THE STORM AT NORFOLK.
The Tide and Gale Do Considerable
Damage In the Harbor.

NoRFoLK, Va, Sept. 11.-Since early last
April there has been no tide compared to that
Of yesterday, which, under the influence Of the
northwesterly gale, backed the water up into
this city. The rise was slow enough to permit
people to remove their goods to places Of
safety. The employees Of the peanut factories
had to be ferried to and fro on Water street
this morning. The signal wires are prostrated
between Capes Henry and Hatteras. The tide
is still enormously high and many streets are
impossible. The wind is blowing gale and
no bay steamers were able to leave last night
In Portsmouth the storm is doing consider
able damage along the water front Trees are
blown down and obstructing the highways The
baltimore tug Kate Jones, on her way to Lynn
Haven, came in for harbor, and reports the
heaviest seas ever experienced in the bay and
that number Of vessels are at anchor of New
port and York River spit All pilot boats have
come into the roads for safety. The schooner
Garrett p. Wright arrived here yesterday from
New York and reported when off Watcha-
preague Sunday passed an unknown schooner,
beam ends and only one mast standing. On ac-
count of the storm the Wright could not get
near to her. Owing to the storm no Washing
ton steamers went out last night
DAMAGED BY COLLISION.
Yesterday morning as the schooner Robert
]. Poulsony, which had taken on a quantity of
salt at Portsmouth for Nanticoke, was crossing
the river to complete her cargo, she was in col
llslon with the steamer City Of Chester owned
by the Atlantic and Danville railroad, and con-
siderably damaged. The captain noted pro-
test and q survey will be held.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE TO-DAY.
The Postmaster General and Secretaries
Tracy and Noble Call-The Tanner Case.

The President saw a number of personal
callers this morning. Shortly after / o'clock
Postmaster General Wanamaker called. There
were about 200 people gathered in the east
room at this time, waiting for the President to
come down to receive them. Many lost their
patience as the time went by and they were
forced to leave, but there were quite a crowd
waiting to have their hands shaken when the
President, accompanied by Marshal Ransdell
came down the eastern stairway, three-quarters
OF an hour behind the regular hour.
Soon after he had disposed Of these and dis
appeared, Secretary Tracy, who had been at
the White House earlier in the day, having
come from Brooklyn this morning, arrived and
went up stairs, where it is quite likely
he talked Tanner to the President. II will be
remembered that it was the popular under
standing at the time of the appointment of
Tanner as commissioner Of pensions that
Secretary Tracy was his main support and that
it has been his influence as much as any Other
that has kept him in position throughout the
storm.
Secretary Noble also called.
II has not yet been decided when the Presi
dent will go to Deer Park Mr.. Halford il inn

SHOT AT BY HIGHBINDERS.
A Chinaman Whose Life Was Saved by
Wearing an Assortment of Shirts.

San FRANcIsco, Sept 1.-THE highbinders
yesterday attempted the life of Nah Goey while
he was passing through Fish alley. Two shots
were fred at Nah, both Of which penetrated
his clothing, but barely reached his skin owing
to the thickness and number of shirts he wore.
The bullets only made mere abrasions of the
skin. Nah had gained the ennity Of the high
binders through causing the arrest Of cooley
Shere is in Oakland Jail awaiting trial, and the
highbinders, to which society he belonged,
warned Nah to leave town until Shere's trial
was over. This he refused to do, hence the
shooting. The police authorities are now dis
cussing the advisability of disarming ali Chi
nese found on the streets at night, as was done
four years ago.

made more than 6, 700 horse power or 800 less
than the contract requires. The delay prob
aPly comes from the necessity of testing the
power indicators in order to insure perfect
