loss than 300 lives nnd property val
ued nt $10,000,000 swept away In
tho tidal wave which swopt tho coasts
of Louislnnn, Mississippi and Ala
bama Monday and Tuosdny.
Almost every tolograph lino run
ning Into tho city is prostrated, and
when communication with tho outly
ing districts Is restored tho list of
casualties Is almost certain to ho
greatly Increased. '
For 25 miles tho stato const lino
of Louislnnn was swopt by tho hugo
tidal wavo, which rolled suddenly
upon tho homos of G000 fishermen
nnd plnntors. ScoroB of theso, It is
feared, havo met death as tho water
swopt lnlnnd nt least two miles,
Tho only means of communication
with tho flood-swept district Is by
tolophone, nnd only a fow of theso
aro In yorklng order.
In this city alono 300 city blocks
nro undor water, nnd tho proporty
loss will run Into tho thousnnds.
8cores of lives aro almost cortnln
to havo boon lost, but only n house
to house canvas will rovoal an accu
rate list of the casualties.
Yesterday's reports hnd 30 dead In
this city alono, but It Is feared that
this number will be greatly Increased
by today's rovolatlona.
Rofugoes arriving today from tho
southwest coast of Louisiana Bay tho

Island on tho West to Vermillion
parish. Thoy aro predicting tliat at
least 300 lives woro lost In this
strotch of territory alono.
Reports from Alabnma nnd Miss
issippi nro slowly coming In. Tho
rlco and cotton crops nro said to havo
been completely rulnod.
Tho property loss In Alabnma, It
Is roportcdf h almost as great nsHhat
wrought n Louisiana. Hundreds of
homos havo boen Inundated. Tolo
graph communication In tho flooded
d'strlct Ib prostrated, and tho exnet
damngo caused by tho storm will
probably not bo known for several
day 8.
A meseano was received at Mem.
phis, Tenn., from Now Orleans this
morning stating that 40 wero known
U be dead In tho latter city, and that
tho loss In Louls'ana will bo over
5,000,000.
All railroad traffic In tho states of
Louisiana. Alabama and Mississippi
Is at a standstill, and n numbor of

cities In tlioBO states that atartod bo
foro tho storm stnuck havo not beon
heard from.
Two hundred bargca of coal woro
sunk in tho Mississippi nt New Or
leans. At Lobdell. Ln., 100 other
bargoi loaded with cqal, also wont

cced $1,000,000.
Tho low of life to flshormon who
wero plying tholr trade when the
storm broko cannot bo estimated at
tins time.
The Louisiana coast swent hv thn
tidal wavo Is low and swampy, and
much of it hag been dammed for tho
production of rice. A number of tho
planters had their homes near tho
coast, which Ib very Irregular, and
It Is feared that tho water, In places,
marooned little colonies of fisher
men and planters. Thero are vory
few towns of any Importance nlong
this part of tho coast.

Ing of tho war, which ho bolloves la
Inevitable, Lord Northcllffo said:
"Tho facts nro plain. We know

I fear any optimism Is foolish."
Moborly Bell expressed himself
much In the same strain as did his

"I do not think there Is any doubt
that there will be a war betweon

Los AngoloH, Sopt 22 - 'When

ho will find that cortnln provisions

uii) i csumng mucn comment among

which toqk thin inians of assorting
their confidence thnt Flint wns un
aware of tho Impending ralso In rati
for lemon shipments botweon south
ern California and eastern points
when the Aldrlch tariff bill was
passed.
Tho abovo statement was mado to
tho fruit men gathered around tht
banquet bonrd. Flint furthor declared;
"Tho actions of tho transcontinen
tal freight association In raising the
lemon shipment rates nhowod bold
ness and lack of knowledgo of the
temper of the American peoplo; I
know of no notion that could huvt
beon taken by the railroads that It
more certain to forco further rail
road legislation than this unwarrunt
nblo and unjustified procedure.
"No severer blow could have beon
struck tho protective tariff policy
Nothing could have beon done that
would havo glvon opponents of tht
tariff policy a better urgumont thuu
that tho benefits of tho turiff ehoulfl
go to tho railroads and not to the
