The old est Inhabitant is forced to admit that the terrific outburst 'of wind and wave that swept through the city surpassed any storm In his day or generation The tide was the highest ever known here. On the river the waves dashed with tremendous force against ware houses and vessels. The tide, quickly covtiiing the lowlands opposite the city, stretched In an unbroken sea across the rice fields as far as the eye could reach. The troubled stream bore an Immense quantity of wreckage. The high water did considerable damage at Water street. All the wharves are under water and the flood swept through the lower floors of the ware houses. The city wharves were wash Ed up and landed bodily on Water street. The only loss of life yet known reported from Sampson, where a tree fell on the house of a farmer named Lane and crushed his two chil dren to death. The total loss In this Immediate section will probably reach $150,000. Cleveland, Oct. 14. The storm which began at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon ccntinues with unabated violence. It has rained all day, and the water Is still coming down In sheets. Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 14. Tidings of the damage by the storm along the ccast of Florida are jus tbeglnning to come in. AH along the line of the In dian and Hillsboro rivers towns are flooded, vharves swept away, and houses unroofed, and from ten to fif teen per cent, of th eoranges were blown from the trees. So far no loss of life is reported. The wires are all down. New York, Oct. 14. A special to the Daily American from Boston, Mass., says: The southern hurricane spent Its force In New England between mld- Ight and noon today, doing a large amount of damage to shipping and wires. Columbus, S. C. Oct. 14. A special to the "State" from Georgetown, S. C, tells a terrible story of devastation nil death wrought by the hurricane n and around that city and the ad lacent sea Islands. The entire water front of Georgetown Is flooded and much damage has been done to mor- handise stored in tha warehouses. Tt Magnolia Beach almost every house Is washed away and thirteen white and six colored people were drowned. Chicago, Oct. 14.-As a result of the fearful wind and rain storms, tele graphic or telephonic communication between this city and New York, Washington, or Boston, and a large part of the South Is next to impossl- le. Almost the entire Atlantic coast Is cut off and the effects of the storm have been felt over a thousand miles Inland. Washington, Oct. 14. A storm of the hurricane variety passed over the city last night. The storm abated at day light this morning, and by "8 o'clock the sky was clear. Justice Brown of the supreme court, while trying to close a window lost night, was struck by a piece of plate glass In the right temple, cutting a severe gash and sev- rlng an artery. But for prompt medi cal attendance, he would have bled to death. New York, Oct. 14. The complete prostration of tha telegraphic service seems to be the most serious result of last night's storm. So far, no marine disasters have been reported. Baltimore, Oct. 14. The flood ex tends a mile from the river front. There have been no wires since last evening. Many washouts are n-ported. TALK OF A COMPROMISE. Washington, Oct. 11. Today was pregnant with rumors of a compromise and an agreement on the silver ques tion. Enough is known to lead to the conclusion that mutual concessions have been made, and the statements of senators justify the hope that be. fore next week hafl passed there will be a movement towards a settlement of: the question. Just what the com promise will be cannot be said, but that which meets with the most favor contemplates about the some provhv Ions as the Harris amendment, com blned with the bond provision. ; UN JON PACIFIC FAILURE.

SENATE IS II BAD TANGLE Dubois Tries to Wor a Scheme Willi Peflcr, BUT IT, PB0VED A B00MEAANG Several f the Senators Introduce Mo. tlons for New Rules, Which are All Important Associated Press. Washington, Oct 14. The tangle which resulted in the adjournment of tho senate Inst night was the result of a cleverly devised scheme worked by Dubois and Teller. They discovered that while a quorum was present for all purposes where pairs could be dis regarded, there was not a quorum on points demanding the observation of pairs. Teller also discovered that tho rules provided that a public document which had been once read could not be rend again except by unanimous con sent. Peffer was speaking at the time and soon fished up a public document. Teller raised a point of order against the reading. The chairman decided against the point, and an appeal was taken. This was what the silver men were looking for and a roll call was ordered, Bhowlng no quorum present. Then the repeal men stepped In an other trap. Vilas tried to force Du bois to vote. After a long debate an ef fort was made to show that the sen ate could not excuse Dubois from vot ing, resulting In another lack of a quorum and the senate was forced to adjourn. The pending question Is the effort to make DubolB vote, and It Is Vilas' intention to have Dubois cen sured. This, It Is stated, will bring out a nice constitutional question and de velop a debate which the Bllver men claim will last a month at least. Con sidering the late- hour of adjournment last night, there "Was a liberal attend ance at the opening of the senate this morning. Though he has made no an nouncement on the subject, Voorhees says he will not ask the senate to Bit tonight, but will ask for an adjourn ment about six this evening. Morgan occupied the morning hour with a fa cetious speech In reply to the criti cisms of some Alabama newspapers. Not much activity was manifest In tho matter of a compromise, but it Is helleved that something definite will be ready for offer to the senate by tho beginning of next week. Notice was given of the proposed mendmonts to the rules of the senate as follows: By Lodge of iit.f,t.u'hu.ictts: "It tiiull not bo In order for a senator to read a speech, either written or printed. Also, when tho senate refuses to excuse a senator from voting ho shall be count ed as present for tho purpose of mak ing a quorum." By . Stewart of Nevada: "That no Benator interested in a national bank shall vote upon any question affecting coinage or issue of currency by the government, or through the Instru mentality of the national banks." By Galllngeir of New Hampshire: "When a majority of the senate Bub mlt a request in writing, through the chair, that the debate close, the re quest shall be referred to the commit tee on rules, whose duty It shall be within five days to report an order naming the day and hour when a vote shall bo taken and action upon such reports shall be made without amend ments." Resolutions were offered by Dolph of Oregon, referring to the committee on privileges and elections, and question, lng whether absent senators may bo "compelled" to attend. These were taken up and agreed to. The senate by a vote ,of 28 to- 37 declined to excuse Dubois of Idaho from voting. His name was thereupon called. He refused to answer. This ended the affair and the repeal bill was taken up, Jones of Nevada, speaking tn opposition to it. A SPEEDY PORTLAND HOUSE. Oakland, Cal., Oct. 14.

Crossing the En gllsh channel, the steamer Marie Hen rietta ran Into and sang a Danlnh bark. Six of the crew were drowned. Of the fourteen huge masses of me teoric Iron that fell on a Bpot less th.tn sixty-four square miles In area near Fort Duncan, Mexico, the largest Is bee-hive shaped and Is burled five feet n the soil and rises four feet above the surface.

Almost ev?ry medieval mon arch claimed the whole or a part of the ' dominions . of al most every other, aim insisted on inserting his claim In his list of ofllolal titles. In treaties and all official doc uments the whole list was religiously copied, and as It often happened th " the two negotiating monarchs had some of the same titles, It became usu al to Insert a clause In the list, nan plaejudlcando, in order v to ' Indicate that, no matter how absurd, inappro . prlate or untrue were the titles, tlu were understood to be Inserted because " they pleased the monarch who claimed them, and they did not confer a valid claim, and so no harm was likely to result from their UBe. . In Santa Clara county, California, there grows a weed called the rattle snake weed.

On the top of the stalk comes a head of flowers, and the seeds of these flowers are said to bo very annoying to one In punning through a mass of them. '. i th: y ate furnished with sharp barbs commonly called stickers. The early settlers who had herds of sheep al ways made their herdsmen keep with them a bottle of strong) ter made of rattlesnake weed, end when any of tho sheep were bitten they were drenched with this tea, which always savoJ . them.

The King of Slam Is the only person before whom It bows the knee, and a similar salutation is rendered It by the mon arch. ' RECEIVER'S NOTICE.
