Unlike the House of Representatives it is Bot a popular body, not a represéntative of | the Rot republican. Tt does not emanate from the people. but from bodies of middlemen. Majorities in these bodies have been bought, so that seats in the Senate have sometimes merely represented se many dollars paid directly or indirectly to venal legislatures. Moreover, our Senate fs not what it once was. It is a senate in Bame only, not in fact. The premature admission of sparse and crude western communities as states has wholly changed the character of the Senaie. The Senators from these little states, some of which have ®& population less than that of a county in an eaStera or middle state, instead of being modest and retiring, ate the most blatant and intrusive of all. I repeat we have no longer a senate in @ny proper sense of the word. If the Senate Ceased to exist in fact, why not, by a constitutional amendment, abolish it in law?

Thomas Francis, | 2d EDITION. GALE ON THE COAST. Terrible Storm at the Seaside Re- sorts. WIND BLOWING EIGHTY MILES AN HOUR. —____ No Reports Yet Received of Wrecks. | SURF GUARDS ON THE ALERT. ce es LONG BRANCH, N. J., Oct. 14.—A ter- Tifie storm passed over this place early last night. The wind was blowing strong all the afternoon, increased to a perfect gale by night fall and was accompanied by heavy rains. Fortunately there was no damage to vessels in this vicinity. The damage to shore front property by the storm and the very higa surf was slight. ‘The patroi of the life-saving stations were unable to make any progress along the beach during the night. All that remained of the wrecked schooner Thomas Havens, was completely demolished. ASBURY PARK, Oct. 4.—The West In- dian hurricane reached this section of the New Jersey coast shortly after 6 o'clock last evening. Warning of the approaching storm had been sent here by Chief Har- | tington of the weather department and preparations were made for it. At times the gale blew at the rate of seventy and eighty miles an hour. No wrecks have been discovered or heard from this morning. Nearly all of the telegraph and telephone wires are down and communication by wire is practically cut off from the outside world. ‘The storm probably reached its severest at 10:20 last night when it was utterly im- possible to navigate along the beach front. Orders had been issued early in the day for the patrol of United States life saving stations to be doubled and for a sharp look- out to be kept for imperiled vessels. It was impossible for the men to do more than hold their own duty on the sandy shore. The sea was runaing mountain high and as each breaker would strike the piers and pavilicns on the board walks the foam from them would envelop the beach for several hundred yards, blinding the men and impeding progress. It was thought that the unusually high tide must cause considerable damage. 2 aR CAUSED BY A LANDSLIDE. Wreck of an Express Train on the B. dO. CUMBERLAND, M4., Oct. 14.—Baltimore and Ohio ‘train, No. 46, through express from Chicago, was wrecked about midnight at Miller’s Hill, between Sleepy Creek and Cherry Run, about seventy miles east of | here. ‘The train was about six hours late | and was running at a high rate of speed. ‘The reins had loosened the earth of the mountain where the wreck occurred, and the result was a heavy landslide. Engineer James Dyche, formerly of Cum- berland, was running the train, and Charles Fennell of Martinsburg was firing. The train struck the slide square and the engine and six cars were turned over on the left slide. The track was torn up for 2) yards or more and it was at first re- ported that both men had been killed. When Dych and Fennell were released from the wreckage {t was found that Fennell was badly injured, while Dych suffered only a few scratches. Word was sent to the nearest telegraph station and a wreck train sent at once. Travel was delayed for sever or eight hours. The train was a solid express train made up at Chicago bound fot New York and carried very few passengers. Both men were taken to Martinsburg, where they re- side. Will to Mediate Between Spain and Morocco. PARIS, Oct. 14.—The Memorial Diplo- matique gives origin to a rumor that Great | Britain has offered her services as a media- tor- between Spain and Morocco in an at- tempt to settle the dispute between the last named coutries regarding the-in- niey demanded for the recent attack bys Moors upon the Spanish garrison at Melilla. i DROWSED AT THE PIER. A Stoker on the City of Rome Tried to Rescue a Passenger. NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—Rebecca McNair, twenty years old, a steerage passenger on the Anchor line steamer City of Rome, which sailed for Liverpool this morning, went out last evening with the head stoker, Wm. Smith, thirty-five years old. They returned to the steamer about 10:30 o'clock last night. In attempting to cross the gang plank she fell into the water, and elp. Gharies Hyneia who is employed on the docks, jumped in and rescued her. Later tt was noticed that Smith was missing, and a few hours later his body was found in the river. It is supposed he was drowned while attempting to save Miss McNair. ——_—- DR. PARKER RETRACTS. Withdraws His Charge Against the Bishop of London. LONDON, Oct. 14.