The lhht definite news from tin; Mississippi ulf coast reached the city this morning, all wires having been down and the Louisville t Nashville railroad having lieen washed out at intervals from .Mobile to New Orleans. The financial loss along the entire coast will foot up ot less than l,O0O,ui)0. anil fully 100 iiviw were lost. The news is almost a appalling as that from the gulf count of Louisiana. At Itiloxl nothing cfieaped the fury of the elements. On every side could be seen the wrecks of boats, piers and kitlihnu.se and in many instances the front of houses on the beach were totally de stroyed. Throughout the town great trees were uprooted, swinging signs were swept away like leaves, sheds and vehicles were tossed about like match iKj.ves, and animals of every description were terribly frightened. Many of the .street are blocked with fallen trees and a mass of rubbish washed in by the sen, while the beach itself is impassable on account of the piles of wreckage visihle all along the entire coast. The canning industries were completely wrecked, all the factories beinsr either badly dninjiged or utterly destroyed. Much of the ditmnge at the back bay was caused by a section of several hundred feet of the railroad bridge, which was swept awav at Ocean Springs, washsag up against the buildinjjsand crush ing them like egg shells. It isditlicult at this time to make any intelligent estimate of the damage sustained by the loss of sloops, luggers, small schooners, fishing boats and like craft. Out of more than 100 boats on the front bay, little and big-, only three rode the storm safely, and the leacli is strewn with wrecks of nil descriptions. On the hack bay there were only one or two that -weathered the gale. Not a single -wharf is left standing on either the front or hack bay. The damage was not confined alone to the water fronts, but all through the city, in every direction, the elTects of the storm can be wen in fallen trees, fences, and here Jiud there a house partially unroofed. The velocity of the wind at the height of the storm must have been at least 100 miles per hour. The Haptistchurch steeple was blown down and the bell crocked. The breakwater at the lighthouse washed away, but the tower was not damaged. At Deer island, just opposite Kiloxi, over forty head of eattle were drowned. When the storm came up, which was a genuine cyclone, there were many Jliloxi boats in the Louisiana marsh oyster fishing, and it is almost certain tii at in many cases a number, if not all, (their boats have gone down with all on board. Of eight schooners that were Stnewntobe there on Sunday evening three have been picked up bottom up, with masts and rigging all gone, and not a soul on board. At Ship island previous to the storm there were seven vessels loading for foreign ports. The Norwegian bark Simon, Capt. Gunderson, 73-J tons, came to Capetown to load for Ituenos Ay res, lost her mast and rigging and suffered other damage. The Hritish bark Kusel la .Smith, 500 tons, from Havana, CapL Ilnuternian, was found bottom drifting outside and is a total loss. 'The mate, carpenter and cook were drowned. The German bark Margeretis. 3,237 tons, from New York, Capt. ZKbster, lost two anchors and 120 Bathorns of chains and suffered other damage. The Austrian bark Delmes, which is aground at the north of the äslaiid in three feet of water, should in tug get afloat, which is extremely -.doubtful, will sustain damages to Xhe amount of several thousand dolHani About forty head of cattle were atlso lost on the island yesterday. A Manilla sailor made his way to the Chandeleur station from the fishing Ailoop Laura 11., of New Orleans, which was wrecked in Grand l'ass. Out of a crow of seven men he Is the only survivor, and when found on the island was in an unconscious and perfectly nude condition, having been in the water over ten hours, lie was furnished with elof'iing and brought to Illloxi on X,ho steam tug Julius KlherU The oyster linrger Ilosalie, of ISiloxi, Sk also know to have gone to the bottom with a crew of four ni-n. The American bark Kebteca Godlartl, from SU John's, lying; at quarantine, dragged her anchors about " sidles from the station and was only afKivcd from going ashore by the cutting mvay of her masts and rigging. The Henry T. Gregg hud a similar xperienee and was completely diswi asf. cd, the loss footing up fully $0,?W. Until vessels were towed Into IShip Island harbor by the steam tugs TToiler and Julius KUnirt. ''ilie Austrian bark Xikita, which was In quarantine at Chandeleur, has disappeared, and Is believed to be lost with all on board. She had a crew of .a. bout twelve men. The Norwegian bark Uogna was also ' dismasted, and taken to Ship island by the steamship Kavensdale. . The Lena is tore r and Flora WoodTbine, both three-masted schooners, -kvere the only vessels lying at Chanlolenr island that were not seriously pamaged. Last night the Henry T. Gregg took two Italian fishermen from a raft as they were drlltlng to sea. Another raft also passed the vessel with three anon on board, but the Gregg's small IwatK were so badly wrecked that they could lend no assistance to the unfortunates, and nothing has boon heard from them since. The pilot boatChleora, about which a great deal of uneasiness wis felt, was discovered to be ashore on Cat island, beached high and dry, with the two old veterans, Cap.twins John Nelson, Sr., and Joseph

