md who watched with fear and trem-
ling the headlong career Of the storm
hat threatened at one time to engulph
IS in destruction, can afford to
ympathize with the stricken people
Il Halifax and the surrounding
country swept, as the telegraph this
morning tells. almost bare Of houses,
Iarns, trees, or anything else above
ground. Since the fatal cyclone which
a year ago played such havoc in India,
and the tidal-wave which destroyed
hundreds Of miles Of the
south Pacific coast, no dis
Ister Of 50 great magnitude has been re-
ported. Two hundred miles of country
nave been laid waste, more than one
hundred vessels have been blown
ashore, and huge stone breakwaters
and wharves have been swept away
ike chaff before the wind. Added to
which there is the destruction of large
stores Of provisions in a country largely
dependent upon other regions for food.
Of course the people Of the dominion, of
New York and New England who profit
40 largely by the labor and industry of
he people Of Halifax, will be prompt
10 succor them and will see to it that
winter does not find them wanting the
necessaries Of life. They have our
heartfelt sympathies.