—The attack made upon the established church Thursday night by Dr. Parker of the City Temple created a mild sensation in ecclesiastical circles, rar- ticularly among the friends of the Right Rev. Frederick Temple, bishop of London, who was singled out by Dr. Parker as a church dignitary who abused the authority given him by the church. This morning Dr. Parker announced that he withdraws the charge he made against the bishop. The specific charge that Dr. Parker made Was that the bishop had forbidden one of his canons to attend a temperance meet- ing in the City Temple. In commenting upon this alleg>d fact, Dr. Parker said: “If any bishop stoops to such a course as this there is but one party suiltler than he and that is the party sub- mitting to these conditions.“ I do not hesi- tate to declare here that one of the-first spiritual needs of London is that such a bishop as the bishop of London be expelled from his bishopric.” —+—_ SUNK IN THE CHANNEL. Five Sailors Lost in a Collision This Morning. LONDON, Oct. 14.—The steamer Marie | Henriette, plying between Dover and Os- tend, ran into and sank the Danish schoon- er Elmor this morning. There were six men on the schooner. The vessel sank so | quickly after she was struck that five of the crew went down with her. ‘The other man was picked up by a boat from the steamer. The latter was bound | for Dover when the accident occurred. ———— WIRES PROSTRATED. |Difieulty of Obtaining Telegraphic N NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—The heavy storm of last night has prostrated the wires in all | directions and the Western Union reports that business is practically at a stand- still. —- A BURGLAR ARRESTED. A Robbery Committed Last Night During the Storm. Last night during the storm burglars visited the residence and store of Mr. Charles B. Gant, 8%6 E street southwest, and carried off a large quantity of articles of every description, including a rifle, some | cigars and part of the stock in the store. The house was entered through the back way. This morning complaint was made to the police and about noon Lieut. Amiss ar- rested one of the burglars, a young colored man named Ottaway Johnson, in whose pos- session the officer found the gun, a penknife and several other small articles. He admitted his guilt and gave the name of the companion, who, he said, was with him when the robbery was committed. The prisoner was turned over to the offi- cers of the fourth precinct, where the rob- bery was committed, and'search is being made this afternoon for his alleged »-com- |plice. Johnson is twenty years old. PRICES FALL IN WALA. STREET. Loans, Deposits and Circulation of Banks Show an Increase. NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—The stock market opened quieter and lower.

Senators Have Agreed toa New Silver Proposition. it the Admit cept—Details of the Compromise to Be Presented to the Senate. tration Would Ac- The Senators who have been trying to get up a compromise have practically agreed upon a proposition for an amend- ment to the Voorhees bill, which is ex- pected to have the support of a majority of the Senators, and the purpose ts to have @ vote on it in the Senate on Monday or Tuesday. It provides for the repeal of the Sherman law to take effect on the Ist of «july, 1895; for the coinage of the seigniorage in the treasury; for the retirement of all notes other than coin certificates below $10 and for the issue of no coin certificates above $5, and providing for an amendment of the present law for the issue of bons so as to Umit the time for which any bonds issued may run to five years and limiting the in- terest to three per cent. It is said that there will be a majority voting for this amendment to the ill, | though all who vote for the amendment | may not-vote for the bill as amended. The amendment being adopted, it will then be for the Senate to determine whether or not they want to pass the bill as amended. The Administration's Side. It is asserted, that the Secretary of the Treasury has prepared a proposition for a compromise, embodying what the adminis- tration would agree to if compelled to take any sort of compromise. It is represented as providing for the repeal of thé’Sherman law; for the purch>se of 90,000,000 of sil- ver hereafter, divided into yearly purchases of 22,500,000 ‘a year; for the repeal of the state bank tax; for the coinage of the selg- niorage, and for authority for the Secretary of the