y those who enjoy the closest
relations with Mr. Cleveland
was cognisant of the $50,000
contribution and the terms npon which
It was made and that the nomination of
Van Alen was not sunt to the senate un
til he hud refused to relinquish bis
claim thereto for the return of his $50,
000, which certain friends of Mr. Cleve
land ottered to contribute in order to
prevent the consummation of the scan
dalous bargain, and bad threatened to
make public the transaction. As might
be supposed this charge has created
smiMutiuii in congress. The nomination
of Van Alen is now before the senate
committee on foreign relations, which
may make an investigation of the
charge, although the chances are that
an attempt will )e made to hush the
matter up by getting Mr, Cleveland to
withdraw the nomination. To judge
from remarks made by senators it would
lie next to impossible to get a favorable
report from the committee on this nom
ination, and even if a favorable report
were secured the senate would in all
probability reject the nomination by a
considerable majority.
To listen to the argument put forward
by the democrats of the house in favor
of ths bill for the repeal of all laws pro-
vlding for federal sujiervision of elec
tion carries one back to the duys of
Calhoun and nullification. The demo
crats are ignoring the fact that the
blood of a million Americans was shed
in determining that this was a nation,
and are trotting out all of the old thread
bare state's rights ideas that were used
in congress for a decade previous to the
rebellion.
The tariff mystery has been increased
by the official announcement that no
information concerning the new tariff
bill would be given out before the bill
was reported to the bouse, and that it
was altogether uncertain when that
would be. It was evident to all close
observers that a hitch in the tariff pro
gramme has been readied. It was only
few days ago that Chairman ilson
stated positively that the work of pre
paring the bill would be bustened by
assigning tlie preparation of the various
schedules to sub-committees, a state
ment that was not in accordance with
the views of the power behind the com
mittee, as Mr. Wilson now announces
without a blush that lio work wilt be
done by sub-committees. The mystery
surrounding the preparation of this bill
is daily adding to the number of those
who believe that the democratic mem
bers of the house ways and means com
mittee will have little or nothing to do
with making a tariff bill, and thut all
that will be required of them will be to
accept without quoHtion and report to
the bouse the bill which will lie sub
bitted to them by the administration.
This being the programme it became
absolutely necessary to announce that
no information would lie given out un
til the bill Is reported. Iiy saying noth
ing members of tlie committee will give
away nothing.
Secretary Hoke Smith may find him
self hard pushed to explain some queer
thimrs about bis management of the
opening of the Cherokee Strip; likewise
Secretary Dan Lamont some of tiie odd
capers of the U. S. soldiers, such as
shooting down citizens, if the present
nlans for a congressional investigation
of the whole business do not miscarry.
Representative Springer, chairman of
tlie house committee on banking and
currency, lias heard from the boss, and
notwithstanding his positive announce
ment weeks ago that his committee was
opposed to the repeal oi the ten per
cent, tax on state bank currency and
would not report a bill for that purpose
to the bouse, tlie committee today be
gan an elaborate series of hearings on
the subject. Wise democrats in the
house do not announce their intentions
until they ascertain what the boss in
tends shall be taken up; they thus
.void humiliation.
The situation in tlie senate remains
much the same, except that the person
alities which have crept into the donate
during the last few days have raised
new obstacles to anything like a satis
factory compromise. Still compromise
seems to the moat unprejudiced observ
ers the only possible way to got any
legislation dealing with silver, hut the
more the senators quarrel the more dif
ficult compromise will be. Another at
tempt is to be made next week to force
a vote bv keeping the senate in session,
twelve hours a day, but nobody seri
ously believes that it will do moro than
demonstrate the impossibility ol forcing
a vote. Tlie committee on rules has
not acted upon Senator Piatt s resolu
tion proposing cloture, and it is not
likely that it will.

