MOBILE, ALA, Oct. "a southeast
gale broke here this morning about i
o'clock and the wind has been increas-
ing in velocity ever since, until at this
hour Il p. M it is blowing at least fifty
miles an hour. The barometer is still
falling. The wind has blown the water
in from the gulf until the river has
reached ROYAL street, which is four
blocks from the river, and at an eleva-
ton OF about fifteen feet IRON the main
river height
There is no possible chance Of esti-
mating tho money damage. All the
wholesale and u great portion OF the re-
tail district is some four feet under
water, aud thousands OF dollars worth
OF goods have been damaged.
The pilot boat Ida Low has been
driven on the wharf at the foot OF st.
Francis street.
The bay boat Heroine was driven on
the Mobile & Ohio wharf and almost
totally wrecked. Tho Crescent City,
another bay boat, LETT Point Clear at the
same time the Heroine did this morn
ing, and has not since been heard from.
1t is reported that three dredges,
working on the channel, have been lost.
1t is also reported here that some fifty
miles OF the Louisville & Nashville rail
road along the coast are under water,
and that the Biloxi bridge has been
swept away by the gale. Nothing has
been heard from tho gardeners in the
marshes east Of the city, and tho worst
is feared.
Telegraphic communication is cut off
in almost every direction, and from the
present outlook Mobile will be entirely
cut of from the outside world when
dark comes. In this city houses have
been unroofed, trees blown down and
one cotton warehouse succumbed to the
fury OF the gale. All the smoke stacks
on all the manufacturing industries
have blown down. Street car traffic
has been totally suspended because of
the damage TO the electric wires, and
the city will no doubt be in darkness
tonight as the waves are fast encroach-
ing on the electric light works, which
may be under water in another hour.
The busiest thoroughiares OF the city
are being navigated in boats ana parties
are wading up to their arm pits in an
effort to save goods. 1t is conceded by
all to be the worst storm that has ever
visited Mobile.
The southern part OF the city presents
scene of wreekage as ii it had been
bombarded. The towers on the court
house and Christ church are tottering.
Dredge No. turned over near the
light house, and three men were thrown
into the angry waves.
At great peril the crew OF the tug
Captain Sam steamed up and rescued
two, one being lost. An unknown
white man was lost while wading from
Union Depot on Government street.

CHANCES OF COMPROMISE

On the Silver Question in the Senntc-Mr.
Faulkner Working Hard For 1t.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. While
there is not SO much surface talk con-
cerning the probabilities OF an early
adjustment OF the differences among
senators over the repeal bill, the work
has not ceased by any means. 1t is
understood that the work is confined
almost exclusively to the Democratic
side.
Senator Faulkner, OF West Virginia
who has from the first taken leading
part in the effort to secure settle
ment, gAid to-day that next week would
witness nm adjustment OF the differ
ences, and that bill would be agreed
upon which would be satisfactory to
the Democratic party, and which would
pass the senate. He thought this
would be accomplished between the
ninth and thirteenth. He adheres
to his amendment as the
best basis OF compromise. The repeal
men are making n strong effort to have
the time at which the purchase and
coinage OF silver shall cease reduced to
one to two years. In case this should
be done and bill brought in reducing
the amount to be purchased and pro-
viding for the stopDaGe OF the purchase
altogether at any time before the 4th OF
March, 1897, it would meet with opposi-
ton from the senators from silver pro-
ducing states.
They say it would simply postpone
the, to them, evil day. They would
have no hope OF securing legislation
favorable to silver while Mr. Cleveland
remains President. II the time should
be extended beyond Cleveland's term
OF Office, they might possibly consent.
There are some indications OF DIS
position to weaken in the effort to
couple bond issue provision with the
present bill, because OF the difficulty OF
securing the acquiesCence OF a majority
OF Democratic senators, and OF, the con-
sequent impossibility OF reaching an
agreement on a party measure. This
feature will not be surrendered as long
as there is any chance of putting it
throuph

lima, interrupted to say that he had
been d federal supervisor, and to ask
how federal supervisors could prevent
the election OF Democrats.
Mr.. Clark replied by arresting Demo-
Gratis and holding them until the polls
closed.
Then Mr.. Murray wanted to know
what class OF officials, United States or
state, made the most arrests on election
day.
Mr.. Clark said he had never known n
man to be arrested at the polls by state
or municipal officers except as a result
OF a knock.down drag.out fight He
said that the color line would not be
wiped out until the colored race divided
OH economic and other issues as white
men did.
Mr.. Murray asked what good it would
do for the colored men in the south to
divide until the white men did.
Mr.. Clark said that they would not
divide until the bugaboo OF negro domi-
nation was gone.

THE TEN PEK CENT TAX


On state neutrality-suspicious. Are Afraid
of Its Repeal.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2.-The
banking and currency committee OF the
house will continue its present hear
ings this week. A number OF bills are
pending before the committee, but the
arguments will be directed mainly in
support OF the proposition to repeal the
10 per cent tax on state banks.
Some OF the Republican members be-
came quite alarmed to-day after a
count, fearing that bill to repeal the
10 per cent tax on state bank issues
would bo carried through the commit
tee. A Democrat says such bill can
not secure favorable report from the
committee; that while all the southern
members have been counted in its
favor, it is known that at least two are
opposed to such action.

Wilson Is Puzzled.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2.-The Dem
ocratic members OF the ways and means
committee are making progress with
the tariff bill. The ground work is un-
derstood to be free raw materials, with
compensatory reductions in other di.
rections. Chairman Wilson is said to
be puzzled over the demand by many
Democrats in his state for the retention
OF the coal and iron duties, but he looks
to other schedules where reductions
will more than make up any loss, real
or anticipated. As an instance OF COM
pensatory reductions several staples in
Michigan are cited. Here are largely
produced iron, copper, salt and lumber.
There is also talk that in making
reductions that sufficient duty may be
levied 10 yield revenue to the in
creased importations, aiording more
money than the present tariff. But the
increase OF the free list will offset this
Increase in tho duties by reducing the
duty on articles to the revenue point
The customs revenues with the present
internal revenue taxes will not, there
fore, suffice to meet the increased eX-
penditures, even ii the sinking fund is
not provided for. There is growing
impression that the deficit will be met
bv an increase in the internal revenue
taxes on whisky and tobacco.
