hurricane i'm the British Isles.

LONDON, November ia heavy gale set
in on the south of England and Irish coasts.
The wind blew with hurricane force.
The steamer Majestic was forced to pro-
coed to Liverpool, being unable to land at
Queenstown on account of the hurricane.
The iron ship Benvenue, of over 2,OOO tons,
bound for Sidney, n. S. W., was caught in
the storm and driven ashore near SandRate.
Her crew was compelled to take to the rig
glng to escape being washed overheard BY
the seas, which swept over the vessel. A lie
boat was manned and started for the wreck,
but was unable to reach it.
The life savers rugged rocket arran gemens
and Immediately began to shoot a line to the
wreck, by means of which breaches buoy
might be sent out to the stranded vessel.
These operations we're watched by an I'M
mense crowd of people on the beach. When
the first rocket fell short of the wreck there
was a general expression of dismay. Again
and again the attempt to shoot line was
made, but each time the attempt failed.
Another vessel is ashore close to where the
Benvenue lies.
Several victims of the storm have been cast
upon the beach at SandRate.
The storm has extended northward, and
RACES with great fury from Wick, on the east
coast of Scotland, to Sicily islands, in the
English channel.
In London the storm did considerable dam
age. In many places, where buildings were
in course of erection, the boarding in front
of them was blown out into the streets and
temporarily stopped the passage of pedes-
TRANS and vehicles.
The storm caused considerable damage
throughout the southern counties of England
and Iceland.
Ram has fallen in large quantities and tel
egraphic communication has been inter-
rupted to great extent by the breaking of
wires and falling of polls.
Dispatches now being received give long
list ofcasuaities at various points along the
coast.
The damage to fishing boats and other
small craft employed In the coasting trade is
large.
Farmers In the middle counties are grow
ing discouraged at misfortunes that are pur-
sulng them. In these counties the previous
gales and floods did an immense amount of
damage. In some sections the water that
had flowed upon large tracts of low lying
lands during the previous flood was just sub
siding, and the farmers had begun to look
forward with satisfaction to blowing and
preparing the land for autumn sowing. Now
the waters have again submerged the land
and the farmers are respondent.
several instances are reported of the loss
oy drowning OF parts of life saving crews.
Several OF the sailors clingin to tn, wreck
OF the Benvenue were seen to drop fIom the
rigging and drown. After repeated attempts

made final attempt, and after being buffeted
around and nearly drowned, they finally suc-

WASHINGTON. d. c., November n.-Therc
is very strong opinion in government circles
that good many army officers are talking
altogether too much regarding the present
embroglio with Chill.
1t Is only a week or SO since Secretary
Tracy found it necessary to issue a private
order instructing good man. high officials
of the navy to Keep their views and opinions
to themselves, on the ground that the posi-
ton they occupy toward the government
made it distinctly undesirable that they
should express ideas regarding strained rela-
tons between the United States and any
o.her country. Now attention is being d.
rected to the utterances of certain army Off
GERS, which are regarded, to say the least, as
decidedly indisereet-
One of these who is chief of an important
department of the army and is general too
boot. said IN an interview the other day, that
any foreign war ship could sail up to New
York or Boston and lombard those cities,
and that there would be practically nothing
to prevent them, and that even torpedo boats
would prove inadequate to oppose any such
a demonstration on the part of a foreign
power.
These statements appeared in the London
papers the day after they were made. and
may be expected TO take the rounds of the
world. The declaration may be true, but at
any rate there is decided opinion in diplo.
matte circles that army officers have no right
to make such assertions.

washington, d. c., November A.-The
national council of administration of the
Grana Army of the Republic is in session
here. Fixing the date of the encampment is
one of the first things to be done. The west
wants the meeting to take place about the
middle of September. certainly not later
than the last week in that month, while Gen.

that it is largely through his effort that for
eign markets are opened for the reception of

fertile and prolific country, thus creating a
largely increased demand and consequent
increased market values; therefore be it

A serious Accident.

Rev. R. E. Edwards. pastor of the
Methodist church at Coal Valley and
Gable. met with serious accident yes
terday about noon. He was returning
to Gable from Coal Valley where he had
conducted services Sunday, and was
driving, accompanied by his daughter,
Miss Emma, and MISS Lundell. Not far
from Cable the horse became frightened
and unmanageable. and Mr.. Edwards was
thrown from the cart and rendered I'm.
conscious, while the ladies managed to
cling to the rig until nearer their homes
when they, too. were thrown out. After
examination showed that Mr.. Edwards
had sustained serious injuries. and a mes
sage from Coal Valley today brought the
intelligence that he had not yet recovered
consciousness, while Miss Lun1ell, it was
feared, was seriously affected internally.
Miss Edwards injuries were not SO Sc.

I have spoken once or twice about the
dangerous qualities of those fiat yachting
caps, at present so popular, which render
many really estimsble men and women
objects of pity. almost of contempt. But
there is now new variety on the street.
composed of a sort of rough, light col
ored Tam O'Shanter material, which is
worse even than the smooth cloth blue
or black cap. The other morn
ing met man thus decorated driving
up School street, and for the life of me I
could not say at'this moment whether it
was certain specially digni6ed Harvard
professor whom I have the honor of
knowing or an illiterate. rough-tongued
horse jockey. In an ordinary hat the
professor is a refined. delicate-featured
man, but in this cap (if it were he) all his
finer qualities are extinguished. Now,
what thing is man. that the mere cover-
ing on his head should SO transform him.

Burns' Muscle is all Right.

Martin Burns. the wrestler, succeeded
in defeating heavy weight Davenporter
in stick pulling contest for $25 side
yesterday afternoon. The contest took
place in a yard in the rear of the St.
James hotel in Davenport. A strong
two-inch plank foot wide was stood
edgewise and strongly braced in position,
and the two pullers took position on each
side OF this, seated and with feet braced
against the plank. A hardwood stick a
couple of feet long aud an inch in dlsme>
ter had been secured, and according to
the conditions Burns had his favorite
lock-hold in the center of the stick while
bis opponent gripped the stick with one
hand on each side of Burns two fists
When all wss ready and each bad g

The New ramp purcaase.


The matter of most concern to the CITY
coming before last evenings council
meeting was the opening of bids for a
new pumping apparatus for the Rock
Island waterworks to have a capacity of
o,OCO,0OO gallons per day. The bids,
which appear in the official record show
a difference of nearly $50. 900 in what the
city may get pump for, while all the
way from $500. and cent per pound, te
W. 600 is offered for the old Holly pump.
The propositions were referred to
the finance and waterworks committees,
the mayor and superintendent of water
works to consider and report recon,
mendations. In making this important
purchase the city, in the belief of THE
ARGUS. has but to adhere to the policy
that the best is the cheapest. ALI. Hue
sings idea. as expressed by him at the
meeting last night. that the city should
determine which pump is the best and
then purchase it. seems to fit the situa-
ton exactly. The city wants good goods,
and nothing is too good for the city.
Cost is an important consideration, OF
course, and because one make is offered
cheaper than another, it does not neces-
sarily follow, on the other hand, that it is
inferior. But the city wants the
