RESULTS OF THE STORM.
Seven Lives Lost Through the Strand
ing of Bark.


ing of Bark.
LONDON, Nov. 13.-The bark which
yesterday stranded off Kinsale, Ireland.
is the Gylfe, from Quebec, October 1st,
for Liverpool. The life-saving crew at
Kinsale finally succeeded in rescuing the
Captain and four OF the crew, but all of
other men of the bark were drowned.
The number of those who lost their lives
on the Gylfe is seven.
Stories of wreck and disaster, caused
by the storm, continue to be received.
The news has just reached this city
of the loss at sea of the British steamer
Fairfield. No lives were lost.
The British ship Talisman, from Taco
ma, June 18th, for Havre, passed Deal
to-day. She reports that she was thrown
on her beam ends in hurricane yester-
day and her cargo shifted so it was neces-
sary to jettison fifty tons of wheat. Much
damage was done to the vessel by the
storm.
IN BELGIUM.
BRUSSELS, Nov. I3.-The storm was
felt with unusual severity throughout
Belgium. At Antwerp shipping in the
Scheldt suffered severely. Much damage
was done at Ghent and other places.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. - Compare
lively few members of Congress have yet
reached Washington, but the skirmish
line in the Speakership fight is being
thrown about the Capital, and a great
deal of preliminary burning of powder
has begun. Most of the candidates will
have their headquarters formally estab
Hshed within few days. A great many
stories in the interest of this candidate or
that are being circulated, and the cham
pions of each side are getting ready for
the struggle.
The relative strength of the candidates
may be guessed at very closely, but no
one knows how near the strongest candi-
date is to election. Crisp's friends seem
to feel sure that he has the best prospects
before him, but admit that he has a dan
gerous rival in Mills or Mcmillan.
Mills has been doing some very active
work of late, and his friends speak with
great confidence of his election. He has
been conceded to have considerable
strength in the West from the start, but
IN the East and South he has been re-
garded as weak. He has naturally been
very anxious to get the support of Cleye-
land and his friends to influence the
Eastern vote, and of course the silver
question plays an important part in the
discussion of his chances.
The silver question is one which threat
ems to give the Democrats considerable
annoyance, and Of course all leaders who
nave in view the success of the ticket in
1892 are anxious TO avoid an issue on that
question, which might make division
IN the party, and would handicap them in
s,D ID n
sets of opinions on the money question in
the House. The radical anti-silver men
are in small minority. The radical sill
yer men are IN a larger minority. The
conservative men, who have no fear of
the free coinage OF silver which is enter
tained by some, and are rather inclined
10 favor it, but most of all want to keep
10 a policy which will be safe beyond
question, and viii hold the party to-
gether, hold the balance of power between
the two extremes.
HATCH OF MISSOURI A CANDIDATE.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. l3.-The Executive

mittee and Executive Committee of the
Missouri branch Of the National Demo-
cratic Clubs and the entire Missouri Con-
gressional delegation, with the exception
Of one member, together with Il number
Of prominent and leading Democrats of

DEMOCRATIC SPECULATIONs.
BOSTON, Nov. 13.-The Globe. in a
tripIe-leaded editorial, advocated the
nomination of Governor William Z. Rus
sell for President, and claims that if
nominated for President he would carry
the State with its fifteen electoral votes
for the Democratic party. The Globe
adds: There can be no question that the
standard-bearer OF the Democracy must
be a New York statesman if the Demo-
Gratis Of the all-important pivotal States
are agreed upon his name. Should there
not be such unanimity Governor Russell
is the most available candidate.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Marie Vanzandt
made her American debut to-day at the
Auditorium. The great building was
thronged with fashionable audience,
and the interest displayed in the fair
young American was something remark
able. Nile. Vanzandt achieved a decided
triumph as Amina in LA Sonnambula,"
fully sustaining the reputation gained by
her in Europe. The Auditorium stage
was literally buried by floral offerings in
her honor, and after the performance she
