rcoplewas not ended until the fire on tb oce?.n torraco bad consumed the wrecked When the high-tide of Tuesday struck the frail dwellings along- Mediterranean," Baltic anu Arctic avenues, a stampede for life besran. In one instance a woman was carried by her two stalwart brothers to a place of safety. In another a mother and father, observing the first law of nature, self-preservation, deserted their babe in tho cradle, and on returning later in a boat found the little one dean. 3Ien swam out from the Hooded homes, bearing in their arms their babies, wives, mothers or sisters. Boats plied to and fro, carrying weeping women and terrified children from houses to high ground. No effort was made to save personal property, so sudden and unexpected was the terrible nso in the Hood on the meadows. Horses were drowned in their stables and chickens by the hundreds were drowned and their bodies strewn all along the cross avenues. Dozens of houses were picked up bodily by the waves, thrown across the railroad tracks or carried squares away from their original location. Some of them were taken far out op the meadows and tossed around like corks. Late on Tuesday night the shrill whistle of a steamer wan heard above the roaring of the aarf. She came ashore opposite Arkansas avenue, and her signals of distress were promptly responded to by tho crew of the Atlantic City Life-saving Station. They hurried along the beach with their apparatus, but the great waves made any attempt at rescue impossible. Tho colored steward jumped overboard and was washed ashore in a dazed and exhausted condition. Captain Bowen is of the opinion that tho steamer went to pieces during the night, and that her crew perished in the angry sea. Fire-buckets and a water-cask were found on the beach this mornin? inscribed with the name Thiladoux." and there is but little doubt that they belonged to tho ill-fated steamer. Great joy was manifested this morning when it was announced that the first train

since Monday morning would leave here for Philadelphia. A great rush was made for the Camden &. Atlantic railroad Station, and in less than half an hour there was a crowd large enough to till five sections, and they wero all sent. Every 'car was crowded, even to standing space. The trip across the meadows was one not soon to bo forgotten. Hundreds of pleasure-boats of all sizes and descriptions were packed closo to the road-bed. The masts of many of theso had to bo cut away this morning to permit trains to cross, the tide having changed their position since the construction train passed over at 4 l M. The water was still high on the meadows and almost reached the tires in tho locomotives. Fifteen thousand people will leave hero to-day and to-morrow. This will, of course, include many all-the-year residents. Many houses are in an untenantable conditicn, owing to the bad sewerage caused by the hood. At Other Points. Cape May Court-house, X. J Sept 12. Tho storm in this vicinity was the worst ever known. Many houses and pavilions were destroved. AtWildwood the big hotel and sea-wall are gone, the entire meadow is under water, and the Anglesea train, which was wrecked on Tuesday, still lies in the ditch. Sommers Point. N. J., Sept. 12. The beach here is greatly washed ont, but no great damage has been done to the hotel or cottago property. Preceding the storm the waters of Great Egg Harber glowed with phosphorus. Sea Isle City, X. J., Sept. 12. The storm which has demolished buildings, washed away railroad beds, destroyed bridges and )rostrated telegraph wires, in a way never efore experienced here, shows no signs of abatement. Nvack. X. Y.. Sept. 12. The storm has increased in violence along the lower Hudon to-day. Tho corn and buckwheat crops nave been laid Hat and ruined, and tho fruit trees are suffering great damage. Chatham, Mass., Sept, 12. A threemasted schooner went to pieces on the rocks near here. It is thought all hands were Vst. as no help could have reached them. Asuury Park, X. J., Sept. 12. There is no abatement to the storm and it is still 'Mowing "great guns" and doing much dam age. THE IJ1G STEA3IERS. How They Fared In Their Battle with the Elements Rumors About IMsasters.

The wind blew at a terrific rate, while, strange to say, a dense iog enveloped everything, and made navigation well niah impossible. Oravesend Hay Head was covered with steamers and vessels of all kinds, waiting for the storm to subside. Reports from quarantine show that manv vesseU are anchored oft there. The United States man-of-war Atlanta, which left the Brooklyn navy-yard the foreDart of thi9 week, and had been given up as lost bv the newspapers, passed out this morning, about v o'clock, according to news from the health office nnarters. The National line steamer England, from Liverpool, got to her dock to-dav after ex periencing one of the roughest voyages her commander had encountered in a service of sixteen years at sea. At midnight Tuesday one of the hreinen was washed overboard and drowned. 1 he England was struck by the storm on Tuesday evening. Tho wind and sea wero something terrible. Captain Ilealy says that the steamer was almost turned over by tho combined force of the wind and sea. She careened over until tho tips of her yards dipped into the water.

