WASHINGTON, Sept. 24--A sample plate of a series of plates for the protec- tive decks of the cruisers Chattanooga and Cleveland failed to stand the required test at Indian Head to-day. It was sub- jected to the fire of a 6-inch gun at an angle of nine degrees and was complete- Iy shattered. About 120 tons of steel were in the lot of which the plate was a sample and ordinarily the coliapse of the plate would mean the rejection of the lot. But, as the sample selected was the worst plate to be found in the lot, another trial may be allowed.- The breaking up of the plate, it is said, indicates that the treat- ment of the plate was not uniform. e aethasit Glass-Workers on Strike.

At Least Eight Lives Lost and Hundreds Homeless. —_— MANY BUILDINGS RAZED Conservative Estimate Places at a Half-Million Dollars the Total Damage Done by the ® Storm. P BY F. A. HEALY. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. NOME, Sept. 13, via Seattle, Sept. 24.— Battered, beaten, buffeted and bruised, Nome's water front emerged this morning from the mcst terrific storm which has ever Leset it in the knowledge of the white inhabitants. The spectacle unfold- ed by the return of daylight was grand and territe beyond the power of pen to | describe, and the demage to property and | the losses of individuals were outside the possibility of computation. Though the fury of the wind had abated somewhat | and the tremendous tide had partially re- ceded, the angry waters still raged like a legion of furkes; monster waves pound- ed and dashed against the city, while an untold quantity of debris—lumber, piles, | wreckage of ships, barrels of liquor, tents, salls, masts, building paper, portions of buildings—covered the surface of the near waters and tumbled about in wild con- fusion with the impetus of the surf. Thou- sands of people braved the elements to feast their eyes upon a scene which will leave an everlasting impression on the memories of all. ‘Worst of all was the loss of life which attended the storm. Eight men are known | to have been lost. Thousands of people were bereft of their small belongings and rendered homeless by the washing away of their tents and houses. What the to- tal losses by the storm will foot up can- not computed definitely. Reporters who have gone carefully over the district | and obtained, as nearly as possible, est mates of the individual losses are satisfied that the whole will toot up fully $5 The first disaster of the fierce storm was the coming ashore of the Alaska | Commercial Company’s barge York, | which was heavily laden with winter pro- | visions. This occurred about 2:3) o'clock yesterday afternoon. At 3:30 o'clock the southeaster was piping a gale and the mammoth barge Skookum, proudest and stanchest of all the storm-tossed fleet, dragged her anchors and started on the Journey toward the beach and destruc- ton. ‘After the Skookum had dragged an hour or so the little tug America and a steam launch which were tied astern of the doomed barge began to show signs of succumbing to the heavy sea. They popped and bobbed about on the crest of the swells until both were caught broad- slde In the sea. Over they turned and shot headlong to the bottom. Captain Madison and the engineer of the tug are believed to have gone down to a watery grave. Nobody seems to know whether or not the captain and engineer were aboard the foundered tug, but all efforts to locate them last night and to-day proved futile. The thirteen men aboard the Skookum succeeded In finally getting ashore on a ighter, some with serious injuries, but without loss of life. Captain Peterson's and Lane's lighters all came ashore and played havoc with the rear of several Front-street buildings above and below the Alaska Commercial Company plant. C. D. Lane's tug Islam shared the fate of the America. The cap- tain of the Islam and two men lost their lives. The schooner Prosper is a wreck and Captain Geiser and one seaman have found a watery grave. In endeavoring to cross Snake, Andrew A. Ryan's small boat was overturned and Ryan lost his life. He had purchased a ticket and had intended to leave In a day | or two for his home 1in Los Angeles, | where he leaves a widow and two grown | daughters. His body has not been re- covered. The brunt of the storm and tide was sustained by the low beachland extend- ing from the office of the Kimball Steam- ship Company west to tne Spit and up Ri er street along the banks of Snake River. There the waters covered every foot of beach to the high ground on the north side of the district. River street became submerged to a depth of several feet. With the sudden rising of the tide the monster breakers came surging in from the sea, carrying ruin and destruction be- fore them. Buildings along the south side of River street were carrled a distance of two blocks and dashed against those on the opposite side. Among the prominent bulldings lost were the Riverside saloon, EISI completed three