TEMPEST TOSSED.

The City Of Colon. on the Isthmus of Pan.
anna Visited by a Terrible .sNorts,e-a
Lasting Three Days-The Shipping in
the Harbor Placed In Imminent Peril
The Casualties, However. were Not
Numerous.
PANAMA, Nov. 11.-The city of Colon
was visited by "norther'' on the 27tl1
ultimo, which lasted three days. The
morning opened with a cloudy, fore
boding look, which to those accustomed
tc the yearly visitati ton, was sufficient
reason to prophesy that ''norther''
was in sight. A northwesterly ground
swell commenced about p. m, and
gradually increased and moderated al
ternately until 4:30, when it increased
to such an extent as to cause much
anxiety to the shipping in port The
Royal Mail steamship Orinoco was first
to leave her dock, and was quickly fol-
lowed by the Avon of the same line,
finding safe anchorage in the bay. The
Pacific Mail steamship Colombia left
her dock shortly after o'clock
The American schooner Nellie T.
Morse, with cargo of lumber con-
signed to Mr.. j. A. Cespedes. was
moored at No. dock and rode the
night at her anchorage, although in a
very dangerous position, and had to be
made fast by five strong lines stretched
across to and made fast on the capstan
on the south side of the Royal Mail
dock. Intellectual efforts were made
by the consignee to obtain the steam
launch from the canal company to tow
the schooner out. Early the next
morning the steam tug used for quar-
antine purposes came to the assistance
of the schooner and towed her out
The weather con tinued bad all the
morning without any signs of abate-
ment. At II a. m. a strong wind sprang
up which gradually increased with
rough and rising seas.
Shortly after the Royal Mail steamer
Avon left for Port Limon.
The Colombia, of the Pacific Mail
line, fearing she would not be able to
ride it out, ran before the tossing waves
to Port Bello, where she found ample
safety and remained until the follow
ing day.
The United States cruiser Concord
remained at her anchorage throughout
the storm and CALAMITY battled with
the boisterous winds and waves. The
only casualty was that of a passenger
schooner that sailed on the morning of
the 27th for Bocas del Loro, and which
put back to Colon on the Goth in a dis
abled condition. She had forty passen-
gers On board and was four hours at
the mercy of the elements. When she
got back to Colon her mast and every
piece of sail was gone.

Triumph of the French in Dahomey-Co'.
Dodds Promoted.

PARIS. Nov. IA late official dis
patch states that the French forces
have captured Cana, a short distance
from Abomey, the capital Of DahoIney,
after vigorous resistance. The
French loss was eleven killed and
forty-two wounded. The capture of
Cana is practically the end of the cam
paign against King Behanzin. Shortly
after the receipt of the news that Cana
had fallen into the hands of the French,
the promotion of Col Dodds, COM
rnander of the French forces. to be a
general. was gazetted.
Late dispatches bring the news that
on November 1 Col. Dodds captured
Macuo, and on the 9Th Cana. The total
loss among the French in both battles
was sixteen killed, including Lieut..
Muerier, and eighty-two wounded,
among them Lieut.. Gay and DIR. Routh,
whose won nds may prove fatal The
others are not seriously injured The
French are continuing their march to
Abomey. King Behanzin's army has
been reduced to 1900. The Dahome-
ans are apparently determined to re-
sist to the last They are provided
with modern weapons and use explosive
bullets, but their Workmanship is de-

FlFTYfH,Rp CONGRESS.

The Exact Strength Of the Several Parties
Not Yet Definitely Determined-The
Third Party will. Apparently. Hold tina
balance of Power Ira the Senate, and IL
Expected to Operate with the Demo-
Gratis.
New YORK. Nov. 12.-More than
forty-eight hours after the polls have
closed i. is still impossible to give the
status of the several parties in the
Fifty-third congress officially. The
developments of the day tend to con-
firm to the point of absolute certainty,
the statement made originally in
the United Press dispatches that
the balance of power in the
next senate would be held by
the third party. although by a narrow
margin. The democrats will gain sem
ators in New York, Wisconsin, Wyom-
ing and California, giving them forty
three. The republicans will retain
successor to Senator Paddock, from Ne
braska, and also to Senator Perkins,
from Kansas, although the legisla-
ture in this state is still close.
The legislatures of Minnesota and
Michigan have republican majerities-
The republican strength in the senate
is thus reduced to forty-two, leaving to
Senators PETER, Kyle and Stewart,
(who will succeed himself from Ne
vada) the power to control the organi-
zation by alliance with either of the
parties. The expectation is that they
will operate with the de mocrats in this
matter.
Up to midnight the result in congress
sional districts in New Hampshire,
Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Kansas and California was unsettled,
the figures not having been fully re-
ported. The probabilities are that the
state delegations in the next house of
representatives will stand about as fol-
lows:

THE NEW ORLEANS STRIKE.

1t Has Been Declared or and the Men
are Practically at the Mercy of Their
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Men Must Work
Sixteen Hours = Day for Forty Dollars q
Month.
New ORLEANS, Nov. 12-New Orleans
once more assumes the semblance of a
city. The big strike is over, but there
still exists a considerable amount of
itl-feeling among the men who were
locked out for the past fortnight. This
feeling manifested itself among the car
drivers to-day. When they applied for
work on the various lines they found
their places filed by Eon-union men.
and they were informed that if they
wanted to return they would have to
remain on duty for sixteen hours at
forty dollars a month. Previous to the
strike they received fifty dollars for
twelve hours work. The presidents of
the roads are firm in their determine
ton to employ whom t',ey please at
what salary they please and further
trouble is expected. The rank and file
OF the union men have Vigorously OPP
posed the action taken b..r the commit
tee of the amalgamated council and
claim that the backdown authorized by
it was illadvised. The president Of the
council, James Leonard, is the fastest
printer in the south, and when the
union men returned to work it was ex.
pressly stipulated that Leonard should
not return to work. This determine
ton caused some ill-feeling. but the
printers finally agreed to the PROPOSE
ton, -and Leonard is consequently out
of a job.
Gov. Foster left the city to-day fully
satisfied with TIE settlement of the
trouble and convinced that there
would be no further difficulty.

of effecting the compromise is given, is
