A STORM-GIRT KINGDOM.
THE HURRICANE OVER THE BRITISH
ISLES INCREASING.

Pedestrians Cannot Walk the Streets OF
the Worst Since the Great Tay Disaster
Many Shipwrecka
LONDON, Oct. 14.-The st. James Gazette
this afternoon says: 'Not within recent
memory has such terrific storm ragged in
England, and terrible catalogue of disas-
ter at sea is expected. Great damage has
been done in many parts OF the country,
and were it not that the houses are substan-
tial, we might have to lament disaster as
terrible as that which attends an American
cyclone" The trees in Richmond Park,
Bushey Park, st. James Park and Victoria
Park have been greatly damaged
At Dover, Kent, the hurricane is worse
than the first fearful weather experienced
during the blizzard of March. The Ostend
boat has been unable to approach near the
shelter pier of Dover and has been driven
out to sea again. Since that time tie boat
has not been heard of, but it is thought that
she has been able to make some place of
shelter.
The greatest danger is experienced by
pedestrians who are compelled to pass
through the streets OF Dover, owing to fall
ing tiles, states and bricks from chimneys
which have been toppled over by the wind.
As it is a number of more or less serious
injuries from such accidents have been re-
ported. The military camp at Shorencliffe,
near Folkestone, not far from Dover, also
suffered from the storm, buildings being
partly or entirely unroofed.
This afternoon the gale in the channel was
increasing in fury instead of decreasing, and
all steamers at sea are being forced to make
some harbor. A telegram from Folkestone
says steamer flying signals of distress has
been sighted off that port, and seems to be
in danger of becoming a total wreck. The
local lifeboat has repeatedly but unsuccess-
fully attempted to put out to her assistance.
Additional reports from Glasgow say that
at that point the storm is undoubtedly the
most severe since the terrible Tay bridge
disaster
The list of vessels which have foundered
during the gale is only beginning to be
made out. Two coasting vessels it is known
have foundered in Loch Long, a branch of
the Firth of Clyde, and six men of their
crews were drowned. The new ship Helen
Brewer capsized at Glasgow, and over a
dozen yachts, number of coasting vessels
and many lighters are ashore in the Clyde,
The steamship Anchoria, of the Inman line
grounded at Greenock but has since been
hoated.

General st. Clair's Defeat by the Indians
Observed at Fort Recovery.
TOLEDO, Oct 14.-One hundred years ago
General Arthur st. Clair was disastrously
defeated by the Indians at Fort Recovery,
near the north border of Drake county.
The peopls to-day began the memorial OBJ
servance of his defeat. The principal
streets are gaily decorated with flags, bunt-
ing and portraits of pioneer celebreties
Governor Campbell arrived on the noon
train, and was escorted to the Wayne House
by delegation of 2, 900 citizens. This after
noon he delivered an appropriate address of
an hours duration, in which he urged the
citizens and the Monumental Association,to
put forth strenuous efforts to secure an ap-
preparation from Congress to erect suit
able monument to mark the spot where rest
the bones of the fallen heroes of the conflict
of 1891. Governor Campbell was followed
by General E. B. Finley, of Bucyrus, who
was Adjutant General of Ohio under Gov
ernor Hoadley. The General was the Or
iginator of the idea of centennial memoir
ial celebration at this place. The relics of
the battle are on exhibition. Tomorrow
fully 10000 visitors are expected, Hon.
John Sherman and General w. II. Gibson to
be the principal speakers.

STORIES OF GLUTTONs.
Probably Apocryphai Accounts OF Eating
That Still Live in Literature.

Probably Apocrypha, Accounts OF Eating
That Still Live in Literature.
The 'glutton of Kent" whom Fuller
places among his worthless, devoured at
single meal, "fourscore rabbits and 18 black
puddings, London measure" Coming down
to more recent times there is the probably
apocryphal story of a Scotchman who ate a
solan goose by way of whet for dinner;
and of Welsh nobleman who devoured a
covey of partridges for breakfast every
morning. There is also awell-known legend,
which found its way into Punch, of certain
eminent politician who entered an eating-
house near the Old Bailey, and after putting
away seven pounds and half of cold boiled
beef, observed eheerfully to the landlord,
"Capital beef this! One may cut and come
again here"
On the Derby day, few years ago,
wellknown man of business-let us call
him Mr. X.-went down to EPSON with the
rest of the world, and, after the great race
was over, bethought himself of lunch. 1t
was then o'clock, and he was ravenously
hungry. Seeing no friendly coach or car
riage at hand he entered one of the refresh
ment booths, where three-and-sixpenny
meal was provided for all comers. He at
tackled some ribs of beef and soon cleared
them to the bone; then he "went for q
chicken, which also disappeared; finally he
espied pigeon pie at the other end of the
table, which had not yet been touched, and
ordered the waiter to bring it to him. But
the waiter, after a whispered conference
with an individual in black, who had been
observing Mr.. KS performances with sus-
picion and alarm, came and said confiden-
TALLY, eff you please, sir, the governor says
as how he won't charge you nothing for
anything if you'll go away at once"

AN ARCTIC MUTINY.
The Crew of a Government Prison
Ship Strike for Fresh Meat.
THEY SHIRK THEIR DUTY TWICE.
A Threat to Put Them Ashore Brings the
MalcOntents to Terms.
HARD LINES FOR POACHING SEALERS

