Great Damage on the Coast and in the Intertor. Crrx or Mexico, Oct. 2—The destructive coast cyclone that caused the great loss to shipping along the Atlantic seaboard, switched into the gulf and lashed the coast of Cam- Peachy as it was never lashed before. The re- ports of the great storm have been slow in reaching news centers, owing to the fact that telegraph lines connecting with the peninsula have been prostrated and the news was brought to Vera Cruz by a sailing vessel. What damage it bas done outside of Del Carmen is not known, but if ithas been as destructive as it was then there can be but little shipping left. The hurricane was so strong in the city of Carmen that it pulled trees up by their roots and deposited them upon houses which THEY CRUSHED LIKE EGG SHELLS. The inhabitants were terrified and missiles of all kinds were flying about the streets, knock- ing in windows, destroying vegetation and keeping the ple from seeking safety in the open air. e scene among the-sailors in en- deavoring to save their vessels was in some in- stances and in others heartrending. Vessel after vessel was driven ashore. An in- ventory of the number of craft that are com- plete wrecks gives an exact idea of the de- structivences of the storm, Twelve fore’ barks, some of them high and dry on the beach, others partially sut merged and still others with their masts sticking out of the water; two steamships and twenty schooners and many smaller craft complete the list in Carmen har- bor. The number of lives lost still remains un- told. Itis expected that the government re- port of the great storm will soon be published: furnishing the only authentic news which will ever be obtainable of the work of the burri- cane, —____ A DIVORCE TO BE SOUGHT.

Large Attendance in New York Today —The Subjects to be Considered. New Yorx, Oct. 2—The general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church opened this morning in St. George’s church, Stuyvesant square, This is looked upon as one of the most important conventions ever held by the church in this country. This is the centennial anniv of the adoption of the constitution of the Protestant Episcopal church and of the holding of the first general convention as prescribed by the church constitu- tion, It is also notable for the number of im- portant subjects to come up before it, One of the questions to be settled is the proposed aoe of name of the church, many being op- posed to the present name, Another impor- tant question is that of proportional represen- tation. There are also eighteen resolutions | aks ea ing “alterations and additions in tne Rook of Common Prayer,” which were adopted at the Chicago convention three years ago and which will come up _ be- fore the present convention for final action. The general convention consists of two houses, the house of bishops, number- ing forty bishops, and the house of deputies, consisting of over 400 lay and clerical dele- gates, two of each from each diocese. THE OPENING EXERCISES. The convention opened today with the reli- gious, exercises, theregular morning commun- ion service being celebrated. At 11 o'clock eve seat in the church was occupied’ While the large assemblage sat patiently waiting the opening of tne service there rose softly at first, and then growing stronger, the clear voices of St. George's choir of men and boys. The choir marched down the center aisle to the entrance and were joined by several of the clergy of the church in clerical robes. Meanwhile, the forty bishops composing the house of bishops had assembled in the Memorial house on 6th street, and from _ it they marched in pecceaion, clad in their silk gowns, lawn sleeves and other insignia of their Episcopal dignity. * They were met at the entrance of the church by the clergy and committee of arrangements and the choir of menand oye The choir singing the proces- sional marched slowly back to the chancel, fol- lowed by the bishops. The latter on arriving at the chancel took seate within it, At their head there walked Bishop Williams, the old- est bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church in America, The simple and well-known morn- ing service was then begun and proceeded until Bishop Whipple of Minnesota ascended to the pulpit to preach the sermon of the day. a FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL The New Series Stock Market. ‘The following gre the onening and closing prices the New York Stock Market, es, reported by special first to apply for work there, and only the ¢x- so ertions of Tillet and other leaders prevented 49%! 48% an organized invasion of the Dutch seaport. sal Baig ee e I bey The police were on the side of the London aX strikers, There were no thoughts of using the military against them and they assaulted with perfect impunity any unfortunates who were unwise enough to trust to the laws to protect them. Still this class quickly recognized the difference between England and Holland. In the latter country the police and military have not hesitated to repress physical violence and the Englishmen will be boughtoff by the Dutch strikers, which is precisely what they went over to Holland for, There is not a more cunning being on the face of the earth or one more ex- pert in the artof getting along comfortably without work than the nominal British laborer. CONSUL EDWARDS NOT DISTURBED. Consul Edwards is not much disturbed by the abuse lavished upon him by certain Berlin journals, whose animus is not at all difficult to explain. Their allusions to the United States making Berlin a training school for ambitious | }; but inexperienced civil servants are by no means apropos, as the real cause of the bitter hatred conceived against him by the dealers whose profitable trade he has interrupted is wooly that he is too acute to be made a Sar of by them. The revelations made by the committee of inquiry into the condition of the tailors and seamstresses of London might be paralelied by a similar examination into the wages and condition of the corre- sponding class in Berlin. Nowhere are there more meriless sweaters than the intermediaries between the cloak makers there and the work- ers, although it must be acknowledged that there are_no such foul and crowded workshops im the German city as disgrace the English capital, NO CATTLE TRADE WITH GERMANY. In this connection it may be said that there is no certainty that the cattle trade with the interior of Germany will prove a permanent traffic, notwithstanding its promising begin- Bee de . |Unio Wabash. wea Eataii ——_.__.

