Dillon and O'COnmOr Cable to Their
 Frieuds to Save the Cause.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Messrs Dillon aud O'Connor, after seeing Mr. Sulliv an off to Europe, met at the Hoffman House and had conference. At it's close the following cablegram was sent to Justin Mccarthy, M. F.:
 "Aave learned with the deepest pain of the injury to MT. Parnell. Language and acts of violence on both sides will ruin Irish cause in the eyes of Americans and fill the Irish people here with de- spair. Save the cause Use influence with our friends and abstain from all personal insults and violence, no matter how great the provocation, and appeal to MT. Parnell's supporters to abstain from attacking meetings.'
 MT. O'Connor thought that the Irish cause had gone backward wonderfully within the past few weeks, and said that If Mir. Parnelr kept on in his present stand, even if the election was lost at Kilkenny, the cause would be irretriev- ably ruined.

HAVOC OF A wrlRLWfi4D.
Considerable Damage Around New For
 and Along the Coast.

| Considerable Damage Around New YOrl
 and Along the Coast. NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-New Workers had a taste of storm weather during thl past 24 hours that made life a burden tt pedestrians, and almost paralyzed trave by land and water. The wind seemed to blow from all directions at the same time, and the rain came down in suel | gusts that umbrellas were absolutely l useless, even when the gale did moi wreck them, whirling the remnants through the air. At the various summer resorts along the coast in the vicinity of New York much damage was done. -
 At Rockaway and Far Rockaway all telegraph and telephone wires wexe blown down. Vast waves swept up over the beach half 8 mile. flooding the ho- tels and pavilions. I Several small structures were carried away at Coney Island, and further damage is feared.
 All traffic on the Hudson River at New burg was suspended, owing to the rough ness of the weather. Snow fell there to depth of six inches.
 The Hudson River was a rolling sea, and waves washed over the stone em- bankment and at some places submerged the New York Central Railroad tracks.
 A number of small boathouses between Yonkers and Peekskiu were inundated. The work on the extension of the New York Central tracks was suspended dur ing the day and 200 men who were at work upon the track quit work.
 The tracks along the New York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad in West chester County were covered in some places by over two feet of water.
 Dispatches show that all along the New Jersey coast great damage was done by the high winds and tide.
 The surf undermined a portion of the New Jersey Central Railroad track below Sandy Hook, and for several hours all communication was cut off.
 At Long Branch the surf cut deep gaps into the bluff opposite the Rowland Hotel and opposite the cottage owned by Mrs. Nicholas De Peyster.
 At Deal Beach the surf was very high. and the tide caused the water to flood the beach north of the life saving station. The water surrounded the building and washed away a portion of the government bulkhead.
 The highest tide of the season pre- vailed at Atlantic City. All of the meadow lands beeween the town and the mainland were flooded, and Baltic avenue was submerged at many points.
 1n9 suLt Wdsneu away most or the board walk at Asbury Park, and tore away most of the fishing pier. Mr Bradley's pavilion was badly damaged.
 It will take thousands of dollars to repair the damage done to the shipping and bulkheads by the storm in the Shrewsbury River.
 At Elizabeth, N. J., three. story frame building was blown down by the gale, and streets in some sections were flooded, but little damage was done by the water.
 The tide was very high and did con- siderable damage at Pleasantville, N. J.

WASHINGTON TOPICS
Republican Senators Adopt a Y Financial Scheme.
THE BOND CLAUSE ELIMINATED.
Senator Sherman Struggles Hard for Its 7 Adoption.

A Rill to be Reported Providing for Es.
 tabiishing the Previous Question-NO Recess During the Christmas Aolf. day-Important Letter from the In-
 ternal Revenue Commissioner.
 WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-The Repub- llcan Senators were in caucus three hours last night, considering the finan- clal question and the question of passing the Federal Elections bill.
 The result of the caucus is the adop- tion of the financial scheme reported from the caucus committee Monday night in substance, with the clause providing for the issue of two per cent. bonds eliminated. This proposition will be brought before the Senate before the vote is taken on the Federal Elections bill, and afterward rule will be re- ported to provide for establishing the previous question, the object of this rule being the passage of the Elections bill. It was also determined, practically, that there will be no holidays at Christi mas time.
 E The bond proposition of Senator Sher- man was not given up without a strug- gle by the Senator from Ohio. He had the caucus committee in session all af- ternoon, trying to agree to some com- promise that might be accepted by the caucus. in place of his original propo- sition, and he urged upon the caucus the necessity of adopting either his prono- sitfon or that of Secretary Windom for the issue of interconvertible bonds. Neither of these propositions was accept able to the caucus, however, and the bond clause was stricken from the meas ure.
 Another important change in it re- lated to the amount of bonds deposited to be required of national banks. The proposition of the caucus committee was to reduce the amount to $1,000 for all banks. The caucus agreed to reduce the amount $1,O0O for all banks of $50, 1000, but to leave the law unchanged affecting other banks.