Lowia, on board with th cook and Miilor. A number of other vessels were badly damaged, but it will be .several days yet before the full and complete record of the total los. of life and property can be made. Jack Shcpard, the assistant bridge tender on Hiloxl bridge, was washed over and drowned. His body was recovered the next day and buried at Ocean Springs. He leaves a wife and several children. ntoM orio'.i! i'i.acks. From inform Hon received from Mississippi City, Handshoro, l'ass Christian and Ocean Springs it is learned that the destruction of wharves, bathhouses and boats has Wen complete. At Handsboro the mills of H. L. Leinhart and the J. 1), Little Co, have been damaged considerably, but to what extent is not known. The roadbed of the Louisville fc Nashville road from Pearl river to Waveland is completely washed away, and west of Lookout it is nearly as bad. Telegraph poles along the road are down as far as the eye can see. The schooners Alice McGuigon and Anguline have been discovered bottom upward !1 or 1 miles from the

mouth of Pearl liver. Considerable damage was also done on the island, the warehouse, fortkeeper's house and lazaretto at the quarantine station being completely washed away, and the lighthouse keepers house being badly damaged. AT Il.VV ST. 1.0 IMS. About one mile of the railroad bridge at Hay St. Louis is washed ashore on the island, together with much derelicts of other kinds from wrecked vessels, oyster boats, sloops and luggers. Very little of the government wharf remains and what is left will bu of no service. A large number of cattle were also drowned. AT CHA.VOKMHflt ISLAND. Probably the worst damage and loss of property was at Chandeleur island. Here was located the United States marine hospital quarantine buildings, in charge of Or. G. M. Guitcaras, with Dr. Charles Pelaiz, of Hiloxi, as assistant. At this point the fullest strength of the storm was devel- I oped, resulting not only in the almost complete destruction of all buildings on the island, but a fearful loss of life. The velocity of the wind reached 100 miles per hour. The building and pier known as the disinfecting plant, supplied with all the modern appliances for the thorough disinfection of vessels from infected ports, is a complete wreck, everything being washed away, while 'the other buildings on the island are more or less damaged and uninhabitable. The largest house connected with the main station was also carried away. The buildings on the island were located so far apart that there was no communication, and it was impossible for the occupants to render assistance to one another. The lighthouse is also wrecked to such an extent that the lighthouse keeper has abandoned it Miles of the island have been washed away, and what little remains is liable to be completely submerged with a little more than or dinary high tide. Dr. Guitcaras has notified the department at Washington Unit the island is no longer habitable, and recommended the transfer of the quarantine station to Ship island, and Dr. Pelaiz has been transferred to that point. Dr. Guitcaras has also notified the bar pilots and the health authorities at Pensacola, Mobile and Paseagoula that all vessels from infected ports will hereafter report at Ship island instead of Chandeleur.

Searching parties In the vicinity of Grand Prairie found fifty-seven bodies, some buried beneath the debris of the wrecked houses and others high and dry on the land where the receiving waters had dropped them. They were nearly all Austrian colonists who had a large settlement at this point The inen were engaged in the oyster industry. The appeal for aid from the stormstricken country has met with a ready response and large shipments of supplies have gone by rail to Point a la Mache and Hellaire. Mr. John Dyinond, one of the largest sugar planters in the unfortunate section, sent the jiteatuer Neptune to the above points loaded to the guards with Hour, meats and other supplies. These places will be made distributing points and other shipments will bo made. The marine quarantine station near the Kigolets came in for a share of tho general loss, and was battered up severely by tho hurricane. ARDMORE MINERS.