SAN Francisco, Oct. 14.-The steamer
Alki, Captain Plummer, arrived from
Ounalaska to-day after passage of nine
days. The Al-Ki has been stationed at
Ounalaska as prison ship, chartered by the
United States Government. The steamer
brought down Commander Meade, q. S.
N; Captain Cochrane, U. S. M. c.; Dr.
Page, U. s. N; Lieutenants Turner and
Pendleton, U. 8. NJ. c., and United States
District Judge farley.
Captain Plummer states that the Thetis
sailed from Ounalaska for this port on the
4th inst, but was compelled to return on
account of bad weather. She intended to
make another start as soon as the gale mod
crate. The Mohican intended sailing from
Ounalaska on the 10th inst. The Al-Ki
had good weather on the trip down, but
while in port there was plenty of rain, wind
and snow.
Captain Plummer sailed from San Fran
cisco, June %, and made the run to Ouna-
laska in ten days. She served 80 days as a
prison ship for seized sealers, and in that
time had on board three sealers' crews, be-
longing to the English schooner E B. Mar
vim and the American schooners Laninfa
aud Ethel "On August 4, said the Cap
tain, eve sailed for Sitka with the Ethel
and Laninfa in tow, and arrived there Au-
gust 10 at noon with no mishaps."
August IL the crew of the Al-Ki refused
to perform their duty, and the fremen and
coal passers also refused. 1 put six of the
crew in Jail. Next day they were taken out
and put on board the Mohican. / managed
to get crew from a sailing schooner, La
Ninfa, and put them on board, but the fire.
men and coal passers refused to let them
work and would not work themselves. 1t
was nothing more or less than mntiny. The
men expected to live on fresh meat, which
was almost impossible to get in these
waters. Some concessions were made, and
1 sailed from Sitka August 10 and arrived
at Ounalaska August 20.
"While lying in Ounalaska, there were at
times as many as fifteen ships in port, and
during the summer as many as "a ships have
been in the Ounalaska harbor. The sealers
had quite a hard time to dodge so many war
ships, for there were nine of them-English
and American-cruising.
"On July 4, while at Ounalaska, the crew
refused to obey some necessary order issued
BY the First Officer. found it necessary to
call on CAPTAIN Cochrane, of the Marine
Corps, and he informed me that the next
time the crew revolted to put every one of
them on shore, and he would give whatever
assistance was desired to get the ship back
to San Francisco. AS soon as the crew
heard this the matter changed and no fur
ther difficulty arose."

AMERICAN FLOUR ABROAD.
Minneapolis Mills Are Crowded With Or
ders From Europe.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14-Advices from the
other side of the Atlantic are almost uni
formly bullish with regard to the future
value of wheat. A feature of the trade
here which does not usually appear in the
daily reviews of the market is the extraor-
dinary demand from England, and even
from France, for American flour. 1t does
does not fully show in the immediate ex-
ports, for the reason that those take no note
Of the immense purchases of -four which
have been made by foreigners for future
shipment.
At:Minnapolis the buying of patents to
go abroad in anything approaching the
present volume. was never before exper-
fenced. A Paris flour merchant, writing
under date of October l, says that American
flour is preferred there by bakers, and can be
laid down there at such rates that it does
not pay to import the wheat for milling.
The result has been that wheat bought in this
country for future delivery has been resold.
The writer expects higher prices for wheat,
even if Russia does not prohibit exports,
though the latter is anticipated.

COPYRIGHT BENEFITS.
FOREIGN NATIONS SECURING THEM
UNDER THE NEW LAW.


Great Britain, France, Belgium and switz-
erland Enjoying the Privilege-Press
CabIegrams Protected the Same as
Books-The System Is Working splen-
didIy
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-[Specid. Near
ly three months have elapsed since the
President proclaimed that the act of Con-
gress approved March 8, 1891, as to copy
right entry in this country by for
eign authors was in effect. The
benefits of this act were con-
fined to citizens of such nations
as granted to citizens of the United States
the benefit of copyright on the same basis
as its own citizens. Under this ruling,
Great Britain, France, Belgium and Switzer-
land are the only nations which have en-
joyed the privilege.
Mr.. Spofford, Librarian of Congress, said
that during the three months the number of
copyrights, both for this country and
for residents of foreign nations, had
increased largely. In July the
increase was but slight, but
there was a considerable advance in August,
and there has been greater this month for
books, music, engravings and other produc-
tlons covered Dy copyright. Ihls advance
had been confined almost exclusively to
Great Britain and France, as Belgium and
Switzerland had not yet availed themselves
of the privileges.
He said that the cable and rapid mails
offered such facilities for communication
that foreign authors and the countries named
could readily, directly or through their
agents or partners, secure copyright in this
country simultaneously with that obtained
in Great Britain, France, Belgium,
and Switzerland, and many persons we're
availing themselves of the opportunity.
Mr.. Spofford said that the principles of
copyright for books applied to the cable
grams published under copyright in papers
or by the great press associations of the
country. These copyrights were good for %
years and were secured in the same way as
copYrights for books.

MRS. oRDwAY's TALE NOT BELIEVED.
Her Husband Never Before Named in Con-
nection With SMELLS Murder.


nection With SMELLS Murder.
CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-Ira j. Ordway, the
father of A. K. ordway, furnishes the fol-
lowing statement for publication: 'The
statement of Mrs. A. X. Ordway, who was
taken to the Bayview asylum yes
terday, is my first intimation that my son,
Albert K Ordway, who died in Baltimore
last March, had any connection with the
Smell murder. The statement has no
weight with me, nor will it be credited by
those who are in position to know the
facts, whether the woman who makes them
be sane or insane"
This is the first association of the name of
young Ordway with murder, and the story
is generally descredited. Young Ordway
was associated with his father in the tailor
ing business in this city at one time, and
the firm made Tascott's clothes; but it does
not appear that young Ordway ever had
other than business relations with the sup
posed murderer. The woman who tells the
story was Mrs. Beachman and was married
to young Ordway after the latter was di-
vorced from his wife. His death in Balti-
more in last March is supposed to have been
q case of suicide.
