A terrible ((ale struck tlila: auction of the country, coming from tlie soutlieaHt, tiefore daylight tliia morning, and (tils ftrn(xin the wind wan "Uli blowing over fifty miles an hour. M'ator was blown In from the gulf until the river reached Royal treet, four blukH from it and at an elevation of about fifUien feet from the main river height. There is no way of eetimating the money damage tonight. All the wholesale and a lance portion of the retail district of the city is four feet under water, and thousands of dollars worth of goods have been damaged. Several tugboata and other small crafts were driven ashore and it is reported three dredgers, which were working on the channel, have been lost. It i re ported that fitly miles of the Louisville & Nashville road along the coast is underwater, and that the Biloxi bridge has been swept away. Nothing lias been heard from the gardners in the marches east of the city, and the worst is feared. Telegraph communication is cut off in almot every direction, and from the present outlook everything will be gone belore late at night in the way of wires. In the city many houses were unroofed. One cotton warehouse waa destroyed, and much minor damage has been dune.' Smokestacks of all the manufactories have been blown down and street-car traffic is susiended be cause of the damage to the electric wires. The busiest thoroughfares of the city are being navigated in boats, and as this dispatch is sent the people are wading up their armpits trying to save their goods. It is corceded to be the worst storm ever known here. The southern part of the city presents a scene of wreckage as if it had been bombarded. The towers on the courthouse and Christ church are tottering. Two men are known to have been drowned so far. TIIK STORM AT ITS UKlGHT. The storm reached its beiulit about 3 P. II., when the wind reached a velocity of seventy-five miles an hour. Rain has been falling in torrenta the entire day, and tonight the city ia in darkness, and not an electric light of any kind is burning. Later reports Indicate great loss of property and lives to the number of several hundred. Want Bo Oompromti. Washinoton, Sept. 30. Leading dem- ociatic senators who have been trying for the last forty-eight hours to arrange terms for a compromise on the silver question, encountered a very determined obstacle today, when they approached republican anti-silver men; who thus far have been acting with democratic repeal forces. The republicans simply declare there is no common ground upon which they could act with the democrats longer if unconditional repeal be abandoned. When it came to negotiating for termo with silver, they announced their inten tion of flocking by themselves and de clared they were ready to fight compro mise to a finish. This bellicose attitude of republicans disheartened the democratic repealers and compelled compromisers to halt, temporarily at least. Senator Voorhees ia in no way connected with the compro mise movement. He said today he had no reason to despair of the passage of the repeal bill in the ongonal form, thought it quite redlculous to conclude in that a body of eighty-five men, a majority of fifteen, could not secure a vote upon any given proposition He said he felt con vinced the majority could hold out as long as the minority. Washington, Oct. 2. Some of the sil ver advocates who been studying the re peal bills, proiiosed in the eenate by Voorhees and in the house by Wilson, have reached the conclusion from a sil ver standpoint, that the passage of either of these bills, instead of proving an un mixed evil, may be a real benfit. They claim tlmt the enactment of either these bills into a law will have the effect of re storing the free coinage of silver. Iheir reasoning is to the following effect: Both the Voorhees and Wilson bills repeal only bo much of the Sherman act as directs the secretary of the treasury to purchase from time to time silver bul lion to an aggregate amount of $4,000,000 ounces of silver, or so much thereof as may be offered each month ; but leaves untouched the fifth section of the bher- man act which repeals the purchasing clause of the bland-Allison act in full ef feet, except where it requires purchases of from JL'OOO.OOO to $4,000,000 of silver per moutti. luepanoi mis ci um is unrepealed provides for the free coin age of silver dollars in accordance with the provisions of the act of January 27. 1792. This act establishes a government mint and provides for the coinage of both gold and silver in sums greater than f 100 at the request of the depositor. Washinoton, Oct. 3. W. M. Sprlnuer, of Illinois, chairman of the house com-, mittee on coinage, says: "There will be no compromise on sil ver repeal. If the senate does not pass the repeal bill, there will be no repeal of the federal election laws and no tariff legislation, and none of the democratic measures which it was hoped this con gress would pans will be adopted. The hill to real the r lierman law will be kept before the senate, and will not be withdrawn before being voted on under any circumstances. There has never been anything known such as absolutely indefinite filibustering, and I don't be lieve a precedent will be established now. The opportunity must, I suppose, lie given to those who have not spoken to express their views, but when they have done so a vote on unconditional repeal cannnot long te delayed and the bill will pass." Coallotlsg AocoonU From Ble Londo., Oct. 2 A private cablegram announces that the rebel fleet at Rio Janerio bombarded that city all day yesterday, resulting in further damage to the city and a great loss of life. De tails as to the amount of damage and the number killed ashore and afloat are not given ; but it is presumed from the fact that firing was kept up all day the loss roust have been considerable on both sides. The cablegram adds that famine prices for provisions prevail in Rio. On the other band, the Brazilian min ister here furnishes the following dis patch, under date of jester lav, giving the government's side : "The insurgent squadron is still in the bay, though some weaker by daily deser tions. Some of the vessels have been damaged by the shore arti llery. The forts vigorously answered yesterday's bombarding. Two steamers wbich es caped have been repulsed at Santos. At Santa Catharina they failed to land. The troops are united, loyal to the gov ernment, and public opinion is opposed to the insurgents." Pnklio Dbt Btittme&t. Washington, Cct. 2. The public debt statement shows a net increase, less the cash In thfftreasury, during September, oftS34,793. There was a reduction of $408,277 in cash. The statement further shows : Interest bearing debt 1585,037,010 Debt on which interest has ceased 1.9M.770 Pebt bearing no interest S74.3G4,2e4 Total debt 9tl,38fl,C75 Gold reserve 93,583.172 Total receipts since July 1 79,379,417 Total expenditures 98,479,127 Decrease in customs 13,000.000 Decrease in internal revenue . . . . 