no longer a matter of speculation. It is an assured fact as far as anything can be that has not ac tually happened. Bvery one of the twenty passenger roads running into Chicago has positive information that every coach of every description it can command will be in actual use for the three days, October 7, 8 and 9. If the roads did nothing more than they are now doing every day in the week more than 200,000 will be brought in on the three days named, which, added to the 150,000 strangers already here, would give 845,000 visitors for Chicago day.

COMPROMISE DEMANDED.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.—In the senate Wednesday a resolution was offered by Senator Morgan, which went over, instructing the judiciary committee to consider and report what provisions of the law of 1837 (the free-coinage act) are still in force.

Butler hays Compromise.

The silver purchase repeal bill was taken up and Senator Butler (dem., S. C.) addressed tho senate against it. He replied to Senator Palmer's remarks of Tuesday criticising the senate for its action. He said the minority on the repeal question was not attempting to coerco anybody, but that it did not intend to be coerced by anybody. The senate was not a town meeting, but was a great deliberative body, intended to put a veto upon hasty, unwlso and improper legislation. It hail been asked: What was to be done? His reply was "compromise." Compromise is the solution. It had been said that the president of the United States was interfering^ with legislation, and that whenever compromise was spoken of the statement was made that the president would not compromise. "Whoever states that," said Senator Butler, emphatically, "does that high official great injustice, because it is none of his business what the senate does. 1 don't believe that he has attempted to use his high otfloe to influence the senate improperly."

Blaakburu Inliiuoui. Hlm.elf. Senator Blackburn then addressed the senate iu opposition to the repeal bill. He was not, he said, the friend or apologist of the Sherman act. But. bad as the measure was, unfair and uncandid as he believed it to be, he did not believe it had been the cause of the financial woes which the country suffered, nor did he believe that its repeal would prove that panacea for all the financial ills under which the country was struggling. He did not wish to see the country put upon a single standard. He was as much opposed to a single silver standard as he was to a single gold standard. He declared an international standard of value was a myth. There never had been, never would be and never needed to be an international standard of value. The trouble lay further back than the Sherman law. The tariff system of the country needed revision, and the financial system needed overhauling. He stood here to-day to advocate both those necessary woi'is. oMr. Call Oppu.c. the Bill.

Mr. Call (dem., Fla.) then spoke on the pending bill, and declared his opposition to its passage, unless coupled with a provision for the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1.

At 5:30 the senate, after a short exexecutive session, adjourned. In the Uou.o.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.—There was an interesting colloquy In. the house Wednesday growing out of a favorable report by the banking and currency committee on a bill to prevent bank ofi ficerB from making loans to themselves out of the revenues of the institutions with which they are connected. Incidentally Messrs. Cannon (111.) and Burrows (Mich.) were drawn into the debate.

The Hepeal Meaeare.

The federal eleotion repeal bill was then taken up and Mr. Cotnpton (dem.. Md.) advocated the measure. He denied the statements made by republicans that the minority of voters in the south controlled the action of the majority. lie quoted from statistics to show (on the other hand) that in the New England states there was a majority of democratic voters, but there were few democratic members in congress from that section.

Mr. Boutelle (rep., Me.) denied this statement and got into an angry colloquy with Compton in regard to the matter.

The President Criticised..

Mr. Sweet (rep., Idaho) opposed the passage of the bill and then entered upon a criticism of President Cleveland. The refusal of that officer to enforce the Sherman silver law and the Geary Chinese exclusion law was without parallel in the history of the United States. No public ofllcer had ever been impeached for a more reckless violation of law. He ridiculed the letter of the president to Gov. Northen—nominally to the governor but really to congress—and declared that it merely said: "I want," 'I wish," "1 order," "I demand, "I am Sir Oracle, and when I ope my mouth let no dog bark." [Laughter.] He then went on to speak upon the silver question, opposed unconditional repeat of the Sherman law and eulogized the silver senators for their fight against the money power and administration patronoge.

A Colored Man*. View..

Mr. Murray, the republican colored man from South Carolina, spoke against the bill. In his state, before any man could vote in democratic primaries, he must deolare that he had been a democrat since 1870. The repeal of the federal election laws would, he said, open the floodgates of fraud and violence.

Bill, and Re.olutlou.

The house judiciary committee has authorized a report of a joint resolution restoring the personal property and money of the Mormon church.

Mr. Fithian (111.) introduced a bill whioh provides for the absolute repeal of the oivil-servloe act and all amendments thereto.

A resolution calling for Information on suspended pernios cases presented by Mr. Lacey (la.) was favorably repotted.

THE SILVER ISSUE.

Strong Resolutions Adopted at tho Bimetallic Convention.

DEMANDS OF THE FRIENDS OF SILVER

dov. Stone Speak. In Faror of Free Coinage of the White Metal-The furtliur Jnbu* of (ioviTiiiupnt llond. Opposed.

FOB FIIKE COINAOK."

Sr. Lor is, Oct. 5.—The bimetallic convention on Wednesday listened to several addresses upon the silver issue, the principal one being delivered by Gov. Stone, of Missouri. lie suid ho was in favor of the maintenance of the existing ratio of lit to 1. Indeed, if it were not for tho fact that largo quantities of silver were already coined and that debts were contracted upon that basis, he would favor a reduction to 15^ to 1. Any change in the ratio meant a payment of debt in different amount from that tn which it was contracted, lie expressed the conviction that the supply of silver, instead of becoming too great for the demand, would actually prove too small. Turning to the use of money in commerce, he held, despite the contention that the use of a double standard would, result in the cheaper money driving the dearer out despite this contention cash did not actually figure iu International transactions beyond a limited extent. The money stayed in its own country, transactions being carried on by bills of exchange, which met and balanced each other, or nearly so, the balances only being payable in cash and the exportation of that cash so affecting exchange rates as to stimulate exportation of commodities, thus changing the balance.

The Revolution..

When Gov. Stone closed, the committee on resolutions announced its readiness to report, which it did through Its chairman, Gov. Tillman, of South Carolina, as follows:

Whereas, We believe In giving full and equal legal leader power to every dullar bearing the stamp of the government wbtch alone glv.y a money value and,

Whereas, The gold and silver produced In the mine, of tbe United States are necessary for tb. requirement, ot the country for coin. It is ei.entlal tbat congre.s takes such aotlon relative to tho coinage of the two money metals, as will restore silver to the position It held In 1873 It 1. therefore

Resolved, That we demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the e.tabllsbed ratio of 16 to 1, giving to such coin equal legal tender power, wltb goldi and

Resolved, That we are unalterably oppoaed to the repeal of the so-called Sherman law, except by the passags of a law srorldlng for the tree and unlimited colaage of silver at the established ratio of IS to 1.

Other resolutions oppose the further issue of government bonds, urge a closer alliance between the west and the south, and demand the 6peedy improvement of all great western and southern waterways. The resolutions ware reoeived with great applause and adjournment taken.

HEAVY LOSS AT MOBILE.

Beenlta of the Tornado That Swept the City and Vicinity. MODILB, Ala., Oot. S. Reports of damage by Monday's storm are oomlng in slowly. Railroads, shipping and mills are the heaviest losers, the amount aggregating nearly 11,000,000. The loss of human life cannot be estimated.

A relief expedition to this section found a group of little children ollnglng to trees and their parents swept away. One house crossed the bay a distanoe of IS miles and landed on the tracks of the Louisville A Nashville railroad. Furniture was scattered about and on the floor was the family savings, 1105.