Storm,
STORIES OF SOME SURVIVORS
The Loss of. Life Will Probably Reach
One Thousand The Oyster Bayou
Catastrophe.
New Oiii.kanh, Oct. 4. The disaster at
Grand Isle and Cheniere is unparalleled
in this section. The first authentic
news came this morning when several
survivors reached here. They tell a
hcurtrendiiig story. A tidal wave swept
over the island, destroying lives and
property on all sides. One hundred and
forty-ilvc families are said to have per
ished. The death list will ran up into
the hundreds.
This morning near Burras the bodies
of three little girls, evidently sisters,
were found clinging together, horribly
mangled by a bar'oecl-wire fence against
which they had been thrown by the
force of the wind. A man, wife and two
children went on board a schooner out
side of Bayou Cook. The schooner was
wrecked and the husband and children
drowned. The woman lashed nerself to
a broken mast and was rescued in the
mornirg by a passing vessel. She was
brought here today.
It is now estimated that the loss of
life on Grand Isle and Chaniere and in
Grand and Adams' bay and Cook,
Chaton and Oyster Bayou settlements
will reach 800 to 1,000.
Matthew, Wertzez and Dominio Mir-
godich, sailors, were rescued by one of
the luggers. Tbe story they tell of the
disaster at Grand Isle is horrifying in
the extreme. During a recital of the
scenes of that terrible night they wept
bitterly. They said the sea was rising
all day, ard increased alarmingly toward
night. About 10 p. m. tbe wind shifted
to the southwest. These men lived on
tbe west end of the island. Far out at
sea, as the flashes oi lightning illumin
ated tbe darkness, mammoth waves
could be seen traveling with wonderful
rupidity toward tbe island, accompanied
witli a noise like thundei. On came the
terrible thing, growing larger moment
arily. The islund was wrapped in slum
ler. The men were too frightened to go
to their homes, and remained in the
bout during the terrible night. Horrified
they watched the tidal wave approach
the island until it struck. Then all was
darkness, and the island, as fur as tbe
eye could reach, was covered with water.
The next flash of lightning the two fish
ermen found themselves far north of tbe
island, and looking about could see
nothing but a sheet of water, the island
having totally disappeared.
John A. Sebut, a fisherman, from the
shore of Bayou Cook, told a representa
tive of the Associated Press that nothing
was left either on the shores of the bayou
or islands. On Bayou Simon, situated
in Grand bay, there were 14 fishermen,
all drowned. It Is said not a bouse is
left on Bayou Cook, and where the people
are the Almighty only knows. The
family of John Barbier, fisherman, in
Bayou Cook, was washed away, and the
husband and two children drowned, wife
and four children rescued. In the house
adjoining, man was saved, bnt bis
wife and two children were drowned.
The house of George Cefaroche was
washed away with bis family, wife and
three children, all drowned. His next
neighbor, man named Barton, bad his
two daughters drowned. Only one per
son was saved from the Oyster Bayou
catastrophe. He was found hanging by
one band to poBt, unconscious. He
will die. The wife and child of Thomas
Moryorich were lost at Bayou Cook.
John Stook.anltaliauboy.was instantly
killed. Luke Detrovitch lost four
daughters, his wife and two ol his
sailors. On Simon isle there were 18 in
habitants of oyster camps and 16 were
drowned. On Razor island was a camp
of five men, all drowned. On Bird is
land about 150 people lived, all drowned.
On Grand bank eight persons were killed.
Matthew SehurU, of Goldsboro, one of
the survivors of tbe Cheniere Caminda
community, arrived this morning. He
brought a harrowing tale of the loss of
life there. He w as engaged there con
structing a schoolhouse. He boorded in
a house w here 25 people lodged. The
house was demolished and he believed
about all of the inmates were killed.

Astokia, Or., Oct. 3. The largest
sturgeon that has been caught on the
Columbia river for several years was
taken into S. Smith A Co.'s cannery at
Knappton today. It weighed 755
pounds, and the head alone scaled 151
pounds. The length from tip to tip
was 11 feet, 8 inches. When cut and
dressed, the huge mass tipped the beam
at 427 pounds. It was cut into 70-pound
lumps ami ent to Portland to be frozen.

WasHisoTON, Oct. 4. The reports ol
the hearings held by the house ways and
means committeehave not yet all been
printed, and the committee is still re
ceiving written arguments from persons
who failed to appear in person. It is ad
mitted that in some way at least $00,
000,000 of additional annual revenue
must be provided to meet the ordinary
current expenses of the government, and
unless the sinking fund law is suspended
or repealed the deficit will amount to
over $100,000,000. How this is to be
done is the question the committee must
answer by its work.
One of the leading members of the
commitiee, when questioned, said that
the pleas before the committee of manu
facturera and producers for the retention
of the present duty npon certain articles
would not influence the committee's
action. He believed the bill would em
brace a general scheme of reduced duties,
the changes to be made with no refer
ence to tbe persons or interests affected.
When asked if the committee would
adopt the suggestion of D. A. Wells, to
increase tbe internal revenue taxes, be
replied:
"We must have more money from
some soon and I do not know any
better way to raise it than by that
scheme." Tbe speaker represents a dis
trict in which the internal revenue laws
are generally supposed to be regarded as
oppressive and unjuet.
Chairman Wilson has been quoted as
Baying : "Tbe tariff bill which tbe com
mittee will report will fulfil in every res
pect the declaration of the national
democratic platform on the subject." A
prominent member of the bouse said be
believed a small duty would be laid on
sugar.
Representative Wilson declined to Bet
a date for the introduction of the bill,
but intimated that it would not be ready
by November 1st. A month later is be
lieved to be near tbe time when it may
be expected. An impression prevails
that the first of January, 1895, will be
agreed upon by the committee as the
date putting tbe law into effect.

