WHOLE COAST IS SWEPTBY STORM Terrific Gale Raging From Virginia to Maine. SHIPPING IS PARALYZED Many Vessels Out When Blow Began Are Unreported and Much Anxiety Is Felt for Their Safety—Property Damage Along Coast Estimated at One Million Dollars. New York, Dec. 8—The entire At-} lantic seaboard from Norfolk to Maine | is being lashed by a gale that at; some points has attained the velo:ity of seventy miles an hour, The storm has been blowing from the northeast for more than forty- eight hours. Shipping at many points has been completely paralyzed. Many vessels| which put out before the blow began | are unreported and much anxiety is; felt for their safety. At many points along the Jersey coast and on both shores of Long Is- land sound cottages near the sea; front have been undermined or are| being pounded to pleces. Scores of ! bathhouses have been swept to sea. It is estimated the damage will| amount to a million dollars or more. | Three vessels were smashed off Nave | sink. The Highlands reported a 8ap- | ing hole in the remaining walls that| let in a flood of water that demolish- ed raflway tracks and damaged build- ings to a loss of more than $100,000. Rallway Tracks Damaged. Rallway tracks at Normandie were washed away, preventing ample fire apparatus from reaching a $25,000 blaze in the Normandie hotel. The summer home of Secretary of War Garrison and many handsome homes at the same place are sur- rounded by water. Part of the board walk at Atlantic City was carried away. Part of the ballroom at the end of the steel pier is threatened, the foundations having been damaged to such an extent that the extreme end of the pier had to be lopped off. Two hundred men have been work- ing for hours to prevent further dam- age. Loss already amounts to $40, 000. The new retaining wall at Sea- bright, which was badly damaged a year ago, has broken in several places and bathhouses and cottages have been battered down. In many respects the storm is the worst that has ravaged the coast in many years.

J ANXIOUS TO CLEAN SLATE Members of House and Srnate Ready to ' Push Through Needed Legisla- tion in the Hope That an Extra Ses- sion Next March May Be Avoided. Washington, Dec. 8.—Congress got back to work again after a six weeks’ rest to what promises to be a billion dollar session. With crowded calen- dars confronting both houses, sena- tors and representatives settled down to passing the big appropriation bills and the administration program, which President Wilson will outline in his annual address, in the hope that a special session may not be necessary after March 4. In the house crowded galleries and congressmen of all three parties on the floor united in a remarkable ova- tion to Speaker Champ Clark as he mounted the dais and dropped his gavel. In the senate Vice President Mar- shall indulgently delayed formally calling the session to order while senators held an informal reception and exchanged greetings. Holds Record for Work.

Fight on Pork Earrel i Fights are also expected to oceur during this session on three pork bar- rel bills, the rivers and harbors, the public buildings and the good roads bills. One of the hottest fights expected on the apropriation bills is that on the armament question. The Euro pean war has strensthened the argu- ments of both the little navy men and the big navy men Over in the senate the problem is much more diflicult owing to the fact that there is no w of putting an end to the debates on any question se long as any members t to discuss it. Besides the conservation measures there are a number of other bills that have been acted upon by -the house, but which have not passed the sen- ate. Among these is the immigration bill. The point of difficulty about this bill is the literacy test.
