A CYCLONE at Charleston.

"A cyclone at Charleston.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Aug. 25. Charles
ton was struck by a cyclone this morning
and one-fourth of the houses in the city
are unroofed. Parts of the spires of St.
Michael's and St Matthews churches
were blown down, and the spire of Citadel
square Baptist church is demolished.
Wharves and warehouses are also badly
damaged. At S%ullivan's Island two
steamers are aground, and the new Ash
ley river bridge now Constructing is swept
away. Four vessels which arrived yes
terday are wrecked, telegraph wires are
down and there are no cans running. The
loss is estimated at $l00, 900. The work
of restoration has already begun.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Aug. 25.-The
city is becoming tranquil. The loss is still
estimated at one million dollars, including
wharves and churches. Merchants are
alre ady rebuilding. The phosphate works
near the city are but little injured, ex-
cept the Atlantic, which loses its acid
chamber. The Norwegian bark Medbor,
from Liverpool, was dismasted in the
storm. the German bark II. Peters. was
driven ashore, the German brig Freiheit
was sunk in a collision, the dry dock
schooner VIM. +. Lee was blown ashore,
and the Norwegian bark Neritas and
Italian brig San Frisco, are ashore at
Castle Pinkney with a three masted
schooner, name unknown. No lives were
lost.
SuLLrvAN's ISLAND, Aug. 25.-The
hurricane last night and this morning was
terrific and destructive. A number of
houses on Sulllvan's Island were blown
away. The new Brighton hotel had over
100 guests. and great fears were enter
tanned for their safety. About 9 o'clock
this morning the storm reached its great
est velocity. At that hour, while the hotel
people were at breakfast. the Casino fell
with a great crash. Fortunately all the
rooms in that building had been vacated.
There were grave app%rehensions that the
dining room and main building would
soon succumb to the violence of the
storm. AT Q o'clock the wind changed
from the southwest. When the Casino
fell it was thought that the maximum of
the storm was from sixty-fve to reventy
miles an hour. The main bull ling of the
hotel is intact, having withstood the storm

Parnen Speaks.

DUBLIN, Aug. 25.-The Parnellite man
ayers held a secret meeting here to-day to
select candidates for the coming campaign
and to discuss the future policy Of the
Home Rule party. Mr.. Parnell himself
presided over the meeting and it was re-
solved to advise all Home Rule constitu-
encies to select no candidates without first
consulting with Parnell and to vote for
none who would not give pledges to act
with the party as a unit in parliament.
1t was also resolved that candidates
should each sign a pledge to vote and act
with the Parnellites, and to resign if the
majority of their colleagues so ordered.
Addressing the public meeting Parnell
said that the triumph of the Irish cause
was assured, whether the Wings or Tories
won the elections. The Tories would
give as good a scheme of elfgovernment
as the Wings. Let Irish farmers, he
said, support the league and prove that
they will not allow landlords To trample
upon them during the ensuing winter
MIR. Parnell said that it had been the
leagues policy to support the evicted ten
ants to the utmost, where it was shown
they were determined to suffer for princi-
pie, and thereby encourage the t%enantry
generally. He was glad to say that the
policy had succeeded. Many cyieted
families had been restored to their hold
ings, their arrears cancelled and a reduc-
ton Of - to 20 per cent in rents obtained.
The indirect results were even greater.
Landlords feared 10 eyiat uuiustly, and
thousands OF families thereby escaped
eviction 1t was the duty Of tenants to
subscribe freely for the support of those
cyicted. 'If we list judgment and
moderation, he continued. we
shall see two English parties
competing To settle the Irish qucs-
ton There is something solemn and
dazzling in the thought that we belong to
a generation about to witness the finish Of
a struggle lasting 700 years, opposed by
such tremendous obstacles and odds. Only
the Irish can defeat themselves. The
English parliament cannot defeat us. We
have met and beaten the worst that Eng
land can do.

PROHIBITION TRIUMPHANT.
Business in Iowa Demands the En-
largement Of the largest
Distillers in the
World.
From the Dcs Moincs Register, july 8.


The International Distillery CON-
pleted distilation July /, and i'm
mediately shut down for repairs.
The fire SO crippled them that the
cattle were all shipped out immedi-
ately and all that has been done was
to work up the goods then in pro-
cess Of manufacture. The work
they now have in contemplation will
not be confined to repairs simply,
but large additions will be made to
the working capacity OF the dis
tillery. They will put in new worm
tubs, beer still and Jarvis column,
and the whole establishment will
be given thorough overhauling.
The separating room which was the
scene Of the late fire. will be rebuilt
OF brick with all the latest improve
nents, thus doing away with almost
the last chance for a destructive fire.
In addition to this they will build
nine corn pens, each 200 fee: in
length, to be situated just west Of
the warehouse along the railroad
tracks. The foundations to these
are already commenced. aud their
erection will be made as soon as
possible. The cattle sheds are be-
ing refiorcd and otherwise repaired
ready for the fall campaign. It is
hoped that they may be ready for
work again by September l, though
the work to be done is OF such mag
nitude that it may keep them longer
It is the intention of those in charge
to have the International distillery,
when completed, not only the larg-
est, but the best appointed establish
ment Of its kind in the world, and
they are just the men te carry out
such an intention.
