ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
The storm I'm New York,


New YORK, Feb. 27-10 A. M.-So far as
| comforti is concerned, il is far worse than
| yesterday. The thermometer has fallen to
seven degrees below zero. and the wind is
still blowing q gale. at from 81 to Sc miles
IN hour. But one sailing vessel has ar
| rived here since night before last, and that
required the assistance Of two tugs. The bay
ia deserted. No steamers have arrived, al
| though q number are reported off the
| coast, unable TO make New York harbor
against the terrific gale. which is blowing.
Telegraphic connections with the sur
rounding country are in even a worse con-
| dition than yesterday. No wires are work
ing to Boston and the east, and it ia with
great difficulty that anything can be re-
ceived from the South. There 10 abso-
lutely no communication with points IN
| the interior of this State. A number OF
| houses have been unroofed in this CITY and
| Brooklyn, but about the only people in
| iured have been unlucky pedestrians who
| were blown against buildings. The chas-
| ing oil hats has become less, as when they
leave the heads they go sailing over the
| tops of houses into the suburbs. Hatless
| men scudding along before the gale is not
uncommon.
LATER-The terrific gale has rendered
! the streets deserted tonight. The street.
car lines carry all persons obliged to be
out, it being almost impossible for other
than vigorous people to breast the gale at
all. On the river ferry boats are running,
but much delay is occasioned by boats be-
ing drifted past their slips. Trains are re.
ported late, owing to the hard winds. No
abatement in the tierceness of the gale was
noticeable at midnight. Reports were be-
ing received from many Quarters of the
city Of more or less Serious damage to
buildings, including The topping over Of
chimneys and lum Der, of women, who were
injured by being blown down in the streets
or against cDstructions, and OF one or w
persons who were hurt by flying missiles.
Conversational Proceedings.

| that the continued coinage of silver would

country.
Lanham OF Texas spoke in support Of the
bill previously introduced by him to dis
approve the Act Of the Legislature in New
Mexico, to prevent the introduction OF dis
eased cattle into the Territory, arguing
that il was unconstitutional in that 1t in.
terfered with State commerce..
Weaver of Nebraska discussed the silver
question, and predicted the effort Of the
money oligarchy, assisted by the Execu-
tive officers of the nation to double the
peoples burdens and cripple the business
of the country by the suspension of silver
coinage. would prove unsuccessful, now
that the attention OF the people was at
tracted TO the question. He favored I'M.
limited coinage. and asserted that if the
whole yield of the mines was coined an
nually it would be twenty years before the
per capita circulation of the United States
would be equal to that OF France. and this
calculation, he said, had been made with
out taking into account any increase in the
population of the country.
II is reported that the Judiciary Com.
mittee of the Senate has voted to report
adversely upon the nomination Of Zach
sriah Montgomery, Of California, as AS
sistant District Attorney General for the
Interior Department. The grounds of the
objection are said to be the sentiments en-
tertained by the nominee with respect to
the public school system, which senti-
ments were publicly expressed in a PAM
phlet issued by him several years ago.
