NEWS FROM THE METROPOLIS
Stormy Weather.

New YORK, Nov. 2O.-The storm
which commenced late Saturday night
and prevailed all day yesterday still
continues with unaDated violence. The
fall OF rain is not heavy, but the wind
blows perfect hurricane.
The steamer Franklin
has not yet come in but is, supposed to
be near the Sandy aook Light Ship.
A heavy fog hung over the Bay all night
and the wind blew furious northeast t.
er, and had the officers of the Franklin
desired, they could not have found a
pilot daring enough to attempt to take
the vessel over Sandy Hook Bar in such
storm. The Franklin will probably
cruise outside until the storm abates.
The Herald
says the news Of the concentration of
troops at Washington need not occasion
any alarm. The President and his ad =
visers claim it is wise precaution to
have respectable body of troops at
hand until after the 4th Of March. They
do not fear any outbreak or disturbance, =,
but simply provide for all possible
emergencies.
Government Stores Burned.
A fire yesterday on Bedloe's Island,
in New York Harbor, where large
quantities Of Government stores are
kept, entirely destroyed the Quarter
masters building, and Quartermaster
and Commlssary stores tV the value Of
about $15, 900.
Senator Blaine
passed through this city Saturday. In
a conversation he said there was no
foundation for the rum0r from w ah.
ington connecting his name with the
Presidency of the Senate. The tradi-
tions of the Senate parliamentary usage
and his own personal wishes would be
all equally against such step. Re-
garding the Presidential question he
expressed the opinion that both
Hayes and Tllden has exhibited a de-
sirable prudence and propriety during
the present crisis, and to their bearing
he thought was due in great part the
cessation of public excitement on the
question. Ii everybody will follow their
example conclusion satisfactory to all
parties will be ultimately reached.
