DESTRUCTIVE ELEMENTS
Heavy Shows and High Winds in the
East

BosToN, April IA severe storm is rag
ing throughout New England. A still
northeast gale was blowing all night and
heavy rain fell on the coast, turning to
snow in the interior. There is sixteen
inches OF snow throughout Western New
England. All the trains are late. The
velocity Of the wind reached sixty miles
an hour. The harbOr tide Is the highest
for six months.
Considerable damage has been done to
shipping, and many vessels have dragged
their anchors and drifted on the flats. A
few schooners are dismasted and others
are badly damaged. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires are down in every direction.
Reports from Chatham indicate that
more damage was done inland than by
any gale In the memory of man. The
barometer Is lower than ever before and
the tide is running very high, the water
completely covering the beaches.
New YORK, April 3-The heavy storm
which swept over this section last night
did much damage, particularly to the east
of New York. The storm was accom-
pBnied I'm many places by heavy wet
snow, and this aided by high wind, de-
moralized telegraph wires TO great
extent.
A dispatch from Poughkecpsle says
a heavy snowstOrm ragged in the HUI %
son river valley all night. About foot
OF snow fell but only six inches laid on
the ground for any length Of time Tee-
graphic and electric light wires are
crossed and are down in every direction.
1t will take a week or ten days TO get
them In good working order again. The
weather is now clearer and the snow Is
rapidly disappearing.

RUDINTSREPLY TO BLAINE
The Secretary of State Submits
1t to the Members of the
Cabinet
The Purport of the Answer is
Not Given to the General
Public
Italy's Unwieldly War Vessels
Not AS Dangerous AS
They Appear

WASHINGTON, April 3-The Star SAYS:
Blaine's note to Marquis Imperiali of yes
terday was cabled to Rome. Marquis di
Rudini cabled last night directing I'm
periali to hand his reply to Blaine. This
was done this morning. Itwas in Italian
and had to be translated. When this was
done Blaine took all the documents and
proceeded to the White House, where the
cabinet had been in session an hour. The
tenor OF it has not yet been made public.
Attorney General Miller has received a
telegram from the United States district
attorney at New Orleans saying he is en-
gagged in an investigation Of the recent
killing OF the Italians, In accordance with
instructions from Washington, and will
forward his report as promptly as pos
sible.
PHILADELPHIA, April 3-ChaTles Cra-
mer, head Of the great shipbullding firm
says New York is not in danger from
Italian ironclads. They'll never come
over here" he said confidently. I'm the
first place, they can't carry coal enough
to make such voyage safe, and they
could find no place here to re-coal. Then
their great draught would make II i'm
possible for them to do much damage on
this side. They are not familiar with Oui
coast, and would be in constant danger
Of grounding the moment they came a
all near the coast. They carry very
heavy guns, but except for firing on {
city these guns are not effective for mucl
| over mile.
The new cruisers recently constructed
could be very effective, by circling abou
! the monsters, peDpering them with loni
range rined cannon, drawing them int
! shallow water. If a shot from one Of tn
| iron -clads struck one Of our cruisers, /
would OF course do considerable damage
| but except by chance, IL Is doubtful II "a
such a distance any gunner in the ltalial
navy could hit as small an object as
vessel going at the rate Of fifteen u
twenty knots an hour. Shallow wate
and the great draught Of the irOn-clad
make Il practically impossible to success
| fully lombard New York. The NesuYiu
is the only dynamite cruiser in the world
and II she should drop one OF her deadl
shells aboard an Italian iron clad, al
danger from the latter would be over.

PHILADELPHIA, April 3.-The circum-
stances leading to the arrest Of Simon
Stone, for over 1G years salesman for the
Philadelphia branch Of the silk firm Of
the Brainard & Armstrong company, Is
involved in considerable mystery. stone

ployes OF the company, He has always
borne an excellent reputation and up to

of +. o. Smith vice president Of the com
pany and manager Of the Philadelphia
branch. Smith charges that his firm has
lost $4,000 by Stones operations, which
extend over many years. Both the
accused and the accuser maintain absolute
silence about the motives OF the arrest
which will not be told even at the trial,

QUIET REIGNS SUPREME
No Further Outbreak in the
Turbulent Pennsylvania
Coke Regions
Ten Deaths Have Occurred and
Several Are in a Criti-
cal Condition
The Knights of Labor Threaten
to Cause a General
Uprising

MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, April 3-Quiet
reigns throughout the coke regions this
morning. No outbreak has occurred since
the fatal raid yesterday morning and
while the situation is still grave the pres
ence OF the militia has had reassurng
effect. Two regiments are on the ground.
The uncertainty and fear last night
proved an awful strain on both the strik-
ers and citizens No sleeping was done
in the entire region, but crowds paraded
the streets, gathered in knots on the cor
ners or disappeared in punches over the
dark hills, leaving doubt as to their des-
tination. The foreigners were quiet but
always remained together, and the mo-
mentary fear Of an outbreak which an
entire regiment could not quell, was only
disspated by the first streaks Of dawn.
SO far ten deaths have occurred. Sew
eral more persons are in a critical condi-
ton. The funerals will take place Satur-
day.
Peter Wise, master workman Of the
Knights Of Labor, says the miners Of the
entire coke regions will turn out and that
at about that time the people must take
care.
The inquest on the bodies Of the dead
was resumed this morning. Neither
sheriff nor coke company was represented,
while the labor leaders were present in
| full force. Albert HALEY sworc that the
only shooting he heard came from the
guards. George Kyler, watchman, testl-
! fed to hearing two or three pistol shots
! before the regular firing Of the guards.
! Witness was deputy and carried gun.
| He did not know whether the guards car
ried guns or not. This doubt created as
to whether the pistol shots were fired
first by the guards or the strikers was re-
ceiycd with cheers by the crowd.
| Most Of the testimony was favorable To
the strikers except that Of DR.. PlOtncr,
who testified that the company's gates
had been broken down. An adjournment
was then taken until this afternoon.
Fears are entertained for the safety OF
! Capt. Lauer, whose men did the shooting
Yesterday. The threats against HIM are
! loud, and he is going around with body
guard. Trouble is looked for in Fayette
county, and ii is probable regiment OF
militia will be sent there
! The following was received this morn
ing from Alexander Jordan, Italian con-
sui at Philadelphia:
1t is impossible for me TO come. De-
nounce the killing TO the proper authOrl-
ties.

IN NORTHERN SEAS
Seal Catch In a Fleet OF Forty-nine
Vessels


SAN Francisco, April Sd. Ross, Of
Ross & Hewitt, has arrived from an eX
tended trip along the north coast with the
latest news from the sealing feet. The
number Of vessels out up TO date Is forty
nine, including both English and Amerl-
can, and there are two or three yet TO sail.
Some Of the schOOners are having great
luck and others are meeting with no sue
cess at all.
Capt Meckler, owner and master Of the
Matte +. Dwyer, the schooner which was
seized last year, is evidently making up
for time lost on the seizure. On the 10Th
OF March the Dwyer at High Hook with
700 skins in the hold. On the same date
was spoken the Sea Lion, which had 237
skins; the lille |. Alger, with 1872; Mary
Ellen, Ga; Mary Taylor, 81; Ocean Belle,
40; Beatrice, 16; and w. p. Sayward,
clean.
The Indian hunters are rolling in
wealth and the probabilities OF schoOners
securing hunters among them are less
than ever. The Indians scOrn the 81. 80
offered by the schooner captains, and
even study over &C. They fixed the latter
sum as their price month ago. Morris
Moss, Victoria buyer has ruined their
usefulness by paying them Sl2 skin foI
all they can lay down In Victoria. The
| Indians have already sold over 1000 skins
at this rate and have several hundred
more cached away waiting for a rise In
| the price. Seals have been running clOst
in shore this spring, enabling the Indians
| TO do great execution in their canoes
The rate paid to the Indians by Moss Il
unprecedented and indicates heavy price
on the cleanup in the fall.

M'KINLEY BILL
It's Future Influence on Canadian Com
merce


PARIS, April 3-Iu an interview today
Mercier, the Canadian delegate, explain
ing his object to counteract the United
States tariff. said he wished TO negotiate
a loan Of 81. 10000 for the conversion Of
the internal debt, the building Of railways
and the development Of the resources OF
his country. He would study the beet
sugar industry in Belgium and Germany
in order to apply the same system In the
dominion. He would consult the French
government and the chamber Of com
merce regarding the exchange OF French
wines for Canadian timber. lie had a
contract to export to France horses bred
in Canada, in exchange for French stall
lions. Farseeing Canadians consider the
Mckinley law blessing, as IL tends 70

commercial emancipation.
Mercier thought that some day In the
| future Canada would perhaps attain in

! English papers, which presumed the eX-
! istence Of an annexation party, talked

WANTS BETTER LAW
England Dissatisfied With Their Pres

LONDON, April 3-The agitation for
reform Of the English divorce law In the
direction Of liberalty, has been gaining
ground ever since the release Of Mrs.
Jackson from her husbands custody, and
is likely to make its appearance in parlia-
ment People are coming forward In the
newspapers with numerous instances OF
the hardship OF the present law upon
both husbands and wives deserted by
their partners but unable to obtain a di-
vorce. In some instances the husbands
are convicts, sentenced to long terms OF
Imprisonment, while the wives are left
destitute but cannot re-marry. In other
cases the husband or wife Is an habitual
drum ard, homes are broken up and chill
dren are In the care Of relatives, but no
divorce can be obtained. 1t is not thought
likely, however, that any reform can as
yet be effected, as the established church
Is opposed to any relaxation Ct the law.
