New YORK, Sept. 1O.-A terrible
storm at sea is raging during the last
few days and great damage has been
done to property by the storm all
along the coast. Atlantic City was COM
pletely cut off from the main land,
the lower end of Blackwell's Island is
submerged and the patients were re-
moved from the outbuIldIngs in that
part of the island. 1t is the general
impression among the sea faring peo-
pie that the storm exceeds any we
have in Is years.

NEW YORK. Sep. 1.-THE wind has
subsidized somewhat, but the skies are
still black and light rain is falling.
The only transatlantic steamer which
had arrived up TO ii o'clock this morn
ing was the California. The City of
New York and the Teutonic were both
due yesterday, but have not been sight

river is not so high as it was at flood
tide yesterday, but many cellars and
easements are still flooded and bust.
ness at the docks and along the water
front is still carried on under the
greatest difficulties.
The HobOken yesterday was obliged
to lay to this side of Quarantine over
night. The vessel passed out to sea
at 6 O'Clock this morning and the regu-
lar weekly feet of transatlantic
steamers followed soon after.
Privste advices from the quarters
of the health officers down the bay
show that the storm at Quarantine
continues with great fury. The wind
is blowing heavy gale from the east
and northeast and the seas wash oyer
the surrounding walls. The vessels at
anchor along tbs South street piers,
have the appearance of having passed
through veritable cyclone. The rig
ging of many of the craft was torn up
in shredS, and sparS and maStS were
dismantled, while the waves beat with
great fury against the vessels sides,
even as they lay at the piers. The tel
egraph wires between here and San
dy Hook are still down. There is con-
sequently the greatest uneasineSS
| felt by the members of the MARITIME
Exchange for the safety of the vessels
in the offing. In q roundabout way
it was learned that only two Yessls had
come up to the quarantine since last
night. They were the new Morgan
line steamers, Elmar, from New Or
leans and the Hamburg steamship
California; The Eimar was detained
twelve hours outside the bar by the
rough weather. The vessel encountered
/ the hurricane of the night

The Ifeef Comhine scorea.


The Topeka Capital in doubled
leaced emphasis scored the beef com
bine, yesterday in the following terms.
1t says:
Take. for instance, the dressed beef
combine and its influence upon the peo-
pie of this state. We can produce the
cheapest and best beef cattle in the
world in Kansas. Our native and
tame grasses growing with great lux
uriance, our cheap corn, which is the
basis of good beef, and our short, mild
winters, combine to make Kansas a
pre- eminentlY profitable state for
growing beef cattle. What is true of
cattle may also be claimed for our state
in producing, proftably, hogs, sheep
and horses. Give to the farmers and
stock growers of this state fair profit
upon their live stock and Kansas
would soon become the richest state in
the union.
The dressed beef combine purchases
for the Kansas City and Chicago mar
kets about so per cent of the beef cattle
grown ia Kansas. The power of this
great combination enables it To place its
own price on the cattle offered for sale,
regardless of competition, or supply
and demand. or the price of dressed
beef in the retail markets. For more
than two years the stock growers of
Kansas have produced beef for this
combine at positive loss. The corn
fed beef of Kansas that has been sold
| in Kansas City and Chicago at from
50. so to 400 per hundred pounds, has
not Melted the stock growers of Kansas
81 per day for their labor, or II cents a
bushel for their corn. DO the consum-
| ers receive the benefit of this great loss
/ to the farmers of Kansas? Not at all.
The retail price of beef remains sub
| stantially the same in Mis-
souri, and Illinois, and all
over the country. in the
branch houses of these legal robbers.
| The stock growers are not organized.
while the beef combine is not only per-
feGtly organized. but has unlimited
money with which to control the cattle
producing interests of the western
states. They go To the legislatures as
they did last year in this states, with
their lobby of hired attorneys, and by
bribery and combinations and trades
defeat all legislation that interferes
with their monstrouS profits
The republican party of Kansas can
do no better work for the people than
to put check upon these legal robbers,
and protect the interest upon which
seventy-fiVe thousand farmers depend
for profit. Every republican county
convention in Kansas should speak
with no uncertain sound upon this
ISubiect.