EEJECTED THE PROPOSALS

Cardinal Manning's Second Effort to End the London Strike Unsuccessful. Dock Managers Adhere to Their Original PropositionReport on the Antxrerp Explosion Further News" from Stanley. DOCK MANAGERS FIRM. Cardinal Manning's Efforts to End the Striko Again Prove Futile. London, Sept. 12. The conference between Cardinal Manning and the directors of the dock companies was held to-day. The Cardinal found that the directors were not willing to agree to tho compromise proposed by him, that the terms which tho dock companies have already conceded go into eflect on Nov. 1, provided that tho men immediately resume work. Tho Cardinal persuaded the directors to again consider the proposal, and to postpone their decision for the present. After the conference between the directors of the dock companies and Cardinal Manning was concluded, the latter informed Messrs. Burns and Tillett, leaders of tho strike, that although the directors adhered to their original otter to advance wages on Jan. 1. they were still open to further negotiations. Ho had been charged by tho directors to tell them that if the strikers had any other terms to suggest it was for them to first agree among themselves what tho terms should bo. Tho directors had nothing from the men at present which the considered sufficiently clear and explicit. If the leaders of the strikers formulated final proposals and presented them through Cardinal Manning, the directors would again consider what course they would pursue in response to tho strikers' demands. Later in tho day the dock companies decided to adhere to the otier made by them to raise the wages of their men on Jan. 1. The Pall Mall Gazette suggests that an organization be formed for the purpose of raising ino JLiu.ouu necessary ro nay mo dock-laborers oa per hour from "box. 1 to Jau. 1. The Gazette says that a leading business man of the citv has ottered to con tribute 2.000 for this mirnoso on condition that the remaining four-fifths be subscribed immediately. The 10.000. which tho uazette suggests should bo raised by subscrip tion, is the amount that the dock companies claim they would lose by advancing wages on JNov. 1, instead of Jan. 1. Australia sent an additional contribution of 700 to the strikers' fund to-day. Some city gentlemen, believing that the Australian contributions to the strikes fund have been sent under a wrong impression, have sent a cable dispatch to Australia with tho view of preventing further remittances. The Mansion House committee announced that a more amicable feeling prevails on both sides, and that only extraneous ques tions now prevent a settlement, which it is hoped will be attained to-morrow. THE ANTWERP CASUALTY. Official Report of the Number of People Killed Extent of Property Damage. Antwerp, Sept. 12. Nothing remains of the cartridge factory in which the explo sion occurred on Friday last. The village of Austruwall, which was situated 200 meters from where the factory stood, and which consisted of about forty houses, has vanished. Tho hvdraulic machines used in the dry-dock were destroyed, with the exception of the cranes. A number of mer chandise depots, including the Prussian stores, which were constructed of iron, wero overturned by the force of the explo sion, and an immense quantity of goods was ruined. Two stained-glass windows in the Cathedral were broken by concussion, but the building is intact, for a distance of from 500 to 1.000 meters the windows of houses were shattered. Not a drop of the burning netroleum got into the docks, the depots being surrounded by a high embank-. ment. According to the official reoort 1S5 per sons were killed, VO are missing, 100 were seriously injured and 200 wero slightly injured. The story that several British tour ists were killed by the explosion is not true. The Governor's official renort to the Min ister of the Interior says nothing has as yet been clearly established regarding the origin of the explosion. After referring gratefully to those who have assisted the sufierers by tho disaster, .the Governor says that the cartridge factory worked three months without a license, when it was closed by order of the authorities. M. Corvillain, tne proprietor of the factory, then applied for a license, which was granted after an inspection of the factory and the imposition of stringent regulations for its management. The Governor savs he does not know whether tho city authori ties' inspection was adequate or not. WThen the explosion occurred an inquiry was proceeding with reference to an acci dent that had resulted xrom the unauthorized introduction of a steam engine into the factory. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Explorer Stanley Expected to Reach the East ern Coast About the End of October. BnussELS, Sept. 12. A cable dispatch from Zanzibar to the government of the Congo State, says: "Henry M. Stanley, on leaving the basin of the Albert Nyanza, endeavored to make his way southward by passing to the west of Victoria Nyanza. He failed, however, in this attempt. He then went northward, and reached the eastern shore of the lake. Emiu Pasha ac companied him. After a long stay on the borders of the lake, awaiting supplies from Msalala and Tabora, Stanley, leaving Emin Pasha, marched in tho direction of Mombassa. He is expected to reach the eastern sea-coast about the end of October." General Gordon "Was Too Obstinate. Berlin, Sept. 12. Dr. Fricke, who accompanied General Gordon to Khartoum and remained with him until his death, says that Gordon had unlimited confidence in himself, and must have misled the British as to his critical situation. Gordon's character, says Dr. Fricke, was as obstinate as it. was noble. His blindness to danger and his deafness to tho- warnings of his friends caused his death. If he had so desired, ho might have escaped two days before tho fall of Khartoum with all the Europeans in the place. Ho was spesred by his own soldiers when he came to inspect them. Dr. Fricke. being a Mussulman, managed to escape, making his way down the Nile. During the journey ho suffered mary privations. He has since traveled in Africa as a merchant. 3Iay Be Another Cronln Case. Special to tho Iiulianapolla Journal. London, Sept 12. The disappearance of Rev. Mr. Bartield from Walsall continues to be a subject of much speculation. Mr. Bartield is saidto have incurred the enmity of the Irish lnvincibles by some utterances of his in a series of Tory political speeches in London. There are vague rumors of his having been lured to Ireland by a fictitious invitation to lecture there, but tho police have not yet been able to verify this supposition. Indeed, it is hinted that the detectives are working on a vnlgar and prosaic theory of their own that the dominie may have temporarily fallen from grace, and that his absence may thus be accounted for. The clergyman's friends, however, fear that it is another Cronin case. Mr. Langtry Will Seek En Rllh Recognition. Pperial to the Indianaiwlis Journal. London, Sept. 12. On good authority it is stated to be the intention of Mrs. Langtry to compel the British public to acknowledge the talent which has gained such substantial recognition in the United States. To this end, it is understood, sho has disposed of the greater portion of her property across the Atlantic, and will show the Londoners how a theater should be run and a promineut round of characters portrayed. Many cvnical and, perhaps, prejudicial persons sa'y that in that caso her admirers in America need not despair oi seeing her speedily back in tnat coun-

