Garfield A..omply Explains.

In referring 10 the story Of Grand
Master Workman Powdorly's decision,
as printedin yesterdays IETELIIaENcER,
members OF the Garfield assembly say
that Mr.. Powderly's decision was to the
effect, not that the assembly could not
collect back dues from old members
who had loft without taking out card,
unless tho assembly had during the
time no was out paid the capitatlon
tux, but that the back dues could be
collected, provided the assembly, after
collecting, puid the capItation tax into
tho general treasury of the K. OF l.
Members OF the assembly say the capita
ton tax has always been paid in such
cases, and that instead OF having several
hundred dollars TO pay, the assembly
will have to pay for only one former
member, who has come back since the
last meeting.

There has beengreat complaint about
the large number Of dogs, many OF them
vicious, in the LaBelle neighborhood.
Yesterday afternoon one OF them at
tackled Mrs. J. B. Hallet on Thirty-third
street, inAicting a severe wound in the
thigh. A policeman tried to get tho
dog out OF his hiding place, but failed.
It is said that some OF the dogs that
annoy the neighborhood have no
owners, at least nobody willing to claim
them, and it is suggested that the police
might do good work by pulling in and
getting rid OF the Migrants.

LONDON, May l9.-Adylces received
here from Mauritus state that a hurrl-
cane unprecedented in Its violence
passed over that island on April 20,
causing enormous damage to shipping.
\ majority OF tho vessels ut the island
were blown ashore. The western half
Of Port Louis, tho capital, was do

gigantic trees worc uprooted and that
part OF tho town was about wiped out

caught in tho falling houses and
crushed TO death, while others lost their
lives by being struck by flying debris
while they were attempting to seek
places OF safety. q The exact number OF
dead is not known. Every effort is bc.
ing made by the authorities to alleviate
the suffering that has been caused BY
the disaster. The governor has issued
orders for military tents to be distri-
buted to shelter the homeless, and food
is being issued to those who have lost
everything by tho storm. 81
Half OF the crops OF sugar, rice, coffee
and pepper have been utterly ruined,
and the loss in this direction is ex.
tremely heavy. ,.sts
Marritus, or as il is sometimes called,
Isle Of France, has always been noted
for its violent and destructive hurri.
canes, but this one exceeds in destruc-
tiveness any hitherto known. The
island lies in the Indian ocean and is
well known rs the sceno OF tho famous
story OF "Paul and Virginia" In that
story the author describes with great
minuteness q terrible hurricane that
passed over the island. during which
Paul and Virginia lost their lives. But
the horror OF that scene was far excelled
by this last death-carrying wind that
has thrown the whole island into
mourning.
It is no! in the power of words to de.
scribe the scene. Tho lowering skies
and falling barometers gave warning OF
the approach OF tho storm. Taking
warning from previous gales, every
thing possible was done to minimize
the threatened idamage. But when at
last tho gale burst, allstlie precautions
proved Of no avail. The shipping in
the harbor sent down their topmasts,
extra anchors were put down, cables
were paid out, and everything was
snug below and, aft. Had it been an
ordinary hgrrieans, the vessel might
have successfully ridden out tho storm.
But SO fierce was the storm that cables
parted like pack thread, and the vessels
were dashed upon the coral reefs that