6,000,000 The expenditures for pensions during the past three months was abont $3,600, 000 less than during the same time last year. The total increase in the circula tion of national bank notes during the past year has been $35,911,254. The certificates and treasury notes offset by an equal amount of cash in the treasury show an increase during September of $4,610,482. Abont the Mongolian Washington, Oct. 4. The foreign affairs committee have decided to report favorably the MeCreary substitute for the Everett bill. As agreed on, it ex tends the Chinese registration period of six months from the passage of the act. It strikes out the word "white" from the Geary act so as to permit the testimony of anybody except Chinamen to be adduced to prove "Chinamen are entitled to register." It defines a Chinese laborer. Geaiy offered his amendment requiring photographing in connection with the identification clause, but only secured three votes in its sup jiort. The majority deemed the regnla" tions of the treasury department suffici ent, Geary cast the only adverse vote. He declares the bill's teeth are drawn, that it is a makeshift in keeping with the course of the administration, and thut he will fight it tooth and nail. Tinkering With the Tariff. Washington, Oct. 3. The democratic members of the ways and means com mittee are making progress with the tariff bill. The ground work is under stood to be free raw material, with com pensatory reductions on other materials. There is a growing impression that the consequent deficit in the receipts will be met by increased intornal revenue taxes on whisky and tobacco. Carlisle is un derstood to favor au increased tax on whisky to $1.20, calculating this will in crease the revenue $30,000,000. Abont national Bank. Washington, Oct. 4. A member of the banking and currency committee said: "We intend to report a bill allowing national banks to issue circulation to the full amount of bonds deposited in the treasury." THE KING SALMON. Steps Being Taken to Provide More Eggs and Fish. FOR A FISH VI AY AT THE FALLS. In Company With the State Board, Fish Commlssloaer McDonald Examines the Falls. The official investigation of the Clack amas hatchery, the Cross mill dam ia the Clackamas river and the Willamette falls, which has been carried on by the United States Fisb Commissioner Mar shall McDonald during the past few days, terminated last evening, and the) state officials find themselves with some very valuable advice, which, if carried wut, bids fair to lend a new lease of life to the salmon industry on the Columbia; river. Mr. McDonald visited the hatch ery on Sunday morning. He found that Superintendent Hubbard has only been able to secure some 300.000 eggs, instead of 8,000,000, which be ought to have on hand at this time of year and which be could handle with ease. Then the com missioner started down stream to deter mine the cause of such a scarcity of fish. The Cross mill dam, wjiich is situated about a mile from the mouth of the stream, be examined carefully in com pany with Senator Cross, whom be hap pened to meet on the ground and who introduced himself to Mr. McDonald aa the "notorious Cross.,' Mr. McDonald last evening expressed the opinion that the only adequate fishway for that dam would be "an opening four feet in width extending from the top of the dm to the bottom of the river." If that remedy does not prove efficient he proposes that either the dam or hatchery must be re moved from the river, and in event of sucb an alternative he has promised to use bis influence in removing the former. SOME RECOMMENDATIONS. At the mouth of the Clackamas, Mr. McDonald found that it was the custom of the fishermen to stretch their gill-nets completely across the mouth of the river, making it almost impossible for salmon to enter the stream at all. As an im mediate remedy for this evil, he recom mends that the racks now in use at the hatchery be placed in the stream below the dam. This will practically put a stop to all fishing In the' Clackamas, as ' the law provides that no fishermen shall use gill-nets, seines, traps or wheels within one mile of the rack, under pen alty of a heavy fine. The commissioner further recommends passage of a law forbidding fishing within 600 feet of the mouth of any stream ascended by sal mon on their way to the spawning grounds. Senator Cross readily fell in with the idea of placing the racks below his dam, and promised to render material assistance by deeding to the United States government a sufficient amount of land upon wbich to work the racks. PROPOSED riSHWAT AT OREGON CITT. Yesterday morning Commissioner Mc Donald, accompanied by Governor Pen nover, State Treasurer Phil Metshan and FiBh and Game Protector McGuire paid a visit to Oregon City and spent three hours in examining the falls, with a view to selecting a site for the pro posed fisbway. In Bpeakingof his inves tigations, he said last evening that while he thought a fishway over the falls was practicable, and could be constructed so as to fall within the available appropria tion of $10,000, it would be impossible for hiu to make any definite 'statement at the present time. He proposes to have a government survey made of the falls, with reference to ascertaining the topography of the ground, the volume of water at high and low stages and the corresponding rapidity of the current. This will take time, so that it is improb able that any work will be done upon the fishway until next summer at low water. Arranging For th Mid-winter Fair. San Francisco, Oct. 4. The great mid-winter fair will be a success. People of the United States have now been educated to the point of knowing that the Midwinter Fair is not to belike the state or county fairs, with which every one is familiar but a great interna tional exposition 7 The foreign countries have all Bhown great interest in it and exhibits are assured from twenty-four different countries. From every quarter comes assurance of hearty co-operation, and opposition from no source, other than the unpatriotic Californians to whom allusion has been made. Applications for Bpaca on the part of those who wish to obtain concessions or to make exhibits are coming in very rapidly. The foreign commissioners receive many letters every day from tbeir countrymen abroad, asking par ticulars about the exposition or making applications for space, in which to show the product of their handicraft.
