WASHINGTON, November PA
heavy storm has prevailed during the
past two days through Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, New York, and along the
lower New England coast. Along the
shore the tide was extraordinarily high,
and inland snow fell to the depth Of
from six inches at Westminster, Md,
TO two feet at some points in the coal
regions Of Pennsylvania. In the latter
district railroad traffic is so greatly im-
peded that work was suspended at some
Of the collieries because the product
could not be moved. In this district
there is now considerable dread Of warm
weather, as thsw would cause disas-
tIous fTeshet.
At Hunters Point, on Long Island,
opposite New York, and the terminus
Of the Long Island railroad, the tide
rose this morning to depth Of several
feet over Dock street for the distance of
a hundred yards, rendering foot travel
TO the ferries and railroad impossible.
Wagons could not get aboard the ferry
boats. the latter being several feet above
the ferry-foats. The greater part Of
Coney Island is almost submerged.
Brighton Beach race-course is flooded.
The horses have been taken away from
the stable and there was no racing to-
day.
At Sheepshead Bay the water on the
boulevard is six feet deep, the base
ments and first floors Of many houses
being flooded, and their occupants COM
PEELED to move the furniture to the up
per floors. Many small buildings have
been carried away. No serious dam
age has as yet been reported. but it is
feared that more Of the beach near the
hotel will be washed out, and the base
ment Of the hotel and yard of Brighton
Beach railroad flooded. Very many
waterside villages on both sides of Long
Island are half submerged.
There was very high tide at New
port last night, and many wharyes were
flooded. At places on Long Wharf
row-boats had to be used to get to the
shops. There is a heavy sea outside Of
Newport bay to-day, and the surf at
the beach and cliffs is magnificent. The
Block Island steamer failed to make its
trip. A higher tide is feared tonight.
At Fall River, Mass, an earthquake
wave in the lake at $3.50 o'clock this
morning caused the tide to rise three
feet above mean high-water mark. No
damage is reported.
A similar extraordinary tide and
heavy gale prevailed all along the Jer-
sey coast.
At Ocean Beach, n. j., the ship
Malta, which was rebuilt from an old
steamer. came ashore this morning.
One sailor jumped overheard and was
drowned, but the other members Of the
crew, thirty-three in number. We're
brought ashore by the life-saving crew.
The vessel was loaded with empty oil
barrels.

Illness OF Hing Alfonso.

lby teleBrapn 10 tue DBphtcn.t
WASHINGTON, November Palate
this afternoon the Spanish Minister re-
ceived cablegram. sent by the Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs at Madrid, stating
that King Alfonso was last night strick-
en- with a violent disorder of the respi
ratory organs, and was alarmingly i'll.
The cablegram was sent from Madrid
this morning.
THE KING REPORTED DEAD.
lBy cable to the Dispatch.l
LONDON, November 24.-lt is re-
ported here this evening that the King
of Spain is dead. Nothing whatever
can be learned from Madrid to confirm
or deny the report, but the fact that
stocks declined seven points in that city
to-day is taken in some quarters to in
dictate that something Of an alarming
character, at least, has happened to his
Majesty. 1t is known that portion of
the Ne,rs's dispatch relative to the
King, filed in Madrid to-day, was
erased by the censor there, and some
persons are of opinion that this fact,
too, indicates that the reports concern
ing the King are true.
Later.-The report of the death of
King Alfonso created a great sensation
here. Later adyices from Madrid, how
ever, show that the King is not dead,
but that he is seriously i'll. Eight ply
sicians are in attendance upon his Ma
jesty at FL Pardo.

Resolred, That the work Of improving
the hArbors Of sandy coasts is admit
tedly one Of the most difficult problems
in hydraulic engineering; that it is Of
vital importance to the successful and