reasury, at his discretion, to issue low interest bonds to the amount of a hun- dred and fifty millions to replenish the gold reserve. Such @ proposition will be introduced in the Senate by some one of the repealers when the administration ts satisfied that nothing better can be done. If the proposition got up by the compro- misers in the Senate is carried, out. this other proposition will probably figure in the conference between the two houses. The idea of the compromise got up by the Senators 1s to let the repeal,question enter into the next congressional election as an issue and then to leave it for the new Congress to deal with after the sus- pension of purchase had been in operation from July to the time of their meeting in December. =a e+, DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Crossing the Railroads. ‘The Commissioners several days ago di- rected Major Moore to find out the number of persons who crossed the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company at the intersections of R, S and T streets. The report shows that on Sun- day, October 8, 833 pedestrians, and 128 ve- hicles crossed ‘the railroad at the Restreet crossing. At the S street crossing %9 pe- destrians, and 81 vehicles. At the T street crossing 618 pedestrians and 61. vehicles crossed at that point. On Monday, October 9 the police report the following crossings: R street, 260 pedestrians and % vehicles; T streets, 210 pedestrians and 55 vehicles; T street, 192 pedestrians and 50 vehicles.

A surveyor, a clerk and three field hands. ‘The clerk 1s paid $1,100 per an- num, the field hands $1.50 per day when they’ work, and the remainder zoes to the surveyor. ‘Last year the receipts of the office were about $7,500 and the expendi- tures $4,848. In his letter upon the. subject, Surveyor Forsyth says the office of surveyut'fs 2a! Most important one, and if the presenk di becomes‘a law his duties will be greatly in creased. He will then be called upon to make surveys for the District, and being under the direction of the Commissioners will not recelye any compensation therefor, as at present. He says he hopes if the bili does become a law, and provision is made for an assistant surveyor, the latter be placed under the direction of the surveyor. Applications Dented.

The object of the bill eto re- move a cloud upon the title to sotiié prop- erty which was purchased when Gottwala was a subject of Great Britain.

Along 6th street in front of the Baltimore and Potomac depot the street had the appearance of a river during the severe rainfall, and at Smith's lumber yard, near the foot of 4th street southeast, many pieces of lumber drifted away.

The Commissioners received word this morning rom the building inspector that the frame work for the new barn at the Reform School had been blown down by the wind last night. The damage amounted to about $600. Word was also received that the Washington Asylum had suffered some- what from the effects of the storm and a couple of roofs were blown off the outbulld- RIVER FRONT DAMAGE. Flotsam and Jetsam Piled Thick Along the Wharv The storm of last night is said by river People to have discounted that of last Au- gust. The wind was not so fierce, but it came from the right quarter to be desper- ate, and the tide rose to a height unknown in years. Most of the wharves were under water and those which were not had very Uttle margin. The Potomac river swished @iong Water street, rolled over the wall of the flats, caused some breaks in the pave- Ment ™m front of the offices of the Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall Steamboat Company, and played havoc with craft and cargo. . Lumber, laths, shingles and cord wood were scattered to all points of the compass and today the river front presents scenes of great derangement and disorder. The fleet of sma pleasure craft suffered a severe knock out. oat houses will not recover from the shock in months. Many steam- boats and schooners look as though the in- Spectors could not O. K. them. The Notley fiail steamer W. W. Coit’ broke her lines, swung adrift from her moorings, barely avoided the Harry Randall and barked up the Samuel J. Pentz to a slight extent, She finally hove to against the ferry slip and Smashed in her port side just foreward of the’ wheel house. It is an awful wound and will necessitate liberal repairs. She lies across the ferry slip and today the Columbia is forced to use the Wakefield's berth, while the Pilot Boy is moored at the outer end of the pler. ‘The landing of the ferry at Alexandria was driven on the piles so that trips were suspended, but were Fesumed this afternoon. The 13th street dock of Johnson & Wimsatt was damaged and the piles of wood disarranged. At Riley's dock that part dedicated to the oyster and melon trade was lifted and badly wrecked. Considerable wood and lumber was floated