M.ro.v, Mo Oct 0, The 700 coal miners at Ardinore have decided not to make any demand for nu increase in wages this winter until the financial situation gets better. The financial depression of the country has caused the demand for coal to bo light. The Ardinore miners have not been receiving steady work at fifty cents, and what they want now Is steady work at fifty cents.but the small demand for coal will probably not justify regular work oven at that amount at present. Last summer tho Ardinore miners went out in sympathy with the Kansas strikers, but tho Hevier miners refuse to join them, and the former soon went back to work. Ardinore miners are now apparently retaliating by refusing to join the Hevier men in their demands.

He is being lionized by hl countrymen, and from what is said of Capt. Terrebonne- by those refugees from Chenier, he deserves all of the praise and credit that is accorded him. Capt. Terrebonne, during the hardest of the cyclone, risked his life half a dozen times in saving the lives of men, women und children who were unable to help themselves. While the storm was at its fury the house Capt. Terrebonne occupied began rocking to ami fro. There was two feet of water on the ground. Never

theless the captain caught hold of his wife and one child, while his 17-year-old son seized another of the children, and they left the house. Capt. Terrebonne weighs J.0 pounds and Is powerfully built, but it took all of his strength to keep from blowing away. Some distance from his house was a two-story house and to this place tho captain made his way with his family. In the house he found several children crouching in fear on the floor. The captain then left in searcli of those in need of assistance. On every hand he found them, lie would convey them back to tho house where his family was. lie continued this for over an hour, and during that time managed to save sixty-four people, who were on the point of giving up when he came to their aid. After the sixty-four people had been safely landed in the lower portion of the house, the building began to sway to and fro. Those in the house became panic-stricken and would have dashed out into the storm had not the captain placed his burly form in the doorway and prevented them. He requested everybody to go upstairs, knowing that if the house went in those on the second lloor would have a better chance of escape than people on the ground floor, who would be crushed to death by falling "timbers. All but three obeyed the captain's ordors. As sr.on as the majprity reached the upper lloor the building collapsed. The sixty-two people on the second lloor escaped injury while the people below were crushed to death. The second floor sank down and rested on the debris of the ground lloor. Everybody held onto the timbers and were prevented from blowing away. The sixty-two people remained in this situation until daylight when the wind lulled. Capt Terrebonne lost a sister, who was drowned. RAILROAD STATISTICS. Itojxirti of the Intrmtuto ('!iiiiiirc Commission for IHtej. Washington, Oct. 0. The fifth statistical report of the interstate commerce commission for the year ended June 30, 189J, mw just been submitted. The total railway mileage of the country was 171,566.53 miles, being an Increase during the year of .",100.73 miles, the smallest increase for a number of years. The railways which during the year were added to the class of railways operating a mileage in excess of 1,000 miles aro the Philadelphia & Heading railroad, the Atlantic Coast Line association, and the Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf railroad. The total number of employes in the service of railways was St,4I.', being an increase of o7.1'J0 oer the previous year. The capitalization of the H!i,?,07.:iO miles covered by the report was $ 10,2:20, 7-13,-134. The total number of passengers carried by the railways during the year was 5(10,953,211. The gross earnings from operation of railways were ?1,17l,l07,:u:i. The operating expenses were ?S0,i)'J7,9'.)tj. The number of railway employes killed was 2,5.