The Forelcn Warihlpt Will Interfere.
Rio de Janeiro, Oct. 4. The com
manders of the British, French, Italian,
American and Portuguese men-of-war
here have received dispatches giving
them discretionary power to take such
action as may seem necessary to prevent
a further attack by rebel gunboats on
the city which might endanger tbe lives
and property of foreign subjects. The
commanders have already acted on this
authorization by informing Admiral De
Mello that no attack on tbe city will be
permitted. Germany alone refrained
from taking similar action on tbe ground
that she does not desire to interfere in
domestic troubles.
"NEWS NOTES.
On Chicago Day, Oct. 9, the world's
fair exposition will be free from debt,
excepting, of course, tbe stock subscrip
tions. The little town of Hogan, Ga., has
been demolished by a cyclone. Nine
houses were blown down. George
Barnett was killed.
Advices received at the marine hos
pital bureau from Surgeon Murray, at
Brunswick, Ga., state that 12 new cases
of yellow fever have been reported 10
white and two colored.
Two engines ran together at Catasa
qua, Ta., the result of wrong signals by
Watchman Thomas Bias, causing a bad
wreck. John Ray, fireman, was killed
and Herbert James was crippled for
life. Bias, seeing the result of his mis
take, went borne and shot himself.
President Wheatcroft and Secretary
Friedlander, of the National Benefit
Trust association, organized last spring
under the laws of Colorado with a capi
tal of $1,000,000, are under arrest charg
ed with obtaining money by a confidence
game.
The foreign ntftiirs committee has de
cided to report favorably the McCreary
substitute for the Everett bill. As
agreed on, it extends tbe Chinese regis
tration period six months from tbe pas
suge of the act. It strikes out the word
"w hite" from the Geary act so as to
permit tbe testimony of anybody except
Chinamen to be adduced to prove
"Chinamen ore entitled to register."
Geary cast the only adverse vote. He
eclarea the bill's teeth are drawn, that
it is a make-shaft in keeping with the
course of the administration, and that
he w ill fight it tooth and toenail.

News From the Frightful Gale File op
tbe Dead.
New Orleans, Oct. 5. The storm
horror continues to grow in the frightful
loss of life and property hour by hour as
reports come in, though it is believed
that approximately the fall details are
now at band. In Point a La Hache
county the death list is ewolen to 80,
with a prospect of reaching 100 before
all are heard from. At Shell beach and
St. Malo island tbe loss is about 30. In
Mississippi sound and vicinity probably
a score are reported. Cbantolaur islands
were swept away, with a great loss of
life and property. Tbe loss of life in
Cook Bayou country will approximate
200. The country is swept clean of
bouses, and scores of fishing smacks
were destroyed. The news from Grand
Isle this morning places tbe loss of life
there not above 25, all negroes ; property
damage $100,000. At Cheniere the pop
ulation was about 1,400 and tbe loss of
life is 000 to 1,000. Seventy-two were
drowned in tbe Chinese camps on Bayou
Senet and Bayou Andre. It is estimated
the aggregate loss of life in tbe storm is
between 1,200 and 1,500. The property
loss is several millions. There were 300
or 400 fishing craft, of which half were
wrecked. Thi cripples the oyster in
dustry, and an oyster famine for a
time in this city is looked for. Fifty
seven bodies were found in the vicinity
of Grand Prairie, and at the old quaran
tine station at Bayou du Font 10 more
were drowned. Coffins are out of the
question, and the unidentified are
buried in trenches. The sufferings of
the survivors is being relieved as much
as possible, and a second shipment of
supplies was sent this morning. Dead
bodies are floating around on every side.
The situation is un par ailed in the history

A Woman Shoots Another.
New York, Oct. 4. About 4 o'clock
yegterday afternoon a fine-looking, dark
complexioned woman walked nervously
up and down in front of No. 21 East
Eighty-six street, the residence of John
Pearsall, an officer attached to the
Eighty-six street police station. The
woman said nothing and continued
walking until about 4:15, when Mrs.
Pearsall, who was a beautiful woman of
33 years, stepped out of tbe door. The
strange woman fired four shots at her
from a revolver, killing her almost in
stantly. Then she walked to the police
atation and Baid to tbe sergeant: "I
