speak in Milan next Monday, when
we hope he will have large crowd to

eminent gentleman sent to Milan dur
ing the canvass by our state commit
tee, and he is also one of the finest
speakers now canvassing the state.
Last weeks McMinnville Standard
gives the following notice Of him.
Hon. Thos. L. Williams, of Knox.
vile, spoke here Wednesday to
crowd of about two hundred. He
made one of the best speeches we
have had during the campaign, and
we wish every voter in the county
could have heard him. He is pleas.
ant and interesting speaker, clear and
logical in his arguments. All who
heard him, spoke in fattering terms
of his speech. He ventilated the long
dark record of the republican party,
and made an aole defense of democra-
cy, showing how the party has kept
faith with the people and redeemed
all the promises made in their plat
form. He gave hut little time to the
Blair bill, RELOCATING it to its proper
position rs dead issue, a thing with
no existence His presentation of the
tariff question was so plain and sim
pie that n child could understand it.
He very forcibly rebdtted the charge
that the democratic party is a free
trade party, showing that the practice
and principles of the party afford
ample protection to The American
manufacturer against the pauper la,
norof Europe, while at the same time
struggling for such a reduction of the
tariff as will afford relief to the great
mass of consumers. lie received
many gratifying congratulations or
his speech, and much favorable com
ment from all who heard him.

A NOVEL SIEGE.
A Brother of Mckee Rankin Refuses to Per

DETROIT Mich, Oct 16--George Rankin, q
brother of Mckee Rankin, the actor, living at
Sandwich, Ontario across from Detroit had a
quarrel with Thomas Mckee Rankin, an uncle,
last Tuesday, and the two came to blows.
George knocked Thomas down and then retreat
ing to his homo. secured an ak. and successfully
kept Thomas at bay until he could barricade the
doors and windows. Thomas then swore out a
warrant against George, charging him with as
sault, and four policemen were detailed to bring
him to Windsor for trial. George refused to leave
the house and kept the officers off as he had
Thomas. He has stock of provisions, and
since Tuesday he has not left the house. and as
Canadians 'house is his CASTLE" the officers
have not ventured to break in. reporter,
waving flag of truce, succeeded in getting
near enough'to interview George last night He
declared that he would come out and pay fine
for simple assault when the officers should be
withdrawn, but not before. For the last three
days hundreds of inquisitive people have visited
the place to see four officers marching at regular
intervals. around house from which no sign of
life is manifested. The novel siege bids fair to
end in the starvation of Rankin or the exhaus
ton of the policemen.

ence. What was q prosperous village when last
Tuesday dawned IS now the center OF wreck and
desolation. There are 1877 persons missing and
supposed to DO dead. Only about twenty five
bodies have so far been recovered. There is not
one sound house in the town of Sabine. The
residences Of DR.. Gilliand and editor
McClanahan are the only ones that
can be repaired Every other house is
an absolute wreck. This, in brief, is the story
of the storm. Innumerable touching, heart
rending incidents of the storm related by the
survivors. One house, containing fourteen col
ored persons, was seen to go down with crash
and every one of them was lost. Incidents are
related of husbands flashing wives and children
to floating wrecks, and then seeing them killed
by heavy logs being driven against them. The
damage to property can only be estimated by
the value of the town, for all is lost The Sabine
81 East Texas railroad track is washed out for a
distance of ten miles. The ties have aoated off
and the rails are twisted like wires the effect of
the great hurricane. Millions of dead fish were
cast up by the waves, and thousands Of birds
also strew the ground
young woman in a perfectly nude state was
round roaming around on the prairie yesterday
five miles from Sabine. She was demented and
could not tell her name.
When the government tugboat Penrose
reached Sabine, yesterday, Columbus Martee
was found rowing around the delta. looking for
the bodies of his family. He said: Myself

the roof supporting her broke off, and
she sunk before my eyes held on

some time longer. The child addressing me,
said: Papa Pm tired; won't you walk with

gave me squeeze, and just then wave dashed
US off and | saw her no more. Great God! why
didn't l go down too?' He was pressed to go on
board the Penrose, but refused, saying: Here
among the lagoons are the bodies of my wife
and children, and here will stop until can find
them"
No tongue can tell how the people have suf-
fered during the past few days. In many cases
the dead ones are considered the lucky ones.
Late reports from Johnsons Bayou bring the
terrible intelligence that eighty five persons are
now known to be lost in that settlement and it is
greatly feared that the list will be swelled to a
hundred more, thus making the total number
of victims by the hurricane fully two hundred.
Reliable information from Johnsons Bayou ar
rives very slowly, all the roads being impossible
and only two boats are running to that section.
The restitution Of the survivors, of whom there
are over thousand around Johnsons and
Radford villages Is described as something
awful They lost everything and are without
food, drink and clothes.

A British Troop-Ship in Danger-Loss of the
Teviotdale and Seventeen Lives.
LONDON, Oct 16.-The roop-ship Tyne, which
is thirty hours overdue at Plymouth, has been
sighted off there, laboring terribly in the storm.
The greatest anxiety had been entertained con-
corning her for the past twenty four hours.
The British ship Teviotdale which sailed from
Cardiff, Wales, on Thursday last, was wrecked
during the storm on Carmarthan bar. There
were on board at the time twenty eight persons.
A lifeboat rescued nine of them from the wreck.
The nineteen others, among whom were the
captain and officers left in boat, and but two
OF them succeeded in reaching the shore alive.
The other seventeen persisted.
The greathurricane which has just passed over
England and Ireland was accompanied by the
heaviest transforms within memory. During
last night there were many collisions and wrecks,
and number of channel fishing boats were
stranded. The beach at Brighton presents q
spectacle of destruction. A torpedo gunboat at
Portsmouth dragged its anchor and drfted into
the r:ud bat was afterwards rescued by tugs.
The glass roof of the llfracombe Hotel was
broken and the lighthouses were washed away.
The storm was very furious on the Irish coast.
The streets in many of the towns were flooded;
corn stacks were blown away and the corn stand
ing in the fields was destroyed The damage is
immense. There have been destructive floods in
Wales

THE BULGARIAN ELECTIONS.
A Russian Consul Questions Their Validity
and Is Referred to the Central Government.

Russian Consul Questions Their Validity,
and Is Referred to the Central Government.
LONDON Oct. 16.-The Russian consul at
Rustchuk, acting under the direction Of General
Kaulbars, sent to the project of the district a
protest against the declared result of the recent
elections there, on the ground of their alleged
illegality. The project replied that the agent
must address his protest to the central govern
ment.
The Journal de st. Petersburg, commenting
on the Bulgarian regencys reply to the Russian
agency, says: 'These arbitrary holders of power
have launched Bulgaria into revolution, and
shelter an illegal regime behind the constitution.
There must be no arguing with the Bulgarian
government but in the interest of quietness in
the East and of general peace Bulgarian desti-
mics must not be left to the mercy of these radi-
cal doctrinairesn