Before proceeding to the department the del- ates had their pictures taken in a group at the Wallach mansion, where the congress will meet. A few minutes after the noon hour the delegates, headed by Assistant Secretary Adee of the State department, walked in rocession from the diplomatic ante-room the diplomatic reception rooms in pairs, the Brazilian delegates were attired in bril- liant uniforms resplendent with gold lace, but all the others wore plain black clothes with the exception of Captain Bourke of the United States army, one of the aides to the congress, who wore his cavalry uniform. Some of the delegates were — attired in evening dress and carried opera hats As soon as the delegates had assembled®in the re- ception room the doors were closed and the proceedings inside were conducted secretly. Only those persons who had credentials to the congress were allowed to remain in the apart- ment. When the delegates had assembled in the room Secretary Blaine passed around among them and greeted each in an entirely formal manner. ll the delegates were present except T. J. Coolidge of Boston, who will join the delegates | fy athis city, After a few minutes of chattin, Secretary Blaine took his stand at the head oi the long central table in the room and, using large pair of shears as a gavel, called the meet- ing to order and made the fallowing address: Mr. Blaine’s Address. Mr. Blaine said: Gentlemen of the interna- tional American conference. Speaking for the government of the United States I bid you welcome to this capital, Speaking for the people of the United States I bid you welcome to every section and to every state of the Union, You come in response to an invitation extended by the President on the special authorization of Congress, Your presence here is no ordinary event, It signifies much to the people of all America today. It may signify far more in the days tocome. No conference of nations has ever assembled to consider the welfare of ter- ritorial possessions so vast and to contemplate the ‘ibilities of a future so great and so in- spiring. Those now sitting within the walls are empowered to speak for nations whose bor- dersare on both the _ Bapenagp pear eho northern limits are touched by the Arctic waters for a thousand miles beyond the Straits of Behring, whose southern extension furnishes human habitations farther below the equator than is elsewhere possible on the globe. The aggre- gate territorial extent of the nations here rep- resented falls but little short of 12,000,000 of square miles—more than THREE TIMES THE AREA OF ALL EUROPE, and but little less than one-fourth part of the globe; while in respect tothe power of pro- ducing the articles which are essential to human life and those which minister to life’ luxury they constitute even a larger propo! tion of the entire world. These great posses- sions today have an ogeregate population ap- proaching 120,000,000, but if peopled as densely as the average of Europe the total number would exceed 1,000,000,000. While considera- tions of this character must inspire Americans, both south and north, with the liveliest anticipations of future grandeur and power, they must also impress them with asense of the gravest responsibility touching the char- acter and development of their respective nationalities. The delegates whomI am addressing can do much to establish permanent relations of con- fidence, respect and friendship between the nations which they represent. They can show to the world AN HONORABLE AND PEACEFUL CONFERENCE of seventeen independent American powers, in which all shall meet together on terms of ab- solute equality; a conference in which there can be no attempt to coerce @ single delegate against his own conception of the interests of his nation; a conference which will permit no secret understanding on any subject, but will frankly publish to the world all its conclusions; a conference which will tolerate no spirit of conquest, but will aim to cultivate an Ame! can sympathy as broad as both continents; a conference which will form NO SELFISH ALLIANCE AGAINST THE OLDER NATIONS from which we are proud to claim inherit- ance—a conference, in fine, which will seek nothing, propose nothing, endure nothing that is not, in the general sense of all the delegates, timely and wise and peaceful, ‘And yet we cannot be expected to forget that our common fate has m: us inhabitants of the two continents which at the close of four centuries are still regarded beyond the seas as the new world.
