Lospox, Dec. 10.—The gale which set in last night has already done an immense amount of damage and has been attended with a number of fatalities. ‘The storm is fully equal in vio- lence to the two gales which have recently prevailed along the English channel and over Great Britain and Ireland. The meteorological disturbances which have oc- curred during the past few months have sel- dom, if ever, been paralleled in recent years, and the effects of the have’ been so widespread and disastrous that it will take a long time for the people, especially farmers, to recover from them. The damage to shipping has been ex- tremely heavy. In fact the losses incurred through wrecks and other maritime disasters have been so extraordinarily great that many underwriters have not becn able to stand the pecuniary strain. UNDERWRITERS GIVE CP. Up to today fourteen of the underwriters who were engaged in taking risks at Lloyds have withdrawn from the business. They have resigned from Lloyds. giving as their reason their inability to stand the losses they have incurred through the recent disasters caused by the phenomenally severe gales which have swept over the Atlantic and along the British and Ivish coasts. i ‘The gale at the present writing (1:30 p.m.) shows not the least sign of abatement; on the contrary it seems to grow in violeuce as the day grows oldey.

Large bodies of heavi ling the streets disquict on every side there has been no overt Looked Into in the House. : One of the first subjects to occupy the atten- tion of the foreign affairs committee after the organization of the committees of the House by Speaker Crisp will be that of the barsh treatment of Hebrews by Russia. ‘This question will be earnestly pressed upon the attention of the committee, and it will be urged to go as far as possible in expressing its sympathy with the Russian Hebrews in their distress and to take such measures consonant with the usages of diplo- macy as will tend to secure an amelio- ration of their condition. This government wili be asked to continue the use of its good ofices as. an intercessory with the czar in be- half of the Hebrews. “The President in his message devoted some space to the question of the wholesale banishment of Hebrews from Rus- sia and to the endeavors which this government had thus fer put forth in their behalf. The sub- Ject will be brought to the attention of the com- mittee probably by the introduction of a tor- mal resolution, but the customary distribution of the various portions of the President's mes- sage will bring the matter before the commit- teo in the absence of any resolution whatever.

He took a deep interest in the question of Russian treatment of the Hebraws, and wished to be in ® position where he cou!d do the most effec- tive work.