M'KINLEY'S TIN PLATE FAKE. An Industry Unlit Toon tint Uulim of .Horn

JuiltortMiit I iitlUHt rUx I iiriilrtlic tlm (iovcrnor'it (ircittritt Argument. As was expected, Gov. McKinley opened his campaign in Ohio by pointing with pride to "lorty-two tin-plate factories employing thousands of men, not one of which the probably means industries) watj in existence before' the tariff of lij'.to." After stating that the products of his pet industry was nearly -J 0,000,000 pounds for the three months eiuU-d June 10, ts'.i;!, and that 45 per cent, of that was made from Anieracan black plates, ho said: "I iiKsume that tin plate is to bo made free, because the last house of representstlve, which was deinocraticinado it free by a party vote. These splendid industries which have been built up in our country, and which have supplied employment for so many workingmen, are to bo closed, and this, the greatest consuming nation of tin plate in the World, will hereafter buy this product from abroad, unless our labor is brought down to the degraded level of competing labor. I cannot believe that the people of the United States favor this policy. If they do, they are recreant to their highest and best interests. The manufacture of tho tin plate annually consumed by tho people of the United States would keep up an army of 00,000 workingmen In constant employment The policy of my distinguished competitor, the democratic candidate for governor, is-to take this employment from them and to giro it to the cheaper labor of Europe. The tnrllT of the republican party would employ these (50,000 workingmen In the United States at good wages and thus give the agriculturists, to the manufacturers and t merchants 00,000 profitable consumers of their products." Undoubtedly the tin plate industry is the greatest achievement of MclCinleyism. P.ut should its putative father be proud of it? In the first place we will inspect the governor's figures: Tho ollicial estimate for the quarter ended June ÖOth, isf.3, is :i5,000,000 pounds. Hut nearly 20,000,000 pounds were made from imported sheets. As nine-tenths of the weight and of the value and three-fourths of the labor cost of tin plates is in the black or uncoated sheets, the treasury department lias very properly decided that such sheets when merely dipped in imported tin, often by imported workmen, do not constitute "American tin plate." It was only by a patriotic move of republican officials, who wished to magnify our production, that this foreign product was ever declared to be American. Our actual product for this quarter, then, was less than 10,000,000 pounds, about half of which was terne or roofing plate. No.Nt, as to that "army of 00,000 workingmen." Hon. Thomas Ij. Hunting, president of the Tin Plate Consumers' association, said in congress in 1892, that our average annual consumption of tin plate (after deducting 1,000,000 boxes for export) is about .,000,030 boxes; and that the total labor cost of producing this is 95,000,000.- At ?400, the average wages paid such help in this eouatiy, 12,50 people night poesibly find employment in this industry if we should make all tho tin plate we consume. If we should employ an army of 00,000 the average wages would be less than ?2 per week. The governor can choose between tho two horns of this dilemma. As 1(5,000,000 pounds equal about 100,000 boxes we are now employing about 400 people in this genuine American industry. If. as Congressman Hunting estimated, R00 men at 8400 a year could tin, wash, grease, rub and dust the 5,000,000 boxes which we annually consume, we are now employing about 1 15 men in our tin-dipping establishments. About 500 men. then, should be employed in our tin plate works. As, however, many of the plants are small and not run to good advantage the number actually employed may be considerably greater. We will be very liberal and give it 1,500 men at 400 each, making a total for wages paid of 8OO0.000 as the result of the McKinley tariff. In order to estimate the profits of this Industry to this country wo shall now see what it is costing us. The duty on 500,000,000 pounds of tin plate is S12.000.000. Seven million dollars of this was added by McKinley for the express purpose of inducing tin plate factories to sojourn with us. The first two years was almost a dead loss to this country, as the mills wcro not, in 1MI2, making more rhan 5 per cent of our consumption. Now, after nearly three years of prosperity, greater than that of "any othei new industry ever started in the UnUed States," as McICInley tells us, wft pay out f 12,000,000 and take in $000,000. And Ohio's governor considers this a great bargain. But suppose that the great expectations and promises of McKinley had been realized and that we were now making all of the tin pinto wo consume, and that our factories were dependent upon the duty, we would then cxcnd 12,000.000 in increased cost of tin pi ate nnd get back $5,000,000 in wages, If Congressman Hunting's statistics are correct Hut it should not be forgotten that not all of this ?5,000,000 is gain; the most of those employed in this industry could find employment in other industries not pensioners upon public charity where they could earn almost or quite as much as in this pauper industry. The actunl gain to the wagernrncrs employed in this industry, then, is very small. Hut this is not nlL Congressman Bunting showed that the not value of the raw materials outside of the pig tin -in 5,000,000 boxes of tin plate is S:t,150,00O. He came to the conclusion that "consumers of tin plates, therefore, could afford to pay for all these raw materials, and leave them in the ground, pay for all the labor to make them Hp, and leave it idle, and still save j?3,700.(IOO." Nor Is this all, or even tho greater part of MeKlnley's bad bargain. The increased cost of tin plate has had a most injurious oilcct upon all tin pinto consuming industries. Some of these nro tho can-making, the roofing ami the canning industries. Throutrh these