off. The steamboat George Law is said to have dragged her anchor. The staging at Bennett's boat house was torn up and the sall yacht Mil- dred thrown up on some. piles. ‘The Skip Jack, out of commission, narrowly escaped injury. The dock of the Great Falls Ice mpatly came out all right, except for the loss of some materials stored on it. The wharf.of Carter & Clarke was considerably Much wood was drifted. Most of the stuff stored on Williams’ wharf on the Eastern branch was floated off; there was some loss from the eastern dock of the Great Falls Company; the wood freighter Mount Vernon was sunk at her whal Summers’ boat house fared badly; Martin’ whart. used now by Mr. Patrick Mann, got in the general shaking up, and scows were blown adrift.” ES The wharf of the Sanitary Company did Not escape unharmed, and the inside wharf at the Washington barracks underwent a change. Third street was full of drift wood and the water invaded the offices of Carter ‘andCtarke. Ritter’s boat house looks like cage eeattonux are smashed and cap- ; Yachts are keeled over; the platform d the landing Is torn out of shape. The steam launch Katherine Holbrooke, lying at the wharf of the old Washington and Nor- folk Steamboat Company. was sunk and the launch Nellie Marr was driven on the piles and had her bottom smashed. There was considerable loss from the dock of Barber and Ross and the dock of the har- bor police is blocked with flotsam. Some damage was also done at the wharf of the National Capital Tce Company and at Ste- venson’s wharf. The River View and Mat- tano docks came out all right. GEORGETOW) Crett Injured the City. A’atong the Georgetown river front the storm of last night vented its fury. Loaded scows were washed and blown pon the shore a long distance back. Two lighters or hoisting machines with all their attach- ments were brought by the winds from Lit- tlefield’s wharf, at the foot of G street, to Passeno’s wharf, near 32d street. One was thrown up on the wharf and seriously dam- aged, while the other was capsized and sunk. The Potomac Stone Company had several of their scows lost, and all the exposed ones @amaged, Two were carried up on the bank, though heavily laden with the pro- duct of quarries. Passeno’s frame boat house was com- pletely Wrecked, as were also the inclines and floats. Several small boats, too, were injured in his store house by the high’ water and falling timbers. Tavenner Brothers, the Georgetown wood and coal dealers, lost over fifty cords of wood, which were piled up on the old fish wharf. At Winship's wharf two canal boats were sunk, another wrecked and a third thrown high up on the outlet lock. All night long distress whistles were blown on the Potomac by tugs and other small steam craft. Had it not been. for these little rescuing boats the damage Would have been much greater than it is. ‘The bell diving machine at the foot of 32d street also suffered through a capsizing. All over town damage of a less serious nature was incurred. A stable on the Tu- dor place on the heights was knocked In and destroyed through the falling of an immense and old oak; the roof of Dr. Bal- dus’ drug store was ‘damaged; house 13% Sth street was injured on top; trees on numberless corners were thrown across the roadways, and other incidental damage was done. A rumor spread through town this morn- | ing that the Long bridge had been partly | blown away by the storm, and there was | great rejoicing. When the rumor was pro-| nounced without foundation, the rejoicings ceased suddenly. TELEGRAPH AND RAILROADS. Communication by Both Greatly In-| terrupted by the Storm. The city was cut off from telegraphic communication with the world at large last | night, and the service is still in a badly | crippled state. The Postal Union Company | suffered more than its neighbor, the West- ern Union. It suspended business entirely | with the outside world last night, and at| 10 o'clock had established connection only | with Baltimore and Alexandria, Baltimore | was the first place recovered. They had no wires north of there or south of Alexandria, and no western connection at all. The wires were gradually being picked up during the day, and the indications are that they will be in operation again in all directions in a short time. | The Western’ Union appeared to be in a little better shape this morning. They were making one wire duplex to New York, and had connection with Norfolk, Atlanta, Mem- phis, Jacksonville and New Orleans, and were sending matter west by way of Mem- phis. The regular western circuit did not work beyond Hagerstown. Ail matter 1s taken subject to delav, and press matter is being much belated.’ Press matter was not handled at-all by either telegraph com- pany last night, and many of the corre- spondentr sought to utilize the long-distance telephone, but with poor success. One face- tious correspondent sent word to the Sen- ate press gallery that the Senate might as well adjourn early, as their martyrdom would not be known to their constituents except through the mail. ‘The damage to the wires is thought to be more extensive between Baltimore and Philadelphia than anywhere else, but in the absence of information it is difficult to esti- mate the full extent. The telegraphic par- alysis by this storm is just about as severe as that caused by the hurricane of August 28, but it is expected that the recovery will be quicker this time. It is estimated that about half the telegraph wires in this city were affected by the storm. No poles were blown down, but the wires suffered from falling trees, &c. Manager Marean of the Western Union’ Company says that he €x- Pects to be doing business at the old stand as usual by Monday. The postal authori- ties are making prompt repairs and expect to be all right in a day or two. Local Wires Damaged. Once more the storm has proved the wis- dom of Superintendent Miles of the District fire alarm and telephone in pleading for an underground system of carrying the wires from place to place. In the sections where the underground system was in operation the wires are in perfect working order, as the conduit is proof against such storms as that of last night, but the overhead wires suffered considerable damage and left property almost unprotected in case of fire. Such a condition of affgirs was shown ‘at the Scottish Rite Sanctuary this morning, which building was protected from the wind by the high building adjoining. Although right in the heart of the city it was some time before the fire department could be summoned. Had the fire been among frame houses the failure of the overhead wires to operate might have caused a more serious fire and perhaps the loss of life. The wires were badly damaged in all sections and but few of the boxes were in working order. In the telephone service the same condi- tion of affairs existed and this morning the numerous calls for police stations were answered by “Trouble on the wires; can't t them.” S The linemen were sent out early thin morning looking for the breaks and nds and it is thought that by tomor- Fow a/ternoon all the wires will be in work- ing order. Rallroad Travel Stopped. The storm worked considerable damage along the lines of the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio rallroads last night. Very meager reports, however, concerning the damage have been received, owing to the complete destruction of the telegraph sys- tems of both companies. Along the line of the Pennsylvania road, however, washouts occurred st Cockpit Point and Powell's creek. At the end of the Long bridge the water flooded tracks and this morning had not subsived. The Pennsylvania road is using the Rich- mond & Danville tracks for communication with the south. On the Baltimore and Ohio no washouts occurred between here and Baltimore. The Patapsco river, however, is so high that transfer from Camden to Canton by barges has been dispensed with and passengers to Philadelphia and New York are transferred across the city in "buses. All of the trains from the west have been delayed and it is expected when the telegraph service gets to working that the reports will show considerable damage west of the Ohio river. STORM ALONG THE COAST. New York City Cut Of From the ‘World. Reports of wrecks by the storm alcng the Atlantic coast are reaching the Nf2-sav- ing service here. The first wreck reportel so far is from Chicamicomico, N. C., where the barkentine Ravenswood, from Boston, Mass., to Georgia ports, stranded at 11:30 yesterday morning one-quarter of a mile south of the station. The crew of ten mén was saved by means of the breeches buoy. For the second time this year the elty of New York was cut off from quick commu- nication with practically the whole United States. Again the Atlantic coast has been swept by a fierce West Indian lurricane. At midnight the ‘telegraph companies had to report that communication with the south beyond Philadelphia was entirely Suspended, and that the service to the west and northwest was so badly crippled as to be practically of no avail. New England alone responded promptly to the touch of the electric key, o hours before midnight New York came the scene of the battle of the a ments, says the World. It seemed all the Worse because of the sense of loneliness that followed the cutting off of reports from. other places where the storm had raged ‘regarding its results. Judging from the experience in New York this storm from the southern seas is even more se- Vere and is likely to leave a wider swath of distress than did even the great August hurricane from. the same region. much the same sort that which strewed with rece and carried death to thousands islands and pee the lowlands of the South At- signal service.

