WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept. 1O.-1n view
Of the interest excited by reports Of very
heavy surf ''tidal waves" &C., along the
coast OF New Jersey and Long Island
and at Newport, the following statement
has been prepared at the United States
photographic office. II will be seen
that the phenomonen Is by no means
inexplicable and merely Indicates the
passage OF severe cyCloniC storm along
the coast. A hurricane, or "revolving

The actual velocity OF the wind In a
hurricane is, no doubt, very often rs
great as 100 miles an hour. Now, the
motion OF the whole storm along itA
track may be only lb or 20 miles an
hour. II happens that the tremendous
waves that are started by these violent
winds easily outrun the storm and are
felt at great distances from II on every
side. In fact, when a long rolling swell
Is encountered at SEA, not evidently due
to the winds that prevail at the time, IL
is universally regarding as Indicating q
distant but severe storm. Moroeer, the
inrushing and wliirling winds, together

surface Of tho sea, so that ils level at