the injury extends to the building trades, to small fruit and vegetable farming and to other trades anil industries. We will take space toenumeratu only a few of the industries struck by Mckinley blight. The can-making establishments are great sufferers from the decreased use of cans due to Increased cost Mr. Hunting mentions eight that paid $552.570 for wages in lsUl and only (?:;9,7SU In ls'92 a lov; of $12,785 to labor. Tho wngo-carners had to share with the consumers in paying the duty which McKinley says the foreigner pays. There are 1,200 canning concerns in the United Stntes. besides 800 more meat, fish and oyster packers. The growers, pickers, packers, etc, engaged 'n producing the contents ot these cans make up an army of 2,o0i),000. Tho fS,000,O00 tax on tin plate used for canning purposes touches every one of these producers as well as tho 05,000,000 consumers of canned goods many of whom depend for cheap food for canned vegetables, meats, etc. Thus the tomato farmer averages about five tons of tomatoes, worth 60 per ton, to an acre. Tho duty cost on the cans necessary to can five tons of tomatoes is 622.50. Without this duty the eannnr 'could afford to pay 70 per cent more for tomatoes lSJta cents per bushel. If ho should pay the same for tomatoes he could affordand increased competition would compel him to deduct ?S,000,OO0 from the selling price of his goods, in the interests of mill tons of poor consumers. "The average yield of corn per arre," saj's Mr. Hunting, "is three tons, which at ?0 per ton, nets the farmer 18; tho duty cost of the cans to put up an aero of corn is $11.01. In tho absence of the tariff on tin plates the farmer coulii receive (51 per cent more for his crop and the winner still be able tosell hisgoods at the same price." Millions of bushels of vegetables and fruits rot each year in this country because it will not quite pay to can them after paj'ing McKinley taxes on tin plate. Millions of poor people in this and other countries suiter for the cheap food of which this dutv deprives them. Instead of exporting mil lions of dollars worth of canned goods, as we would do if canning materials and supplies were untaxed, we now Import large quantities of jams, jellies, marmalades, etc, from England. And McKinley takes a

fiendish delight in strangling the American canning industry that his comparatively insignificant industry may havo some political signfleancc. He poses as a statesman because ho has given lifo to a leech capable of sucking the life blood from creatures a thousand times larger and more valuable. Posh! He should repent in sack cloth and ashes for having brought about such a condition. If the voters of Ohio give him his dues they will set him up in business with that other great republican statesmen John J. Ingalls. Hvnox W. Hot.T. POTATOES AND ONIONS. The llrruiHd J'otuto aad Onion Argument. Find a man a mine, a manufactory, a village, aa Island, a province, or & eoaatry ao at tu a ted with reference to market that one market is near a ad convenient and all others distant or ia convenient, and the natural advantage of the near and convenient mar:et will outweigh any artificial advantage that shall roach to the degree of prohibition. There are parts of the dominion of Canada and there are some of the nearer islands in the Atlantic ocean so situated with reference to the United States that they cannot advantageously trade with any other country. They are cither closely allied to, or belong to European nations; but their best and natural market is in this country. Unless we impose tirilTs upon their products mi high that they are compelled to go elsewhere they prefer, when they find themselves unable to add our customs tax to the selling prico as their product, to bear such part of! the burden as they cannot shift. Hut all such trade is exceptional. It does not follow that because Hcrmudn potatoes and Canadian barley sell in our markets, notwithstanding tariff restriction, to better advantage than in other distant markets, the rule that the consumer pays the duties collected at the custom houses is therefore invalidated. On the contrary, the exception proves the rule. The Canadians and the Hermudans are in such a defenseless position that umlur certain conditions of the markets we can makethciu stand and deliver. Hut other foreign traders cannot be so coerced. Whatever tax we may elect to put on theii products we must pay ourselves when we import their stuffs. When the tax is so high as to prevent importation, we then pay it to our own trusts, monopolies and other gatherers-in of government bounty. Philadelphia Record. VcllV Hfcommniilitt loon. The report of Mr. David A. Wells to Secretary Carlisle on tho advisability of making changes in the internal revenue taxes on distilled spirits, malt liquors and tobacco is of great interest. Tho conclusions of his investigation nro that any change in the present hvx on distilled liquors are inadvisable, but that the taxes on malt liquors and tobacco are now "below the safe line of expediency" and may be increased with advantage. He thinks that the customs duties on these three articles arc absurdly high as compared with the internal revenue taxation, lie suggests changes which he estimates would result In increasing the revenue supplied by these three sources from ?181,000,000 to $2 5,000,00.
