A HEAVY GALE.
Many Vessels and Steamers Crew
LOst-The Sea the Highest Ever
Known.
ST.. JOHNS. N. F.. Dec. 8,

ST. JOHNS, N. f., Dec. 3.
Cape Race telegraphs that a fearful hurri-
cane from east-northeast prevailed last night
The sea rose higher than ever before known.
1t swept away inland bridges, drove the cape
light boat high up on the shore, threw the
wrecked hull of the steamer Herder fifty feet
on shore and drove large quantity of wreck
age close into the strand. Among this are
the whole side of large ship, booms, gaffs,
yards, water casks and general debris.
Placenta despatch says that two vessels
were driven in on the reefs at Goose Cove
and Musselbank Point. One is the Star of
ST. Johns and the other is the Alice Mary,
bound from St. Johns to Charlottetown. The
fate of the crew is not learned.
The British steamer Creighton, lumber
laden, Bangor for Glasgow, arrived this even
ing, seven days out; short of coal and has
her cargo shifted. The wind is blowing now,
accompanied by rain storm.
ST. JOHN, N. B Dec. 8.
Steamer Newfeld arrived here tonight.
She left Maccan Sunday morning with the
steamer Princess Louise in tow. Late that
night during the gale the hawser broke and
the Newfield lost sight of the Princess Louise.
She cruised around all day, searching, but
could not find her and finally came to St.
John.
HALIFAX, n. S., Dec. 8.
report from Digby says that while the
government steamer Newfield was towing the
new ship lost near that place, the hawser
parted and the vessel went ashore near Point
Prlm lighthouse, striking against bluff of
rock. Capt. Brown of the Newfeld was on
board the ship with nine men, only two of
whom were saved. Capt. Brown was
drowned.
HALIFAX, Dec. 8.
The vessel which went ashore at Point
Prim while being towed by the steamer New
field was the new steamer Princess Louise.
which was launched at Maccan on Saturday
by Jonathan O'Brien of the Dominion gov
eminent. Dane and Soil, the sole surviv-
ors were in the cabin when the steamer
struck. They state that all on board includ-
ing Capt. Brown, were swept away by the
heavy sea. The Princess Louise has broken
to pieces. None of the bodies of those lost
have been recovered. The storm still pre-
walls and nothing can be done until it abates.

On November /. 1883, under the act of

of standard silver dollars amounting to $780,

The Secretary would not advise the crea-
ton of another or a different form of
public debt rs basis for national
banks, he would rather assist the banks to
continue as they are,by taking off the tax upon
eirculation.by allowing their circulation TO the
amount of 30 per cent upon the average mar
ket value for the twelve months prior to the
deposit, of the u. S. bonds deposited on Sc
curity, and by other methods which may be
suggested to Congress.
The report disapproves of propositions to

not improve the chances Of the democracy
in the Northern States. Before the caucus
was held which nominated Carlisle, the
New York Sun, speaking tor its friends in
the Northern States said: when the
leadership of the democratic party in Con-

democratic vote fall off in States north Of
the Ohio River and north Of Mason and
Dixon's line" The Sun probably UNDER

democratic party. What will the Sun and
northern democrats do about iiP Will
they eat dirt at the dictation of their South
erp masters?
