To Europe via HuiIsen's Bay.

1t seems to be a very wild project,
but the funds have really been sub
scribed to build a railroad to Hudson's
Bay, so that w eat can be carried by
vessels, which, for at least a month in
the year, may avoid becoming ice bound
far north in the Arctic Circle. The fact
is, the region northwest of st. Paul, and
traversed by the Manitoba, Northern
Pacific and Canadian Pacific roads, is
destined to be one of the great wheat
and potato fields of the world. With
its resources, it could feed the popula-
ton Of the whole earth. Yet to look at
it on the map. it seems to be dangerous
ly near the regions of perpetual ice. Its
distance from the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans is so great, that water way of
any Kind is very tempting, and hence
capitalists can be found who will build
a road to give this wheat q new water
outlet to Europe. Monthly.

The Storm at JohnsOn's Bayou.

ORANGE, Tex, Oct. 15.-Details of
the destruction by the storm at Sabine
Pass and Johnson's Bayou come in
slowly, and are yet indefinite, though
all agree that there has been great loss
of life and property. Two brothers
named Pomeroy were picked up by the
schooner Andrew Baden in Lake Sa-
binc. They had been in the water
thirty-six hours clinging to their cap
sized yawl. Their mother and sister
and Mrs. Capt. Junker, her son and lit
tie, of the party, were lost. The Pom
eroys report that fifty. lives were lost
at the Porter House, where the people
had collected as the best place of safety.
1t went to pieces at 8 o'clock. Quite a
number of persons arc missing and
still greater loss is reported from
Iohnson's Bayou. Whole families
were swept away. Not a house was
left standing within five miles of the
bayou. Relief parties have been or
ganized and sent on the steamers
Lamar and Emily with provisions and
bedding.

knights Of Labor.

RICHMOND, Oct. 15.-There is much
discussion in this city over the confer
ence of General Master Workman
Powderly with the colored delegates
in reference to a thorough and COM
pletc organization of the colorcd peo-
pie into lodges throughout the south
crn States. 1t is alleged that the pur-
pose of this organization is to ''better
the condition OF the race" by gather
ing and disseminating statistics in re-
gard to the condition and progress of
the colored people; but many who
know how often the negro has been
duped by intriguers from the north
with political ends to subserve, predict
that the proposed organization will be
converted into a political ma
chine TO ALLEVIATE the colored pco-
pie from present business and
political affiliations. Then, again, the
effort to thrust social equality of the
races on the people of Richmond at
the present meeting, just as the ques-
ton had about settled itself in accord
ance with natural laws, after years OF
agitation and unrest, during which
there was much bad blood and great
deal of friction between the. races, il
fresh in the minds of the people, and
unless the General Assembly gives the
most ample assurance Of perfect good
faith in this matter, there will be {
greater loss among the white knights
In the South than there will be gair
among the colored people.

mont at 10 o'clock Wednesday night
with a relief committee of forty men,

Twenty-Five men of the party were
left behind to fish for dead bodies,
many of which are reported to have
washed many miles over into Louisi-
ana. One hundred and one persons
are missing, ninety of whom are
known to have been drowned. Thirty
five of these are white and fifty col
ored.
DR.. Calhoun reports many people
without clothes, and relief boat will
return this evening with clothing for
them.
The lighthouse is over half mile
from the gulf. The windows are for
ty-five feet from the ground. Capt.
Plummer and his family were in this
structure. The waves from the gulf,
half mile distant, broke against this
building in solid walls fifty feet high,
and nearly tore out the window glass.
Corpses were picked up thirty miles
from the scene Of this wreck.
A. Il. McDonough. one of the Hous-

til o'clock, when the whole face Of
the earth had
DISAPPEARED BENEATH THE WAVES
and houses began to yield to the force
of the stormy waves. The people,
who had up to this time confidently
expected subsidcnce of the storm and
relief from the danger threatening
them, lost all hope and began to pre-
pare for the worst. Men with their
children in their arms were seen wad-
ing from the weaker to the stronger
houses, while others sought refuge on
the house tops. The cries of perishing
women and children were heard on
every hand, and the fearful scene wit
messed as house after house toppled
over, emptying its freight of human
souls into the great deep, beggars all
description. In many instances entire
families have been lost, and until quiet
succeeds the confusion now reigning,
full particulars cannot be obtained
The water that submerged the town is
thought to have come from Lake
Sabine, north and northwest of the
town. There was strong tidal wave
from the gulf on the east side of the
town, and the two waters from the
gulf and Lake Sabine meeting on the
island submerged it,
AT Beaumont a relief party has
been organized, and an engine of the
East Texas road placed at their dis
posal to visit the scene of the disaster
and render such aid as they can.

Washington, Feb. 16-Mr. Cullen to.
day reported substitute for the bill tc
regulate commerce, recently submitted
by the committee on inter state com.
merce, and guye notice that he would
soon ask the senate to set day for its
consideration. The important sections
of the bill have been revised and some
what modified by the committee. AS
the bill now stands, its provisions ap
ply to the transportation of passengers
and freight by railroad, or partly by
railroad and partly by water, when both
are used for continuous carriage be-
tween states, and between the United
States and foreign countries. The sec.
tons prohibiting unjust discrimination
and giving of undue preferences
are not materially changed. The char
g1og OF more for shorter than for a
longer distance is prohibited, with the pro-
Vlso that the commission may make ex-
ceptlons to the requirement when found
necessary IN special cases, where there
is water competition. Ali rates must be
published 30 far as the commission may
ind 1t practicable to do 30, and in such
manner as may be prescribed. Advances
In published rates are prohibited, ex-
cept after ten days public notice, but
reductions may be made without public
notice. The courts are given authority
to compel compliance with the require
ments in regard to the publicity of rates
by mandamus, and may, if necessary, re-
strain railroads from csrryIug on busi.
ness until they comply. For violations
of the act the officers and agents of cor
poratiop, are made subject to
$1,000 fine for each offense, and
corporations are made liable to all per-
SOUS injured for all damages occasioned
by such violation. Complaints may be
made to the commission by any person,
firm corporation or association, any
mercantile, agricultural or manufactur
ing society, any body polite, or NUM-
clpal organization, or by any state rail-
road commissioners, and shall be in
veetiRated unless tie matters COM
planned of are promptly adjusted at the
request of the commission. The facts
ascertained by the commission in snch
investigations are made prima facie
evidence in all judicial proceedings, and
ample provision is made for enforcing
the recommendation of the commission
through the courts when necessary.