weeks ago by Walter arrieau; the Riverside printing office, the Theatre Comique building, Meyer's shoe £hop and residence, a new business bulld- ing just completed by T. J. Nester, Tony Tubbs’ restaurant and that of a company of Japanese; D. Ramsey’s building, used as a barber’ shop; Star Laundry, Camp- bell's secondhand store, Hammond's pho- tograph gallery, Fred Aiker's news stand, the Seattls store, the Nome Pure Water Company’s bullding, the cold storage plant and brewery, the Baltimore House, one of the handsomest structures on the street, and several others. Everythlng up to the Baltimore was wrecked, while beyvond that the balance of the buildings along the river bank were flooded. Only in a few instances were stocks and other goods even partial- 1y saved so unexpected and sudden was the onslaught of the waves. On the Spit across the way the destruc- tlon of property was complete to a point up to Dr. Grege's private hospital, The place was fairly crowded with tents and small frame buildings, and hundreds of people made their homes there. Varlous estimates are heard of the number of per- sons rendered homeless by the waters and the general opinion is that 1000 is a rea- sonable figure. That many of these un- fortunate ones will suffer severely is un- doubted. A serfous loss to the camp is the 10,000 tons of coal drawn into the sea. Owing to the lateness of the season, this may not be replaced and the supply of {\;‘elflfor the winter will be that much ort. INTERESTS THE COAST. Postoffice Changes and List of Pen- sions Issued.

IMMIGRATION FRAUDS. Wholesale Naturalization of Japan- ese at Vancouver. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, Sept. 24.—A deep-laid plot to defraud the Dominion Government de- veloped to-day in the examination of eleven Japanese, who were charged with having falsely sworn to their signatures on naturalization papers. One Japanese had arrived in Vancouver in March and was naturalized the following June. He created a sensation in court by declar- ing that he had never appeared before the notary in_his life. He said that he had gone to Skeena River on a fishing trip, and while there had received the blue paper, which he was told to keep. A Japanese contractor had obtained this for him and he did not even know what it meant. The paper evidently had been forged with the name of the witness, and the whole unlawful transaction, includin, tue sworn declaration that he had live: in the country for four years and was entitled to fishing and other privileges, was carrled out wfithuut the knowledge of the man whose name apneared on the paper and who was charged with offense. he Attorney General's department will to-morrow issue warrants for the arrest of several wealthy Japanese labor con- tractors who have railroaded through such a large number of their countrymen. - FIRE NEAR SANTA CLARA. Flames Devastate an Area of Nearly Eight Square Miles. Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA CLARA, Sept. 24—Forest fires have uweft over an area of nearly eignt square miles in the neighborhood of the Jesuit Fathers’ Villa, on Stevens Creek, twelve miles west of here. The fires start- ed on Thursday and have been fought de- terminedly by forces of men from Hub- bard & Carmichael Bros.' sawmiil, and from the neighboring farms and orchards. Hundreds of acres of pasture land and whole forests of fine timber have been burned. John Fatjo of this place, who returned this morning from two days of fire fight- ing, says heavy winds prevalled there, carrying flaming bunches of tree moss and burning limbs across open spaces a half mile in cxtent and starting _other fires. Hundreds of cords of wi and many barns, cabins and outbuildings were swept away and miles of fe fl’n‘ must be ‘en replaced. 'The Hubbard mills narrowly escaped destruction.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 24.—One of the big- gest deals in copper lands that has been negotiated in years is now on in Lower California. Montana people are back of it and little was known of their plans until a day or two ago when denounce- ments were made of several thousand clalms and $75,000 In Mexican money was dumped u)wn the desk of the Secretary of Mines for the upper district of Lower California. The records show that they have denounced more than 2000 copper claims commencing at the San Fernando, where the greatest number of the mines are located, and running through the country to the north as far as San Ysidro, where are¢ located the famous Tepustete iron ‘mines. The denunciations were made by Charles Benton_and the claims were picked out | by H. Ramsdale and surveyed by a min- | ing surveyor named Stevens. A Montana | man named Burns supplied the cash for the fees and it Is rumored about Ensenada | that he was acting for Marcus Daly. | —_— | SAN JOSE, Sept. 2.—The Common Council to-day passed sn ordinance raising the license of all saloons where concerts are given to §750 per annum.