Salaries for Members of RrlUln's Parliament. 6i)Pcial to the Iiullauaiolla Journal Lo.ndox. Sept. 12. It is not at all likely that the proposition to pay members of Parliament for their service will he seri ously considered for years to come. The House of Lords, of course, will bo unani mous against it, and the membeis of tho Commons, which can aflord to give their time to tho nation gratis, will nso every means in their power to prevent the intru sion among them of nn nrilAr nf ltoinfr whose brains are their onlr capital. If John Burns, the Strike le;wfer nhonld bo elected for Dundee, his friends and admirers Will have to snnoort him in the sama way that Bradlaugh is now supported. Protection for llritiih Workmen. Special to tho IodlaiapolU Journal. London, Sept. 12. It will be worth while to watch the development of the British workmen's endeavor to shut out foreign labor by legal enactments. Tho tradesunion congress at Dundee has urged tho passage of a statute to that effect, and foreigners, already ostracised to a great ex i tent, will, in future, find it more difficult than ever to gain a foothold in England. The large employers will tight vigorously against tho passage of such a law, for, in case oi general strikes, the threat of im porting laborers Xrom abroad has been an elective means, often, of brinirinir their workmen to terms. Ill-Treatment of Irish Prisoners Denied. London, Sept. 12,-Mr. Balfour has written a letter in reply to Mr. Gladstone's remarks on prison treatment iu Ireland, in "S"hich Mr. Gladstone commented upon tho case of Mr. Cony bear as shearing an ab sence of right judgment and human feeling. Mr. Balfour denies that the prisoner is 6uflering from a disease that in stifles his release. He says that the general treat ment of Irish prisoners is more lenient than tho treatment of English prisoners. and that of all classes of Irish prisoners, those convicted under the crimes act obtain the largest share of prison relaxations. Relief for Montenegro Farmers. Epecial to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Sept. 12.

A Fact That Doesn't Fit Milwaukee SentineL The New York Times still contends that the protective tariff is responsible for the coal-mining troubles in Indiana.