Opening of the Annual Meeting Today Committees Appointed and Sun- day Assignments Announced. A mingling of a business meeting with an experience meeting, the latter conducted with genuine Methodist spirit and fire, was the feature of the opening session this morning at Hamline Church of the thirty- sixth annual meeting of the National As- sociation of Local Preachers. The mem- bers of the association who were present, and they numbered about 100, as well. as their wives and the spectators, who oc- cupied the seats in the rear, enjoyed the heartiness of the spirit which ‘was mani- fested and also the disposition to keep things moving. Business was dispatched, ; but at the same time if any brother felt like getting up and saying what the Lord had done for him or was moved to lift a hymn he had the members of the con- vention with him, There was, however, a set program which was carried out, only the officer did not worry the members if’ everything did not move along according to the latest parliamentary rules. For example, the first half hour from 9 o'clock was set apart to be devoted to religious exercises. Rev. Geo. W. Finlaw ppresided. A small cabinet rgan had been on ‘tform, ard behind it. sat Prof Hudson, who ia well Known as the conductor of ‘song services. The chair occupied by the professor was just high enough to bring his genial coul tenance in view of the audience when he played and sang. He was responsible for a good deal of the musical animation shown by the convention, for his manner is in- spiration enough to draw.a volume of sound from the most reluctant and husky of threats. After a while the president of the association, Rev. John R. Wright, D. D., of this city, took the chair, and some prelimi- nary business was attended to. Committees Appointed. The following committees were appointed: Committee on public worship—the pastors of the city churches, Messrs. Jones, Ham- mond and Mooney. Committee on credentials—R. E. Hud- son, R. L. Dickey, Isaac Cook. Finance committee—Chas. A. Foster, R. L. Emery, Colton Amy, D. T. Macfarlan, J. W. Hackney, Wm. 8. Babbitt, R. 8. Me- Williams. Business committee—N. W. Walker, ¢. C. Leigh, George Finlaw, J. H. Simms, W. T. Hammond, John L. Hayghe, D. T. Mac- Committee on temperance—Chris. Sickler, R. E. Hudson, Colton Amy.

Prospects of the University. The convention listened to a number of addresses from the city pastors, and they were especially interested in the rema>ks made by Rev. Dr. Baldwin, the secretary of the Methodist University, who told the delegates of the progress made in further- many educational facilities in this city which were owned by the government, and said that the money value of all the muse- had made bequests in favor of the univers- ity. The preachers of the Methodist Church were taking hold and had started out to raise a good sum of money. He said that students. Dr. Baldwin's remarks were lis- tened to with close attention, and he was followed with a hearty round of applause. When 12 o'clock came the president called attention to that fact and said that the Jadies of the churches had provided a lunch in the lecture room and a cordial invita- tion was given not only to the members but to the visitors, The afternoon session was devoted to hearing the annual reports of the officers.

Millions of dollars worth of property was destroyed in the cities and towns along the coast, notably in Charleston, and the crops on the sea islands plantations were ruined. This August storm was followed by one of a milder character a few days later. Hence the hurricane that reached this city last night was the third this season to sweep the Atlantic coast. It was a storm born in the same West Indian sea that has within the past week created such havoc along the shores of the states bordering ‘on the Guif of Mexico. In August, 1873, there was one of these West Indian storms which swept the entire Atlantic coast. It is known to have wreck- ed 1,53 vessels and to have cost 223 lives. It was calculated that at least 600 lives were lost then of which no reports were ever received. The loss to the fishing industries of the United States and Canada alone at that time was more than $3,500,000. In 1880 there was another hurricane which struck the coast at Savannah. Four hun- dred lives were lost there, at Tybee,Chazles- ton and other pla More than $2,000,000 of property was de: ed. —_—— A Wom Exchange. From the Phtladelphia Ledger. The managers of the Woman’s Exchange in San Francisco are demonstrating the | value of such an organization in other and | more practical lines than as a depot for embroidered doylies and painted menu cards. They have rented a large and pleas- ant room on one of the principal business streets, and serve appetizing lunches at reasorable rates to the public. It is by no means a ladies’ lunch room, though the un- mistakable fine touch of woman's taste makes the place most attractive and home- like. ‘The window ts filled with a wealth of flowers, not gathered carelessly, but group- ed with a happy harmony of color.

Of course, without a good cook in the kitchen all these frills and furbelows would amount to little in the minds of men, but the cooking, done by a woman, is ex: ceedingly good. “The whole place is run by women, the only man being a Chinaman, who scours tins and keeps the floor clean in the kitchen.
